The days are change- able --one height, the next one cold and stormy, that the mother Is afraid to take the children out for the fresh air and exercise they need no much. In consequence they are often coop- ed up in overheated, badly ventilated rooms and are soon seized with colds or grippe. What is needed to keep the little ones well is Baby's Own Tablets. They will regulate the stomach and bowels and drive out colds and by their use the baby will be able tb get over the winter season in perfect safety. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicines Co., Brockville, Ont. WARSHIP WITH EARS That Britain learned of many weak- nesaness in her battleships during the Battle of Jutland is admitted by "A Naval Architect" writing for the London Daily Mail. Chief of these was their vulnerability to "plunging fire"—that is shells which drop nose foremost on deck—and to armor - piercing high explosives when fired at certain angles at a ship under steam. The rectifying of these and other defects is marking the cost of modern dreadnought, construction tre- mendous, according to this writer. After pointing out that "The Hood," Britain's latest addition to her fleet, cost at least $35,000;000—snore than twice the cost of any of her prede- cessors—and that future Ships -of war will come still higher, this high authority goes on to say: "The question how best to defend ships against aerial and submarine attack has likewise to be decided. When a warship goes into action now- adays she has to face the possibility of being subjected to heavy gunfire by a surface enemy, 'sniped' from the air, and shot at with torpedoes by ; underwater craft—all at the same tyre. And if she is to have any . chance of surviving she must be; equipped for warding off all these assaults. "Aerial attack grows daily more formidable. It is no longer confined to mere bomb, dropping; air -craft carry torpedoes which they can dis- charge at a ship by making a quick swoop upon her. And these torpedo - armed flying machines are formidable opponents, as recent demonstrations have shown, for the probable outcome of a warship versus torpedo -carrying aeroplane duel is one of the subjects that our Navy has investigated by practical experiment. "Propelling machinery, too, has en- tered upon a new stage of evolution. America pins her faith to electric propulsion. No less a person than Mr. ,losephus Daniels himself told me that she had adopted this class of machin- ery and meant to stick to it. We have not got beyond oil fuel and turbines. "Other things now in their infancy, but whioh may, shortly materially af- fect warship construction, are 'wire- less' steering and hydrophones (sub- marine 'listeners'). In fact, capital ship design now involves so many problems that the Admiralty will be justified in going slowly until assur- ed that they have obtained something that is as near finality as can be . reached. It would be sheer folly to spend millions upon vessels that would be obsolescent almost as soon as they were launched." collars' that fasten high about the throat, below which the cape falls away from the front without any fastening. Gray frocks of georgette are made with mach use of dyed filet—dyed gray, of course, exactly to match the shape of the georgette. Many of the new spring shoes show round toes. Some of them have a low French heel, a baby Louis heel, as is is called„ Some of the shoes are made of tlnede of some shade cut away to show designs inleather or suede of a darker or lighter shade beneath .i a trick .resorted to also by the glove makers,'who in some of the new gauntlet gloves have done the same thing. Last summer in Paris there were many shoes with fringed tongues at the front. These were made in leather and\suede. To -day there are fringed gauntleted gloves, sometimea with the fringe of two tones of the same color. Odds and ends of silk can be beau- tifully utilized in this way: Cover the ends of the little wooden cylin- der with large disks of the ribbon drawn down over the ends and tied tightly and smoothly with thread. A large piece of silk is wound about the cylinder. If raw at the ewes, it is neatly turned in. The silk is then neatly whipped into a seam and to the silk covered ends to keep it from slipping off. Such a chopped -off broomstick so covered makes a good foundation on which to wind ribbons so that if left overnight they will look as though smoothly ironed. ' Oyster white and Chinese red are used together with the most, inter- esting effect in some of the new silk frocks for the South. Silver and black hats are as smart as anything one could choose for for- mal afternoon or for evening wear. The combination of color is affected in various ways. Sometimes the hat is of silver lace with black feathers. Sometimes silver ornaments are used on a black hat. Black is combined with an effect of vivid contrast with bright colors. There is a black gown with sleeves of vivid flame colored georgette. And clear lemon yellow is used for em- ' broidertng a black satin gown. 1 1 "The E.

Some of our friends among the grocers, in apealdng of our letter to the press on 'grocers' profits, have indicated that apparently it has been. construed by some readers to mean that Red Rose Tea was the only ar- tiele on which the grocer takes a smaller profit, ih //order, to give his customers a highdr quality. It was not our intention to convey such an impression, as we know tkat most grocers sell well known brands of other goods at leas profit than they could make on some brands equaily well known, and for the same reason that they recommend Red Rose Ted, simuly to give their customers the best possible value. In our letter we mentioned Red Rose Tea because it naturally came first to our mind and because we knew that grocers were selling it at a less profit than they make on other teas.—T. H.

The flatiFlan- dors landscape was strangely silent and still. No guns fired and few ;tiles. Birds, usually e0 fare In win- ter trenches, appeared in tabmberd, as tunny as fifty selarrowa being fed • around a dugout.' At 8.30 a.m. a British officer, look- ing over hes parapet, saw four- un- armed Germans leave their trenches, which at this point were some 350 to 400 paces distant. This officer and one from another company immedi- ately went out and met the enemy outside our barbed wire. The latter consisted of three private soldiers ;end a stretcher-bearer. They stated chat They thought it only right to ruin over and wish happy th Tsuuaa, trusting ua implicitlyusai Lo keep the p�e. The spokesman of the partypeace., Who spoke excellent Eng- ' Ilett, aaked that a postcard—which he wrote forthwith—might be sent to a young woman whom, together with a motor bicycle, he had left in Suffolk. 'Chis request was carried out by one of the Brltlah officers. These four Germans were Jaegers and Saxons of the 108th Infantry Regiment — the troops which had successfully defended their trenches un the night of December 18-19. They protested that they had come over out of good -will; that they had no feeling of enmity tgward the Eng- lish; that everything lay with their authorities and, being soldiers, they had to obey. There had come into their possession a copy of the Daily Telegraph of December 10 of that year, which, they averred, had caused no end of amusement. "You English are being hoodwinked!" France was "done," they said, Russia had receiv- ed a series of very heavy blows and would shortly give in, England alone carried on the war! There was more conversation of the game sort In the middle of No Man's Land. The Ger- mans protested -that She English press was to blame for working up feeling against them by publishing atrocity reports. There was a discus- sion about soft -nosed bullets (which the Germans claimed to have seen in possession of English prisoners), dam-dum bullets, and. the high -veloc- ity, sharp -nosed bullet. Finally the truce was formally ratified, a ditch being appointed as a halfway meet- ing place. The interview terminated with an exchange of English' cigar- ettes and German cigars. A short while later there floated down between the two lines of wenches the strains of the well- known marching song, "Tipperary," followed' by, those, taken up all along the German line, of "Deutschland, 1)eulschaland uber Alles." Out In the iulddle of No Man's' Land stood six or seven large groups of mingled Ger- man and English. And, although it may he- staid that the fraternization was of the most genuine character, considerable suspicion prevailed on the part of the English and no pre- cautions against possible treachery had been neglected. Not so soon could the lessons of Bonnebeke or Kruaeik be :orgotten! Every sort of souvenir was exchanged and many strange presents given. Addresses were tak- en down and the ,photographs of families handed round among those who six nights before had been lock- ed In a life and -death struggle. One German, on being offered a Virginia &gazette, smilingly said: "No, thanks. 1 smoke only Turkish." Next a Saxon non-commissioned officer, wearing the iron cross and the badge of an expert sniper,started'hia men on a marching song, the British meanwhile chanting national airs, and Christmas carols such as "Good King W.enceslaus." Finally the keen air and this remote spot in Artois were awakened to the loud singing of "Auld Lang Syne," in which all— English, Prussians, Soots, Saxons, Irish, and Wurtembergers alike -- joined. For the groups of Jaegers and Saxons of the 158th Regiment had been swollen by men of the 87th and 15th Infantry Regiments. After the singing of "Auld Lang Syne," it Is related that a hare, not surprisingly startled by so unwonted a sound, rose from between the trenches. British' and Germane gave chase until; all of a heap, they killed it in the open. It was at this juncttue that the commanding officer of the British battalion appeared and, wishing every one present a "Merry Christ- mas," produced from his pocket a bottle et rum, whereat a shout of joy went up, exceeding all that had gore before. A German soldier un- corked It and proceeded ceremonlouo- 1y to drink his opponents' health in behalf of bis Kameraden. All theft retired to their trench lines for the Christmas dinner, --Capt. W. Ewart in Harper's Magazine. It is a waste of time and money to fight merely the signs of disease; in the long run you are probably worse off than when you started. What is far more important is that you should intelligently examine the various symptoms and trace the cause. When you remove the cause, health wi1L be yours. For example, anaemic people often endure months of suffering while treating its symptoms, sea as. indigestion, shortness of breath, pal- pitation of the heart and exhaustion after any small short. The apparent stomach and heart troubles are generally nothing more than the result of an insufficient sup- ply of pure blood This anaemic state may have followed some pre- vious illness, or an attack of influ- enza; or it may have arisen from overwork, worry, or too little freak air. To ebtain good health the sim- ple and proper course is to build up the blood,. bot to do this you most select a reliable remedy with a repu- tation such as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills enrich the tipod which carries nourishment to all the organs of the body and enables them to do the work nature expects of them. Thousands of men and women have proved this for theniselpes. One of these is Mrs. T. Flynn, R.R. No. 1, Erinaville, Ontario, who says: "Last spring I got into a badly run down condition. I had no energy; work left me exhausted, and the least ex- ertion would make my heart palpi- tate violently. I had often read of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and decided to give them a trial and got a half dozen boxes. I had not been taking the pills long when I felt a decided improvement in my condition and by the time I had used the six boxes I could do my housework with ease. I can strongly recommend Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills to all weak people." You can get these pills tkronagh any dealer in medicine, or by mail postpaid a 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A furious Fact. One curious point which is shown in Insurance tables is that those or- ganic diseases which are so frequent In middle lite develop at a period from five to ten years later than they didfiftyyears ago. Medical science has, of course, done a lot for the race -to the way of lengthening hu- man life, but sanitary science has done more. Zymotic or Infectious dis- eases are being slowly but steadily conquered by improved water supply, drainage and housing. • Business Pi1si. A business man advertised for au office boy.

STEWART BROS., - Sea forth ECONOMY IN GRAi\ FEEDING THE DAIRY COW The greatest factor in the econ- omical grain feeding of the dairy cow, other than the shilaty of the cow to use her grain ration econ- omically, is the supply of home grown roughages and grain feeds available on the farm. The roughage are of importance, for the richer, mere suc- culent and more abundant they are the less grain feeding is necessary to secure the maximum milk flow from the cows. The home grown grain seeds are of equal imiiortance, for they can be grown' much more cheap- ly than they can be purchased, the quality is known, and the greater the supply grown, the smaller the capital outlay in commercial feeds. In growing grains on the f,arm to feed to dairy cattle, the farmer must of necessity stink to the class of grains that will work in best with his rotation of crops. For this pur- pose oats can hardly be excelled and they are, as well, one of the best of grains for dairy cattle feeding. An- other grain that works into a rota- tion very well, particularly as a nurse crop when 'seeding dowd a field, is barley. Greater use could be made of this grain in combination witk oats in the dairy cow's ration. Where ,04,40,401+,4 I 11 y' 04 jwfi0,t i tri+,„,, ' 'A n`i6Mle it is not desired to keep the various classes of grain separate, a very good yielding mixture, and a very good feeding mixture, is found in peas, oats, and barley,' provided the selec- tion of varieties' is made so that they will ripen as near the same time as possible. The farmer who has an abundance of good roughages, such as clover hay and silage or roots (preferably both), together with a supply of the above mentioned grains, will be in a position to feed his dairy cows both well and economically. He will, how- ever, require some purchased grain feeds so to balance the ration for his cows that they will have a sufficient quantity of protein. If the feeder had the choice of but one grain food (luckily he has many to choose from) he would be well advised to choose wheat bran to balance the ration. It is so largely sold that it4ilmost forma a standard of valves for other feeds and is consequently practically al- ways economical to buy. When we add to this its many qualities as a feed, such as high protein content; low fibre content; laxative and tonic qualities; palatability; and Its bulk- iness, it will readily be appreciated why it is always given a prominent place in the dairy cow's ration. Other standard grain feeds which are most useful in balancing a home grown grain ration, are of ke and cotton- seed meals. To many of these grains seem extremely high priced but when we consider the purpose for which they are bought, namely to supply protein, they are the cheapest feeds that can be got unless that the price 1s relatively very high indeed. If their residual yalue as manure is considered and it is no mean consideration --then they take first place as cheap protein feeds. Furthermore the grades of these commodities showing the highest protein content. even though some- what higher in price than the others, are the moat economical to buy. Another factor in economical feed- ing is the proportion in which the various grains mentioned should be included is the ration. This will de- pend to a certain extent on condi- tions. If there is a superabundance of the home grown grains, the pro- portion of the ptrrehased grains could be cut down accordingly with- out materially affectin the balance of the ration. If alfalfa and clover hays are abundant in he ration the rich protein grains may also be re- duced and the desired balance retain- ed. If, on the other band, there is a lack of these prole%* yoongkages and they are aubatitnted ty other; ettt,r.:u-« .,.�'ir. Ittii, tIk5s1t n,< its s 1,e r if.S; such as '. . a.hy nay ur strata, then more of -he pr.,t -in rich sprains are required to retain the protein balance which, it may be well to state, will under these conditions be retained at a loss. The following grain mixture, with the above variations, will be found economical: bran three parts; oats, four parts; barley, one to two parts; .oilca'ke or cottonseed meal, two parts, or one part of each. The rate at which this mixture is fed is another factor in economical feeding. It. has been found from ex- periments involving close calcula- tion, that a safe rale to folio* is to feed one pound of the grain nslxhnis to every three pounds of milk pro• duced in the case of freak and especially productive cows; one pound to every four pounds of milk pr'odvor ed for the cows well on in their lactation periods, together with those naturally less productive; and ono pound to every five pounds of milk produced with the cows that ate winding up their lactation pada*. In other wcrde the amount fed mutt be arrived at by the joint tuition of the milk scales, the milk .teeny, tthe he ffeed scales, and the judi'tnea lfeeder.
