v) Join the Home Defence movement for the conserva- tion of food. Help to pre- vent waste by demanding the whole wheat grain in break- fast foods and bread stuffs. Substitute whole wheat for meat, eggs and potatoes. The wJvDle wheat grain is the most perfect food given to man. In Shredded Wheat Biscuit you have the whole wheat grain made digestible by steam-cooking, shredding and baking. Every particle of the whole wheat grain is used including the outer bran coat which is so useful in keeping the bow- els healthy and active. For any meal with milk, and fresh fruits. Made in Canada. PATRIOTS ENFORCED. Women of Russia Exercised Compul- sion in Regard to Deserters. When, during the immense and be- wildering confusion of the Russian revolution, many hundred soldiers de- serted, not from disloyalty, but mere- ly because they wished to go home and see their families, they did not al- ways meet the reception they expect- ed. The women were no less weary of the war than they; but they had sometimes a clearer idea of the nece-s- slty of continuing it, czar or no czar, than had their men. -There were fairly numerous instances when the men re- turned to duty in abashed squads un- der the escort of an Amazonian guard of village maids â-  and matrons; oc- casionally a lone husband would be marched back under the sole but suf- ficient compulsion of a resolute wife. The influence of women has always been important in holding the soldiers of a nation to llieir duty, or discourag- ing them from It. Usually it has re- mained influence merely, and has not become compulsion. Sometimes it has been exerted in a manner halfway be- tween the two. In the days of the American Revolu- tion there was a patriotic matron of New England whose husband did not volunteer when his neiglibors did. He gave his "pindiing" liesilth and feeble constitution as an excuse. He was, in- deed, a' slight and small man, but tough and wiry, and better able to en- dure the hardships of war than many bigger men, a? his spduse well knew. But she did not remonstrate or shame him in the community by expressing her opinion. Instead, she devoted her attention to his diet. If he wore not a well man, he ought not to eut like one, she decided; and she reduced his rations to such as befitted an invalid. In vain he protested that he required extra nourishment; ilie hotter and angrier he got, the more firmly she in- sisted that he was feverish and cho- leric, and that a light diet was the thing for him, with nothing solid or heavy or rich. In fact, his diet grew daily lighter and lighter. First, dough- nuts disappeared from his breakfasts, then flapjacks and cake from his sup- pers, finally even meat from Uls din- iiers â€" and at that he gave In and en- listed. He proved to be a good soldier, who was never sick, and recovered with unusual rapidity from the two honor- able wounds that he received. Owing to his littleness and leanness and to a gradual leaking out of the story of how he came to join the army, he bore tnrough hlb military career and ever afterwards a nickname, which after the first he accepted without resent- ment, and to which he answered quite as a matter of course. He was known us Starveling Jones. THE FROST KING. The Frost King is surely coming, Hi.s spies are throughout the land; I can trace their stealthy footprints As I look on every hand.

The island has normally a population of 1824 persons, but most of the men are in the United States, where they work as waiters. The custom of the island for many years has been for the young men to marry the girls they love best and then after a brief honeymoon, go to America to make their fortunes, re- turning in a few years to their brides. During this period of the absence of the huiband, it Has become a custom ! for their wives, women traditional for their beauty, never to talk to men. It is the business of the older women to' watch over the young wives, and when strange men appjoach, as had hap- pened frc(iuently .since the war, they are met with a shower of stones. i â- > I Htnaril'i ^inlmant Cores DandmS.
