How many people know this

gets into your thread when sewing

The following is a simple home
test for dirty nnillc which it might
be well for hou,k6wrives of Canada to
apply. A perfectly ,clean funnel is
used with a small piece of clean
wire netting fitted in the neck open •
ing and a thin layer of clean cotton
b,altingon the wire netting, The
i
funnel s etood in large jar and
a quart or more, of the milk filtered
through the eatton. The cotton is
then removed and placed on Clean
white eas.d to dry. If there is evi-
dence of diet upon it the aibbention
of the milkman may be called to
this direct evidence of careless
handling and if trouble persists the
keel health authorities may be Tesei-
fied.
Break host Su g ges Li o
When planning ;the flimsily break-
fast the needs of the men who go
forth each day e,s breedrwinners
should be carefully considered, If
their work is inantials or their (time
is,seient in the open ithe food meet
•be nourishing .and substantial, but
if the work ie confining and entails
much brain work :and nervous etrain
see that elle main dish is enetaining
but easily assimilated.
Often the rest of bhe family does
nob care for or require more 'than
a little fruit or cereal: with some
suitable breakfast breed and coffee.
But if our amen are to be properly
equipped for their share of the da,y'e
work start them off with a well-pre-
pared breakfastsserved on eime
and bitted bo their taste as weal as
needs.
The various ,dithes 'suggested here
are, of eourse, merely to eupplemient
the regular light breakfast, and the
recipes ,easily can be inoreased for
es many as wish to perteke. AB
measuremi,ents are level and e grad-
ed half-pint cup is used.
Eggs for Breakfasst.—There is no
better or more perfect breakfast
than eggs. At the present time,
however, their oast is, so high thee
they may have to be the exception
rather than the rule, unless you
learn to so peel your egg dishes that
the man with a hearty arprpetite will
be .satisfied with one or at most, two.
eggs at one meal. For the brain
worker a well -cooked fresh egg is of
mare value than three times its bulk
in meat and nottitoes. Th,e hard
eralser, may want some ballast be-
sideshis eggs:, and for him we must
build up some attractive dish and
add the eggs to give the neees.sary
nourishment.
Hashed Potatoes with Eggs.—
Method : Hashed potatoes sounds
easy, and few would think it necee-
sary to give direetione how to pre-
pare them. However, there is a
wrong *des well as a right way of
preparing potatoes,. For hashing
potatoes :should: be cooked in the
skin and allowed to stand th lest
one day. Then skin and chop—do
nob grind through chopper—the po-
tatoes into small particles. Now
place a tablespoonful of lard and
butter or good bubterine in a spi-
der, When hot add one oupfult of
the potatoes and ;carefully brown on
lower side. Have ready a little
more shortening and as you turn
the potatoes slip in the fat, sprin-
kle salt and pepper over them sand
watch to see that they brown equea-
ly well on bottom. When well
heated through and a golden brown
on both sides, invert them on a hob
plate and place 011e os. two poached
eggs on 'bop, season eggs and tap
off peitato,e:e with little more salt
end pepper and add a little chop-
ped pareley if an hand
Sausagettes and Tomatoes.—Me-
thod; Take three email pork sau-
sages and dip in cold •water for a
few minutes. Now elip off the skin
and foam ;the, meat into flat cakee.
Fry in a .small pan until nioely
browned,. Pouar off the surplus taut
and add one-half cupful of left -over
tomatoes, a little chapped peppers,
and if mixture is too thin, a little
rolled cracker meal may be adde,d.
As soon as hot serve on a heated

' VANISHING VISIONS.
German Emperor Is Beginning to
Look Serie us.
At the beginning of the war the
Kaiser either laughed or affected
to laugh at the little British army
that crossed over to France. It was
small, indeed, as compared with
his conscript millions,- but it has at
least taught him bhe risk involved
in laughing first—of boasting, in
other words, in the ace of iputting
on his ,stemor, says a Scotch paper.
Aecording to all accounts he is a
vast deal more difficult to amuse
to -day that the was eix weeks ago;
and, as time goes on, ie will be as
much ae he can do to raise a smile
when he 'conjoins Britain and Mili-
tarism in his mind. For, as at Bor-
deaux ;Wiese= phrases it this
week, the forces of the Allies are
"growing daily from all ends of the
earth." The Indian :troops are only
-waiting to begin, if they have not
begun already; Canada is sending
as a fleet contingent not 25,000
men, ibut over 50,000, French Cana -
diens to the slumber of 5,000 are
waiting permission to enlist, and
Itaban,Canadians are gebting un
battalion of their own. Mr. Fisher
pledges the Australian Common-
wealth to its last gnarl and its last
shilling in defenoe of the Empire;
and in ,South Africa General Botha
has assumed command of the troops
who have responded to the call to
defend British South Afrioa against
the German raiders, and, it may
be hoped, annex their territory la•
ter on to the Lamp? ire. The meshes
are being drawn tighter about
Kaio Chou by the japanese, and
the last of the German signalling
stag -ens in the Pacific has beeu put
out of gear. In the matter of time
the war is yoeing yet, though on the
slaughter -side it has exceededall
previous records within elle same
'leather of weeks, and it is only
now that the weight of Empire be-
gins to tell. The Kaiser laughed at
that, too, but he was two months
younger then, and, whether he has
been learning wisdom or not, he has
art least had the Sect brought home
to him that the loesely-comp.aelied
empire is the most homogeneous
thing of its kind that the world has
ever known, .a,nd that be himeelf
has done more to clesnon.strathe its
solidarity than ever weld have
been aooke,d for .otherwise from any
ane man. As for his eastern out-
look it is the reverse o,f rosy. On
theeFlrhole'therefore, ib is a fairly
safe conclusion that, as he sits in
hie bomb -proof .thelter, with the
aeroplane eherubs guarding the
sanctity of his immortal person,
the inclination to even be prospect-
iv•ely hilarious is the least develop-
ed of ,ell bbs teudeneies.

TRE StINDkISMOR
INTERNATIONAL LESSON,
NOVE31.13ER 8,
Lesson VI. Solving and 'Reaping
(Temperance Sunday) Gal. 6. 1-10.
Golden Text, Gal. 6.7.
Verse 1. Brethren—Paul comes
with the personal touch, He re-
cognizes his own weakness, his awn
danger. Bence he dee not arro-
gate to himself any particular
strength or mightiness in hiswords
of warning. We are all breth-
ren," he intimates, "not only in
our profession, ;but in our problems
and difficultiee." Hence temper-
ateness in judgment, which is the
outgo of love, is a necessary virtue
in ,all dealing's of one man with an-
other. 11 a men, he overtaken in
any trespass—The possibility is
never fax, away from any man.
Ye who are ,spirittial—Only the
spiritual minded can appreciate
the meaning of ,sinfulness es well
as suffer with the sinner. In a
spirit of gentleness—Not showing
harshness. Looking to thyself, lest
thou also be tempted—Paul sug-
gests a vivid picture here of rthe de-
plorable predicament of one
with self-assurance and a. sense of
his own invulnerability to tempta-
tion, admonished and judged one
who had talien, and who himself
in. turn became a prey to the wiles
of ,evil.
2. Bear ye one another's burdens,
and so fulfill the law of Christ —
This is the very heart of the gospel.
To bear with one another's faults
and failings requires a kind .and de-
gree of temperance which can he
drawn only from a close alliance
with the OhristeSpirit.
3. Be deceiveth himself — Self-
deception is the easieet and most
hurtful of All various forms of de-
ception, 1Self-esteem to a certain
extent is necessary. A man who
hates or debases thim,self will ex-
hibit a 'scornful and depreciating
altitude toward all of ;mankind. To
estimate rightly the Value of huanan
life in general a man Must be able
to place the proper worth upon his
owu life in particular. The danger
in this self-evaluation,. however, is
the intemperadie infialteig of one's
owe possessions and ;powers. A
man is very apt to think himself
to be something 'when he is nothing.
4. Prove his owe work—This is a
most difficult task for any ;man. 11
at men's work is good and appeal-
ing, he is .apt to lay too great
weight on the approving expres-
sions of others. The pitfall it the
public ,speaker is the praise el his
auditors, a pfaise often which is
neither intelligent nor sincere.
Every. man ought to satisfy his own
consmenee and be Iris true self, do-
ing his work as he in honesty and
with a sincere .anci meek spirit feels
it ought to be done, unmindful
either of the praise or the disap-
proval of °there. If thus to himself
he is true, ;then shall he have his
glorying in his work and the satis-
faction elicit comm from honest ef-
fort, irrespective of whet the appa-
rent results may be.
5. For each mem shall bear les
own burden—Thtit is, every mart
must do his own work, and in ;the
last estate he must do it in his own
way. He, .of course, antist develop,
and 'brain hianeelf, snaking use of
,all has talents and 'opportunities.
But when he lute clone all, it will
be he, and not enother, who has'
been ,the doer. "Foe each man
shall bear his own burden" is a
ohotel which ,carries with it the
theme of the great prophet of old
"He bred the 'whieprees
0, Let him that as tatight .
communicate unto lain that teach-
eth—tilet the pupil be true to the
teacher and reeled in his own eon-
dect the goodness, of that which is
taught. A teachermunb be a high
priest of truth ;and dwell in the
temple of eternities. The pupil
must recognize thifs divine prere-
quisite and in turn himself bee03110
an exponent of !the ultimate veri-
••••••••,....
"Does your dog love ,you, little
boy 1" "Well, I guess he loves me,
mister. He knows I'd lick him if
he didn't."
Oes, thus vouching for the validity
of the teaching.
8. For he thab soweth unto his
own flesh shall of the flesh reap
corruption ; but he ,that ,steiveth un-
to the ;Spirit shall of the spirit reap
eternal life—No COMMIT& on these
words ;can make them any ele,arer
or more .fuecilile. To each individ-
ual is given the mower to test the
truth of Paul's abatement, for each
one of us has experienced in a
grratsr or lass clegreeethe reaping
of the flesh .an,a of the spirit.
9. And let us not Ibe weed in
well-doing—The tendency is to, be-
come faint-hearted and indifferent
because no good results of well -
doing are appa,re.nt or because they
are BO keg in eppearing. Bit there
is a due season for those who faint
not, Perseverance and fidelity in
well -doing bring joy ansi peace and
good -will to ;the inner man. The
outer results can well be left to a
higher and more knowing will.
10. As we have opportunity—This
Phrase does not imply a doubt as
to whether or not we have oppor-
tunity for doing good. It, is positive
and emphatic and means that the
privilege of doing good unto all
man is e,verawhere and always at
hand. Especially toward them that
are el !the household !of the faith—
This does not mean that church
men:deers ought to discriminsee en-
tirely in, favor of their fellow mem-
bers and snake ,a business relation
out of a religious union. In. the
days of the early ,Chriet,itins there
was meth persecution of - those
who were ,of the household faith.
Hence there was an especial reason
for those of the 'faith who were
stronger .and better possessed than
their ft.lows in Christ to show the
lather an eepecial ,consideration.
LINEUP IN THE AIR.
Rrength of Nations in Aeroplanes
and Dirigibles.
The supremacy of Europe, 'per-
haps of the entire world, may be
decided for many years to come be-
fore the 'conflict ends, and in bring-
ing about this result, says a writer
in Aero anti Hydro, the aeroplane
and dirigible will play spectacular
parts. To say that, combined, they
can swing victory, he does not con-
sider an exaggeration. Yet he
acknowledges that the rrial value of
aero equipment of the most com-
plete and efficient kind available
re:mains to Ile learned by actual
service. Which netion's aerial
force will prove the strongest ,ean
only he guessed.
Numerically, France and Ruesia
combined are .stronger aerially than
Austria and Germany united. The
great air battles undoubtedly
be between these countries :Frame
and Germany opposed, Russie, ap-
pose•clao Austria and Germany with
;Servia% small equipenent on the
defensive against Austria.. Great
Britain's aerohydros, land ma-
chines and dirigibles will probably
not cross ;the channel for land fight-
ing.
In the naval battle ive may see
the aerobyclros cie France and Eng-
land united ageing the similar
equipment of Germany and Aim-
tria,, with Russia',s principal hydro
equipment; close to her own shores
on coast -defensive duty.
France is undoubtedly supreme as
far as her numerical strength with
land machines is concerned. She
could, within a few months, add to
her present quota, of 745 land ma-
chine,s, 250 to 400 others and the
pilots to main them. Russia's pre-
sent .equipment of 680 land ma-
chines could not be increased: ,by
privately owned planes, as aero-
plane ownership in Russia is gov-
ernment monopoly. .Germany could
add 200 machines and pilots to her
total of 540 land machines within a
very short time, but little increase
could be made in Austria% 130.
The total :strength of France,
Russia and iServia eembine,d in land
machines is at present 1,443. Ger-
Manta and Austria's total is less
than one half as great -670. Itmust
be borne in mind that these figures
include all flyable machines owned
by the governments. Many of them
are old rebuilt; machines that were
new ROTC three to four years ago,
but they ,are none the less eerviee-
able for some purpose. There are
more old machines in the French
equipment than in any of the other
countries. Russia's equipment be-
ing the newest
Germany's dirigible .strength is
the greatest and Austria's is very
important. Ten Zeppelin's were
recently ordered by the latter tone -
try, but have not yeb been deliver-
ed. 'Combined, the divisible forces
of Germeny and Austria total at
least 26. • These inclusio two Zep-
pelins in Almeria and eight in Ger-
many, varying in ethic -meter cepa-
oily from 17,700 to 22,000,
France has an excellent fleet of
dirigibles, however ; some of them
are exceedingly fast, and, besides
holding :the dirigible ,speeti reeord,
French military dirigibles hold the
world's duration reeord-35 boors,
eighteen Tnintrtes. This record WAS
„recently made by the 9,006 cubic -
meter L'Adjutant Vineenot, break-
ing the record of 34 hours, 59 min-
utes previously held by a Zeppelin
of 22,000 ethieeneter eapacity. Bub
France teeter the weight carrying
dirigibles of Germany, having but
one of the Zeppelin type, the Speiss,
Russia IS equally ill equipped in
that particular.
• NEW GUINEA..
70,000 More Square Miles Added to
the British Empire.
With the single exception of Aus-
tralia, New Guinea, ranks as the
largest island; in the world. It is
situated due north of Australia .a,nd
to the south-east of the :East Indies
and P,hilippine Islands.
Three European nations have in-
teeests in New Guinea—namely,
Great Britain, Holland and Ger-
many. German New Guinea occu-
pies nearly a third of the total ter-
ritory, and rejoices in:the name of
Kaiser Wilhelm's Land. With it go
the islande of the, Bismarck Aedii-
pelage, New Poinerm, New Meek -
'ethers, New Hanover, and the
Admiralty and ;Solomon Ielands,
together with nearly 200 smaller
pieces of land.
The importance of Now Guinea,
to 'the British Empire was first re-
cognized by Queensland, and also
by Australia 'generally. Queens-
land saw a denser to her commerce
in the near proximity of a foreign
Power, and in 1683 took the lam
into hew own hones, and .annexed
part of the mainland of New
Guinea. This at once raised the
question of the attitude ,of the Gov-
ernment et home, and though the
action of Queensland ,Wile disallow-
ed at the time a Protectorate was
proclaimed in, New ;Geinea, the fol-
lowing yeer. Germany then estab-
lished herself in the north 'of the
island, and an .agreement defining
the boundaries of the British and
German New.,Guinea tract 'to be fix-
ed. Considerable irritation was felt
in diplomatic circles in both Qom -
tries over the question of demarca-
tion, but boun,darief were eventu-
.ally agreed upon.
The trandeetnee of this flourish-
ing ooloey into British hands means
an addition of 70,000 ;even miles
of territory, to the extent of ;the
British Empire, end besides this are
the numerous islands in the ;.vicin-
ity, the size d which cannot be
estimated.

"Stub is the Belgian ceee. Hu-

the 'simple and sineere word which
conclude the etateanent by Belgium
of eh:es:eases winds have led to ller

burned to else ground, the fall of
Antwerp completes the sum of herr
inis;erse,s. There ie, leo be sure, an
intelligible military reason for the
capture of the great eeaport; ib be
not a piece of wanton barbarism
like the melt a Louvain. Yet, even
ers, it increases, an intolerable
wrong saps the Ledger.
Belgium had ;no part in the events
which brought on the war. On the
contrary, ehe was withheld by inter-
national agreement from the quar-
rels of the rest, of Europe. Nev.er-
theless, she hits been transformed
in two, thort months from a nation
of prosperous workere into one of
blackened fields; and ruined henses.
The ;same •of this Teets. an Germany.
IL is a shame beyond expiation.
No mere "ealumnies and unwar-
ranted attecks," as the United
Singe.re of Philidelphia assert in
resolutions published elsewhere,
could bring upon Germany the re-
pr•oach of the thole -civilised world.
No deliberated perceesioa of truth"
could leave her utterly bereft of
friends. The Belgian statement
cannot be refute.ci by mere eteniel.
There is to much correhoest,ive
evidence is support it. No question
of the violation of neutrality by Bel-
gium herself was involved. Franc
had solemnly promised to respect
it. Preeedent suggested the imam
course to Germany. Bismark, in
1870, regarded any declaration, in
view of the treatment in force, as
"quite silperfluens," The great
Chancellor was never accused of
excess, of scruple, het ±0 held
treaty to he isomething ree,re than
"a. scrap of paper." His successor
admitted the wrong done, but
pleaded military nece.ssity, and
tried to bribe Belgiuminto conniv-
ing at her own chshoner. The re-
cord. is .Eo plain that it is superfluous
to illuminate ±0 further.
Nor is their any excuse, for the
conduct ef the; war which Germany
so treacherously declared .a,gainet
Belgium. When was it a Matter of
military necessity to burn ,and loot
towns no longer held by the enemy;
to destroy works of are land splendid
memorials ,of the paet, which embus-
ies of wa;rlare had hitherto epare.d;
bo kill un,offending ,civilians; to
drive helple,ss people from their
heroes?
Was there any other motive 'than
revenge? No other is suggested
in the Belgian stetement; no ;other
is advanced even by the Germans
themselves. Indeed., the Germans
had he better confess by :silence
than by defence ; for whenever they
have -attempted to justify they have
only further prejudiced 'their case.
The remarkable proclamation
signed by German professors and
published, in ;the Berliner Tageblate
is, in effect., another ,ceefession.
"Little as we &Maw anyone to
ride us in the love ,of .are," these
exponents a Germ,an culture re-
mark, "the preservation of art i,s
not to be bought at the price ;of
Germain defeat." This: means, if
it meats Anything, that the de-
structIon f Louvain land Rheims
was a deliberate act, clone under the
stress of military necessity. Had
not a famous university and a. noble

allies might have marohe•cl straight

items of the 'highest education and
(peesuniably) enlightenment .employ
arguments like these, It.he eaus,e they
advocate must be weals incle,ed.
The whole matter is too plain to
be confused. Germany has added
brut•ality to deception in ler ;treat-
ment of Belgium. She has been able
for the limeat least ±0 work her

and England to avert, the insensate
