Among the myriads of ways in which the English people try to re- pay a little of the gratitude owing to their soldiers, and not the' least trifling, is that chosen by the' workers who have charged themselves with the duty of meeting the trains of wounded at main stations to convey the broken soldier in comfort and security to a hospital. - They call themselves the London, Ambulance Column, and they owe their existence to the fact that when the war. broke out few means :for tak- ing soldiers to hospitals were avail able. When the' first train of wounded and sick from the front arrived in London the whole of the transport' facilities. at the command of the Column were two motor ambulances and a couple of private motorcars lent by their ' own- ers. The wounded,. other than those exceedingly I bad fi Y cases,which the mo- tors dealt with, were taken in stores carts to various hospitals. So the organizers of the,Column borrowed vehicles and were presented with others until at present they have 110 private cars at their disposal and fifty ambulances, which have been presented to them. - Many cars are driven and kept in repair by the owners themselves, and they also undertake to supply all the petrol necessary for their running! other owners have lent their cars and humble circumstances, who rose to their chauffeurs to the Column, while ;honor and distinction by his own still other cars are lent without driv_ merit and endeavor and who re- ers. =tined, in spite of that distinction, The entire ambulance transport of unspoiled, a kind-hearted, modest, the London district is in the hands of genuine man to the end, "L.

A recent report by George A. John- son, water supply expert, exposes some very interesting facts respect- ing water filtration. The great bene- fits and, in many cases, the urgent necessity of filtering the water sup- plied to communities is clearly re- cognized, but its vital importance can only be realized by a thorough investi- gation, supported by the convincing data contained in this paper. The figures given are for the United. States, but with due regard to Propor- tion, apply with equal force to Canada, Mr. Johnson states that if the urban population of the United States were supplied with filtered or equally pure water 3,000 lives would be saved 6n - smelly and 45,000 cases of typhoid fever prevented, representing in vital capital some $22,500,000 annually, or the interest on an investment of $375,- 000,000.

Wheat -growlers- in Egypt Traced Rack to 9359 B.C. The statement that"wheat will end the war" may need qualification, for there are other factors; but the as- sertion hold's much truth, Wheat, in the form of bread, is absolutely ne- cessary toeach of the nations engag- ed in the present war, Japan exclud- ed. There are no substitutes "just as good." There is evidence that the Chinese cultivated wheat nearly 5,000 years ago,regarding itas a direct gift from heaven. „The Egyptians attributed it to their god, Isis; the Greeks to Ceres. Concerning the latter, it was believed that when she had taughtther favor- ite, Trtptolemus, how to till the soil and make bread, she gave bins her chariot, and it that he traversed, the world, distributing corn to all nations. Wheat -growing in Egypt can, by the evidence of a grain found imbedded in the brick . py mid, be traced back to 3959 B.C. Varieties of wheat are legion, A French firm in their trial seed grounds had over six hundred varieties grow- ing, and since then "crossing" has in- creased the number.
