Penetang Holds Waublc Argus--It has been definitely decidedthat the steamer Waub1c will ,not `come to Midland next summer. A letter was received a few days ago conveying this in- formation. The matter had `been taken up by the district super, intendent, Mr. Dalrymple, and all the correspondence, together with `recommendations, submit.- ted to the General Manager. The latter in . acknowledgiiig _the same was very Inuch impressed and feltsatisfled that in the in- terest of the public and the com- pany the change should he made, but on account of war conditions he would not favor any expendi- `ture being madeeitlier by the town or company_ this year. He, however, left no doubt that as soon as conditions changed the transfer would he made. There- fore_ the matter will remain as during 1916 for next summer. A man who was in Germany from the 17th of August, 1915, until two months ago, gives to the New York `Sun a picture of conditions in Germany as he saw them; At one railway station, he says, nearly all thelwomen were inmourning, and they all looked pale and hollow-cheeked. Moat, bread, potatoes, sugarand milk can be had only by card and not. enough at that. _ Fresh eggs Werehringingas much as 2 /1C. each when he left.

Value of `Potato Peelingsv ` VVeAwould like again to draw` the attention of the citizens to the enormous waste both in ma-&_ terial and nutritive value by th(3:j peeling of potatoes before cook-l ing them,says the '].`o1`ontn`; Health Bulletin. There arel thousands of pounds of potatoes wasted every day in Toronto through the peelings. -To be convinced of `this it is only nec- essary to note the bulk of the lpeelings when you peel the pota- toes before eookingn But this is not the only waste. When peeled` potatoes are boiled in the orrlin-| ary way, there` is a loss of nitro- genolis and saline matter by extraction intovthe water, which` does not 000111` when potatoes are boiled in their skins, or ha.kerl. ! ] 1' 1 Judging from an a1`t.ic1e in the!
