You should never neglect a cold, hew- eveir slight. If you do not treat it in time it will, in all 'possibility, develop into *bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma, or some other serious throat or hmg trouble. On the filet sign of a cold or cough it is advisable to cure it at once, and not let it run on for an indefinite period. For this purpose there is nothing to equal Dr. Wood's Norway Paine Syrup, a . remedy that has been universally. usedby thousands for ov4r twenty-five years. You do not experiment when you buy it. Mrs. W. G. Pagnet, Smith's Falls, Ont., writes: -"I was troubled with la - grippe. 'caught cold, and neglected it, and was sick for several mouths.

EAFORTII, Friday, ay 31, 1918. 'WHAT PEACE WITH UKRAINE WILL GIVE TO THE GERMANS TO HELP WIN E WAR IN ,the eke s of the sep- arate pewee concluded pe- _ between the central °Z `ow . ere and : the new kra ne People's Repubiie areae this man - try the first thought that occurred to Canadians was, " hat can our enemies get out of Ukraine? So little definite can said of Rus- sia, 'since she fell into he chaos that followed the revoiutioof last Huth that anything like awn- authoritative 'answer to this quested is impossible. Many believe that Rus 'a's condition is so awful that not even German efficiency can succeed in getting the products of the "Ukraine into the Cen, tral Empires, even if reserve stocks of . what the Teutons eed are .now int existences or caa supplied in time to naoet then, desp t -e shortages of our foes. Others A e not eo opts mistie; they see in the ate peace treaty a source : of Inv luable econo- mic aid to the hard -pr sed Teutons. Which is right the ne few months will tell. All that can done now is to show that, in times of peace, the Ukraine fully justifie its claim. of being the granary of Eastern Europe, and is also in other ways the richest part of Russia,, If the Government Of the Ukrain- ian state can assert it control over all the territory to hien it lays claim, the new rep•ubii will embrace 850,000 square kiloin, tern, cont in abo1ut 28,000,000 i abitants, and include the great ci es of Kieff, Odessa, Kharkov, Kherson, Ekater- inoslav, and others. Of thesethe most important commercially is the great 'port of Odessa on the Black Sea, whence, before the war, 70 per Wit. of all Russia's et ports went to foreign, lands. Ukraine's principal wealth lies in its enormous acreage f fertile farm lairds. Though it comprises only one- sixth of European Russia it has 32 per cent. of all the farm land. • Of the total area of the Via -eine 53 per cent. is farmed. Of all the other European countries only >G'ranee, with 56 per cent., urpasses this record. Despite primitive _ methods of cul- tivation the Ukraine produces an- nually in wheat, ry , and barley alone, 33,000,000,000 ounds, which is equivalent to one -t rd of the out- put of all Russia. The sugar beet production of the Ukraine is five - sixths' that of all Russia. In peace times the Ukraine had 30,000,000 ead of cattle, or one- third of the Russian. total. In sheep, goats, ',pigs, and poul;,ry the region possessed on half the entire Russian supply. The `Ukra ne is also rich in iron, the mines o which lie principally in the region f Kherson, From these mines in 1905 60 per cent. of the -entire Russoutp t was taken. One-sixth of the wor 's whole sup- - ply of man nese and all the mer- cury produc d in : Russia also come from the. U raine. The coal deposits On the Donetz have produ d as leech as .76 per cent. of all a coal ined in •Euro - pea n and As atic Rus ia, and 99 per cent. of Rus 'a's anthr cite coal came from the Uk aine hefoe the war. The production of coal in, }the Donetz re- gion in one pre-war �yyear was over 28,000,000,000 pounds. Other forms of mineral wealth are petroleum, ozo- cerite, peat, phosphorite, kaolin, etc. The region is also III rich in game. As for fish, the fisheri s of the Black Sea and the Sea of Az v have yielded over 50,000,000 pours s lin a normal year. Fresh water fish ng is also pro- fitable. A big crop of tobacc has also been produced in the Ukrai e; and it pos- sesses the finest orchards and vine- yards in Russia. Another source of potential wealth is .the great area of exploitable forest lands, totalling 110,0000 square kilometers. • GEOGRAPHY A e• WAR.

Whe the .United States Govern- ment commandeered ships, approach- ing completion in private, yards it took 300,000 tons of vessels which had been ordered by companies in Norway. The owners have .sent repre- sentatives to Washington. While they do not, of course, regard the ° taking of the ships with ,..satisfaction, their appeal to the shipping board relates tb pay for them. It appears that the full price of the vessels was paid in advance, and that diversion of them into war service has unfavorably af- fected several banks in Norway, as well as the companies' stockho The allies allowed a fair ice for all commandeered ships, and un- doubtedly is paying for any that are already in, use. Owners cannot rea- sonably expect payment now for those which have not• been finished and launched. Why did they pay the entire price before keels were laid down? Ger- many has destroyed more than one-- third of Norway's merchant tonnage. This work of the _submarines has in- creased the profits of ships which survive, and stimulated investment in new carriers. The submarines have sunk more than 700 Noiwegian ships and takennthe lives of 5, 00 men, who were on them. Any complaints which- shipping hichshipping companies in that couutry- may, desire to make should be ad- dressed to Germany, which by cut- ting down aeean tonnage has caused. the exceptional demand that com- mandeering portly. °satisfies. At the New Year's eeligious services the Norwegian Government Warned the people by proclamation that Norway was in danger of being drawn - into the war. But -the .danger is not on, account of the sinking of ships and sailors, if we may judge from the Government's course during the. last year. If Norway were taking part in, the war, her losses would not exceed those which she has suffered as a neutral, - Picketing the Air. The aerial- pickets are doubl•ess,the most alert to be found anywhere in a modern army. Attacking fleets of air-, craft may fly at a speed of one hun- dred miles an hour, so that time is very valuable in preparing for de- fence.. The pickets or observers do not depend upon their eyesight in watching for such an enemy; says Boys' Life. The approach of an enemy craft is first detected . by means of delicate • microphones which catch the faintest sound of the aeroplane's propellers long before they are in sight, The apparatus consists of a ' group of great horn -like instruments with the openings pointed in every direction. The faint buzz of the propellers is picked up from several miles away .and magnified by the microphones so that it is audible to -the human ear. These detectors are especially valu- able at night orn thick . weather, when an aeroplane might approach within, 'striking distance before it could be observed. . Every conceivable precaution is taken to- warn of the approach of enemy aircraft. Along the frontier between France and Germany, for ex- ample, a series of captive balloons constantly swing at the end of long tethers, each carrying an alert look- out or observer. The moment an aerial enemy is sighted the observer telephones or telegraphs a warning to his base, and the warning is rush- ed to the headquarters of the air fleet. On the frontier where such attacks, are expected the aerial defences are wonderfully complete. First there is They Have Brought Relief To'Thousands WHY NOT YOU ? 50 Cents :per boa.

Joly of Dublin has sug- gested- an ingenious, method of meas- uring distances by wireless, says the Popular Science Monthly. He relies on the fact that disturbances travel with different Speeds in, different media. Sound travels eleven hundred feet or more a second in air and about forty-seven hundred deet ase- cond in water, whileswireless or light signals travel at equal speeds. Thus, if a shore station sends out these different signals at the same time, they will not be received by th ship sianialtau.eously, there will be n in- terval of time between them that' will increase as the distance of the ship from the shore. increase.,. 1 If t mile from the station, a ship woud re- ceive a sound signal in air 4 5 se- conds later than a sound si al In water, and an air- sound 5.5 se onds, or a• sound in water 1.2 secon s late' er than a wireless= signal. Therefore, with a knowledge • of the interval which elapses between the reception of any two of these different signals, it is s� comparatively simpl-e atter to calculate the source frown Which they have been sent. Knowledge of arithmetic is all that is necessary. A Six -In -One Article. A pocket article about the s e of a fountain pen; which, after investi- gation, proves to be fully equipped to perform all the 'arduous duties of nail file and an envelope opener, has been' invented by Mandius J. Allinson of Los' Angeles, California. In its simple dress, the article looks like a combined euler and pencil, but a mere touch transforms it into a comb, or into. an envelope opener. All of it is made of aluminnm, except a small file of thin steel which serves , as the nail file, The inventor elalnas it would re- mind children to keep their hair combed and their finger n.aies cared for.
