All depends: on wliat you eat as a substitute. It is a good time to study "food value." You znay be eating the wrong foods, the foods that cost ihost and give the least nutriment. Shredded Wheat Biscuit contains more real, body-building. nutriment, pound for pound, than meat, eggs or potatoes and costs, much less, Two of these Biscuits with milk and 'a little fruit make a nourishing • meal at a cost of a few cents. Make Shredded Wheat your "meat." A satis- fying breakfast on which to start the day's work. It is ready -cooked and ready -to - eat. Made in Canada. The scarcity of cars is one of the chief causes for the discouraging out- look for pulp operations for the win- ter in New Brunswick. High Sheriff John O'Brien, Northumberland, died last Saturday from injuries received at the' railway crossing above Chatham.

There was a big round -up of rum men- in Sydney, Cape Breton, detec- tives' investigations resulting in charges against 11 alleged lawbreak- ers. Several Cape Breton skippers will shortly leave Canada for overseas to undergo special training preparatory to taking up patrol work in the North SUPPLY OF WHEAT It was with considerable satisfac• tion that readers in all Allied coun- tries received the statement made a °I- short time ago by the -Institute of Ag- riculture at Rome, that 1917 had seen an increase in the wheat crop of the principal countries of the world, out- side of the Central Powers, of 3.3 per cent. over 1916, These figures were based on returns from Spain, France, 1 Scotland, Ireland, Switzerland, Cana- 1 da,the United States, India, Japan anAlgeria, which countries are this year estimated to show a total wheat j production of 1,665,448,000 bushels, At the same time these same coun- tries show an increase in them barley crop of 2.4 per cent; an increase in their rye crop of 10.7 per pent; an increase in their oat crop of 19.9 per cent. and an increase in their corn crop of 25,3 per cent. That such in- ' creases should be possible among na- tions, most of whom are engaged in war, is: in itself a tribute to the pro- ] ductive energy of manhood. The enormous total of 1,665, 448,000 bushels of wheat is so great that it Irefuses to be:grasped by the human mind without some units of comped- sone if thin crop of wheat were load ed into freight cars, 1,000bushels to the car, and each car occupied forty ]feet of the railway track, it would re- present one solid loaded train 12,617 miles in length—more than enough' to , reach f1 ea al way round the world at the l equator. These loaded cars,without engines, would occupy sevn-eighthsI l of to entire trackage of the Canadian 1 Pacific Railway, known as the world's! greatest transportation company. There is, however, another point of view, and a very appropriate one at this particular period, when the agri- i cultural countries are called upon to (produce the utmost pound of food. !While the countries mentioned have , done well their accomplishment shrinks into insignificance when com ' pared with their possibilities. For !instance, the three Canadian provinces j.00 Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alber-: to could produce three times the total! wheat crop above referred to This statement may seem extravagant un- til submitted to the test of cold figures. I Then we get data like this i According to the Government of Canada there are in the provinces mentioned the following areas suit- able for agricultural purposes : Manitoba 74,216,000 acres Saskatchewan .. 93,459,000 " Alberta 105,217,000 " Sea. "Syrney Academy is one of the fin - .est educational institutions in Nova Scotia,' declared Dr. A. H. McKay, superintendent of education for Nova Scotia. Mr. A. J.

HUNS PILLAGEb Q ENTIN. Vandalism Assigned to Officers and Soldiers of Two German Regiments. The Germans, according to the French claims, not only deliberately caused the fires that have partially ruined. the beautiful and famous cathe- Iirahof St. Quentin, but pillaged the city before they set fire to a part of it. The vandalism is laid to the door of ;officers and soldiers of the 116th and 117th Regimeiits of the T15'enty-fifth German Division, and, more or less directly to the commanders of these, units respectively. Colonel Gjing,I Colonel Klett-and"General von Schaer-! fenstein, who are charged with having ordered a systematic pillage of St. 1 -"Quentin as soon as they entered the; city. Officers, with -soldier's• to do the heavy work, went . about the city, it was asserted, and carried off furni- ture, silverware, pianos and valuable pictures and shipped them to Ger- many. They even took safes filled with valuables_and did it openly, pi1- Mg their loot.oii to vans in midday. One officer and a number of soldiers were observed, is said, as they at- tempted to steal strong boxes . from the bank. The pilaging troops worked under orders to establish a depot for loot on the route to. Cambrai,where ere finds . from various towns were concentrat- ed. The soldiers received instructions to take anything. they pleased or that looked valuable, and in consequence have "cleeiwed out" the city of St. Quentin as well as countless smaller places. Numberless_ men on furlough. are said to have gone back to their homes laden with loot. Nor has money been overlooked in the ,vandal hunt. One soldier of the 116th Regiment is supposed to. have uncovered $0,000 francs and to have' appropriated it, while smeller' sums are missing from a numiler of homes. To -day there remains in St, Quentin homes only old, broken and worthless furniture. Everything of value has been carried away. The famous. petroleumr springs of Greece, described by a historian four centuries' before Christ, aro to be ex- ploited by lona] capitalists aftor'being regarded merely as curiosities for more than 2,800 years., these countries anh have snore- left over than, wee brown in 1917 in all Canada, Of course, It is hnpgsslble, es a •practicable manner, to `put eye]•)' arable aore of land la any country in wheat, but if we say -tor the slyke of illustration that one-third of the arable land in these provinces is sem- nler-followed, one-third sown to coarse grains or pasture, and one-third to wheat, the Proportion that is sown to wheat will produce a greeater crop than that already mentioned as being grown by•all the 8onutl'tes before re- ferred to. These figures may be intereeting 'generally for the great eompalisq]) which they afford, but they must also carry the conclusion that the. world Is a. very long way from having exhaust- ed. -its food producing possibilities. Any scarcity of food prod'uetion which may now exist --is traceable ,almost entirely to an improper dletribution of population. In the older countries population is compelled to exist on such limited areas that production on a relatively large scale is impossible, wheroae in the newer countries such as Western Canada the population is as yet totally insufficient to,ilring the country under cultivation. These are conditions which will doubtless right themselves; in fact, the process of correction is going on very rapidly, and, whatever dififloulties may be ,ex- pes•ienced in feeding the, world during the next few years, there can be no question that they will be Solved as soon as sufficient population is found for the great open --plains which are still awaiting the husbandman. NERVOUS AILMENTS t Few people realize that nervous ailments Often arisefromdigestive to d esti g troubles. The stomach fails, for some reason, to digest ,food properly. Then the system languishes and the nerves become exhausted in striving to con. tine their work, Impure blood also causes nerve troubles, but frequently it Is in the stomach where the mis- chief starts. As .the nourishment is carried to the nerves by the blood, it will be seen what an important bon- nection exists between the stomach, the nerves and the blood, and how such troubles as nervous headaches, 'nerv'nervous dyspepsia and insomnia may ous In such cases relief is easily obtain- able. by means of Dr. Williams' Pink !Pills, These pills 'replenish the blood .wit the food elements on which the 1 nerves thrive; et the same time they !nerves a tonic influence on the di- gestive organs, enabling the system to I derive nourishment from the food tak- en. -By this perfectly natural process nervous ills are steadily dispelled by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. If you are suffering from nerves, or require a blood -making tonic, give these pills a fair. trial, and see how speedily the best of health will be yours. • You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mall at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. 272,892,000 The average wheat crop in these provinces for the last ten years has been : Manitoba, 18.20 bushels per aore; Saskatchewan, 18.44 bushels per acre; Alberta, 20.19 bushels per acre. The average for the three pro- vinces ie therefore practically 19 \bushels per acre. If you multiply the available acreage, as given above, by 19, youwill find that these provinces, if entirely cultivated, are capable of producing in an average year 6,184,- 948;000 bushels of wheat—considel+- ably more than three times the total\ which is being produced this year, 1917, by Spain, France, Scotland, Ire- land, Switzerland, Canada, United States, India, Japan and Algeria com- bined. The single province of Alberta can produce as much wheat as all of Save Iithe Use Of Wheat By eating GrapcNuts All the food value of the grain is used in making this delicious food ; and its blend of malted barley not only adds to its nod - ' fishing qualities but produces a flavor of unusual richness,.

Canadian Surgeon Says Men Shot. -Through the Brain Often Recover. "It is surprising and' pleasing to know that a largo percentage of men shot through the brain recover," is a statement made"by Colonel F. McNel- vey Boll in his new book, "The .First. Canadians in France." The subtitle of Colonel Bell's book is "The Chroni- cle of a Military'idoepital in the War Zone " The author was attached to the first - contingent of the Canadian Overseas: as medical director and gives in sant- ple, colloquial style the first, or at i reset one of the very first accounts of "frons this side to the trenches." Col onel Bell writes]. "That morning I found a poor chap who had been shot through the brad with a rifle bullet, The missile had entered the temple and emerged at the bawls of the skull, fracturing the bone both at the point..of entry and exit Ilis heavy breathing and stupor told us the ease called for immediate• re- lief. In the operating room pieces of the skull were removed, the depressed bone lifted, and in about an hour the patient was taken back to his ward. We had little hope of his recovery. "The following day, when I entered the hospital, his bed was empty. I thought: 'Poor fellow/ IIe has died in the Bight and no one has sent me word.' I turneeto the man in the next bed and asked: "'What has become of your neigh- bor ?' - FRES TO EARLS "'Oh,' he replied, 'he's just gone out to the washroom. He'll be back in a few minutes, He stole out of the ward while the nursing sister was in the other room.' "While we were talking, he walked in, got quietly into bed and reached for a cigarette," SATISFIED MOTHERS Once a mother has used Baby's Own Tablets for her little ones she will use nothing else.

Concerning them Mrs. Jean Deohaine, Lacordaire, Seals, writes : —"I am well satisfied with Baby's Own Tablets. I had no trouble in giv- ing them to my baby and they have promptly cured her of constipation." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr, Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Advice. To try and fall Is better far Then not to move • From where you are.

A New Use For Wood. tv Tho very : latest wrinkle at soda fountains is the use of wooden dishes for serving ice cream and sundaes, re- placing the cheap looking and flimsy paper cups that came into use a few years ago in response to the demand for a sanitary individual service. These wooden dishes are pressed out of very thin sheets of clear maple, shaped to slip readily into silver hold- ers. They are tasteless, odorless and hygienic.

The up-to-date type of destroyer is a very different craft from the de- stroyer of a dozen years ago. It is bigger, more heavily gunned, much . speedier and altogether more formid- d able as a fighting machine. It is about 315 feet long and has a displacement 1 o 1100 tons, Provided with engines of 10,000 horsepower, it can travel at a rate of thirty-eight land miles an — express hour—the seed of a fast e p , train, Its armament comprises four four -inch quick -fire rifles, supplement - ed by four twin (or triple) torpedo /tubes. The cost of such a boat is 21,- 500,000. It carries ninety men and five officers. A destroyer is a thin shell of steel largely filled with ma- Ichinery. It burns oil fuel, of course, and its engines are of necessity huge, in order to furnish such great horse- power. Everything in its construc- 1tion is subordinated to speed. Slim, like the swift mackerel; its breadth is less than one-tenth of its length. The. i U.S. Government is now building 300 1of these vessels to 'aid in the war 1 against the submarine.

Instantly the soreness disappears, then short- ly you will find the corn or callus so loose that yeti can lift it right t g off. Freezone is wonder- ful. It dries instantly. It doesn't eat away the corn or callus, but shrivels it up without even irr tating the surrounding skin. Hard, soft or corns between the toes, as well as painful calluses, lift right off. There is no pain before or after- wards. If your druggist hash freezone, tell hint to order a small bot- tle for you from his wholesale drug tense.
