According to the German Social ist newspaperVorwaerts, Vorerts, 589,77 Socialist working men belonging t various trade organizations haw been sent to the German fightin line. One of the side isasues of the w is reflected in the London trade an nown�cem;en•t that no new pattern of wallpapers are to be issued fo next year, and prices are to be in creased by 10 per cent. Since the war began ,emigration to the United States has decreased enormously, and during the las week in September more aliens left America than arrived there—a, cir �eulnstanee unprecedented in reeen times, "We shall wash our hands in Paris and dry them in London," said a German ()Seer to M. Moreau, Mayor of Anderleeiht, one of the Belgian refugees now in London. They will need a good deal of wash- ing. Letters from the front seem to in- edieate that the Highland regiments are beginning to find the kilt very uncomfortable in the serious busi- ness of war—especially after ten days of soaking rain, which was the experience of one of the battalions recently. Australia has its own clothing, saddlery, ammunition and small arms factories, controlled by Gov- ernment authorities. These factor- ies have been worked night and day since war was deelared, making sup- plies for the Australian expedition- ary force as well as for local de- fence. One of the great factors of the pr'osperityof • Belgium is the ,..fo��jot's), to i ipe.st in Europe, .You Can u -a carried six mules fora penny,. at short seasons still rates, cheaper, and the light railway and .electric tram ays- ttems are far ahead of anything in tigland. A 'l. boon in rags is the latest evil de -nee of war time activity. ,They are wanted for :the textile trade, and as Continental supplies have fallen off. old home stocks are fete` p- ing high prices, and at. Dewsbury and other textile .centres •the rag sales have been marked by exciting scenes. Prices have advanced $30 a ton, An account is being kept of the cost of the maintenance of the Ger- man prisoners of war in Britain. This is very necessary. for when it conies to a question of peace the vanquished enemy will be .oall�ed upon to settle this account, which, as the war advances, will become more and more considerable. The banns for a soldier's wedding at a Durham seaport had been read a second time when the man was suddenly ordered to the front. The clergyman was urged to stretch a point and marry the pair, bub ex- pert ecclesiastical opinion decreed 'that it would 'not be a legal mar- riage, and 'the, ,soldier had to speed away, leaving the unwed bride sor- rowing. The lessons learned in humility by the (Russians in their last war have gone very deep, and the. world is going to disdiscovera wonder- ful change in Russia and in the Russian army, Every departure fromthe Prussian military standard has been that much gain to them, and one would have to.look far for a higher order of efficiency than • theirs, Besides the soup kitchens and army bakeries on wheels that trundle along -with the army and keep steadily at work on the march, the German machine possesses tra- =ening chemist shops, automobile repair wagons, and others for the repairing of ,aeroplanes, each with .a force of trained mechanics; a force of wheelwrights and carpen- ters is.,in every division,• - . •....•-.. 14 d x- tit rs of h f e y 5 0 e g r s r t t "I say; dna," stammered Dobby through the suds as his another scrubbed and scrubbed hi`n.

Don't let ,a pain in the region o£ the heart frighten you into think - nag you have heart disease, :Feet as a pain in the back seldom: indi- cates kidney troubiie, so pa...a. i1.:ar the-hearit is scarcely ever present in organic heart disease. The pain is nearly always caused by stomach trouble for the stomach and .,heart axe connected by many nerves, and gas on the stomach causes pressure on the heart. The alarming pains will disap- pear if you tone up the stomach, eat the right things and don't worry. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are the best sto- mach tonic. One or two Pills after each mead soon produces a healthy appetite, the food does not distress you, you are no longer troubled with gas, sour risings in the throat, and those r isleading pains around the heart. Strength and energy return, and the rich, red blood, carries renewed vitality to every parrt of the body. Mrs. Henry Con- nolly, Brookvale, P.E.I., says : "Fora number of years I was a great sufferer from •indigestion which, despite all the treatment I took, was gradually growing worse. I would sometimes feel as though I was smothering, and when the trouble came o:n I would .suffer from violent palpitation and pains around the heart which greatly alarmed me. I was under doctor's treatment fora long time, but with no benefit. A friend suggested Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I decided to try them. In about a month I felt much ,better, and by the time I had taken another four boxes I was in the best of health and able to eath all kinds of nourishing food. It is now several years since I was oured and I have never felt a, symp- tom of indigestion since. I take every opportuaaiity of recommend- ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to friends who are ailing." If your dealer does not keep these Pills you can get them by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. PLEASE LEAVE THE GATE -AJAR.

While the little girl was waiting one .evening for her dad, His men eamo through the forest with faces grave and sad, "Lass, your father wants to see you, we'll take you right to him," They gently told her, while their eyes grew dam.

Dip French friend potatoes in cornmeal before frying. Soap should be bought in quanti- ties; remove the wrapper and allow it to dry. To remove ink from the fingers, dampen a sulphur match and rub the. stains, If cream '.proves too thin to whip, add the white of an egg )before 13e, _ginning to whip. 7f the zinc lining' of a refrigerator looks shab'bv it can 'be enameled and mode look like new. ' The efficient housekeeper knows that sharp knives save time, pa- tience and give better results than dull ones. Use a little ammonia in water to wash white paint, .but no soap. This has the advantage of not dulling the surface. In using washing soda,, it should always be dissolved in hot water 'be- fore adding to the clothes. Soiled satin slippers may be dyed with the ordinary powdered dyes, mixed with gasoline. Apply with a clean sponge. q.._•, A REBELLION Food Demanded. The human body will stand a lot of abuse, but sometimes it will sure- ly `rebel ancl demand proper food in place of the pasty, .starchy, greasy stuffs on which it has been made siek. Then is, the time to try Grape - Nuts, the most scientific' and per- fect food in, the world, A woman writes: "Three years ago I was very 111 with .catarrh of the stomach and was given up to die by gone doctor. I laid in bed four months and my s,ton»acth was so weak that I could not keep down medicine or hardly any kind of food and was so weak and emaci- ated after four months of this star- vation that my dau,ghiter could easily lift me from bed and putt me in my chair, "Burt weak as my stomach waas, it .accepted, relished and digested Grape -Nuts without any difficulty the first time that wonderful food was' tried. "I am now strong and in better health ~than for a. great many years and am gradually growing still stronger. T reify on Grape -Nuts tor much. of the nourishment that 1 g•dt. The results have eerbainly been 'wonderful in my case and prove that no stomachs its so weak it will not dligest Grape -Nuts. "My baby got ~fiat from feeding on Grape -Nuts.

In of at all e t as ar LOO NH D HAVE IBJ FEAR ZEPPELIN'S CANNOT INFLICT GREAT DAMAGE. Sir Hiram Maxim Tells the People That They May Sleep Peacefully. Sir Hiram Maxim, in a statement in P•ear:son's Weekly, says :— "kis quite on the cards that the Germans will, sooner 01 later, at- tempt an air raid on this country, but if they do, I am strongly of the opinion that they will not be able to inflict any damage worth speak- ing about upon us or our property. "It is largely thought that they will try to fly over London and drop bombs on the town, but personally I am not ,at all convinced that it is within the powers of German Zeppe- lins to get to London. tIt is unconceivable that Ger- many can so far subjugate France as to use, say, Calais, or Boulogne, or Dieppe, as a base for their air fleet; and from anywhere else, even from Belgium, they would have to cross an arm of the sea which is very rough and stormy, especially in Autumn and Winter. To cross the North Sea by air is a most haz- ardous enterprise, at any time, and one, requiring abnormally good weather and fortune to be success- ful. Might Arrive Wit13. Wonderful Luck. ['ii the Germans were to dispatch a fleet of twenty 'Zeppelin balloons, and if, by some extraordinary luck, they did get over the North Sea safely to London, I do not think the damage they could do would be very great; it would cost them more than it would cost us. Flying, say, two miles high they might pass our fleet unseen, and on a dark night— they would certainly choose a moonless or cloudy night—they might get to London unobserved, but it would be necessary for them to descend to within striking dis- tance if they wished to place their bombs with any degree of accuracy And this would be to reveal them- selves. Now, a rifle will carry well over a mile, and you can take it that London's •scbem•e of defence against air invasion is not solely re- presented by rifle fire. Still, a rifle bullet is quite sufficient to bring a Zeppelin down; the fabric of which these balloons are made offers prac- tically no resistance to the, passage of a projectile. "Even if Zeppelins were to come here, and remaining high enough up to be safe from rifle shot, should turn on their seach-lights to show them the town, they would also re- veal themselves, and so enable our gunners to train on them:. Too high to be Dangerous. 1. "From the height at which they would have to keep to be safe, I am convinced' than a Zeppelin attack on London would be little more than an annoyance to us. As to being able to. drop bombs into Woolwich Arsenal or to wreck the Admiralty wireless masts, the idea, to my mind, is very problematical. If they tried to blow up Woolwich Arsenal they would do well if they wrecked a porter's lodge. "And even if they did succeed in reaching London, I do not believe that many of thein would get back to their base. For one thing, a. Zep. pelin has -be be "fed" with pure hydrogen once a day, ancl, for an- other, its petrol -earring capacity is limited. A little buffeting about over the North Sea and these air- ships would run short of the spirit which supplies the motive power. "The ease of an aeroplane raid is rather different. Aeroplanes, I think, would stand a better chance of getting here, and. would do more damage than Zeppelins. If the Ger- mans sent a fleet of a hundred aeroplanes, twenty-five might reach our ooasts successfully and perhaps half of them could return, "Brut then aeroplanes could not carry many bombe, and would' re quire a great number of bombs dropped on London to do any a preciable amount of damage. "In the elegant. and euphoniou language of the wild and w•oo1•l West, they have bitten off mo than they can chew, and no one i London need tremble at night o hide in a cellar for fear of Gonna bombs dropping into London." A CENTURY AGO. Comparisons With the Past Some times Have a •Sobering Effect. A little more than a century ,ag• Britain, with a population of abou a third of its, presentsize, wa maintaining an immense army soa tared over the world. In 1809 th. local Militia alone numbered 200, 000, and these were kept in trainan until the peace of 1815. More tha,. half a million men were garrisoned in the United Kingdom. Another 22,000 regulars were fighting in Portugal, while in India, Ceylon, the West Indies, North America, the Mediterranean, Cape of Good Hope and Madiera were large bodies of. British .troops .strugghing to keep the Empire ~together. Thir- teen hundred regulars guarded the convicts in New South. Wales, and 18,000 more were on the high seas, And in spite of a long war, cos'ing $5,000,000 a week, the country managed to redeem millions of un- funded debt, and show a .braye front to the world with bread at Is.. 10d. a loaf. Dr, Mor se Indian Koot Pans exactly meet the need which so often arises in every family for a medicine to open up and regulate the bowels. Not only are they effective in all cases of Constipation, but they help greatly in breaking up a Cold or La Grippe by cleaning out the system and purifying the blood.
