REAL VALUE is based, not on the price paid fer & comm but on the benefit de rived. i '\y Zam-Buk is the cheapest skin healer on the market --because the benefit derived is 95% greater than can be got from ordipary ointments. This is due to the fact that Zam-Buk is all medi- cine--100%. Ordinary ointments are 5% medicine and the balance enimal fat The superiority of Zam-Puk is proved by the many eases of chronic skin trouble and old sores which yield to the power of Zam-Buk after all other treatments have failed. The unusual power of penetration which Zam-Buk possesses enables it to reach the underlying tiscves, where skin troubles have their "root." Then the germicidal pro- pertiés In Zam-Buk destroy all germs. Until this is done healing can never be thorough. The reason Why sores that have been treated with ordinary ointments break out again Is because the remedy has never got ta the seat of the trouble, but bas only healed over the outer skin. Zam-Buk, on the contrary, uproots skin disease, aud the cure is complete and permanent. Zam-Buk should always be used for eczema, ringworm, scalp sores, pimples, abscesses, ulcers, blood- poisoning, bad leg, piles, cuts, burns and scalds.

C, Hardy, the Liberal candidate for Leeds, expressed himself ready to surrender the nomination, which he received two and one-half years ago from a regularly constituted con. vention, should anyone else call one, abiding by the decision of such a body, Meanwhile he feels himself entitled to take the field as a candi- date in opposition to the Union Gov- ernment and its win-the-war policy. He takes the ground that coalition only exists in name and that in reality it is the Conservative Gov- ernment of the past. f -------------- What & crowd there would be in heaven if people could 80 on Sunday exoursions, : AR TR THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1917. [ HE retreat of the Russian armies out of Galicia and Bukowina opened up not only the gates to Podolia and Bessarabia, but, also exposed the southern part of Volbynia to inva- sion, Volbynia lies immediately east of Poland proper and Galicia. A broad, flat spur of the Carpathians Sweeps across the Galician boundary and forms a plateau in the southern part, which reaches a maximum ele- vation of 1,200 feet and slopes grad- ually toward the marshes of Pinsk and the Pripet River. This part of the province is hilly and intersected by deep river valleys, the chief river being the western Bug. Forests cover a considerable part of the area, and are exploited on a large scale, timber being extensively exported in normal times. The popu-~ lation of Volhynia is approximately 4,000,000. More than three-fourths of the inhabitants are Little Rus- slans, the other elements being White and Great Russians, Poles, Jews and Germans. The conditions of peasant ownership of land are somewhat different from those ob- tained in other parts of Russia, the Deasants owning approximately one- half, 'About 42 per cent, of the land is in the hands of private owners, Germans live on lands bought from the Russian Government, In the northern portion of the province there is little land, more thah 50 per cent, of the terri- tory being occupied by virgin forests, but in the southern part there is a considerable agricultural industry, It is said that the productive capacity of the southern region is approxi- mately 80,000,000 bushels of cereals alone. In the northern section tim- ber and firewood are exported im large quantities, together with much pitch, tar, wooden wares, etc. De- posits of lignite and coal with some graphite and kaolin are to be found. The manufacturing industries of Volhynia include sugar works, dis- tilleries, textile mills, and candle, to- bacco, glass, cloth, and agricultural implement factories. There are a number of railroads in Volhynia, one crossing it from Warsaw to Kiev, another from Lem- berg to Petrograd, and a third from Konigsburg toward Odessa.

Volbynia lies within what fg known as West Russia as distin. guished from Little Russia and South Russia lying to the south, and Great Russia which lies some hun- dred miles to the =.st, It would properly have to be entirely com- quered before a line of communica~ tion into Bessarabia and Podolia would be free from the danger of being broken by an even partially rehabilitated Russian army. The conquest of Volbynia by Germany and a successful drive on Odessa would serve to shorten the battle-fron. by several miles, giving an almost straight line from the southern shore of the gulf of Riga to the northernmost waters of the Black Sea. At present the line zigzags its way from Riga to the lower Carpathians and then fol- lows these mountains down the bor- der of Moldavia, thence east, by way of Foeshani and Galatz to the Dan- ube and the Black sea. The air line distance of a battle front between Riga and Odessa would be 75 miles. The eastern front as of August 10th Was approximately 950 miles long. The effort of the Austro-Germans to take advantage of Russian inac- tion and thus 1. shorten their battle line, while at the same time trying to possess themselves of the rieh agricultural provinées of south-west ern Russia, will probably constitute one of the most thrilling and far- reaching campaigns of the war. With Russia rehabilitated the tenuous line of communications Involved would probably insure the defeat of suth a drive, The Making of Walking-Sticks. Heat is a very important element in the manipulations of a stick- maker, and produces very different effects on the several kinds of woods, the degree of heat necessary to straighten one kind of stick being often sufficient to completely spoil another kind. The same power which makes a crooked stick straight is applied to make a straight one crooked. The rigid stems of bam- boos, partridge-canes, as well as all the various kinds of English sticks which are required to be curled or twisted, are by the application of beat made t6 assume almost any shape or form. Thus we sometimes see ladies' sunshade-handles * espec- fally those of bamboo-or-partridge- cane, twisted, and even tied inte double knots. MINING INDUSTRY GROWS, Lack of Labor is Chief Handicap to Progress How much the war has done for mineral exploitation in Canada is shown by a Government report pre- pared by the Mines Branch of the Federal Department of Mines, The figures at a glance are: Total value of production in 1916, $177,387,454. Total value of $137,169,171. Increase 29.3 per cent., 248,283. Previous highest production Canada (1913), $145,634,812, Not only tas production increased in nickel, copper, gine, 'iron, steel, and molybdenum as well as chromite and magnesite, but prices, as is well known, have never been better, Min- ing properties that béfore the war were not considered commercial pro- positions are now returning divi- dends. In all metals there has been an increase in output save in silver and lead. The purely metallic production. of the Dominion tn 1918 was ever $107,000,000, as compared with $75,800,000 in 1916, or an increase of 41.2 per cent, British Columbia hat done not- ably. In 1915 the value of her min- eral production was $28,689,425, or 20.02 per cent. of the total for the Dominion. In 1918 these figures had increased to $40,191,744, or to 22.66 per cent. of the Dominion out- put.

Suppose on the other hand you in- vested one hundred dollars in Cafiada's Victory Bonds, what would it mean to you, merely in money, at the end of four- teen years? It would mean that your hundred dollars would be just about doubled-- because every six months you would receive a sum of interest-money, which in fourteen years, if saved and com 5 at ordinary bank interest, would equal the original cost of the bond, and you would also have the bond, worth a hun- dred dollars, That is the mere dollars' and cents meaning to you of one hundred dollars invested in Victory Bonds.
