Hospital egg collections at Drif- field, Yorks, reached 140,693. Sir William Vincent, twice Mayor of Leicester, has just died there in his 74th year. Four cases of spotted fever, with two deaths, were reported at Bir- mingham last week. Downhills School War Savings As- sociation, Tottenham, has in eight weeks raised $5,033.48. Houses are so scarce at Hudders- field that people are offering rewards to anyone who can secure one for their accommodation. A sum of $2,500 has been allocated to the Great Northern Hospital, Hol- loway Road, from the Alexandra Day fund. The death has occurred of Sir John William Oitt Muir -Mackenzie, K.C. S.T., at his residence in London, in his 62nd year. Recent inquiries at eight training ships and industrial schools failed to find a vacancy for a boy brought be- fore Acton Bench. During the last four months over 130,000 soldiers and sailors have been fed at the free buffet at Liver- pool street station. There are now 275 women con- ductors and 67 women cleaners em- ployed : on Newcastle Corporation tramways undertaking. The receipts of the band per- formances on the front at Eastbourne during the past season, have increas- ed by over $5,000. An absentee from the A.S.C., elud- ing the escort sent to arrest him at Souming, attempted to swim the Thames, and was drowned. On "pound day" at Surbiton Cottage Hospital, 2,660 poounds of goods were received, of which the children at the local •schools sent 1,363 pounds. The modest kipper, perhaps the favorite breakfast dish of the poor Londoner, has gone up in price so much that it is now a luxury. WIDOW OF EXPLORER. "Meat Prices• Will Not Come Down" is the cheerful news from the Department of Agriculture, Meat prices will not worry the man or woman who knows that a Shredded Wheat Biscuit will supply more real body-building nutriment than beefsteak or eggs and at much less cost, Shredded Wheat remains the same price, the same high quality, supplying all the nutriment a man needs for a half -day's work. Two shredded wheat biscuits with peaches and crearn or other fruits make a complete, nourishing meal at a cost of not over five cents. Made in Canada A HORRIBLE BUTCHERY. Carpathians a Vast Cemetery for Hun- garians. The Hungarian committee entrust- ed with the care of the graves of fallen soldiers have issued a report in which it is stated that their re- searches in the northern Carpathians have resulted in the discovery alto- gether of 200,000 graves of Austro- Hungarian and German soldiers, says the Budapest correspondent. of the Glasgow Herald. Of these over 35,- 000 were common graves, where more than one body is interred. The crosses over the graves were re -marked, and the names—where these were known —rewritten. The figures given indi- cate that during the winter of 1914-15 over 25,000 men were killed in the bat- tlefields of that region—a fact never before revealed. The publication of the report in question therefore has caused the greatest depression, for it is well known that the majority of the units who were engaged there against the Russians,were composed of Hun- garians, onla small fraction of the forces being German and Austrian. The "Nepszava," commenting on the report, shrewdly points out that at time the Russians were the attacking party. "Now we are the attackers, and it is hardly necessary to say more," says the writer. "What if the Russians in the winter of 1914-15 had had the artillery and munitions that they have now and will have during the winter of 1916-17? How would that have affected the number of casualties in a defensive campaign? The difference between the defensive campaign of 1914-15 in the Carpathi- ans and the offensive campaign of this autumn affords much food for reflec- tion." "From Orsova to the Uzsok Pass the Carpathians are a vast cemetery," says the report, and 7,000 men are be- ing employed in identifying the graves and restoring them. "The work has to be completed before the snow cov- ers everything over and the floods wash away all traces of the resting - places of those who have fallen." The committee, therefore, have but a very short time at their disposal. THE "ANNOTATED GUIDE." An Interesting Volume Issued by the C.P.R.. No publication issued by the Can- adian Pacific Railway is better known all over the world than the "An- notated Guide," describing every sta- tion along the line. Issued originally at the suggestion of Sir William Van Horne, it has passed through many editions and is now a fair-sized book owing to the great increase in the ex- tent of the railway system. It is in- teresting to look over the early issues to see how Canada has progressed, In 1888, for instance, Winnipeg had_ a population of only 25,000, Fort Wil- liam 1,400, Regina 800, Calgary 2,- 400, Lake Louise had not been discov- ered, and Vancouver was proud of its 5,200. Indian Head was famous for the Bell Farm, of which the "Annot- ated Guide" remarks: "The furrows on this farm are usually ploughed four miles long, and to plough one furrow outward and another returning is a half day's work for a man and team. The work is done with an almost mili- tary organization, ploughing by bri- gades and reaping by divisions." To- ronto is described as "distinctly West- ern in its activity and energy." Lady Scott Is Working In a Munition Factory..,.. Lady Scott, widow of Captain Scott, the British naval officer who lost his life while returning from the south pole, is now one of the thousands of B2itish women who are working in the munitions factories of England to keep the armies at the front supplied with ammunition and other war ne- cessities: The story, issued by the Official Press Bureau in London, con. tains the following: "I confess the change to such un- familiar conditions made an adven- ture of which, contrary to my expect- ations, the zest did not wane. Partly, I suppose, because I made friends; they came and stayed with me, I stay- ed with them; they were new to nie as I to them; but we liked each other. There was a jolliness about it all — arriving at daylight into a warm room among friendly faces and in the even- ing hurrying each other up to get 1 ready so that friends could walk home in company. "In short, there was real comrade- ship, and the personal lives of my friends became of great importance to me. Beyond all this there was ab- solute freedom from that unrest which is a characteristic disease of this time. The munitions worker, like the man in the ranks, is under orders, do- ing her piece of assigned work. There is no time to be anxious, to fret for news, to feel the days drag heavily. One gets home, eats, sleeps like a tired animal, and awakes fresh, ready to go on again. Looking back on it, I would not for anything be without the experience, and I honestly believe that no one who volunteers will regret the choke. "Earning money, too, will be for many an adventure and not an un- pleasant one. Men have told me that they never valued anything more than their shillings drawn at the pay table. Women have the advantage of the soldiers, because what the munition worker earns is very appreciable. You go for six weeks to one of the schools established by the Ministry of Munitions and then you can go into a factory and start at $5 a week --earn ed by leaking what your country ur- gently requires, and you feel good about it. "But, above all, you will escape the moments which come to any self-re- specting girl or woman when she asks herself whether it is right or fair or decent that she should be having a good time while herl menfolk are fac- ing and suffering what we hear of --- and much, too, That we do not. It is no small moral comfort in these days to feel yourself clear of the disgrace Of leisure."

THANKFUL MOTHERS DRINK HOT WATER FOR INDIGESTION A Physician's Advice "It • dyspeptics, sufferers from gas, Wind, or flatulence, stomach acidity or sourness, gastric catarrh, heartburn, etc., would tape a teaspoonful of pure bieura- ted magnesia in half a glassOf hot water , immediately after eating, they would soon forget they were ever afflicted with atonitaoh trouble, and doctors would have to look elsewhere for patients." In ex- planation of these words a well known NeW Xor1t physician stated that most forms of stomach trouble ape due to stomach acidity and fermentation of the food contents of the stomach combined with an insufficient blood supply to the stomach. Hot water increases the blood supply and bisurated magnesia instantly neutralizes the excessive stomach acid and stops food fermentation, the com- bination of the two, therefore, being marvelously successful and decidedly preferable to the use of artificial diges- tents, stimulants or medicines for in- digestion. 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. Inadequate.

The German papers are not all sound and fury, albeit those are pre- dominating characteristics of most of them nowadays, says the London Ex- press. Hidden away in obscure cor- ners one frequently comes across quite illuminating scraps of informa- tion as to life under war conditions in the Central Empires, and since these little paragraphs are not written to influence opinion either in Germany or abroad, they usually have the merit of being truthful. The Rheinish-Westfalische-Zeitung, for example, has this little item about horseflesh: At Dusseldorf a pound of horseflesh, which in peace times cost 6d. without bones, now fetches 3s. 2d. with the bones weighed in. Horse fat com- mands the same price. This is so not- withstanding the efforts of the mili- tary authorities to lower the price of the meat by selling disabled army horses to the local butchers as cheap- ly as £12 a head. The result is that Horseflesh has be come even dearer than -beef or cork.
