The Exeter Advocate, 1915-8-12, Page 7ICEEP CHILDREN WELL DURING HOT WEATHER Every mother knows how fatal the hot summer months are to small chil- dren. Cholera infantum, diarrhoea, dysentry and stomach troubles are rife at this time and often a precious little life i$ lost after only a " few hours illness. The mother who keeps Baby's Own Tablets in the house feels safe. The occasional use.of the Tab- lets prevents stomach and bowel trou- bles, or if troubles come suddenly. as it generally does—the Tablets will bring the baby safely through, They. are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. COTTON AND WARFARE. Not a Shot Fired Which Cotton Has Not Propelled, W. S. Hopkins, Secretary of the British conference of Chemists and Engineers, advances the following strong views: When a shell, whether high explo- sive or shrapnel, is manufactured, two separate and entirely differen !harges are used, One is the eharg necessary to send the shell from th gun and launch it over the trenches, and the other is to burst it and scat- ter the shot and shell over our men after it has reached the spot chosen. Now take away or capture the propel- ling charge and the gunner will have to throw his shell or use hand -gren- ades, which are impracticable for long distances. This country has failed in its duty by allowing the raw material to go freely to the enemy for the manufac- ture of „further supplies, This material is cotton, one of the few materials which the Germans cannot do without. Not a shell is fired that is not propelled by cotton, and not machine-gun or rifle bullet which has killed and wounded our brave men that has not been sent on its way by cotton. Ur. Lloyd George stated in the Hpuse, recently, that one of the surprises of this war has been the extraordinary amount of ammunition used, and that "during the fortnight of fighting in and around Neuve Chapelle almost as much ammunition was spent by our artillery as during the whole of the •Boer War." A moderate computation • of 300,000 shots fired by the Germans, Austri- ans, and Turks from their ordinary 3 -inch field guns every twenty-four hours necessitates a consumption of 500 tons of cotton. If one-tenth of the 300,000 shots is fired by, say 6 -in. guns the expenditure of cotton is 000 tons every twenty-four hours, Add to this 100 tons a day for the enormous expenditure of ammunition for machine guns and for the millions of rifles in use, we get a total of 1,000 tons of cotton consumed a day. Yet, although these facts must have been known a few weeks after the outbreak of war, our enemies have been allowed to import freely. A Substitute for Cotton Wool. The Red Cross authorities in Bri- tain having pointed out the scarcity and dearness of cotton wool for dress- ing purposes, and explained that the noss on the hills is an excellent sub- stitute, the school children in Strath- hlane parish have taken the matter ap, and, under the direction of the shepherds, have been gathering moss and bringing it to the school. In school the moss is picked clean and sewn up in cheap little bags. Already 600 to 700 of these bags have been made up, and over 500 are in use in hospitals in Rome. Re Is, MI Riglit..

NO IDEA What Caused the Trouble. "I always drank coffee with the rest of the family, for it seemed as if there was nothing for breakfast if we did not have it on the table. "I, had been troubled for some time with my heart, which ' did 'not feel fright. This' trouble grew worse steadily. "Sometimes it would beat fast, and at other times very slowly, so that I would hardly be able to do work for an hour or two after breakfast, and if I walked up a hill, it gave me a sevtoe pain. (The effects -of tea are very similar to those of coffee be- cause they each contain the drug, caffeine. ) "I had noidea of what the trouble was until a friend suggested that per- haps it might be coffee drinking. I tried leaving off the coffee and began drinking Postum: The change came quickly. I am glad, to, say that I am now entirely free from heart trouble and attribute the relief to leaving o „coffee and the use of Postum.

So far as the Germans defend their attack upon the Lusitania and the other misdeeds of their submarine warfare on merchant ships, it is as reprisal or retaliation, says the Out- look. England, they say, has in her blockade and mine -laying exceeded former limitations of international law; therefore Germany may kill noncombatants as she chooses. This can hardly be called argument; it is that vicious misuse and expansion of technical rules that Germany ` has shown from the first; Antwerp has fortifications miles , away from the city; therefore, it is right and honor- able, purposely to. drop bombs on houses in the centre and kill women and ° children; some Belgians may have fired on German soldiers, there- fore it is right to kill and burn in- discriminately in Louvain. And so on through the series of savage acts which have made Germany's conduct in this war horrible and repulsive. The old cry that England's blockade is starving German people has been overexploited and its falsity is known. Germany is not carrying on her sub- marine war to get food into "Germany, but to keep munitions of war out of England—a perfectly proper object, but not one to excuse atrocities. The fact is that from the beginning Ger- many has acted on the belief that might makes right; proof gathers that her purpose was aggressive from the start, and so far as she is now on'. the defensive it is from necessity alone. If neutral nations accept her plea of necessity for uncivilized war. fare, they, may. later have to deal with that aggressive purpose exercis- ed against themselves. WOMAN FARMERS. • Are Now `Supplyiiig the Paris Market With Vegetables. The success with women • have con- tended with ' the difficulties of 'farm- ing is indicated by, a report : from the department of Meurthe and Mo- selle, France. Of the 600 communes comprising this department, 316 were taken by the Germans, and 171 of them are still occupied or are so close to the. fighting line that the inhabi- tants have been unable to return.. In the balance -of the department women replacing men ha,i°e succeeded in:seed- ing the full acreage of oats and .wheat in the communes that were riot affect- ed and 70 per cent. of the acreage of the communes that were devastated and have since- been liberated: There was not only a lack of male help in this work, but it was, seriously corn- promised by lack of horses. To facilitate the work the Government advanced the sums necessary for the seed and agricultural implements on anticipated indemnities. The creaking, lumbering, two - wheeled carts loaded with carrots,. turnips, cabbages, onions and other vegetables, driven by men in capes re- sembling the Alpine Chasseur's "beret," that were to be encountered in the streets of Paris before the war are now driven by women. It is due almost entirely to them that Paris is not deprived of the famous cauli- flower from, Chambourcy, the cele- brated white turnips of Croissy-sur- Seine, the carrots of Montessori and the delicious green peas of Clamart, as well as the luxurious asparagus of Argenteuil.

AFTER WATERLOO; When Waterloo and Wellington are one of the chief topics of conversa- tion it is interesting to read the fol- lowing letter. by Wellington the day after the battle of Waterloo; --- Poor Canning had my small des- patch -box in our battle yesterday, e and when he was killed it was lost ar - I shall be very much obliged if you will send me another of the same size of" as the last, with same Iock and key e and leather cover, &c,, as soon as possible. Let it have in it a small silver or thick glass inkstand with one of "Bramah's patent penholders and one of his pens. What do you think of the total defeat of Buena - parte by the British Army ? Never was there in the annals of the world so desperate or so hard-fought an ac- tion or such a defeat. It was really the battle of the giants. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sus- tained of my old friends and com- panions and my poor soldiers. I shall r not be satisfied with the battle, how- ever glorious, if it Joestnot of itself put an end to Buonaparte.. "Poor Canning" was Lieut. -Colonel Charles Fox Canning, the duke's aide-de-camp throughout the Peninsue lar War and at Waterloo, and brother of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, VANISHING GOLD. What Is the Reason for Its Curious Elusiveness What becomes of gold? It is one of the oldest metals in hu- man use—there are gold beads dating back to the stone age. It is an ob- ject of almost universal desire. It is proof against almost all the in- fluences which destroy other metals, and it has been mined in enormous quantities, Yet to -day more than two-thirds of the gold in use has been dug since 1849. What becomes of the rest? Where is the gold that set Jason wandering into the Black Sea, that filled the treasures of Croesus, that paid the terrible tribute which Persian kings assessed against the Punjab? What has happened to the yellow dust and "electrum"—an alloy of gold and sil- ver --which negro traders brought down the Nile to Egypt for four or five thousand years ? .Ancient 'gold, like that of modern times, was used for money and for ornaments, but both have disappeared. Where? The most enduring of metals, and yet the most evanescent; perpetually` sought and yet constantly escaping the hands of even the successful seek- er—that is gold. What is the rea son for its curious elusiveness ? Tea in the Trenches. It is said that tea is the favorer beverage of the soldiers in th trenches. It is certain that tea i the most refreshing and sustaininf drink under the circumstances, and i has good warmth -giving qualities. I' is the first experience of tea for man3 of the soldiers, and the taste will un doubtedly spread when they returr to their homes after the war. In fact everything points to a greatly increas- ed consumption of tea all over the world, and as the supply is insuffi- cient to cope with it, the high prices now obtaining may. continue for some years. An Industrious Constable. In a small town the constable re- ceived by post six "Rogues' Gallery" photos of an old offender taken in dif- ferent positions. A fortnight later the constable sent this message to the city chief of police: "I have ar- rested five of the men and am going after the sixth to -night." Minard'e Liniment Cures Colds, Etc. . PAPER LIFEBOATS. A Life -Saving Craft Almost Immune to Wreck. A paper lifeboat that can be packed away in the space of about one cubic foot, but that, when inflated, is - sea- worthy and durable, is the invention of a retired admiral of the Japanese navy, says London Tit -Bits. The boat is Constructed from the Japanese paper called hashilrirazu, which is treated chemically to make it waterproof. The paper comes from the mulberry tree. It is •unusually dur- able, and possesses great strength when the stresses are in the direction of the fibre - A thin sheet of paper that is strong when stressed in any direction is made by pasting together two sheets with the fibres crossing at right angles. The first boat `that' the admiral made was merely a kind of large pillow with a depression. in the centre, the whole be- ing inflated with air. Because of the ease with which paper can be punc- tured, it was necessary to change the method of constriictioln, so several pipe -like bags" were made and placed side by slide in the form of a raft, and that raft finally modified to a craft something like a boat' in shape. The result is a life-saving craft al- most immune to wreck, for even if one or two of the pipes are punctured or broken, the boat still is "buoyant enough to be seaworthy. Owing to its strength and lightness, and its waterproof qualities, the hashi- kirazu paper is evidently adapted to a wide range of uses, among which are the making of coverings for aeroplane wings and for dirigible balloons.
