Capacity to Produce Pulp Wood in Enormous Quantities. Indications point to Canada as one of the most important pulp and paper producers of the world for many years. There in no reason, except apathy respecting five-protection in the pulp producinj^ regrions, why Can- ada should not produce perpetually a large part of tho world's paper. The large spruce forests in the oast and north including the sub-arctic forest which has value chiefly for pulp, show Canada's capacity to grow suitable wood in enormous quantities, sufficient with any kind of protection and man- Bgem'-t, to supply the d;»mand of all time. Pulp forests are, however, particularly susceptible to fire, and need careful protection. It is gratifying to see that some of the most progressive pulp companies are successfully protectiwg their lands from fire. On account of the com- paratively rapid growth of pulp tim- ber to a commercial size it appeari that pulp companies will be the first who can pi-ove that scientific forest management ia good business for a private concprn. The increasing production of pulp and paper in British Columbia con- tinues, and it is announced that the plant of the Empire Pulp and Paper Mills, at Swansoii Bay, 100 miles soutli of P*rince Rupert, will be turn- ing out chemical pulp in commercial quantities, the daily output when the plant is in full running order being between thirty-five and fosty tons.' - I MICA AXLE GREASE Makes your wagon run as if it had ball bearings.

Ono of the oldest native Matlagas- car industries is the curing and manu- facturing of silk into what is called "lambamena"; "lamba" in Miilagasy means dress shroud, or clothing, and "mena" means red. "Lambamena" is made from a heavy grey native silk principally in the Betsiico country, in the southern part of the Central Pla- teau. This material was originally used for wrapping the bodies of pro- minent natives for burial. The more celebrated or wealthy the deceased or his relatives here, the more lamba- mena wna used, but this custom is be- ing graduall^iscontinued.

Every woman at some time nocds a tonic. At special times unusual demands are made upon her strength. Where these nre added to the woiTy and work vhich falls to her lot, v/eakncss and ill healrh will follow unless the blood is fmtified to meet the strain. Weak women find in Dr. Williama' Pink Pills tho tonic e.xuctly suituil to their needs. Mff-'t of the ills from which they suffer are due to blood- lessnes.*! â€" a condition which the Pills readily cure. These pills save the girl who enters into womanhood in a bloodless condition from years of misery, and afford prompt and per- manent relief to the woman who is bloodless, and therefore weak. Mrs. Wm. H. Wagner, Ro.sonthal, Ont., writes: â€" "After the birth of my se- cond child I suffered from troubles which mo.st mothers will understand, without going into details. The doc- tor who was attfiuling me said an operation would be necessary, but as I dreaded this and as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had been of great help to my sister I decided to try this medi- cine, and 1 can truly say that after using the piils for somi; timv tliey made a complete cure and made life more enjoyable than it had been for a long time. I think every woman suffering from the ailmentH of our sex should give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial as I know from my own case the great benefit that fol- lows their use." You can gel these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at oO cents a bo.x oi- .six boxe.t for $2..')0 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockvillo. Ont. - .>. GERMANY MIST BE Ht'MliLED. American Visitor in England States Attitude of British People. The fact is that, whatever th<' Brit- ish people Ihought at the beginning of the war. they are realizing more and more, rvery day, that there is something between them and Uermany which cannot he compromised. The war began over Belgium, to be sure. There wa.s never any jingo spirit in the people, no matter what the press was saying. But very gradually the real reasons ot' the conflict began to become common knowledge. Intelli- gent people may decide that there can be no solution in the field, or that it would be belter to leave Germany and Austria intact. But the great mass of people believe that Germany has done unspeakable wrong. And they think that what they are doing i.^ an un- speakable right. They never speak of it, at any rate. But they think of it, night and day. Life goes on almost as usual, getting harder and harder, of course. But they are not flinching. The terms of peace are definite enough for the avei-age Briton. He knows what he is fighting for and he is not concerned with territorial ques- tions. He expects the .Allies to pool their demands at the end and to ad- just them. But one demand they will not adjust, because it is the same for all. That is that Germany shall not rule over central Europe, To them aad to their people the war is the sim- plest, as it is the grandest thing in the world. They do not see that Ger- many, actual or potential ruler over everything from Berlin to Bagdad, will necessarily be satisfied with what she has. Nov do they seo why they should allow the Serbs and the Croa- tlans In Hungary and the Rumanians and the Slovenes and the Lithuanians and the other subject races of Hungary to become the subject nations of the new German Empire. They really be- lieve that they are fighting for the liberty of Europe. The thing.s which were only Words in 19U are terrible actugUties now. A SUCCESSFUL SOCIETY Canadian Order Of Foresters Hoe A Splendid Fiiuincial Basi.s. The Canadian Order of Foresters which has for years occupied a pro- minent position as one of the leading Fraternal Insurance Societies operp.t- ing in Canada. Was instituted in 1879 by 488 members who seeded fnim the .'\mericnn Oi-der of ForeKters. To-day it has a membership of over 90,000, which it the largest purely ("anadian membership or uny of the fraternal insurance societies doing busines."! in the Dominion . The Society has had a most .success- ful record anJ has aecum'ilated funds, which, at tho presei,'; time, amoiirt to between five and a half and six miilion dollars. Lai-t year was apparently one of the most succr?frful years in the history of the institution. The amount added to the insurance funds for lUU) v.'as between four and live hundred thousand dollars. Notwith- standing this success the manngeraent defide<l to ascertain wlwt the actuar- ial stariiing of the Society was, and seturetl the services of one of the most competent actuaries on the Continent. -â- Veting on the advice of the actuary, the Society decided to re-adjust its rates and place itself upon a basis which will give it at leaat lOO'i. actuarial solvency By taking this course, while its funds were still piling up, it has been able to treat it» members much more favorably than uny of the societies which ha.ve re-adjuste<I their businesses during recent years. The management is to bo congratul- atud upon a course of action which will place the Society upon a splendid fin- ancial basis, and insure the future of the Order for all time. THE <^OOK-HOUSE CORPORAL. Onerous Dutieti of the Olficer Who Has Charge of Army Meals. Out of sight of tile rest of the camp, peeking with perspirsnion. htir- rying from oiie mun t.o another, urg- ing thi'm to frvsh efforts, he is always at work. Twtnty-four men, hidden in clouda of steam, half deu£ene<l by a roaring, hifising, rattling raclcet, are doing tlM>ir best. Th<Ti> is a mixture of odors. Onions fight for prece<ienco with stewed apples, boiled cabbage with rice and pattry. The floor runs with water from the stenm, grease from the cooking, and mud from the workers' boots. Hither and thither rnu the.ie men. shoutintr, swearing, and then bur. ting iJito song. Th(3 corooral hut; t;he responsibility of the oookinj;, and smiles through it all, admonishing this man, issuing an order to that one. lie possesses the deli;'htful kna-rk of being obevod without commanding. Yet this iiuiet little man bocnmes ruffled after the wtrk is finished â€" that is, after the meals are sorveti. Ignoring his own f(.od, he wnits for tho. complaints to come in. Here are a few: Ilut XI. â€" Porridge not conked, tea like washing-up water. Hut Xli. â€" Porridge over-cooked, meat like leather, tea too swoet. Hut X3. â€" Tea not sweet enough, meat too fat, not enough butter. So it goes on for half :in hour, un- til, in sheer desperation, the unfor- tunate corporal seizei- some food and rushes off to hin noisy hut to try to get a "little rest" before he is needed to prepare the next meal. AN EXCELLOT MEDICINE BATS LEAVING SHIP. Austrian imperial F'amil^ .Storing Treasures in Neutral Countries. A Swiss correspondent of the .\gen- irfa J,ibera, of gome, reports that a great sensation has been created at Vienna by revelations published in Austrian papers, to the effect tha*^ treasures and money to the ext'int of many millions of kronen, belonging to the Austrian Imperial family, huv5 been deposited in tjanks in neotral countries. The despatch declnres that the news h.TS been fully confirmed. It appears that money, va!ual)les and securities, worth more than l.">0 mil- lion kronen (over $30,000,000), be- longing to the Emperor ami certain Archdulces, have boon sent into Swit- zerland and Holland. The "Corriore d'ltalia" learns from Berlin Ihat the news has caused a very bad impres- sion even in Germany. FKNCLNG THE HIGHWAYS. They Msde Him A D^fferenJ Man What B.

In a journey to-day acros.s the Do- minion, one is imprciiood by the miles of f;\rm fencing, particularly in tho far west. It seems but a day when the vast stretches of our Western ter- ritories from Manitoba to the Coast wern one wide field. To-day, for hun- .Ireds of miles, in any du-ection you travel, railroe.d and other property is substantially fenced; it ."hows to what extent these vast areas have come under ptiltivntion either for crops or 9tn(Jf. No better evidence of sub- stantial growth could be had. It is also a tribute to the quality of fencing to be had of Canadian miinufaoturers. Why Steel Ships Float. Steel ships differ from those of wood in that their hulls are made of steel plates riveted together, instead of the old method of using wooden planiving. They are enabled to float becaubu, Ije. iiijr hollow, they have what is called bui;yancy. .V steel ship displaces a vcihime of water equal in weight t« its own. The principle of buoyancy may be tested by flouting an iron pail in u buthtubful of water. Klaara'a £lii]»«nt Curen OUMmvar. The Dififtrence.
