:gun IN AEROPLANES.
MI and Usefulness of French
Aviators Shown at Autumn
Manoeuvres..
Capt. von Pustau, a retired Ger-
man naval officer who now devotes
his time to army aviation, has
made a report on what he saw dur-
ing the French army'e autumn
manoeuvres in the eastern depart-
ments, which he was specially au-
thorized to follow on behalf of the
German \Jar Department. The
French newepapere give long quota-
tions from Capt. von Pustau'e re-
port. His summing up runs
"These manoeuvres have proved
that the fourth French arm exists
in fact and not only in name, that
it is capable of rendering very
great services to troops on the
same side and constitutes an in-
estimable danger for the enemy.
In Germany we are very far from
anything of the kind and it will
Seed a great effort of most serious
tvork and a great outlay of money
before we can think of endowing
our staff with aviators.".

the result will he." The Tablets
are sold by medicine dealers or by
mail at 25 cents a hex from The
Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brock-
ville, Ont.
He describes the duties assigned
to the aviation corps, "which they
brilliantly carried out,," aa being
of three kinds. First, to recon-
noitre the positions and movements
of the enemy; second, to establish
and maintain the connection be-
tween troops of the same side;
third, to support the artillery by
observing the effects of its fire and
by signalling to it the exact posi-
tions of hostile batteries.
"Without entering in detail, into.
the prowesses accomplished by
each . aviator," ho says, "it is suf-
ficient to point out that in each of
these three eases they rendered
considerable services, services
which' no one elsecould have-rend-
ered,
ave-rend-ered, and that with a very strong
wind" blowing which would have
prevented any kind of dirigible
from going out"
Capt. von Pustau dwells upon
Ole crushing superiority of French
onoplanes and biplanes over those
ha use in the German army and
Siescribes the arrangements for
Transporting and housing the ap
paratuses as something unknown
etc his side.
"If the results of these experi-
ments," he (says, "justify the -hopes
that have been founded on them,
we need no longer indulge in illu-
sions but must confess that the
brilliant and well thought out or-
ganization of French aeronautics

HINTS FOR THE HOME.
When cutting bread and butter
very thin, dip the knife occasion-
ally in very hot water.
An old fowl should he skinned be-
fore cooking, either for boiling or
roasting.
When choosing beef press it with
the thumb, and if it rises quickly,
it is of good quality.
Washing lilies which are not in
constant u ueswvill crack unless some
water is kePt them.
An onion for soup should be stuck
with six cloves and added after the
soup has been skimmed.
Wooden spoons and pastry boards
will repay 'a good scrubbing with
sand in preference to soap.
. "Combs should not be washed.
Clean them by passing a piece of
soft rag between the teeth.
Only have just what saucepans
are in constant use—otherwise,
some are certain to be left to rust.
Ginger poultices are as efficacious
as mustard and will not blister.
They should be made in the same
way.
When hanging out clothes, hang
skirts by the bands, night-dresses
by the shoulders, and stockings by
the toes.
A nourishing dish may be made
from cooked meat by stewing it
very slowly in good gravy for an
hour or an hour and a half.

dent tells that she keeps her car-
pets clean and fresh -looking by
wiping them over with a cloth wrung

VERY GRAVE DANGER FOR US.
If furthermore our neighbors con-
tinuo to progress at the same rate
as in 1910-11, and if they maintain
their advance on us, I do not
hesitate to proclaim that in the
!next war this inferiority will lead
us straight to a catastrophe."
The report has naturally received
a ready welcome in Franco, where
t is contrasted with the Emperor
ilhiam•'s speech of a year ago in
whicn he declared that the French
yould find grave disappointment
with aerial locomotion, adding,
"As for myself I am decided as to
their worth and if I adopt them in
the arniy it will only, be to satisfy
public opinion."
Prince Henry of Prussia is said
to be a convert to the adoption of
aeroplanes and a disbelief in dirig-
ible • balloons, and it is_ said, al-
though the statement has been
:denied as to the exact sum, that
he has advised the Emperor to
iipend 30,000,000 marks, or $7,500,-
000, on aeroplanes and their acces-
series during the coming year.
Nott to real estate mortgages, probably,
tate itself forms the best known
medium of investment in Canada. While'
mortgages aro never purchased for their
speculative possibilities—es was noted in
a recent issue, they lack this feature al-
together—real estate is, unfortunately,
too often bought for no other 'purpose
than the hope of making a quick profit.
Of course. land may be purchased on the
outskirts of growing cities with a reason
able prospect of making a profit; but real
estate so purchased eau no longer claim
the title of investment; it is a pure spoon.
Litton. although often a reasonably safe
one.
Land purchased for investment must bo
land capable of returning an income to
the purchaser over and above a moder-
ato allowance for repairs, renewals and
contingencies. Such land must, therefore.
be capable of produoing crops, or must
have buildings erected on it which are
sufficiently desirable to bo rented at a
rate which produces the return above
mentioned.
Now. such investment has not only rev,
sonable safety, but—in Canada—great
prospecte of appreciating in value. But,
just as in the case of mortgages, the put,
chervil' must use great care to choose a
place that is growing and has good pros-
pects of continuing to grow.
It seems supertluoue to discuss this form
of investment at great length, as prac-
tically
raytically everyone has at one time so In.
vested; perhaps for the sake of the ren.
tal, or perhaps to obtain a farm or house
for his own use. People who buy pro=
pertles to use invest for the reason that,
while it does not return a regular income,
it saves a regular expenditure, which
amount to the same thing. Few people
realize, however, that, as a rule. real es-
tate investments return a very small net
revenue. Few large properties return
more than 5 per cent.—and pralably leen-
on the investment when all proper allow-
ances are deducted from gross income. In,
Toronto at present there is a dearth &.t
medium -Priced houses for rent. As a re-
sult rentals aro not only high but consti-
tute a largo return on tho original cost.
But there is 'always the chance that new
building will cause the supply to exceed
the demand and rentals will fall as a
result.
Many people, too, reckon their rate of
income from a real estate investment on
the amount invested. It is a better me•
thod. and will save many false impres-
sions, if the returns are figured on the
market price. If, despite large advances
in the price of real estate, the.return on
the value of a property is reasonably
good, when reckoned on the market price,
there is no occasion to disturb the invest-
ment. If, on the other hand, the return
is too low to give a reasonable return,
sell the property and reinvest.
Granting that care is exercised, land,
producing a regular revenue, is fairly
safe, both in regard to principal and in-
terest; it stands a fair chanoo of appreci-
ating in value; the market price is stable;
but the rate of income is often small,
when proper reductions aro Made for re-
pairs, renewals, maintenance, etc; and fin-
ally, laud is not readily saleable in the
lienee that a good bond is. No ono who
has limited means can afford to invest
iu real estate for the last two reasons.
Moreover, many of the drawbacks attach -
cd to mortgage investments exist also
in the case of real estate.

food gave her good red blood and
restored the roses of youth to a
complexion that had been muddy
and blotchy. She says
"For 10 years I had stomach
trouble which produced a breaking
out on my face. The doctors gave
it a long Latin name, but their me-
dicines failed to cure it. Along
with this I had frequent headaches,
nervousness and usually pain in my
stomach after meals.
"I got disgusted with the drugs,
stopped them and coffee off short,
and quit eating everything but
fruit and Grape -Nuts, with Postum
for my table beverage.
"The headaches, stomach trouble
and nervous weakness disappeared
almost like magic, which showed
that when the cause was removed
and good food and drink used na-
ture was ready to help.
"My blood eves purified and my
complexion' ljecame like a young

was afflicted as I had been. She
followed my advice, and in a short
time was restored- to . complete
health, and in about 8 months her

pounds.

the shelves swing around like a

A WONDERFUL KITCHEN.
William A. Clark's Palate, Fifth
Avenue, New York.
The "kitchen wonderful" in the
costliest palace in America is now
ready to produce food for its mil-
lion.l,xre owner, his wife and his
guests.
Much has been written of the
vast mansion built by ex -Senator
Williams A, Clark of Montana on
Fifth -ave.; New York, at a cost of
$5,00,000—a . flamboyant monstro-
sity of 'art, or an architectural gem
-depending on how you look at it,
But little has been told of the
kitchen --for it is only just complet-
ed. It is a laboratory of gleaming'
white, where housekeeping becomes
a wonderful mechanical game.
Over it all presides the young wife
who once knew direst poverty.
Every foot sof space, even on the
ceiling, is tiled in spotless white.
The working tables are white en-
ameled, with either glass or marble
tops. The rest of the kitchen fur-
niture is also of washable white en-
amel.
Thogreat culinary apartment is
cut irtto a series of six alcoves.
Each tedc oven e has
or electrical
adopted
are automatic dumb waiters, which
may be set like a clock to stop at
a certain floor or room, and an air •
plant furnishes perfectly fumigat-
ed and lifegiving air to every part
of the mansion.
Besides the kitchen wonderful
there are five kitchens attached to
separate suites in the house. There
is a beautiful nursery kitchen in
which trained nurses prepare food
for the two little girls of the house.
Another is part of the "quarantine
suite," supplied with all the appara-
tus for cooking for the sick.
GETTING A START.
"Seven years ago I landed in this
town with only $1, .but that dollar
gave mo my start."
"You must have invested it very
profitably."
"I did. I telegraphed home for
money."

reer by hustling for a job.
