Although the act came into force` only on March 23, _it has already averted on three occasions an industrial war, which, but for this act, would have engendered feeling of angry bitter- ness, would have arrested the peace- ful development of the arts of indus- try and would have left traces-e of privation and misery in the homes of thousands. Now, why should we not apply to international disputes the principle of this Canadian act, which forbids men to draw the sword until after a conference has taken place? Let the Legislatures of the world who wish to promote peace decree that it shall be illegal to fur- nish a war loan to any nation which begins hostilities without rstycom- ing to the round-table `of the Hague tribunal. - ,,,.___L._j __.

THE WORLD'S FEACE. fnoriixrbn, 1n Several vvell-known chemists, im- mediatly it was announced that Ell- more had solved Lhe problem bf ob- taining heat from ashes, set to work to try and discover the formula. They were successful, and here it is: Moisten with either salt water or saltwater in which oxalic acid has been dissolved a mixture containing one part coal and three parts ashes, and a better fuel. than pure coal is obtained. The ashes of anthracite coal burn as readily as do those of bituminous coal. This mixture will,- upon being placed upon a burning` re, fuse into a coke-like mass and deposit but little residue.` The salt water may be obtained by the dis- solution of common salt in water. The chemical ` action of this com- .pound is thus explained :--When an aqueous solution of an" alkaline salt, such as common salt, is mixed with coal ash the result is that a mild lye is formed, which,_when mixed with any combustible material, such as coal, and upon the application of heat, gives 05 oxygen gas, thus pro- moting rapid combustion.

They argued that the medicine which was so good ` for their woman- friends and neighbors was equally good for the women of the whole world. The Pinkhams had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbs were steeped on the stove, gradually lling 8 gross of bottles. Then came the question of selling it, for always before they had given it away freely. They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets setting orth the merits of the medicine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and these were distributed Ru tho Dinlrhom nnnu in Rnnfnn y`Z"" m?{1Ii1&so' ew York, and Brooklyn. The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a. great extent, self-advertising, for whoever used it re- commended it to others, and the demand gradually increased.
