When Kelly arrived he investigated every available affiance, and decided action. Johnson was ono of the most dan- emus inewirs the city. Por years the authorities' had tried to invest their. suspicione with legal evidence. No- body doubted but what his immense wealth came from the most despicably illicit means known to the law. But to be suspicious was one thing and to "get the goods" ea the ceafty Johnson was another. Head of a syn- dieate of the worst. kind of crooks, Patsy's men reported that he lived and profited immensely upon the dovnfall of weaklings who fell under the evil influence of his subordinatee. Money rolled in to Johns,on from ev- ery part of the country—and it al- ways came in cold' eash. For the rea- son he found it not alone advisable but necessary to build the sunken vault.

ON INVAPEO SOIL, Our "Clontemptible Little Army': May Soon Re-enter Historic Mons, "Key to Fatherland," History is full of dramatic coinci- dences, and it may well be that, in the course of events, the British Arsny will once again find itself in the neigh- borhood of Mons, whence, in. the fate- ful Angust. of 1914, it was • falling back with all ppeed, to avoid being ex- terminated by a German army that was coming against it in the propor- tion of three to one. The very mention of Mons stirs the deepest chord in our being, for not alone in our minds is its memory im- perishably planted, but in our hearts, as holy ground, watered by the blood of the bravest of Britain's sons, and kept verdant by the dews of their heroism, which happily w,as not in vain. The Land of Shadows. The great army is going back the same way that the little army retreat- ed, says a London weekly. It has in front of it roads and villages whose names will live for ever in our na- tional story; roads and villages where high and smiling courage presided over Homeric combats, and the daunt- less spirit of the heroes who can no more hold up the German floodtide. With what burnind emotion will the new armies survey the scenes of that glowing epic! How the.tearts of all will thrill to pass through surround- ings, the very hedges of which bear witness to the great peril that became the great triumph! And as they move on it may seem that their task be- comes easier because the shades of the heroic dead are there to point the way. We are going back along the roads where French's tired and dusty little army never lost faith, although al- ways near to destruction. We shall reach the place where the guns at Le Cateau Tented, their challenge, and where, amidst fire and shell, with dead falling around them, the gunners con- tinued to serve their eighteen -pound- ers. Turning the Tables. , Our cavalry will one day stand where the 9th Lancers and the 18th Hussars .made their hopeless charge. They will ride thrqugh the hamlets where the Gordons and Munsters were thinned like chaff. At the thought of reaching such hallowed ground the imagination leaps, and the heart, in anticipation, prepares its most solemn homage. How the new armies will fight at Mons, with so much to repay, with the dyes of those who breathed their last on its brown roads upon them, and a look in them that seems to say: "We did our best, but we had no chance.. For our sake as well as your own, strike, and strike horim!" It is not such a far cry, having re- gard to the, map, to speak of Mons as a British objective. We are pushing across the plain of Douai towards the town itself, and front Douai to Mons is not more than forty miles. True, it is country every mile of which must be desperately defended by the Germans, if they are to avoid terrible disaster. But an army that has sealed the ridge of Vimy need not be deterred by any obstacles, how- ever formidable. Step by Step. "The "contemptible British Army," grown twenty to forty times in size, as compared with the little force which first stemmed the German on- rush towatde Northern France, slow- ly, but steadily, despite all opposition; will retrace its steps along the great avenue of invasion& where the best and bravest of our race, out -numbered and out -gunned, fought and died. Alas!. the great bulk of the original British Expeditionary Force lies dead under the, soil of Flanders or France, or because of injuries will never meet the shock of battle again. But there are Some who,survive, and they are fighting to -clay, and it is our hope that When, after the lapse of all these long and anxious months, the battlefield moves .once more to Mons, these sea- soned.vetrities shall be found in the vanguard. Just as Mons was the cradle of 'the issuds of the war, so IVIons, in. all like- lihood, may be its turning -point. For if Antwerie is a pistol pointed at the heart of England, Mons is a pistol pointed at the heart of Ger- many. An army' at Mons threatens Namur.

Cereal foods contain Protein, carbohydrates, fate, mineral flans and water. Protein builds the bodily thistles; carbohydrates (starches end sugars) furnish warmth and energy; fats supply warmth and mineral salts and water are necessary for the perform- ance of the bodily functions. There- fore it will be seen that the cereals are most vpluable foods. Oats is the richest cereal in protein end fats; wheat ranks second, and corn third. Rice contains very little fats, • Cellulose is also fond in cereals. It has no food value but is useful in aid- ing digestion. Long cooking of cereals is necessary because of the presence of cellulose. The starch, which is present in the grain, is enclosed in a cell-like structure, and long cooking is necessary to soften this cellulose eo that the digestive, juices may act upon the cooked starch. .

It is valuable for it mineral salts and it will 'furnish an attractive meal. To be good it should have a firm, well-developed head with fresh leaves, free from worm holes and decay. Always wash the cabbage well in plenty of cold water,•adding about two tablespoonfuls of sat. This will remove any insects that may be on the cabbage. Place the cabbage in boiling water to cook. Cover it closely and cook quickly until it is tender. Drain at once. If cooked slowly and left in the water, the cabbage will be tough and stringy. Overcooked ..cabbage is al- ways insipid and without flavor. Baked Stuffed Cabbage.—Select loose head of cabbage. Remove all discolored leeves, trim the stalk close to the .head and wash. Place the whole cabbage in a pot of boiling Wa- ter and boil until it can be pierced easily with a fork. Remove and plunge into cold water. DraM well and roll back the outside leaves. Re- move the center. Chop it fine, sea- son and add: one-half cupful of thick cream sauce, one-half cupful of bread crumbs, one teaspoonful of salt, one- fourth teaspoonful of pepper, one tea- spoonful of grated onion,. two tea spoonfuls of finely minced green pep- per. Mix and then fill into the head of cabbage. Return the leaves to cov- er the center. Place the cabbage on a greased pan and cover top with a thick cream sauce, then cove): with bread crumbs. Now sprinkle with finely grated cheese Laid then bake in a hot -even. for twenty-five minutes. Cut in quarters and serve with cream sauce. . Swedish Braised Cabbage.—Shred a head of cabbage fine. Wash in plenty of cold water. Drain, • place in a saucepan and then add one-half cup- ful of water and steam gently until the cabbage is tender. Now add: two teaspoonfuls of salt, one-half • tea- spoonful of white pepper, one tea- spoonful of grated onion, one-half cup- ful of ,sour cream. Heat until the cabbage is very hot. Serve with Wangles of toast. Alpine Baked Cabbage.—Wash and chop fine one medium-sized head -of cabbage. Cook until tender in boil- ing water. Drain and then grease a baking dish. Cover the bottom with fine bread crumbs. Place in a layer of the cabbage, seasSn slightly -with salt, paprika and a sprinkling of grat- ed cheese. Now put in a layer of bread crumbs, then the cabbage, until the dish is full. Pour over the cab- bage a thick tomato sauce. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and grated cheese. Bake in a hot oven for twenty-flve minutes. Serve in the dish with to- mato sauce made by rubbing through a fine sieve one cupful of stewed to- matoes, one cupful of Water and six tablespoonfuls of cornstarch, Cook until very thick and add: one large onion, grated, one teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of pepper, one well - beaten egg. This dish can be used in place of meat and will furnish a de- licious meal when combined with bak- ed potatoes, string. beans, december salad, stewed fruit and tea. WHAT WAR DID TO ROME PROGRESS OF WORLD PUT BACK EIGHTEEN CENTURIES. Barbarous Tribes Whose Notion of War Was "Frightfulness" Wrought Havoc. Rome in the days of Augustus was a city of more than 1,000,000 persons, and it did not have a single hospital. The city was built mainly of brick, with narrow, tortuous streets. But it had some broad and well -paved thor- oughfares, the fashionable avenue be- ing the famous Appian Way, which was the metropolitan terminus, so to speak, of one of the great military roads that radiated from Rome as a centre to all parts of the empire. The houses of the rich, and even those of the fairly well-to-do, were supplied with running water. No modern system of aqueducts surpassed that of ancient Rome, and the water was distributed to dwellings by un- derground pipes that furnished the fluid through lead pipe connections to tanks elevated on pillars at regular intervals along the streets, From these tanks lead pipes carried the wa- ter to the houses on either side, which were provided with faucets and basins like our bonzes of to -day. This in itself is a very interesting fact, because even two centuries ago there was no such adequate system of water supply for cities tinywhesp in the civilized world, In respect of dile important item of eivilizetioti, the de- struction of Rome by war put the world back about 1800 years, 'When ;Witte Metter flied vielted Alexantleirt lit Egypt, the occasion on which he was captured by the Creek therms of Cleopatra, be found there so complete MI Underground water - SUMO esrlaile thnt the city twined "hollow underneath," "All Madera Comeldencee."

An Irish Chaplain and a Famous Highland Soldier 13045 Answered "'Ile Last Call." He was the best -loved padre •on the western front—a fearless man who scorned bullets, and whose life was given over to ministering. to the fall- en, writes an'• Englisliwoman. When the Men.vvent out into Noelefan's-Land on that deadly business' known as an "advance "' he went, too. No one could hold him 'back. "Mother o' Go,d, 'tis he that leads the charmed life!" said the regiment of Irish Guards among whom he work- ed. And indeed hie was a charmed 111 e. Hail of shrapnel, patter of machine- gun bullets, thunder of howitzers and heavies—none of ,these mattered in the least to him. He escaped death by a miracle—a hundred. times. All over the world, on many a field of battle, for many long years he had been known .and honored. And it was on the battlefield that he fell at last, mor- tally wounded. He was bending over the body of an Trish guardsman, band- aging his wounds and cheering him. A thud, a sudden choking sound in the throat, and "That's my last call," breathed Father Simon Knapp as he fell forward. He died within a few minutes., "Sure we'll never have another padre his equal," said an Irish guards- man, who told me of the impressive funeral at the front when Lord ' de Vesci, adjutant of the regiment, laid the decoration of the Distinguished Service Order on his coffin. It was in London, hi Kensington, that I attended the solemn requiem sung for this great-souled padre. A party of Irish Guards were present and formed. a guard. of honor, with arms reversed. And the wives and mothers and sis- ters of soldiers he had helped were there, weeping the rOss 'of a very brave and, noble man. The church was crowded. "But 'twos the service on the battle- field that was more wonderful than this," I heard a soldier Whisper, "and 'twas on the battlefield the padre was evishin' his last call would come. 'For, boys,' he -would say, `I'd like to die alongside ye, flghtin' to the end.' " The Wooden Cross. It was in a remote part of the Highlands of Scotland not very long ago that I came across a little grave- yard, most of whose age -worn tomb- stones dated back to the fifteenth cen- tury. .. Several of the inscriptions were Poetical and crude—as used to be the fashion a hundred or so odd years ago, Tho faults of the departed, as well as -the virtues,. ever° set forth fax all the world to read. Here one could learn that bad temper and spitefulness had been the leading characteristics of the occupant of one grave, evhile near- by a paragon • of perfection lay, "mourned and lamented by all who knew him." But the small cross that caught my eye was of simple wood, and vas, new. It somehow seemed strangely out of place in that old-world graveyard, so I crossed over to read the inscription. It was scrawled in pencil, roughly: "The Last Call." Below was theomme of a very fam- ous soldier of a Highland regiment, a man who had won every decoration for gallantry that it is possible to win. For a moment I wondered that such a gallant and famous soldier. should lie in such a simple grave, with only a wooden cross to mark it. And then I remembered the story of his little Highland mother, who had crane all the way to - France, just to bring his body home for burial. She was far too proud to accept a penny for expenses, too jealous that any one else might want to share the honor of burying him. So she herself had erect, ed the little cross and inscribed the words on it, A wreath of white heather lay or the grass above the grave. And the rain and the damp had blurred the writing on the cross—or perhaps it was the mother's tears, who knows? And as I drew nearer I read some words written in much smaller 'writ' ing below "The Last Call." They were: "He answered it brave. ly, and ae a soldier." WOODLOTS AND THEIR VALUE. By Proper Utilization a Permanent Fuel Supply is Assured. Woodlots on the farms can be made an important factor In the relief of the threatened fuel shortage, Farm- ers and the residents of smaller towns and villages situated within hauling distance or woodlots, should, as a measure. of !practical patriotism, use wood in preference to coal. Few farmers realize the value of the crop which can be obtained from their woodlot. If even a small proportion of the attention given to other crops were devoted to the protection and im- provement of the "bush" a good finan- cial return could be secured, Aside from as value in affording protection against wind and storms, its impor- tance in the conservation of soil mois- ture and its aesthetic value, the wood - lot has a considerable value for the crops which can be harvested from it every Year at a minimum expense. It should have a place on every farin. Live stock should be excluded as they destroy the natural reproduction, Injure the larger trees and pack the soil so that the growth of the trees is retarded. Defectiveand diseased trees should bo removed first; then those of poor form, such as very crooked or very branehy ones which Interfere with the, growth of better - formed neighbors, . The trees of the less valuable -species such as dog- wood, ironwood and hornbeam should then be removed. Every effort should be made to Remo natural reproduc- tion, but, if that be impossible, plant- ing will be found profitable. The tendency has been -to encourage 6the growing of soft -w0000 suitable for , lumber, such as pine, spruce and ce- dar, but the function of a farmer's woodlot is better fulfilled by produc- ing hardwoods for fuel. The fuel value of one cord of sever- al ef the common kinds of wood is equal to , the following quantities of anthracite coal : Hickory and hard maple, 1,800 to 2,000 lbs. of coal; white oak, 1,540 to 1,115 lbs. of coal; red oak, black oak old bee* 1,300 to 1,450 lbs. of coal; poplar, chestnut and elm, 940 to 1,050 lbs. of coal; .pine, 800 to 925 lbs, of coal, Therefore, hardwood is worth, to the owner of the woodlot, from 46.00 to 09.00 per cord, as compared with coal at $10 per ton, plus the cost of hauling it out to his farm, It a yield is to be sustained pea manently, it should not exceed the On. nual growth, which, in unmanaged woodlots, probably does not exceed %, cord per acre. This proauctiern can be considerably increased by careful management. A woodlot may bo con• sidered as similar to a savings' bank aceouni from which the annual in. terest represented by the growth, may be taken out or allowed to ac- cumulate. In the case of the woodlot, however; the withdrawals ran lie so made as to greatly benetit the condl. tion of the stand and improve its pro- ductivity. The Dominion Forestry nroneh and the various provincial forestry organi. zations have done much to encourage farm forestry by supplying advice and assistance, Tho Dominion Govern. meat distributes annually between i,• 000,000 and 3,7511,000 seedlings and cuttings among the farmers of the prairie provieces. In Ontario, the . Forestry Breech of the 'Department of.
