The money spent by tourists u being counted upon as a means toward pay- ing part o1! the war bills, according to Jules Dorang, who represents.thenew- ly formed Commission of Tourists, the governi:nent of France •is virtually planning ."to standardize ,touring, in- order norder that no guilty dollar May es- cape. Instead of being a nation cover- ed with tourists roaining .at * will and without guides, .France will have a few well -trodden paths, leading through the heart of the pla:ces.where enough history was made to, add an- other year's worth to the high school curriculums. "Why, in Verdun," M. Dorang said, "there are actual acconrinodetionw for only fifty, and yet 5,000 people visit the battlefields.. with their million dead under thin mounds of earth, and some .not coniiietely under, almost daily. "It is heartrending to see the hun- dreds of British women and the people from all parts of France combing through the rows of .crosses for their beloved dead. They dare all kinds of hardships." Providing Hotel Accommodation. As outlined by M. Dorang, the French government is heartily advo- cating the building of huge temporary hotels, with two hundred and fifty rooms each, equipped with every modern convenience. These, they said, will iie' established on. the ;ten principal battlefields of France, nn - eluding ,Verdun, Montdidier, Soissons, Amiens, Arras, Ypres, Peronne, Pont- a-Mousson, in the Toul sector and in the Arkonne. "The hotels will be built to last for eight or ten years, after which re- ctoustrnctiou will have proceeded to the most devastated points," Mr. Brunswig said. "Undoubtedly, the mnoney'sijent on the Hotels would be realized in the first year of their 'exist- ence. "Arrangements will be made in this country, through a bureau to be es- tablished by M. Dorang, to prevent congestion at any single point, by the routing of the tourists so that the en- tire touring body will move methodi- cally and systematically. "An attempt will be made to fix the itinerary so that live hundred persons will stop at each place one night. They will be given tickets, inscribed with numbers. These will show, for example, that Mr. A will be at Verdun on Monday, Soissons on Tuesday and perhaps the Argonne on Wednesday. His card will be stamped with the number of the room he is to occupy. Mr. B will have a card which entitles him to a room at Verdun on Tuesday, Soissons on Wednesday and the Ar- gonne on Thursday, "Wounded and maimed soldiers, re- sidents of the battle -scarred territory, will serve as guides. Having lived and fought over the ground, they will be able adequately to give the tourist a lasting impression of the battle- fields." Tourists Spend $150,000,000. Tourists in Prance spend on an average of $500 a year, according to 111, Dorang. The amounts vary, Iie said, from tens of thousands of dollars spent by comparatively new million- aires to two or three hundred, spent by school teachers and others in search of some friishing touches to their education. The 300,000 tourists, at the average named by M. Dorang, would spend $150,000,000, enough to pay, if not for a full battle, at least for a sizable skirmish. The battle -seared territory, M. Do - rang explained, would not be in de- mand for agricultural or industrial uses for some years, because the value of the land is but 400 francs an acre, while it Is estimated that, under pre- sent conditions, the cost of restoring the property would be 4,000 francs an acre, The Ministry of Public Works, which has the preservation of the battle- fields under its jurisdiction, M. Dorang said, bas arranged to preserve the "pillboxes," or concrete machine gun nests, the tangle% of barbed wire and the ni. ;yrground trench systems, just es they were during the fighting., "SYRUP OF .FIGS" CHILD'S LAXATIVE Look at tongue!

A new. project in industrial town building to be called the Second Gar- den City is in'course of formation in England and the development will be on the lines of the First Garden City, which was established at Letchworth in Hertfordshire, fifteen years ago. • The estate chosen is in 'Hertford: shire, about ten miles from Letch- worth, and twenty-one miles from London. Provision will be made for a population of from 40,000 to 60,000. While the offshoots from the Letch- worth experiment have been many, they have taken the form of garden suburbs, with the idea of providing better accommodation for the workers in the city and, to that extent, have served a useful purpose. But no single development has embodied the prin- ciples of the First Garden City, which postulate a highly organized indus- trial town complete in itself and sur- rounded by ,a permanent agricultural belt, that shall not suffer disintegra- tion by the expanding needs of the ur- ban centre. The idea is that a chain of small towns properly equipped for all the uses and -amenities of life and permanently In touch with agricultur- al areas is. better for public welfare than a few large and overgrown cities constantly destroying the land areas that should feed the population of the cities. It also includes tno idea -of pub- lic ownership of land and public ser- vices so that the increments in value of the land and the profits of public utilities shall be conserved for the people who create them.

Fur Farming in P.E.L. The recognition of Prince Edward Island as the centre of fur -farming' as an established and scientific industry is constantly in evidence.

A novel method of clearing a field of stumps is described in the following letter, from a farm woman: "I had purchased a steam -pressure canning machine, but didn't have any land on which to raise the tomatoes with which I had hoped to make my canner a profitable investment. Even- tually I persuaded my family to let me have the use of a two -acre strip that had been cleared off. during the winter. I managed to roll the logs together, and either burn them en- tireeor in small enough pieces to allow me to roll then entirely off the land. But the stumps stood so thick that the land was practically useless. "Coming in the house one day I found my mother lamenting over the number of holes in the bottom of the heater that was being taken out of the dining -room. I asked for the stove, and was given it, with a lot of ques- tions and wondering looks. f hacked tlee.bottom out of it and carried it out to niy new ground and set. it over a stump. It worked fine. I put on a joint of pipe to keep the sparka in. It burns them out quite a distance into the ground, and does even better when I dig a hole through under the stump next to the taproot, as it seems to draw better. And speaking of draw- ing, everybody knows haw a heater can draw. Of course, the stump has to be chunked up, and it isn't very fast work, but I find I can burn out any stump the stove will fit down over, and do it well and safely."

Keeping Canned Sausage. In fall when we kill hogs I always fry sausage in cakes just the size we use on the table, put them in glass jars, cover with melted lard, screw up tight, and it is ready for use at any time. I have kept it this way as long as n year. There has always been one drawback—it takes so much lard to cover the cakes, and while it was never entirely lost, it was never so nice to use again. Last year I tried a new scheme, I used only the grease that fried out of the cakes as they were cooking, two or three tablespoonfuls to each jar of sausage; after screwing tight 1 turned the jar upside down to cool. Of course, the jaz was perfectly air -tight when the lard cooled and my sausage keit perfectly. I left the jars standing on the tops, as in the warm weather the lard might melt away, and the sausage would s)c:l.
