So saying, he clapped his hands and 'the young soldier was led away to his death, "Turning to Ping, the mighty war lord said, 'and you. Ping, do you .doubt my story?' To which his adviser re- plied, 'Sire, if the rat had been an elephant, and the bottle a love philtre, still would 1 believe the words of my master.' And he was richly rewarded." Finnish Boy Is Interpreter After ouly six weeks in Canada, Caino Kulmala, a 7 -year-old Finnish boy who, when he arrived, knew not n single word of English, recently helped his mother out .of a difficulty' by acting as interpreter, Caino's father `tad been unable to find work in Canada so his mother is working to keep them nil, and Caino and his white-haired brother spend their days at the Day Nursery in Belmont Park. Mrs. Kulmala is saving up her dollars to take her boys back to Finland be- cause she fears their education here will be hampered by their language and their father's inability to find work, She wanted to talk ' to the Nursery superintendent about this but found her English inadequate, so Caino stepped into the conversation and translated. Caino's is only one of the many na- tionalities represented in the Day Nursery, which soon is to razed to make way for the new Canadian Na- tional Railway station. For twenty- five years the building has been in nee, and so dependent on it for the caer of their children have some wo Men become that they have gradually moved their homes nearer to the nursery. During July and August the aver- age number of children a day was 90, and some days the number went np to 112. Five thousand meals were served during May, exclusive of the staff. No plans are made yet as to where the children will be cared for after the demolition of the home, but the Board of the Federated Charities be- lieve that the growth of the city de- mands at least two nurseries, one on the northeast and the other in the centre of the ity. Lady Allan put her grounds at Ravenscrag at the disposal of the nursery, and throughout the summer, twice a week, picnic parties have been taken there. For five years Henry Gatehouse and Son have conveyed the children to Ravenscrag every Monday, and the Shedden. Company, through the Undress of Hugh Paton, have e childrenevery th eve Y Friday. . Donations of money for these picnics have been made by Mrs, 1. W. i{illam, Mrs; T. Mollutchinson and Mrs, W. B. Mathewson. Mrs, Wellington Dixon, on the board of the Nursery since 1000, has been president for 16 years.

They supply the necessary oxygen to tho blood, increase the blood count and renew waning vigor.

When Dearth Means Prosperity Vancouver Sun (Lib.): Wheat -grow- ers are jubilant. The price of wheat is soaring; many farmers who had a very dark outlook are now expeting a prosperous harvest. And why? Be- cause . . . the wheat crop is be- low normal. Bad weather conditions have cut down the expected yield. Hence price sure going up. Industry strives for the greatest possible pro- duction. Agriculture 1s compelled to point the other way. A time of plenty is apt to be a time . of hardship. A time of dearth is apt to mean pros- perity. Right there is a "farm prob. lem" worthy of a good deal of atten- tion. The Young Plan New York World: The Young plan is realistic if one overlooks the un- realities of French policy which are its premise. But the British, as we now can see, are striking at the un- real premises. They are insisting on an end of French diplomatic privilege in European affair's, and in this insist- ance they have set their feet on a path which, though difficult, dangerous and inconvenient, leads to a final liquidation o fthe war.

On Sunday morning the crew gets The best sealing trip 1 ever made was in the Bonaventure, my first steel vessel. The details of it gan go for the other sealing trips, too, We start- ed out against a 60 -mile wind, taking waves clean. over the bridge. In. na time the ship was one solid block of ice. Next day we reached calm water under the weather edge of the ice, For a while we made good progress through leads in the ice, but finally were jammed, We had to resort to •all the old tricks—putting out men to break trenches in the Ice with axes and dynamite, backing, and charging with our armored prow. And so at ;last we got through to Inc where lay a great patch of seals. Imagine your- ' self in Central Park surrounded by !thousands of sheep and new-born Ilambs. This is what it looked like. I put four crews -234 men—on the Inc. They began killing and panning the seals, knocking them on the heads with a gaff, removing the snips or pelts, and hauling them to markers. Markers are colored flags, like golf flags, stuck in the ice at each pile of sculps, so that the ship can come to pick them up. The crews killed some 8000 seals that first afternoon—all young ones, because the "white -coats" are the sealer's 'first choice. For three full days the work went on from daylight to dark. On the fourth day a furious gale sprang up, with blinding snow and freezing weather, and only by the greatest labor did we salvage 26,6000 of the pelts scattered on the ice pans. But that was the biggest catch, except one last year, ever brought in from the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Sealing is a hard life. Men on board a sealer are jammed like sardines. Going out, every available bit of space is filled with coal, ice -lighting equip- ment, sealers' chests and gear. If we get a quick "pick-up," many of the men are "burned out" by a big cargo of skins, which takes up their bunk space, and they've got to double up in already crowded quarters. There is some relief in the watches, 'when one man is out and another can use his berth. A sealing ship carries provisions for two months and a half—potatoes, cod- flah, flour, meat, tea, and molasses to brant whatever. .0.,,„f PHILLIPS ,y.0f MAGA, 0 S For Troubles due to Acid ismoeST,GN ACID STOMACH HEARTBURN HEADACHE OASE'S•NAUSEA tP When Pati Come.c What many people pall indigestion less alkali in water will neutralize in. very open means excess acid in the stantly many times as much acid, and stomach.

When we get among young seals we boil or fry the seal meat. With onions and butter, 1 like it better than porterhouse steak and in the North it prevents scurvy. Each man leaving the ship has on his back's "nunny" bag, in which he carries an orange or two to quench his thirst, some raw oatmeal mixed with sugar, a few hard biscuits, and a piece of seal or pork, This is his grub for a day on the ice. A sealer must be quick and careful in his work. Every hole in a skin costs a man ten cents. A skillful worker can skin a seal in a minute, and a.man who can kill, skin, and pan —that is, haul the pelts to a marker - 120 in a day is a good hand. One of the hardships of sealing is ice or snow blindness. Although all men carry goggles, and are lectured and threatened with punishment if they don't wear them, they are often 'careless. They raise their glasses, perhaps, to wipe the sweat out of their eyes and forget to pull them down again. Then, before they real- ize their danger, they are blind. I don't know of any worse sensation. IIt is like having sand thrown in the eyeballs. Water runs out of the eyes. With a good, dose of it, men have al- most become insane. Then, again, there is the danger of falling into the water when a long dis- tance from the ship. Here is a sealer who has slipped into the water. He has "gone down till his cap floated" and he is soaking wet. Ills "buddy" bas fished him out with a gaff. A gale of wind is blowing --freezing weather and no shelter. But he has to get those wet clothes off or have them freeze on him as stiff as the pillar of Lot's wife. The two seek the biggest pinnacle of ice, and in the lee of it the wet man strips off his, clothes. His buddy lends him all the clothes he can spare, while they wring out the wet ones. Then he must haul the o)othes back on—an awful task. The chance of losing life men on the lee in a fog or blizzard is a work that mlways besets a captain. It must be remembered that this work goes on at the worst timeor year, when gales of wind and snow are the usual thing. Every morning a skipper must de- have been made; but the talk period tide whether to put his men on the appears to be happily passing now In - ice or not, and the decision is often to the stage of concrete action.

Cons,): The question of electric power is an important one. Canada will get more power out of the development than the United States, but this is because she has a great many more miles of river than her neighbor. On the in? ternational section, the power will be divided equally between the two coun- tries. To the power on the Canadian section our Amertan friends haven't the slightest trace of a claim. Canada will develop it herself and have it for herself. If the present sentiment pre- vails, she will not export a single kilo- wat of it. Empire Solidarity Hamilton Spectator (Ind.
