McKILLOP Soldier Dies In British Columbia.— The people of this locality, will deeply regret to le= of the death of Albert Sidney Hewitt, who assisted. 'Mr. Knechtel with the, farm work bn the 14th concession of this town- ahip, two years ago, and took "u'p the primary examinations of the first Year students of the Methodist church, under Rev. Mr. Craik. Bert, as he was commonly called, heard the call of his country and humanity while laboring as local assistant en a. Meth- edist circuit in Essex county, but how-. ever dearly he loved his work in the Master's vineyard, yet he felt duty - toiled along with other young man - laded of Canada and offered himself in l the infantry, training at London. Not long after enlisting he was pro - meted to the rank of Corporal end was este-ezned as an efficient officer. Then it was that the call came for 'volunteers for service in Siberia and signed up with that Battalion, and was on his way to that distant post when influenza overtook him a, placed in a hospital in British Colu n- bia, the dreaded disease plucked out the ardent life on October 31st. He :was a young man of stilling character and noble ambition and had he been spared a bright future awaited him but the Master called hini to a life of higher -service. While we regret his untimely death we cherish the memory of his manly Christian endeavors on the Walton circuit, both in church aervie=e and Sabbath school. The re- paains were brought home to the sor- rowing family and laid tc rest in the Kitchener cemetery. A rich profu- sion of flowers and the many expres- ions of sympathy were tokens of the respect of which the deceased was Meld both in civilian and military life. A DANGEROUS HABIT When a boy of sixteen wog , in a munitions factory was 'Even was thought that he been leg. The suggestii was, cehied,_ however, and it was proved that the lad never touched alcohol; but the cause of the mistake lay in the fact that he had the habit of chewing cor- dite the smokeless expioaive so large- ly in the manufacture of small Etritifi. Cordite is a very stimulating drug, and quickly revives weary nerves, be- siden being extremely attractive to 'lean.'',. but the mere fact that it is composed chiefily of nitro-glycerine an,1 UYi..'otton makes it a most deadly and ci neerous drug and -quickly en- <i'tve, its victims. There was a rather memorable in- `tanze ,f." some soldiers discovering the stimulating effects of cordite during the South Alcan war; but the drug i un ita was really unknown until the last two ; of or three years. To -day the habit of chewing cordite as quite commonfi according to a writ- mong all sections of munitions work- mong al lsections of munitions' work- ers orkers whose work'brings them into con- tact wit hthe explsive. Medical teen in munition areas know the prevalence of the habit, the hold it has over the workers and the harm which it is do= hag- its victims, particularly among women and girls. Many munition workers start chew- ing cordite in complete ignorance of the harm which it is likely to do them, while many who -start the habit so quickly become dependent upon that they have -not sufficient strength of will to give it up. More than one munitioniere`�has said that chewing a bit of cordite occasion- ally enables them to carry on at hard work wlien otherwise they would have had to give in.^ It is only afterward, when the habit goes frees bad to worse, that they realize their foolishness. . There is no denying the fact that cordite recreates force and energy in a way equalled by no other stimu- lant; but it is a wholly harmful drug, which eats away both the , mental and physical system --a drug which should never be allowed to gain the mastery. In many cases, too, cordite gives its victims, the appearance of durnken- ness; more than one person had been. thought to be drunk when really they had been chewing cordite.

In other words, the roots should be given every chance to sweat thorough- ly before the pits are oovered over permanently. In view of this, it is not as a rule advisable to cover the pit completely immediately after the roots have been piled up. A layer of coarse and per- fectly dry straw to a thickness of front four to six inches may be put all over the pit, but the following layer of earth, amounting to abbot six inches, Rhould at first not be put over the top of the pit itself; in fact, it is essential that the top of the pit be left open as long as this can possibly be done without exposing - the roots to clanger of freezing, so that as inuph as possible of the moisturecaused by the sweating of the roots be let out before it is necessary to cover up the pit per- manently. In case of wet weather, the open top of the' pit should be protected so as to prevent rain from soaking down through tthe roote. ' This can be done, Or instance, by placing along the top two boards nailed together in the form of a "V." When the weather begins to get so cold that there is danger of the roots freezing, the top of the pit should be covered like this rest of it. Later on, when steady cold weather sets in it may be necessary -to put on another cover of straw and on top of that a - second layer of earth, The thick- ness of these two covers will depend entirely on local conditions. It should be so chosen that the roots are protect- ed against frost. In order to enable adequate regu- lation of the temperature during the winter when the pit is all closed in, some sort of ventilation system should be installed when the pit is being built. Perhaps one of the best systems is one using vertical shafts, reaching from the bottom to the top of the last cover of the pit, and placed at inter- vals of anywhere from six to ten feet. These shafts may be plugged' at the top in case very severe cold makes it necessary. Tl a adva=ntage of using vertical ven- tilating shafts are several, One of the most obvious is that the ,temeprature in the pit. can be taken at any time, `thereby; of` cour a making it possible to aseertain whether the temperature ni egit bl . c!._ �e . a Th tem er . l?, lure should not: be allitwed- to drop- between 32 rues, nish eliauid it be allowed to rise ever 40–degrees. In case the temperature in the pit shows a ten - denier to go too low, more cover should promptly be put on;; and in case the temperature rises too high, the pit should equally promptly be . opened for a; short while sa as to allow it to cool off. - CASTORI A Forbfant. and Children. lbe.f.
