In an address on "Insect Life in elation to Bird Life," a Toronto eaker, Dr. Cosens, recently told of e constant struggle going on in the world between plants and animals and sects for existence, and of the nice lance of nature. This has been de- royedtby man, who is reaping the asequences of his destruction of the lei • by suffering from the ravages of sect pests. Birds are the most im-' rtant check on injurious insects, ere are certain other checks, such parasitic insects like the family of o Ichneumonidae. The Ichneumon lays its eggs either on the skin, un - r the skin, or near the larvae of the ect it preys upon. But the birds e our great helpers, and every age of insect Life, eggs, larvae, erpillar and mature insect, fur - hes food for some bird. Warblers d chickadees clean up the eggs, as the creepers. A colony of warblers d chickadees will keep an orchard e from the dread San Jose scale. A mber of orioles and yellow -billed d black -billed cuckoos will keep an hard free from the tent caterpillar, nk swallows feed on the adult mos to, and should receive absolute pro - tion. Dr. Cosens deplored the de- uotion of colonies of bank swal- s every year by idle boys. This ould be stopped. Every bank swal- is a public benefactor. The wood- ckers are the only check on boring ties in the world, and are specially ipped with a beak and a tongue digging under the bark and lick - out the grubs. The bark beetle is most destructive pest we have. annual loss in forests in the ited States alone is estimated at 0,000,000. Woodpeckers should be enraged and protected. The sap- ker is more likely boring for a b than for sap. The robins feed the brown -tailed moth, which was orted to this continent from Hol - in 1891 in nursery stock and be- e very destructive in the New Eng States. The gypsy moth has terpillar which weaves a silken and floats away on the wind toy urea new.

On two or three occasions the girl had accompanied him on board- the steamer, and at such times it was Mr, Green's pleasure to wink in a frenzied manner at Mr, ,Joe Smith, and to make divers bets of pints of . beer, which made that thirsty soul halt crazy to listen to. He also said that anyone with half an eye could see what was in the wind. "And a very nice couple they'll snake, too," said Joe, solemnly. An what about Cap'n Flower?" suggested Mr, Green; "she's evident e young lady lie was talking abou that night, and Tommy's heard 'em speaking about him once or twice too.' Joe shuffled uneasily. Ho was be- ginning to entertain a considerable re- gard for his new skipper, dating from the time he discovered that his sinister suspicions concerning him were- un- founded. He had moreover conceiv- ed a dog -like admiration for Poppy Tyrell, "That's 'is business," he said, short- ly; "judging by what you 'card in that pub, Cap'n Flower knows where to put is hand on one or two more if 'e wants 'em." He walked off in dudgeon, ignoring a question by Mr. Green as to whose foot kep' the door open, and felt dimly the force of the diction that no mann can serve two masters; and; with a view to saving himself worry, dismiss- ed the matter from his mind until some weeks afterwards it was forcibly revived by the perusal of a newspaper which the engineer had brought aboard. Without giving himself Mine for due reflection he ran up on deck and approached the ,kipper, 1 "Golden Cloud's in the paper as overdue, sir," he said, respectfully. I Y er or a serlieitor, or aorirething o' the hints,' Days passed and ran -into weeks, bu the Golden Cloud was still unspoken Fraser got a papor every day when ashore, but in vain, until at length one morning, at Bittlesea, in the news columns of the Daily Telegraph, the name of the missing ship caught his eye. He folded the paper hurriedly, breathed hard as he read:— Missing ship, Golden Cloud, Rio Janeiro, Thursday. The barque Foxglove, from Mel- bourne to Rio Janeiro, has just arrived with five men, sole survivors of the t ship Golden Cloud, which they report as sunk in collision with a steamer, name unknown, ten weeks out from London. Their names are Smith, ' Larsen, Peterson, Collins, and Goach. No others saved," In a dazed fashion he read the paragraph over and over again, close- ',ly scanning the names of the rescued men. Then he went up on deck, and Ibeckoning to Joe, pointed with a � trembling finger to the fatal pare - graph.' Joe read it slowly, And Cap'n Plower wasn't one o' them, sir?" he asked, pointing to the ' names, Fraser shook his head, and`both men stood for some time in silence. "He's done ft this time, and no mis- take," said Joe,'at, last. "Well, 'e was a good sailorman and a kind !master." He handed the paper back, and re- turned to his work and to confer in a -low voice with Green, who had been watching them. Fraser went back to the cabin, and after sitting for 'some time in a brown study, wrote off to Poppy Tyrell and enclosed the cut- ting. '(To be continued,) Milk and Cheese Dishes. Milk and cheese, at present prices, furnish nourishment at a much lower cost than meats. •The housekeeper who knows their food value and how to prepare milk and cheese in a var- iety of appetizing dishes will use more of them. Secure the best milk at any price for the babies; their lives de- pend upon it. Whole milk, skimmed milk, butter -milk for the children, in- stead of so mucic meat, is both more wholesome and cheaper. If possible; buy skimmed milk for milk soups and puddings; it is' a substitute for meat protein and costs about a-quarter.the money, Milk Soups. 2 Tablespoons butter or dripping, 2 tablespoons flour, 31 teaspoon salt, 2 cups milk err 1 cup milk and 1 cup vegetable water, n4 cup vegetable pulp or flaked fish. The vegetable water is the water in which the vegetables have been cooked. (In the case of potatoes the water is not used.) The vegetable pulp is the cooked vegetable rubbed through a sieve, Since the vegetable is cook- ed before making into sopp, any left- over vegetable from dinner can be used to make a hot soup for supper or lunch Onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, can- ned corn, peas, or tomatoes,, are gen- erally well liked, In the case of tomatoes, a pinch of soda must be added to neutralize the acid so the milk will not curdle.

Macaroni and Cheese. 1 Cup macaroni, 2 cups milk, 3 tablespoons butter, 4 tablespoons flour, 1 cup grated cheese, % teaspoon salt, few grains pepper, % cup dry bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon butter. Add 2 teaspoons salt to 2 quarts boiling water. Drop in the macaroni, broken into inch pieces, and boil hard for 20 minutes, Drain and pour cold water through to prevent the 'pieces sticking together. Melt the 3 tablespoons butter in a saucepan; add the flour and stir until frothy; add the milk and stir until it thickens. Season with salt and pepper, add the cheese and pour over the cooked mac- aroni. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a baking dish, stir the crumbs in this, turn them out on a plate, put the macaroni in the baking -dish, and sprinkle the crumbs over the top. Bake until thoroughly heated and the crumbs brown. This may be served in a vegetable dish without the crumbs and baking, but the macaroni must then be re -heated in the sauce. Cheese Fondue. 1 Cup scalded milk, 1 cup soft stale bread crumbs, 1 cup grated cheese, 1 tablespoon butter, aft teaspoon salt, 2 eggs. Mix first five ingredients. Add yolks of eggs well beaten, and fold in the stiffly beaten whites. Pour into a buttered baking -dish and bake twenty minutes in a moderate oven. Cheese Souffle, 3 Tablespoons butter, 4 tablespoons flour, 2-3 cup mills, 1 egg, 1 cup grat- ed cheese, salt and pepper, few grains of cayenne, dry crumbs, Melt the butter, add the cornstarch, and when well blended gradually stir in the cream and cook 2 minutes, Add the cheese, and stir until cheese is melted. Season and serve on toast- ed cracicers or on bread toasted on one side, the rarebit being poured over the untwisted side. Standard Food is the Cheapest.

Step Into bine With Our Fighting IIeroes and Defeat the Enemy, ' "What did you (lo in the Great War?" It won't be only "daddy" who is ask- ed that question by the next genera- tion, Mother and grandmother and grandfather will have togivean an- swer, says London Answers, "How I wish I could do something splendid!" cried the young girl in 1914.."Fancy being a girl et a time like this!" But, in 1917, sex is no handicap to splendid achievement. We all know that 1915 poster which shows a young man in khaki shaking hands with a veteran, who eays: "If I were only twenty years young- er---" But age is no bar to patriotism and sacrifice he 1917. A year ago, two years ago, the young man bemoaned the fact that he was unfit for military service. Your Chance at Last. "There's nothing really the matter with me," he explained, "only the mili- tary are so beastly particular!" The disability to hold a rifle, through; some trifling unfitness, is no bar to Hun strafing in 1917. And why is 1917 different from the three war years that have preceded it? In 1917 the call has come for Na- tional Service. We cannot please our- selves whether we work for the nation or not this year. It is our duty. It is the right thing to do—the only thing to do! Do we quite see the glory and the opportunity of this day? How often in the life of any one of us has it been given to know that a certain course is right beyond all doubt? Seldom, in- deed. But now we have the certainty. Those who volunteered to light saw their opportunity, and they are happy in having grasped it. Those who vol- unteer -to work will be no less happy. They will give all they have to give. Let, then, the message ring in each man's ears who is asked to consecrate himself to service: "Your work is needed for the victory of the right, and to save yourself from ruined hopes," It Rests With You. The solution rests in the hands of the National Service volunteer. He may not know anything about agriculture at present; but strong arms and a willing heart will soon make him a useful farm-hand. Aeroplane making, munition work, labor of all kinds is waiting to be done. Shortage of labor is a press- ing problem. The solution rests with the National Service volunteer, And note the word "Volunteer"! It is a great word. We are prouder of the soldiers who volunteered than of those who were forced to go. The sol- diers will be prouder of the workers who volunteer than those who are compelled. Every true Briton between the ages of eighteen and sixty-one not called to the Colors should promptly respond to the nation's summons to enrol to -day. He will find forms for offer of ser- vices at every fiost-office, National gn Service office, and employment ex- :s change. Every man between forty-five and sixty-ono—and the man who feels be- tween those ages, but is a little older —who feels the blood of youth still running in his veins, should step into line with his relatives and friends who are fighting. - The young man whose infirmity' keeps him out of khaki should prove - that he is really sorry not to bo able to "do his bit." If he is really sorry, the opportunity has come to prove it. The Only Way. ' Many professed themselves ready to die for King and Country if they had been able. How many will be ready to work? Work is less heroic. it is more humdrum, but it is not less ne- cessary to victory. There are no V.C,'s or D.C.M,'s to be gained by it, but it is a chance for service and sat- rifice.. Let every man ask himself: "Am I doing my bit?" and, having asked the question, let him leave the Director of National Service to answer it. It quite possible that the answer will be:"Yes, you aro. Carry oil"' But every man who volunteers for Na- tional Service helps the Director in ,his task of putting the right man in the right place. If he is to do his job, he must know whom lie can rely upon. }1 must have the power to send men to the places where they are required. It may be here to -day, and somewhere else to -morrow. War docs not wait on the coeveni- epee of individuals. War of to -day is an affair of nations, and that nation will be the victor which hest uses all its man -power and will -power to achieve victory.
