Latent Value of Our Straw Stacks, Burning straw -stacks are a familiar eight to the western traveller. At present there is seemingly nes other er method of disposing of this by-pro- duct of the grain hnlvest. Investigations as to the possibility of using the straw fee a raw material in manufacture were undertaken roma Years ago by different interests, but the same couelusfon was reached in each epee. The cost of transporting the straw to it central point was more than the traffic would bear, the cost of manufacturing precluded competition in the open market, and, consequently, the use of the western straw under the transportation handicap was not a commercial proposition. This was es- pecially the case iu the manufacture of strawboard. In 1913, strawboard prices ranged from $25 to $26 per ton. There was little demand for this pro- duct in the went, and, at rho above price, it could not compete in the east. One leadingeastern paper industry, which, eon10 years ago, carefully con- sidered the possibilities of establish- ing a strawboard mill i11 the west, re- cently stated that, under present con- ditions, with strawboard selling at $85 to $90 per ton, such a factory could be made a profitable industry, The rising cost and the necessity for conserving our pulpwood supply suggest that any material capable of being used as a substitute should be developed. Strawboard is a short - fibred material and is unsuitable where strength or folding qualities are required, but there are many uses for lvhlcll it M entirely satistactorv. In 918 Canada imported 4,850 tons o trawboard, equal to the output of mill producing 15 tons per dee".

If growing girls are to become well developed, healthy women their blood supply must be carefully watched. Mothers should not ignore their unset- tled moods or the various troubles that tell of approaching womanhood.. It should be constantly borne in mind that pale, bloodless girls need plenty of nourishment, plenty of sleep and re- gular open-air exercise. But a lack of appetite, and tired, aching limbs tend to hinder progress. To save the weak, thin -blooded sufferer she must have new, rich, red blood and nothing meets a cars of this hind so well as Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. These pills not only enrich and increase the blood supply, they help the appetite and aid digestion, relieve the weary back and lirabs, thus promptly restoring health and strength and transforming anae- mic girls and women into cheerful, happy people. Among the thousands who have obtained new health and strength through the use of Dr, Wil- liams' Pink Pills is Mies Violet Booth, Glenarm, Ont., who says:—"For a long time I was in a badly run down condi- tion. I was pale, breathless at the least exertion, and could hardly do f any housework without stopping to a rest. I often had severe headaches, and my appetite was poor and fickle, e and I would get up in the morning without feeling the least bit rested. I lead tried several medicines, but did . not get benefit from anything until I began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, When I had taken two boxes I could see an improvement, and after using six boxes I found my health fully restored. I feel altogether dif- ferent since I used the pills that I strongly advise them for all weak, run down people." If you are weak or ailing in any way, avail yourself at once of the splendid home treatment which Dr. Williams' Pink Pills so easily afford, and you will be among those who rejoice in regained health. These pills are sold by all dealers in medicine, or may be had by mall at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.60 by writing The Dr, Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, 0 M Poisonous Plants of Canada.

Besides these there are a few bird that take part of their food from tree and the rest Bean the ground, inelu lug thrushes, blackbirds and robin Blackbirds seldom hold up their head but march along with their bill turned downward, as if entirely de voted to their tasks. They never seem to be idle, except when a flock of them is making a garrulous noise upon a tree. If a blackbird looks up- ward it is only by a sudden move- ment; he does not stop, After watch. ing a blackbird and a robin ten min- utes in the same field, one would sup- pose that the blackbird had collected twice as much food as the robin dur- Ing that time. But this would not be true, The robin is probably endowed with a greater reach of sight than the blackbird, and while hopping about with his head erect, hie vision com- prehends a wider space. The omni- vorous blackbird hunts the soil for everything that is nutritious, and picks up small seeds that require a close examination of the ground. Blackbirds of all species walk; they do not hop like the robins. Some species of the foragers do their work in compact assemblages. This habit renders the snow buntings extremely attractive, Their food is not distributed in separate morsels like that of robins andwoodpockors. It consists of the seeds of grasses and of composite plants, which are often scattered very evenly over a wide sur- face. When a flock of fifty or more settle down in a field each one fares as well as if he were alone, during the short tim0 he remains on. the spot. The foraging habits of domestic poultry illustrate some of the dif- ferences observed iu the manners of wild birds. Place a brood of duck in a field and they will generally pursue one course, marching in a body over the field with great regularity. A brood of chickens, on the contrary, will scatter, occasionally reassembling, but never keeping close. together, un- less they are following a leen. Tur- keys scatter themselves Iess than chickens, but do not equal ducks in the regularity of their movements, ale eh nil ve 0r, en'. a. ke he as eye le I 11- ore e e. el' t 0 0 0 s e s t d- e, 9, 3 A STILE 1111 EVERY DOSE OE BABY'S OWW1 TABLETS Baby's Own Tablets are a regular joy giver to the little ones—they never fail to matte the cross baby happy, When baby is cross and fretful the mother may be sure something is the matter for it is not baby's nature to bo cross unless he is ailing.

Sightseers Carried on Hos- pital Trains. Hospital trains still bearing their Rod Cross emblems will tour the French battlefields' next summer, but instead of wounded heroes they will be loaded with sightseers. The plan is part of the general scheme of the French office of national tourism, which intends using ambulance trains to relieve the hotel congestion, each train being arranged with all the necessities' for a weep or tern day tour of the British, French and American fronts. The transport companies and hotel proprietors will urge the public not to visit the districts simultaneously, five districts being arranged for selection by 01 Iters, The office is under the Ministry of Public Works, which will prevent hotels' in the larger towns and cities from charging excessive rates,. but the biggest problem was to care far thousands in the districts where there is no accommodation whatever and the Red Cross train plan promises success. The French Government points out that it has information that a half million Americans already have asked for passports and also thirty thousand Canadians, and France has only 12,- 000 hotels.
