The flag of the " Irish Republic " taken froni the G. P. 0.,is now in possession of the Irish Rifles at Por- tobello barracks. Dr. Brennan, Camolin Dispensary medical officer, who volunteered for the front, has been gazetted to the 'Royal Army Medical Service. Corporation officials, assisted by the fire brigade are making rapid progress in pulling down dangerous walls in and across Sackville Street. The name of Prince Arthur of Con- naught is being talked of in influen- tial circles as a likely and acceptable representative of his Majesty in Ire- land. Until further notice no aliens will be allowed .o land in Ireland unless in possession of a permit to be ob- tainedfrom the Military Permit Of- ficer. Among the losses by fire during the rebellion in Dublin is that of the Bur - bridge Memorial Library, founded by and belonging to the Irish Gardeners' Association. The Military Cross has been award- ed to Second Lieut. Wm. Francis Ellis, 8th Battalion, Royal Inniskilling Fusi- liers. He is son of Mr. James F. Ellis, Rathgar, The "Summer Time Act," which came into operation in Ireland re-. cently, when all clocks were advanced an hour, is stated to be running smoothly. Contrary to general rumors, the R. I. C. depot in Phoenix Park, Dub- lin, was not taken by the Volunteers. The depot was guarded by armed sentries throughout the week. A large number of Irish rebel pri- soners have been sent to internment camps in France. They are to be used for road -making and for other useful work in the rear of the lines. Stating that direct work is "more efficient and economical," the Mount Nugent, County Cavan, Labor Union has passed a resolution calling on the e farmers and laborers to refrain from tendering :for war contracts. A fire which broke out in the stab- les .of the Blumfield Bakery Company at Antrim resulted in six horses be- ing 'burnt to death. Several carts were destroyed and a school and a -dwelling house were damaged. The death has occurred at his resi- dence, Manor -Kilbride, County Dublin, of Mr. Joseph Fletcher Moore, in his Slst year. Mr. Moore was a deputy - lieutenant and justice of the peace for the County Wicklow. A military order was given that corpses be buried in the Rotunda Gar- dens. The order was subsequently -cancelled. The corpses found in Ste- phen's Green, Dublin, after the evac- uation by the insurgents were buried in Dean's Grange. No persons can leave Ireland as passengers on board any vessel ex- cept at the ports of Dublin, Kings- town, Belfast, Larne and Greenore. AB passengers must produce creden- tials or papers of identity and must show valid reason for their journey. COTTON FROM NILE DELTA. Irrigation Will Open Millions of Acres in Egypt. The Egyptian Ministry of Public Works, which has been experimenting in cotton raising during the past ten years in the Gezira region in the Su- dan, has issued an optimistic report to the effect that it will be possible to do better than double the yield f cotton in the Nile delta by means of a system of dams for irrigation in connection with the White Nile and the.Blue Nile, 'rest quantities of water have been stored already, and during the past - thirty years nearly a million acres of entirely new land have been added to the taxable soil of the country. It is estimated that in this newly ex- plored region about 2.500,000 acres of land could be made capable of growing cotton. This, as a matter of fact, would give more land than is now planted with cotton in Egypt. Ir- rigation works are now being con- structed, and a plot of 150,000 acres is being treated. We see here only one of many il- lustrations that might be offered of the modern development of Egypt un- der British guidance, says the Provi- dence Journal. Shape Didn't Matter. Butcher—Will yeti have a round steak, ma'am? Mrs. Youngbride—I don't care • What shape it is'so long as it's tender. • Visitor to Prison—" Do you really think there is honor among thieves ?"

How many women suffer wit headache, pain in the back, poor .appe tite, weak digestion, a constant feelin of weariness, palpitation of the heart shortness of breath, pallor and ner vousnes. Of course all these symp toms may not be present—the mor there are the worse the condition o the blood, and the more necessity tha you should begin to enrich it withou delay. Dr. Williams Pink Pills are be yond doubt the greatest blood-buildin tonic offered to the public today Every dose helps to make new, rich red blood, which goes to every part o the body and brings new health and strength to weak, despondent people. Dr.. Williams Pink Pills are valuable to all women but they are particularly useful to girls of school age who be- come pale, languid and nervous. Thin blood daring, the growing years of a girl's life, uscually means a flat -chested hollow-cheeked womanhood, There can be neither health nor beauty with- out red blood, which gives brightness to the eyes and color to the cheeks and lips. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do all this, as is proved in thousands of cases. Mrs. Wm. Rowe, Carlaw Ave., Toronto, says :—" I have received so much benefit from Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that I feel it my duty to recom- mend them to others. I was about completely prostrated with anaemia. I had no appetite, was terribly weak and subject to fainting spells. I suf- fered greatly from dizziness, and the various other symptoms that accomp- any a bloodless condition. Remedy af- ter remedy was tried, but to no avail until a friend advised me to .try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Before com- pleting the second box, I was again enjoying splendid health, and have since remained in that happy condi- tion." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six•boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams Medi- cine Cd., Brockville, Ont. "TELEPHONE" CURES THIRST. g f t t g • f French Soldier Confesses and Penalty It Cut in Two. A court-martial at the front. The presiding officer, speaking with a dis- tinctly kindly intonation, to the ac- cused: "Now, now, admit that you tele- phoned." "No, my Colonel, I did not tele- phone." "If you confess, you will only have half the penalty." "Well, then, yes, my Colonel, I did telephone." All the court laughed and a nominal sentence was pronounced. The civilian should not imagine that the use of a telephone is a crime in the French army. To "telephone," in army slang is to bore a little hole in a full barrel of wine, to fit a rubber tube thereto and apply the mouth to the other end. The members of the volunteer fire brigade who fought the great Van- couver fire thirty years ago, held a re -union dinner in North Vanvouver. Corp. T. D.

This month's number of La Revue, Paris, describes a new method for transfusion of blood, an operation of- ten necessary under conditions which do not always allow certain precau- tions to be taken. The method is due to Prof. Luis Agote, an Argentine surgeon, and successful experiments have been made before the rector of the Sor- bonne, the dean of the faculty of moecticri. iise, and several professors and d Blood is taken from the bend of the elbow of any subject willing to lend his aid and collected in a recep- tacle which contains a solution of neutral citrate of sora, prepared in the proportion of one gram of salt for 100 grammes of blood. This mixture prevents the blood from coagulating without distroying its vital properties, and as the citrate employed is inoffensive to the organ- ism it can be injected into the fore- arm without danger, thus obviating the chief drawbacks to the transfu- sion as generally practiced. The receptacle for the blood drawn is in graduated glass with double tub- ing and has a large enough opening to allow the blood to fall directly into it. The end is pointed to allow the tube for injection to collect the maxi- muin of blood without allowing air to enter. From three to five grams of solution are placed in it, being a suf- ficient quantity for 800 grams of blood. A COMEDY OF BEANS. French Beat the Germans in Ruse to Get Seed. From a certain large camp in Ger- many every letter written in early spring by a French prisoner made the demand to have kidney beans sent. Letter after letter arrived, beg- ging for beans and still more beans There was some surprise in Paris at this sudden and insistent call for beans, but many large packets were mailed. At last some one "tumbled." The Germans had compelled their prisoners to procure bean seed for them. • The French continued to send the beans—but they first carefully plung- ed them Into boiling water. The Ger- mans will wait a long time for a crop from these beans. HEALTHY BABIES • SLEEP -WELL AT MGM' A well child sleeps well and during its waking hours is never cross, but always happy and laughing. It is only the sickly child that is cross and peev- ish. Mothers, if your children do not sleep well ; if they are cross and cry a great deal, give them Baby's Own Tablets and they will soon be well and happy again. Concerning the Tablets Mrs. Chas. Diotte, North Temascam- ing, Qne., writes My baby was greatly troubled with constipation and cried night and day. I• began giving her Baby's Own Tablets and now she is fat and healthy and sleeps well at night." -The-Tablets are sold by medi- cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box, from The Dr, Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. SIGHT FOR THREE MONTHS Operation Will Enable Blind Soldier to See for Short Time Only. An Australian soldier, blinded in the war, has been told by his doctors that they can perform an operation which will restore his sight, but that the effects of the operation cannot last more than three months, when he will become totally blind for life, says London Opinion. The soldier is hav- ing the operation performed, and meantime he has mapped out every hour of the three months during which he is to enjoy his sight, There are certain relatives and friends in Anstralia he has planned to see, also certain places chiefly associated with his boyhood days. The thne con- sumed in the voyage home—for the operation must be performed there— he bitterly grudges, but he has grown accustomed to accepting the inevit- able, however poignant. He says his first glance will be at the face of the nurse by whom he has been tended, whose appearance has been minutely described to him. 1 think this gallant fellow's brief respite from blindness, with its possibilitiet, and the remorse less advance of the doom of darkness upon him again, is as moving and tragic -a story of the war as I have heard.

French Minister of Finance Ribot expects to add $4,500,000 to the na- tion's income by his new tax on dogs, There are 900,000 dogs kept for pleas- ure in France and 2,700,000 watch dogs. The former must pay $2 each and the latter $1, Minard's Liniment Lumberman's Prieng Its Present Color.

The outlying islands in the west of Scotland have given their best for the service of the country since the outbreak of war, and there are few men left to carry on the ordinary oc- cupations. In the remote Island of Lewis, the roll of honor was con- sidered worthy of being submitted to the King, who has expressed his ap- preciation in a telegram from Wind- sor. Out of a population of 28,000 close on 4,500 are with the colors, and in many villages on the island not a man eligible for military ser- vice remains.

Canadian National Exhibition Will Feature It. Through the woci display of th Dominion Live Stock Branch, Ottawa which will be presented at the Call adian National Exhibition, farmers wi be given a splendid opportunity fo obtaining a thorough knowledge o the sheep and wool industry of Can ada. The exhibit has been prepare by T. Reg. Arkell, chief of the Sheep and Goat Division of the Branch, who will be in charge with Mr. James A. Telfer as demonstrator. The object of the exhibit will be to explain the various classifications and grades, and to show how wool mayhandled be in such a way as to secure the best ad- vantages to both the producer and buyer. In order to command the highest market prices, wools should be presented in a carefully folded and packed condition and should contain as little foreign matter as possible. Actual demonstrations in grading and sorting will be given daily by wool ex- perts. One of the most interesting and instructive features will be same pies of wool in both the greasy and scoured condition, showing the injuri- ous effects of using insoluble paints, which are difficult to remove, rather than the standard dipping fluids for marking purposes. Samples of wool that have been tied with binder twin will show how the sisal fibre becomes incorporated into the wool with the consequent defect in the finished pro- duct. The injurious effects of shear- ing wool while damp or permitting it to become' damp while in storage, will be shown, together with the damage caused by the incorporation of ern-, and chaff into the fleece.
