SUMMER HEAT HARD ON BABY No season of the year is so danger- ous to the life of little ones as is the Bumnier. The excessive heat throws the little stomach out of order so ' quickly that unless prompt aid is at hand the baby may be beyond all human help before the mother realizes ^ he is ill. Summer is the season when j iiai-rohoea, cholera infantum, dysen- iry and colic are most prevalent. Any i >ne of these troubles may prove dead- | ly if not promptly treated. During the summer the mothers best friend ; Is Baby's Own Tablets. They regu- ; 'ate the bowels, sweeten the stomach ind keep baby healthy. The Tablets ; ire sold by medicine dealers or by â- nail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. (Villiams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. MR. BONHAM-CARTER. A SPLENDID RECORD. Most people know that the Can- adian Pacific Railway traverses over sleven thousand miles of country in Canada, encounters even tropical and arctic weathers; cuts its way through the rugged and difficult country along the shores of Lake Superior; crosses the endless prairies of the west; and finally runs through the glories of the Canadian Rockies where the road in some places has been hewn out of the mountain sides under toweriag peaks; through great canyons; and in other places tunnels and piral rails have to oe negotiated, all necessitating care in operation. But in spite of all these difficulties the Canadian Pacific has not killed a single passenger in a train accident during the past two years, which is a record Canada can place against the recent boast of the Pennsylvania Railroad not having killed a passenger in three years. Especially so when it is considered that the latter road has not the same climate conditions to face and the easy country through which it tra- 7erses. * . DE WET'S TRIBUTE TO FRENCH. Many tributes were paid to Sir John French for his brilliant work iuring the South African war, but :ould he ever be induced to confess as nuch, he would doubtless admit that 'Jiat which pleased him most was the praise bestowed upon him by the 3oers. It has been recorded that vhen towns or railway stations were captured our men would find allusions "o French chalked on the walL Thus: 'We are not fighting the English â€" ;hey don't count; we are only fighting .he 'French.' " Quite early in the campaign this Inscription was found on the walls of * Boer farmhouse: "Why are we lound to win ? Because .although we lave only 90,000 burghers, that means )0,000 generals. But the English, Jiough they have 200,000 soldiers, lave only one general â€" and he is French." That was in the days be- fore Roberts and Kitchener were on :he scene. But the Boers were not alone in 'Aeir appreciation of French. One of :he authorities of the German general staff wrote to him: "His (French's) name was one of the most dreaded by the enemy," and "he impressed his personality on the troops." The Boers were, indeed, according ;o Mr. Cecil Chisholm, M.A., in his luthentic biography of Sir John French (Jenkins), the first to admit lis superiority to the other " English )fficers if not to themselves. DeWet vas once asked in the early stages of the war how long he expected to avoid capture. He replied, with a smile, that it all depended on which general was dispatched to run him lown. When a certain name was Mentioned, the reply was, "Till eter- ity." General B was next men- tioned. "About two years," was the verdict. "And General French?" "Two weeks" admitted De Wet. 4, MISCHIEF MAKER Now Strong and Robust. An adult's food that can save a baby proves itself to be nourishing ind easily digested and good for big ind little folks. An Eastern man jays : j "When our baby was about eleven oaonths old he began to grow thin and pale. This was attributed to the heat and the fact that his teeth were com- ing, but, in reality, the poor little thing was starving, his mother's milk not being sufficient nourishment. "One day after he had cried bitterly for an hour, I suggested that my wife try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked two teaspoonfuls in half ^ cup of warm water for 5 or 6 minutes, then poured off the liquid and to it added a like amount of rich milk and a little BUgar. This baby ate ravenously. "It was not many days before he forgot all about being nursed, and has since lived almost exclusively on Grape-Nuts. To-day the boy is strong and robust, and as cute a mis- chief-maker as a thirteen-months'-old baby is expected to be. "Use this letter any way you wish, for my wife and I can never praise Grape-Nuts enpugh after the bright- ness it has brought to ouV household." Grape-Nuts is not made for a baby food, but experience with thousands of babies shows it to be among the best, if not entirely the best in use. Being a scientific preparation of Na- ture's grains, it is equally effective as a body and brain builder for grown- ups. "There's a Reason." Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor. Ont.

The engagement of Miss Violet As- quith, eldest daughter of the British Prime Minister, to her father's pri- vate secretary, Maurice Bonham-Car- ter, will raise hopes in the breasts of London dressmakers and the caterers that there will be a big wedding to produce something to remind them of the glories of other summer seasons. Miss Asquith, whose own mother died when she was a little girl, is quiet and retiring by najure, possess- ing a great deal of the solidarity and dignity of character which mark her father. Her fiance, Mr. Bonham-Car- ter, comes of an excellent family, es- tablished in the north of England for some generations, and related to that of Miss Florence Nightingale. A great deal of her wealth was be- queathed to the Bonhara-Carters, Mr. Henry Bonham-Carter, her cousin, having managed her business for many years. The Prime Minister's new son-in- law does not belong to the aristoc- racy, and therefore can hardly be ONE POUND LIFE PRESERVER. a Will Keep AHoat a Person of Average Wtlght Fear of the deadly submarine, which seems destined to continue to play its part in a long series of sea disasters, has led steamship officials ' to provide every possible safety de- 1 vice for their patrons. On many of the great liners still in service a new life preserver has been installed. This is called a kapok vest, the name being derived from its ma- , teriah | Kapok is a silky, flosslike fibre from Java of extraordinary buoyancy. One pound of this singular stviff will keep afloat and well out of water a person of average weight. j The cork life preservers now in gen- ' eral use are not only cumbersome but difficult of adjustment in a moment of panic. Those who are forced to go to sea are urged to use them, how- , ever, in addition to the new kapok ' vest. It is generally understood that the cork jacket will be soon a relic of the past, however, as the new de- vice is now recognized as the better : life preserver. !

Miss Asquith remained so long in- consolable after the death of her first fiance. Lord Archibald Gordon, a younger son of the Earl of Aberdeen, who was killed in an accident in Ire- land six years ago, and she continued her close intimacy with the Aberdeen family to such an extent, that it was taken for granted she would never marry. She has recently been in Cairo nursing her third brother, Lieut. Arthur Asquith, who was wounded in the leg during the opera- tions at the Dardanelles. Her second brother. Lord Herbert Asquith.' is home on leave from the Dardanelles, having been struck in the face by a fragment of a shell.

There is a sort of an unwritten law, often broken, that army men shall wear a moustache, naval men to be clean shaven, but, of course, in the navy especially, there are many ex- ceptions to this rule. The Worcester- shire militia claims to have been .he first English regiment to adopt the moustache, in 1798, and to have bor- rowed the idea from the Austrian ser- vice. Among the Turks, Arabs, and Per- sians the removal of the beard was, and is to-day, to a great extent, re- garded as a severe punishment and degradation. Moslems, who swear by the beard of the Prophet and their own, carry combs about with them to dress the beard. They perform this operation immediately after pr;---'rs, remaining on their knees the \>. le. The hairs that fall out are carefully preserved for entombment with their owner when he dies; he himself fre- quently depositing them in his des- tined tomb. It is customary among the Turks, too, to anoint their beards with perfume, and to smoke them with incense. Persian kings used to hfive their beards interwoven with gold thread; the Egyptians only grew beards as a sign of mourning, but sometimes wore false beards of plaited hair, which varied in size and length ac- cording to rank. Peter the Great compelled shaving in Russia, and had the beards of all whom he found wear- ing them plucked out by the root or shaved with a blunt razor. In Greece the beard was universally worn until the time of Alexander the Great, who ordered shaving so that the beards of his soldiers should not be laid hold of by their enemies in battle. In Rome the first day of shaving was regarded by the Romans as the entrance into manhood, and it was celebrated with great festivities.

"Oh, will he bite?" exclaimed one of our sweetest girls, with a look of alarm, wher she saw one of the danc- ing bears on the street, the other day. "No, hut he can hug." "Oh," she said with a distracting â-  smile, "I don't mind that." Minard's Unlmant Cores Diphtheria. Disappointed With His Dinner.

The female magistrates just §p- pointed in South Australia are being cfescribed as the first in the British Empire. Women justices, however, , were not unknown in England cen- turies ago. The Countess of Rich- mo'nd, mother of Henry VII., was a magistrate, and tried many important cases, whilst in Queen Mary's reign a Lady Barlet sat on the bench in Gloucestershire. Perhaps the most remarkable case of the kind was that of Lady Berkeley, who was given a special commission by Henry VIII. to act as judge in her own cause in the CONTAINS NO AL-UM trial of certain poachers on her estates. When a Chinaman desires to marry, his parents "intimate that fact to thj professional "match-maker," who thereupon runs through the list of her visiting acquaintances, and selects one whom she considers a fitting bride for the young man.
