Others. -a .s ALL MOTHERS NEED CONSTANT STRENGTH generation is now told, and told in a way which may give credence to the theory that this woman's crimes and those of many another woman have their source in physical weakness rather than moral depravity. The history of the crime which NOT brought to her the impeisonment from which she has just been released may be briefly told as follows: The Countess was betrothed to Count and Kamarowsky, a wealthy Russian !nobleman, who was devoted to her. She, however, was in love with one Donat Prilukoff, who had been a prosperous Moscow lawyer until love for her had ruined him. With Prilu- koff she plotted Kamarowsky's death, and with Prilukoff she intended to share the fortune of Kamarowsky,' which he had 'willed to her, and his life insurance, which was trade out in her favor. Bossi's Defence. But the Countess and her lover were unwilling to be principals in the murder. So she persuaded Nicholas Naumoff, a young man who was des- perately in love with her, to kill Kamarowsky as a means to gain her affection. He obeyed her, and with the results of his' obedience the world is familiar. It seems, from this bare recital, that no adequate defence of the who spread ruin wherever she went, Countess Tarnowska is possible. But was not deliberately vicious, but Professor Bossi thinks otherwise. merely the victim of her own dis- eased organism. It was in 1907 that the world first heard of the beautiful Countess Marie Tarnowska. When Count Paul Kam- arowsky, a Russian nobleman, was fatally shot at Venice, her name was the last word he uttered, and it was Their Strength is Taxed and They are Victims of Weak- ness and Suffering. When there is a growing family to care for and the mother falls ill it is a serious matter. Many mothers who are on the go from morning to night, whose work, apparently, is never done, try to disguise their suffering and keep up an appearance of cheer- fulness before their family. Only themselves know how they are disc tressed by backaches and headaches, dragging down pains and nervous weakness; how their nights are often sleepless, and they arise to a new day's work tired, depressed and quite unrefreshed. Such women should know that their sufferings are usually due to lack of good nourishing blood. They should know that the one thing they need above all others to give them new health and strength is rich, red blood, and that among all, medi- cines there is none can equal Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills for their blood -mak- ing, health -restoring qualities. Every suffering woman, every woman with a home and family to care for should give these pills a fair trial, for they will keep her in health and strength and make her work easy. Mrs. G. Strasser, Acton West, Ont., says: "I am the mother of three children, and after each birth I became terribly run down; I had weak, thin blood, always felt tired, and unable to do my house- hold work. After the birth of my third child I seemed to be worse, and was very badly run down. I was ad- vised to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I found the greatest benefit from the Pills and soon gained my old-time strength. Indeed, after taking them I felt as well as in my girlhood, and could take pleasure in my work. I also used Baby's Own Tablets for my little ones and have found them a splendid medicine for childhood ail- ments." You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by nail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. oats, flour and lastly raisins. Mix lightly together, put in greased muffin pan and bake for twenty minutes or until brown. Boiled Dinner. -Four pounds corn- ed beef, one-half small cabbage, two small turnips, four potatoes, bunch each of small carrots and small beets. If beef is very salty put it on to cook in cold water; otherwise cover with boiling water. Boil five minutes, then let simmer three or four hours, time depending .on how long it takes meat to get tender. Quarter cabbage, af- ter removing outside leaves and core. Pare turnip and cut into slices. Scrape carrots and wash beets. Cook beets In boiling water one hour. Drain, drop into cold water and remove skin. One hour before meat is done take enough water from meat kettle to cover cabbage, carrots, turnips in an- other kettle and boil them one-half hour, then add potatoes and cook an- other half hour. When everything is cooked dish meat, garnish with cab- bage, carrots and turnips. Serve po- tatoes and beets in separate dishes. By cooking dinner this way meat is not flavored with vegetables, but vegetables are flavored with meat. If vegetables are not young, longer time will be required for cooking them. Useful Hints. Sugar should not be eaten by those who suffer from rheumatism. Sugar added to over -salted soup, etc., will remove the saltness. Sugar—a lump of—dropped into milk will prevent its turning sour. Sugar—a couple of lumps on the floor of the oven, will make pastry brown nicely. To peel potatoes properly have a sharp knife and run it around between the skin and the potato. Occasionally a little ammonia in the water in which glass is washed will give good results. It cleanses the glass thoroughly without injur- ing it.

RUSSIA FAR FROM i' "DR ' Substitutes for Vodka Said to Be Plentiful and Harmful. In introducing its drastic prohibi- tion law the Russian Government has not solved finally the great problem of drink in Russia. According to the Novoe Vremya of Petrograd, illicit drinking is still going on throughout Russia. In rural districts the peasants get frequently drunk on various vodka substitutes, in the manufacture of which with most primitive means lo- cal amateur distillers show great in- genuity. Our vocabulary, says the journal, is already enriched by a string of new words, such as "samo- sidka" ("home made"), "brashka" ("brewery"), "khanzha" ("hypo- crite"), etc., all of which denote drinks more harmful than the original vodka. In towns and cities inveterate drinkers manage to get spirits from dispensing chemists on the strength oaf a doctor's prescription. A result of this is that five Kieff doctors have just brought on themselves the pen- alty of the law in the shape of fines varying from $100 to $250 for en- couraging their patients to drink by means of suitable prescriptions. In many cities and towns local authori- ties forbid apothecaries keeping any spirits. Both the public and the authorities in Russia are beginning to realize that prohibition alone, without a cor- responding effort to increase facili- ties for healthy recreation, is insuffi- cient to cope with the great evil of drink. Such an effort is already being made in many places, but owing to the exigencies of the war it is neces- sarily restricted. Stocks of gold are held by the Bank of England in both Canada and South Africa„ Here are his views, as he utters them in the address to Mrs. Chartres, which he prefaces her book: "Not only as the medical expert for the defence at the trial of the Coun- tess Tarnowska, but as one who has made it his life work to investigate the relation in women between trim - found that he was betrothed to her, inal impulse and morbid physical con - and had insured his life to her bene- dition, I cannot but feel the keenest fit for the sum of $100,000.

French Army to Have 200 Travelling Laboratories. Two hundred travelling toxicologi- cal laboratories have been formed by the French army authorities and will shortly leave for the front. ( Their main utility will be to insure the health of the soldiers fighting in the trenches or resting in the canton- inents. The chemists attached to each laboratory will analyze the water the soldiers drink and the foodstuffs brought to them so as to insure their perfect purity. They will also con- trol the disinfection of the front line trenches whenever that is possible. A secondary phase of their activi- ties, from which, however, much is expected, will be the analysis of new German methods of attacking by gas bombs, liquid fire or gas clouds. Each laboratory has attached to it either a skilled doctor or an expert analytical chemist with trained labor- atory assistants. trial was considered sufficient pun- ishment for this dupe of a dangerous adventuress. Not a Criminal. But the woman who caused this and other crimes has not been utterly forgotten during her stay in an Ital- ian prison. Professor Luigi M. Bossi, a distinguished alienist and gynecolo- gist associated with the University of Genoa, was called as an expert for the defence at the trial in Genoa. He believed that the Countess Tarnowska was not a criminal, but an invalid, and he was indignant at the punish- ment inflicted upon her. With the purpose of getting before the world the trite story of this most tragic woman, he persuaded Anne Vivanti Chartres, the novelist to visit her in prison and take down from her own lips the amazing narrative of her life. This Mrs. Chartres has done, and the result is the book "Marie Tarnowska," which is soon to be published. So it is that one of the most mys- terious crimes of modern times is at last revealed in all its startling de- tails, And so, also, the life story of a beautiful woman wbo wrqught more harm than any other of her PHOSPHATE IN CANADA. ONLY ONE IN SIX CAME BACK SAFELY GLORIOUS CHARGE AT ANZAC OF AUSTRALIANS. For Sheer Self -Sacrificing Heroism No Deed in History Sur- passes It. As illustrating the difficult and desperate character of the fighting in the Dardanelles, at the same time paying tribute to the fighting quali- ties and heroism of both Australian and Turk, Captain C. E. W. Bean, official press representative with the Australian forces, sends a belated de- scription of the "glorious charge" of two Australian light horse brigades at "Anzac." The attack of these two brigades Discovery of Fertilizing Agent Near Banff, Alberta. A discovery of the highest impor- tance in connection with the future development of agriculture in western Canada has reecntly been made by officials of the Conservation Commis- sion, who report discoveries of phos- phate near Banff, in the Rocky Moun- tains National Park. While it is yet too early to state definitely, it is ex- pected the deposits will prove to.be comparable both in extent and quality with those of Wyoming, Utah, Mon- tana and Idaho, these being far greater than in any other country. Supplies of phosphate at a low price have a very important bearing upon the agricultural industry of a nation. Western Canada is naturally a farming country, but is far removed from the hitherto discovered deposits of phosphate in Canada, which are confined to the Ottawa district. Great deposits of phosphate occur in Mon- tana, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming in the United States, but these again are situated a long distance from the Prairie Provinces; again, it is doubt- ful whether supplies from the United States could always be assured, for, at a Conference of the Governors in 1908, the wisdom of permitting the exportation of so - essential a quasi - public commodity was questioned. While very little fertilizer is now being used in Western Canada, there is no doubt that the land would give an increased yield by its use; soil fer- tility would be maintained instead of being exhausted, which will be the ultimate result if the present prac- tice'is followed indefinitely. The fol- lowing example illustrates the amount of high grade phosphate rock which it would be necessary to add to the land annually as fertilizer to replace the phosphoric acid removed from the soil by the crops in the three Prairie Provinces. In 1913 there were 16,726,400 acres under cultivation in these provinces, and the depletion per acre annually is equivalent to the phosphoric acid con- tained in 60 pounds of high-grade phosphate rock. At this rate, 501,800 tons of high-grade phosphate rock would be required each year simply to offset the depletion of the land al- ready under cultivation in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and. Alberta.—W. J. D. in Conservation. Occurred at a spot where natural ob- stacles made success impossible, but the movement was regarded as ne- cessary in order to draw Turkish troops away from points where real advances could be made successfully. Only one man in six of the Austra- lians who left the trenches came back safely. "This charge differed from that of the Light Brigade," says Capt. Bean, "in that it was made by horsemen who had volunteered to fight on foot or in any other way provided they could get to the Gallipoli Peninsula and help the other Australians there. The two scaling ladders they carried with them are lying out there in the scrub about half way to the enemy trenches, and there are a number of tumbled little heaps of that dull, pea -soup colored Australian khaki, which Is the hall -mark of unrecorded heroism on every battlefield on • this peninsula. Self -Sacrificing Heroism. "You can piece together a few sim- ple deductions as to the details. There are no Victoria Crosses; there are no birthday honors; but I know just this —that for sheer self-sacrificing hero- ism there never was a deed of history that surpassed the charge which two Australian light horse brigades made in the first light of Saturday, Aug. 7, inorder to help their comrades in a critical moment of a great battle." After describing the preliminary bombardment of Turkish trenches by artillery, which lasted a half hour, Capt. Bean tells of the actual infan- try advance which really consisted of three separate'. charges on three sides of irregular-shaped ridges abreast of which the Turks had planted infantry defence works. In the first of these movements the second line men were ordered to advance two minutes after the first line, the third line , coming' along after another ten minutes. Death Awaited Them. The orders were obeyed as if by a machine, although every man knew death almost certainly awaited him , at the top of his own parapet from the machine guns of the Turks. De- scribing the Turkish fire at this poit Captain Bean says:— • "One knew nobody could live in it. Many fell back wounded before they even cleared the parapet. Others, wounded just outside, managed to crawl back before being hit a second', or third time. , Col. White had run: only ten yards before he was killed. The Turkish machine guns drew a line which none could pass, and a man who fell wounded often was hit six or eight tines more as he drop- ped through the stream of bullets. The Flag Was Raised. "It was all over, within a quarter of an hour, but in the extreme south- eastern corner of the Turkish trench there did appear for just two minutes a small flag indicating the presence there of a group of our men. Nobody saw them get there; nobody will ever know who they were or how they did it. For two minutes the flag flut- tered and then an unseen hand tore it down." After a description of similar un- successful charges on other sides of the ridges, Captain Bean concludes his story by stating that the only man who returned from the Turkish para- pet reported that the Turks there diad their packs on and were in full marching order, probably being ready to hurry off to reinforce further north when this attack in the centre delayed them. Object Was Achieved. "The Australians had, in the rich- est and fullest measure, achieved the object for which their • help had been needed at a critical point," declares the chronicler of their charge. "This place always will be sacred as the scene of two very brave deeds. The first—let us never forget,$t-was thea ' desperate attack made by the Turks across this same neck at dawn on June 30, and the second was this deed of self-sacrificing bravery which ne- ver has been surpassed in military- history—the charge of Australian Light Horse into certaiAleath at the call of their comrades' need during the crisis in :the greatest battle ever fought oil Turkish soil." Indemnity for One Crane. An indemnity of $60,000 has been paid by the German Government, through its ambassador in Madrid, for the seven Spaniards shot at Liege hi August, 1914, says the Paris Fig- aro's correspondent at Hendaye, on the Spanish frontier.
