RAILWAY TILS FOR FIREWOOD.
Most RailwtTys Aro Willing to Make
Them Available.
It Is none too soon to take thought
as to the means for keeping warm
next winter. Lack of foresight in the
matter of securing fuel caused much
loss, suffering audiriaonvenience der-
iing the winter.just passed, and it
would be bordering on the criminal to
repeat the blunder. From the nature
of the situation, there can be no as-
surance of an adequate supply of coal
from the United States. At the same
time, the mines of Nova Scotia are
full% a probable falling off in pro-
duction for this year, coupled with a
marked increase id consumption in
the Maritime Provinces. Ontario
and a portion of Quebec should, there-
fore, seelo out every available eubsti-
tute.
One possible substitute that is cap-
able -of more general utilization is
worn-out railway ties. In many in-
stances in the past, these old ties
have been piled in heaps. along the
right-of-ways and burned. In the
average year, the New York Central
railroad destroys 1,750,000 old ties,
an amount estimated to be the equiva-
lent of 30,000 tons of coal. The N.Y.
C. company has given Instructions
that all old ties be made available for
fuel and it is obvious that the release
of such an amount of wood will be a
very important addition to the fuel
supplies of the area traversed by
their lines.
With a view to ascertaining what

'A SACRED ROAD.
Memorial of the War to be Built From
Flanders to Alsace.
Already the French Government has
decided on a.rnemorial that will worth-
ily represent to the ages to come the
grandeur and the horror of the world -
war. It is to take the.foom of a "sac-
red road" stretching four hundred
miles, from the coast of Flanders td
far Alsace, along the line on which
for three years and more the contend-
ing hosts have faced each other in
grim battle. Planted on each side
with forest trees, it is to grow year
by year, century by century, into an
undying and perpetual • monument
4/Mich Nature herself shall raise in
everlasting commemoration of the
war.
In the woods at either side the
countless heroes who have given their
lives for humanity will sleep their last
sleep in graves kept beautiful by ten-
der and grateful hands. Thus within
this long •and narrow woodland belt
will be preserved the whole majesty,
the whole terror, the sacrifice, and
abomination of war as a memorial
and a -lesson to the generations to
come,
Already preparations are I\ eing
made for the commencement of the
scheme. A Million young trees have
been collected, and when peace at last
comes to the weed, this sacred road
will spring quickly into being.

sometimes classed with water, tea and.

• Should Mothers Study?
Even in this day of senlightenmen

tions'as, "Should mothers take time t
study?" or, "Do mothers need t
study to accomplish their daily duties
in the best way?"
Need to study? To be sure. Most
urgently she needs to study, to think
to read, to meet with other mothers—
to do everything possible to learn the
best methods of keeping her children
well, happy and upright.
There is more and more geed infor-
mative reading prepared, by experts
for the mother's help. And manymothers,
mothers, but, unfortunately, not all
are taking advantage of such aids, It
is a well known fact that it is the
best 'educated and the most intelligent
mothers who feel the need of assist-
,
ance, and eagerly read everything
that offers new and helpful sugges-
tions.
Mothers'
meetings are doing much
to help by making possible the ex-

and purity of life, which mothers
could exchange with incalculable help
to each other,
The character and mental spiritual
life of the child is to be stimulated
and guided for many years almost
solely by theanother. Surely in her
effort to make the finest and best
'boys and girls; of her sons and daugh-
ters the mother needs every good
help.
Then it is the imperative duty of
mothers to study the best methods
of keeping the family healthy and
strong, and of stimulating the mind of
her child, directing its taste, and
training its morals.
When we realize how easily the ig-
norant mother may cause a child to
suffer all its life physically, we can
form some estimate of how easily the
neglect of thoughtful training may
cause it to suffer morally. 4
The hest mothers are taking time
to study, and by putting the home on
a working basis they find that thi
time can be taken without neglecting
the othei. duties. In truth, the mother
needs far more than the best train
ing. She needs that priceless sixth
sensa that will enable her to apply
her lemming to the actual conditions
of life.

By Order -in -Council No. 597 the
"wilful waste of any food or food pro-
ducts where such waste results from
carelessoess, or from the manner of
storage thereof, or is due to any other
avoidable 'cause, is prohibited."
If the Canada Food Board has rea-
son to believe that any food -stuff is
being stored and that it is likely to
become unfit for human ,consumption,
it may notify the owner to immediate-
ly sell or otherwise deal with it so
that no further loss of the commodity
may be involved. If this course is
not followed the Food Board may
seize the food and sell it, the loss to be
sustained by the owner.
s Again, the Board has the power
from time to time to make orders toe -
scribing the amount of any kind of
food that may be purchased or held,
irrespective of the purpose, and if the
amount is exceeded it may he seized
and sold. This law should make it
possible to prevent food which has
been stored too long from having to
be thrown out or destroyed.
It is now the duty of each med.
entity in Canada to enforce this re-
gulation within its municipal limits. .
Where conviction is obtained a fine

The warm day drew to a close. Sud-

Over the rise, across the canal, dim
figures appeared. There were scores
of them. They reeled and staggered

overhead. Up again and on, through
ditches, wire, over hedges that offer-
ed no shelter, men falling everywhere,
on they rushed. With a wild yell the
trench was reached. The firing broke
suddenly off. Grey figures darted
away through the trees, Those who
remained were simply killed in pass-
ing. On into and through the wood
went the Canadians.
The place was won. The Germans
had been removed,
The wood was wide and the under-
growth thick in places. From the left
broke out ii heavy rifle fire. The bul-

Canadians he.ssaed them not, 'They

Then commenced a day of horror.

In a time needing food economy many people are not
getting all the nourishment they might from their food.
It is not how much you eat, but how much you assim-
ilate, that does you good.
The addition of a small teaspoonful of Bovril
to the diet as a peptogenic before meals leads
to more thorough digestion and assimilation
and thus saves food, for you need less.
