The great menace of fire unques- tionably is to the future of our timber supply. In the piney woods, particu- larly, repeated fires are fatal to the establishment of reproduction; while in the hardwoods the trees, though not always killed, are stunted and de- formed and laid open to fungus and insect attack. As young growth sel- dom has an immediate conunercial value, its loss is usually ignored—the fact that a crop has been destroyed, being overlooked. The loss in such a case 4s as real as if merchantable tim- ber were destroyed the destruction of a ten -year-old stand postponing under present conditions, the date of a possible harvest fronr fifteen to twenty years, if not indefinitely. At the same time, the land burned over has, to all intents and purposes, been rendered unproductive for a corre- sponding period. Herein lies the im- portance of fire protection from an economic standpoint, for no potential- ly productive land should be allowed to lie idle. The community has a right to and will, sooner or later, de- mand that it be producing something. 9Adds Ric nen 5 to what and lens .s to its '_ flavor, when combined in the ,urdy cereal l ill. ripeiitits!No :a opared F c 3 e{"'' }1?�foo7r1r1,-"+ eels Or/ape-Nuts to nourishment, n t, ecorxotrky or di gsti.hU itSi"There's -a Theao(stf Uilidlfll115UUIIIllIIIUIOIII0UdiIttUSOtfll11111111111i11{1I1OJflU WHERE THE CONFLICT GES CT RA AN INTIMATE TOUR OF THE FIGHTING LINE, h e d Soldiers Have Stood, Wer British S4 e r Personally Conducted by a Man Who Known It Well, On the wall of the .coffee -room at the I-lotel du Faueon—The Falcon— at Bailleul, there used to hang, I re- member, an old print of the Heights of Flanders, those modest hills rising from the flat piens which have figur- ed so largely in the recent news from the Front, • says a British officer. There they were—La Montagne de Kemmel, le Mont des Cotes, le Mone Aigu (better known by its Flemish title of the Seherperberg:—"the point- ed hill"), le Mont Noir, le Mont Ruge. On the top of Mont des Cats the print showed a faithful represent- ation of the Trappist Monastery which used to crown the crest, where, in 1915, a kindly brother regaled ma with a glees of the monks' excellent Home-made liquor. Flat and Depressing. After the dead flatness of the coun- try between St. Omer and Bailleul, one comes upon theseepleasant wood- ed heights with a sensation of relief. If you will look in Baedeker for Bel- gium and Holland you will find duly noted therein the Belvedere of Mount Kemmel from which a fine view of the surrounding country may be obtain- ed (entrance fee ten centimes). When 1 laboriously toiled to the top of Kemmel Hell one afternoon, in 1915, a few crumbling bricks were all that remained of the Belvedere, or Aussichtstnim (observation tower), as the Germans would call it, to which the good burgesses of Bailleul, in hap. pier times, used to repair on Sunday afternoons enjoy ernootl to en'o the view and to drink their coffee at the estaminet at its foot. Kemmel stands out like a bastion in front of all the others, the Scherpenberg, le Mont Noir, and the rest. This border land lying along the Franco Belgian frontier is a coun- try of contrasts. From Hazebrouck, which is a dull »and ugly place, the roads running to Bailleul and Mer- ville, respectively, traverse a flat and depressing region of brimming, wil- low fringed ditches, of wet, hedge - less meadows, the sparse houses and farms squalid and poverty stricken. The villages are made up of a hetero- geneous collection of old, weather- stained houses and brand-new red- brick villas, which look exactly like the pictures on those children's boxes of building stones (made in Ger- many). To Old Bailleul. And then, suddenly, you come to. Bailleul, whose town -hall ds a gem of old Flemish architecture. With its quaint cupolas and fantastic turrets, the Hotel de Ville always used to re- mind me of an illustration from a book of fairy tales. The old-world place, with the town hall bulking large in the foreground, flanked on either side by the old shops and houses all crowded together, as though leaning, against one another, came as ti delightful surprise after the plain uniformity of the surround- ing country.- The ountry.The road from Hazebrouck to Mer- ville—where the Indian Corps had its headquarters for so long—furnishes another pleasant surprise, When the main road plunges into the Forest of Nieppe the ugly sordidness of this frontier land slips away. The forest is large and thickly planted with oak and beech, and there are pheasants and rabbits in the undergrowth. Many a summer night coming through the forest, I have•stopped and heard the nightingales warbling, full-throated about the old chateau which lies on the edge of the wood. Mervin° has nothing about it to justify its pretty name, except the picturesque, high -framed bridges across the muddy River Lys. The chateau, which was the headquarters of the Indian Corps in the old days, was a monstrosity such as only a nouveau riche would be guilty of per- petrating. It was a bogus antique from roof to basement, with a little moat (if I remember aright). There was brand new, staring, yellow wain - 'scot in all the roorns, and., suits of some and very bright coats -of -arms and everything to match. Occupied by Asylum. I had a friend at Baffin], the di- rector of the great female lunatic asylum lying on the north of the town on the road going out to Lone. Ile was a witty and. amiable French doc- tor, shrewd and fair-minded and tact- ful, who liked the British Army, and did all in his power to make their stay at Bailleul agreeable. The nunse who ran the asylum, aided by a de- tachment of harmless lunatics, se sed to do the washing for the troops in connection with the first-class pa- tients' baths, which were used as a bathing establishment by the men quartered do the vicinity: It was a splendid bath, large, and tiled in yel- low, with unlimited supplies of hot water; and I often used to watch the. nen revelling innit. When the Germans were at Bail - leu] before—in the autumn of 101.4— they occupied the asylum. • They made Moneieur'le Dideeteur very angry bee brokeseveral. slate from Cause they s the belfry chapel, where they lied in- stalled a machi] a gun to fire on the adyaneing Britian, Every time I pttse- ed the chapel with my frir)ltd the 0. rector he would point out tp mo the gap it the belfry Made by the miss - ting slates, To his Mita it watt the enduring evidence of Gern1a11 trighh •Caines, Poor mats, if he is still at •Bailleul, I fear lie has had by now a worse lesion of the eharae(.er of our floes, Flint Bathing Station, . .At Nioppe, which Iles to the seuth- east'uf Bailleul, was installed the first bathing establishment on the Western front. It was in, the late winter of 101t, when hire Army was suffering much from theiolenon0 y of the. Flemish climate, and '"trench feet" were causing many casualties, The baths were sot up in a ramshackle oltl factory on the bank of the River Lye, A. hot water lnstalletiou was nut in, and the men bathed in great wooden vats, while, in another part of the ins dings, their uniforms ware diem, fectede Their shirts, socks, and under. clothing wore taken away, and they were lesued with fresh sets on emerg- ing from the baths. Shirts wefe mended Anel socks were darned by a party of old women, recruited locally. The bathing estaiilishenent at Nieppe had a grisly relic, of which the officer in charge—the Army doc- tor who had originated the scheme was inordinately proud, It was known (saving your presence!) a$ "The Lousy Shirt," It was, in fact, the most verminous article with which the disinfecting branch of the estab- lishment had had to handle, and was reverently preserved, as a relic, be- tween two sheets of glass. It certain- ly showed abundant traces of the ruthlessness with which the bathing establishment waged war .on these soldiers' pests. The River Lys, which has played such a large part in the desperate fighting, is a muddy, uninteresting stream, which, in my mind, is 'prin- cipally associated with the Indians, evho spent so many`eweary months in the Lys Valley. Some of the sowers had the ingenious idea of using Mills' bombs for the purpose. of catching fish. The procedure was simple, You just pulled out the safety pin, drop- ped the bomb into the river, and then 'collected the dead fish thrown up by the explosion, "But the authorities, probably rearing that some over eager Oriental a ould blow himself to bits, stopped the practice, so grenade fish- ing fell into desuetude. THE COINAGE OF WAR WORDS. A Few of the Many New Terms Add- ed to our Language. It is obviously impossible in limited space to mention more than a few of the more stinking words which the war has given us, says an .English writer. Let me begin with one in very common use, "camouflage," I cannot remember any instance of a foreign word so peculiarly un -English as this not only being so rapidly and universally adopted but also being so rarely mispronounced. I still often overhear knots of men who in their talk about the war refer to the Kay- ser, and the utter anglicization of French battle names by public house military experts is perhaps the most charming feature of their discussions; but "camouflage" remains as French in sound in this country as in its own, and every one uses it. Here, how- ever, it has became so elastic as to be the recognized term for any kind of pretence whatsoever. Another French word which also gets its full value in the Anglo-Saxon mouth is "barrage"; but "barrage" has no general usage. The word "raid" is as old as the Scottish border, but will never again be employed, I imagine, except in association with attacks by air. At first we always said "air raid," but now "raid" alone is sufficient. Should the enemy find any other way of hitting at the heart of us there will be another word than "raid" to describe his efforts. And to these I would add that early flower of Armageddon speech, "moratorium;' which for a while most of us took to be the name of a new liner. Perhaps the most notable slang phase that the war has produced is "to get the wind up," meaning to up- set, or "rattle," or put the fear of God into. But I speak only from the point of the homekeeping observer, aware merely of such expressions as get into London parlance. Soldiers on active service no doubt could supply columns of new terms. To the Men at Home. No war is won by cannon fire alone; The soldier bears the grim and dreary role; He dies to serve the Flag that he has known; His duty is to gain the distant goal, But if the toiler in his homeland fair Falter in faith and shrink from every test If he be not on duty ever, there; Lost to the cause is every soldier's best. The men at home, the toiler in the shop, The keen -eyed watcher on the spin- . drill Hear , no command -to vault the trench's top; They know not what it is to die or kill, And yet they must be brave and con- stant, too, Upon them Ides their precious coun- try's fate; They also serve the Flag as soldiers Ifo, '. theirs thes to make a a nation's army great.

Estimates of Yield in Previous Years Have Been Below the Mark. Early and premature opinion places the wheat crop of the Canadian prairies at 300,000,000 bushels. plant - Mg has barely been finished. Hesen- tial data lacking, we may await re - ,ports with the reassuring knowledge that estimates of acreage are not over the mark, They never have been. Re- vision upward has been the rule both as to acreage and yield. . It has been shown time and again that close study of hidden subsoil con- ditions in the'Tering wheat belt is searcely of less importance than to record precipitation and atmospheric changes. There have been seasons of long superficial drought when yield in quantity and quality was beyond all expectation. Results have also been the reverse, : Some, day the agri- cultural colleges may unearth some important .discoveries below the fam- iliar content of moisture a few feet deep. It will never be known just how many bushels of wheat were produced in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and AI- berta in 1916. That erop was being hauled to market for nearly two years, Wheat specialists from Mimre- apolis, Chicago, Liverpool and Glas- gow were unable to calculate yield even when the threshers were on the ground. Nor has there yet been sat- isfactory explanation of the marvel- ous multiplication and size of the wheat kernel, even on wild lands and in the dry areas of, Southern Saskat- chewan, and far up in the Peace river country. It is doubtful df any single agency, either public or private, has in any season completely surveyed the en- tire growing area of the prairies. It stretches far out from railroad branch extensions. Motoring is difficult or impossible. Growth is so rapid that when an inspection of one district is completed, wheat has developed to a much more advanced stage elsewhere. Neither the Canadian Government nor such private associations as the Northwest Grain Dealers' have shown disposition to overestimate results. In the present circumstances of mo- mentous consequence it is well that reliance can be placed on these esti- mates as not likely to go beyond the fact. There has been at least found- ation laid for a yield second in size only to the 1916 crop, when every process of nature co-operated in fe- cundity. Perhaps the last battle of the war may be a victory for the Can- adian wheat crop. May it be so. • The Itemized Account.

Newfoundland luta oonaiderable re - serene of timber, whieh, though 'ender a separate Government, form part of the aarne Impeniai question, They 11, lustrate incidentally how rapidly for- ests, whieh at first sight seem vast may he absorbed. Ths Newfoundlttnel woods cover 10,000 square miles, but more than a third has been taken over by a single company. The produce from this area, nearly equal to the whole woodlands of Great Britain, feeds the pulp and paper mills of the Anglo - Newfoundland Development Company and supplies the require- ments of four British newapapers. Newfoundland hat assisted the United Kingdom during the war with sup- plies of pitwood from the three-mile belt round the coast reserved by the Colonial Government for the use of the Colony and not 'ordinarily avail- able for export except in the form of pulp. Labrador, which is a depend- ency of Newfoundland, is believed to have considerable resources in timber suitable for pulpwood and pitwood. ,India, South Africa, Austrabia and New Zealand are already importers of soft woods, and no relief with re- gard to future supplies, but rather the contrary, may be expected from those quarters. Sufficient Sugar for Canting. Housekeepers who are anxious about their preserves for next winter may take comfort. The Food Board announces that there will be sufficient sugar in tite country for the preserv- ing and canning season and that the maximum fruit and vegetable crops that can be produced in this country will be taken were of, so far as the sugar supply is concerned. To make sure of this, however, strict conserva- tion will be necessary in the mean- time. o--o—o—o LIFT YOUR CORNS ° O R CO OFF WiTH FINGERS • How to loosen a tender Dorn or o callus so It lifts out o without pain. 0-0-0 Let folks step on your feet here- after; wear shoes a eine smaller if you like, for corns will never again send electric sparks of pain through you, according to this Cincinnati au- thority. He says that a few drops of a drug called freezone, applied directly upon a tender, aching corn, instantly re- lieves soreness, and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out, This drug dries at once and simply shrivels up the corn or callus without even irritating the surrounding tissue. A small bottle of freezone obtained at any drug store will cost very little but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's foot. If your druggist hasn't stocked this new drug yet, tell him to get a small bottle of freezone for you from his wholesale drug house.
