The Most Unpretentious Big Mil- lionaire in Canasta.. Sir Herbert S. Holt, of Montreal, recently honored with a knight- hood, is said to be the most modest and retiring of Canada's million- aires, He is one of the biggest power and transportation men in the Dominion, but he doesn't go in for social or club life of any kind and is personally known to very few people. Sir Herbert Holt came to Can- ada in 1875 as a nineteen -year-old immigrant from Ireland. He had been given a training in mathemat- ics .and. engineering at Trinity Col- lege, Dublin. and he was given a job by James Ross, of Montreal, on the Victoria Railway, a crude little lumbering line, extending north from Lindsay into the forests of Haliburton. Young Holt made him- self very useful, and when Ross moved to Toronto as superintendent of the 'Credit Valley Railway, later absorbed by the C.P.R., he brought Holt with him. The young engineer had a good deal to do with the con - Sir II. S. bolt. struction of its various extensions. In 1883 James Russ moved again— going to the \Vest as superintendent of construction on the prairie divi- sion of the C.P.R.—and again he took young Holt with him. Power ills Monument. ' About the same time • William Mackenzie and D, D. Mann went West. Holt soon saw that there was more money in the contracting busi- ness than in working on salary as an engineer, and he spent seven years in that business, being all the time more or less in touch with Mackenzie, Mann and Ross. Re- turning to Montreal, he directed his energies to getting control of that city's power and light facilities. He first bought out the old Montreal gas company. Then he acquired the Royal Electric Company, and by .Gill•. /. ISSUE 5—'1G. degrees buying out competing cam- panies or crushing them, he evolved the present Montreal Light, Heat, and Power Company, with its aeven- teen million dollar capital and 'ts almost absolute monopoly in the. city and distriet of Montreal. Montreal Power is the monument H. S. Bolt has reared to his prow' ess as a financier, He 'knows all about that company, and its equip- ment, He is the company's own re- sident engineer, and has traveled all over the world ilrlpriving . his knowledge of electrical- engineering problems. He is also a bank president, be- ing head of the Royal Bank. By the way he has the unique distinction. of having been president of two banks, for he was the first presi- dent of the ill-fated Sovereign Bank, and held that office fpr three years. Sir Herbert is a director of the C.P.R. and is a liberal invest- or in stocks of any kind that- have a basis of industrialism. He is one of the biggest of Montreal's finan- cial magnates—one of the inner cir- cle. Personally he is also a big man. He is rather 'better than six feet in height, and his frame is powerful and well knit --that of a man who lived his early life out- doors and was very much at home there. . There is nothing of the mixer about this new Montreal knight. He spends most of his time between his house on Stanley Street and his of- fice in the Power Building on Craig Street. Usually he makes a trip across the Atlantic once a year, but the rest of the time he lives quietly at home. He doesn't care for clubs - 'and has few intimates. A .f'IOTI ER'S ANXIETY Most mothers are anxious when their little ones' are teething, for at this time the baby's stomach gets disordered and there is a, grave danger of convulsions. This anxiety can be lessened•, however, if the mother keeps a supply of Baby's Own Tablets in the, house and gives an occasional dose to her teething baby. The' Tablets are the very best medicine in the world during the teething time. They regulate the bowels, sweeten the stomach, promote healthful sleep and make teething painless. -They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents.a box from The Dr. Williams'.

"For many years I suffered from kidney disease," Mr. Tapp says, "It started from a cold, and gradu- ally grew worse. My skin ha,d' a harsh, dry feeling, my :appetite was fitful and I perspired freely with the slightest exertion. I had flashes of light before my eyes and T was al- ways tired and nervous. "Finally rheumatism was added to my troubles, while attacks of sciatica and neuralgia followed. The doctor who attended ire and the. medicines I tried, failed to help me till I decided to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. I took four boxes in all, and to -day I ani a robust man in excel- lent health." All Mr. Tapp's troubles came from sick kidneys. That's why 'Dodd's Kidney Pills cured them. SEARCHLIGHTS IN WAR. Carried to All Parts of the Field by Motor Truck. In modern warfare the searchlight is invaluable. On dark nights at sea it is the only means of guarding against torpedo boats, which its beams will re- veal at a distance of two miles or more. On shore it is the electric eye of the army. It is carried to all parts of the field of action by motor truck, and the motor that propels the vehicle drives the electric generator that supplies the current for the light. Most of these field searchlights are not directed by hand, for each instrument is fitted with what is known as the distant control. Two small motors govern the vertical and the horizontal movements of the light. From them an electric cable runs to the station of the operator, who , although he may be several hundred feet away, can send the rays of the light in, any direction he pleases. According to the Navy and Army Illus - t Ated, one advantage of this distant control is that the objects picked up by the beam of light can be sighted +t e Prisoner It was an accident your operator stands behind the light and Honor. looks along the beam his vision is Judge — What: Didn't you in. jj hampered by a luminous Ihaze.

Seventeen Red Cross Women Have Been Billed in Battle. Seventeen women nurses in the Russian Red Cross service have been killed on the battlefield while in the performance of their duty. An official "eye witness" attached to the staff of Grand Duke Nicholas, the Russian' commander-in-chief, says that the nurses have shown conspicuous bravery. The latest victim was Mlle. Lud- mila Alexinsky, who has just died at her hoane near Odessa of blood - poisoning, which followed a wound. Mlle. Alexinsky was wounded in the hand at the battle of Gumbinen. After her recovery she was trans- ferred to the army of General Ruz- ski in Galicia. At Razwadok, a doc- tor, whom she was assisting, was Milled by a bursting shell and Mlle. Alexinsky was badly stunned. Dur- ing the Rsgow-Tusdhin battle she was under fire 17 hours. She was wounded through the shoulder at the storming of Petrokoff, which wound caused her death.

Seven Denies Seen in Russia, Fighting in Ranks of Raiser. The London Daily Chronicle ways; "There appears from time to tune in the Russian papers a stat-ament that women.volunteer's are fighting in the German ranks, and now 'tile Warsaw correspondent of the Dyna; of Petrograd, has actually seen these, amazons among the wounded at present being treated at the Ouyazdoff hospital. He says `there were seven women who were cap- tured while fighting in German uni- forms. They were placed together in a special ward. "Judging by the nature of their wounds they have taken part not only in rifle practice, but also in bayonet attacks. One of them, who had a serious wound, has singe died. They are fine specimens of Teutonic womanhood, and ' the Russian nurses greatly admire their finely developed muscles, which seem to indicate that they have belonged for years to German gymnastic so- cieties. "In captivity they behave with the same haughty and contemptu- ous indifference which characterizes the Prussian officers.' One of the nursing sisters brought to them a Russian newspaper, the Petrograd Herald, which is printed in German but they indignantly rejected the of- fer and said they did not believe anything which appeared in aRus- sian paper, even when printed in German. They refused to talk of their homes and families, but, judg- ing by their demeanor, they seem to belong to the upper or upper -mid- dle class."
