The modern French carrier pigeon is a cross -between the bleat and the Belgian "traveler," the Prevailing type is large, with, a long body, 0iead, : neck and ' beak. Birds chosen for swift work are fed on wheat, but when they are to be put to tests of endurance their dietis small dried beans and maize with water that contains iron. Training begins when birds aro three or four months old. They are -placed in baskets, taken a mile or so from home, and liberated, A few days later the process is repeated at a greater distance, and so on in succes- wtve stages, until a bird flies home- pvard 100 miles or more. At five menthe it will fly 300 miles in ten hours. A pigeon, however, is not at Ats beat until four or five years cid, 'when It can easily cover 600 or 700 mattes. The average speed of a good smarter is twenty miles an hour, and Mite height at which it flies is from 493 -to 500 feet. A MINISTER'' I NITERESTI\ G DThCOVERY Fruit Basket -aa iseam. An interesting game for indoors is called fruit basket. As many players as like can play. They all sit in a circle with a player standing in the centre, who gives each player•a name of some kind of fruit. Tben.he calls out some two names of fruits, These two exchange places while the player in the centre tries to get either one of the places' of the other persons; no matter which place the gets, the other. continues the game by starting all over again.

Doan's Kidney Pills are a special kidney and bladder medicine for the cure of all kidney troubles. Mrs. Louisa Gonshaw, 683 Manning Ave., Toronto, Ont., writes: "I take great pleasure in writing you, stating the benefit I have 'received by using Doan's Kidney Pills. About three years ago I was terribly afflicted with lame back, and was so bad I could not even sweep the floor. • I was advised to try your pills, and before I had used one box there was a great improvement, and my back was much better. However, I kept 'on tailing them until my back was completely cured. I highly recommend 'Doan's' for lame back." Doan's Kidney Pills are the original pill for the kidneys.

Major-General Sir Sam from writing aagood bulletins in Canada as Na- poleon Bonaparte did in Egypt is that there are no pyramids in this country to tack them to. Nothing less than pyramids could serve as a background for some of Sir Sam's prodigious state- ments. , For example, he told a Toronto audience the other day that he had furnished the British War Office with a recruiting scheme which would set the pace' for the world. Perhapsit will, Perhaps he did. No doubt the scheme is commensurate with the genius whom Lord Roberts character- ized as the greating Driving Force in history and if acknowledgments have not already been made by the British War Ocoee it is probably through fear of the Germans overhearing the scheme and adopting it as their own.

For Canada, he said, the estimated value of the total War orders either already placed or coming was close to half a billion, or over sixty:doliars per head of population. These orders, with the great harvest of this year, should spell industrial prosperity for the Dominion for some time to come.

DISEASES 'OF THE NERVES Are Due to Poor Blood and Only Curable Through the Blood There, is an excellent reaeo•i why. Dr, Williams' Pink Pills have cured the most severe cases ;of neuralgia;, sciatica and other coni - plaints the group known as des orders' of the nerves. This group also: included nervousness and ex- citability. Each of these earn - plaints exists because the ner,'es are' not getting a proper nour- ishment from the blood. The rea- son why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ,cure nervous disorders is because they, make, the rich, red blo.od up- on which the nerves depend for propel tone. It is thus seen that Die Williams' 'Pink Pills cure nerv- outr disorders because they go to the root of this trouble ub in tim blood, and while they are doing this they strengthen and forary tiro whole system against disease. Among, the many who have 'found relief fr m pain throughh this g:e a medicine is Miss Ethel Smith rem siding near Burford, Ont who says, -"Some years ago I was eel' - eci with a great vim in my right lege between the hip and knee.

In fact, Sir Sam's high hopes, Jubilantly ex- pressed, let ham down a peg or two with the hard-headed Britons. The trouble wag that Sir Sam did not go into details. °'Ile is a great announcer, but a poor explainer, as; the present position of the Shell Com- mittee indicates. Sir Sam announces that it is all right, that it is the best Shell Committee that ever was, but he does not explainvwhy -three dis- passionate observers, in the person of D. A. Thomas and two ammunition experts from Great Britain, are lay- ing hands on it to reorganize it and squeeze out the excessive profits. The Ottawa Citizen has shown that in one item alone, the "machining of the shells, it had been the practice of the manufacturers at one time to charge sive times as much as it cost in Great Britain, that even now it costs three times as much, and that manufactur- ers who would do it for only half as much are not allowed to have a look fn, In. fact there has been so much "velvet". in shell orders handed out in Canada that at, least one contract - hog which had bitten off more than it could chew found it could sub=let w manufacturers in the United States and still come out with a sultan's ransom in the way of profit. Which was done accordingly. Such transactions are in line with the experience of the small arms manufacturers in the United States, who, it is alleged, had agreed on a price of twenty-five dollars per thou- sand rounds of the standard cartridge but were told to charge twenty-seven dollars and invoice the goods at hasyet to be ' t -five This story tlur y denied. At all events there is or has been enough excess profit in munition manufacturing in Canada and specu- lation in war stocks for the Finance Minister to confiscate say nine -tenths of it in the way of taaes. No patriot will ask to make more than ten per cent. net, particularly in times when so many other people are making no- thing. As a matter of fact, if he is a real patriot, he ought to be satis- fied to clear expenses and make no money out of the Empire's agony, but perhaps that would be too much to expect of human imperfection. Mean- while it is up to the Government either to insist on a small legitimate profit for the munition makers or to tax their excess profits back into the Dominion Treasury and help to pay off our war debt to England that way, Sir Sam announced the other night that one hundred and seventy thou- sand men had been enlisted in Can- ada, but that equipment and training were at least fifteen thousand men behind the schedule. This partly explains Sir Sam's discouraging statement that two men were offering for every one needed, but it does not explain why the equipment got so far behind that thousands of men are drilling without uniforms. There are, of course, several complete and satis- factory explanations, but not one of dom it will be a great miracle but not as great as the one already accom- plished. That Great Britain should have raised by the voluntary system an army of three million men, prac- tically one fighter out of every elig- ible two, is the outstanding wonder of the war. Sam's plan will have to go some to beat it. What is this plan of Major-Gen- eral Sir Sam's? Ah there's the mys- tery. It can't be conscription, be- cause Sam doesn't believe in that -at least for Canada. Conscription in Canada would make the war very un- popular with a great number of peo- ple who helped to elect the Borden Government,, so the Major-General takes no chances when he says it won't be done. But would Ise try it in Great Britain? The hope is ex- pressed that he would not, because a' plan like that shows no particular contrivance, is net original, and is no measure of the Major -General's con- structive ability. Whatever the plan is it's a record - breaker -that can almost be .taken for granted. If the British War Of- fice has not already adopted the Major -General's plan it is probably because it promises too much. Sir Sam is nothing if not sanguine, and the British War Once knows that. It is the one failing in a great man, and though it leans to virtue's side it frequently comes into conflict with the statistics. When Sir Sam was over in England this summer he made the statement that Canada could furnish a 011111on and a half men if necessary. Perhaps it could, especially if Sir Sam's plan -which mark you is not conscription -were followed, but it looked almost too good to be true, and it started the Englishmen figuring. Even after subtracting the half million Sir Sam might expect to come over from the United States and enlist; and leaving Canada wtih a scant million to pro vide, 0 1 seehow Sam was they couldn't them to get t em in a country of eight million people, of whom a con- siderable proportion were old men and infants, women and children, and ineffectives, not to mention those who might have to stay s a at home to keen the *heels turning.

Old Weapons in Modern War. Very interesting is the reversion to ancient conditions of warfare. In Spain's recent war with the Moors, stones were slung very much in the same way as the Romans slung them at the Carthaginians 2,000 years be- fore. In the Bulgarian capture of Adrianople, herds of cattle were driv- en in front of the attackers' line, just as the Swiss did in the Middle Ages And now, in the trench warfare, the French have found that knives are much more handy weapons at close quarters than bayonets, and, going still further along the same path, have reintroduced the casque or steel helmet, the morion endeared to us all by "Marmion" and many a dashing tale of wars fought long ago. Shields, too, have for some months past played their part in English trenches, while on the Italian front- ier recourse has been had to that old- est of all weapons -the teeth. .- HALF THE ILLS OF LIFE Are Caused 93(CONSTIPATION. When the bowels become constipated the stomach gets out of order, the liver does not work properly, and then follows the violent sick headaches, the sourness of the stomach, belching of wind, heart- burn, eartburn, water brash, biliousness, and a general feeling that you do not care to do anything. Keep your bowels regular by using Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills. They will clear away all the effete matter which collects in the system and make you think that "life is worth living." Mr. B. W.
