Peter..
One day Uncle Robert eame'to see.
us with a big, bulgy pascal under
his area all pointe sad corners, And
when we danced round him asking
what .it was, he just laughed and
said, "'Guess 1"
I gueesed a work-btsket for
mo-
ther, Betty a dolls eazrheg , and
baby asked if it• were a '"kssmas
plum pudding i" Dicky was the
only one who guessed a cage.
"Right!" said Uncle Robert,
"And as you've guessed, my boy,
you shall unpack."
We all stood round and watched
as Dicky undid the .string, and
Uncle Robert wouldn't let him cut
a single- knot: But at lust all the
paper was off, and out came a most
beautiful cage—all green and gold
and pale blue glass. And inside,
sitting jauntil' on his perch, was
the sweetest little canary bird you
ever saw I. His little head was cock-
ed on one aide, and he looked grave-
ly at us, as much as to say, "You
have kept me in the dark a long
time I"
"Now, Peter," said Uncle, "come
out and be introduced I" He unfas-
tened the little door of the cage,
and Peter flew out on his finger.
We hardly breathed for fear we
should ,frighten him.
"Now, baby," said Uncle, "come
and stroke his head."
Baby put. her little finger very
carefully on Peter's little yellow
head, and he sat quite still andgave
several little tweets.
Then Uncle gave his finger a jerk
upwards, and Peber flew off and
perched on the curtain rod. And
when Uncle whistled the dear little
bird came back at once.
"Now, Peter, home I" and Uncle
whistled softly and rattled the door
of tkyo cage.
Peter hesitated a moment. But
when Uncle whistled a second time
he darted straight into his cage,
and we clapped our hands eo loudly
that Peter looked frightened.
"Get me alump of sugar," said
Undo.
I fetched Min a piece, and putting
it on the top of his head he gave a
gentle call. Peter 'was having a
drink at the time, but directly he
heard the whistle he looked up and
flew out on to Unele's head. And
there he sat quite happily pecking
away at the sugar.
When Uncle had gone Peter was
very sad for a day or two until he
got used to our voices. Then he
cheered up and became quite
friendly. And one morning, when
we had turned Puss out of the room
and abut the window, we opened
the door of his cage, and Peter flew
out on to my finger.
Puss gave us a lot of trouble. We
couldn't get her to understand that
she was not to frighten Peter, al-
though we scolded her severely each
time we found her anywhere near
the cage.
One morning I came down -stairs
rather early, meaning to clean out
Peter's cage before breakfast. But
in the doorway I stopped'in fright,
fur the little curtain that we put
over the cage at night was lying on
the floor, the door of the cage was
open, and Peter was nowhere to
ho seen.
I ran up -stairs and fetched the
others. and we all began to search.
We looked in every possible place
under the chairs and tables, behind
the pictures, even in the 'drawers
and cupboards in case by any
chance Peter should have got shut
inside,
Sud'denl'y Betty, who had been
out of the room, came running in.
"`Puss did it l" she cried. "I
know she did. I met her in the
kitohen'just now, and she looked so
guilty, and when she eau me she
just slinked away."
"But however did .s'he get in 7" I
cried. "I know she wasn't here last
night, for after I had .shut up the
schoolroom I saw her asleep in her
basket,"
It was a mystery no one could
solve, so we sat down to breakfast.
But no one felt inclined to eat. Sud-
denly, just as we had finished, we
heard the fluttering of little wings.
Then a familiar "tweet, tweet."
And next moment our dear Peter
flew on to the table, looking very
ruffled and frightened, but other-
wise unharmed.
We Were glad to see him, and
nearly smothered him with kisses,
When we had put him brook in his
cage and he was enjoying his break-
fast I went to the window. It was
o few inches open at the bottom
"It must have -.been open all
might I" I cried. Puss must have
crept in from the garden and climb-
ed up the curtains to the cage, and
when she got the door open Peter
roust have flown out. I suppose
when he sang us this morning he
thought it' would be safe to come
back,"
' That was all we ever knew about
Peter's adventnee, But we gave
puss a thoroughly good scolding,
And new we aro always very care-
ful to see the window is shut before
we go to bed.
Tl MW& LA GRIPPE

Debilitate( ane au EasyViotim
to Other Diseases
One of the foremost hnedkine
writers sizy.e: "It is astonishing the
number of people who have been
crippled in health for years after an
attaek of la gripes or influenza.
me real danger from this disease,
whiclh sweeps over Canada every
winter, is during convalescence,
when the characteristic symptoms;
the fever, the catarrh, the head-
ache and the depression of spirits
ease away. Grip leaves behind it
weakened vital powers, Wm blood,
impaired digestion and ' over-een-
sitive nerves a condition that
makes the 'system on easy prey to
pneumonia, bronchitis, rheumatism,
nervous prostration, and even con-
sumhption. It is a condition that
owns most emphatically for a tank
for the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills are a tonic especially adapted
to meet this need as they purify
and enrich the bided. They tone up
the nerves and give vigor, strength
and health to the debilitated
system. Mrs. Howard D. Ohaffey,
Indian Island, N.B., says i "For
several winters in ,succession I WAS
attacked by la grippe which left me
weak and badly run down. In each
case I used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
with the most beneficial results.
Lash winter when the trouble was
again prevalent I took the pre-
caution of fortifying my systems
with Dr, WilliamsPink Pills and
esnutped the trouble, while many of
my neighbors were down with it. In
fact I enjoyed the best of health all
spring and feel cure this medicine
will so fortify the system as to pre-
vent the trouble."
These Pills are sold by all med-
icine dealers or may be had by mail
at 50 cents a box or six boxes for
$5.50 from The Dr. Williarne' Med-
icine Co., Brockville, Ont.

breaking off the blocks ca.n be
made similar to a crowbar, with a
sharp blade from six to eight inches
wide. An ice saw may be impro-
vised by removing one handle of a
crosscut saw. A number of pike
poles, iee tongs and a chain, with
heavy pair of ice tongs attached,
complete the tools required. A
platform, one end of which may be
let down into the water, and the
other end raised level with the
floor of the sleigh, permits the use
of a horse in taking the ice out of
the water and loading on the sleigh.
The ice'should be pecked as solid-

should also be well covered and pro-

AIREDALE THE BEST DOG.
eie
For Military Purpose the Airedale
Beats Alt Others.
The finest military dog is the Aire-
dale, in the opinion of Major E. H.
Richardson, a bre.ed.er of war dogs,
who. was in charge of a pack of
bloodhounds with the Belgian army
until they were )asst in the disaster
at Mons.
He says the Airedale cam stand
any clmate, is second to none in
faithfulness and intelligence, has
powers of hearing and scent re-
markably acute, and is the right
size, whether used on sentry duty,
scouting, searching for the wounded
or as a messenger or ammunition
carrier:
"He can hear 300 yards farther
than a man and knows friend from
foe by their smell," says Major
Richardson. "A man's smell de-
pends on what he eats, so a dog can
tell the difference between English,
French and Germans even when
dressed in the same kind of
clothes."
An of ser wrote to the, major in
regard to ore of his dogs:
• "Don was blown twenty yards by
a bursting shell. He was not hit,
only seared. He declined to face
the music any more, until after a
lot of coaxing, when he went back
on night duty, watching and listen-
ing in the trenohes with the intent-
ness of the most seasoned sentry,
aided farther by a sense of sight
and smell 'that was almost un-
canny."

An. Eastern woman who is a fond

about her experience feeding her
boys.
Among other things, she says:
""Ilhree chubby, rosy -checked boys,
Bob, Jack and Dick, respectively,
are three of our reasons; for using
and recommending the food, Grape -
Nuts, for these youngsters have
been fed on Grap.e.Nuts since in-
fancy, and often between meals
when other children would have
been given candy,
"I gave a package of Grape -Nuts
to a neighbor whose 3 -year-old child
was a weazened little tiling, ill half
the time, The little tot ate the
Grape -Nuts and cream greedily and
the mother continued the good
work, and it was not long before a
truly wonderful change manifested
itself in the obild's foto and body.
The results were remarkable, even
for Grape -Nuts.
"Both husband and I use Grape -
Nuts every day and keep strong and
well and have three of the finest,
healthiest boys you can find in a
day's march."
Many mothers instead of destroy-
ing the children's stomachs with
candy and cake give the youngsters
a handful of Grape -Nut's when they
are begging for something lit the

shown in greatly increased health,

A MOTHER'S ANXIETY
Most mothers are anxious when
their little ones are teething, for at
this time the baby's stomach gets
disordered and there is a grave
danger of convulsions. This anxiety
can be lessened, 'however'
if the
mother keeps a supply of 'Baby's
Own Tablets in the house and gives
am occasional dose to her teething
baby. The Tablets are the very
best medicine in the world during
the teething time. They regulate
the bowels, sweeten the stomach,
promote healthful sleep and snake
teething painless. They are sold by
medicine dealers or by mail at 25
cents a box from The Dr. Williams'

POTASH AND WOOD ASHES.
Some Valuable Products for Land
Improvement.
With the supply of potash from
bhe German mines shut off by war
conditions, Canada should now give
attention to.tbe large quantity of
this fertilizing agent which is allow-
ed to go to waste through want of
care and conservation of the annual
production of wood ashes.
Throughout a large part of Can-
ada the chief fuel at aneseasons, but
more especially in winter, is wood.
In the eastern provinees, hardwoods
are chiefly used. These woods, es-
pecially beech and maple, are rich
in potash, varying from 5 to 13 per
cent„ according to conditions of
dryness of the wood and care of the
ashes. Other valuable ingredients
of wood ashes are a small propor-
tion of phosphoric acid and about
fifty per cent. of carbonate of lime.
In the clearing of wood lots and
in the burning of debris alter tak-
ing out the fuel supply, large
amounts of ashes are produced.
These, as a rule, are left where the
burning is done, and are cone
quently wasted.
Wood ashes should be carefully
stored in fire -proof receptacles if
possible; in any event away from
any danger of fire, and ;ah•oeld be
kept dry to avoid leaching. In the
spriatg they should be spread upon
the land. They are especially valu-
able as a fertilizer and to emcoturage
the growth of clover and the better
grasses.
Wood ashes, by hastening the de-
cay of organic matter in soils, ren-
der more readily available the nitro-
gen contained therein. In sandy
soil, wood ashes supply the phos-
phoric grad and .lime in which these
soils are deficient, while, on clay
lands, the lime eont+ent of the ashes
tends to render available the pot-
ash ealts alreadty present in abun-
dance. Potash as supplied to the
land through the medium of wood
ashes has a distinct advantage over
the potash salts imported from Ger-
many, in that it is in a very solu-
ble forms, and hence is at once
available for plant food.
'ilhe intsporeamee of wood ashes, as
shovel above, as a fertilizer can
hardly be over-estimated. It is.
consequently of first interest to the
agriculturists and lumber interests
of Canada to conserve the supply
wherever .and by what process pro-
duced,
During the present winter large
undertakings in land clearing and
right-of-way clearing of railway
limes will be in progress from the
burning of the debris of which large
amounts of ashes will accumulate.
Some steps should be ,taken to pro-

"For many years I suffered from
kidney disease," Mr. Tapp says,
"It started from a cold, and gradu-
ally grew worse. My skin had a
harsh, dry feeling, my *appetite was
fitful and I perspired freely with the
slightest exertion. I had flashes of
light before my eyes and I was al-
ways tired and nervous,
"Finally rheumatism was added
to my troubles, while attacks of
sciabielt and neuralgia followed. The
doctor who attended me and the
medicines I, tried, failed to help me
till I decided to use Dodd's Kidney

Who Suffer Their Bereavement with
Splendid Fortitude.
There is a road in Gillingham,
England, whaeh deserves to be
called the Street of Sorrows.
There are 139 houses in it—two
monotonous rows of small, plain
houses along lees than a quarter -
mile of drab street, with only its
name, Chaucer Road, to distinguish
it in ;peace from a score of others in
this unlovely neighborhood.
Now it has a sad diistinction. The
war has made sixty women widows
in that street. Sixty widows in 139
houses. It is a poignant example
of how Chatham and the district
near; including Rochester, Strood,
Gillingham and Rainham., have suf-
fered by the naval losses since Au-
gust. •
The Formidable is the ninth boat
manned by men of the Chatham
division that has been lost. The
others are the Aboukir, Hogue,
Cressy, Hermes, Pathfinder,
Speedy, Hawke and Rohilla.
The Mayor of Chatham, Alder-
man Payne, stated that there were
over 500 families bereaved in the
district. "The splendid fortitude
of the women," he said, "is an in-
spiraeion to us- all."
The Mysterious Thyroid.
The thyroid gland, which is situ-
ated about the lower part of the
throat, is still a medical mystery.
Practically nothing. is known as to
its uses, and very little about the
causes of disease in it. Goitre is a
non-malignant enlargement of the
thyroid gland. The .swelling may be
no more than a mere thickening, or
it may grow into. a mass weighing
several pounds. It is common in
mountainous districts .and where
there is magnesian limestone in the
soil and drinking water. Operation
may be necessary, but goitre will
usually yield to treatment; and is
rarely fatal. Malignant disease of
the thyroid gland is often associat-
ed with overstrain or sudden shock.
Here operation is generally neces-
sary, and is a very serious matter
indeed. In some mysterious way,re-
moval of the thyroid gland affects
the mental powers, and the unfor-
tunate person who has his thyroid
removed is in great danger of los-
ing his wits, more particularly his
memory. '

GERMANY BEST IN LONG WAR.

The London Daily Chronicle
prints an article by Count Revent-
low, in which he says:
"We know in Germany that not
only can we last out a long war, but
also that we can last out a long war
better than our enemies—political-
ly, militarilx, and economically. Ws
know the longer the war lasts, so
much better will be our world
standing.
Because of that the entire Ger-
man people enter upon the new
year full of courage and confident
of ultimate victory. From Kaiser to
working man, all Germans know the
struggle can last a long time yet,
but likewise"they all know .the Ger-
man people ultimately will win. Do-

peared and all Germans stand to-
