A FAVORITE WITH THE GREEKS.

Bloodless Victories.
A WAR BALANCE SHEET,
An Open Letter to German Citizens
and Workers.
The Telegraaf, Amsterdam, pub.
Helms particulars of a remarkable
brochure that has appeared in Ger-
many. It is entitled "People of Ger-
many, Awake! --Ass Open Letter to
German Citizens and Workers." The
author is Dr. Hermann Roesemaier.
The Telegraaf says it has been assur-
ed that in Aix-la-Chapelle alone 5,000
copies of the brochure are in circula-
tion. The author states that he was
political editor of the Berliner. Mor-
genpost until September, 151:4, when
he quarelled with Herr Rudolf Cuno,
chief editor, who declared that he
who does not help to deceive the peo-
ple is . a rascal. The author further
states that both Cuno and Georg
Bernhard, manager of the Vossische
Zeitung, explicitly admitted that
Germany provoked the war in. order
to gain the hegemony of Europe.
The Telegraaf translates some
passages of the brochure, in which it
is said that in informed circles the
truth is known and the German
ought to know it. There are at least
1,250,000 dead, about 750,000 prison-
ers, deserters, and missing, and about
3,000,000 wounded, of whom about 1,-
000,000 are condemned to incurable
mutilation. That is the bloody bal-
ance sheet of war for Germany to-
day. Concerning those sick they are
silent. Their number eludes all com-
putation, but it is certainly enormous.
Although one hears little about
him, there is no doubt that Sir
Francis Elliot, who has been Minis-
ter at Athens since 1903, haswon
many bloodless victories for the al-
lies during, the troublous times in
Greece. A quarter of a century's ex=
perience in the Balkans—for Sir
Francis was at Sofia before he be-
came Minister at Athens—has enabl-
ed this clever diplomatist to render.
inestimable service to the country.
He has had the advantage of being a
great favorite with the Greeks, for
he lived among them during the last
two Balkan wars, and helped them to
become a farmore powerful nation
than they were when he was first
appointed Minister at the Greek capi-
tal.
Sir Francis, who, by the way, was
born in the old Legaton House at the
Hague, entered the Diplomatic Ser-
vice when he was twenty-three, as at-
tache at Constantinople. At Eton
and Oxford he earned a big reputa-
tion as an athlete and oarsman. He
rowed in the Eton eight for four
years, while at Oxford his boat be-
came head of the river.
A tall, clean-shaven man, he re-
minds people in many ways of the
famous Foreign Secretary, although
he is not quite so reserved. Indeed,
Sir Francis, when he can put his
diplomatic duties behind him for the
time being, is one of the most enter-
taining of men, and he particularly
likes to tell his favorite story of the
guide who was showing an American
gentleman round the tombs in St.
Paul's.
"That, sir," said the guide, "his the
tomb of the greatest 'ero Europe or
the world ever knew Lord Nelson's.
That marble sarcophagus • weighs
forty-two tons. Hinside that is a
steel receptacle weighting twelve tons,
an inside that is a leaden casket
n'ermentically sealed,' weighing two
tons. Hinside that is a mahogany
coffin 'oldin' the hashes of the great
naval 'ero."
"Wal," said the Yankee, after a few
LORD PALMERSTON'S DINNER.
Eighty -Year -Old Englishman's Bill of
Fare.
In these days when Metchnikoff's
death sets everybody to talking about
lactic acids and Bulgarian ferments as
the only diet for the aged, it may be
reassuring to glance at the dinner of
an Englishman 80 years old. Here is
his bill of fare : "He ate for dinner
twoplates of turtle soup ; he was
then served very amply to a plate of
cod and oyster sauce ; he then took a
pate ; afterward he was helped to two
very greasy looking entrees ; he then
dispatched a plate of roast mutton ;
there then appeared before him the
largest, and, to my mind, the hardest
slice of haul that ever figured on the
table of a nobleman, yet it disappear-
ed just in time to answer the inquiry
of his butler, 'Snipe, my lord, or
pheasant ?' He instantly replied
'Pheasant,' thus completing his ninth
dish of meat at that meal."
This was Lord Palmerston, who lived
and worked like a horse till he was 81
(thus beating Metchnikoff by ten
years), and would doubtless have
poured scorn upon the scientific slops
and gruels offered to old men in our
day. Palmerston was one that- was
nourished by his vi'tuals and .would
fain have meat.

SAVE THE CHILDREN.
Mothers who keep a box of Baby's
Own Tablets in the house may feel
that the lives of their little ones are
reasonably safe during the hot weath-
er. Stomach troubles, cholera infan-
tum and diarrhoea carry off thous-
ands of little ones every summer, in
most cases because the mother does
not have a safe medicine at hand to
give promptly. Baby's Own Tablets
cure these troubles, or if given occa-
sionally to the well child will prevent
their coming on. The Tablets are
guaranteed by a government analyst
to be absolutely harmless even to the
new-born babe. They are especially
good in summer because they regue
Iate the bowels and keep the stomach
sweet and pure. They are sold by
medicine dealers or by mail at 25
cents a box from The. Dr. Williams

Importance of Conserving the
tility of Our Soil.
The soil is the one great factoral
foundation not only of agriculture
but of the nation's welfare, hence it
is practically' impossible to spend an
excess and care on its cultivation and
preservation. Therefore any knowl-
edge that results from experience is
of the greatest value. A deal of in-
formation acquired from such experi-
ence in Bulletin No. 27, second series,
entitled "Soil Fertility, its economic
maintenance and increase," just is-

ANGELS UNAWARES.
Women Are Daing Their Share These
Tryii Times.
Before the war there were five
million, five hundred women wage
earners in Great Bi:itain; to -day there
are said to be over ten million. Five
million men have enlisted for active
service, and a woman has taken the
place of every able-bodied man who
might have been engaged in peace-
ful occupations, England has never.
been so busy a manufacturing and
industrial country as she is in 1916,
but this would never have been pos
Bible if women had net stepped into
the breach.
In Canada there is not the same
supply of surplus available women,
so that in this respect Canada has
not experienced so great a revolu-
tion in industrial life, but many
new occupations are being opened
to Canadian women, and the de-
mand for women workers in factor-
ies and hi the great industrial life
of the railways is steadily on the
increase If Sir Robert Borden is
to secure his 500,000 Canadian sol-
diers, 100,000 women must tempor-
arily step into the shoes of men
so that the latter may be released
for service, as the limit of available
men seems almost to be reached.
Women are already working along-
side of men in sacking and hauling
of grain at the Great Lakes eleva-
tors, in the Canadian Pacific yards
and shops where they are cleaning
cars, in the telegraph services and
in many clerical positions hither-
to held by men. They are acting in
sense places as Station Agents with
satisfaction to their employers. But
Canadians who visit England are sur-
prised to find women ticket inspect-
ors and guards, women as elevator
attendants, women as chauffeurs, and
train conductors, women as red caps,
porters and ticket clerks, women as
locomotive cleaners and track greas-
ers.

tion." "There is no country," he
avows, "better provided than Canada
in this respect." Regarding manure,
two important facts to be remember-
ed, are where it is not at once utiliz-
ed by being put into the oil, or on to
the soil, one-third of its initial value
fs'lost, and that the loss is least where
.the manure is kept compact and pro-
tected from rain.
IEeCREAM PARLOR CARS ON
� THE C.P.R.
t' --
The Ice Cream Parlor plays such
an important part in the life of peo-
ple that Dr. W. A. Cooper, of the
Canadian Pacific Dining Car Service,
has decided to incorporate it into rail-
way travel and has initiated what
may be called the Ice Cream Parlor
Car on the chief trains between Mont-
real and Ottawa, that is to say on
the trains which carry a Buffet -
Library -Observation -Parlor -Car. It
is now possible on such cars to ob-
tain soft drinks, ice -creams and sun-
daes, and though the service has been
in existence only a few days, its pop-
ularity has been so pronounced that
it will no doubt be extended to other
services in the near future.
AS OLD AS THE WORLD.
Long Known in Europe in Form of
Sporadic Epidemics.
"Infantile paralysis, the appearance
of which in France seems to be
feared," says Professor Arnold Net-
ter, a member of the Academy of
Medicine, and an authority on the
partment at the capital. Dr. Shutt dis, "is ' a malady as old as the
sounds an intensely practical note of world and which has long beenolknown
warning when he argues that we have Iin the form of Sporadic epidemics,
been terribly wasteful of plant food "ffecting adults as well as children.
and that every effort should be made
to maintain and increase the fertility
of our soils, and, by more rational,
methods, endeavor to put a stop •to
that waste. While the warning is
directed to the Northwest, "where
farming has been likened to mining,"
Ontario and Eastern Canada genes;
ally are summoned to account. In
brief, a change is called for from ex-
tensive to intensive far'miug, the les-
son that it is sought to convey being
that there is more profit in high til-
lage and conservation in cultivation
than in methods of mere routine.
Having gone minutely into the pro-
perties, necessary treatment and ap-
plication' of, farmyard manures, the
doctor supplies a table giving the ap-
proximate composition of manure
(fresh) from various animals, de
scribes the manurial value of clover,
the component elements and bene-
ficial influence exercised by fertiliz-
ers, and refers to the places occupied
by wood ashes and seaweed as potas-
sic fertilizer. He goes into the vir-
tues of gypsum and nitrate of soda
as indirect potash fertilizer, conclud-
ing in an instructive review of the
chief means by which the productive-
ness of the soil may be increased and
preserved, by urging farmers to make
greater use of the various; means and
agencies provided by the governments

"It exists now in England and
France. Thousands of persons were
affected by the disease in Sweden in
1905; and France, suffered he its turn
in 1909 and 1'010; and, even as late as
1914."
As to the treatment of the disease,
Professoii"Netter „ says
"Beginning in 1910, we employed
injection's of a serum derived from
subjects who had been previously of
fected with the: disease, and the re-
sults were excellent wherever the
subject could be treated at the outset
of the attack. The use of serf. m may
bo considered as capable of arresting
the progress and even of causing a
disappearance of paralysis already
developed."
How Many Can Answer This ?
"I say exactly what I think," ex-
claimed the vociferous man:
"How interesting!" exclaimed Miss
Cayenne. "Do you think of what you
say before you say it or do you ad-
mire the way it sounds and then think
it ?"
