Results of Balkan War Shocked the People ---Optimistic Future For the Soudeus Lord Kitchener's reports from Egypt, and particularly the last to hand, reveal the wonderful progress that Egypt has made in developing the resources of the country. As regards the political situation, Lord Kitchener notes that the ob- servations made by his last report have apparently borne fruit. "There has been a marked dimin ution of party feeling and party strife, and I notice indications of greater confidence in the Govern- ment, particularly among the silent mass of the people. I hope I am not too .optimistic in considering these to be signs that in the near future the population will again be closely united, and while placing personal interests aside, -will en- deavor to work loyally for the com- mon good and to further the real interests of their country." Effects of the Balkan War. Touching • on the effects a the Balkan war, Lord Kitchener re- cords the • opinion that "defective Military arrangements appear to be suffered from ,asters 'headaches, and responsible for the breakdown of had no appetite. I was taking doc- one of the finest fighting armies that tor's medicine fora long time in fact I tried two doctors—but in- stead of improving I seemed to be growing worse. My parents were at a loss to know what to do for me, and thought I would not reco- ver, Then a friend advised Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and. I had only taken them a few weeks when I began to feel better. This greatly encouraged me, and I continued taking the pills for some time longer, and found my health again as good as ever it had been.. In fact I am stronger than ever I was before. I have advised the use of Dr. Williams' ,Pink Pills to other girls who have found the results. equally beneficial."

Scientist Discovers • Seceies That Understands Cookery. The extraordinary habits of the harvester ant have long been known to naturalists. Certain spe- cies not only harvest and store in granaries the seeds upon which they 'iced, but actually plant and cultivate an annual crop of their food seeds. Still more remarkable stories are told of an ant that is common in Dalmatia, the Messer bather -as. According to Dr. Neger of the Dresden Forestry School, this ant not only cuts leaves and gathers seeds, hue actually makes bread or biscuit l The seeds are first sprout- ed, then carried into the sun and dried, then taken back to the under- ground chambers, where they are chewed into a dough. The dough is then finally made into tiny cakes, which are baked in the sun, then carefully stored for. future use. From 'these observations it would appear that the art of cookery is not confined to the human race. All eaokiing is done by the sun, whether in the ripening of fruit or in the baking of bread in a stove. The heat obtained from fuel is simply stored up sunlight set free. The Arab and the native Mexican speak of ripe fruit as fruit which has been 000ked in the sun. The ant has somehow learned the art op sun cookery, the saliva with which it moistens the, grain probably tak- ing the place of yeast and sweeten- ing through changes set up by its influence upon starch.. BABY'S OWN TABLETS THE DANGER OF ANEMIA Consumption May Follow Unless its Lavages are Booked 'There is danger to every girl and every woman who falls a:' victim to anaemia that is bloodlessness. They'beoome listless; feel 'too weak, too wretched and :too hopeless to take prompt steps to stop the trou- ble. TOO often, through neglect, they drift into a worse condition, forgetting that anaemia, frequently lends on to consumption. If you &ere..anaemic in the least degree you should lose no time in beginning treatment to increase and enrich the blood supply: To do this there -is no other medicine so good as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, Every dose helps make rich, red blood, which drives out disease and brings a.giain the bloom of health to pale and sallow cheeks. There are 'thou - sande of women and growing girls in Canada who owe their present good health to the timely use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Among those who have been restored to health by this great medicine is Miss .hose Neville, Mount Forest, Ont., -who says, "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills performed almost amir- acle in my case. I was a victim of anaemia, in what my friends con- sidered a dangerous form. I was very pale, always' felt tired out, existed in the world. "The effects of the war were deeply felt here, and its results name as a shock to the population. Following the example set in the case of the Turko-Italian war, Egypt maintained neutrality, but the people showed their sympathy far the Mohammedan combatants by organizing and contributing liber- ally to a ?cad -Crescent Society, as well as ler a general subscription to assist TItrkey in her need. The peo- ple of 'Egypt have behaved during the war with complete self-control," Irrigation Policy. Lord Kitchener deals at some length with the Government's irri- gation policy, and outlines the bather developments in oontenipla tion. His general conclusions are: "(i.) That the epeessary supply of irrigzl.tion. water'for the-. present greatly extended area of cultivation is assured, "(2) That sufficient water for all probable extension in the delta dur- ing 'the next fifteen years is also assured, except in the event of a very low summer river. "(3) That, as it is advisable to al- low some extension of 'perennial cultivation in upper Egypt and to meet the demands for water for ex- tended cultivation in the delta in years of low supply, fresh 'works will be necessary to increase the quan- tity available for distribution. The proposed dam on 'the White Nile will, it is expected, be sufficient for this purpose." Lord Kitchener takes an optim- istic view of the future of the Sou- dan, holding that "a very prosper- ous and brilliant future undoubted- ly awaits the country.'." WONDERFUL CLO Cls S.

Aceordingly, Queen Victoria proposed to Prince Albert. How she did.it, she herself tells in her recently published memoirs: At about half past twelve o'clock I sent for Albert. He same to the closet where I was alone, and, af- ter a few moments, I said to him that I thought he must be aware that I wished him to come here, and that it would make me too happy if he would consent to what; I wanted—to marry me. We em- braced each ether, and he was so kind and affectionate! I told him that I was quite un- worthy of him. He said he would be very happy, and was so kind, and seemed so happy that I really felt it was the happiest, brightest moment in my life. I told him it was a great sacrifice, which he would not allow. I then told him of the necessity of keping it a secret, except to his father and uncle Leopold aiid Volk - mar, to whom he said he would send a courier the next day, and .also that it was to be as early as the beginning of February. I then told him to fetch Ernest (the Duke of Cumberland), which he did, and he congratulated us both, and seemed very happy. I feel the happiest of human be- ings!

But only a few visionaries dream- ed reamed that the underworld could ever be abolished. To -day, however, is an age not remarkable for vision - arias, the question is being .pushed persistently. "Is it unavoidable that millions of human creatures should live in chronic starvation l", and an increasing number of peo- pie answer "No. Whether these: people are right time alone can tell, and that time is still far distant, But the thing to .be thankful foe* that it change is taking place in the point of view, eunities later, the lady was met by the head man of the community, who eheered her pious soul by say- ing, "Mem sahib, we have come over to your side.
