Of New Domestic and Wash Goods, Sug-
gesting Many Beautiful Fabrics for
Spring a Summer Dresses
A display characteristic of this store's desire .to at -
ways present to the ladies of this vicinity an exhaust-
ive and colnprehensiye showing of the most favoureti
materials as created by the latest fabric designers of
this and other t°ountries. Printed fabrics are much
in demand and many dainty designs in suitings, voiles
and crepes afford a most pleasing selection from
which to choose right now while the goods are for
new stock, so that we are trying to steer a medium
course between the high and low prices, and thereby
forming a price basis very.advantaageous to the early
buyer in these limes. As the season advances and
mere of the newer lines comes, on under higher
prices and unless your old stock is available we must
ask hither prices.
We have a good range of the new things in scrims,
nets, cretonnes, furniture covering etc., in all the lat-
est effect,
A few fine patterns are shown in 4 yard wide Lin-
oleum and some bright and new while the entire
stock is complete, i'3 the best time to buy for• Spring
and summer, then, too, by buying now you do away
with the later rush and hurry that will surely come if
you don't propose for the new seas;on now.
House Ftu nishing's
Nearly everything in house furnishings have taken
a decided advance, Carpets, Eugs, Luloleums etc.
Fortunately we have always carried a good big range
of these lines and to -day we are using owl, stirpiu;
stock in these lines to ease upon the higher prices we
have been obliged to pay and some very effective,
patterns in floor oils.
A few nice shall rtlgs thrown round in the 111 'ar,
tilled places in a room add to the effe ct and save
materially on the carpets, we have a choice range
and bt fore fixing up this Spring you owe it to yo° r'
self to come and look over our house furnishing lines.

TO RE(e'RUIi' 40U0 MEN
An extra eiiert is being shade to
raise Military Illetrict No, 1 to Ito
allotted q iota of 4000 teen for the C.
D.1e, Battalions in, each case of 1000
men, are to be raised by the 7th Regi-
ment, London, 21st Regiment, W ind•
'K V, '22 .d Regiment, woodktook, and
2111 Regiment, Si, Thomas.
The period of engagement, the age
limite and the physical standards ase
the same as for service overseas, The
special attestation papore to be signed
by each recruit make it quite clear
that the force to be raised is solely
for home defence, It is hoped that
many who enlist in the 0. D. F. will
afterwards transfer to the 0, E. F,
but they will not bo compelled to do
so,
Ealieted men will train two evenings
anti one afternoon a week, and will be
paid at the rate of 50 cents for each
parade. When the unit goes into
camp, men will of course receive full
pay and allowances, which in all eases
are but slightly lower than in the case
of the 0,E. F.
Since the early Jaya of the war,
Canada has never been with-
out an armed force of at least
50.000 wren ready to be used if required
in the protection of Canada and Canad-
ian homes. There are approximately
50,000 soldiers in Canada today.
£hese men are urgently needed over-
seas. In order that they may be re-
leased without delay; and in order
that this country may not consequent-
ly be left defenceless, it is imperative
that a C. D. F. be raised at once.
Home service in these critical times is
an urgent necessity; it is highly hon-
ourable, and to men who for various
reasons are unable to go overseas, it
affords a splendid opportunity to play
a manly part.
Recruiting for the C. D. F. will not
of course do away with the necessity of
recruiting for the C. • E. F. Men are
still wanted in great numbers far
service overseae.
SOLDIERS HAVE FOOD
(Continued from page 4)
think that is a good proof, showing
that the British organization is more
than wonderful, every consideration
is shown us and everything is clone
that can bo done to make our life as
easy and pleasant as possible. We are
not worked so awfully hard at times
and if we do have it hard fur a few
days it is more than made up to ue and
we get a good rest after. of course we
would all far rather be at home that is
only natural but we have a duty to
perform of which I am proud to have
taken part in, and until that is done
and done successfully I don't want to
come home. I would rather stay out
here 5, yes 10 more years, rather than
come home before this glorious work
of oars is accomplish)]. Who would
not glory in takrug part in this conflict
so that our mothers, sisters, children,
and children's children may live in
peace and freedom? Want waul l th• y
have to suffer if we did not come cent
here and crush this madman and his
gang of murderers? It would not mat
ter much for us I suppose for our time
is getting shorter in this world but if
we all thought of our Children and the
coming generations, I think there
would be very few slackers in Canada
I often wonder to myself that when
this work is done and us boys come
marching home with our soiled hands
and faces soiled with glory and suc•
cess, not murder, will those slackers
stand on the street and cheer ue, if they
do they will bring double disgrace to
themselves, I think they could not ex.
petit us to feel any thrill of joy at their
cheers, they will do far better if they
hide themselves and peek behind the
blinds as they are doing now. Well I
guess you will, be getting tired. 'of this
talk, but your letter seemed to tell me
that you have been very much mislead
as to the way we are fairing out here,
.so I thought 1 would just give you a
few of the facie, to convince you that
such conditions did not exist ip the
Army, in Prance I hope that you will
give this letter, that is all that is nec-
essary
ec-essary the fullest publicity in TUE AD-
VANCE for such letters as you say have
been put in the paper must make
many poor mothers over there, that
have sons and husbands over here, al-
most break their hearts.. This letter I
hope will convince many of those
mothers and wives that in regards to
the food that there is ample of it and
that every bit of it is the very beet and
as much as one wants, As the clothes
I hove seen no stint in the issuing of
'them, nor boots, or underclothes. One
can get a clean change as oft en aethey
want or as often as is ne,cessary and
also a shower bath at the same time,
so there is no need to even be dirty
after you are out of the line 24 hours:
in fact I hada bath within 2 hours and
a change after 1 came out of the lines
the other day.
There are also Y. M. C. A. huts all
over the place and Church Army .'Huta
where you can go and sit in the warm

letters where paper and envelopes are
given free, also most evenings there
is a concert given free in each of them.

Bood•Bye John Barleycorn
Tho following from a leading Chica-
go paper shows that Unclt3 Sam will
not likely take assliong as John Bull
to decide whether or not he can do
without alcohol:
+'When the time comes that the
people of the United States and the
world must choose between food and
alcohol drink, they will decide in fav-
or
avor of food. That time is here now,
sooner than we expected.
Forty-six Governors, or forty-six out
of our forty-eight States, have advised,
President Wilson that they favor €►
dry United States during at `least the
period of the war, If the war should
only last a year or so longer there wil
be such a shortage of food during that
time that it will be two or three
years , before there will be enough
grain to provide every one with a full
loaf. Before that time comes, the
criminal foolishness of destroying
food to make booze will so appeal to
everyeone that the United States will
remain dry.
Circumstances frequently force
people to do the very things that they
should have done years before, Good-
bye, John Barleycorn!"

GET READY FOR GARDEN
How to Plan Your Work and
Work to a Plan,
EVERYBODY GROW E.ATABLES
First of Series of Timely Hints—Get
Your Ground Ready Now, but
Don't Be in Too Much of a Hurry
to Put in the Seed.
(By t3. C. JOHNSTON, Vegetable
Speclaliot, Ontario Department of
Agriculture, 'Toronto.)
At no time in many years has the
necessity and importance of the
home vegetable garden be!n so clear-
ly shown as for this coming summer.
France, our wonderful ally, has since
the French Revolution been a nation
of small farmers, her people of small
means cultivating some available
land to produce a portion of their
own household foodstuffs and to in-
crease the wealth of the nation;
Great Britain, threatened with a
shortage of foodstuffs, determined to
cultivate all available land possible
to offset this shortage •and we in
Canada bending every energy toward
facilitating these great nations
should do all in our individual power
to do something in the hope of help-
ing ourselves; and assisting the com-
mercial vegetable- growers who are
seriously handicapped by the short-
age of labor in the production of
vegetable foodstuffs, Every city,
town, and village dweller has an op-
portunity to help this great work,
in that there are hundreds of avail-
able plots now practically unproduc-
tive which could be made grow
vegetables and thus add to the
wealth of the country.
Vegetables an Important: Food.
Vegetables should form an import-
ant portion of the daily food of the
average human being,for they possess
qualities which we are told are essen-
tial in the proper digestion of the
heavy foods, such as meats. To help
you do your part in your backyard
this column will discuss some of the
practical problems in connection
with vegetable growing during the
next few weeks.
All bvackyards cannot be prepared
in one year to grow vegetables of an
excellent quality. Some portion of
the yard, however, may be devoted
to this purpose, or, if it is convenient,
there are usually many vacant lots
which are not too far from one's
place of abode which possibly could
be devoted to the growing of veget-
ables.
Some Essentials.
First of all it is essential that the
vegetable garden, no matter how
small, be planted according to some
plan or rule. No one attempts to
build a house or to set out a peren-
nial flower border without using
some drawing or cbart to go by. Why
should the vegetable garden be treat-
ed differently? Haphazard planting
will prove a failure, and in •irder to
overcome this it should be remem-
1,ered in laying out the garden that—
(1) Tall plants will bo most effec-
tive if placed behind low ones, not
intermingled with them.
(2) All plants closely allied
should be grown together, not in the
same row, but in rows adjoining one
another.
(3) The fences may be decorated
with vine crops which may bo sup-
ported ' on the fences by means of
strings or lattice work.
(4) All quickly maturing veget-
ables should be planted in a portion
of the garden by themselves so that
they may be =harvested and the
ground used for other crops later
on.
The work of planning the garden
to determine what vegetables and
how much of each is to be grown
will' be influenced by one's individ-
ual tastes. One should grow an
abundance of such crops as one con-
sumes the most.

The back -yard gardener should de-
cide very early which crops are to
be grown and should puechase his
seed as soon as possible. It must he
remembered, however, that much of
this seed may be wasted {if it is
planted too early in the season. The
soil must be warm to receive the
seeds. and amateur gardeners must
have patience until it is certain that
good growing weather is really here.
It is possible in ordinary seasons to
plant some vegetables in April, and
yet many backyard vegetable en-
thusiasts will be well advtsed to
wait until the middle of May before
doing very much in the garden,

The Revolution in Russia
AFTER an absence of a little
more than three months, Mr.
George Bury has just returned
from Russia, which country he visit-
ed at the request of the British and
Russian Governments in connection
with transportation.
Mr. Bury was accompanied through-
out his trip by Mr. W. H. Winter-
rowd, Assistant Chief Mechanical En-
gineer of the Canadian Pacific. Mr.
Bury and Mr. Winterrowd travelled
from London to the north of Scot-
land, from where they were carried
to Norway by a British destroyer.
They proceeded through Norway,
Sweden and Finland to Russia.
Mr. Bury states that his experience
gained by ^close personal contact and
association with Lord Shaughnessy
enabled him to make recommenda-
tions which were accepted by the old
Russian Government as well as by
the new, who are now putting them
into force with great vigor.
"Russia," he says, "is, ,,of course,
an immense country. It has te popu-
lation of 176 million people. The last
time they took the census the papers
bad to be printed in seventy-two lan-
guages, or dialects.
"In Russia I travelled from a point
where I saw reindeer caravans to a
point where I saw caravans of camels
—that is, from Lapland to the Cate
casus.
