to France to be added to the appliances
which are now being used to convey the
wounded from the field.

nize the Canadians at the front, in a
manner befitting the loyal desires of the
citizens. A base hospital, holding 1,000
beds and set aside for the use of the

WHAT ONTARIO WILL DO.
(Toronto Star)
The Ontario Government having sold
bonds against the mill on the dollar war
tax and, after paying the $800,000 ex-
pended in advance. having well over a
million dollars of this war money as
cash in hand, has decided to expend a
considerable part of it in. establishing
and maintaining a group of cottage hos-
pitals at Cliveden in England for the use
of Canadian soldiers. and especially for
men from Ontario.
It is proposed that buildings shall be
erected at a cost of- bout $100,000 to
accommodate one thousand patients,
and estimating the cost of maintenance
at one dollar per day per patient, the
up -keep would be $365,000 for the year.
It is proposed also to furnish six motor
ambulances for field service with our
troops in France.
As the Province has in hand a special
war fund of $1,000,000 or $1,200,000,
these expenditures can be made and
leave a considerable balance. But as
the hospital work proceeds it may be-
come advisable to enlarge the scope of
it. The sum of $120,000 is also to be de-
voted to the worthy object of Belgian
relief.
The main point is that there appears
to be an urgent need for the hospital
accommodation that the Ontario Govern-
ment has .decided to provide. The
casualties are very heavy. The hospital
resources of the allies in the field and
of Great Britain are being over -taxed.
Some days ago we supported the sug-
gestion that the Provincial Government,
with the special war fund in hand,
ought to raise and equip an infantry
brigade for service at the front, and
while that would have been a useful
service, it must be admitted that no
work is of greaterimportance than that
which the Government has determined
to do. No doubt the decision was
reached after consultation with the
authorities at Ottawa and in England.
Not only are more hospitals badly
needed in England with the best of
doctors and nurses, but it is of im-
portance that our invalided men shall
be so placed that they will' be surround-
ed by their own people and, as far as
possible, in their home atmosphere.
The American people regret that the
German Government's answer fails
wholly to meet the main points at issue,
both the specific point of the slaughter
of American citizens of the Lusitania
and the general point of the "impos-
sibility of employing submarines, in the
destruction of commerce without disre-
gardingrules of fairness, reason, justice
and humanity," the established prin-
ciples of international law. It is not
any of our business what Germany
does to England or England does to
Germany. What we are concerned
about is what each does to American
citizens lawfully traversing the public
highway of the seas. We have scores
to settle with both England and Ger-
many. We will settle each on its
merits. We cannot permit either to be
involved with or become dependant on
the other.—Chicago Herald.

By their proceedings of the last few
weeks, the Germans have made it ;clear
to all the allied countries and to Most
of the neutral countries, that no toler-
able life is to be secured for any of
them, except by fighting this ''war
through to d finish, which disarms,Cer-
many and renders her powerless for
mischief. A peace founded on the tri-
umph of German principles would have
nothing to commend it as an alternative
to war, and could be nothing more than
a dangerous truce requiring an expen-
diture on the scale of war. We would
be living in a world where law ,and
treaty were of no account, where cun-
ning and cruelty were established as
the law of nations, where peace would
be only a pause for digestion between
the finish of one meal and the begin-
ning of the next on the part of the
European superman. — Westminster
Gazette.
For the good name of Manitoba—al-
ready so badly tarnished by Roblin -
Rogers methods it is well to have the
ugly rumors set at rest. This bas been
effectually done by statements. by
Premier Norris and ex -Premier Roblin,
both of whom have stated most em-
phatically that there was no deal of any
kind whatever, and Sir Redmond Roblin
is authority for the statement that the
action of himself and his Ministers was
purely voluntary on their part. And
Premier Norris has stated that the in-
vestigation into the Parliament build-
ings contract w'll go on, and all the
facts exposed; that the guilty will be
punished and made to return to the
people of Manitoba every dollar wrong-
fully taken from them. —Regina Leader.
The W. C. T. U. is urging, through a
petition placed in the hands of Premier
Borden, that alcoholic beverages be
banished from Canadian canteens and
messes in Great Britain, and not given
to the soldiers in thetrenches.
Through lack of public interest, two
important by-laws in Stratford failed
to be carried, though receiving con-
siderable majorities in favor: one was
to wipe out the General Hospital debt,
the other an industrial proposal.
ARE YOU HELPING?
A FINE COMPLEXION
May Be BA Through the Rich,
Red Blood Dr. Williams'Pink
Pills Actually Make,
A girl's cornplexion is something more
than a matter to concern,her vanity..
It is an indication of the state of her
health. Pallor in a growing girl means
a thinning of the blood. Parents should
be watchful of their daughters' com-
plexions and should see to it that these
danger signs are corrected. When a
girl in her teens becomes pale and sal-
low, if she shows an inclination to tire
easily, is listless and inattentive to her
work or studies, she needs Dr, Williams'
Pink Pills, a tonic which directly and
specifically corrects the condition from
which she is suffering. A chemical
analysis of the blood of such a girl
would show it to be deficient in just the,
elements that Dr. Williams' Pink PI
can supply, and which restore brigh ess
to the eyes and color to the eeks.
Miss Deltna. Arsenault, Urbai ' ills, P.
E. I., is one of the thousandsanaemic
girls restored to 'health . , the use of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills r he says: ",

such a miserable e, ion that I had Lo
consult a doctor, :+ was under his care
for several months, but without getting
better. I was' growing thinner every
day, had dark .circles around the eyes.
1 could hardly sleep at night, but tossed
restlessly and got up in the morning
with black anticipation of the day's
miseriesbefore me. I was always
bothered with headaches and pains in
the back and limbs. My appetite was
poor and I frequently vomited what I
did eat. My friends feared thatI would
not recover. I had often seen Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills advertised and finally
decided to try them. I used altogether
nine boxes and they made me as well as
ever I was in ` my life. All the pains
and aches disappeared; my appetite re-
turned, I could sleep soundly at night,
and the color returned to my cheeks.
I also gained seventeen pounds in weight.
I am now always well, and for this
happy condition` I. have to thank Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills."

dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents

VALUE TO THE STATE.
To the Editor—
Sir Victor Horsley says, "The tee-
totaller is worth much more to the
State than is the. moderate drinker.
The teetotaller by his total abstinence
is already doing much more for the
State than does the moderate drinker
and more than that he is doing his
country's work under the irritating
knowledge that much of his contribu-
tions to the national purse are wasted
caring for the mischief caused by the
drinkers. At the present time we have
great need for men sole to work for
their country at their maximal ef-
ficiency whether at the front or at
home. Only the teetotallers among
them can fulfill this national and
patriotic requirement since their vitality
is not weakened by alcohol."
"Diet the teetotallers contribution to
the State is far greater than that of the
moderate drinker is shown by several
facts, the most important of which is
that the total abstainer at thirty years
of age gives to his country six years of
useful life more than his fellow citizen
who supports the drink traffic; secondly
�— that the teetotaller is twice as healthy
as the moderate drinker for he suffers
from only half the sickness of the
latter,"
MINOR. ' LOCALS.
HOW SHOT ARE MADE,
And Why the Pure Lead Has to Be
Tempered With Tin.
The manufacture of shot, described
by 0. C. Horn in Forest and Stream.
requires a high tower, a perforated' pan.
a tank of water and "tempered" lead.
Shot are made by dropping molten
lead from a high point to the earth
The lead forms into globules just as
the raindrops do when they fall front
the' clouds. Ordinarily we do not real-
ize that raindrops are little spheres,
but under the proper conditions they
freeze, and we have hailstones, which
may be called shot made of ice.
In the making of shot pure lead is
melted and mixed with a "temper"
that consists mainly of tin, and then
poured into a perforated pan or sieve.
The perforations vary according to
the size of the shot to be made.
A temper is mixed with the lead in
order to make the giobnles form when
the lead falls. If pure lead were used
it would fall in the form of little bars
instead of round shot'
In order that the globules may have
plenty of time to form the lead must
fall a long distance, and so towers are
built. The towers used to be made as
high as 200 feet and even more, but
modern towers are rarely over 150 feet.
The perforated pan into which 'the
molten lead is poured is at the top of
the tower, and the globules of lead fall
through the perforations into tanks of
water at the bottom of the tower. The
water cools them and also prevents
them from flattening out, as they
would if they fell on n solid floor.
From the water the shot go to steam
driers. After drying the perfect shot
are separated 'from the imperfect by
means of glass tables inclined enough
ea that the shot' when poured on at one
end of the table, will roll to the other
end. At the farther end of the table
are two gutters side by side. The im-
perfect shot roll slowly and with diffi-
culty, so that they have not enough
momentum to carry them beyond the
first gutter. The perfectly round shot
roll easily and swiftly, and when they
reach the foot of the table they jump
nimbly across the first gutter and land
in the second.
After separation the perfect shot are
polished by rolling in plumbago, and
workmen 'then put them in bags for
shipment or send them direct to the
cartridge filling department to be load-
ed into shells.

WHY_YOU ARE NERVOUS
The,nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's Eniui-
sion is exactly what yon should take; its
rich nutriment getsinto the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve -cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh•
ing tonic force. Itree from harmful thugs.

HATS MADE AT NIGHT. '
Sunshine Makes the Straw For Pana-
mac Too Brittle to Work.
Genuine . Panama bats are made in
Ecuador to a larger extent than in any
other country, and the process of man-
ufacture is still not generally known.
The chief centers of the htit industry
in the order of their importance are
Monticristi and Jipfjapa, in the prowa
ince of Manavi; Santa Rosa and to a
limited extent in Guayaquil and Cu-
encs. Thousands of natives of both
sexes are employed at weaving these
hats. The work is carried on from a
little after midnight to 7 o'clock in the
morning, while the atmosphere is hu-
mid, for the straw becomes brittle dur
ing the day and cannot then be han-
dle&
After much preliminary preparation
the straw is very finely divided into
the required widths by the nail of the'
little finger or thumb. A. bunch of
straw is bound in the middle and plac-
ed ,on the center of a wooden mold,
the straws arranged radially and equal-
ly distant from each other in pairs. •
The plaiting begins at the apex of the
crown and continues round and round
until the hat is finished, care being
taken that no straws are added while
the crown is being made. Other
straws, however, are added while the
brim and border are being formed. On
the degree of nicety with which the
straws are lengthened depends the
beauty and durability of the hat.
Should a strand be broken it can be re-
placed and so plaited as not to be no-
ticed.
The finishing touches are put on by
trimming the brim, edging the border
and neatly fastening all projecting
ends of the straws so as to be invisi-
ble. The hat is washed in clean, cold
water, coated with a thin solution ot•
gum and polished with dry sulphur.—
Argonaut.

Venetian Coffee.
In the year 1591 a Venetian doctor
introduced coffee berries from Egypt,
taught his countrymen how to crush
them and brew the beverage, and the
use of coffee soon became general—so
much so, in fact. that Venice was full
of coffee houses where the people idled
away their days drinking the aromatic
beverage. A peculiarity of the Vene-
tian coffee houses was that their pa-
trons did not pay for each cup of cof-
fee they drank, but settled their bills
for all the coffee consumed at the end
of each year. The regular price of a
cup of coffee was 5 soldi, about 2%
cents.
