A Bird Home -
One day Philip Merrill and his
father went to a beautiful little place
in the country.
When they reached the station, they
walked down the road until they came
to some curious gateposts. On one
post were the words "Birdcraft Cane-
tuarY ."
Philip asked his father what "sanc-
tuary" meant, and his father said it
meant a refuge—and that here birds
could come and be sheltered and live
safe from harm, A high fence of
woven wire kept out hurtful things;
not even eats could climb over the top.
Philip's father took him inside of
the gate. There were wide paths made
through briery tangles, and there was
a little pond of water, some hills, and
plenty, of trees. In the trees were
bird houses of many kinds. There was
a cave shelter built of cornstalks,
where birds could be fed on stormy
days, and be snug and cosy. There
was.a feeding table, and a quaint
bird bath made of cement and stone
in the sanctuary; a tali, dead tree full
of places to nest was fitted with a
suet basket. There were apple trees
for robins' nests, low bushes for birds
that like to build nearer the ground,
and trees, such as birds like, were
planted, so that in time there, would
be delicious cherries and small fruits
and berries for all the feathered visit-
ors.
Philip saw bluebirds, robins, song
sparrows, and juncos. Only people
who wished to study the birds could
go inside the sanctuary, and only by
Permission.
permission. .,
Stepping -stones led to the tops of
little hills, and on one hill Philip and
his father found an open .summer-
house, where they could sit quietly
and see all that went on in the sanc-
tuary.
Near the gate was a small museum.
In the museum were stuffed birdsin
cases round the sides of the room;
but Philip forgot that they were not
live birds, for it was like looking into
the real outdoors and seeing the birds
as they live, because the backgrounds
were beautifully painted scenery and
the foregrounds were like the ground
in woods and fields. On the painted
trees, creepers clung to the bark like
live birds.
One case represented a snowy win-
ter landscape, and winter birds perch-
ed on the bare branches.
Another case showed green hills,
apple blossoms, and the spring birds.
Colored pictures of birds, with
their navies printed plainly on the
cards, were'in the centre of the room,
and helped visitors to know the names
of the birds in the cases.
When they went away, Philip's fa-
ther pointed out to him holes for nests
in the ends of the rafter posts of- the
bungalow veranda, and also the round
nest holes in the gateposts them-
selves.
On his way home Philip said that
some day he, too, would have a bird
sanctuary.—Youth's Companion.

FOE'S TRIBUTE TO CANUCKS.
Austrian 1 Correspondent Interviews
Two Canadians.
In the Vienna Arbeiter-Zeitung an
Austrian war correspondent describes
a visit to Rousselaere, where there
were two Canadians in hospital.
"I asked them, 'Why do you come
here to Belgium from Quebec and
Winnipeg?' We ask you the same
question,' was the reply. 'What have
you Germans got to do in Belgium?
We have come from Canada to chase
you out.' I liked the answer. One of
them was a young clerk, and the
other had worked in a newspaper of-
fice.' 'So there is really enthusiasm
for the war in Canada?' I queried.
'Great enthusiasm; all who join the
army do so voluntarily. From my
family three brothers have joined be-
sides myself. The whole of Canada
loves England to -day as her mother..
And the many French . inhabiting
Canada for generations help to in-
crease that enthusiasm. We took
cordial leave from one another. Leav-
ing the room I met the doctor. 'A
couple of splendid fellows?' he queri-
ed. 'A couple of splendid fellows,' I
said:
'it is

LOAF SUGAR SHORTAGE.
English Grocers Warn Customers to
Exercise Economy.
The big grocery firms in various
parts of England have sent circulars
to their customers asking them to ex-
ercise the greatest possible economy
in the use of loaf sugar, which is very
popular in England for cooking, can-
ning and similar purposes. The gro-
cers suggest the substitution of brown
sugar for most uses.
Before the war the bulk of the loaf
sugar used in England was imported
from Austria, Germany and Belgium.
This supply has been cut off, and
there is, therefore, a considerablede-
ficiency, which the few loaf -sugar re-
finers in England cannot make up.
There has been no advance in price,
however, and this is controlled by the
Royal Commission on Sugar,

LOOKING OLD TOO SOON
The Condition of Too Many Wo,

Toe' many women and too many
girls look old long before they should.
Their faces become pale and drawn;
wrinkles appear and their eyes lack
brightness. Can this be wondered at
when they so frequently have head-
aches,tgeneral e

and itis a fact that anaemia (blood-
lessness) more', thanany other cause,
gives women this : prematurely aged
appearance. It is important that the
blood supply of girls and women be
regularly replenished—important not
only on the score of looks, but to
restore robust' health, which is of
greater value, Dr, Williams' Fink
Pills actually make new blood and
restore the system shattered by over-
work or worry. These pills give a
glow of health to pale faces and hake
tired, weary women and girls feel
bright and happy. With Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills at hand there is no need for
any woman or any girl to look ill or
feel ill. Mrs. J. McDonald, jr., Hay,
Ont., says: "I honestly believe, Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills saved my life.
Some years ago I had anaemia, and
as I did not realize the seriousness of
the trouble I soon became a complete
wreck. I got so weak I could hardly
walk. I neither ate nor slept well,
and could not go upstairs without-
stopping
ithoutstopping to rest. At times I had an
almost unbearable pain in my back
and would have to remain in bed. I
suffered almost constantly from a dull
headache, and when sweeping if I
would stoop to pick up anything I
would get so' dizzy that I would have
to catch hold of something to keep
from falling. At times my heart
would beat so fast that I would have
a smothering sensation. My eyes
were sunken and my hands and limbs
would be swollen in the mornings. I
tried several kinds of medicine with-
out benefit and my friends thought I
would not recover. Then I began tak-
ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and be-
fore long could see and feel that they
were helping me. I gladly continued
the use of the pills until I was com-
pletely cured and I cannot say enough
in their praise, and I strongly recom-
mend them to all run-down girls and
women."
You can get Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills from any dealer in medicines or

ANOTHER EFFECT 01? WAR.

IIA'i"I'LE IN FLANDERS,

England,
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, writing in
the Current issue of Colliers', tells
how the rear of the Rune in Flsnders
is heard at his home, The author
lives near the summit of Crowbor-
ough Beacon, in northern Sussex,
England, He writes;

that sound breaking in upon the peace
of this sweet summer morning! It is
very faint a l•verY far,
,and
yet
with
a deep throb in it which tells of infi-
nite power, There it is again rising
a little and then falling, like a thun-
derous surge upon a distant beach.
There is no doubt at all about the
&ound. It is.that of• the guns in Flan-
ders, It is 120 miles as the crow
flies, and it might well have appeared
incredible; but you have also to re-
member that we are 700 feet high and
that there is a very steady easterly
wind. Some miracle has put' those air
currents just right, and we do actual-
ly hear the guns of the great long -
drawn battle. For a week now, ever
since the wind has been in that quar-
ter, we have heard it. All this sec-
tion of Sussex is talking of it.
"It brings it all very close, and
when we volunteers must muster of
an evening for our drill it help, to
give actuality to the eternal 'Upon
the left form line of platoons!' or
'Wheel to the right by sections!'
when we hear the far-off roar of the
whirlpool which has drawn in so
much, and may yet draw in ourselves
if we should be thought worthy. One
can spring to attention with a sharper
snap when the guns of Flanders are
pulsing in one's ears."
PRINCE OF WALES' ESCAPE.
Automobile Which He Had Just Left
Wrecked by a Shell.
An officer attached to the British
staff says that the Prince of Wales
had a miraculous escape from death
during the battle of Loos.
Strictly accurate details are that
the Prince was speeding towards the
Front in an automobile. He ordered
the driver to pull up at the foot of 'a
knoll which the Prince mounted and
watched the progress of the fighting
through his binoculars..
While he was standing on the hill a
big shell fell on the automobile, utter-
ly destroying the car and blowing the
driver to pieces.
Reproached with running into dan-
ger, which the heir to the throne must
avoid, the Prince replied "Well, I
have plenty of brothers."
Corns Instant
Both in the number of births and
the marriages in Berlin, Germany;
the effect of the war is slowly but
surely being indicated. The former,
during July of this year, dropped off
by 25 per cent„ and the latter in
August showed an even more marked
decrease.
The
number of births in the entire
city for July was but 2415, as against
3224 in July, 1914. This falling off
has gradually been increasing, as far
as percentage is concerned. Though
figures for August are not yet avail-
able, it is believed that an even great-
er decrease will be found.
The big residential suburb of Wil-
mersdorf, oneof the largest in Berlin,
gives a line on the ever -decreasing
marriages in the city. In all of
August, 1915, only 62 weddings took
place in Wilmersdorf, as against 264
one year ago. Many of the latter, it
is true, were so-called "war wed-
dings," marriages performed ahead of
schedule time in order that the men
could go to war, but in 1913, a normal
year, 78 weddings took place.

FLAME PROJECTOR CAPTURED.
German Device Propels Stream of
Liquid Fire.
One of 'the liquid flame projectors,
by means of which the Germans took
on July 30 the positions at Hooge,
from which they were driven on Aug-
ust 9, has been captured. It resem-
bles a metal packin shape and is car-
ried on the back. The inflammable
liquid, some kind of coal tar prepara-
under pressure in the
is kept p s

tank, and its flow is regulated by
means of a tap and a pressure gauge
on a length of tubing.
In the nozzle of the tube is a wick,
which, when the flame projector is
ready for use, is ignited by some
chemical producing a fierceflame
which ignites the liquid as it passes
out in a stream. Thus the liquid is -
apes from the nozzle in a broad
stream of flame.

COST OP LIVING DOUBLED.

Half an Hour After a Meal. One Is
Hungry Again in Austria.
Three young women, named Hirst,
have arrived at Skelmanthorpe, near
Huddersfield, England, from Reichen-
berg, Austria, where still remain their
father and mother, one sister, and
two brothers. Their father, a plush
finisher, emigrated from Huddersfield
fifteen years ago.
Their reason for returning to Eng-
land is that they were unable to ob-
tain work except in the ammunition
factories. The cost of living, they
say, has gone up 100 per cent., and
their father was unable to suport the
whole family. No obstacle was placed
in their way when they requested to
be allowed to return to England, and
the United States Consul advanced
them the necessary money.
They were detained ten days at
Vienna while inquiries were being
made and passports secured. The
Austrian capital appeared as before
the war, but the dancing halls were
closed.
Regarding the food in Austria the
young women stated in an interview
that the bread, obtained on the ticket
system as in Germany, is made chief-
ly from Maize flour, r,
so that
it resem-
bles
yellow sponge cake. "Half an
hour after a meal one is hungry
again." In Austria people are told
that food in England is at famine
prices, that England desires peace,
and that the British, public is terror -
zed by Zeppelins.
Much was made in Austria mat
Christmas of the east coast bombard-
ment, and the Misses Furst were
amazed to learn that Scarborough is
much as usual. It was freely said
that England had scarcely any army
at all, and the idea of raising new
armies was ' much ridiculed. Lord
Kitchener, it was stated, was making
himself the laughing stock of Europe
with his army of criminals, convicts,
and tramps, men who had not done
any work for years because no one
would employ them.
So, much concerned were the Misses
Hirst about the new British army that
when they reached Paris they ran up
to the first man they saw in khaki
to have a good look at him. "He was
not a trnnrl," said one of the young
women, "but a Colonial who was much
amused whelp told of the reason for
the curious eyes We turned upon him."

scription "Gott strafe England,"
BRITAIN'S MAIN OBJECTS.
Recruiting, War Loan Subscriptions,
and "Thrift."
How many million of dollars the
British Government has spent in ad-
vertising during the first year of the
War no expert accountant has yet had'
the facilities to estimate. It is a safe
statement to make, however, that no
nation ever spent one-tenth as much
on printers' inkin the same period.
Kitchener's army has been raised
chiefly by advertising. Full-page,
half -page and smaller advertisements
in the papers are almost daily occur-
rences. The bill -boards have been
covered with the greatest variety of
posters any advertiser ever had paint-
ed. A collection of these would re-
veal every play of ingenius appeal ad-
vertising experts are capable of in-
venting, The signs on trams, buses,
and private motor cars increase ra-
ther than decrease as the war con-
tinues. There are appeals for re-
cruits in prose and verse„ in cartoon
and suggestive picturing—all dressed
as attractively as colored inks and
trained advertising men can make
them.
The recent big war loan, the largest
in the history of governmental bor-
rowings, was the occasion of another
tremendous advertising campaign.
Even the big advertisers who have
contracts for the outside pages of the
dailies were pushed into the inside, so
John Bull could ask Britons to pour
their savings into the nation's tills.
If the public had not become accus-
tomed to Great Britain as a big ad-
vertiser because of the proportions of
the army recruiting crusade, the di-
mensions of this campaign of adver-
tising for money would have seemed
startling, for in itself it was altoge-
ther without precedent among nations
befire this war.
Now there are signs of a third big
advertising movement by Great Bri-
tain .in its "thrift campaign." Al-
ready the posters are urging people to
eat less meat, to eat more vegetables,
to insist that each loaf of bread weigh
two pounds, to report any dealer try-
ing to sell a smaller loaf, and giving
similar advice as to economical house-
keeping.
MOTHER'S "NOTIONS"
Good for Young People to Follow.
"My little grandson often comes up
to show me how large the muscles of
his arms are.
"He was a delicate child, but has
developed into a strong, healthy boy,
and Postum has been the principal
factor.
"I was induced to give him the Pos-
tum because of my own experience
with it.
"I am sixty years old, and have
been a victim of nervous dyspepsia
for many years. Have tried an sorts
of medicines and had treatment from
many physicians, but no permanent
relief came.
"I used to read the Postum adver-
tisements in our paper. At first I
gave but little attention to them, but
finally something in one of the adver-
tisements made me conclude to try
Postum.
"I was very particular to have it
prepared strictly accordingto direc-
tions, and used good, rich cream. It
was very nice indeed, and about bed-
time I said to the members of the
family that I believed I felt better.
One of them laughed and said, 'That's
another of mother's notions,' but the
notion has not left me yet, •
"I continued to improve right along
after 'leaving off tea and coffee and
taking Postum, and now after three
years' use I feel so well that I am
almost young again. I know Postum
was the cause of the change in my
health and I cannot say too much in
its favor. I wish I could persuade all
nervous people to use it."

British School Children Write Essays
on the War.
The interest of children in the war
at different ages was the subject of a
paper in the psychological section of
the British Association recently by
Dr. C. Kimmins, of Southwark, who

different ages in regard to the war es-
says were written by all the children
in 10 senior departments, five boys
and five girls, of elementary schools,
says the London Chronicle, No pre-
paration was allowed, and no notice
given, The children were told to write
as much as they could about the war
in 15 minutes. In all 3081 papers
were written, 1,511 boys, 1,570 girls.
A. little girl, aged 11, wrote:
The origin of the war was this:
That when the German Emperor was
at Windsor he insulted Queen Vie-
toria, and so King Edward smacked
him round the face. The German
Emperor said: 'I'll- be avenged,' and
hence' the war."
A boy of 12 wrote: "The advantage
of the war is that the men have learn-
ed to knit"; and another boy wrote:
"The main disadvantage of war is
that girls must remain old maids be-
cause there will not be any men left."

TRE AFTERMATH OF BLOOM.
Red Poppy Crop on Battlefields of
France.
There is a ,brisk discussion in
France between the scientific people
and the sentimental, tradition -loving
peasants. .It has been noticed that
all the battlefields of northern France
where blood was shed last year are
a -wave with. fed Poppies, which grow.
everywhere and border all the roads.
The peasants see in it the aftermath
of the blood shed in the fights of last
autumn.
Scientific men point out that it is
merely the natural result of the fields
being thrown out of cultivation. But
at least the peasants have tradition
on their side. The dreadful battle of.
Landed in 1698, when the victorious
French and the defeated allies left on
the field between them acme twenty
thousand dead, produced a similar
phenomenon.
Lord Perth, writing to his sister in
the following summer, described the
'appearance of the field in words which
gave Macaulay an opportunity for a
characteristic flight. "During many
months the ground was strewn with
skulls and bones of horses and men.
The next summer the soil,
fertilized by twenty thousand corpses,
broke forth into millions of poppies.
The traveller who on the road from
Sant Tron to Tirlemont saw that vast
sheet of scarlet spreading from Lan -
den to Neerwinden could hardly help
fancying that the figurative prediction
of the Hebrew prophet was literally
accomplished and that the earth was
disclosing her blood and refusing to
cover the slain."

As Good as New. •
One clay a man exhibited a hand-

"It's wonderful how I make things
last," he exclaimed. "Look at this
umbrella, now. I bought it eleven
years ago. Since then I have recov-

in 1910, and last month I exchanged
for a new one in a restaurant. And
here it is—as good as new."
IT'S A GOD -SEND
TO HUMANITY
is what a leading physician says of
Dr. Jackson's Roman Meal. Properly
cooked into porridge according to
directions on package, without stir-
ring after first making, it is a delight
to humanity. Use a double boiler or
set boiler in basin of boiling water
and use one cup meal to two cups
water. Cook for half an hour. It's
very nutritious, prevents indigestion
and relieves constipation or "money
back." Ask your doctor. At grocers',

A man charged with stealing a
horse applied for legal aid at the Old
Bailey, London, England. The Re-
corder said the defence was that the
man did not steal the horse; it fol-

said the man, The Recorder said he
was afraid counsel could not persuade
a jury that such a story was true. He
refused legal aid, and told the man
that he could "try ,the story"
