If a room becomes filled with
smoke a towel dashed in vinegar
and hat water atn•d wrung out, then
taken and thrown above oue's head
through the room, will remove all
smoke in a few moments. Only a
small portion of vinegar in a little
water is sufficient for the purpose.
Place a •bowl of butter into a
larger basin containing sufficient
salted water to reach nearly to top
of the butter bowl. Cover with a
piece of fine white muslin, allowing
the ends to reach the water, which
keeps the muslin. damp. ,By doing
this butter can be kept firm and

The virtues of bicarbonate of
soda as a deoderant are known and
appreciated by very few—most' of
them nurses and physicians. What
woman will not be glad to learn,
fur instance, that it is a perfect
neutralizer of perspiration odors?
There are many expensive powders
put up fur this purpose, and some
of them are effective, but plain so-
dium bicarbonate at 5 cents a whole
lot, is quite as good as the best of
them. It niay be rubbed on the
shields, or through the armholes of
a white shirtwaist and be relied
upon to neutralize any- odor, The
armpits may also be hayed. with a
solution of it before dr'es'sing, The
most fastidious of women; who have
found constant bathing ineffeetiye
for this affliction, will find this
simple precaution a great boon.

IM.omwe to the Warring

1n these days of automobiles lit s
not ,generally realized that horse
raising is still a profitable industry
as well as an important fatter in
oversea commerce. It ie estimated,
that more than 120,000 horses have
been shipped' to -Europe since the
beginning of the -war, destined for
use in the field, and the shipments
are ,steadily increasing,
The horses are used for the most
part in the cavalry and artillery
services, A Bingle bran us nowcom
pie•ting a .shipment of 25,000 horses,
which will reach Europe by way of
Italy, from where they wild be for-
warded as quickly as possible to
the armies of the Allies at the front.
The hones purchased by the Eu-
ropean armies are as a rule short
legged, •shaggy animals capable of
great endurance. Probably 40 per
cent. of the horses sent abroad for
army eery/4e have not been broken
to the halter, Smell horses are of
little value for !breeding purposes
and as for as the improvement of
horseflesh in general is eoncerued
the country is weal rid of them,
The entire country is being ran-
sacked to meet the European de-
mand. A large proportion of true
horse smply is gathered from the
Western plains. The great, ranges
and the markets where the horses
are gathered for sale are pictur-
esque surroundings of the. wild
Western life, which is now rapidly
passing,
Tcolleetion of this army of
horses for Europe suggests a great
wild west show on an. iinmense.
scale. 'Thousands of cowboys are
required for the work and enact
daring riding and driving must be
done before the tens of thousands 01
horses are rounded up on the
ranges and finally entrained for the
East.
The largest of the horse markets,
whieh is located at Miles City,
Mon., has supplied thousands of the
horses and will continue to ship
them. No wild west ,show in the
East can rival in interest this great
horse market. Months are requir-
ed to round up the horses for a sin-
gle sale, when thousands of horses
will be displayed and disposed of in
a few hours. At one of these horse
auctions more than 10,000 horses
were sold in less than three days:
Dhe horses are driven in or ship-
ped from the surrounding country
for weeks in advance. They are for
the most part green horses, only a
small percentage having felt the
bridle. On arriving at the market
they are driven into a 'series' of
pens, each enclosure holding from
thirty to fifty animals. The pens
are enclosed by high board fences
of very strong construction. Up-
ward of a hundred cowboys are em-
ployed in the market alone ;n
rounding up the animals, driving
them from one enclosure to another
and displaying their for sale.
The horses are auctioned off in a
large arena. The purchasers are
seated in a covered stand at one
side or perched along the fences,
The buyers include some of the most
expert judges of horseflesh in the
world. The principal horse dealing
firms are represented, together with
buyers for the European armies.
The sale proceeds very rapidly and
often several thousand horses will
he put through their paces before
the purchasers and disposed of in a
single hoer.
A herd of perhaps forty horses
will he driven from an enoloeure
along the high boarded runways.

their paces. They are -driven
around time eaelosure ,before the
.grandstand two or three times and,
then (bidding is coanmcnoed.
It is nsia]ly necessary to shoat
the prices at the top of their voices
in order to be heard ,above the con-
fusion of pounding hoofs, The aim-
tioneer announces the good points
of the horses on sale. The auction
is frequently interrupted by a'
fight among the horses or a desper-
ate attempt of one of the horses to
climb the enolosure.
At few minutes at most suffices to

ure, and so Ike animated sale goes

Long trains of car's run .among
the horse peva and the work of
loading horses goes rapidly for-
ward,
TGe Kaiser's Train.
The most luxurious train in Eu-
rope, a veritalble palace on wheels,
says a contr'i'butor -to Tit -Bits, is
that which the Kaiser uses when he
travels between Berlin and the
righting line.
Six coaches, each weighing over
sixty tone, compose the special
train, and of these, four are reserv-
ed for the Emperor and his suite,
and the other two, are used for
kitchens. The second coach in the
train is the one reserved by the
Kaiser for his personal quarters,
and it contains a salon, bedroom,
dressing rooms, bathroom, and
sleeping apartmen#s for bis body-
guard. The salon is paneled in tea
wood of an ancient cedar tree talc -
en from Mount Lebanon, the gift
of ex -Sultan Abdul Hamid of Tur-
key. The Actor is of black wood
taken from the piles of a wooden
bridge built across the Rhine by
Julius Caesar in the year 55 B.C.,
and the ceiling is decorated with a
design representing the six great
rivers of Germany.
The windows of the salon are pro-
tected by thick steel bars, .and
armed sentries stand at the doors
of the apartment night and day.
The last coach in the train is used
by an engineer, who has charge of
the machinery that operates a com-
plicated system of emergency
brakes. The Kaiser's two dach-
slninds, Ward- and Heel. have theirkennels on the train, and they gen-
erally accompany their master on
his travels.
The Lightest Wood.
According to the ,Seientibe Amer -
inn, the lightest wood in existence
is the wood of ambach, a legumi-
nous plant that growys near Lake
Chad and on the tributaries of the
upper Nile. The tree,, which is
sometimes called the pith tree, of-
ten attains a diameter of six inches
in the two or three years of its
life. At that age it diets, and an-
other shoot Starts from. its roots.
When cut, the wood is almo•at
white, and is soft and brittle, like
the pith of the elder. Some of dna
wood is exported to the United
States and England to make floats
for fishing tackle, and in general to
be used as a substitute for cork:
Ambach wood containeminute crys-
tals of calcium, oxalate, which
quickly dull the axes and knives of
the choppers. On the other hand,
the presence of the crystals makes
the wood, it is said, an excellent'
substitute for time usual razor strop,

war has been a source of pride as
well as: kean Intend to motorists
everywhere. The Bxitieh army,
from top to bottom, has been mo-
torized as much as possible and
even the Canadian contingents are
provided with eoneid'ermble auto-
mobile equipment.
The motorization of the Canadian
army division is at prominent fea-
ture of the development of the over-
seas' forces, Three motor machine
gun batteries have been, or are
being provided for the Canadian
fighters 10 the Bitten, Borden and
Eaton battery units and the Cana-
dian Army Service Corps also have
a great many gasoline -driven velri-
clos, which are used in a less spec-
tacular, yet highly important,
duty—namely the transporting of
supplies of food, ammunition and
clothing to those in the front lines.
Further, the Red Cross Society Inas
found the motor ambulance indis-
pensable. To date, no fewer than
twenty-eight motor ambulances
have been donated for army medi-•
cal purposes by the people of
Canada. It is almost impossible to
estimate the value of these gifts in
the humanitarian work which they
are doing.
Training On the Road..
An interesting part of the train-
ing of the motor department of the
C.A, S. C., now in practice at the
Exhibition Military .Camp, is the
holding of extensive route tours by
motor oar for the purpose of giving
the members of the Service Corps a
certain amount of experience in
road work. Many motor d'ehioles,
nearly all of which are large trucks,
are used in the trips which occupy
a period of one to four days. The
officers of the corps travel at the
head of the flying column in tour-
ing. cars and the privates ride in
the trucks, five to a truck.
A unique feature is that the col
