"By morning air altitude of nearly 6,000 feet was reached, and a transi- tion front the excessive heat and mois- ture of the lowlands was experienced that was most grateful and exhilarat- ing, 'This section still abounds with ante- lope, elephants, lions and other large game which find excellent cover hi the tall eleihant grass or the dense forests and jungles, while in the river hippos still gambol and flounder in ungainly herons awl the floating islands of rank vegetation of Nile reeds and papyrus.

"Early in the morning of the third day we were suddenly awakened by the guard and treated to a scene of beauty never to be forgotten. Some ton miles distant five enormous columns or vapor were shooting their roseate -tinted shafts hundreds of feet heavenwards, while the faint roar of the galls told up the Mosioa-Tunga— the smoke that sounds—was no long er a mystery. ^Each moment increased the beauty and vividness of the scene. With the first rays of the rising sun came a pic- ture of color of wondrous loveliness, It shot higher and higher, ultimately disappearing as virgin clouds in heaven, while the ever-increasing thunders of the waters lend an added solemnity to the view. Contrast With Niagara Falls. you are ailing, easily tired, or depress- ed, it is a duty you owe yourself and your family to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial. What this medicine has done for others it will surely do for you. It Has Coale True. As Jerusalem, previous to being cap- tured by the British in December,. 1917, had been under Turkish misrule for four hundred years, it was thought by the natives of Palestine it would forever remain in the )lands of the Turks. Hence tine old saying common ameegst the inhabitants of the Holy Land, which runs: When the waters of the Nile flow into Palestine the Turk will be ousted from Jerusalem." As geography tells us this is impos- sible, it is interesting to know it act- ually did happen. What seemed im- possible was effected by the Engineers of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force. After overcoming great difficulties, they succeeded in laying a largo water Pipe across the bed of the Suez Canal near Kentaro. Through this pipe flows water from the River Nile. The water eventually finds its way through the Sinai. Desert and into Palestine. Thus it camp to pass Jerusalem was taken Ivo months after "the waters of the Nile flowed into Palestine." "Hardly could we wait to reach our destination, so great was our enthusi- asm. But our hopes were doomed to momentary disappointment, only to be more than realized after a study of the environment; for, notwith- standing their magnitude, the first view of Victoria Falls is decidedly dis- appointing, "Although nearly a mile in width and 400 feet in length, the grandeur of their proportions is eclipsed by the sudden disappearance of the river, as it plunges into a narrow, rocky fissure extending across its entire width. Only at 'a single central point is there a breach in this fissure through which the Falls can be seen and appreciated in their full proportions, where the converging waters rush madly to the zigzag canyon below. So restricted is this view that there is an entire ab- sence of that awe-inspiring and al- most paralyzing effect which strikes the visitor dumb with wonder and amaloment when Niagara bursts on his near vision. On first sight of the Victoria Falls one involuntarily ex- claims, 'Ohs how beautiful!' but they leek the majesty of our grand Niaga- ra. No single visit can adequately re- veal the fullness of their charms, but repeated excursions must be made to their islands and precipices, their grot- tos and paha gardens, their rail for- gists and projecting crags, their rain- bows and oataragsts and many-sided views bf their exquisite setting in the emerald frame -work of tropic forests, before their indescribable beauty can he appreciated, The fascination of discovering new and hidden charms from different points of view grows on the visitor and becomes one of the greatest attractions. "Had the Falls been in America, the Indians would surely have named them Mim10110ha, Laughing Water; for like a coy maldon are:their fascinations, half concealing, half betraying. their beauties, and requiring much wooing before revealing all their loveliness of 1110100 trCtioure1 and charm," One cultivation a week is generally Sufficient to keep the weeds down.

CHILDHHOD CI NSTIPATION Constipated children can find prompt relief through the use of Baby's Own Tablets. The Tablets are mild but a thorough laxative which never fail to regulate the bowels and stomach, thus driving out constipation and in- digestion; colds and simple fevers. Concerning them Mrs, Gaspard Daigle, Demain, Quo., writes: "Baby's Own Tablets have been of great benefit to my little boy, who was suffering from constipation and indigestion. They quickly relieved him and now he is in the best of health:' The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 26 cents a bix front The Dl•, Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont, Three Fashionable Models l t 8882 8886 8868 Transfer neelgn Nn.

All legi's'lation and regilations enacted or issued by Dominion, provin- cial or municipal authorities dealing with fire prevention be given publicity by the municipal officials, and that by public meetings or otherwise as may to them seem most fit, they endeavor to impress upon the citizens the na- tional importance of,, safeguarding life and property from loss by fire. MOLASSES IN THE RATION. There is quite an interest displayed by breeders and dairymen all over this country in molasses as supplementary feed. There is no question but that its use on the farm is spreading in such proportion as to make it in- teresting for our readers to know something about the feeding value of molasses, its effect on the live stock, etc. First of all, it must be borne in mind that molassesemay be divided into as many classes as hay. 'Simply to say molasses is not saying much. There seems to be very little of beet molas- ses used in straight form as a feed for live stock as in the case of sugar cane molasses. It seems thtit beet molas- ses contains too much ash, and it acts as a purgative. There Is also sugar cane molasses which does not quite come up to standard of a feeding mo- lasses. There is the re -boiled molas- ses with a good deal of sugar extract- ed. There is the domestic molasses with sulphur dioxide marked on bar- rel. It seems that the safest molasses is the original pure sugar cane molas- ses. A good molasses should test 52 per cent. sugars and not over 6 per cent, ash. The flavor of the molasses is also important. It may often hap- pen that the same testing molasses is not the same tasting. It would seem that the most im- portant use of sugar cane molasses is in connection with the disposal of roughage on the farm. It is surely the most practicable way of making feeds palatable and digestible. The usual method is to thin the molasses with water so that it runs as freely as cream and to pour it over dry corn fodder, straw, old hay, etc. A sprink- lingnan with the holes enlarged, often proves very handy. Some find it well to grind up their roughage and mix the molasses with roughage and grains. This is the best method, for, besides the grains which may be subs- tituted pound for pound to that of � molasses, the roughage also replaces much of the grain. Of course the handling of molasses is different from that of other feeds and for that reason a number of live stock owners refused to feed it, but those who are aware what benefits can be derived through, the judicial fe0ilin1! of molasses will soon find a convenient method of feeding it, and will not be 'without 1t. About three pounds a day is the average amount prescribed for cows. Horses are fed from 2 to 6 pounds per day according to the amount of energy or work required from them, Swine benefit on % pound per day per 100 lbs. of live weight. Calves are fed from Sito 1 cupful per day. A good molasses will please the animal and make it more at for maxi- mum production whether it be flesh or work. It will keep the bowels in good order and prevent ailments due to indigestion, It 10001(ces a sleek coat.

Among the pages of Canada's his- tory that will tell the story of sacri- fice and devotion so remarkably de- monstrated by young Canadians in the World War, none will illustrate 111oee clearly the spirit of Canada than those devoted to the sacrifices made by men and women who were formerly students at the Unlversltj- of Toronto. Deeds of heroism on their part are not to be recorded here, but It is well known that they played their part fearlessly and well. To perpetuate the memory of the Varsity men and women who died in defence oC civilization during the Great War it is proposed to erect a Physical Memorial, and also to es- tablish sdholarships and a War Memorial Lectureship. A memorial tower built in architectural harmony with the surrounding buildings, con- taining a beautiful chime of bells, will connect the west wing of tho Univer- sity of Toronto with Hart House, the magnificent new gynmasium and students' union, the centre of under- graduate Iife in the university. Ad- joining the -tower will be a memorial hall, and in it the names of all stu- dents and former students wino served in the war 1\111 be recorded in a worthy setting. The establishment of the scholar- ships, however, will take the larger portion of the $500,000 to be secure(!. These will be apportioned arming the different faculties for the aid of those returned soldier -students and their children who are in need of help, and will be given to soldiers who were alumni and to their dependents. Loans will also be male to soldier - students who could not otherwise com- plete their education. The decision to use the fonds in this way was reached after a thorough canvass was made throughout Canada. Every graduate and former student is to have the opportunity of contribu- ting to the fund. As far as possible the canvass will be by personal solid- tation. In some centres this has been started and in others it about to be undertaken. By the latter part of October the campaign will, it is hoped, be in operation throughout the world and will have became the biggest thing of its kind ever attempted, having re- gard to the extent of the field to be covered. In Ontario the county unit will be used and organization along these lines is proceeding rapidly. The county canvass will centre in logical places and in this way it is hoped to reach practically every graduate and termer student, Counties and local communities have the privilege of establishing a scholar- ship for their own students provided that a sufficient amount is raised.

Every grower of vegetables should make an effort to select some speci- men vegetable plant from the crop and mark it especially for seed pur- poses, In England and .nuance it is a general practice among growers and small holders to save some seed. Seed taken from the best specimens will generally give a good percentage of yield the following year. Some species of vegetabl''e will not pro- duce seed 1n Canada as the seasons are too short and nnturity cannot come to perfeetiot, but carrot, pars- nip, lettuce, peas, beans, reddish, qUnsh, 00111, marrow, pumpkin, onions, can bo relied upgn if the geed is selected from the first crown and not the latest seed vessels.

It is a sticky ether compound which dries the moment it is applied and simply shrivels the corn without in- flaming or even irritating the surround. ing tissue or skin. It is claimed that a quarter of an ounce of freezone will cost very little at any of the drug stores, but is sufficient to rid one's feet of every hard or soft corn or callus.
