Ontario Liberal Editors
For Conscription.
Declare No Candidate Should Be
Supported Who Opposes the
Measure—Also Takes Stand
that National Government is
Necessary at Ottawa.
Ata conference of editors and pub-
lishers of Ontario Liberal newspapers
at the Ontario Club Friday afternoon,
assent was given to the following
expression of opinion;
(1) Canada's task is to organize
her man -power and resources for the
wining of the war, including com-
pulsory military service, conscription
of wealth, progressive income tax, in-
creased food production,. control of
profiteering, nationalization of muni-
tion plants, national and personal thrift
and economy, etc,
(2) It is essential that our troops
be backed up by the needed rein-
forcements, and that the Liberal party
in Ontario should stand squarely for
compulsory military service, and that
no candidate should be supported who
will not support this.
(3) Sir Robert Borden and his Gov-
ernment have proved themselves un-
equal to these tasks. No other pure-
ly party Government at the present
time could deal with them, A War
Cabinet and Government representing
both parties and the strong forces of
the nation working for the winning of
the war is, therefore, necessary,
The Canadian political situation was
thoroughly discussed, the only dissent
of the above being on the part of
W. Elliott, of the Mitchell Recorder,

List. The Poultry Committee were
able to secure $200.00 of this amount
for their department, and have placed
it all on the list without adding any-
thing to the entry fee. This will make

Cherry Canning Facts.
Harvesting Crop in Winter from
Sagging Pantry Shelves Possi-
ble if You Follow these Direct-
ions During the Season.
Harvesting a cherry crop in winter
from sagging pantry shelves will be
possible in many homes next winter.
Among the verities of cherry shelf -
crops the State College of Agriculture
lists: Sweet sauce, sour sauce for pie
filling, cherry Juice, cherry conserve
and dried cherries.
The difference between the sweet
and sour sauce is that of the concen-
tration of the syrup. For the sweet
sauce the water and sugar should be
boiled until it spins a thread, Allow
one cupful of syrup to one quart of
pitted cherries; drop the pitted cherr-
ies in sterilized jars and seal. For
sour sauce for pie filing boil the cherr-
ies in a thin syrup for five minutes;
pack closely in jars and seal. The ex-

During the hot weather young children
are 'very much subject to diarrhoea, in
fact, more•so than adults, on account of
the more delicate construction of their
constitution. It behooves every mother
to look after her children on the first sign
of any looseness of the bowels, for if they
do not some serious bowel tenable such
as diarrhoea, dysentery. cholera infau-
twa, cholera morbus, summer complaint,

with large sweet cherries, leaving the
stents on and packing the fruit as
closely as possible, Mix one table-

vinegar, andpour the mixture into the
jar of cherries. Fill the jar with cold
water. Adjust the rubber and the cov-
er and seal the jar as usual, Turn it
upside down for several ltntes. Allow
the cherries to stand for at least two
weeks before using them. These
cherries are not heated. They make
a firm salt pickle to be used with
meati,
DRIED CHERRIES—Wash the cher-
ries and remove the surface moisture.
The cherries may be pitted or ,lfot;
pitted cherries lose juice, but the juice
may be drained off and used. However
the cherries can be used in more ways
when the pits are left in, If the cher-
ries are not pitted, the drying is fa-
cilitated by dipping thea, quickly into
a boiling solution of lye made in the
proportion of one omice of concentrat-
ed lye to one gallon of water. They
should then be rinsed three or four
times in clear water. Spread the cher-
ries -in a thin layer on platters or dry-
ing racks, and dry then, for from three
to four hours at Ifo to 159 degrees
F., raising the temperture gradually,
Store then, in A 4;oisture-proof con-
tainer. If the cherries are to be used
as sauce, soak them over night and
simmer until they are tender, adding
as much sugar as desired, If the cher-
ries are to be used in puddings,
breads, breakfast cereals, or as con-
fection, sprinkle sugar over them be-
fore they are dried to improve the
flavor,
CHERRY CONSERVE—Two quarts

two and a half quarts of sugar, one-

Third Year of War Brings Foe's
the point where the Gnila Lipa river
enters the Dniester, and the Russian
attack, moving north and west out of
Stanislau, forced the passage of the
Bystritza river and thrust a wedge be-
tween these two armies, taking Halicz
and reaching and capturing Kalusz,
about twenty miles west of Stanislau,
and the headquarters of the Austrian
army south o the Dniester.
When the Austrian army lost the
line of the Bystritza the question was
immediately posed whether it could re-
treat and hold the Lomnica line. Like
the Bystritza river the stream rises in
the Carpathians and flows north, enter-
ing the Dniester tive or ten miles west
of the Bystriza. Either of these streams
supplies a satisfactory line for extend-
ing the Austro -German position south
of the Dniester to the Carpthians, But
if the Russians succeded natural obstac-
les in their pathway all the way to
Stryj 30 ,piles to the west, and if Stryj
should fall the fate of Lemberg would
be sealed.
111 the first dash of the Russians
they passed the Lomnica river and
occupied a number of towns west of
the river, as well as Halicz to the
north bank of the Dniester, west of
the Gnila Lip, In this position they
threatened the whole Gnila Lipa north
of the Dniester and the whole Lom-
pica line south of it. They interposed
a wedge between the two armies of
the Central Powers, and the position
of each of these armies became dan-
gerous. Unless the Russians could
now be checked a general and sweep-
ing change on the eastern front was
imminent.
TAKING OF KALUSZ
The• taking of Kalusz was announc-
ed on Saturday. On Sunday the Rus-
sians were still pushing forward south
of Kalusz and were cleaning the east-
ern bank of the Lomnica river and
seizing the crossings
But then there cause a change,
First we• had reports of heavy rain
which slowed down the Russian ad-
vance,andd lateron
Tuesday came
the
announcement that the Germans had
re -taken the town of Kalusz and that
the Rusians had retired behind the
Lomnica line.
This is the situation which exists at
the moment these lines are written.
If the Austro -German counter -offen-
sive shall now make
good the
lite
of
the Lohinica, it is plain that the Rus-
sian offensive will come to a dead
halt. The Russian official statement
announces that more than 36,000 pris-
oners any many guns have been taken
since the general offensive of July be-
gan. A considerable slip of territory
between Bystritza and the Lomnica riv-
er has been taken and a number of
small towns have likewise been occu-
pied.
But all this is of minor consequence
if the Russian drive is over. 'Then it
will remain true, as I said last week,
that the moral rather than the military
value of the new Russian offensive will
be the important thing, We have now
to wait and see whether the Russians
can bring up fresh munitions and new
reserves and renew the attack south of
the Dniester or whether they will now
have to resign the offensive for the
time being, Before these lines reach
the reader the facts should be clear,
If, the Russians 'are still held up east
of the Loniica it is fair to conclude
that the Russian offensive south of the
Dniester is over foe the time being and
tlilt the Germans have succeded again,
as they succeded along the Stokhod
last year, in beating down a Russian
drive which threatened to dislocate the
whole front fnOm the Pripet Marshes
to the Carpathians.
LEMBERG THREATENED
Any further considerable advance of
the Russians westof the Lomnica river
will compel the Austrians and the Ger-
mans north of the Dniester to retire
behind the Gnila Lipa line. If this line
is turned there Is no good defensive
position east of Lemberg, and it seems
inevitable that the Austro Germans Wilt
have to evacuate the capital Galicia
agrtfn, but it must be remembered that

Dna S Face
is one of the toughest jobs a
razor is ever asked to handle;;
It's a job that needs a
Gillette��
Razor.
YOUR beard'grows its fastest in
the summer. Your face is
more sensitive. The sun
burns your skin ;. the wind cracks
it. Perspiration and dust settle
around the roots of the beard.
Then it is that the Gillette is
most appreciated. Guarded—
adjustable—matchless in its keen-
ness—it shaves smooth, as close as
'you like, and cool.' No pulling or
irritation — nothing but grateful
comfort, especially for the man
whose skin is over' -tender or whose
beard is over -tough. .
If you are gticking close to the
job this summer, a Gillette shave
every morning will make it easier.
If you're taking a vacation trip, a
Gillette in your grip will be a
friend indeed. -
Standard Sets, "Bulldogs" and "Arista.
crate" may be had dt any hardware,
