One Belgian in 'London is stated have lost a fortune of $1,500,000. A movement; is on foot to form a Jewish battalion in London to go on active service. At Cambridge University 2,000 `ut of 3,500 graduates have already gone or are ,going to the war. The ' Bristol Licensing Justices have made an order for the closing of public houses at 9 pan. The King has approved the set- ting apart of January 3rd next as a day of humble prayer and interces- sion. A scheme has been prepared for : converting one of the swimming baths in Lambeth into a rifle range. A mine recently drifted ashore at Hartlepool, and exploded against the rocks. Fortunately no one was injured. Lieut. -General Sir Douglas Haig Blas been promoted to the ramk of General for distinguished service in the field. As many members of the library staff are on war service, the West- minster Public Libraries are now closed on Sundays. The Salvation Army have offered the use of their farm colony at Had- leigh, Essex, for convalescent wounded Belgian soldiers. An old lady, known as "Granny" Curtis, of Margate, although now in her 10.'st year, is busy making bandages for the wounded. The King has given a white goat to the 76 Battalion Reserve Royal Welsh Fusiliers now being raised at Newtown, Montgomeryshire. The Second Scottish Battalion of Newcastle has been completed and a -third one is being formed. Al- ready 100 have been enrolled. London motor buses dare now be- ing requisitioned in large Cumbers and 1,000 will soon be on French and Belgian soil for the transports. "Made in England and Britain Abroad" is the title of a new month- ly issued with the ideaof ringing the death knell of "Made in Ger- many." For the Territorials training at the White City, the London County Council are instituting lectures on sewing, darning, sketching and camp cooking. Mr. H. S. Foster, ex-M.P. foe the Lowestoft Division and an ex -Sher- iff of the City of Landon, has his son, his son-in-law, five nephews and fourteen cousins with the col- ors. No fewer than 140,000 craps of herring have been landed at Yar- mouth since the winter opened. A considerable fleet. of Scottish boats are operated from the port. It is stated that Prince Maurice of Battenberg is the first member of the British Royal Family to fall in' battle since his ancestor, James IV. of Scotland was slain ab Nod - den. Mrs. Lister-I(aye has made her home "Morley Manor," Derbyshire, into a 'hospital. It is attached -to Leicester Place Hospital and has been full of wounded, soldiers for some time past. For the insurance of the Guild- hall, the Mansion Hous.e, and the Central Criminal Court against damage by bombs, the City Cor- poration is paying a premium of r, • r $8,500. Delayed "Last :11onients." In the Battle of Friedland, on June 14, 1807, there was a voting lieutenant in Napoleon's army nam- ed Schramm. When the victorious general was riding over the battle field that evening, he came 'upon the eighteen -year old officer lying on the ground mortally • wounded, and weeping bitterly, "Why do you weep V' asked Na- poleon, as he rode by. "Because I must die before I can become al, captain," the youth com- plained. The words of the dying lieutenant softened the emperor's heart. "My ,son, I shall gladly fulfill your Wish," he said. "1 hereby advance you to rthe rank of captain." The unexpected promotion actual- ly saved the boy's life; he recover- ed. Later on he fought most vali- antly for the cause of Napoleon and by the time of the battle of Waterloo he had already become a general. He outli-aed his 'last mo- Ineuts" on the field of Friedland by more than seventy years. "Yes, 1 often think thitt woolen are as well qualified for war as men. My husband is opposed to it, But I often feel as if I'd like to leave home and get into the thick of the fight," "But why leave home 1" "Nerviline" Cores Cramps Eiid Misery Instantly 'NO REMEDY SO SPEEDY OR EFFICIENT... A real cramp cure? Yes, a real one—in a twinkling the cramp is a dead one, and the last squirm is over,, once you get a stiff dose of Nerviline on the inside, This isn't mere talk—it's a solid, truthful •fact. No other remedy—not a single one—will cure cramps so quickly and harmlessly as Nerviline. It hits the spot in a jiffy and saves a heap of misery, "Last Saturday night my stomach felt like an infernal machine," writes T. P. Granger from Hartford. "I was awakened from a sound sleep , and found myself suffering the worst kind of torture.I was so doubled up I could hardly cross my room. I had used Nerviline before for the same thing and took a real good dose. Once I felt the warm, soothing sensation of Nerviline in my stomach I knew I was all right. It finished the cramps —just one_ single dose." Sickness at night is rendered a nightmare of the past if Nerviline is handy. It may be earache, toothache or cramps. Nerviline in every case will cure at once and save calling the doctor. Nerviline is a family physi- cian in itself. The large 50c. family size bottle, of course, is most economi- cal. Small trial size costs a quarter. All dealers sell Nerviline. OVER 20,000,000 UNDER ARMS. War Expense In Europe of Over $50,000,000 a Day. According to a Swiss computation there were in Europe at the end of August about 20,400,000 men •wctu ally under arms. At the beginning of October, Germany, according to Swiss reports, had under arms 27 Army Corps of her regular troops, and an equal number of reserves, making a total of 54 Army Corps, spay 2,160,000 men. Of these 24 Army Corps were in France, 6 in Belgium and Alsace, 13 in East Prussia, and 11 between Thorn and Cracow. There are in addition as- sumed to be 1,500,000 Landsturm and volunteers serving in the inter- ior, while 600,000 fresh recruits are reported to be in training, suf- ficiently advanced for them to be ready for service in November. Even the neutral states, it was es- tim,alted, had mobilized more than 2,000,000 soldiers on a war footing. - For each soldier, including initial and consequent expenses, 10c. per day is usually counted in an esti- mate. This gives a total daily war expense in Europe of over 10,000,- 000 sterling. Of this (says the Economist) Germany would provide for ,some £2,200,000 per day, Aus- tria for £1,600,000, Russia for £2,- 100,000, and France for £1,600,000. Even Switzerland was then spend- ing some £60,000 daily, and Hol- land probably £100,000. T7Ia �SOX,iDh1iR'S HORNING PRAYER. (Psalm 5:3:) O Thou who ever livest, We seek Thy. grace this day, That in the strength Thou giveet We may Thy word obey. May we resist temptation, And may there in us be The joy of Thy 'salvation That we may walk with Thee, Be near when foes are pressing; And strengthen heart and nerve; Bestow Thy gracious blessing'' That we may never swerve. Be near when prospects favour And great success is known : t. Be near when comrades waver And we must stand alone. MBS31ERIZED A. Poisonous Drug Still Freely Used. Many people are -brought up to believe that tea and coffee are ne- cessities of life, and the strong hold that the drug, caffeine, in tea and coffee has on the system makes it hard to loosen its grip even when one realizes its injurious effects. A lady writes : "I had used cof- fee for years; it seemed one of the necessities of life. A few months ago my health, which had been slowly failing, became more im- paired, and I knew that unless re- lief came from some source I would sown be a physical wreck, "I was weak and nervous, had rick headaches,' no .ambition, and felt tired of life. My husband was also losing leis health. He was troubled so much with indigestion that at times he could eat .only a few mouthfuls. "Finally we s•aw • P -s -tum adver- tised and bought a package.

The .wife of the colonel was mak- ing the round of the hospital, and paused at the bedside of a wound- ed Highlander. The gallant fallow, one of whose legs had been recent- ly amputated, was toying with a German helmet—evidently a trophy of war. "Well," said the lady, "I supposed you killed yeller man?" "Well, naaw," quietly responded the soldier, "you see, it was like this. He lay on the field pretty near me with an awfu' wound, an' bleedin' away somet•hin' terrible. I was losin' a lot o' blood too frae i y leg but I managed to crawl up to hint an' bound him as well as I could, and he did the same to me. Nawthin', of coarse, was said be- tween -us. I knew no German, an' the idler man not a word o' Eng,: lish; so when he'd done, no seein' hoo else tae thank him, I just smil- ed, an' by way o' token handed him my- Glengarry, and he smiled back an' gave me his helmet." -.I4 PLEASED TO RECOMMEND BABY'S OWN TABLETS Mrs, Henri Bernier, An-celinle, Que., writes: "It is with pleasure that I recommend Baby's Own Tab- lets, which I have given my little ones for srtomeela aiil,d bowel trou- bles, constipation, loss of sleep, arid simple fevers.

A small storage battery is used in con- nection with this set so the cars may be lighted even if the locomo- tive is uncoupled and removed. The advantage of electric lights for passenger trains are many. First of all, they eliminate the dan- gerous gas tanks and gas lighting systems, and the old oil lamps, which usually set fire to the train in case of wreck. The electric lamps do not overheat the car dur- ing the warm days of summer, and they do not vitiate the air of the coaches, making travelling uncom- fortable for want of good ventila- tion. +1.4 Understood Children.

Did you ever see anybody upset an inkstand when it was empty'?" Minard's Linitnent Cures Diphtheria. The electrically -lighted passenger train is no novelty on any first-class road, but there are few passengers who can tell how the electric cur- rent is produced which keeps the electric lamps burning regardless of whether the train is in motion or not. First-class passenger trains are not only lighted by electricity, but the current has beeon adapted to drive -electric fans during the hot summer months, and, in one or two instances it is also used in the kit- chen of the dining -car, where the food is cooked over the invisible fires of electricity. In lighting a passenger train pro- vision'must be made for supplying the current whether or not the train is in .motion. To -accomplish this a storage battery is generally install - ted in connection with the electrical generator. There are three systems iu use for train lighting. The first is the straight storage system which consists of a, storage battery large enough to store sufficient current for the needs of the train en route between terminals. Of course, this storage battery has to be charged before each trip, The lamps are lighted by merely turning the switch which draws the current stored in the battery. In the second system a small gen- erator is geared or belted to the wheels of one of the caws. This generator supplies electricity- di- rectly to the lamps and also to an auxiliary storage battery, which keeps the lamps burning -when the train is standing in stations or yards. This system ie rather more complicated than the first, but has the added ,advantage that the stor- age battery does not have to be charged at the terminals, • In the third .syystenn a small gen- erator driven by a Curtis steam turbine engine which secures steam fzem the l000m•otive boiler, is used to supply. the current, This tiny One day the five-year-old daugh- ter of the house ' was looking through a picture book when she suddenly glanced up to her mo- ther. "Mamma," said she, with a very serious expression, "don't men ever. go to heaven 1" "Why, of course, my dear," answered the mother in a surprised voice, "What makes you ask 1" "Because," re- sponded the little girl, turning to the book again, "I have never seen any pictures of angels with whis- kers." "That's easily accounted for, darling," was the smiling re- joinder of mother. "While men de go to heaven, they -only get there lev a very close shave." ISSUE; 51---'14. WAR -WHISKERS,' Making It Possible That Every 'Hominy Shall Be Shave. Tommy Atkins does not allow the enemy's shrapnel to interfere with his shave. All the world must have read with amazed adzniration that story, the other day. of how a group of Brit- ish Tommies were coolly shaving m the trenches when . the Germans suddenly opened gun fire upon them ; er that other story of the Sol- dier who stopped to shave in the street of a frontier town; or, yet again. that ,story of the military chauffeur who rather than permit the whiskers of war to sprout un- duly for want of amirror, lathered and scraped his face while using the window of the ear he was driving as a looking -glass! You may remember—or probably you don't *remember that the Crimean War had the curious ef- fect of popularizing whiskers as well as the cigarette habit of the Russians, the real reason being, of Bourse, that our officers and men serving through that strenuous eampaign had neither means nor oportunity of shaving, and so had to let their wills -kens grow. Not so to -day, however. Tommy Atkins learned manv things in the memorable South African War, and among them he learned that even a shave under difficulties, including little soap and less water, is prefer- able for comforts sake to a fort- night's growth of face appendage, especially in hot weather. And he learned, too, that shaving while campaigning is by no means the im- possible feat a mere civilian may imagine it to be. Will Quiclily Cure Any Sour Stomach Relieves Fullness After Meals.

My stamen kept sour, and always after • eating there was pain and fullness and all the symptoms of intestinal indiges- tion. Nothing helped me until I used i Dr. Hamilton's Pills. Instead of hurt- ing, like other pills, they acted very mildly, and seemed to heal the bowels.
