Doctors, Nurses, Motorists, Mechan- ics, Interpreters, Telegraphers, etc. That the British Expeditionary Force has attached to it almost enough civilians to .make quite a re- saectable army in itself may surprise people who remember the attitude of the War Office towards newspaper correspondents and other non-comba- tants. It 'is . a -fact, however, that the services of a large number of civi- lians are utilized in various capaci- ties at the front.' The object in em- ploying them is to avoid diminishing the fighting capacity of the troops engaged, the theory adopted being that a -soldier should only be employ- ed as a- soldier, and that all other'ne- cessary work 'should be left to civi- Iians.. . This civilian force, however, con= sists mostly of French, although there are a certain number of British civil- ians doing duty with the British Army in France just now. The Ma- jority of these are members of the Royal Automobile Club, who are driv- ing the cars which they have gener- ously placed at the disposal of the staff. Other British civilians accom- panying the forces are the doctors, surgeons, and nurses who are assist- ing military medical officers in the of. invitations to people all over Paris to'a big dinner at M.

One of the new branches of Kitchen- er's army in training now in a camp south of London is an Irish army, commanded by an Irish general. This is the first time in British history that such a force has been assembled. There have always been Irish troops in the British army,•and .sometimes they have even been in the majority, but hitherto the largest purely Irish unit has been theregiment. This is the first time that an entire division of Irish troops has been made up. The "Irish Division," as it is techni- cally known, received its first train- ing on the soil of its native isle, and has only recently been brought to England. Soon after its arrival it was inspected by the King and Lord Kitchener, and the latter set his seal of approval by declaring it "one of the finest divisions in•the new army." e• - The Substitute for Vodka.

A model dairy farm for the pur- poses of demonstrating rotation and the value of alfalfa and corn for en- silage will be one of the features of the Ontario Government dairy ex- hibit at the National Exhibition, To- ronto. Mr. Geo. A. Putnam plans to locate the model farm in -the south- west wing of the building and nearby will be another innovation, an exhibit showing the value of concentrated foods. He expects to have an unusually large and representative showing of. Ontario dairy products and intends making the exhibit as practical and instructive as possible. In this work - he will have the assistance of several Government officials, who will be en- gaged in making a number of demon- strations, including the sediment test, cow testing, care and testing of milk and cream. The Niagara Fall of milk will again be a feature, ,the flow showing the production of milk in the Province, and the proportions into which the total is divided for cheese and but- ter -making, city consumption, etc. It has again been decided to dis- tribute samples of Cheddar cheese and to demonstrate in a practical way the relative food value of dairy pro- ducts. The great success of the Quebec contingentin the butter section a year ago has stimulated the spirit of emulation among the people of the adjoining province and this year there has been a large increase in the num- ber of requests for entry forms from the dairy schools all over Quebec.'. --lr_ , Minard'e rr,,lment Cures Garret in.
