"Either
aid="Either the civilian pop:.
lation must g'o short of Mary things to which it is eec 4stoned
in times of peace or our (err/des must go short of munifipns and
other things indispensable to them."
OW the only way we can
possibly live up to that
obligation .is by going with-
out in order that our .soldiers
may have. For the money
we waste is not money at
all—it is equipment, clothing,
shot and shell that are ur-
'gently needed in France.
By denying ourselves, there-
i)re, we .enable Canada to
procure to the fullest extent
the materials and labor which
she and our Allies need for
the successful prosecution of
the war.
What happens when we fail
to save? T
A pull on labor by the Govern
ment in one direction and a
pull on labor by the people
in the opposite direction.
Hundreds of millions of
dollars"are of •no use to the
country if goods and services
can be secured only to the
extent of eighty millions of -
dollars. So we must do every-
thing in our power to release
both goods and labor for the
purposes for which Canada
needs them.
WHETHER it be food,
coal, wool, steel, Leather,
labor or transportation, the
result in all cases is the same.
Whoever competes with the
nation by freely satisfying his
own desires, selfishly • appro-

A Beautiful Ballad
Keep the home &es. burning,
It's for coal we're yearning,
Though Jack Frost is far away
He's coming home.
There's a furnace yawning,
There's a cold day dawning,
Stop your talk and bring the coal
Ere Jack Frost comes home.
More Bouquets to Jim
We are in receipt of a copy of last
week's Wingham Advance containing an
interesting writeup of the industries of
the town, the homes, municipal utilities
and other points of interest. The whole
is profusely illustrated and takes up over
thirty long columns The writeup is the
work of an old Brampton man, Mr.
James W. Beattie, litho has done quite a
lot of this sort of work in his day, and his
latest effort shows that he has not lost the
art of writing that which pleases people.
Mr. Beattie and the publisher of the !
Advance are to be congratulated on a I
most creditable production.— Brampton

Cut The Profanity
Who pays for your profanity, if you use
cuss words? Those who are too liberal
with that style of language ought to re-
member that the Statutes do not permit
it and any person can be brought before a I
Magistrate tor such talk, A few lessons
might have a wholesome effect,for even
g
young Lads, when they think they are out
of reach, sometimes
beIch t sato and
a d
obscene language that they seem to be
quite familiar with. Who is their instruc-
tor we wonder in this style of talk?
Adults appear to forget the force of ex-
ample when they use terms that are not
pleasing either to God or man. It is a
most unmanly thing to defame the name
of the Deity.

to make sales. Prospective buyers
see the good exhibits made and en-

Hints on Harvesting moot Crops.
Root crops should be taken up be-
fore the weather becomes too wet and
disagreeable in the fall if in any
quantity, It Is slow work at any
time and becomes much more so un-
der cold damp conditions. Lift. the
roots with a digging fork and twist
off the tops, putting them in piles
and covering with the tops. If a
large area is to be lifted, and one is
expert with a sharp hoe, he can very
quickly remove the tops, but they
will not keep quite as well. The
roots should be ploughed out, throw-
ing them as much as possible on the
top, Bins with slatted sides and
1,r1tout should be used for storage
where possible, as , this gives the
roots a chance to sweat. If the•stor-
ctge roost temperature is above 40F.
cover them with sand. Carrots should
not be deeper than two feet in a bin,
others may be four feet. Where eel
ler storage is not available use nits.
Thos- should be three feet wide,. twa
or three feet high and of any length.
Mitis the pits north and south where
possible, and have them on welI-
rlrained ground. Put a layer of straw
on the ground and cover first with
sitraw 6 inches deep then 6 inches
earth, and as the frost gets harder
cover with fresh strawy manure.
Have ventilators every 15 or 20 feet,
alI roots sweat in storage. These
may be tilled with straw during cold
periods.
All roots should be as free from
dirt as possible when put in storage.
It is often advisable to leave a few
,lays in small piles so that at the
r:ond lifting any adhering will be
'moved.—A. H. MacLennan, 13.S.A.,
Ontario Vegetable Specialist.
Cereal Gi (ins for Bread-tnakiug.
On this continent and in Europe
we use wheat in much larger quan-
tities than any other grain, This is
because the Hour made from wheat
contains the constituents necessary
to form gluten. Rye contains a simi-
lar substance to a lesser extent, white
tiiu (tiler grains do not have any of
is material, Gluten is a tough,
.Mastic, tenacious substance, capable
of considerable expansion. Conse-
quently, when the gas liberated
through the action of yeast seeks to
make its way out of wheat 'flour
dough. the gluten expands, retaining
the gas and causes the dough to. rise.
When the bread is baked the gluten
is "set" or coagulated, and this ac-
counts for the light porous structure
of wheat bread. When surrounded
by a proper crust the moisture is re-
' rained and the bread may be kept
lot, several days and still be an at-
tractive article or food. Rice, oats,
- corn and barley ca:toot '•e used alone
. to prepare bread of this type. They
cannot bo expanded by gleans of
yeast for their is no cohesion in the
mass, They may be used in making
biscuits and cakes or quick breads,
whielt breaks easily, dries out read-
ily, cannot be safely transported, and
' must be consumed within a few Lours
after being prepared.
On the other hand, there is com-
paratively little difference in the
composition of the various cereal
grains and, consequently, one will
as )� digestible furnish about mut di nu-
-
- trients as another. if, then, in a time
of wheat shortage like the present,
we substitute some of the flour of
- corn, oats, barley, buckwheat, etc.,
for wheat flour in making bread, we
do not decrease its nutritive value.
We do dilute the gluten and thus
limit the power of expansion of the
dough and we make the bread da

Another letter by Willie Bolt, in which

the troop. ship.
Halifax, N. 5., Aug. 4th, 1'J18.
Dear folks. -
This is the fourth anniversary
of the date Britain declared war on Ger-
many. This has been a very interesting
day for me, and also one which Ilas caused
me to think of nny past life, and of my
dear ones at home. We Ieft .Halifax at
1,30. We are now on the deep ocean en
route for Tngland, and thence to do our
bit for king and country, After leaving
Halifax, it seemed no time till we had left
dear old Canada far in the distance, We
can see nothing now but vessels and water.
There are some twenty ships in the con-
voy, so you will see we are not alone.
Ours was the first ship to start out, but
the others followed in turn. The rear ship
was some distance behind us, but we ran
on slow "speed to enable them to come up.
To night we are together, and it seems
nice This. is Sunday, and we had a very
interesting grid helpful service this morn-
ing at ten o'clock. The boys all seem to
take an, inteest in the service, and cer-
tainly take their thoughts back home
We had a splendid song service, and one
of our chaplains gave us a very appropri-
ate address. Then this evening we had
another meeting, just as good as this fore-
noon, Our captain certainly feels for the
welfare of the boys, especially in our lives.
He spoke to us in a way that we could not
get away from the truth. He asked for
all of us who would promise to write a line
or two home every day on our way over
to hold up our hands. t, along with many
others, decided to do so, and I will try to
keep my promise. 'Then again, he pleaded
for us to make a' decision to lead the good
life to the best. of our ability. I also
signed one of these which I will forward to
you in this letter. We gave the stub from
the end to the captain and it will follow us :Ai
all the way through.

The Great Smelter at Trail, 8.0.
LTE(OUGH, as is well known, a ' at that time the War Eagle—Centre 'fined, and then to satisfy our own Te.
world-wide attention was first
directed to British Columbia
by reason of the discoveries in the
late "fifties" and early "sixties" of
alluvial gold in the Fraser rivet and
in the streams of the Cariboo dis-
trict—and
is-
trict and for many years a rich ban
vest was reaped from these sources—
mining as att important basic indus-
try of the Province ---and it is now
by far the most important industry
in British Columbia—was not, fairly
launched until nearly forty-five years
later; and the building of the Trail
smelter in 1896 by that brilliant
young American financier and copper
king, F. Auguste Heinze, not only
made Rossland, whose mitres have
since produced .gold, silver and cop-
per to the value of $70,008,000 in
round figures, but had the effect of
enormously stimulating mineral de-
velopment •and the investment of
capital in mining in other sections of
the province. But Heinze was essen-
tiaily a business man, and in estab-
lishing his , smeltery was certainly
not actuated by phtlanthropic or
elemosynary motives. It was no part
of his plan to operate the smelter for
the profit of anyone but himself.
Hence although he received a land
grant from the Provincial Govern-
ment as a consideration for the con-
struction of the smelter and of a
narrow,guage railway to afford eon•
nation between the works at Trail
and the mitres at Rossland, and also
obtained an assuranee from the Do-
minion Government of a bonus of a
dollar on each ton of ore treated, he
also took care that the rate imposed
on the treatment of eustoms' ores
should be a tolerably stiff one, In
