Hints for the Home.
Nerve specialists now realize that
weakness <if will is clangeroue to
health. • ,
Salt in the oven placed over the
baking plates will prevene the pas-
try from scorching at the bottom.
To help to purify the air of a 'AA
room place a bowl 'of clean water in
the room, and ohauge it every day.
A paste of common baking -soda
and water spread on a burn will
stop -the pain and inflammation al-
most; immediately.
Skim milk, warmed,is a splen-
did cosmetic lee the skin, Bathing
the skin with warm milk prevents
it from getting rough in gold
weather.
When using velvet remember that
it must never be pressed flat on a
tableewith an iron. It should be
held in the hands, and the iron
passed gently, over it on -the wrong
side,
After inserting tape in petticoats
or 'blouses always tack the tape- in
the -centre of, the back or front,eae-
cording to the way in which 'the
garment opens, to prevent the aide
of the tape from slipping hack ,into
the easing out of reach.
Scientists have discovered that
disease germs quickly die when
they come in contact with the or-
dinary floor covering known as
linoleum. This is thought to be
due to the disinfectant pro,perties
of linseed oil which is found in lino-
leum.
To prevent woollen garments
from shrinking hang them out on
-the line quite wet. They should on
no account be wrung in any way.
'Simply take them from the water
and hang them out as they are, be-
ing careful not to pull 'the garment
out of shape with the pegging.
Have you eVer looked under a
window -sill? If !so, you have pro-
bably noticed that there is. a nar-
row groove running right aleng un-
cleretea,th it. When it rains the wa-
ter finde its way under the window-
sill, and when it. comes to the
groove it drips off ab once. This
prevents the walls of the building
from .becoming soaked'.
Narrow Escape Repudiated.
A tourist, travelling in the Rocky
Mountain's, was introduced to an
old hunter who elairn,s to have kill-
ed no lower than 100 bears.
"Bill," said the introducer, "this
fellow wants to hear some narret
escapee you've had from bears."
The old man, rubbing his eyes,
looked the stranger over and said:
"Young man, if there's been any
narrer escapes, bhe beans had

Which against trenehee, even after
iberopla,ne,reeenneissance, requires
,considerable expenditure of am-
munition, and when, it is rerniembier-
ed that the trench itself is not much
more than a yard or so wide it will
be realized -that for every three or
four shell's which burst in the
trench there are a vast, nuerther
which explode before it or behind
it.
The need foe heavy shell expendi-
ture against t.renehee is already
great, but it will become mere urg-

lery will have not the fixed target

Against moving infantry, unless
it is' 'advancing ha close fo-rmation,
regulated fire is a matter of sonic
difficulty. Infantry which finds it-
self between the Arse shell- which
has burst behind them and the
short shell which has burst in front
of eltem do not await the avalanche
which is -to follow, but rush rapid-
ly forward beyond the first ehort
shell, where they fling themselves
to the ground under what coker
they can find. The artillerymen
know that ethey are -somewhere in,
the neighborhood, and to begin
again the fir de, reglage• would only
be, a lots of time, eo that the only
thing foe the artillery to do is to
shorten its range by 100 yards or en
and sweep with shrapnel the Whole
of the zone where they imagine the
enemy's infantry to be.
A battery of "75" guns fires no
lees than eighty shells a min -'ate,
and it is only with rapid, intense
fire that the shrapnel fragments
can sweep a, whole 0011Iltrysidie and
break the enemy'l attack, The
same thing appliee when the artil-
lery is' taking part in sin offensive.

ta,ek.
The Idea.
Many are the -changes that have
been wrung on the etolen-umbrella
joke, and a fresh ,one has been
printed in the Teeler.
On the notice hoard in an Ips-
wich reading room there recently
appeared the following appeal:
"Will the gentleman who took- a
horn-ha,ndled umbrella hone the
stand on Wednesday kindly return
it to the librarian?" Soine . one

rANADA'S pioneer
•-•' 'sugar refiner was
John. Redpath, who in
1854 produced "Ye Olde
Sugar Lostfe"— the first
sugar "made in Canada".
Redpath Sugar has been growing
better and more popular ever since.
When there seemed no further room
for improvement in the sugar itself,
we made a decided advance by introe
duCing the AffOit Sealed Cartons,
These completed a series of individual
packages -2 and 5 lb. Cartons and
10, 20, 50 and 100 lb. Cloth Bags—
which protedt the sugar from Refinery
to Pantry, and ensure your getting the
