Having Filled Men's Positions They Will Not Wish to Leave Them. f d Y s P y Y t n t t g s 0 2 e e k s a e f e n s e t r 1 h t n n e 1 n 0 e 1 e t s in r n "What is going to happen then? We do not know, but we must find remedies. Here are the only ones I see: "Man must give up alcoholism, and we must help him to do so by doing away with the •excuse that the saloon is the poor man's club. "Man must respect woman and no longer trust her as a frail, ignorant creature predestined to submission. "The abominable institution of dow- ry must disappear. People must give up marrying merely to `establish' themselves at the end of their youth. They must marry while they are young with the intention of living to- gether all their lives, sharing the struggles, the failures and the suc- cesses. ' "Mothers must teach their sons to respect woman. "No honest woman must rest as long as she knows that there exist women who are forced to sell' them- selves for physical or moral reasons." The question of what the fate o the women of France will be after the war is generally occupying the French mind. Monsieur Briux, the well-known author of "La Femme Soule" an member of the French academ , writes on this subject: "When our soldiers return from the front and have received all the honor due thein and hung up their laurel wreaths, they will want to take u again their old occupations, but the will then find their places occupied b women who have •been forced by ne- cessity to take up this work, and who will have to be persuaded to get ou . "The women will say: `I have grow used to making my own living. I can perform work .of which you though me incapable and I have proved i. I have been accustomed, to the feelin of independence which a salary give. I am here, and here I will remain. G away and leave me alone.' "The men will answer: 'The wa is over. I have suffered out they while defending my country, my free- dom and my right to work. I hav come back glorious. I was tired, but new I have had a rest. Give me bac my position.' Both Will Be Right. "Men and women will both be right, and it is always when two adversarie are both right that the fight becomes most bitter." M. Brieux says that it is well that the discussion of this dispute shoul be taken up now and, if possible, som means found to arrive at a solution. He declares that the woman o France has been wonderful during th -war, that she has won the admiratio of the entire world, and has thu earned the right to be treated as th equal of man. "If you say to her tha she has not shed her blood fo France," he goes on to say, "she wit point to the empty chair where ought to sit her son, the flesh of her fles and blood of her blood. That argu • cent will be unanswerable. "Itis not only on the farms tha our women have done men's work. I the towns and cities we have see waitresses in the cafes and femal conductors on our street cars. Women have worthily and effectively wor the policeman's helmet. We hay seen women perform work which w thought far beyond their physics strength, and in the future it will b ridiculous to speak of `woman's weal physique.' This 'weak physique' ha been strong enough to do work foundries and arms factories. Women have even helped to make heavy guns. "Our women of to -day have eats of the forbidden fruit—forbidden to them not by God, but by man. They have learned and they know what they are capable of doing. The veil has been torn asunder, Suggested Remedies. • He Was Experienced. Mrs. Aytoun wanted, some new shoes, so she went into a shop, when an obliging assistant brought out a selection for her to try on. "That's strange, madam," said he, after many vain attempts to fit her. "Ono of your feet is larger than ,the other," Bristling with rage,the lady left that shop and sought another. Here, again, the assistant jailed to find a Hair which would do. "low curious, madam!" he said. "One of your feet is smaller than the other." And, with a beaming smile, Mrs. Aytoun. bought two pair Storks will feed upon locusts until they are too full to fly.

Mrs. Wiseman was one of those wo- men who always know. Whatever the subject under discussion, she had her own opinions, and made other peo- ple have them, too. "Joshua," said she to her husband one evening. "I saw in this morning's paper that old Mr. Biffer died on Sat- urday." "It was a mistake," mumbled Josh- ua, as he bent down to unlace his shoes; "he died on Friday." "But the paper said Saturday," re- peated Mrs, Wiseman, firmly. "I know it did," persisted Joshua, "but it was an error in the print." "I thought that at first," said the lady decidedly, "but I got half a dozen copies of the paper and it was the same in all of them. And they cer- tainly couldn't have made the same mistake over and over again like that!" Minard's Liniment Relieves Neuralgia. May Come To This. "Is this a ten cent store?"

The reading lesson was on, and the word "furlough" occurred. Miss Jones, the teacher, asked if any little girl or boy knew the meaning of the word. One small hand Vas raised. "Furlough means a neule,t' said the child. "Oh, no; it doesn't," said the teacher. "Yes, ma'am," insisted the little girl, "I have a book at home that says so." Miss Jones told the child to bring the book to school. The next morning the child came armed with a book, and triumphantly showed a picture of an American soldier rid- ing a mule, under which was the cap- tion—"Going home on his furlough." MORE BABIES FOR EMPIRE. Large Family WW be Regarded As a National Asset. "The war after the war ' will be won by the nation which :encourages early -marriages and large families." These words were used by en emu inent London physician in an inter- view with the London Daily Express. He spoke on the subjects which Sit Leo Chiozza Money, M.P., dealt with recently—the need for more abund- antly populating the British Empire and the peril of the families of oir.e or twe children, "My experience shows that, given good stock to start with, large fami- lies show no deterioration among the younger branches," said the physi- cian. "On the contrary, I frequently find that the best bodies, and em- phatically the best brains, occur, say, with the fourth, fifth, sixth or seventh child. "Married people who prefer small families risk the possibility of losing a genius which might have 'com'e in a fourth or fifth child. Parsons set a good example, as a rule, in the size of their families, and they •are usually fine families, too. "In Germany, early marriages and large, very large, families are the rule. I have seen a father, mother, and twenty-four children, all robust and bright, 'going to church. • "Bachelors who postpone marrying until they are thirty-five or forty act foolishly for themselves and the race. It is one of the weak points in our social system that men do not marry young." THANKFUL MOTHERS Thousands of thankful mothers throughout Canada—many of them your own neighbors—speak with the 'greatest praise of that splendid medi- cine, Baby's Own • Tablets. Many mothers would have no other medicine for their little ones. Among these is Mrs. Albert Nie, St. Brieux, Sask., who says: "I have been using Baby's Own Tablets for the past seven years and they have done my four children a world of good. I would not be with- out them." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box'" from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. HORSES SHAM SICKNESS. French Army Veterinarians Are Cott_ vinced. #,' Shamming by war horse's to, avoi' the battle front, discredited at first, seems now well established, says a Paris dispatch. French army veterinarians have found from close observation that certain horses fall most unaccountably i11 when in bombarded regions. They lie down and seem too weak and ner- vous to move, or go lame. When they are sent back to the veterinary camp in the rear, in a day or two they are all right again. This has happened in so many cases that it has become a matter beyond dispute that the animals sham sick- ness to get away from a spot where they have to do strange work under strange conditions and where con- stantly horrible things make terrify- ing noises.

An American who fought with the French gives in the Atlantic Monthly a lively description of a successful at- tack on the enemy's trenches and the capture of many German prisoners: Our line was wearing thin. Half- way to the third trench we were re- inforced. The ground in our rear was covered with our men. All at once calve a change. The German artillery in front ceased firing, and the next second 'we saw the reason why. In the' trench ahead the German troops were pouring out in black masses and advancing toward us at a trot. Was it a counter-attack? Then, as sudden- ly our own artillery ceased firing and the mystery became plain. The Ger- mans were approaching in columns of four, officers to the front, hands held i in the air; and as they came closer we could distinguish the steady cry, "Kameraden! Kameraden!" They were surrendering. Out flew • our knives, and in less time than it • d• -,,.t ee'e4, tell it weehad mingled among the prisoners, slicing off their trouser buttons, cutting off suspenders and hacking through belts. We cut the laces off all their shoes, and thus slop- ping along, their hands helplessly in their breeches pockets to keep their trousers from falling round their ankles, shuffling their feet to keep their boots on, the huge column of prisoners was sent to the rear with a few soldiers to direct rather than to guard them. As the Germans had left the trenches, their artillery had paused, thinking it a counter-attack. Now, as file after file was escorted to the rear and it became apparent that the men had surrendered, the German ar- tillery- opened up again furiously. Six shells landed at the same instant in almost the sane place, and within a few minutes Section 3 of our company had almost disappeared. which appeared in last week's issue, earns • the Toronto Fat Stock Show are giv- ing special attention to farmers and breeders, and are offering many hand- some prizes for classes where stock must be bred, fed and owned by the exhibitors.

Attending to Business. "You say the officer arrested you while you were quietly minding your own business?' "Yes, your honor. He caught me suddenly by the coat -collar and threat- ened to truncheon ine unless I accom- panied him quietly to the station." "You were peaceably attending to your own business, making no noise or disturbance of any kind?" "None whatever, sir." , "It seems very strange. What is yoru business?" "I'm a burglar." Heroes Poor Talkers. Heroes are poor talkers, says the New ;York Sun. Lieutenant Robin- son, who, from the seat of a frail aeroplane, attacked and brought down a huge Zeppelin during a reeent raid on London, could command only "SIX words when there was presented to him a purse made up by the shipping men: "Thanks.

The habit of taking digestive pills af- ter meals makes chronic dyspeptics of many thousands of men and women be- cause artificial digestents. drugs and medicines have practically no influence upon the excessively acid condition of the stomach contents which is the cause of most forms of indigestion and dys- pepsia, The after dinner pi11 merely lessens the sensitiveness of the stomach nerves and thus gives a fa.ise sense of freedom from pain. If those who are subject to indigestion, gas, flatulence, belching, bloating, heartburn, etc., after eating, would get 'about an ounce of pure Mo- tivated magnesia from their druggist and take a teaspoonful in a little water after niealss, there would be no further necessity for drugs or medicines be- cause bisurated magnesia, instantly neutralizes stomach acidity, stops rood fermentation and thus insures normal, painless digestion by enabling the stom- ach to do its work without hindrance. To Help Restore Louvain. A committee of leading Russian scholars and professors has been es- tablished to assist the French com- mission to restore the world-renown- ed library of Louvain, in Belgium, which was burned by the Germans in the early days of the war. The Grand Duke Nieolas Miohajlovich is chair- man of the committee. Great philosophers and statesmen have been noticed to have large and sloping ears. The River Orinoco, in South Amer- ica, is over three miles broad for nearly half its course, while during floods the width, even at places far fronrthe sea., is often a hundred miles, A NEW SERVICE. Now Possible to Send a Day Letter by Telegraph. - Zbir, j, McMillian, who has initiated many notable impro,verr efits since he became General Manager of the C,P,R, Telegraphs eighteen months ago, has just decided to inaugurate an important service entirely new to Canada over the hundred and ten thousand miles of wire under his immediate control, namely, the day letter which may now be sent between points in Canada on the Canadian Pa- cific system at a rate very much re- duced as compared with the usual commercial rush telegram. Mr. Mc- Millan is,convinced that many of those who.send telegrams would be quite satisfied if these arrived on the same day, whereas a proportion of the cost of the rush telegram is due to the cost of speedy delivery. The day letter of fifty words will be rated at one and a half times the cost of a regular rush message of ten words and can still bring an answer the same day, which is as quick as many people desire. There are sixteen hun- dred C.P.R. telegraph offices through- out Canada, at each of which the new service will be in force, so that this will be a Dominion -wide service j stretching from Louisburg, Nova Scotia, to Victoria, B.C. Messages 1 will be taken in either French or Eng lish, code words not being permissible. Mr. John McMillan owes his suc- cess to a genial and tactful disposi- I tion which made him one of the most popular C.P.R. officials in the West, where his work centred until he was called to the head office in Montreal last year. Although less than fifty years of age, he joined the C.P.R. at its inception, working on construction in 1883. After acting for a number of years as operator at Donald B.C., he became Inspector of Telegraphs at Winnipeg in 1902, Assistant Super- tendent in 1906, Superintendent at Calgarry in 1907, General Superintend- ent at Winnipeg in 1913, and finally Manager of the whole telegraph sys- tem in March, 1915.

Solomonic Decision. Two brothers inherited a farm and quarrelled violently as to its division. Now there lived in their village a cer- tain shrewd and wise old man, noted for the soundness of his advice. Him the brothers determined to appoint arbitrator. Whatever he said they would abide by. They laid the mat- ter before him. For a long while he thought, then delivered judgment. "You," said he, pointing to the elder, "shall divide the farm as you think fair. And you," he continued, point- ing to the younger "shall have the first choice," Heartless Dad. "You shall not marry the cub, and that settles it." "But he loves me father. Vows he would die for me."
