The New York World publishes the following from a staff correspondent at British headquarters on the Somme: Whatever may be the development of the next few weeks, one thing which most impressed me in the four days' visit which I have made to the British front is the complete readi- nese of the colossal British war ma- chine in France to meet the rigors of a third Winter there. The Germans argue that cold weather will stem. the _ngle-French attacks in the west, thus giving the Germans opportunity to "dig in" for the winter, but this is the furthest thing from the mind of any one in the British army with whom I came in contact. The slogan of this army is, "Hammer the Ger- mans, and hammer them unceasing - 13a1). No Settling Down. Bad weather may hinder certain operations, but the shell heaps in France indicate no decrease in the strafing. There is an ominous steadi- ness about it at other parts of the line than the Somme sector even now. In the zone adjacent to the fighting line, especially in the Somme sector, it looks as if the British army had no idea of settling down now; they've got going, and the British soldier is absolutely convinced of the magnifi- cent organization back of him. No one who has not seen the work- ings of the main arteries behind this fighting force can realize fully how Tommy Atkins has come to be known as the best equipped, best fed, best cared for soldier in this, the biggest of all wars. Soldiers Well Cared For. The critical winter of 1914 now is only a memory. There is sure to be mud aplenty in Flanders and France this winter, in the trenches and out of them, but there are more means of relieving distress than there were two years ago. This vast war machine takes all things into account. The British fighting man is sure of being well clothed, fed and cared for, and even his sense of amusement is cater- ed to by better developed forms of entertainment. The Rest Camps. I have visited several of the highly developed base hospitals and rest camps. These latter institutions do incalculable good service. Thousands of men pass through them, especially in winter. The average stay is ten days, and thele they are fit again for the fighting line. Especial attention is given to shell -shock cases, which are treated by baths. Some men have been through these institutions nine times during the war. Patients are given a diagnosis which makes. it possible to separate the really seri- ous cases from these which can be cured at the rest bases. "We must think of the next battle while taking care of the men already wounded," said one of the officers who care for and expedite the jour- ney of the wounded. PEOPLE HAVE TWO BRAINS. One Ministers to Body and Serves in an Emergency. Nature, according to a new theory, has given us two brains just as she has given us a pair of eyes, hands, and ears, which help each other to do the work of the body. Everyone has two brains, but he only uses one for intellectual pur- poses. If a man is right-handed he uses the left brain. The left-handed one uses the right brain. Which brain we are going to use is there- fore decided by which hand we make use of first when we are babies, The brain which is not being used for the intellect helps the other to minister to the body. It also serves as an emergency brain in case of disease or accident. Sometimes me- niory or speech is destroyed by acci- dent, and if the second brain is train- ed it may do the work of the other which has been destroyed, It is eas- ier to train the brain in this way if the patient is under thirty years of , age. Combined Age of Crew is 478. One of the best fishing crews at work off Scarborough, England, is that of the filussex,,seven men whose combined -ages is 478 years.

Englishwoman Describes Her Life as Sergeant. Miss Flora Sandes, an English- woman who served as a Serbian sol- dier, gives her experiences in a book, which has just been published in Lon. ,don, She wo?•ked as a voluntary nurse in Serbia for 'eighteen months before the Bulgarian invasion, and was with one regiment when it retreated into Albania before the overwhelming en- emy forces. She 'ultimately reaehed Durazzo and Corfu. Finding her ocs cupation gone, she enrolled as a pri- vate soldier, and within a short time was promoted to be corporal, and later to the grade of sergeant. While she was with the retreating Serbians they were fighting a rearguard ac- tion practically for six weeks. She ends the volume with the an- nouncement that slie is "eagerly looking forward to the time when we can get another whack at the enemy and march victoriously back to Ser- bia. With any luck, I hope some day. to be able to describe how we accomplished it, and the triumphant entry into Nish, which we were al- ways talking about." JUST THE THING FOR LITTLE ONES Baby's Own Tablets are the best medicine a mother can give her little ones. They regulate the bowels; sweeten the stomach; banish consti- pation and indigestion; relieve colds and simple fevers and make teething easy. Concerning them Mrs. Herbert Johnston, Maymont, Sask., writes:— "I have used Baby's Own Tablets for the past four years and find them just the thing for babies and young chil- dren."

Corn should be used in the finishing - up ration. Don't sacrifice an old sow that is a regular and prolific breeder. Such sows make the pig business certain. Give her a good pasture so she will keep active and healthy. The young sows should be handled kindly to make them gentle. ' It goes a long way in making a sow profitable to have her tractable and kind. A vicious sow is never profit- able. Keep the fall pigs growing. The more growth before severe winter weather,• the more profitable will be their development. Provide comfortable quarters for the fall pigs, where they can have plenty of exercise. Charcoal ashes, salt and sulphur should be kept in every feeding yard. If you want pigs in March mate your sows this month.

Fixing the Blame. Mrs, Jones had just punished her little boy, Toni. After crying for a few minutes he turned to his mother and asked: "Mamma, did your mamma whip you when you were little V' "Yes, when I was naughty," was the reply, "And did her mamma whip her when shewas little?" continued the little boy. "Yes, Thomas," replied the mother, "And was she whipped when she was little?" further questioned the boy. "Yes!" answered Mrs. Jones. A few seconds elapsed. Then Tom- my exclaimed: "Well, 'who started it, anyway?" Seeing Stars by Day. Although it is an old 'belief that the att4rs can be seen in daylight frond the bottom, of a deep mine, "'well, chimney or other shaft, the Rev. W. Ellison maintains that it has no foundation in fact. Writing in the Journal of the British Astronomical Association, Mr. Ellison says that; the invisibility of the stars in the day- time is caused by the glare of the atmosphere illuminated by the rays of the sun; and that there is no reas- on why a chimney or other shaft should sensibly diminish the glare. Even with a telescope the visibility of stars and planets in the daytime de- pends greatly upon their color. Red or yellow stars are much more easily seen than white ones, and the tele- scope must be very carefully focused; or even a bright star will be invisible in the bright sky. The planets Venus and Mercury, on the other hand, can be seen better in daylight than in the dark, but most of the planets are less visible in daylight than the stars, For Catarrhal Deafness and Head Noises Pere in America there is much suffer- ing from catarrh and head noises. Ameri- can people would do well to consider the method employed byhe English to com- bat this insidious disease. Everyone "knows how damp the English climate is and bow dampness affects those suffer- ing from catarrh. In England they treat catarrhal deafness and head noises as a oonstitutional disease and use an inter - sal remedy for it that is really very efficacious. Sufferers who could scarcely hear a watch tick tell how they had their hear- ing restored by this English treatment to such an extent that the tick of a watch was plainly audible seven and eight inches away from either ear. Therefore, if you know someone who is troubled with catarrh, catarrhal deaf- ness or head noises, cut out this formula and hand it to them and you will have been the means of saving some poor suf- ferer perhaps from total deafness.

Take this home, and add to it } pint of hot water and 4 ounces of granulated sugar ; stir until dissolved. Take a tablespoonful four times a day. Parmlnt is used in this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inflammation and swelling in the Eustachian Tubes. and thus to equalize the air pressure on the drum, but to correct any excess of secretions in the middle ear, and the re- sults it gives are usually remarkably quick and effective.
