» Chest Colds and Hoarseness | (uickly Rubbed Away "Nerviline" Gives Speedy Relief and Cures Over Night. Got a cold? Is your voice raspy--is your chest congested or sore?

It sinks right into the. tissues, takes out inflammation and soreness, de- stroys colds in a truly wonderful way. Rub Nerviline over the chest--rub on lots of it, and watch 'that tightness disappear. Nerviline won't blister, it sinks in too fast--doesn't simply stay on the surface like a thick, oily lini- ment would. If the throat is raspy and sore, rub it well outside with Nerviline, and use Nerviline as a gar- gle diluted with warm water. Just one or two treatments like this and your voice. and throat will be quick normal again. Just think of it--for forty years the largest used family medicine in this: country--Nerviline must be good, must quickly relieve and cure a hun- dred ills that befall every family. Try it for earache, toothache, coughs, colds, sore chest, hoarseness and mus- cular pains in every part of the body.

It is because they are not consulted in the matter of a future livelihood that so many square pegs live on in round holes. Many a young man who fails to make a footing for himself in the pro- fessional world, or the world of trade, does so because he is in the wrong en- vironment. He might have done well had he followed a different occupation, but possibly he was hurried into tak- ing the first "job" that came along, and was afterwards fearful of giving it up lest he might be stranded. There are born leaders and born followers among men, but unfortu- nately they are not always rightly placed in the world, and the real gen- erals have to take a back seat while the lieutenants rule, and in this way chaos comes, for the able lieutenant is often a very bad general. It is for parents to study the char- acters of their children and to help them, as far as possible in choosing the right profession, and concentra" ing their energies on what will <a__1pfal TO them fet the young benefit by the experi- ence of their elders, and avoid waste of time by taking up an uncongeni. . occupation that will be adherred to only for a time. The specialist always has the ad- vantage of the man who can only do the work that scores of other men can do, and it is well, therefore, to become a specialist, if possible. HARD ON CHILDREN When Teacher Has the Habit. "Best is best, and best will ever live." When a person feels this way about Postum they are glad to give testimony for the benefit of others. A school teacher writes: "I had been a coffee drinker since my child- hood, and the last few years it had injured me seriously." (Tea produces about the same effects as coffee, be- cause they both contain the drugs, caffeine and tannin). "One cup of coffee taken at break- fast would cause me to become so :nervous that I could scarcely go through with the day's duties, and this nervousness was often accom- panied by deep depression of spirits and heart palpitation. "] am a teacher by profession, and when under the influence of coffee had to struggle against crossness when in the school room. "When talking this over with my physician, he suggested that I try Postum, so I purchased a package and made it carefully according to the di- rections; found it excellent of flavour, and nourishing. . "In a short time I noticed very gratifying effects. My nervousness disappeared, I was not irritated by my pupils, life seemed full of sun- shine, and my heart troubled me no longer. ; "1 attribute my change in healt and spirits to Postum alone."

Cotton in the form of nitrocellulose is the most important component of all military propulsive explosives. Strictly speaking, the raw material used is cotton waste, or the stuff re- jected in the manufacture of cotton goods. Jute, ramie, kapok fibre, sul- phite pulp, spun cotton, and other forms of cellulose, have all been tried, but the only trustworthy material is cotton waste. According to Nature, the method of producing a satisfac- tory form of nitrocellulose from cot- ton waste is as follows: The waste is hand-picked, so-as to remove the grosser impurities. The product is combed, picked once more, and then dried. Then comes the nitration pro- cess, which consists in immersing the purified waste in a mixture composed of twenty-one per cent. of nitric and seventy-one per cent. of sulphuric acid and eight per cent. of water. Af- ter the mixed acids have acted for the required time, they are poured off, and the guncotton is washed to re- move as much of the acid as possible, and is further purified by being boiled several times in water. The boiling is of great importance, for in that part of the process the unstable-- that is, the quickly explosive--bodies produced during nitration are dis- solved or decomposed, and so leave the nitrocellulose in a condition to be safely handled. Lastly the cotton is | reduced to pulp, washed again, then partly dried, and moulded under pres- sure into the required shape. No other form of nitrated cellulose is so effective. a aN HEALTHY CHILDREN A child's health depends upon the state of his stomach and bowels. If they are kept regular and sweet the little one, is sure to be healthy. Baby's (Fn Tablets are the mother's best friend in keeping her little ones well. They act as a gentle laxative; are absolutely safe and are pleasant to take. Concerning them Mrs. David Label, Ste. Perpetue, Que., writes:-- "My baby was so troubled with consti- pation that he could not sleep day or night, I gave him Baby's Own Tab- lets and now he is a big healthy boy." The Tablets are sold by medicine deal- ers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. ea ERY THE SHIPS THAT KEEP THE SEA. British Fleet Is Always Ready for Battle. Britons had mo special need to have +hoir faith in the wmavy re-nspired. It has never been lacking. Every day of immunity from German attack by sea, says the Ayrshire (Scotland) Post, has been its warrant; every day, too, of the skulking of the enemy in the Kiel Canal. It lies there, helpless, and not a single German craft, militant or peaceful, dare ven- ture out into the blue seas. It is cheering, none the less, to read the account furnished by the accredited representative of the United States who has been permitted to vigit the British ships, and to see with his own eyes how they look, and how they fare, and how sufficient they are for their work. There are the submarine hunters. By officers and men the sub- marine is regarded as "great sport." It appeals to them. On a chart the American was shown marked points that indicated where many submar- ines were either captured, or sunk, or supposed to be sunk. The auxiliary fleet, trawlers, mine-sweepers, and other like craft, number 2,300. Out on the North Sea are the patrols, and were these to report the slightest sign of 'the enemy, the big ships are ready to respond at a moment's notice. And the big ships themselves, "the im- mense field of grey shapes at anchor in precise order, which as one drew nearer became line after line of Dreadnoughts!" As compared with some of the later monsters, the Queen Elizabeth, home from the Dardanelles, looked small. In her place in what is called "The Cat Squadron," lay the Tiger, the same Tiger that the Ger- mans claim to have sent to the floor of the North Sea. And overhead sailed the seaplanes keeping guard over the monsters dozing at their an- chor chains. Sir John Jellicoe, with his telescope under his arm, Beatty, Sturdee, and the rest of the squadron commanders, impressive in their youth, and all of unslacking vigilance, the bluejackets healthier than they were in peace times and constantly kept up to the mark in drill and in shooting, and in readiness for action at a moment's notice--all combine to make complete a satisfying picture. And from Jellicoe down they are all agreed that, if ever Germany had a chance on the North Sea, she has none now. It is Britannia that rules it. It is Britannia that keeps the sea. Germania sees to thé canal. i PEERS | BO Miss Bossip--"Mrs. Fewyears tells me she wasn't 16 when she was mar- ried." Miss Telltale--"Well, I should say she wasn't. She was 29."

Brigadier McKenzie, of the Salva- tion Army, who is one of the chap- lains with the Australian forces at the Dardanelles, has frequently been under fire. He conducted the burial service at the interment of Colonel Onslow Thomson's remains. "It was very gratifying to find our colonels body," he writes. "We buried it at nine o'clock, after dark, as it lay in an exposed position. I had to kneel down and keep my head and body in a crouching position while reading the burial service. Hundreds of bullets swept over us while this was going on." Alcohol Gives Way to Tea. The restriction of the sale of spirits in England has resulted in a greatly increased consumption of tea, and even though the new laws regarding the use of alcohol should be relaxed after the war a large percentage of people will have acquired a, perman- ent taste for nature's stimulant--tea. Undoubtedly the consumption of tea is increasing throughout the world, and will continue to increase at a greater rate during the next few years, and until the supply can cope with the demand uiigher prices for tea must be expected.

All that is necessary is to moisten a cloth with strong salt water and keep it over the top of the flowerpot. The ends' should drop down into a soup dish or basin in which the flowerpot should stand. This draining dish must be kept full of water all the time. A dark, cool pantry is a good place in which to keep the clay pot or jar. Another way is to wrap a layer of burlap round a porous jar. The wa- ter is placed in the jar and exposed to a current of air on a dark window sill, with the windows open and the shutters closed. The water inside the porous receptacle percolates in a mi- croscopic moisture to the outer sur- face. The burlap wrapping maintains such a slow rate of evaporation that the pot is kept cold, and that cools the contents.
