Until one sees statistics one can scarcely believe how much sugar and Jain is necessary for supplying Tori my's sweet tooth. In Tine .World's Work Mr, Frederick A, ;Talbot's his • tory of the industrial mobilization o the resources of the Empire for wa is mainly concerned with this subject The army is a heavy consumer o sugar, sexing that rho daily ration is sued ranges from two ounces 1n the case of the soldier at ]some to three ounces for the fighting man at the Front. On the baste of 1,900,000 men this represents a daily consumption of 126,000 and 187,500 lbs. respectively, that supply the greatest amount of nutriment at the lowest cost. The whole wheat grain is the most per - feet food ,given to man. Shredded Wheat )3iscuit is the whole wheat grain prepared in a digestible form. Every particle of the whole wheat berry is used — r nothing ^ wasted, nothing r• thrown away. Two or three r of these biscuits with •milk, sliced peaches or other fruits among the home troops and those in Flanders, 'It is possible to bring home more vividly the military require- ments in this connection whoa one re- calls that, according to the statement made in the house of Commons by the Prime Minister on December 14, Great:Blit'ain has 5,000,000 men tinder arms. Assuming that each member. of this huge force receives an average of 2r/s ozs. per day, then our Army is eat- ing its way through 124,100 tons of sugar per annum. A Grave Situation. This Is approximately equivalent to one-tiirteenth of our total normal an.7 nual consumption of this article. In 1913 the nation required 1,700,009 tons of sugar. " British refineries contri- buted 800,000 tons of this.: total, the balance representing imports from foreign refineries, The British sugar yield was, practically nil, inasmuch as we have never enthusiastically em- braced the cultivation of sugar beet. In one.stroke our sugar supply was cut in half by the supervention of war, because Germany furnished us with some, 50 per cent, of our needs, The situation was undeniably one of gravi- ty, but'tho Goyernment effectively grappled with it by assuming sole re- sponsibility for the purchase and dis- tribution of the commodity through the specially created organization known as the Sugar Commission. Naturally the Army came first and foremost; no stint in this field eouTd be countenanced for one moment. Some 25,000 lbs. per day had to be im- mediately earmarked fon the use of !our troops in Flanders alone, and this quantity at once commenced to grow somewhat startlingly to keep pace with the thousands -of men flocking to the colors. 108,000,000 Pounds Per Year. From the domestic point of view only one .course was open to the authorities. The householder and the many interests in which sugar plays an important part must go short. The question at that ti?ne was how to make good the 800,000 tons which formerly came from Germany. A sugar refinery cannot be built la a day. The sugar -refining industry in the Untied States had fallen upon some- what evil days, many refineries in- deed having fallen into desuetude. American interests, realizing the op- portunity to retrieve broken fortunes in this field, at once secured these. abandoned factories, overhauled them, and brought them into operation once more. Semi -refining upon the planta- tions also underwent a decided stimu- lation. It was also incumbent upon us to search for further potential eontribu- tory sources of supply in connection with the raw material, and, simultan. eously, to foster the possible yield from British possessions associated with this industry, la this latter la t r direction much has been done. The sugar supplied to theArmyis white granulated, and debits the dif-i iieulties of the problem there has never been the slightest difficulty in satisfying the War Office require- f meets, Naturally the leading firms in I this country can point to some big orders, the contract with one house alone calling for the supply of 4,000 tons per month, which is equivalent to 108,000,000 lbs. per year, A CALL TO ARMS.

ARE OUR FORESTS • INEXHAUSTIBLE ? ADDRESS BY HON. W. C. ED - WARDS IN THE SENATE. Forest Exhaustion is a Peril to Can- ada, Says Mr. Edwards in This Outspoken Warning. "Now I am coming to a subject on which I shall not have sympathy in -,his Chamber and shall have compara- tivelyTe'W supporters in Canada. There are •some men in Canadawho have thought as soda ,ashave on the climate conditions of Canada, her geographical construction, and her possibilities. 'km .'wi11': be somewhat astonished, honorable gentlemen, at the statement I ,on about to make, I know of 'Sia other?public man in Can - add who,would'matte such -a state- ment, but the reverse. On all ' our public platforms, h all our legislative halls, the statement has :been continu- ally made that Canada is a- country abounding,in. a variety of natural re- sources which are of enormous value and inexh'Austible. In my opinion this attitude has been more or less mis- leading and hurtful to Canada, giving her people an exaggerated idea as to her possibilities: Not only has Can- ada the `disabilities due -to her cli- matic condition and her geographical conformation, but she is not a'bountry pbssessed'of numerous natural re sources., I make the'stetetent advis- edly, and I think I know what I am' talkingyears about, and before many years have passed my statement will be found to be true. One of my friends, in talking to me before I arose to ad- dress this honorable House, said, "Ed- wards, don't be pessimistic." "Well, my friend," I said, "I will not be pes- simistic, but I am going to tell the truth." Canada, as I have stated, is not .0 country of a great variety of natural resources. She has just four, namely, agriculture, lumber, mining, and fishing; and a fifth might be add- ed, ed, namely; our water powers. Occu- pying the northern portion of the North American continent we are na- turally rich in water -powers. "Inexhaustible" ? . Coming to the next industry which I have named, that of lumber, I think it will be agreed that with this I um somewhat familiar, I do not hesitate to make the statement that every pro- vince in the Dominion of Canada far overestimates its resources in this respect. There are many in Canada who even to -day believe that our re- sources in, this respect are inexhaust- ible and that it will only be a question of time, until the United States will be exhausted of lumber and will have to turn to Canada for a supply. This idea, I assure you, is absolutely incor- rect. The United States has as great a supply of lumber relatively to her wants as Canada has, and the total quantity of standing timber in Can - aft would not supply the wants of the United States for more than eight years. Canada was once a compara- tively rich country in this resource, but bush fires and unwise administra- w:q't'r. A compound made of Wiles(, 9arlsy, Ssit and Yeast.

In pulpwood.we are considerably stronger than, in timber for lumber manul'aeturint;--of this there is no question; but, if our pulpwood re- sources are no better administered than our lumber resources have been in former years, they too will beeome exhausted much more rapidly than is at present anticipated, llad Settlement Policy. I would ask honorable gentlemen. who travel through this country from Halifax to Ottawa, or farther west, just to observe as: they pass over the various streams the logs that are being sawn today; for I assure you, honorable gentlemen, that the logs being sawn to -day in most o1 the mills in eastern Canada are such as were left in the woods twenty-five years ago, and I do warn the various pro- vinces of this Dominion that,:if we do not take care of our resources in this respect, the lumber trade of Canada, except west of the Rockies, will in a comparatively short time be a thing of the past: A stage was reached several years ago in the lum- ber industry, making it the contfnu- ous aim and object of every lumber- man to conserve his resources in this respect; but they have not been sup- ported by the administrators of the various provinces. Considerable por- tions of country are each year being sold for settlement where the object is not settlement but to obtain cheap lumber, on .the part of illicit settlers and a certain class of lumbermen. To give evidence of this I could show to any one who would accompany me, say fifty miles from this city, in one single district from fifty to sixty farms once occupied by pretended settlers, but now, as all the timber is cut off, will be no settlers whatever. This condition of affairs, I assure honorable gentlemen has been most serious in so far as the timber re- sources of eastern Canada are con- cerned. Exaggerated Values. In making the- statements'I do relative to our timber resources I; do not want to pretend that we have not still timber resources of very con- siderable value, but I do contend that they are not nearly of the value which the average Canadian believes. With regard to"- the destruction of these resources, I quite admit that the provinces are not all equally guilty. In so far as fire protection is concerned, the provinces of Quebec and British Columbia have made the greatest strides in improvement in re- cent years." FREQUENT HEADACHES People with thin blood are muck more subject to headaches than full- blooded persons, and the form of anaemia that afflicts growing girls is almost always accompanied by head- aches, together with disturbance of the digestive organs. Whenever you have constant or re- curring headaches and pallor of the face, they show that the blood is thin and your efforts should be directed to- ward building up your blood. A fair treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink. Pills will do this effectively, and the rich, red blood made by these pills will remove the headache. More disturbances to the health are caused by their blood than most peo- ple have any Mea of. When your blood is impoverished, the nerves suffer atom lack of nourishment and you may be troubled with insomnia, neuritis, neuralgia or sciatica, Muscles subject to strain are under -nourished and you may have muscular rheumatism or lumbago. If your blood is thin and you begin to show symptoms of any of those disorders, try building up the blood with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, andas the blood is restored to its nor- mal condition every symptom of the trouble will disappear. There are more people who owe their present state of good "health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills than to any other medicine, and most of then; do not hesitate to say so. You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine or py Mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. ANCIENT VAN. Van, which the Russians 110W occu- py, has a romantic legend. Armenian historians attribute its foundation to Semiramis, the semi -mythical Queen of Assyria. She became enamored of Ara, King of Armenia, and made war on Armenia, to capture him. Ara was killed in the battle that•followed; .acrd Semiramis transferred hes affection to his country and built the city of Van. Since Prof. Saycedeciphered the local cuneiform inscriptions, we have learned that Van was really built'dur- ing a Chaldean monarchy that for at least two centuries rivaled in splendor the empire of Assyria. Armenians have a proverb: Van in this world and Paradise in the next. But human perversity, aided by Turkish neglect and misrule, has converted this'lreav- en on earth into a plague spot. Lake. Van, on which the Russia?,ns launched a flotilla to attack the city, is the largest inland sea of. Asia Minor. It is still imperfectlytexpler, ed, and possesses two curious charac- teristics, It contains only one kind of fish, a large bleak that, when salted and dried, furnishes the bloaters or kippers of Armenia. Furthermore its waters are so strongly alkaline that the people of Van can' enjoy tie luxury of a bath without buying soap.

As roseate hues of morning grow And day emerges from the night, What do I see that stops the flow •01 blood to heartand dims the sight ? Three banners floating in the breeze, So bravely waving side by side, The first two come front o'er the seas, The third is sure our country's pride. And God be praised that now at last Three flags are streaming as if one; Mistakes and errors of the past Have gone as mist before the sun. Flesh of our flesh and bone of bone, ' Brave England's colors wide are flung, While noble France her ensign thrown, Her loving greetings loud are sung. And untold millions raise the skies In loud acclaim unto our Lord, That after all the sacrifice The beaten foe will drop the sword. America and France shall'be As true friends tried in days of yore, While England lets the whole world see She's With us now for. evermore. As brothers we'il united stand, Cemented with the great desire To stop the hellish; Hunnish band, Who've filled the world with blood and fire. As Allies we'll protect each flag, Where'er it floats on land and sea, On ocean, town of mountain craig, With fine and perfect loyalty. .—George L. Upshur.

SNAIL FARMS IN FRANCE. Half Million of the Mollusks Raised On An Acre. In France, there is a big demand for snails -the daily' consumption in Paris alone occasionally reaches 11117 tons—the snail -farms yield a hand- some profit, 'As many os 600,000 "first quality" snails, the price of which in normal times averages sev- en -and -sixpence a thousand, can be reared on an acre of land. They need only be fed once a day, preferably in the evening, and, though extremely voracious, are by no 'means fastidious. After a fall of rain, which seems to sharpen their appetite, a bed of 100,000 snails will soon demolish a barrow -load of cab- bages, They are fed not only on gr•eenstuffs, but on wine -dregs or bran.soaked in wine, a diet which is supposed to impart a special flavor. French farmers find a frog -pond even more profitable than a snail - bed. Good plump frogs realize in the Paris markets from 10d. to 2s, a dozen, wholesale rate. Some people cook them whole, but as a rule only the frogs saddles—that is, they' thighs, and underparts—are eaten, these being meaty and delicate in flavor. England is one of the few countries where these delicacies are not appreciated. Frogs are gladly eaten in the United States and Can- ada, as well as all over the Contin- ent. One American firm does an an- nual turnover of £10,000 in frogs, whilst, according to a report of the United States Consul, the Province of Quebec benefits to the tune of 120,000 per annum by this commodity. One hotel in Toronto alone is said to con- sume about 1,600 lb. of frogs' saddles each season. Minard's Liniment Cures Dandruff. Painless Bayonet Alexander Foster Humphrey, of Pittsburg., invented a narcotic bullet that would kill moose or other animals without hurting them. Now he comes along with an antiseptic, painless bay- onet. The Popular Science Monthly says it carries in its blade a capsule containing a mixture of antiseptics, anaesthetics and gelatin, "When the bayonet is plunged into a soldier," it says, "the heat of the body will melt the capsule and release its healing contents, the anaesthetic deadening the wounded man's pain, the antiseptic preventing infection, and the gelatin stopping the flow of blood." • No better time to drain the wet land than right now, after a good rain has moistened and softened the earth.
