So successful had Ella been in in-{
ovulating her children with her own
social views, that when plucked away
unexpectedly before the accomplish-

proved themselves perfectly compet-
ent to carry it on.
Noor did the task tax their powers
greatly; for in the victim thus care-'

DOMESTIC SCIENCE AT DOME,
Fourth Lesson
The mission of food in the body is to
repair, build new tissue and to furnish
heat and energy to the body for the
daily labor.
The mysterious processes of diges-
tion separate the food, so that we find
portions of it ate incombustible, that
do not furnish material for repairing,
building new tissues, heat or energy to
the body. Upon close study we find
that digestion starts in the mouth and
stomach and finishes in the intestines.
The stomach and intestines are so
constructed that they depend upon
their contraction and expansion, as it

were, for the performance of their
duties, which consist of absorbing the
nutriment of the food, discarding al
that has yielded its goodness and
eliminating all waste products from
the body.
In order that these organs be kept in
their usual working order, it is neces-
sayy that foods containing consider-
a)IIe bulk be eaten daily.
Vegetables, salads, whole grains
contain valuable incombustibles in the
form of cellulose, which are necessary
for active elimination of waste and
undigested foods from the body

SPEED UP FREIGHT MOVEMENT
In order to facilitate train move-
ments and release passenger train
orewe for other work, the railways of
the United States are malting; drastic
reductions compared to which thoso•in
Canada early this year appear mild.
Thus, for instance, the Pbnnaylvanhi
Railroad merely ori its lines east of
Pittsburg has eliminated no less than
102 trains, or more than double the
number taken off fire whole of the
Canadian railways. This will cut
down the passenger movement by an
1 amount equivalent to 2,208,000 train
miles per annum or over 0,6'00 train
chiles every week day. A number of
parlor oars, restaurant oars and ob•
servation cars are being discontinued,
The Boston and Maine has taken off
no less than 266 trains, or more than
five times the number taken off in
Canada, saving approximately 41,000
train miles per week, Strenuous ef-
forts are also being made to increase
the carload and to impress on mor•
chants the importance of rapid un-
loading SO that the freight equipment
shall be kept busy to its utmost ca-
pacity, and terminals should be kept
clear, The American railroads realize
that speed in freight movement is one
of the greatest aids they can give to
help win the war and according to all
reports are achieving remarkable re-
sults, It is up to Canadians- to ace
that Canada is not left behind in this
patriotic race.

THE HOUSE OF WiNDSOR
King George Has Changed the Appel-
lation of British Royal Family.
The Royal family rt Britain is of
be House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. The
Hanoverian line ended with the mar-
riage of Queen Victoria and Albert,
Prince of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
George V, lives up to the conception
of a "Patriot King." Ile has now
truck out the German names used
n the description of the British Royal
amity, Several weeks ago German
Hies held by connections of the Royal
amity, such as the Tecks and Batten -
burgs, were abolished, and new Brit-
sh appellations found for them.
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha is now dropped as
the name of the reigning dynasty.
Henceforward it is to be the House of
Windsor. That is a fine old historic
English name, after the castle which
has for so many centuries been one of
the chief abodes of Royalty, The
change will be welcomed by the Brit-
ish people, at home and in the outer
parts of the Empire.
Windsor is a parliamentary and
municipal borough and market town
in Berkshire, on the Thames, 2'd miles
west of London, The village of Old
Windsor is about two miles to the
east, where was situated the royal

widely used eye remedies, and is the
principal ingredient in most of them.
The same is true of most foot powders.
For an eye wash I use a saturated
solution. This same solution is also a
splendid antiseptic, and I keep a small
quantity made up for this purpose. It
may be used on open wounds without
pain. This is very effective, and is
also non-poisonous.
As a foot powder the acid is used in
the powdered form. One or two spoon-
fuls to a shoe relieyes tired, aching,
and sweaty feet, and also removes all
odors.
I keep a bottle containing a saturat-
ed solution of borax for use in nay

and half sugar is an excellent ant
poison.

TO SWEEP GARDEN WITH
Princess Mary Wanted Nice Hard
Broom For Young Prince,
Princess Mary likes an open-air life,
and has been often seen riding with
the King during his Majesty's early
morning rides, both in London and at
Windsor. She made her debut in the
hunting field whet' she was only
eleven, attending a meet of the West
Norfolk Foxhounds on her chestnut
cob.
As the only daughter in a family
with five boys, the Princess has
shared her brothers' games and re-
creations. She anjoys shopping, and
takes great trouble to obtain the par-
ticular presents which she sets her
heart on, For instance, she once
asked In a London shop for a small
hard broom. They had not one,
"I want a nice little hard broom for
my brother to sweep garden paths
with," said the Princess.
Since the war Princess Mary has

WORDS WE WANT.
The English Language is Constantly
Being Enriched by New Terms.
The war is enlarging our dictionary,
and we are growing accustomed to
many terms which, in pre-war days,
rarely or never fell upon our ears.
Blighty, fiag-day, strafe, "little bit,"
summer -time, are examples. The lat-
ter word, in all' its war -paint, actually
appears in the latest volume of the
now English Dictionary.
But some words are still required,
so get busy and see whether you can
find them! '
To start with, can you think of a
good term for allotment -holder? "Al-
lotter" and "alloteer" have been sug-
gested by a contemporary, but they
lack snap. Got anything better?
A decent name for our airmen is
also on the waiting-list—something to
go with Tommy and Jack. No money
will be paid to the inventor; but think
of the glory of having produced a
term that will be handed down to your
great-grandchildren!
Then, what shall we call the man
who has been re -rejected? And the
woman voter? And can you find
something snappy for a tobacco -hoard-
er, a man over sixty-one,toand a meal
that is only half a meal?

It is the duty of every subject of the Allies to help
win the WAR, and they can best do it by preventing
WASTE and storing up for the COMING WINTER all
food products, especially those perishable foods such as
fruits and vegetables.
This can be accomplished easily by using one of the
NATIONAL CANNING OUTFITS. With the aid of
one of these all kinds of fruits, corn, peas, tomatoes
and beans can be cooked, which will keep indefinitely
when properly prepared.

SMOKELESS ERA
OF THE FUTURE
NOT SO FAR DISTANT AS SOME
MAY IMAGINI+;.
ea—
Electricity is Suet Coining Onto Its
Own and Wi11 Replace Coal For
All Purposes.
Who can prophesy the effect elec-
tricity will have on our future life? It
is beyond the wildest dreains of Jules
Verne, The country will be covered
with a network of wires which, view-
ed from an airplane, would resemble a
huge sieve, 1Vhether it be for actuat-
ing a transcontinental railway system
or for cooking a "stepless:meal" on
the dinner table, all our power and
heat will some day be drawn from this
sieve. 1
Dr. Charles P. Steinmetz, the elec-
trical wizard at Schenectady, U.S.A.,
wrote,
"When we use nothing but electrical
power for heating as well as for other
purposes, the supply will come
through transmission lines from big
central stations of many million
horsepower. These stations will be lo
cated wherever power is available,
such as at waterfalls, coal mines and
oil and gas wells: This will do away
with the wasteful process of hauling
coal -from the mines to the relatively
small power houses scattered all over
the country.
As Cheap As Water.
"It may be that at the coal mines,
instead of taking out the coal and
burning it the way we do now, power
will be generated in the 'nine itself by
setting the coal in the veins on fire.
No—this is not beyond the dream of
!possibility. I0 has already been seri-
• ouslypropoeed by an eminent English
scientist. Startling will be the
Changes effected by such a supply of
electricity. Electrical power will be
used so generally that it is very like-
! ly the cost will be on the basis of a
tax, like our water tax. For example,
so much a plug, as we are now charg-
ed so much a faucet. It will be very
cheap and it will not pay to install
meters and have them read and keep
the accounts in the offices of the elec-
tric companies.
"To -day water is used universally,
and no one would think of making a
charge to a friend or even a stranger
for any amount of it. If you make a
call in your electric vehicle, the vehicle
will be run into your friend's base-
: meat and the batteries will be charg-
ed while you are making your call, It
won't make any difference whether
you get your electric current from
youz friend's plug or from the plug
in your own home—the tax will re-
main the same."
Think of the smokeless age that is
coming. It is not so far distant as
many of us imagine!
AVOID WASTE.
A National and Individual Duty at
This Tune of Food Shortage.
The world war has taken so many
Producers from the sources of food
supply that the world's consumption
of food is greater than the amount
available,, and, consequently, food
reserves are being rapidly depleted.
Millions of men are actively engaged
in warfare and in the supply of moni-
tions and equipment. They are fight-
ing our battles and we must provide
their food. Canada will produce all
the food we can consume, but Can-
adians have never -been known as a
selfish race.. Our allies, therefore, are
depending upon 'us for help and our
people will unquestionably respond
with generous hand,
The time for planting for 1017 is
past, but the time of harvest is yet to
come. There is very often much
waste at this time, due, in many in-
stances, to the lack of a amend at
market prices. Fruit, especially, sup-
plies much of this waste, and yet,
while this waste is taking place, many
families at compelled to go withou it
for lack of means to pay the market
Prices. Local organizations could
easily arrange to bring the consumers
in touch with this surplus fruit that it
might not be wasted. The use of
such perishable food, which would
otherwise be wasted, will help to in-
crease the supply of exportable food.
There is also much waste in the !cit-
cions and dining -rooms of Canadian
homes, The waste in bread alone is
a considerable item, Bread has been
looked upon as one of the cheaper
staple foods and little care has been
taken to prevent its waste by drying
up, the discarding o£ crusts, etc. A
little thought will show what this
waste amounts to when the cumulative
result throughout Canada is consider-
ed.
Sir Robert Borden has said that
Canada is in the war "to the East man
and the last dollar." Canada is also in
the war to the last pound of food.
Canadians are theig^brothers' keepers,
and will feed them; cost what it may.
It is necessary, therefore, that we
practise economy of the food supply,
It is better to deny ourselves from
choice then from necessity. There is
no denying 'that there will be a food
shortage, tend the present is the time
to put into practice thrift and rigid
economy in the useof food.
Bread to be wholesome for any
member of the funnily should be titer-
ouglt! j'bailted ,
