Noiseless Window Shades Heavy' winds send the window shades flying out itito the room .and keep up such a noise that a lot of. people simply cannot sleep. Here's a way to stop the noise. Instead of attaching the shade fixtures to the window frame get a pair of blocks, as deep as the distance from the outer part of your window frames to the eetle edge of the top sash, Fasten. these to the top of the top sash.and then attach your fixtures to them. Then when you lower your window from the top the shade will come down, too, and there will be nothing to blow. MAG[ C REA •BAKING."4E`'i In'Na m. POWDER D THE mon. Mr. vizir Beeping.

This plan is favored by the powers of the Quad- ruple Entente, report has it, with the exception of Russia, whose officials say that they are willing' to give Po- land autonomy but not to go to the length of relinquishing sovereignty.

BRONCHITIS Was The Cause; The Cure Was DR. WOOD'S Norway Pine Syrup. Mrs. Garoct Burns, North Augusta, Out., writes: "I caught a dreadful cold, going to town, and about a:week after 1 because all choked up, and could hardly breathe, and could scarcely sleep at night for coughing. T went to the doctor, and he told me duet I was getting bronchitis. My husband went to the druggists, and asked them if they had a cough medicine of any kind that they could recommend. The druggist brought out a bottle of Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup; I started using it, and it com- pletely cured me of my cold. I cannot tell you how thankful I was to get rid of that awful .nasty cold. I shall always keep a bottle of Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup on hand, and I shall only ,be too glad to recommend it to all others." Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup is a remedy that has been on the market for the past twenty-five years, and we can recommend it, without a doubt, as being the best cure for coughs and colds that you can possibly procure. There are a lot of imitations on the market, so when you go to your druggist or dealer see that you get"Dr. Wood's;" put up in a yellow wrapper; three pine trees the trade mark; the price, 25c and 50c, The genuine is mauttfacttired by The T.

One of the most interesting bodies 01 women warriors Is the Serbian. or- ganization called the "Legion of Death," It is composed of women who have been trained in the use of firearms and the science of war, but who, in war -time, follow the army as pack -carriers, camp attendants, and even as trench -diggers and sappers,. where necessary. There are numei.- ous expert ride -shots among them, many, indeed, being quite capable of taking,rhen's places under necessity." The ".Legion of Death" is recruited' from all classes of women, from the wives of rich merchants and the wives and daughters of peasants. This 'Amazon corps had its origin in the patriotic enthusiasm of a woman' of sixty-two, whose husband died tot 'Serbia against the Turks. The wo- men handle the regulation rifles and are held in deadly fear by the Aus- trians and Germans.

BUELOW CARRIES gAnTurticr NO CONSCRIPTION TWE OLIVE BRANCH T1E NEWEST SAYS YON DONOP Visit of Diplomat to Switzer- land .Is 'Significant, BERNE NOW PEACE CENTRE Presence in Swiss Capital of Former Chancellor of Germany, and ,Also of Pain-'psentatives of Other Pearees Indicates That 'Berne Will Be Place of Peace Parleys: 11111 arrival of Prince von Buelow at Lucerne Is re- garded as an event or, transcendent importance, to which the press of Cen'• • tral Europe has suddenly awakened, says Andre Beaumont in a letter from Milan, Theer n al im e res - g p cion, despite official German denials, is that a foundation exists for the reports that Germany is seeking the possibility of opening Negotiations for an armistice, At any rate, von Buelow is allow- ing the Swiss press freely to present him as the bearer of an olive branch. The correspondent of The Secolo. states, after inquiring from reliable sources: "Von Buelow is doubtless entrust- ed with an extremely important mis- sion. The internal situation of Ger- PRINCE VON BUELOW. many and Austria is pressing bard on a large majority of the population. Tragic State of Affairs. ="Information from persons who have visited. Germany and .Austria, the evidenee of deserters and letters written by Germans to friends to Switzerland suggeet a tragic state of things. The people of Austria book upon the coming winter campaign with a feeling of horror. Milk, but- ter, petroleum, leather, fat, cotton, meat, and vegetables are rising to fabulous prices. "In Germany the misery of a large class of the people is great. Next year it will be greater. The armies will also dimilsb, and in the spring the Government will be obliged to call out the last reserve's, pressing into the service all bitherto discarded ieen, including the half -lame, blind, asthmatic, and diabetic. "And when this army has been sent to the firing line and saerificed, the question will he 'What then?' "Not all ,the Bulgarians .and Turks tailed to the rescue can then .cave Germany. It is better for her to try to obtain peace now while recent military sudcesses give her a basis upon which tobuild pretensions to favorable terms..' A significant fact is the sbarp de- cline ha the price of shares of Ger- man industries' connected with the war and the sudden rise of shares in Industries unconnected with the war. whittle points to a belief in Germany that von Buelow's alleged peace mis- sion will prove successful, It also ac- counts for the simultaneous reports of peace missions from all the neu- trai, capitals, including the Vatican. Germany has mobilized' all her see Bret influence among the neutral na- tions to create an atmosphere tavor- able to pease proposals. The unison. of voices, rising from The Hague, Berne, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Mad- rid,,New York, and Washington is re- markable. The sending of Countl6hrensvaerd to Berne as the representative of Sweden is considered a diplomatic event of the first order. His mission to Berne was primarily to organize a Pacific League of •Neutral States for, self-protection during the Euro- pean conflict, but soon afterwards the: rumor spread in Berne that he wet also grouping the neutral States with the object of offering themselves as mediators. Berne has suddenly come to be looked upon as an important diplo- matic centre. Turkey bas feltthe need of re-establishing her Legation In Switzerland, abolished years be- fore. .japan has appointed a Min- ister to Switzerland, and the latest report is that Bulgaria also is about to send a repreaentative. The correspondent of The Mento del Carlin of Bologna states that hints bave already been thrown out in official circles in 'Berne es to the terms upon wbicb Germany would be willing to accept peace negotiations. According to these rumors, Ger- many would agree to vyitbdraw her armies tram northern Il an ce and that IeI m" m and Poland in ould be created autonomous States. Germany would not ask for a war indemnity, but would only demand the restitu- tion of het lost colonies, the making of an international agreement as to the liberty of the seas and the signs ing of cemmeroial treaties in her favor, DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY This is a recent discovery of Doctor Pierce, who is head of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. k", Experiments at Doctor Pierce's Hospital for several years proved that there 18 0 othex eliminator of uric acid that can be compared to it. For those easily recognized symptoms of inflam- mation — as backache, scalding urine and frequent urination as well as sedi- blood has caused rheumatism, it is simply .wonderful how surely eAnuric" acts. The best of results are always obtained in oases of acute rheumatism in the joints, in gravel and gout, and invariably the pains and stiffness which so frequently and persistentlyaccom- pany the disease rapidly disappear. Go to your nearest drug store and simply ask for a 50 -cent package of tiAnurio," manufactured by Dr. Pierce, or send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce for a large trial package. If you suspect kidney or bladder trouble, send him a your cam le ofwater p and describe symptoms. Doctor Pierce's chemist will examine it, then Dr. Pierce will report to you, without fee or charge.

Swiss merchant who has just re- turned from Berlin confirms what al- ready has been said several times re- garding'life in the German. capital, at first sight appearing quite normal, but afterward, especially to biose who have been there before, showing many and obvious symptoms of being' very different from ordinary times. Business is at a standstill, traffic has enormously decreased, no building is being done,' comparatively little male labor is employed, and there le an le - creasing number of women workers. All these and many other signs tes- tify to abnormal conditions. Never- theless, the Berlin population stirs is very optimistic, and any one sitting in a frequented cafe of an evening may often bear the words, "We are Invincible." If the English are men- tioned it a sure sign for the clench- ing of fists and the raising of voices, which immediately become harsh. The conclusion is always the same: "We must get to Calais." Calais, says the Swiss merchant, Is still 'the German goal, and the French, Russians, Serbians, and Ital- ians hardly count in the war,being considered as merely temporary enemies. The detested, abhorred, hereditary and permanent enemy still is England. "There' is more joy in Berlin over one Englishman killed than over ten thousand Ressians made prisoners," This ex -plains the popularity of the submarine warfare and of Zeppelin murders, these being German's sole weapons for hitting direct at Eng- land, although in certain quarters it is the opinion that the submarine warfare is in reality injuring her memo than England.

Sir Stanley leas the misfortuneto belong to au old German family. One of its most conspicuous members is Stanley's cousin, the Prussian gen- eral, Hans von Donop, for several years grand master Of the household to the Kaiser's brother-in-law, Prince Frederick Leopold of Prussia, inspector -general of the cavalry of the Germany army. General Flans von Doeop, since the beginning of the present was, has been command- ing a division of German cavalry in Fran. Geceneral Sir- Stanley von Donop is a son of the late Vice -Admiral von Donop of the British navy, in a bro- ther of Lieut, -Col. Pelham von Don - op, chief Government. inepeetar of railroads, and joined the Royal Ar- tillery 35 years' ago, the Only active service which he bas seen having been in the Boer war• Before be- coming master -general of the ord- nance he was for several years di- rector of artillery at the War De- partment. It is undoubted that elenerajyon Donop would have been forced to resign several months ago but for one thing: Lord Kitchener vouched for him. The Secretary of War has no stronger friend and no more. loyal supporter than Sir Stanley von Donop, and when it, was hinted thrpughout Britain that Lord Kitch- ener would resign rather than forego the support and experience of his Master of Ordnance, the agitation was quickly dropped. • Cotton and Explosives. Some striking facts regarding cot- ton in its relationship to the menu- fa.cture of high explosives were re- cently given by Sir William Ramsay. In the first place it should be explain- ed that guncotton 18 really cotton Waste, carefuly cleaned, combed, and dried, soaked in one part nitric acid to three parts sulphuric .acid. It is afterwards dried and pressed into cakes. Itis employed in the Navy in both a wet and drycondition, the former, with thirty per cent. of water added, being much' safer to handle, Sir William Ramsay points out that there 1$ no adequate substitute for cotton for propulsive ammunition. Otber substances have been tried wood, hemp, straw, and other mater sal with woody fibres. But they leave not the propulsive power of :cotton.. To propel as far with woody mater- ials would need a larger charge,. which would entail the enlargement of the barrel of every gun and rifle, The expenditure of ammunition in this war is unprecedented, At a con- servative estimate, Germany requires 1,000 tons of cotton a day. A whole bale of cotton is required to tire one of their biggest guns, or for every 80,000 rounds of rifle ammunition. Theo t ta! `cotton C stocks in Germany at the outbreak of the war was esti- W mated at 250,000 tons, This would have carried on the war for 25.0 days, or about eight t months, had cotton, in theopinion of ex evts, been made contraband at the beginning of the war, Fall Rye.
