One-third of the Regina fire brigade are now with the colors. The Manitoba Agricultural College will have a recotd number of students Lis 'winter. Saskatchewan farmers set aside 5,000 acres on which to grow grain for patriotic purposes. The estimated loss in the operation of the Regina Street Railway system for 1915,amounts to $116,875. ,Farmers in Saskatchewan are buy- ing much lumber for the purpose of building granaries to store their wheat. Miss Queenie Yuill, of Regina, has entered on a five-year course at the Manitoba Medical College for the degree of M.D. When the Alberta Legislature next e meets it may amend the Election Act so that illiterates will be excluded • from voting. Rhoda Violet Williams, a 14 -year- old North Battleford girl, has passed her exams. as, associate of the Lon- don College of Music. Convicted of a breach of the Sas- katchewan Sales of Liquor Act, a Regina bartender was fined $200 and sent to jail for a month and a half. Coyotes have become so numerous in country districts of the Middle West that farmers are alarmed for the welfare of their smaller domestic animals. Stanley Fisher, an 8 -year-old Win- nipeg boy, didn't know a gun was loaded, and shot and killed a com- panion in showing him what he would do to a German. The Secretary of the Regina Bur- eau of Public Welfare, reports that a number of those assisted by the bureau last winter have paid back the amounts advanced to them. The director of prosecution, under the new Saskatchewan Liquor Act, has issued a statement showing that there have been 81 convictions for infraction of the act to date. Doctors of Regina and their friends have colected $1,423 during the past two weeks for the Saskatchewan Field Hospital Unit. A total of $40,000 is needed to equip the gift. William Short, ex -Mayor of Ed- monton, said at a meeting of the Development League: "If we are to succeed in Edmonton we will have to sweep away municipal ownership." He declared that the city had become municipal -ownership mad. A report of the Saskatchewan De- partment of Agriculture estimates the total yield of wheat in the pro- vince at 133,490,027 bushels, of oats at 113,884,821 bushels, of barley at 8,972,107 bushels, and of flax at 5,- 000,000 ;000,000 bushels approximately. A Winnipeg firm had an old safe which had not been opened for years, the combination being lost. It was thought the safe contained noth- ing but old books. An expert opened the safe and found nearly $800 in good money inside, which had been entirely forgotten. Going to a fire, a $300 horse, be- longing to the Winnipeg Fire De- partment, was killed when a fire truck collided with a street car. The farmers of Saskatchewan will give the Government 100,000 bushels of wheat as a patriotic gift. The wheat will be made into flour and sent to the Imperial Government. Homestead entries in Western Canada for the first seven months of 1915 totalled 10,279, a decrease of 5,- 843, ;843, as compared with the correspond- ing period of last year. There were 2,945 fewer entries in Saskatchewan, 3,002 fewer in Alberta, and 145 fewer in British Columbia. In Manitoba the entries this year have totalled 2,- 350 as compared with 2,092 last year. "MISTRESS OF THE SEASP Senator Charles Humbert, who led the great munitions campaign in France, and who has just concluded a visit to Britain, publishes in his news- paper, Le Journal, an article highly eulogizing Britain's war machine. "Everybody knows," he writes, "that the British Fleet was considerably superior to the German Fleet at the outbreak of the war, but what is not generally known is that the activity on naval construction of our excellent Ally in the past year has attained almost unimaginable proportions. The extraordinary reinforced British Fleet can laugh at its miserable enemy. We cannot too warmly congratulate Great Britain on refraining from resting content with her proud superiority. 'Mistress of the Seas,' she remains the supreme arbiter of peace. Her territory constitutes an inviolable re- doubt of European defence against German barbarism. From her iln- pregnable melt will flow out a stream of armaments against which German obstinacy will wear itself down." Chest Colds and hoarseness quickly Rubbed Away "Nerviline" Gives Speedy Relief and Cures Over Night.,. Got a cold? Is your voice raspy—is your chest congested or sore? If so, you are the very person that Nerviline will cure in a jiffy. Nerviline is strong and penetrating. It sinks right into the tissued, takes out inflammation and soreness, de- stroys colds in a truly wonderful way. Rub Nerviline over the chest -rub on lots of it, and watch that tightness disappear. Nerviline won't blister, it sinks in too fast—doesn't simply stay on the surface like a thick, oily lini- ment would. If the throat is raspy and sore, rub it well outside with Nerviline, and use Nerviline as a gar- gle diluted with warm water. Just one or two treatments like this and your voice and throat will be quick normal again. Just think of it—for forty years the largest used family medicine in this country—Nerviline must be good, must quickly relieve and cure a hun- dred ills that befall every family. Try it for earache, toothache, coughs, colds, sore chest, hoarseness and mus- cular pains in every part of the body. Large family size bottle, 50c.; trial size 25c. at all' dealers. CHOOSING A CAREER. Parents Should Study Character of Their Children. - It is very important that children should be allowed a voice in choosing a business career for themselves, and that their tastes should be considered before they are put out into the busi- ness world. It is because they are not consulted in the matter of a future livelihood that so many square pegs live on in round holes. Many a young man who fails to make a footing for himself in the pro- fessional world, or the world of trade, does so because he is in the wrong en- vironment. He might have done well had he followed a different occupation, but possibly he was hurried into tak- ing the first "job" that came along, and was afterwards fearful of giving it up lest he might be stranded. There are born leaders and born followers among men, but unfortu- nately they are not always rightly placed in the world, and the real gen- erals have to take a back seat while the lieutenants rule, ,and in this way chaos comes, for the able lieutenant is often a very bad general. It is for parents to study the char- acters of their children and to help them, as far as possible in choosing the right profession, and concentrat- ing their energies on what will be most helpful to them in the future. Let the young benefit by the experi- ence of their elders, and avoid waste of time by taking up an uncongenial occupation that will be adherred to only for a time. The specialist always has the ad - .vantage of the man who can only do the work that scores of other men can do, and it is well, therefore, to become a specialist, if possible. HARD ON CHILDREN When Teacher Has the Habit. "Best is best, and best will ever live." When a person feels this way about Postum they are glad to give testimony for the benefit of others. A school teacher writes: "I had been a coffee drinker since . my child- hood, and the last few years it had injured me seriously." (Tea produces about the same effects as coffee, be- cause they both contain the drugs, caffeine and tannin). "One cup of coffee taken at break- fast would cause me to become so nervous that I could scarcely go through with the day's duties, and this nervousness was oftenaccom- panied by deep depression of spirits and heart palpitation: "I am a teacher by profession, and when under the influence of coffee had to struggle against crossness when in the school room. "When talking this over with my physician, he suggested that I try Postum, 'so I purchased a package and made it carefully according to the di- rections; found it excellent of flavour, and nourishing. "In a short time I noticed very gratifying effects. My nervousness disappeared, I was not irritated by my pupils, life seemed full of sun- shine, and my, heart troubled me no longer. "I attribute my change in health and spirits to Postum alone." Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont. Postum conies in two forms: Postum Cereal—the original form— must be well boiled. 15c and 25e packages. Instant Postum--a soluble powder --dissolves quickly in a eup of hot •water, and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage instantly. 30c and 50c tins. Both kinds are equally delicious and cost about the saute per cup. "There's a Reason" for Postum. —sold by Grocers. THE BASIS, OF PROPELLANTS. How Cotton Is Prepared for Use in Explosives. Cotton, in the form of nitrocellulose is the most important component of all military propulsive explosives. Strictly speaking, the <raw material used is cotton waste, dr the stuff re- jected in the manufacture or cotton goods'. .Jute, ramie, kapok fibre, sul- phite pulp, spun cotton, and , other forms of cellulose, have all been tried, but the only trustworthy material ise cotton waste. According to Nature, the method of producing a satisfac- tory. form of nitrocellulose from cot- ton waste is as follows: The waste is hand-picked, so as to remove the grosser impurities. The product is combed, picked once more, and then dried. Then comes the nitration pro- cess, which consists in immersing the purified waste in a mixture composed of twenty-one per cent. of nitric and seventy-one per cent. of sulphuric acid and eight per cent. of water. Af- ter the mixed acids have acted for the required time, they are poured off, and the guncotton is washed to re- move as much of the acid as possible, and is further purified by being boiled several times in water. The boiling is of great importance, for in that part of the process the unstable— that is, the quickly explosive bodies produced during nitration are dis- solved or decomposed, and so leave the nitrocellulose in a condition to be safely handled. Lastly the cotton is reduced to pulp, washed again, then partly dried, and moulded under pres- sure into the required shape. No other form of nitrated cellulose is so effective. HEALTHY CHILDREN A child's health depends upon the state of his stomach and bowels. If they are kept regular and sweet the little one is sure to be healthy. Baby's Own Tablets are the mother's best friend in keeping her little ones well. They act as a gentle laxative; are absolutely safe and are pleasant to take. Concerning them Mrs. David Label, Ste. Perpetue, Que., writes:— "My baby was so troubled with consti- pation that he could not sleep day or night. I gave him Baby's Own Tab- lets and now he is a big healthy boy." The Tablets are sold by medicine deal- ers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. THE SHIPS THAT KEEP THE SEA. British Fleet •Is Always Ready, for Battle. Britons had no special need to have their faith in the navy re -inspired. It has never been lacking. Every day of immunity from German attack by sea; says the Ayrshire (Scotland) Post, has been its warrant; every day, too, of the skulking of the enemy in the Kiel Canal. It lies there, helpless, and not a single German craft, militant or peaceful, dare ven- ture out into the blue seas. It is cheering, none the less, to read the account furnished by the accredited representative of the United States who has been permitted to visit the British ships, and to see with his own eyes how they look, and how they fare, and how sufficient they are for their work. There are the submarine hunters. By officers and men the sub- marine is regarded as "great sport." It appeals to them. On a chart the American was shown marked points that indicated where many submar- ines were either captured, or sunk, or supposed to be sunk. The auxiliary fleet, trawlers, mine -sweepers, and other like craft, number 2,300. Out on the North.Sea are the patrols, and were these to report the slightest sign of the enemy, the big ships are ready to respond ata moment's notice. And the big ships themselves, "the im- mense field of grey shapes at anchor in precise order, which as one drew nearer became line after line of Dreadnoughts!" As compared . with some of the later monsters, the Queen Elizabeth, home from the Dardanelles, looked small. In her place in what is called "The Cat Squadron," lay the Tiger, the same Tiger that the Ger- mans claim to have sent to the floor of the North Sea. And overhead sailed the seaplanes keeping guard over the monsters dozing at their an- chor chains. Sir John Jellicoe, with his telescope under his arm, Beatty, Sturdee, and the rest -of the squadron commanders, impressive in their youth, and all of unslacking vigilance, the bluejackets healthier than they were in peace times and constantly kept up to the mark in drill and in shooting, and in readiness for action at a moment's notice—all combine to make complete a satisfying picture. And from Jellicoe down they are all agreed that, if ever Germany had a chance on the North, Sea, she has none no*. It is Britannia that rules it. It is Britannia that keeps the sea. Germania sees to the canal. Miss gossip --"Mrs. Fewyears tells me she wasn't 16 when she was niar- ried." Miss Telltale—"Well, I should say she wasn't. She was 29."

Brigadier McKenzie, of the Salva- tion Army, who is one of the chap- lains with the Australian forces at the Dardanelles, has frequently been under fire. He conducted the burial service at the interment of Colonel Onslow Thomson's remains. "It was very gratifying to find our colonel's body," he writes. "We buried it at nine o'clock, after dark, as it lay in an exposed position. I had to kneel down and keep my head and body in a crouching position while reading the burial service. Hundreds of bullets swept over us while this was going on." Alcohol Gives Way to Tea. The restriction of the sale of spirits in England has resulted in a greatly increased consumption of tea, and even though the new laws regarding the use of alcohol should be relaxed after the war a large percentage of people will have acquired a perman- ent taste for nature's stimulant—tea. Undoubtedly the consumption of tea is increasing throughout the world, and will continue to increase at a greater rate during the next few yeas, and until the supply can cope with the demand higher prices for tea must be expected. .

Pierre Lord has discovered that an ordinary flower lot can be utilized to keep butter, water, and other things cool during the hottest of summer days. An ordinary flowerpot will serve the purpose well, in fact any clay jar, or common unglazed earthenware pot, will answer. All that is necessary is to moisten a cloth with strong salt water and keep it over the top of the flowerpot. The ends should drop down into • a soup dish or basin in which the flowerpot should stand. This draining dish must be kept full of water all the time. A dark, cool pantry is a good place in which to keep the clay pot or jar. Another way is to wrap a layer of burlap round a porous jar. The wa- ter is placed in the jar and exposed to a current of air on a dark window sill, with the windows open and the shutters closed. The water inside the porous receptacle percolates in a mi- croscopic moisture to the outer sur- face. The burlap wrapping maintains such a slow rate of evaporation that the pot is kept cold, and that cools the contents.

Corns Cure uick Inland Towns House Large Number of Soldiers. The city of Ipswich, England, the chief knowledge of which to Cana- dian readers comes through the post- humous papers of the Pickwick Club with an introduction to George Nup- kins, Esq., mayor of that city, is now reported to be consumed with envy of its neighbors, Norwich and Colches- ter, for while Ipswich folk receive only half a crown a day—that is about 60 cents in our currency—for lministering to the comforts of a sol- dier billeted upon them, the billeting rate at these other places is about 84 cents a day. Householders are threa- tened that if they should grumble "central feeding" will be adopted and billets be required only for lodging at 9 pence, that is 18 cents, a day. A story is going that when central feed- ing was in force the rations were so bad that a rebellious soldier hung to a lamp -post a sample ration and this sentiment: Your king and country need you; And this is how they feed you!
