THIS THEFT WON A MEDAL.
British Officer Stole Over a Ton of
Germans' Explosives.
News reached Blackburn, England,
recently, that Lieut. W. Cooper,: an
old Blackburn amateur footballer, has
been decorated at the front with the
Military Cross for an act of remark-
able coolness and resource,
He was driving a mine 192 yards
long under the German position, and
had got within a few yards of his ob-
jective, when he broke into a German
mine crammed with high explosives.
For a moment ho thought his party
were doomed, brit he quickly cut the
wires leading to the German trenches,
and sending back for help proceeded
to carry away the enemy's explosives
piecemeal.
As the tunnel was very low, he and
his men lay head to feet and passed
the stuff -back from hand to hand.
The task occupied twelve hours, there
being one ton and a half of explo-
sives.
No mishap occurred, but five of
Lieut. Cooper's men were rendered
unconscious by fumes, and four of
them received the ACM. for their
share in this remarkable feat..
WOMEN REPLACE MEN.
200 Women Clerke in the Bank of
England.
The very sanctum of British con-
servatism, the Bank of England, has
been invaded by women clerks. More
than 200 of them are now employed
in the bank in various forms of cleri-
cal work. While ft is the war that
gave women the opportunity of re-
placing men of military age, it is also
tear that created additional work at
the bank through the war loan busi-
ness.
Women have been employed in the
bank of England in the humble note -
sorting capacity since 1895, but they
had never before done clerical work.
They often put in as much as 12
hours a day.

its former prejudice against women,

FEED CHILDREN
Ott Properly Selected Food, It Pays
Big Dividends.
If parents will give just'a little in-
telligent <thought ' to the feeding of
their children the difference in the
health of the little folks will pay,
many times over, for the small trou-
ble.
A mother writes: "Our children aro
all so much better and stronger than
they ever were before we made a
change in the character of the food.
We have quit using potatoes three
times a day with coffee and so much
meat,
"Now we give the little folks some
fruit, either fresh, stewed, or canned,
some Grape -Nuts with cream, occa-
sionally some soft-boiled eggs, and
some Postum tor breakfast and sup-
per. Then for dinner they have some
meat and vegetables.
"It would' be bard to fully describe
the change in the children, they have
grown so sturdy and strong, and we
attribute this change to the food ele-
ments that, I understand, exist in
Grape -Nuts and Postum,
"A short time ago , my baby was

mach and bowel trouble. Nothing

"At the time of the Romans," he

Apart
from

-Fears of Extermination.
While the treatment of the Arme-
ians is particularly brutal, it is said
he fate of all Christians and non -
Turkish' inhabitants is little better.
While the orders of commanders may
ave been reasonable humane, the ex-
cution of them by subordinates is
aid to have been harsh,
"The panic in the city was terrible,"
ays one correspondent, referring to
e effect of a deportation order. "The
eople felt the government was deter-
ined to exterminate the Armenian
ce and they were powerless to re-
st. Many of the convicts in the
rison had been released,'and the
ountains all around were full of.

laughter at his absurd predicament. A pori

was broken.
The fracture was mistaken for a
brain and was not set, and during
the prolonged. pain and weakness that
ensued the boy took to using his left'
hand and arm. He became fairly
ambidextrous; and in after years, ap-
preciating the value:of complete am-
bidexterity in his profession, he work-
ed almost wholly with his left hand
while teaching and studying anatomy.
He was finally able, in performing
an operation however delicate, to use
whichever hand' was more convenient
or useful, without thinking whether it
were right or left.

TO THE MOTHERS OF CANADA,
Appeal for Greater Precautions in the
Use of Matches.
No fewer than 683 fires, one million
and a half dollars damage to property
and the loss of thirty-eight lives oc-
curred during the year 1914 as the
direct result of children playing with
matches.
Matches should, therefore, receive?
attention as e danger of primary im-
portance. Keep the matches away
from the children. Place'thern on a
high shelf far out of their reach, for
they love to play with fire, and
matches forth an ideal toy from, their
point of view.
If it were only possible to convey
in its horrid detail the account of the
fires in Canada where thirty-eight.
children lost their: lives, the excite-
ment and nervous tension, the loss of
property, the anguish of parents, the
pain of the little child, some measure
of reform might soon be"effected.
Mothers should ever after guard'
their children against matches, as,
they would protect them against a
terrible and menacing enemy.,
Forest Protection Methods.
One of the most important features
n connection with the control of for-
est fires is their 'prompt discovery,
us rendering it possible - in most
cases to 'extinguish the fire in 'an in-
cipient stage, at small expense and
with slight damage. One of, the re-
nt developments in this work is the
se of a hydro -aeroplane for the dis-
overy of fires in the forest reserves

ake region, and excellent results have

NEW AERIAL TORPEDO. °
Uncanny Device
Yto'bel7mtoe
Employed b.
the
Y
Y
Germans.
The fear of overwhelming attacks
from the air, which prevailed' among
the allied nations at the outbreak of
the war and until recently, when the
comparative ineffectiveness of the
Zeppelins seemed demonstrated, is
Likely to be revived and the terrifying
power of these monster' airships
fully realized if the reports relating
to the new aerial torpedo perfected by
the Germans prove to be true, says
Popular. Mechanics.
The accounts of the operation of
these torpedoes read like the fantastic
tales with his tireless striving for the
accomplishment which readers were
regaled before the great war became a
reality. In many respects the tor-
pedo resembles a submarine torpedo
and is said to possess all its de-
structive power. It is equipped with
a delicate wireless apparatus that
controls its propelling and steering t
mechanism, and through this every
movement of the torpedo is controlled o
by the powerful wireless waves sent r
out from the Zeppelin. As it speeds 1
toward the target the torpedo can sh
be steered up or down or horizontally wh
at the will of the operator. In prac
tice it is simply propelled to a point
directly above the object to be de -
strayed and is then turned vertically r
downward and dropped like an ordin- a
ary bomb.
The new torpedo is said to be about th
seven feet in length and to have a war se
head like that of a submarine. In, or- R
der to allow it to penetrate a roof or
other obstruction before exploding m
the war head is equipped with a time hi
fuse that delays the explosion for' a
few seconds after the impact. Carried in
om- ),in the body of the torpedo is, from
ere Ione hundred to one hundred"and fifty
a pounds of high explosive, enough to
Y•" cause great havoc, especially when ex-
ploded within ari inclosure such as a
building. The torpedo is driven by
een two propellors at the stern and is
ate sustained in the air by two propellors
'It working
on
vertical Ica, axles and placed
the fore and aft under the body. By
re I means of an arrangement of fins and
rudder's it is kept from capsizing in
the heaviest winds. It is believed that
the propellors and other mechanism
are operated by compressed air.
While this torpedo San doubtless be
made enormously more effective than.
a bomb that is simply dropped it has
one serious limitation when launched
from an airship against fortifications
or war ships. To be safe from the
fire of anti-aircraft guns; the airship
must either be at a considerable dis-
tance from the target or at a great
height above the ground. In either
case it would be extremely difficult
to determine when the torpedo was
anywhere near a point directly .above
the target, In spite of this, however,
the Germans have apparently provid-
ed themselves with an'exceedingly
effective weapon. of offence in this
torpedo.

There are n e

Rowers native to this country. There;
are only three plants that are really
poisonous to the touch: They
belong to the Rhus all
family, and re-
semble •one 'another in their uninter-
esting clusters of dull greenish -gray
berries.
Two of them, poison ivyand

of the country, and poison oak grows
on the Pacific coast.
Poison ivy is a common vine that
climbs over rocks, and that in some
shady places covers the. ground with
luxu::l•nt ,leaves Occasionally, hi
fertile tie
spots,it *ill 7�Ois^ branches
like shrubs up over the. rocky sup
ports;, elsewhere it clings to the bark,
of trees and climbs high.
Its flowers and berries are always
in
1 clusters,
but its leaves may
I become brilliant red and brown in the
'autumn sun. Do not pick leaves that
grow in threes on a vine, but do not
be afraid to gather leaves of the
woodbine, which grow in clusters of
five.
It is difficult to distinguish poison
sumac from other sumacs. Do not
call it dogwood; it does not look like
dogwood; true dogwoods have beauti-
ful flowers, and are not poisonous.•
Poison sumac grows like a small,
branching tree;•it is the cleanest and
smoothest in leaf and branch of all
the sumacs. The leaflets are Iong
and pointed, five to eleven on one
petiole: If you see little drooping
clusters of greenish -white, or later
the greenish little berries, do not
ouch anything on that shrub or tree.
Poison oak does not look like any
ak. It has clusters of three almost
ound leaves, which grow on a vine
Ike poison ivy, or more often on a low
rub. If you see the 'clusters of
rte flowers, or berries, do not touch
the plant.
There aro many plants with sap
that is more ar less poisonous if it
eaches a cut or abrasion. Do not let
plant drip on a wound. There are
any plants with thorns and stings

retch through the skin. Pick their

Do not ever hold flowers in your
outh. Do not give flowers to ba -
es, for they are sure to put them
to their mouths, and some of our
familiar flowers have poison enough
to affect a baby's health.
There are other flowers and plants
that are harmless to man, but poison-
ous to animals, if eaten. Many who
read these lines know the bad effects
of the loco weed of the West or the
lambkin of the East. In pastures
where buttercups abound cattle care-
fully graze round them, but will not
eat the Rowers or leaveb, because of
the bitter taste of the poison in them.

should remember two things: first, it
is safe to pick any'beautiful flower;
second, it is never safe' to let its
juices touch the lips or any flesh
