Charming Styles for Children Paris Skies Fligkered as Guns Roared 45 Miles Away—On lath Foch Commenced Attack. A year ago this month'. With Ger- many completely beaten, her armies dispersed and her High Seas fleet at the bottom of the sea, and tiro names of her representatives written at the font of a lliimiiiating peace treaty, it scarcely seems possible that at this One last year ---on July 15th, 191.8, to be exact --she was still able to launch eterrific offensive and to, for a.sllort time, drive back the allied armies. It was Germany's greatest attack since March 21st, 1918 --rand her last des- pairing blow. "The inhabitants of Paris and the suburbs heard violent artillery firing in the early hours to -day," stated the Associated Press despatch which ap- peared in the Toronto newspapers that day. "The sky towards the east • was constantly lit up as if by a great electrical storm. Those who were on the boulevards after midnight listened to the canonade, while soros gathered on the high points of the city to watch the distant heel/ ens. The noise of the firing was particularly,aloud in the southern part of the city." The Germans. headed towards Paris, had crossed the Marne in sev- eral places. They had got within 45 Miles o the capital, at Chateau Thierry. Hindenburg had launched between 30 and 35 divisions at what he thought was the weakest spot in the long allied line. Tho Germans had attacked on a 25 -mile front between Chateau Thierry and Bligny and on au - other 25 -mile stretch from Prunay to Afaison de Champagne. French and American troops were defending these sectors and the Hun thought a breach slight be easier here than elsewhere.

Price, 10 cents. s After a gigantic bombardment the Germans attacked and in the first fury of their onslaught managed to push back the allied line as much as 4,000 yards at one spot. But their success was only momentary. Allied counter-attacks were quickly deliver- ed by the lith. All Hun onsets were being smashed up. In two days it was estimated that the Germans had lost 100,000 men. Suddenly on the. morning of July 18th, 1918, came the beginning of the last act in the Great War. Foch launched his offensive. The generalis- simo tried the Hun out on the 35 -mile front between Buileau and Fontenot. The Hun line gave, the seemingly strong German line was found to be weaker than it appeared. Then along the 300 -mile front which lay twisted and twined from the clunes of the North Sea to the mountains of Swit- zerland, allied attacks broke forth now here, now there, till pounded and driven along its entire length the German army began the retirement which ended in surrender on Novem- ber 11, 1918.

On the return journey conversation between the machine and Marquise was again picked up at Kenley, and the latter station itself was in com- munication with the machine 30 minutes before it landed. One of the recent developments in this connection is the production of an aeroplane set which can be converted within a few moments for transmis- sion of either voice or Morse signals.

You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail, post- paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Explorer Stefansson Also Suggests Musk Ox as Source of Supply. Villtjaimur Stefansson, the Arctic explorer, by a recent address before the Canadian Commons and Senate, has awakened Canada to the import- ance of the caribou and musk ox as a source of food supply for the nation. The Dominion Government, upon the recommendation of Arthur Meighen, minister of the interior, has appointed a commission to make a thorough in- vestigation of the Arctic and sub -Arc- tic regions with a view to the conser- vation of these wild herds. There are between thirty and sixty •million caribou in the North according to estimates. They range as far south as Churchill river in winter and retire to the tundra region in the summer. Thousands are slaughtered by wolves and hunters every year. Their meat is equal to fine venison and their hides tan into leather that resembles cham- ois skin. The completion this year of the Hudson Bay Railway, a branch of the Canadian national system, extend- ing from the Pas to Port Nelson on Hudson Bay, will open a route by which the animals can be conveniently shipped to market. The musk ox are not numerous. They never venture south of the Great Barrens, Their pleat is like beef and they yield a wool equal to that of merino sheep. Mr, Stefansson be- lieves that if the herds were superin- tended by a force of rangers they could be greatly increased and would becOlue in time a valuable commercial, factor. From the Days of the '`Grand Monarch' to Date Has Been Under Troubled Shade. • There is something of .irony in the fact that democracy's greatest victory has been signed and sealed in that dream of art which Louis XIV. "wrought lordlike into stone" to sym- bolize and perpetuete the magnifi- cence of royalty. It is a haunted house, that palace of Versailles. The ghosts of the i11ue- trious and notorious, the beloved and the execrated, walk down its halls. First of all, the "Grand Monarch" who lavished the people's substance in in- credible sums for a grandiose depic= tion of himself and the splendor of his reign. The troubled shade of De Pom- padour comes back in lonely hours, again "to rule a king and misrule a nation," to witness the triumphs which ended finally on a dismal morning when lackeys tossed her coffin care- lessly into a coach. There was that life which was a royal idyl, into which the despair and hunger of the mob were to come thundering at last, to splash the elegance with blood, to jeer Marie Antoinette on the way to the guillotine, to make of France a shambles. Thus ended the palace as a chateau. It was never again a place of residence. But two centuries after the "Grand Monarch," the King .of Prussia occupies the palace and the Iron Chancellor's dream is realized in The joy of religion is deeper and More lasting than any other; and this is one of the gifts of God to His friends, to those who walk with Him. .101 And this walking with God is possible to every man in eveey age. 0.a A Star Shower.

After a while there won't be any pedes- trians." Gooseberries produce fruit both on the old and new wood. Pruning, which is best done in the spring, should be confined to thinning out the branches so as to secure well rounded bushes with open heads. Cut back to an upward pointing bud any branches that bend down to the ground. Gooseberries like water. Not that they cannot have too much, but in well drained soil they enjoy a good sprink- ling daily so the ground about them will not dry out. A mulching of well rotted manure about the plants as soon as the fruit buds have set is beneficial, enabling the Partas to perfect their fruit and form ildwering buds for the following year. Keep the mulch damp. li There are approximately 30,000 autos and 8,000 trucks in Toronto. The cycle of cultivation during the crop year consists of after harvest cultivation, fall ploughing and spring seed -bed preparation. Each of these three distinct phases must be prac- ticed systematically if the most suit- able seed -bed conditions are to be con- sistently maintained. cal ' ®' rip $er s Make your morniit ce- *real dish a stren thener. is not _ only most deli- cious in taste, but is a bider of tissue. ae ryvhe1'ye'r.' a Reason" LEMON JUICE IS FRECKLE REMOVER Girls!
