To be exact there are 279 more females than males in the riding. As the population of the riding is esti- mated at about 19,000 and it is esti- mated that two-thirds of these would require to register, it will be seen that the law was very generously com*plied with in this riding. •The figures are as- follows: Males Females St. Marys ... ... 1677 1696 Blanshard • 656 673 Downie 547 513 South Easthope 472 512 • Tavistock ........ 99 137 Fullerton 605 615 • Hibbert ...... 644 618 Mitchell 598 817 Logan • 786 782 Total • 6084 s6363 Grand Total, 12,447 WHEN YOUR: COLOR FADES • When a girl -or a woman -finds her color fading, when her cheeks and lips grow pale and -she gets short of breath easily and herheart,palpitates after slight exertion, or under the least ex- citement, it means that she is suffer- ing from - ahaemia-thin, watery blood.

GUARD ABY'S HEALTH IN THE SUMMER The summer months are the most dangerous to children. , The cam - plaints of that season, which are holera infanturn, colic, diarrhoea, and dysentry come on so quickly thet often a little life is beyond aid before the mother realizes he is ill. The mother must be on her guard to pre- vent these troubles, or if they do come �n suddenly to cure them. •No other medicine is of such aid tp mothers during hot weather as Babe's Own Tablets. They regulate the stomach and bowels and are ab- solutely safe. Sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box front The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ontario.

It Is a trite saying new that of the Allies Raemaekers, whO was almost unknown before.the war, is as good as an army corps, ,or that the Germans would rather lose grew could. 1 man. ed, ho upea h brutal Gonna because • battle if, by that loss, they y hands on the artist-Dietch- t cannot be too often reiterat- ever, that the 'reason why " has placed a high. price in is not merely because, with frankness, he has depicted y as the Cain of nations, but there is no gainsaying the inexorable truth embodied in his car- toons. Louie Raemaekers spent his early years at Roermopd, in Holland, and afterwardetudied. art in Amsterdam and Bressels. Before the war he was living quietly •with his family-- in Haarlern, the ' heart of tulip -land, where' he was contentedly painting the caeals,, cattle, and windmills Of beloved Dutch countryside. Four days after the war began, he drew his first cartoon, "Christendom After Twenty Centuries." He investigated the horrors in Belgium -personally; since then, his chief thought has been of the war and how best to aid the cause of the Allfes. His early car- toons appeared in the Telegraaf 'of Amster am, and at . once attracted _generall attention. From the outset • his woi Its revealed something more than th humorous or ironical wer of the caricaturist; they showed* that behind jthe mere pictorial comment on the srar was a man who thought and wr ught with a deep and un- compro isin.g conviction as to 'right and wrong. The leading newspapers, first of olland, then of the - Contin- ent and reat Britain, reproduced his sketche Quick to • recognize the significa ce of his work, the German autkorit es did all in their power to suppres it, and, failing in this, used every form of intrigue at hand to silence him. • They charged him with endangering Dutch neutrality; they puta. iproPpe.on„his- head,. and he was continually threatened with the ven- geance Ot the central powers. Then Raemaekers removed with his !al:alit to a sub rb of London. The English public a4corded him, a warm co reat crowds thronged the gaUries where his cartoons were eit- hibitedater, in Paris, he was pre- sented- w th the Cross of the Leiden of Honor and was given a .reception at the Sorbonne, which is said to be the highest purely intellectual honor Europe can confer. He has a wonderful record for in.: dustry, for he has drawn more than 600 cartoons sine the war began. There is scarcely a phase of it, politi- ell, military, or naval, on which his brush and pencil have not made their comment, and a line once placed is seldom altered. To understand Raemaekers fully,. one mus f first understand the Ger- mans. Civilization expects implicit obedience to the accepted code by all its devotees. Now some of us have had a mental picture of the Germans, surviving from long, long ago, as a peacefully inclined industrious folk, as students, philosophers, efficient merchants, and domesticated men and women. But we did not under- stand: the modern German, and, so soon as the war broke out and we began to reason from cause to effect, our appraisal of German ideals re- ceived a rude shock. We found "Kul- tur" in plane. of the familiar type, and one supreme man at the head of a casteusing the people like pawns., teaching. thin the gospel of hate, and employing every material force at hand to achieve the destruction of other nations for the sake of national glorification and the aggrandizement of the German state. We found a people turned Universal enemy, us- ing war as a means to break down the moralel of whole nations and as an agent of mendacity, misrepresen- tation, wholesale cruelty, and ruth- less conquest. Raemaekers revolted at once. He showed sheer, unadulterated facts in picture, drawn as it were with the point of a sword, or'a bayonet. • He showed that in face of "Kultur" no one could be neutral. There is no, mistaking Raemaekers. No matter what its form, he loathes "Kultur," and against the dark background of evil he causes to stand out the nobil- ity, endurance, and sublimity of the objects of "Kultur's" persecution, the sacredness of the allied cause. Never for a moment is he in doubt that that cause will succeed. Victory to him is inevitable. For that view he is n3.ore than an encouragement to the world; he is an inspiration, as much an inspiration as though the war had long since ceased and he were recording in bronze and marble the glorious victory of civilization, instead of merely presenting us with tithe first rough sketch. • The Beer of. Borneo. Beer as made by the natives of Sarawak, in the northwestern region of Borneo, varies in its ingredients according to the different tribes who make it, the most intoxicating being _that made by the ,.Bisaiyahs of Lim - bank. These people make their beer by boiling rice, adding yeast, crush- ed wild chili, and a large lump of wood ash. This is'all put into a ar till the jar is two-thirds full, and cov- ered over with leaves which are held down with bamboo supports; water is poured on till the jar is full, ande the beer Is then ready for drinking. The drinking is Performed by push- ing bamboo tubes down to the bot, tom of _the jar and then sucking up the liquid:. So that no one shall have more than his. fair proportion at .a tilpe, a system ot floats is arranged wherein, the amount of drink con- sumed by_ each man is registered. kootsrioR .- • 1 Stewart Eros. a...asses, • Maill and Phone Orders Carefully ..Stewart Bios, - omm.inamaimemew..
