Hard to Drop Meat? All depends on what you eat as a substitute. It is a good time to study "food value." You may be eating the wrong foods, the foods that cost most and give the least nutriment. Shredded Wheat Biscuit contains more real, body-building nutriment, pound for pound, than meat, eggs or potatoes and costs much less. Two of these Biscuits with milk and a little fruit make a nourishing meal at a cost of a few cents. Make Shredded Wheat your "meat." A satis- fying breakfast on which to start the day's work.

W. 1 .: I BOCHE A PSYCHOLOGIST. | Changes His Tactics to Suit Racial Tendencies of Opponents. The Boche is a psychologist. Not a very good one â€" but in his fighting on the western front he makes good use of a certain insight into the dif- ferent racial characteristics of the English and the French. A British military expert points out the differ- ence in the ways the (Germans meet the offensives of the two countries in the following way. "When the Briti.sh hammer a cer- tain sector into pulp and then launch an attack," he said, "the German generals withdraw all but a few ma- chine gunnel's from the first line trenches, leaving these to hold out as long as possible and face certain death or capture. They know that the British are going to get to their objective. "The main body of the men are rushed back to reserve trenches in the rear, where they prepare for a counter-attack. They feel fairly cer- tain that the British will reach their objective, consolidate it and stay there. "On the other hand, against the French, they .adopt just the opposite tactics. They crowd just as many men as possible into the front lines. Machine gunners, bombers and rifle- men are packed in like sardines. "They adopt this course because they appreciate the Latin tempera- ment of the average Frenchman. They know that if they can admin- ister a severe check early in the fighting the French will fall back, while if the tricolor once gets through it's quite likely to sweep on to a tremendous victory." CHINA, PRINTING PIONEER. | Movable Type Devised by Oriental Blucksriiith in Ele>enth Century. Those who believe printing to have been invented in Europe during the fifteenth <'entii?y may have been sur- prised to read of Cambridge Univer- sity having acquired "the works of the Chinese philosopher, Liu Tsung Yuan, jprinted in ll(i7." China has betn credited with anti- cipating not a few modern inventions, but her claim to have discovered the art of printing centuries before its adoption in Europe is beyond dispute. An edition of most of the Chinese classics was printed by means of wood blocks in -A-.D. 922, and movable type is said to have been devised by a blacksmith. Pi Shing, in the eleventh century.

ANY CORN -f^ NERVOUS AILMENTS Pew people realize that nervous ailments often arise from digestive troubles. The stomach fails, for some reason, to digest food properly. Then the system languishes and the nerves become exhausted In striving to con- tinue their work. Impure blood also [ causes nerve troubles, but frequently It is in the stomach where the mis- chief starts. As the nourishment is carried to the nerves by the blood, it will l>e seen what "sin Important con- ; nectlon exists between the stomach, the nerves and the blood, and how such troubles as nervous headaches, ' nervous dyspepsia and insomnia may begin. j In such cases relief la easily obtain- ' able by means of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills replenish the blood with the food elements on which tha nerves thrive; at the same time they exercise a tonic Influence on the di- gestive organs, enabling the system to derive nourishment from the food tak- i en. By this perfectly natural process nervous Ills are steadily dispelled by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. If you are suffering from nerves, or require a blood-making tonic, give these pills a fair trial, and .see how speedily the 'â-  best of health will be yours. I You can got these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brock ville, Ont.

More Than Four Million Dollars Dam- age From Trifling Causes. i A man dropped a lighted match on the shore of Kalamalka Lake, British Columbia, on July 8th last. Within an hour a hot fire was racing through the underbrush. For three weeks after that there raged a series of fore.st fires, defying the organized efforts of hundreds of men. ' At one time, 26 fire fighters were ringed about with flames while their relatives, shut off from them and help- : less to aid, awaited news in terrorized suspense. Only after severe suffering from exhaustion, thirst and hunger did the band of workers force their way through to safety. ! "That experience is a big price to . pay for one person's foolLsh act in handling matches in a forest. The ! court fined the careless man $50 but' that does not help the province to bear the enormous loss. One lighted match dropped on one inch of inflammable ground expanded into fifteen miles of ruin. In the Spruce Valley fire of British Columbia of the same month, eleven nj^n lost their lives, most of them tortured to death as they struggled over the mountain tops. The fuse to that disaster was supplied by a small piece of lighted tobacco carelessly thrown on the grassy floor of a tent. Four out of five tragic holocausts could be avoided if every Canadian camper and fisherman kept vigilant watch on his own pair of hands, and every settler kept a tight rein on his clearing fires. It does not cost five cents or five minutes to put out a camp fire or a cigarette or a match, but it costs the people of Canada four or five million dollars a year to par- tially overtake the timber damage cau.sed by runaway flames. C^ • "When you have read you carry away with you a memory of the man himself; it is as though you had touched a loyal hand, looked into bravo ayes and made a noble friend." â€" Stevenson. torpedoed the Lusitania sunk a ship already doomed, according to a state- ment made on October 11th at police headquarters in New York by Martin Ilsen, a German lawyer, editor of a department in the New York Herald. Ilsen has been in the United States twenty years and is still a German subject. He admitted he was connect- ed with three men arrested and charg- ed with conspiracy to plant bombs on ships bound from New York to allied ports in 1915 and early in 191(). Ilsen's story indicates that the Lusitania when she left New York carried in her hold nine T.N.T. bombs, timed to go off when the big liner was nearing the coast of Ireland. Con- spirators evidently figured that the Lusitania would travel faster than she did, for the bombs had not worked when she was torpedoed off Kinsale Head, on the south coast of Ireland. Dr. Karl Schimmel, who had a law office in New York in 1915 and 1916, and is now believed to be in Germany, was in charge of placing bombs on i steamships according to information ! in the hands of Captain Tunney, head of the New York police department j bomb squad. | Ilsen told Captain Tunney that he j was in Schimmel'a office when news came in that the Lusitania had been sunk by a torpedo. Schimmel, ac- cording to Ilsen, wept, tore his hair, and stamped up and down the room. "The fool!" shouted Schimmel. "He has ruined my work. I had nine 'cigars' planted on the Lusitania and they would have destroyed her before she had reached Liverpool." A T.N.T. bomb was called by the conspirators a "cigar."

I, She Loved Ferment. A little schoolgirl was told by her teacher to write the word "ferment" on her slate together with the defini- tion and a sentence in which the word was u.sed. The following is the re- sult: "F-e-r-m-e-n-t; a verb signify- ing to work . I love to do all kinds of fancy ferment." BUnard'a Liniment Curea Diphtheria. A Large Edition.

Apply a few drops than lift corns or calluses off with fingers â€" no pain. â€" o â€" o â€" o â€" oâ€" Just think! You can lift off uny corn or cal- lus without pain or sore ness. A Cincinnati man dis- covered this ether com- pound and named it freezone. Any drug- gist will sell a tiny bot- tle of freezont, like here shown, for very Ijttio cost. You apply a few drops directly upon a tender corn or callu.--. Instantly the soreness disappears, then short- ly you will find the con; or callus so loose tha' you can lift it right off Freezone is wonder ful. It dries instantly It doesn't eat away the corn or callus, but shrivels it up withou' even irritating the surrounding skin. Hard, soft or corns between the toes, as well as painful calluses, lift right off. There is no pain before or after- wards. If your druggist hasr freezone, tell him to order a .'-^mall bot- tle for you from his wholesale drug hcuse.

Often it is necessary to lower the shades when the windows are open, which causes a constant flapping. I remedied this in a simple, inexpen- sive, yet effective way. I got some small screw eyes and fastened one on each end of the lower shade stick, one on the top and one on the bottom on each side of the window easing. Then I fastened thin cord to the bottom eye- let, ran it through the shade eyelet and fastened it to the top screw eye. If this is done on each side of the shade the window can be left wide open and the shade will stay where you want it. This does not interfere with the raising and lowering of the shade, and if the cord is purchased the same color as the woodwork it will bo unnoticeable.
