Put yourself in top-notch con- dition by eating Shredded Wheat Biscuit, a food that supplies the greatest amount of body-building material with the least tax upon the digestion.

Made in Canada when I saw him brought in yesterday evening he was still wearing them. I gathered from these oflficers they were rather surprised that we have done as much as we had, and that our troops were as good as they are and our artillery so accjjrate. I asic- c'd what they thought of the present situation. They said, "Yes, you have won five kilometres, but it is a hun- dred miles from here to Brussels; but you will get no further." They were very much concerned as to whether there was any danger of being tor- Dedoed when they were going over to England, as they heard that very few boats ever got across. I told them they might get across safe, but in all probability they would be sent to the Isle of Man, in which case there was a very good chance of go- ing under. They replied, "Isn't there a signal given on the steamer that it is carrying German prisoners?" which I thought was rather priceless.

An officer writing from the front says: Yesterday morning Pozieres fell in- to our hands, after a terrific bomb- -firdment during the night. I never heard anything like it for intensity, although it did not last as long as some of the others I have heard. The Austrialians who were here the other day in the village took the place with- out great loss. I had a long conversation with two officers who were taken prisoners and were in the prisoners' cage before going back behind the line. Bpth of them looked rather dilapidated,* but the men, about 90 of them, were fair- ly fine specimens, but the officers told me that they were mostly machine gunners and picked men. . Although much on their dignity, one of the officers admitted that we had done well, but he excu.setl himself by say- ing that the Australians were so fresh that it was impossible to expect his war-weary ;:ien to hold out against them. He also admitted that the Aus- tralians were "very brave and fear- less men." "They seem to have no fear of death," he said. What seemed to stick most in this officer's gizzard was the fact that he was shut up in the same cage as his men, although there was a piece of wire between them; also that his position was so terribly uncomfort- able. He said; "I am not used to sleeping in the open. Officers al- ways sleep in houses with us!" So I reminded him it was war time. He replied, "Yes, yesterday I was a gentleman; to-day I am a monkey be- hind iron bars." True, thsy were not very comfortable, as they had to lie on some chalky ground alongside of a siMiken road. I could not help smiling myself at their lack of hiitnor and absurd opin- ion they had of themselves. Just pic- ture these two German officers any- thing but smart â€" in fact, very be- draggled after two days without a shave or wash â€" one in dark green uniform, the other in a Prussian blue uniform, with his long blue coat look- ing very dirty and worn and he him- self most bedraggled. Then, to crown all, he was wearing a rather light pair of kid gloves, which seemed to give him an almost comedian's touch, so absurd did gloves appear in his present suiroundings. I felt almost sorry for him, he looked so ridiculous and yet so much on his dignity. He seemed to cling to his gloves as an emblem of respectability, because PAYING $1,000,000 A DAY. What British Are Allowing for De- pendents of Soldiers. One million dollars a day. That is what the British Government is now paying out to the wives and other dependents of soldiers ser\ing in the army. One million dollars a day or $365,- 000,000 a year, paid out exclusively to the families at home of soldiers fighting at the front. And this amount is entirely independent of the regular pay allotted to the soldier himself, the cost of his equipment and all the other expenses incidental to hs support. Enormous as it is, this amount represents merely a fraction of what the British Government is actually doing for those who have joined the colors. LABOR ADVISER WILL BE USEFUL 1-Qil' M l M.

Mothers who keep a box of Baby's Own Tablets in the~house may feel that the lives of their little ones are reasonably safe during the hot weath- er. Stomach troubles, cholera infan- tum and diarrhoea carry off thous- ands of little ones every summer, in most cases because the mother does not have a safe medicine at hand to give promptly. Baby's Own Tablets cure these troubles, or if given occa- sionally to the well child will prevent their coming on. The Tablets are guaranteed by a government analyst to be absolutely harmless even to the new-born babe. They are especially good in summer because they regu- late the bowels and keep the stomach sweet and pure. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from JThe Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. ♦ ENGLISH MANSIONS SOLD. Some of the Noted Old Castles Are Changing hands. The old boast that visiloi-s from abroad going to ISnglaiid after a lapse of twenty years would flud their old friends established in the same old homesteads Is vanishing in the war, along with many other traditions. Kstates are changing hands with startling rapidity every week, bring- ing new uniRuiiioenients in which town and country houses long associated with their owners are offered in the public mart. In former years many .such sales would be made privately. They are now too numerous, as a rule, for the agents to handle in any but public fashion, knocking the bargain down to the highest bidder at auction. One of the most recent sales is that of Pennsylvania Castle, Portland, where a splendid collection of por- traits, autographs, manuscripts, and books belonging to the family of Wil- liam Penn had been housed. In the grounds of Pennsylvania ("aslle were the Norman ruins figuring in Thomas Mardy's novel, "The Well Beloved." The estate was bought by T. J. Tern- pieman, of Weymouth, for $29,7,50.

A treaty belt, the original one presented by the Indians to William Penn and made up of eighteen strings of wampum, brought $430. .Vnotlier treaty belt, the second one given to William Peun by the Indians, brought $350.

These include the Dropping Well at Knares- borough, where, thy water possesses petrifying properties ; Eugene Aram's Cave, Mother Shipton's Cave, and St, Uobert's Chapel. The Slingsby case Is now in the hands of the House of Lords.

Women Are Doing Their Share These Trying Times. Before the war there were five million, five hundred women wage earners in Great Britain; to-day there are said to be over ten million. Five million men have enliated for active service, and a woman has taken the place of evei7 able-bodied man who might have been engaged in peace- ful occupations. England has never been so busy a manufacturintf and industrial country as she is in 1916, but this would never have been pos- sibie if women had not stepped into the breach. In Canada there is not the same supply of surplus available women, so that in this respect Canada has not experienced so great a revolu- tion in industrial life, but many new occupations are being opened to Canadian women, and the de- mand for women workers in factor- ies and in the great industrial life of the railways is steadily on the increase If Sir Robert Borden is to secure his 500,000 Canadian sol- diers, 100,000 women must tempor- arily step into the shoes of men so that the latter may be released for service, as the limit of available men seems almost to be reached. Women are already working along- side of men in sacking and hauling of grain at the Great Lakes eleva- tors, in the Canadian Pacific yards and shops where they are cleaning cars, in the telegraph services and in many clerical positions hither- to held by men. They are acting in some places as Station Agents with satisfaction to their employers. But Canadians who visit England are sur- prised to find women ticket inspect- ors and guards, women as elevator attendants, women as chauffeurs, and train conductors, women as red caps, porters and ticket clerks, women as locomotive cleaners and track greas- ers.

Orchard of 4,0CO Trees Planted in Fifteen Days, .New methods of using dynamite are being constantly devised, .\mong the most novel of these is its application iu the planting of tres. There was an apple orchard of 4,000 irees to be planted, ami as winter was approaching no time could be lost, for fear a sudden turn in tem- perature should freeze the ground. The man who undertook the work first mounted a two and oiie-half-horse- power gasoline engine on the running gear of a light wagon and arranged it to operate a soil auger. With this out- fit two men were able to put down as many holes in a day as 30 men could have punched with a bar and sledge. In these holes light charges of dyna- mite were exploded to form an exca- vation in which to plant trees, a num- ber of holes being fired at a time. Uy this method the entire orchard was planted in less than 15 days of nine houi-s each. and rpcfl-. p ;ia- '.I'lille ieurnlnff The Beth laraol Hospl'al of ITew York Oliy Pounded IBDO AcMjradiUKl oy tti ?.ww V.in -^tat* i;-.ic«tl(.ii Utyi. i''ffer» • twtr»ud"i.e-hfc f yttz ccuk* i tmliui g tut nurw« Willi •.; waiiCf fcif^ m»*t.t«iij.litc- Ai^-ii-iDt. miirt btTe â- mi, year lii«ii whiiil liT*iTt:oit--u t III MlucB«l"tml tqii vnU-iit F.'f int'if 'I'.'.tfi &-MrM» B«tb rtr»el Hii»pi*ii , W .tffti rpi.u i^t .

This, say the naturalists, is the rea- son: Cocoanuts generally grow at the edge of seas or rivers, and a good many of the nuts as they become ripe fall into the water The nuts are cov- ered with a thick husk, whch has a waterproof covering, so that they will float. As they lloat the three eyes, which are all at one end of the nut, are always on top. Once in the water, nature goes to work. From one of the eyes there comes a shoot that sends forth broad leaves that act as sails. The wind catches these sails and wafts the cocoanut on a journey that may be many miles long. .\s it sails the other two eyes send out roots, which at first grow among the fibre of the woody husk. In time the cocoanut is swept on another shore, perhaps on another island. The roots embed themselves in the soft earth the sail becomes the trunk and very shortly a thrifty cocoanut palm is growing where none grew before.
