Injuries To The Eye,
There are so many ways in which
our eyes can be injured as we go
about our daily work or play that it
is remarkable that they are not injur-
ed oftener than they are, One rea-
son is that employers are taking much
more care to protect the eyes of work-
men. In workshops where men have
to grind tools on emery wheels, the
eye is constantly exposed to flying
chips; protective goggles now save a
good many workmen from blindness.
The same is true of men who work
with hot metals. Such accidents—
industrial injuries they are called—
are always serious, because they hap-
pen to men who are the wage earners
of their families.
Then there are the non -industrial
injuries, which greatly outnumber the 1
others, and which are of a kind that
may happen to anyone ab any time.
An astonishing number of accidents
occur because careless mothers let
their children play with such things
as buttonhooks, scissors, forks and
other objects that should never get
into the hands of infants. And that
more children do not suffer in their
daily games seems like a special dis-
pensation of Providence, when you
consider the pointed sticks and the
popping toys with which so many
games are carried on. There is a
dangerous street game, called "the may be one without children.

a Commonwealth Government com-
mission to inquire into the possibility
of introducing white labor • into the
pearling industry has drafted a re-
port which will recommend that mat-
ters be left largely as they are at
present. That is to say virtually that
white men are not a success as pearl
divers. "Pearling," remarks an Aus-
tralian pearler, "is a precarious "busi-
ness and many men go `broke', at it,
But as with mining there is a peculiar
fascination about it. You never know
your luck. Once a man embarks in
the game he generally keeps going in
the hope of some day striking a pearl
of great price."

During some recent heavy route
marching in Aldershot an Irish rifle-
man; called Pat Doolan, was admitted
into the hospital suffering from rheu-
matism, Pat would have enjoyed his
new quarters very well, only he was
debarred from sending for or receiv-
Ing intoxicating liquors.
One day, however, Pat determined
to preach the subject to the surgeon,
and, accordingly, when the latter visit-
ed the wards and inquired if there
were any complaints, our hero in-
nocently asked for a change of diet.
"What change of diet would you
like?" asked the surgeon.
"Sure," says Pat, "Oi'd loike a bot-

Mr. Vincent Brow, Havre Boucher,. N.

relief. Then on the advice of a friend

PROVE THEIR LOYALTY.
French Colonies Render Mother
Country Valuable Service.
Few people, not even the French,
fully realized previous to the war the.
extent and value of French colonial
possessions. An editorial writer in
a French newspaper recently admitted
that his government would have been
completely self-supporting in the mat-
ter of materials for munition fac-
tories if it had organized and develop-
ed the mines in its colonies. As a
matter of fact, the war, which arous-
ed the hearty co-operation of the col-
onists, has convinced France that she
is a richer and more important na-
tion than she thought she was.
Even a brief resume of French col-
onial aid is irnpressive, The ranks
of the army have been reinforced by
hundreds of thousands of Algerians,
Tunisians, natives of Morocco and
Senegalese. The war factories em-
ploy 15,000 natives from North Africa
and an equal number of skilled An-
namites from Cochin China. Eight
thousand Annarnites are working in
the Red Cross organization. Natives
of Madagascar are enrolled as en-
gineers and New Caledonians are at
work in the mines.
Indo-China .recently added more
than $2,000,000 to its budget for send-
ing foodstuffs to France. North
Africa has sent 1,000,000 tons of cer-
eals to France and also to Great Brit-
ain and Italy, Algeria has supplied
2,500,000 sheep and 60,000 cattle. Mo-
rocco has contributed a great number
of eggs. Madagasear has sent meat
and preserves, Sat. Pierre and Mique-
Ion salted fish, the Antilles and
Reunion more than 100,000 tons of
sugar. Wool, rubber, graphite, nic-
kel, chromium and many other use-
ful materials have been obtained from
French colonies.

:home -Made Fireless Cooker.
A fireless cooker is ahnost a neces-
sity in the up-to-date kitchen, but the
expense is a serious consideration
with the young housewife. However,
a very satisfactory substitute can be
✓ made at virtually no cost and will
ch prove an economical. means of boiling
and stewing. Get a stout wooden
box, if possible with a hinged lid; line
' I it with newspapers or packing paper;
d then cover the papers with baize or
n felt. Cover the lid inside in the same
• manner. Press enough hay firmly
• into the bottom of the box to form a
compact layer six inches deep. Fill
e the box with hay, pressing it well
er against the sides, and make nests for
the pans or casseroles you intend to
e use, leaving a partition of hay be-
tween the top of the pots and the box
lid. To fill this space you make a
mattress like cushion of baize and fill
it tightly with hay. It must fit the
top of the box tightly and be six
inches thick. See the contents of the
pans are absolutely boiling when put
in. If opened during cooking they
must be reboiled. You can make any
kind of stew, of meat, game or poul-
try, by cooking it over the fire in the
usual way for twenty minutes, and
when boiling putting it into the hay
box, Covering it up with the cushion,
shutting up the lid and leaving it six
hours. Lentil, pea or mixed vege-
table soups require thirty minutes'
boiling on the fire and four hours in
the hay box, Boiled meat requires
thirty minutes' boiling for a small
joint and forty-five for one df five
pounds and four to five hours in the
hay box. Beefsteak pudding requires
an hour's steady boiling on the fire
and four to five hours in the hay box;
suet pudding the same. Soft vege-
tables, like potatoes, and cereals, like e
rice, sago, tapioca, macaroni, require
five minutes' boiling and one and a
half hours in the box. Haricot beans,
lentils, carrots, turnips, require
twenty minutes' boiling and three
hours in the box. Oatmeal por:•idge
can be cooked fifteen minutes on the
fire, then left all night in the box, and
be given five minutes an the fire be-
fore serving at breakfast. Any kind
. of fruit can be stewed in the hay box.
It is best to make a syrup of sugar
and water, add cloves, lemon or any
flavoring liked, bring to,the boil, add
the fruit and let it simmer ten min-
utes; put into the cooker and leave
three hours. SrnaiI fruit takes less
time. Any dish that is to be eaten
hot must be brot ght to the boil after
taking it out of the hay box before
serving,
