DEVELOPMENT BY BRI-
TAIN AND FIANCE.
Conipletionn of Cape=to-Cai><o
Railway—Morocco Rich
Market For French.
Beyond all doubt we shall see, in rig
distant time, the realization of Cecil
Rhodes's great dreamt of. a Cape to -
Cairo railway, now that like elimina-
tion of Germany front that ' single
block of territory- which interrupted
the continuity of l3ritish possession
form Alexandria to Cape Town has
been achieved. In the same way we
shall see British capital take over the
Bagdad railway, probably in coopera-
tion with the French, and complete a
railway extending from the Gulf of
Alexandretta to the Persian Gulf and
beyond to the point of junction with
the railways of India. With France
established in Syria and Britain as-
sured of supremacy in Mesopotamia,
the old obstacles to this railway will
disappear.
Enormous Railway Development...
At no remote day passengers will
take train in London, arrive in France
by the Calais Tunnel, now to be con-
structed without delay, pass through
France and on down the valley of the
Danube to Constantinople, and, cross-
ing tho 'Bosporus by a train ferry, con-
tinue,olong the road of Alexander the
Great through the Cilician Gat to Alep-
po, where passengers for Cairo and
Cape Town will part with those going
to Bagdad and Calcutta.
Even more interesting, since less
familiar to Canadians, is the promise
of development of French colonial
railways. With the expulsion of Ger-
many from the Congo and the en-
forced recognition by the Germans of
French supremacy in Morocco France
is at last free, without the old haunt-
ing fear that she was building for
Germany, to complete her railway sys-
tems in her own African empire.
French capital and French merchants
can take up the task of completing
the great work which for nearly a cen-
tury the French have been pushing
slowly in the regions from Algeria
southward.
Precisely as Britain will uow re-
store prosperity in the Garden of
Eden, the French will be able to trans-
form Morocco, one of the richest bits
of undeveloped land in the world.
Tunis, Algeria, Morocco -- these
three . states constitute an empire
which lies almost at the door of
France. Algiers is now but twenty
hours from Marseilles. In them
Route wrought miracles and France
has gone far to restore the Roman
prosperity and establish a French
world. Of the three Morocco is po-
tentially the richest, but all have a
wonderful future. In Morocco there
is a wide field for the young men who
find a return to the restraints of
civilization irksome; while French in-
dustry, finding a market and a field
for development inside the French
customs system are bound to find
ample opportunity for development.
British Gains in War.
Of course, Britain remains the great
colonial nation and the real gainer in
colonial expansion by the war. In
Africa she has acquired three-quarters
Of, a million square miles of German
territory, against less than a third as
great a gain by France. She has,
moreover, rounded out her African es-
tate and her road to Cape Town .is
now clear. Under British rule the
German colonies are bound to marc&
rapidly to real prosperity, particularly
German East Africa, which is an em-
pire in itself.
In Asia, too, the great prize is
British. Mesopotamia and the first
mortgage on Persia together serve as
outworks for both Egypt and India.
Thus, British manufacturers will find
new markets, British shipping new
ports, What has already been done in
Egypt along the Nile will be repeated
in Mesopotamia, between the Tigris
and the Euphrates.
If war is prevented for another half
century it seems almost inevitable
that North Africa will be brought back
to the prosperity and civilization
which it enjoyed under Rome, and
even if war comes after only twenty-
five years of truce we shall see Moroc-
can troops and African troops restor-
ing the balance between b"rench and
German armies completely.
Moreover, in a far shorter time we
shall certainly see an enormous trans-
formation of Africa; we shall see
enormous railway expansion., and out
Of this new and peaceful conquest we
shall see arising a prosperity which
will go far to liquidate the great costs
of the recent war.

CannIngg. Poultry.
Just at this season, many poultry
keepers are culling their flocks, pre-
paratory to the winter laying season,
and the "slacker" hens are being dis-
posed of, Many housewives find that
it pays to can them for an emergency
meal or for use next summer.
Canning of poultry is not radically
different from the canning of fruits
or vegetables, the same general princi-
ples being followed. Among the gen-
eral rules, however, are these: Birds
should be killed and dressed the same
day of canning; they should be singed,
washed, cut up, and cooled as for
table use; new rubbers should always
be used; covers should be fitted and
tested; the time of sterilization is
important and should not be Shortened
a minute (count time after water
around' cans begins to boil). The
length of sterilization varies from one
and one-half to three hours, according
to the method used.
Garden cleaningi he fall is as
important in its way as housecleaning
,in the spring, whether flowers or vege-
tables make up the garden plot. The
achievement of garden cleanliness at
this season will often do mud). toward
insuring healthiness and thriftiness of
plants during the next growing sea-
son. The foliage and branches of
plants which have been attacked by
disease or badly infested by insect
pests should be cleaned up especially
well and burned.

Hospitalrecords show that every
time you eat a corn you invite lock,
jaw or blood poison, which is needless,
says a Cincinnati authority, who tells
eou,tbat a quarter ounce of a drug
called freezone can be -obtained at lit-
tle cost from the drug store but is suf.
flcient to ricl one's feet of every bard
or soft .Corn or callus.
You simply apply a few drops of
freezone on a tender, aching corn and
soreness is instantly relieved. Short.
ly .the entire corn can be lifted out,
root and all, withput pain.
This drug is sticky but dries at once
and is claimed to just shrivel up any
corn without inflaming or even irri•
eating the surrounding tissue or skin.

will be glad to know of this.

Flamingo is a Queer
Bird.
The flamingo, one of the queerest of
birds, sits on its nest while standing
straight up, says a writer in the New
York Sun. The birds build their nests
in shallow ponds, where there is much
mud. This they scrape together, Mak-
ing little hillocks, like small islands
appearing out of the water about a
foot and a ha'if from the bottom. They
make the foundations broad, and leave
a small opening, or hollow pit, at the
top, where they deposit their two eggs,
the number the flamingo always lays.
To hatch them theamingo stands
over the nest, with its 'body just above
the eggs. It couldn't put its long,
awkward legs inside the nest, and to
sit on the hillock would jeopardize the
eggs.
Young flamingoes do not fly readily,
although they run very fast. Once
they learn to fly they show speed and
resemble sky rockets, with their bril-
liant red plumage.
Flamingoes were first noticed in
1683 by Dampier, on the Cape Verde
Islands. Ever since they have been
hunted to provide feathers for milady's
hats.

Cold "Don'ts."
,.This is the season for colds. If you
want to avoid one—
Don't be afraid of fresh air, It can-
not of itself ever give anyone a cold
in the head.
Don't forget exercise, and a,dd as
muck fat as possible to your daily con-
sumption of food.
Don't overburden yourself with
thick clothes. Ventilation as well as
warmth should be alined at.
Don't toast yourself by the fire.
This only heats one side of the body,
while the other may be chilled by a
current of cold air.
Don't treat a cold as a trivial mat-
ter. It may lead to influenza and
serious illness.
Don't sneeze without covering your
mouth with a handkerchief. A man
with a cold can easily throw his poison
germs 12 ft. by a sneeze.
