Mr. Wallace H. Grange, Vaneouver,
B.C., writes: "Daring a cold spell here
about the middle of list October (1913),
I caught a cold -which, got worse despite
all treatments I could obtain, until
about November 22nd, a friend said,
'Why not try Dr. Wood's Norway
Pine Syrup?' Really, I had no faith in
it at the time as I had tried nearly every
other remedy I had heard of, to no avail,
but 'l thought I would give thie last
remfdy a trial. I purchased a 50 ceut
bogie, and in three days I was feeling
n different man. My cold was so hard,
and the coughing so prolonged, that
vomiting occurred after a hard spell of
coughing. I carried the bottle in my
[ pocket, and every time I was seized with
A, coughing spell I would take a small dose.
I can most heartily recommend Dr.
Wood's Norway Pine Syrup to anyone
'With a severe cold, as its powers are most
marvelous, and 1 never intend being
without it at all times."

(Want Toast. --Make thin slices of
golden brown toast, crisp and dry.
Place the slice's in a wire sieve and
steam until' soft over hot water.
Then butter and put in a seep plate
—about three sliceS, mit in half.
Over them pone white sauce Make
this by heating aoupful of milk ia
double boiler and 'theu adding two
tablespoonfuls of flour rubbed into
two tables,poonfuls of butter. Cook
gently over a. low heat until the
flour ha.s lest its starchy taste. Sea-
son with salt and pepper and serve
very hot. Suoh a ,dish loses its ap-
petizing qualities if it is not hot
when served, so it should be care-
fully covered in transit from th6
kitchen to the room where it is to
be served.
Eggnog.—Beat the yolk of an egg
unti it is creamy and add a pinch of
salt. Then add enough milk to fill
a glass three-quarters full. Last,
add the white beaten stiff, and
sprinkle with grated nutmeg: This
is nourishing and, excepting in cases
where raw egg cannot be digested,
is easily assimilated.
Lamb Broth.—Lamb broth ca,n be
taken by almost every one. Here ia
a good recipe for making it. Have
a pound of the neck of lamb cut into
small pieces and put it in a. granite
or almuinum saucepan with two
cupfuls of cold w.ater for two hours.
Then bring it to the boiling point
and let: it cook just below the boil-
ing point. for !three hours. Strain
and season with salt. This could
easily be made in a fireless cooker.
Chieken Broth,—This can be made
in the same way as lamb broth. Use
the neck, the wings and the back of
chicken and reserve the other parts
Fur other uses. If rice can be
taken, a little rice, well boiled, can
be added to either chicken or lamb
broth.
Clam Broth.—Wash six clams and
put them in b kettle with half a, cup-
ful of eold water. Steam until they
have opened, strain and serve.
Clain bruth and beef broth may both
be frozen, just to the mush stage,
hnd then served in a sherbet glass.
A feverish patient often finds this
broth sherbet tempting.
Cornmeal Gruel.--AII gruels must
be thoroughly cooked, not very
thick, and free from lumps. Put
three tablespoonfuls of cornmeal
into a third of a cupful of cold wa-
ter, salt to taste, and then add two
cupfuls of boiling water. Boil 20
minutes, stirring constantly, or
else cook in a double boiler for an
hour.
Cracker Gruel.—Break a. soda
cracker or two, buttered thin, into
a cupful of boiling milk and cook,
stirring constantly, for three or
four minutes. Season with salt.
Oatmeal Gruel.—Cook half a cup-
ful of prepared oatmeal in a quart
of boiling, salted water. When the
rice is cooked to pieces, strain and
dilute to taste with hot milk.
Stewed Prunes and Figs.—Wash
prunes or figs to be stewed and then
'soak in cold water for ten hours.
Cook for half an hour in the sam.e
water, Sweeten slightly if neces-
sary.

A raw potato cut in half will clean
marks off black material. A black

After you have used all the ham
that will cut nicely from the bone,
and after chipping the remaining
meat for frizzled liana, boil the bone
with cabbage.
To inak.e shepherd's pie, cut boil-
ed beef into slices, season and

cover with mashed potatoes Or bis-
cuit crust and brown in the oven.
Use a paper diehrag. It is far
more sanitary than a cloth, is filen
and cleans we1I, One lasts for
about a month, can then be burned,
and another purchaeed in its place.
When making mush, do not thick-
en it too much or the mush will be
harsh and unpleasant to eat. Quit
thickening before you think it thick
enough and it will be about right.
Fats that are derived from the
000king of bacon, ham, chicken,
beef a,nd other meats, should be
kept, each in its own receptacle, to
be used for different purposes. '
Mashed potatoes, left over,
should be packed into a cup or bowl
until needed for frying. Another
way to use them is to put into a
double boiler with some warm milk.
To remove the odor of food from
a -wooden chopping bowl, soak the
bowl in boiling water in whioh a
little soda. is dissolved. Use a ta-
blespoonful of soda to a gallon of
water.
If a small piece of camphor is
placed in a, bowl or glass of water
it will be found to float on the sur-
face. and when lighted will prove a
good night light, especially as cam-
phor is a good disinfectant and its
smell isoaot at all disagreeable.

NAVIES', CASUALTIES.
Sea Fights More Destructive to Life
Than Formerly.
That the immense armies of to -day
make war more sanguinary than at
any other authentically recorded era
of the world's history is the consensus
of military expert opinion. Whether
the 'ratio of casualties to the number
engaged is higher than in the period
when the musket's range was 200
yards remains to be determined when
this war is over and there is oppor-
tunity to study the official returns of
the killed and wounded, but the loss
of life may be safely put down as ex-
ceeding the world's past experience
of war, tragic as that experience has
been. Modern war, which requires
armies of millions, may be expected to
slay its tens of thousands where war
as it was one hundred years ago was
contented with its hundreds.
What is true of war on land applies
to war at sea, although the hecatomb

battle as after one fought on terra

Lesson 11, Deborah and Barak De-
liver Israel.---Judg. 4,4-28;
Golden Text, P.Sa. 34,, 17.
Verse 4, The wife ,of Lappidothe—
Deborah was a married. woman. She
WaS a wife in the home, and, un-
doubtedly, the mother of children.
This is a very early evidence that
great leadershship in the state is
not inconsistent. with wifely and
motherly faithfulness and attention
to the duties of the home. Much
has been said about the partieulae
sphere of women with the implica-
tion that this sphere is the home
alone. No wife or mether has the
right to neglect either her husband
or her children, but woman's sphere
is any place of service. Whieh will
help the cause of humanity. This
was Deborah's sphere.
5. • Dwelt under the palnatree
Deborah betweea Ram:1h and Beth-
el in the hill -country of Ephraim.--
Beea.use of the ineursions of the
Canaa.nites, it was no longer safe
For the Isra-elites to have their seat
of godernment, as il were, or, ra-
ther, the place of judgment, in the
northeastern part of theie, borders,
and hence they went up into the
hill -country of Ephraim. The judges
sat in an open place, usually under
the gate of the city or in the mar-
ket -place, where many people could
be gathered together for,special an-
nouncements. "The . earliest seats
of Israel's worship, the earliest ral-
lies to her patriotism, were upon
Mount Ephraim" (George Adam
Smith).
6. And she sent and 'called Barak.
—Deborah saw very quickly what
the greatest need of 'mei was, and
she also diseovered that the time
was ripe for a decisive blow. So
she sent for the man on whom he
thought victory would rest. Barak
mobilized his troops on Mount Ta-
bor. Kedesh in Galilee is the, old,
important and very often mention-
ed city of the Old Testament. Re-
ferenee is made to it in the Tel el
Amarna letters and in the Egyptian
inscriptians. Other references in,
the Bible are Josh. 201".• 7; 21. 32.
The inhabitants in B.C. 734 were
captured and taken away by Tiglath
Pileser. Josephus says that the
city lay between Galilee and the
Tyrian border, and that it was in
the hands of the Tyria,ns'who were
continually fighting with the Israel -
it
7. The river Kishon.—This river'
flowed at the feat of Mount Carmel.
It was poetieally called "The evae
ters of Megiddo' (Judg. 5. 19). The
Kiska was a swift -flowing, turbu-
lent. stream. .-
8. Barak said, If thou wilt go with
me, then I will go; but if thou wilt
not go with me, I will not go.—It is
strange tbataa warrior, ueed to bat-
tle, should be afraid to go into the
eonfliet without the presence of a
woman who presumably knew noth-
ing about warfare.
9. And she said, I will surely go
with thee.—Doubtless there was
cousiderable argument between De-
borah and Barak before she finally
agreed to go.. She could not see
why Barak ought not to lead his
army to victory.
Notwithstanding, the joierney that
thou takest shall not be for thine
honor; for Jehovah will sell Sisera
into the hand of a woman—Debor-
ah calls attention to the fact that
Barak was less, great thanhe might
have been, and that, although he
would win the victory, it would net
be his victory; it '7'0, 11),d-wab-es r.lus ..m,s-piri-

10. And Barak called Zepulun and
Naphtali together to Kedesh.—
These tribes were very quickly
rallied, for we read that there went
up ten thousand men at his feet.
"At his, feet" is a very picturesque
expression to indicate the eager-
uess of the Israelites to follow the
call of Deborah and Barak. They
came in ,such'numbers and were so
ready for the fray that they virthal-
ly crowded round his feet;
11. Now Heberthe Kenite had se-
parated himself from the Kenites.—
This verse seems to be introduced
to show how it was that Sisera (see
verse 17) could flee away to, the tent
of Heber the Kenite for refuge.
12. And they told Sisera,.—The
news of the movements among the
Israelites was brought to Sisera in
Lis headquarters by his scouts.
• 73. Sisera gathered together all
his chariots, even nine hundred
chariots of iron.—These were the
awful implements used by the hea-
then people against the Israelites.
They swere instruments of tortuee.
As the fighting between the Israel-
ites and their enemies was hand-to-
hand conflict, it is readily seen how
terrible these iron thariots, which
were arranged with teeth and other
sharp protuberanees, appeared to
talferTlraeilitose'lleth of the Gentiles,
unto the river Kiehon.—This was
the far-flung battle line which Sica
era, threw out, reaching from Mount
Tabor over to Mount Cannel, al-
though it is evident that 'his forces
were massed at; the River Kiel/on.
14, And Deborah said unto' Be rale,
Up—Deborah was 'elose at the aide
of Barak, ae Barak evidently was
depending entirely uporeovee when she commands, His!

o

thousand Israelites after biro.
15. And Jehovah discomfited Site,
era, ---The Israelites were fighting
for Jehovah, they .evere fighting im-
mediately under his leadership.
When a 'battle, went in favor of the
Israelites, it wee because they be-
lieved Jehovah • discomfited. the
enemy. This further avidenees haw
close the tie was. .hetween the Ise
re,elites and their God, and how,
after all, the entire credit was
given to him,
With the edge of the sword.—As
already' 'etateel, the fighting of the
Israelites with their enemies wee

have been fierce in its context.
Sisera alighted froth his Chariot,
and fled away on his feete—Sisera,
evidently Was a coward. He left his
men to their own discomfiture, He
himself would flee to safety. This
fact relieves somewhat the awful-
ness of the =slime inSwhich he met
his deeth, _Shortly afterwardsat the
hands of a Woman (Judg. 17, 22).
16. But Barak pursued after the
chariots, and afters the hosts—Even
the eharriots were pot to conlesion,

could pursue the horses of the en-

Nicholaievitclawas at various times
promised to the -generals-and the
eoldiers as their eommander-in-

overtook them because the Czar
failed to keep that promise, actu-
ated by jealousy and fear of hie
cousin's popularity. At the close
of the ve5r the Russiancapital
swarmed with revolutionists., ready
to strike at a 'given signal. Chaos
reigned, and the vast machinery el
the police availed nothing. The
Czar was ready for flight .asad abdi-
