SO BAD COULD
OT SIT UP
Attacks of cholera morbus are caused
mostly by indiscretion in diet, •the use
of unripe fruit and new vegetables, and
usually occur during the hot summer
-b- months.
On the first sign of this very weakening
trotcbtDr. Fowler's Extract of Wild
Strawli ry should be taken.
Mrs. George Lee,Ruthven, Out,
writes: "I was taken with cholera
morbus, and I was so bad I could not
sit up any more than five minutes at a
time. My husband said I looked as if I
had been sick a month; he got me a
bottle of Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild
Strawberry, and I took the whole of it
in one day, and it completely cured me.
We are never without it in the: house for
I don't think it can be beat,"
When you ask for Dr. Fowler's Extract
of Wild Strawberry see that you get " Dr.
Fowler's," as imitators have gone so far
as to imitate our wrapper both in color
and style, and have adopted, eimiwlar
names, such as Strawberry Compound,
Wild Strawberry Compound, Extract of
Strawberry, etc,
"Dr. Fowler's" has been on the market
for the past 70 ye,t.rs, and is acknowledged
by all who have used it to be a sure cure
for all bowel complaints.

Refreshing Summer Drinks.
A cool, refreshing drink makes the
hottest summer day seem, if not cool,
at least less warm;; and there are
many kinds of summer drinks besideee
the well-known iced tea and iced co
fee, Here are some of the best or•
them
Fruit lunch.—Mix together one
cupful each of water and sugar, boil
them ten minutes, and skim the syrup
carefully, Add one cupful of hot,
strained tea, one cupful of any fruit
juice that you prefer, and the juice of
Ave lemons and"six oranges. Add suf-
ficient water to make a gallon, and
serve it ice-cold,
Ginger Ale,—Put one quart of chip-
ped ice into a gallon jug, add one
pound of sugar and one tablespoonful
of strong ginger, and shake the mix-
ture well together. Add one pint of
good cider vinegar, and fill the jug
with water. Keep it on ice until it
is very cold.
Raspberry Vinegar. -- Pour two
quarts of vinegar over four quarts of
raspberries. Cover it, and put it in
a cool place for two days. Strain the
juice through cheesecloth, and pour
it,over four quarts of fresh berries.
Set the mixture aside .again for two

the liquid until it is clear; then boil it
twenty, minutes, Seal it in sterilized
bottles. When you serve it, use two
tablespoonfuls of the syrup to a
glass of ice water. It is a most re-
freshing drink on a hot day, and will
keep for years.
An Egg Drink.—Beat three eggs
thoroughly, and six tablespoonfuls of
sugar, and one and one-half cupfuls
of ice water. Whip into the mixture
the juice of one orange and a small
amount of the grated rind. Serve it
in glasses topped with whipped cream.
Grape Cordial.—To one quart of
rich, unsweetened grape juice add one-
quarter of a cupful each of cold wa-
ter and sugar syrup, and one-half of
a teaspoonful of grated nutmeg. Just
before you serve the drinkfill the
glasses two-thirds full of crushed ice,
and pour the cordial over it.
Currant Shrub. -Heat two quarts
of ripe currants, and strain the juice
through cheesecloth, To every quart
of juice add three-quarters of a pound
of sugar, and stir the syrup until the
sugar dissolves. Add the juice of one
lemon, and enough cold water to di-
lute the syrup. When it is cold, pour
it over cracked ice, and ornament each
glass with a slice of lemon or a bunch
of ripe currants.
Mint Sherbet.—Wash the mint
thoroughly, then crush it and bruise
it well, and add a pint of boiling wa-
ter; let the infusion stand for twenty
minutes, strain it carefully, add a cup-
ful of sugar, and let the whole boil
for ten minutes. When you take it
from the fire, add the juice of three
oranges and a cupful of pineapple
syrup. Put the liquid into a freezer,
and when it is' partly frozen add the
stiffly beaten whites of two eggs.
Freeze it again to the consistency of
mush. Serve it in sherbet glasses,
with shredded cocoanut sprinkled
lightly on the top.
Lemon Mint.—Wash the mint well,
and pick off a large cupful of leaves.
Put them into a stone jar with one
quart of chopped ice,` Stir the mixture'
until the leaves are thoroughly bruis-
ed and the flavor is extracted. Strain
off the water, and add the juice of
two oranges and. six lemons, and one
pint of sugar. Put it on ice and when
it is thoroughly cold serve it in tall,
GERMANY BUILDING WARSHIPS
The Final Sea Battle Will Assume
Great Proportions.
The fighting strength of the Ger-
man navy at the present time can
only be a matter of conjecture, while
its power of expansion has been the
subject of considerable speculation,
says the Liverpool Journal of Com-
merce.
To her battle squadrons the enemy
will undoubtedly have added the
Kronprinz, which was laid down at
Kiel in the middle of 1912; while the
battle cruisers Luitzow, Launched at
Dantzic near the end of 1913, and the
Ersatz Hertha, laid down in the same
year, will certainly have joined the
waiting battle cruiser squadron by
this time.
The best known of the new ships
under construction are the Ersatz
Worth and the "T," both commenced
early in 1914. These vessels are ap-
proximately of 28,000 tons displace-
ment and mount eight 15 -inch guns.
Compaeld with the Queen Elizabeth
class thycarry the same armament
much more efficiently protected, but
at an inferior speed. '
The German fleet is most likely to
- - ght when the land campaigns have
gone so badly for her that a master
stroke is necessary in order to re-
trieve the situation. When that state
of affairs will arrive is, at the mo-
ment, beyond mortal. knowledge. Many
critics still anticipate that another
winter campaign will not be necessary
but this view appears to err on the
optimistic side, and if we neglect it
and assume that 18 months of war is
a practical possibility, then the Ger-
man navy is likely to .prove,a much
more powerful argument than it is at
present.
Early in the war the superior value
of the battle cruiser was emphatical-
ly demonstrated, and if the big ship
facilities of the German yards were
concentrated on rushing out this class
of ship the squadron would be imme-
diately strengthened. Firms such Its
the Germania' at Kiel, Blohm and
Voss and the Vulcan Company at
Hamburg, and the Schichau yard at thin glasses, with a sprig of fresh
Dantzic, could probably between them mint' and a very thin slice of lemon

Lemonade for a Week.—Boil to-
gather two quarts of water and four
complete seven or eight battle cruis-
ers by the end of next spring, when
the Germans would have available
something like 20 dreadnoughts and ,cupfuls of sugar for ten minutes. Re -
15 battle cruisers.
The above figures can only, of
course,*be quite general, but they
serve to indicate that if the final sea
battle be postponed till next year
the tussle is likely to assume propor-
tions hitherto undreamed of, and far
beyond the general imagination.

Mrs. Ages Gallant, Reserve Mines,
N.S., writes: "I take great pleasure in

move the syrup from the fire, and add
four and one-half cupfuls of lemon
juice. Let the mixture cool, then seal
it in glass jars and put it in a cool
place. When you want to make lemon-
ade, dilute a little of the syrup with
ice water.
Lime Punch.—Put eight cubes of
sugar in a bowl and pour over them
the juice of two limes and two
oranges. Add one and one-half cup-
fuls of coldwater, and when the su-
gar is melted, chill the syrup with
cracked ice. Just before serving it

Many kinds of cookies can be made

Corn bread can be made with sour
milk in this way: Sift a cupful of
cornmeal with half a cupful of flour,
half a teaspoonful of salt, a table-
spoonful of sugar. Then rub in a
tablespoonful of shortening (clear
chicken fat that has been fried out is
a good kind) and then add a cupful of

Pattern No. 8934 is also a Misses'
dress, consisting of a shirt -waist and
skirt. The waist opens in front and
has pointed collar and full-length or
shorter sleeves. The front of waist
is pleated to the back, which extends
over shoulder in yoke effect. The
four -gored skirt has slightly raised
waistline. The pattern cuts in sizes

Eugene at once gathered the dipla-

weeks the congress made no progress
because the representatives could not
agree as to their proper positions in
the council hall. That the represen-
