(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.

VArtsfioNE, Wingham. i; 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 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." You can get these Pills from any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

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. — Big celebration in Wingham on Dominion Day. — Officer Phippen has.sold his beauti- ful parrot. to Mr. D.

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.

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. v v v v v vv v v v v vv v v »»>»»>»CCCGCC< < CH TO BI I4N6ID MIME JULY psi n the Thousand rolls of Wall Paper having most up-to-date designs suitablet for every room in a person's house.

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. Drawing Houses. "I hear your son is achieving great success in his stage career."
