ROYALITE OIL GIVES BEST RESULTS THE IMPERIAL OIL COMPANY Limited I e.�n PiCiON ManyA tOmobiles Required Ca Soldiers Have Plenty to Eat and Shoot, While Removal of Wounded is Greatly Facilitated by Auto Ambulances. The r.a•rt which motor vehioles have been playing in the present' war has been a source of pride as • well as keen interest to motorists everywhere. The British army, from top to bottom, has been mo- torized as much as possible and even the Canadian contingents are provided .with considerable auto- mobile equipment. The motorization of the Canadian army division is e, prominent fea- ture of the development of the over- seas forces. Three motor machine gun batteries have been, or are being provided for the Canadian fighters in the Sifton, Borden and Eaton battery units and the Cana- dian Army Service Corps also have a great many gasoline -driven vehi- cles, which are used in..a less spec- tacular, yet highly important, duty—namely- the t•raneporting of supplies of food, ammunition and clothing to those in the front Iines. Further, t•he Red Cross Society has found the motor ambulance indis- pensable. To date, no fewer than twenty-eight motor ambulances have been donated for arany medi- cal purposes by the people of Canada. It is almost impossible to estimate the value of these gifts in the humanitarian work which they are doing. Training On the Road. An interesting part of the train- ing of the motor department of the C' A.S,C., now in. practice at the. Exhibition Military Camp, is the holding of extensive route tours by Motor ear for the purpose of giving the members of the ,Service Corps a certain amount of experience in road work. Many motor vehioles, nearly all of which are large trucks, are used in the trips which occupy a period of one to four days. The officers of the corps travel at the head of the flying column in tour- ing cars and the privates ride in the trucks, five to a truck: A unique feature is that the col- umn camps at the road -side each night and lives exactly under ac- tive service conditions. The eche dules'oali foe a fifty -mile drive each day. which is a long distance when the: number and speed of the trucks are considered; Lots of; Goad,rood. In all reports received from the trendies, whether private or ofti- rial, tlhe' statement ha •always been Made that the best of food is plenti ful. The rnechanioal trapsport of the Artily Service Oorps. probably can be thanked for this state of affairs. With the motor trucks, the fighters in the trenchers are able to have meat as food not more than 48 hours after the animals have been killed and a variety of fresh food is supplied by means of the motor cars. The splendid diet provided has been a means of keeping the soldiers in good health under try- ing conditions. The motor trucks of the modern army transport are .able to carry a load of tbre•e tons, or 6,000 pounds, at least. The old horse-drawn carts cannot 'carry more than 3,000 pounds of load each and the pace of the latter is comparatively very slow. Moreover, the horses get tired and need more or less careful attention ;almost constantly. The result is that it has been found that one motor lorry •can replace four•: or five horse vehicles. • Equipment for a Division. For the Divisional Supply Col- umn of an army division, the size of the whole second Canadian con- tingent, the following motor ve+hi- e•Ies constitute the regular equip- ment: Two motor cars, seven mo- torcycles, thirty-eight 3 -ton lorries, three tractors, two workshop trucks and one store truck. For a Divi- sional Ammunition Park, whose duty it is to keep the fighting unite supplied with ammunition, the fol- lowing is the motor equipment: Five motor cars, nine motorcycles, sic tractors, six 3 -ton lorries, four workshop trucks, and two store and fool trucks. The motorcycles are used for messengers and emergency purposes. The motor oars are em- pioyed by the officers to keep in personal touch with all parts of the divisional front. The t•rartuia Haul heavy trailers euntainiug sup- plies and the lorries are used in transporting heavy loads. H___ PEER 13U.tL.DI+a1t OE PLATS. Late Lord ('allognn Changed ('har- aeter of Chelsea.

A GOO MEDICINE FOR THE SPRING Do Not Use Harsh Purgatives —A Tonic is All You Need Not exactly sick—but not feeling quite well. That is the way most people feel in the spring. Easily tired, appetite fickle, sometimes headaches, and a feeling of depres- eion. Pimples or eruptions tray appear on the skin, or there may be twinges of rheumatism or neur- algia. Any of these indicate that the blood is out of order that the indoor life of winter has left its mark upon you and may easily de- velop into more serious trouble. Do not dose yourself with pur- gatives, as so many people do, in the hope that you can put your blood right. Purgatives gallop through the system and weaken in- stead of giving etre•ngt'h. Any •doc- tor will tell you this is true. What you need in spring is a tonic that will make new blood and build up the nerves. Dr. Willd,ani ' Pink Pills is the only medicine that can do this speedily, •safely and surely. Every dose of this medicine makes new blood which clears the skin, strengthens the appetite and makes tired, depressed men, women and children bright, active and strong. Mrs. S. E. Stephens, Ponoka, Alta., •sa,ys : "I suffered severely from headaches, and was badly run down in health. I had tried several remedies with no benefit, until. I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and these have fully re- stored my health, and I can recom- mend them with confidence to all weak women." • Sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box or Williams'oxes Y`' for $2.50 from The Dr. m Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

The various substances used to keep away moths,. such as tobacco, camphor, naphthalene cones or balls, tarred paper and •cedar chips have no effect if the moth eggs are already present in the clothes, and entomology specialists therefore re- cammencl, before they are laid away .for the summer, a thorough beating, shaking and brushing of all articles likely to attract moths. The brushing of garments is es- pecially important in order to re- move eggs which may have escaped notice.. If the articles are quite free from eggs when laid away, the odor from the various repellents or from cedar chests and wasdrobe•s will serve to keep the moths away. The odor, however, lessens with age, so that the proteetion •it af- fords is greatly decreased after a few years. For this reason when furs and other valuable garments are wrapped in tarred paper the containers should be renewed every year or two. In general, moths are likely to affect- onlyarticles which are put away and left undisturbed for .some little time. Apartane•nts and clo- sets that are frequently aired and swept are not apt to be seriously affected. In fact, airing and sun- light are probably the best, as well as the oldest, remedies. When circumstances demand that the articles be put away, however, a convenient and effective device is to place thein in large pasteboard boxes, such as tailors use, and gum a strip of wrapping paper around the edge so as to seal up the box completely and leave no cracks. If the garments have been thoroughly cleaned before being placed in these boxes no additional protection is necessary and there is none of the objectionable odor which is characteristic of so many moth repellents. For valuable articles the safest plan is to place them in •cold stor- age. Recent experiments have Sown that the larvae of the clothes moth will resist for a long time low temperatures if these are uniform. but that the alternation of low and high temperatures quickly results in death.
