Political ;events are moving so rap- idly in the Central Empires that an article on the fate of Austria-Ilun- gary in The World's Work is particu- larly topical. Will Austria-Hungary leave Ger- many before the end of the fight? To this the answer seems plain: It would be certain political and econo- mis suicide for her to do so, Hence she cannot, unless her people feel the depression •of hunger so desperately that they become reckless of their fu- ture. Will Austria be subservient to Ger- many after the war? And to what extent is she so now? Briefly, Austria-Hungary cannot help herself in the matter. Her de- pendence is not voluntary. So far as sentiment is concerned, indeed, there is very little. love lost between the two countries. For Prussia and the Prus- sians a distilict dislike is even felt. The wounds of 1866 are still smart- ing. Her fall from power, the loss of her supremacy •in the Germany of that time, are keenly realized. Prus- sia is regarded as an upstart with the unamiable qualities of an upstart. The departed glory of the Austria of old is deeply regretted. The Slays of Austria .bear their powerful western neighbor undisguised hatred, But needs must. Austria -is firmly convit ced that without Germany's strong arm to support her she is doomed as a political entity. We all grasp the hand that is held out to us to save us from drowning, no matter whose it be. Austria's Plight. Consider the facts. Look at Aus- tria -Hungary's present plight. Aus- tria-Hungary is economically undevel- oped, or at least not sufficiently de- veloped. Her turbulent history, plus another more recent element, i.e., the race strife within her borders, ac- counts for that. Of that one becomes what? "One Meatless Meal a Day" is a good food slogan for war time, or any time—better make it two meatless meals a day—it would, mean health and strength for the nation, But be sure and get the right substitute for meat in a digestible form. - Shredded Wheat Biscuit is the ideal substitute for meat. It is 100 per cent. whole wheat prepared in a digestible form. Two or three of these little loaves of baked whole wheat . make a nourishing, satisfying meal at a cost of only a few cents. Delicious with milk or cream or fruits of any kind. Made in Canada. BEWARE THE POISON BOTTLE. New Invention Will Prevent Making a Fatal Mistake. Every now and then somebody helps himself to a dose of poison out of what he imagines to be a medicine bottle. Nearly always, of course, it is in the dark. Next on the job (un- less the doctor happens, by good luck, to arrive in time) is the undertaker. Why indulge in such foolishness? A New Jersey woman, Mary Beers, has invented a bottle stopper that is more efficient, for precautionary purposes, than all the poison labels ever thought of. It is simple enough—a cork, to fit the bottle, with a metal arrangement in the shape of a cross that is stuck through it and projects above it. It is sharp -pointed at the top and the two arms are sharp -pointed. You wake up in the night with a pain and grope in the medicine closet for the jamaica-ginger bottle. Ah! yes, that it is; you recognize it by the shape. You go to pull the cork and your fingers are severely pricked. Yes, it is painful. But by that token you know that the bottle you have got hold of is a bottle of poison. Bet- ter a pricked finger than a coffin—eh, aware as soon as one crosses her fron- tiers. How far behind she is in intellectu- al development is best seen, for in- stance, by studying her Iatest statis- tics.. From them it is seen that there are whole large provinces where illi- teracy predominates. Hungary especially, though a coun- try abounding in natural resources, urgently requires capital. Formerly Paris was the money market to which Hungary applied by preference. But owing in part to the heavy drain on French liquid resources made by Rus- sia, as well as to the fact that Hun- gary formed part of the Dreibund, that market was closed to her. That became very evident during the five years preceding the war, when Hungary vainly attempted to place various loans for internal improve - Cheap Fish. In 1915 and 1916, Manitoba lakes produced 48,000,000 pounds of fish, 75 per cent. of which was exported to the United States. For 9,00,000 pounds of whitefish„ the fishermen re- ceived on.the average 5 cents a pound. In some Canadian cities Manitoba whitefish sells at 15 cents a pound or more. The Food Controller for Can- ada is arranging to reduce the wide margin between fishermen and con- sumers. POSITIVE PROOF, AMAZING RESULTS $5,000 Guarantee If We Fail.

Mr. Manuel Varquez, of 142 Hastings Street, Toronto, was going to have an operation for Kidney Stones two .weeks ago. He tried Ham -Lax and Ham -Ray the day before the operation was to be performed and received such 'benefits that he purchased a Ham -Ray Machine and one uottle Ham -Lax, with the results that to -day he is cured. Mr. Thomas Jones, of 113 Sheridan Ave., Toronto, suffered with Rheuma- tism in his heart and other parts of his body for 9 years.

The whole banking system of Aus- tria, her financial status, rests and leans on Germany. The connection is very intimate and strong. Most of the Austrian and Hungarian indus- trial papers, shares, and values are quoted and dealt in outside of -Vienna —only.-in Berlin. Tends A SHEPHERD BIRD. Flocks and Guards the Home of its Owner. The republic of Venezuela boasts of a remarkable bird lLshich can be train- ed to tend flocks. Not only does the yak -a -milk, as it is called, take the place of the sheep -dog, but it is fre- quently used "to guard the home of its owner. When the Indians capture a yak -a- milk they find little difficulty in train- ing it to domestic use. It is attach- ed to the farmyard, and performs the same duties as a faithful watchdog. A yak -a -milk soon learns to know and obey the voice of its master. Its usual gait is slow and sedate, but sometimes it will execute most es - centric movements, waltzing and pirouetting in a very absurl fashion. These strange birds defend their charges from attacksof wild and savage animals. Irish For Central Canada. Fish is to become more plentiful in the Canadian market. Eon, W. J. .Hanna,, Food Controller, has inaugu- - rated a special refrigerator express car service, direct from the Nova Scotia coast to Toronto. This is the first step in a plan to put on a fish car express service from both Pacific and Atlantic pointsto supply Central Canada with sea food cheaply. Unless there is a tremenaoue sump in condition between now and har- vest the supply of beans will be, pro- portionately, greater than the supply of potatoes. The bean crop of the United States was estimated on July 1 at 22,000,000 bushels, against S,846,- 000 a year ago.

The Montenegrin peasant is a singularly superstitious mortal who lives ia awe of the "Evil Eye," which is considered accountable for disease and death. It is the belief of the inhabitants of the Black Mountain that for each malady God has given a remedy. He believes that for each pain there is a healing herb, and that one only dies when the wrath of the "Evil Eye" has been incurred. Ile also believes in witches and beautiful young maidens who come forth from the dew and are nourished in a mys- terious mountain. They meet in the branches of trees, and are most dang- erous at supper time. His daily life is full of supersti- tion. He is superstitious about the manner in which he rises in the morn- ing, about what first,meets his sight, how he dresses'and washes and whom he meets of what food he eats, and the time and manner of serving throughout the entire day. Attention is paid to whether the cocks crow in time, whether dogs bark much, if frogs croak, or the wind blows. Again, special notice is taken of the exact time at which rain falls, the duration of thunder, how stars shine, if the moon has a halo, if it shines through a cloud, and many such observations. AN AGE OF WEAK NERVES. "No heart for anything" is the cry of thousands of men and women who might be made well by the new, red blood Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make. Misery day and night is the lot of hosts of men and women who are to- day the victims of weak nerves. Their pale, drawn faces and dejected atti- tude tell a sad tale, for nervous weak- ness means being tortured by morbid thoughts and unaccountable fits of de- pression. These sufferers are painful- ly sensitive and easily agitated by. some chance remark. Sleeplessness robs them of energy and strength; their eyes are sunken, their limbs tremble, appetite is poor and memory often fails. This nervous exhaustion„ is one of the most serious evils' affect- ing men and women of to -day. The only way to bring back sound, vigor- ous health is to feed the starved nerves which are clamoring for new, rich, red blood, This new, good blood, can be had through the use, of Dr, Wil- liams' Pink Pills, which fact accounts for the thousands of cures of nervou. diseases brought about by this power- ful blood builder and nerve restorer. Through the fair use of this medicine thousands of despondent people have been made bright, active and strong: Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all dealers in medicine, or may be had by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. Women Can Eelp in Harvest. Women should help harvest the bush and small tree fruit crops this year. A mobilization of available women for this work would be of great assist- ance. The women of°Europe are now working regularly in the fields. They have planted and harvested crops ever since the war started. Are the women of Canada willing to do as much? If we wait until the fields are yellow we will be too late. The various women's organizations could do much if they would organize immediately. Minard's Liniment Cures Dandruff.

Our food supplies must be conserved, but they should not be hoarded. Of what use. is a mine unopened, a forest untouch- ed or land untilled? By the conserva- tion of our food supplies, we ' mean that they should be used in the wisest possible way and shared equally. We should eliminate superfluities and lux- uries and eat the things that are sub- stantial, plain and nourishing. There are many foods produced in Canada, such as corn, peas, beans, oats and barley, which are not as much as they could and should be. Unless provision is made to care for and properly use the garden vegetables, much of this material will be wasted.. Perishable things should be canned wherever pos- sible. Rhubarb, tomatoes and other vegetables should be put away for' winter use, MILITARY CROSS Heno Capt, William Stewart MacTier, who was reported recently to have been awarded the Military Cross for gal- lantry in the Sizing line, is a son of Mr. A. D, MacTier, general manager of eastern lines of the Canadian Pacific Raiivay. Capt. MacTier went to the front with the first Canadian Contin- gent and has been twice wounded, the first time at Ypres, and lately at Vimy Ridge, At the outbreak of the war, Capt. MacTier was on the ocean re- turning from Europe, and immediately on landing joined the Thirteenth Bat- talion, under Lieut. -Col. (now Brfga- dier-Getesral) Loomis, D.S.O. He went to the front with that unit and fought. with it when It covered itself with glory at Ypres and Festubert. He was then wounded by shrapnel and re- turned to Montreal to convalesce. On returning to the front he was attached to Brigadier -General Loomis' staff, he having taken aver the command of a brigade in the. meantime. After serving in this capacity for a short time one oR.his feet gave out and an operation was necessary. On his re- turn to the front on this occasion he was 'transferred to a Montreal High- land 'Battalion and promoted to his captaincy. TO MY SOLDIER.

BABY'S GREAT DANGER DURING HOT WEATHER More little ones die during the sum- mer than at any other time or the year. Diarrhoea, dysentery, cholera infantum and stomach disorders come without warning and when a medicine is not at hand to give promptly the short delay too'frecquently means that the child has passed beyond aid. Baby's Own Tablets should always be kept in the home where there are young children, An occasional dose of the Tablets will prevent stomach and bowel troubles, or if the trouble comes suddenly the prompt use of the Tab- lets will cure the baby. Mrs. Chas. Anderson, Minda, Alta., says: "Baby's Own Tablets are the best medicine for little ones who are suffering from a weak stomach. They cured my baby when suffering from stomach com- plaint and have made her a fine healthy child." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

This will cost very little but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from ones feet. A few drops of this new ether com- pound applied directly upon a tender, aching corn relieves the soreness in- stantly, and soon the entire corn or callus, root and all, dries up and can be lifted off with the fingers. This new way to rid one's feet of corns was introduced by a Cincinnati man, who says that freezone dries in a moment, and simply shrivels up the corn or callus without irritating the surrounding skin. Don't let father die of infection or lockjaw frons whittling at his corns, but clip this out and make him try it. If your druggist hasn't any freezone tell him to order a small bottle from his wholesale drug house for you. Something New in Frightfulness.
