TRENCH CANDLES
In his weekly letter to the Toronto
Globe, P. McArthr .gives the follow-
ing:—A boy, writing from "Somewhere
In France," has asked Joe to publish
the 'recipe for slaking trench candles.
Ile has found them such a comfort
and convenience that he wants other
boys to enjoy them also, Here are the
directions:
"Cut an ordinary newspaper into
strips a column wide. Place eight of
these strips evenly on one another
and start to roll them tightly. When
they are half rolled fold back three
of the strips so thatthe loose ends
os
Will be caught by the roil. Then roll
up as before until within six laches•
of the end, Next, fold back three More
in the same way, and continue the
rolling, This lets the work end with
two strips that can be pasted around
the roll with ordinary flour paste.
The next step is to boil the roll of
paper in paraffin for four minutes,"
When these rolls of paraffin soaked
paper have cooled they are as firm
as an ordinary candle, and 1 under-
stand that they will burn steadily,
with a strong smokeless flame, for
20 ntintiles or more. The soldiers
find them very serviceable for heating
soup, baked beans, stews, coffee, etc,
As they do not give ofl' any smoke they
escape the observation of the watch-
ful Buns. 1 understand that their
method of using then is to place three
together between a couple of bricks or

Abbreviated Street Lighting,
People living in the Niagara power
zone have been complaining because
the street lights are not turned on until
after six o'clock each evening, •thus oc-
casioning a certain amout of inconven-
ience. The explanation is that the
power for street lighting in all the
municipalities in this torte is supplied
by Hie Hydro Electric system, which by
reason of power supplied to munitions
factories, and the demand for house-
hold consumption, has a peakload to
carry from dusk until 0 o'clock, when
•t certain amount of relief comes from
the lessening of the factory demand.
The remedy is the diversion to Canada
of a reasonable amount of power gener-
ated on this side of the line, but now
sent across the border, thus slaking the
service to the Canadian people 0 first
claim upon the electricity generated
from Canadian waterpower. This is a
matter with which Sir Henry Drayton
aught to deal with effectively and with
out delay.
