HUNS 1'•t.LAGED ST. QUENTIN. Vandalism Assigned to Officers and Soldiers of Two Ger"plan Regiments. The Germans, according to the French claims, not only deliberately • caused the fires'that have partially rained the beautiful and famous cathe- dral of St. Quentin, but pillaged the city before they set fire to a part of it. The vandalism is laid to' the door of •officers and soldiers of the 11Gth and 117th Regiments of the Twenty-fifth German Division, and, more or less directly to the commanders of those snits respectively. Colonel Gjing,' Colonel Metz and General von Schaer- �fenstein, who are charged with having ordered a systematic pillage of St. Quentin as soon as they entered the city. Officers, with soldiers to do the heavy work, went about the city, it wes -asserted, and carried off furni tune, silverware, pianos and valuable pictures and shipped them to Ger many, They even took safes filled with valuables and did it openly, ing their loot on to vans in midday.' One officer' and a number of soldiers; Were observed, it is said, as they at- I tempted to steal strong boxes from the bank. The pilaging troops worked under orders to establish a depot for loot on the route to Cambrai, where "finds" fromt , arnous towns were concentrat- ed. The soldiers received instructions to take anything they pleased or that looked valuable, and in consequence have "cleared out" the city of St, Quentin as well as countless smaller places. Numberless men on furlough are said to have gong back to their homes laden with loot. Nohas money been overlooked in the vandal hunt. One soldier of the 116th Regiment is supposed to have uncovered 30,000 francs and to have appropriated it, while smaller sums are missing from a number of homes. 'To -day there remains in St. Quentin homes only old, broken and worthless furniture. Everything .of value has been carried away, The famous petroleum springs of Greece, described by a historian four centuries before Christ, are to be ex- pipited by local capitalists after being regarded mei'eiy as curiosities tot mere than 2,300 years. Hard to Drop Meat? All depends on what you eat as a substitute. It is a good time to study "food value." You may be eating the wrong foods, the *foods that cost n ost and give the least nutriment.

CANADA AND THE WORLD'S SUPPLY OF WHEAT It was with considerable satisfac- tion that readers in all Allied coun- tries received the statement made a short time ago by the Instituto of Ag - I rlcullure at Rome, that 1917 had seen an increase in the wheat crop of the principal countries of the world, out- side of the Central Powers, of 3,3 per cent, over 1016. These figures were based on returns from Spain, France, Scotland, Ireland, Switzerland, Cana- da, the United States, India, Japan and Algeria, which countries are this year estimated to show a total wheat production of 1,665,448,030 bushels. At the same time these same coun- tries show an increase In their barley crop of 2,4 per cent; an increase in their rye crap of 10.7 per cent; an increase in their oat. crop of 19.9 per cent. and an increase in their corn crop of 25.3 per cent. That such in- creases should be possible among na- tions, ations, most of whom are engaged in war, is in itself a tribute to the pro- ductive energy of manhood. The enormous total of 1,665, 448,000. bushels of wheat is so great that it refuses to be grasped by the human mind witheut some units of compari- son. If this crop of wheat were load- ed into freight cars, 1,000 bushels to the car, and each car occupied forty feet of the railway track, It would re- present one solid loaded train 12,617 miles in length—more than enough to reach half way round nd tbe world at the equator, These loaded q oars,without engines, would occupy seven eighths of the entire trackage of the Canadian Pacific Railway, known as the world's greatest transportation company. There is, however, another point of view, and a very appropriate one at this particular period, when the agri- cultural countries are called upon to produce the utmost pound of food. While the countries mentioned have done well their accomplishment shrinks into insignificance when com- pared with their possibilities. For instance, the three Canadian provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alber- ta could produce three times the total wheat crop above referred to! This statement may seem extravagant un- til submitted to the test of cold figures. Then we get data like this :. According to the Government of Canada there are in the provinces mentioned the folic .;ing areas suit- able for agricultural purposes : Manitoba 14,216,000 acres Saskatchewan 93,459,000 " Alberta 105,217,000 " 272:S32,300 " The average wheat crop in these provinces for the last `ten years has been: Manitoba, 18.20 'bushels per acre; Saskatchewan, 18.44 bushels per acre; Alberta, 20.19 bushels per acre, The average for the three pro- vinces is therefore practically 19 bushels per acre. If you multiply the Available acreage, as given above, by 19, you will find that these provinces, if entirely cultivated„ are capable of producing in an. average year 6,184,- 948,-000 bushels of wheat—consider- ably niece than three times the total which is being produced this year, 1917, by Spain, France, Scotland, Ire- land, Switzerland, Canada, United States, India, Japan and Algeria com- bined, The single province of Alberta can produce as much wheat as all of r, Save In the Use Of Wheat By eating is pc -N is All the food value of the grain is used in snaking this delicious food ; and its b'l'end of halted barley not only adds to its nou- rishing qualities but produces a flavor of unusual richness.

These figures may he interesting generally for the groat comparison whiell tboy afford, but they meet also Carry the conclusion that the world is a very long way from having' exhaust- ed its 'food producing " Iloeeibilities, Any scarcity of food production which inay now exist is tracsable almoet entirely to an improper distribution of population. In the older countries population is compelled to exist on such limited areas that production on a relatively large scale is impossible, whereas in the newer countries such as Western Canada the population is es yet totally insufficient to bring the country louder cultivation. These are conditions which will doubtless right themselves; in tact, the process of correction is going on very rapidly, and, whatever difficulties may be ex- perienced in feeding the world during the next few years, there can be no question that they will be salved as soon as sufficient population• is found for the great open plains which are still awaiting the husbandman. NERVOUS AILMENTS Few people realize that nervous ailments often arise from digestive troubles. The stomach fails, for some reason, to digest food properly. Then the system languishes and the nerves boeome exhausted in striving to con- tinue their work. Impure blood also causes nerve troubles, but frequently it is in the stomach where the mis- chief starts. As the nourishment is carried to the nerves by the blood, it will be seen what an important con- nection exists between the stomach, the nerves and the blood, and how such troubles as nervous headaches, nervous dyspepsia and insomnia may begin. In such cases relief is easily obtain- able by means of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills replenish the blood with the food elements on which the nerves thrive; at the same time they exercise a tonic influence on the di- gestive organs, enabling the systemto derive nourishment from the food tak- en. By this perfectly natural nervous ills are steadilydispelled A by Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. If you, are suffering from nerves, or require a blood -making tonic, give these pills a fair trial, and see how speedily the best of health will be yours.

Canadian Surgeon Says Men Shot Through the,Brain Often Recover. "It is surprising and ;pleasing to know that a large percentage of men shot through the brain recover," is a statement made by Colonel F.

The missile had entered the temple and emerged at the back of the skull, fracturing the bone both at the point of entry and exit. His heavy breathing and stupor told us the case called for immediate re- lief. In the operating room pieces of the skull were removed, the depressed bone lifted, and in about an hour the patient was taken back to his ward. We had little hope of his recovery.

When your faithful dog pokes his "nose into your hand even your• affec- tion cannot prevent a little shiver, be- cause the nose is so cold, Why is it? When the body, of a dog is so warm, why should this one spot be different from all the rest of him? The cold- ness of a dog's`aose is due to the fact that it must be kept moist all the time in order tt sharpen his sense' of smell. And, of course, as 'the moisture is evaporating all the time, it ]seeps his nose cold.
