The love of a man for a maid and the love of a woman for a man are two totally different emotions. War has proved this tonus, says London An- swers. Every time a maimed warrior leads his bride to the altar he is de- monstrating the strength of woman's love. Cupid can use a crutch to help storm the citadel of a woman's heart, and the fact that hundreds of women are marrying the men they love, although these men are "broken in the wars," goes to prove that woman's love does not hinge on mere physical attraction. ' When I Conte Back." Hard to Drop Meat? All depends on what you eat as a substitute. It is a good time to study "food value." You may be eating the wrong foods, the foods that cost most and give the least nutriment. Shredded Wheat Biscuit contains more real, body-building nutriment, pound for pound, than meat, eggs or potatoes and costs much less. Two of these Biscuits with milk and a little fruit make a nourishing meal at a cost of a few cents. Make Shredded Wheat your "meat." A satis- fying breakfast on which to start the day's work. It is ready -cooked and ready -to - eat. Made in Canada. When a woman loves a man she is willing to marry him whether he has left parts of himself on the battlefield or whether he is physically perfect. That is where men and women differ. Man looks for perfection when he goes a -wooing, and there is hardly a man living who would go to a Crip- ples' Home in search of a wife. The deformed woman usually reconciles herself to spinsterdom, and Cupid ig- nores her when he fares forth with a quiver full of golden -tipped arrows. Yet he will work in the cause of the maimed man, and especially of the heroes of the moment. "When I come back!" whispers the man, and the girl understands. If he comes back a wreck of his former self she does not hang back. She is ready to compensate, by., her love, for the suffering he has undergone. The empty sleeve does not frighten her. "It wasn't his limbs only that I lov- ed!" she'll tell you. And, could you look down into the deeps of her heart, you would find that the demands of war had increased her love. Some people will tell you that wo- men marry cripples out of pity, but pity is often the key that unlocks a woman's heart; and what do keys mat- ter when doors are open? Let us have a little more pity, for it is a beautiful. than ,.• . ' ix h siaeted as a Juggernaut' to many of r old laws and conventions. Tenyears ago we would have .con- demned the maid who proposed, yet we have her to -day, and the world says "God bless her!" Take the case of the maimed war- rior who is sensitive. He imagines that honor forbids him to ask any wo- man to tie herself to a cripple. The woman knows, because her in- tuition is sharper than man's, where the book of love is in question. And if she loves the bashful, sensitive hero, she proves herself when she ignores false modesty and old conventional laws that demanded that women should be the quarry rather than the hunter. Under ordinary conditions we still prefer that man should propose, but war has created extraordinary condi- tions, which permit women to exercise their common sense when it seems ne- cessary. A woman's love is so mixed up with the maternal instinct. The very best women want to mother their men. The crippled man arouses this mother love, which makes for lasting happiness. The Two Women. Most women who love suffer through man's independence. They know them- selves to be of his life but "a thing apart," and are always getting hurt because they count for so very little. When a woman marries a cripple she knows she is going to count in his life, and that knowledge means a, lot. War is giving us many cripples; that is the greatest tragedy of the times. But a deformity from accident bears no comparison with an inherited one. There is no taint of heredity to worry about. It is wonderful to some people that women can marry our blinded heroes, but it is not wonderful to women. If love is blind, why should not love eeme through blindness? The woman whose soul is more lovely than her face can find the kingdom of love more easily with a blinded mate than with one who can see. There are two/women who count in the life of every man—the mother who bears him and the woman who helps him to find his better self. We have now 2500 factories, em- ploying one and a half million men and a quarter of a million women. We are not only satisfying the require- ments of our own army; but we are also supplying our Allies, particular- ly Russia. One cannot have an idea of the tremendous work going on in Britain just now unless one sees it.— me British Premier. RAILWAY FIRE PROTECTION. Satisfactory Results Have Been Secured Under Competent Direction The railway fire protection work, in the establisment and administration of which the Commission of Conser- vation has co-operated with the Dom- inion Railway Commission, has pro- duced remarkably satisfactory re- sults. Under the provisions of the Railway Act, and the regulations of the Board, the railways subject to its jurisdiction have assumed full re- sponsibility for the extinguishing of fires presuriiably due to railway causes. Admirable co-operation has existed between the railway organ- izations and the several Dominion and provincial fire -protective agencies, with results thoroughly satisfactory to all concerned. Railway fires have been reduced to a position of very minor importance, and the railways have also rendered signal service in the extinguishing of many fires for the origin of which .they were in no wise responsible. During 1916, 558 fires were report- ed as originating in forest sections, within 330 feet of lines subject to the Railway Commission's jurisdiction, be- ing 128 fires less than in 1915. Of these, 69 per cent. were definitely at- tributed to railway `cruses, 18- per cent to known causes other than rail ivays, and 13 per cent. to unknown causes. Of the 388 fires chargeable to railway causes, 101 fires or 26 per cent. were incipient fires which did no damage. 287 fires or 74 per cent. are larger fires which burned over 11,290 acres valued at $35,666. The total damage from all fires is estimated at $89,482. Of this theatailways are charged with 90 per cent., known causes other than railway fires 8 per cent., and unknown fires 2 per cent. Thus, on all lines subject to the juris- diction of the Board throughout Can- ada, the forest fires definitely attribut- able to railway agencies did dam- age amounting to only $35,566—a re- markably good showing, considering the unfavorable weather conditions. Of all fires reported, the causes were as follows: Locomotives, 61 per cent.; railway employees, 8 per cent.; campers and travelers, 7 per cent.; settlers, 8 per cent.; other known causes, 3 per cent,; unknown cause, 13 per cent. The use of tank ears for fire -fight- ing purposes is now in effect on the Canadian Pacific, Grand Trunk, Temis- kaming and Northern Ontario, and Canadian Government railways. Such equipment has proved its effectiveness and wider use is to be hoped for. THE SUPREME SACRIFICE London Boy Whose Unselfish Act Led to His Death. ,. How a soldier sacrificed his leave far another man `and subsequently his life—was related by the Bishop of Chelmsford recently. The bishop's story concerned a Beth, nal Green lad, brought up in an indif- ferent home, who after being fourteen or fifteen months at the front, wrote to his parents, who were very fond of him, saying that he was expecting leave. About the time he should have ar- rived home another letter came from the lad, saying:—"Mother, I found a man just close by me who was sad. I said to him, 'What's the matter, Bill?' He said he had just heard that his lit- tle girl was ill, and he could not get leave to go home and see her. "Mother, I know it will be a great' BABY'S OWN TABLETS OF GREAT VALUE Mrs, J.

VITUS DANCE Even the Most Severe Cases Can be Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Is your child fidgety, restless or ir- ritable ? -Are the hands shaky or the arms jerky ? Does the face twitch ? Do the legs tremble or drag ? These are signs of St. Vitus Dance, a nervous disease which is confined chiefly to young children, but which often affects highly -strung women, and sometimes men. St. Vitus Dance is caused by disordered nerves, due to poor blood, and is •always cured by the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills, which fill the veins with new, rich, red blood, stengthen- ing the nerves, and thus drawing out the disease. Here is proof:—Mrs. John A. Cumming, Lower Caledonia, N.S., says:—"When my daughter. Myrtle was about nine years of age she became afflicted with St. Vitus Dance. The :trouble- ultimately be came so bad tibat she could not hold anything in her hands, and had to be fed like a child. She could not even walk across the floor without help. She was treated for some time by a physician, but did not show any Im provement. One day a neighbor said she had read of a case of St. Vitus Dance cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and -we decided to give this medicine a trial. By the time the third box was used there was some improvement in her condition, and we continued giving her the pills for about a month longer when she was entirely cured, and has not since had the least return of the trouble. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can be ob- tained from any dealer in medicine or by mail at 60 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. CHEATING THE U-BOATS. New Idea Which May Overcome the Submarine Menace. America, according to all accounts, is showing the Allies the true way out of the U-boat peril. It is not a meth- od which gives sudden and imme- diate relief, but it is likely to be of vast utility if the war lasts twelve months longer and more. It is one of those far-sighted plans which take Time by the forelock—plans which have served the Hun in good stead in the past, and will serve well in the future. It is an application of the old say- ing about not having all your eggs in one basket. This is the age of huge ships, and in peace times big ships are cheaper in every way than small ones. But a well -aimed torpedo sinks a fif- teen-thoudld-tonner as easily as it sinks a trawler, and a tremendous cargo is got rid of at one blow. Now the idea is to have fifteen ships of one thousand tons, instead of one of fifteen thousand, Even a IT -boat can't be in fifteen places at one and the same time, and if five of these boats are sunk, ten get through with their invaluable loads of corn and leather and timber and sugar. These small boats, being standard- ized and built on speedy lines, will go far to counter the menace in the near future, for just as Britons proved that munition -making can be speeded up beyond a point even unimaginable be- fore the war, so can ship -building, if the problem is only tackled with that determination which is a British char- acteristic. There are fifteen military camps in Canada, comprising 330,000 acres: WEAPONS OF WARFARE. War Materia Furnished By The Fishes of the Sea. Even the fishes of the sea are called on to supply war material. In Polynesia spears are pointed and elaborately edged with the teeth of sharks. Such a weapon makes a frightful wound, tearing the flesh to tatters. Another instrument of frightfulness in the South Sea archipelagoes is a dagger similarly equipped with shark's teeth. Warriors of the Marshall Islands, sometimes wear battle helmets made of the skin of the porcupine fish, which is very thick and spiky. It is cured in such fashion as to preserve the shape of the fish, and, while affording protection against a blow from a club, lends an extra touch of ferocity to the fighting man's aspect. father, the first Lard Gough, But, in addition to this, his own father Won the V.C. in the Indian Mutiny, and was with the gallant Roberts in Afghanistan. No wonder, then, that fighting is in his blood, and that he shares with Allenby the repu- tation of being the most dashing caval- ry • leader in the British Army ! He played a great part in the Battle of the Somme, and he has come again in- to the limelight of war in the great Battle of Arras. There is no greater mistake than to suppose that the Huns have all the generals.

But even the terrible Hindenburg may prove—in Bismarck's famous phrase—to be "a lath painted to look like iron," and the much -advertised "Hindenburg Line" no more real than the Equator.

The soldier stopped to hear what the boy would say. At last it came:— "Please, sir, have you got any iron crosses ?"

She Had Been III Two Years and Could !, Find No Cure. That's Why Her Husband Is Enthusiastic Over Dodd's Kidney Pills. Fort Smith, Alberta, May 21st (Special) --Among all the thousands of Canadians who praise Dodd's Kidney Pills for the good they have done there is no more fervent admirer of the great kidney remedy than Isidore Mer- credi, of this place. "Yes, it always gives me pleasure to say a good want for Dodd's Kidney Pills.," Mr. Mercredi says. "My wife was sick for two years. We could not find anything to restore her to health. Then we .found a pamphlet telling of several persons who had been cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills. "My wife used just two boxes of them and she is perfectly well, to the great surprise of all our neighbors. They can tell you the same thing. I cannot recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills enough." Dodd's Kidney Pills are the greatest of all remedies for weak, suffering women. They cure the kidneys. The kidneys are the root of nine -tenths of women's ills.

Weeds. With the call for more production there may be a tendency to increase the acreage of high producing crops such as the root and hoe crops on the farm. In prepaying for these crops this year it will be well to thoroughly bear in mind that no amount of culti- vation after the crop is in can make up for a lack of cultivation before the crop is planted. If the ground is properly prepared for the seeding and planting, the battle is largely won. By thoroughly tillage of the soil be- fore planting, thousands of tiny weeds will be killed which would otherwise cause trouble in the growing crop. By preventing the weeds from grow- ing the crops are given a better op- portunity to develop and produee thm food which is required by Canadians in Canada and the Allies in Europe, The condition of the war sufferers is pitiful, but it will be a still more piti- ful figure for history to record if those who can fail to give that others might live. !Seep ldinard's Liniment in the henna.
