It is Nos Possible to Photograph Forest Animals or Any Object in Motion, Photographing by flashlight is one of the more recent advancements in the field of picture -taking which has helped to secure for photography a permanent place among the arts. Paul J. Rainey, the explorer and hunter of wild animals, proved several years ago at the first exhibition of his wild animal flashlight pictures taken in Africa, that this class of photo- graphy offered a virgin field to the manufacturer of apparatus and to the man behind the camera. Soon after this there was an awakened interest in animal film shooting in preference to gun or trapshooting. At the present time photographic flashlight apparatus has been de- veloped to a point where guesswork is eliminated and where it is possible to photograph any object in motion. To do this it is necessary for the The High Cost of Iry gestibLe Food fails heavily upon the household where there is no intelligent direc- tion of the food supply. Expensive high proteid foods, such as beef and pork, impose a heavy burden upon the liver and kidneys. They are not as nitritious as cereals and fruits. Two Shredded Wheat Eascuits with milk supply all the nutriment needed for a half day's work at a cost of only four or five cents. Cut out meat and eggs, eat Shredded Wheat Biscuit with green vegetables and fruits, and see how Inuch better you feel. For breakfast with hot milk or crearn. Made in Canada.

Three sum- mers ago this slice of desecrated France was a patchwork of .green orchards and brown plowland, dotted with town of gray stone arid villages of red brick and peopled by a •race of ha eawhole happy peasants.

Over the whole face of the withered gray desert the enemy has made are strewn thousands and thousands of what look like black fagots —murder- ed fruit trees, that in a few weeks would become, if the enemy had not to be driven back, a mass• of white and pink blossoms. Fy'om this particular place the view of the crime of these sn trees is particularly irrlpres- siv trickeb a 'd d d A Fashio �}� ® al use maye� wi espies an wholesale than an there else in the devastated country. �.,.-_�, 'i But there is a further reasoii for choosing this little hill camera to catch the object in motion The jumper effect and barrel skirt as a place from which to contemplate this side of war. just at the instant when the flash combined make a costume distinctly On the top of it there is a neatly built powder is giving forth its brightest smart, while its development in oyster - white pongee and Chinese blue adds log hut of white -barked beech, fitted light.

On the narrow terrace tre kind of shadow embroidery which is graphed. With a flashlamp recently perfected by William Nesbit, the shutter is automatically snapped at exactly the moment when the light from the flash powder is most intense. His apparatus has been widely used to take flashlights of wild animals in their haunts and has given uniformly good results. Must Act Quickly. When flash powder is ignited it does not burn up or explode instantly, as rnight be supposed. It burns more and more brightly until it reaches its point of greatest brightness, from which point on it dies down until it goes out. This whole operation takes at the most one-fifth of a second. However, good pictures will be ob- tained only if the camera is snapped during this fifth of a second, when the flash powder burns the brightest. On the other hand, this point can never be .definitely determined before t Heins the picture. It changes for f6i'erpea.Vtilers eerriereaaa$Iatiei or the same 'powder, ,since the powder may become slightly damp and will not burn in the same way. It is evi- dent, then, that to snap the camera at precisely the right moment is not so easy as it might appear. The flash lamp devised by Mr. Nesbit consists of an aluminum con- tainer to hold the flash powder, a cover for this container, a mechanism to fire the powder, and an attach- ment which will automatically snap the shutter of the camera at the moment when the flash powder is burning brightest. The unit is water- proof and so compact that it can be readily attached to a tree or other convenient support. Tie Wire to Bait. The flash powder is placed in a box lnade waterproof by a coat of paraffin and is then placed in the space pro- vided for it in the flashlamp. The powder is fired either by a blank cartridge or by an electric spark fur- niched by a dry battery. A firing -pin, controlled by a spring and a trigger, similar to those used in a rifle or re- volver sets off the cartridge. When taking a flashlight of an animal, a wire is attached to the trigger and then tied to bait of some sort. The animal is attracted by the bait, and if it touches it, the wire is pulled, which, in turn, pulls the trigger, releases the firing -pin and ignites the powder by exploding the blank cartridge. When the powder is to be ignited electrically, a wire is stretched from a switch to the bait. Once the bait is touched a circuit is closed and an electric spark sets off the powder. Censor's Generosity. In his book "The Balkan War," Mr. Philip Gibbs tells the following story. The official regulations for the cor- respondents sent out there were ap- pallingly severe. Mr. Gibbs found that he was forbidden to describe the disposition of the troops, to give the names of generals, the names and nti nbers of the wounded, the success or failure of Bulgarian troops, the state of the solders' health, and so on. When the censor had told all this Mr. Gibbs politely asked: "Will you tell me, sir, if there is anything about vehicle we shall be allowed to write ?" The censor thought deeply for a moment and then answered quite gravely: "There is much that is inter- esting in Bulgarian. literature." "Perhaps," Mr. Gibbs suggested sarcastically. "I may also be permit- ted to describe the song of the birds?" "13y all means," was the censor's cordial reply. fixed wooden benches and tables of the kind that belong to a German beer garden. This eligible country resid- ence was constructed as a sort of week -end shooting -box for Prince Eitel Friedrich, to which he and his boon companions could retire when exhaust- ed from the strain of war. There was, of course, no reason why they should not build a hut wherever they chose, but there is the cynical fact that it alone of the whole visible landscape remains intact. • Everything else of the works of God and man is destroy- ed.

He elaims they cured him of two of the most painful and dangerous forms of kidney trouble, bladder trouble and gravel. "Yes, I was troubled with gravel and bladder trouble," Mr. Woods said when asked about his mire. "But since I took' four boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills my troubles are gone. I also bad heart flutterings and shortness of breath, There were flashes of lights and specks before my eyes and I was very nervous.
