What British Are Allowing for De- pendents of Soldiers. One- million dollars a day. That is what the British Government is.now paying out to the wives and other dependents of soldiers serving in the army. One million dollars a clay or $365,- 000,000 a year, paid out exclusively to the families at home of soldiers fighting at the front. And this amount is entirely independent of the regular pay allotted to the soldier himself, the cost of his equipment and all the other expenses incidental to hs support. Enormous as it is, this ambunt represents merely a fraction of what the British Government is actually doing for those• who have joined the colors. SAVE THE CHILDREN. • Mothers who keep a box of Baby's Own Tablets in the house may feel that the lives of their little ones are reasonably safe during the hot weath- er. Stomach troubles, cholera infan- tum and diarrhoea carry off thous- ands of little ones every summer, in most cases because the mother does not have a safe medicine at hand to give promptly. Baby's Own Tablets cure these troubles, or if given occa- sionally to the well child will prevent their corning on. The Tablets are guaranteed by a government analyst to be absolutely harmless even to the new-born babe. They are especially good in summer because they regu- late the bowels and keep the stomach sweet and pure. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr, Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. ENGLISH MANSIONS SOLD. Some of the Noted Old Castles Are Changing hands. The old boast that visitors from abroad going to England after a lapse of twenty years would find their old friends established in the same old homesteads is vanishing in the war, but Edith would not tell, Going home together, May Denslow and Kitty Cowles guessed that it was a party at which the girls and the boys Were to give Edith presents that began With the letter Ei, since that was the initial of Edith's two names. In the afternoon they told others about it, so before night all of them had thought of presents beginning 'with E ; but Edith's closest friends said that they did not believe that those who, ware invited would be expected to give any presents at all, in spite of the • fact that the party was to be on Edith's birthday. Helena Simpson even grew quite angry at those who thought the Evans family would do such a thing as to give a hint of that kind in an invitation.

WORK OF NEW POSITION. No Increase in Cabinet. Arthur Henderson Is a Well.Balanced and Patriotic Leader of Labor, It is well from every point of view that the resignation of Mr. Arthur Henderson, the one representative of labor in the coalition Cabinet, from the post of President of the Board of Education, is not to involve his re- tirement from the Cabinet. He is continuing in the Cabinet, though in a new office—that of Labor Adviser to the Government. His Cabinet col- leagues and the country at large could ill spare at this time from the inner counsels of Government, a labor lead- er so well-balanced, so able, so pat- riotic, and so wise as Mr. Henderson has shown himself to be. Persistent criticism from extreme Radical quarters, had had the effect of rendering Mr. Henderson's con- tinuance at the Board of Education extremely difficult. And while it is possible that in that particular de- partment he may have been some- thing of a square peg in a round hole, it is notorious that, by reason of the large demands of other kinds made Hen. Arthur Henderson. on his time and thdught he was not able to give sufficient attention to the exclusively departmental work connected with the Board of Educa- tion. For, almost from the moment of his taking office, he was required to devote himself very largely to labor questions. A Tireless Worker. As a fact, these are the very ques- tions to help in the solution of which he was called into the Cabinet. And in contributing to their solution he has done work of immense national benefit—work to which he has applied himself with that tireless energy and Persistence which are so characteris- tic of the man. For fifteen months he was engaged, with great success, in dealing with labor matters submit- ted to him by the Ministry of Muni- tions, the .Admiralty and the War Of- fice, sometimes in turn and sometimes all at once. It is small wonder if, during that time, he was unable to give the requisite attention to the de- partment of which he was the head. His new appointment as Labor Ad- viser to the GovernMent, and his re- tention in the Cabinet in that capa- city, constitute a recognition of the importance of the services .he has 12,000 acres of the family estates., rendered, and will continue to render The Red Haute, near York, will be' in connection with labor questions.

The new Department of Labor which has been established, might very well have been set up at a con- siderably earlier date. It is to have separate officers and a staff under the direction of the Labor Adviser. Its present work will largely consist in investigating labor problems for the information of other departments and of the Cabinet at large. It is satisfactory that the creation of the new office of Labor Adviser is not to add to the already somewhat excessively large total of Cabinet Ministers. Lord Crewe is adding the work of the Education Department to his duties, largely nominal, as Lord President of the Council. Independent of Germany. Hitherto Great Britain has been mainly dependent upon Germany and Austria for its supply of medical herbs, but E. M. Holmes, curator of the Pharmaceutical Society's Mus- eum, states that two of the most valu- able drugs, belladonna and fox -glove, are grown in England, and that she can be independent of Germany in re- spect of these. Belladonna occurs in twenty-eight British countries, and in regard to digitalis—foxglove—if its seed is scattered in fresh localities in the autumn there will be no need to import it from the continent.

Women Are Doing 7'heir Share These Trying Times, Before the war there were • five million, Ave hundred women wage earners in Great Britain; to -day there are said to be over ten million. Five million men have enlisted for active Service, and a woman has taken the place of every able-bodied man who might have been engaged in peace- ful oceupations. England has never been so busy a manufacturing and industrial country as she is in 1916, but this would never have been pos- sible if women had not stepped into the breach. In Canada there is not the same supply of surplus available women, so that in this respect Canada has net experienced so great a revolu- tion in industrial life, but many new occupations are being opened to Canadian women, and the de- mand for women workers in factor. ies and in the great industrial life of the railways is steadily on the increase If Sir Robert Borden is to secure his 500,000 Canadian sol- diers, 100,000 women must tempor- arily step into the shoes of men so that the latter may be released for service, as the limit of available men seems almost to be reached. Women are already worlcing along- side of men in sacking and hauling of grain at the Great Lakes eleva- tors, in the Canadian Pacific yards and shops where they are cleaning cars, in the telegraph services and in many clerical positions hither- to held by men. They are acting in some places as Station Agents with satisfaction to their employers.

The man who undertook the work first mounted a two and one -half -horse- power gasoline engine on the running gear of a light wagon and arranged it to operate a soil auger. With this out- fit two men were able to put down as many holes in a day as 30 men could have punched with a bar and sledge. In these holes light charges of dyna- mite were exploded to form an exca- vation in which to plant trees, a num- ber of holes being fired at a time. By this method the entire orchard was planted in less than 15 days of nine hours each. Atinardir Liniment Relieves Neuralgia. HOW COCOANUTS GROW. Covered With Thick Husk So They Will Float.
