B. S. Perrin & Company Limited LONDON - CANADA What It Costs Britain to Keep Up a Dreadnought. Every time a big gun is fired, $1,- 500 goes in smoke and a splash, and there are 372 such guns in the British British Home Fleet. Torpedoes cost ten times as much, but they have the advantage . from the taxpayers' point of view, that they can be picked picked up again after they 7 have been fired in practice. Many of the big ships burn oil fuel as an auxiliary to their coal, or at least are fitted for that purpose, but there are 127 'torpedo craft beside beside the submarines which burn oil fuel alone. In the aggregate their tanks and double bottoms can accommodate accommodate 10,315 tofis of fuel, for which Britain ha-s to pay $25 a ton. Coal is not so expensive, but it does not go so far. If the twenty- seven Dreadnoughts now in . full commission were sent on an eight- hours' full-power coal-burning run they could consume 4,320 tons of fuel, ' running up a bill of some $15,000. If a -single Dreadnought battle squadron of eight ships were ordered ordered to steam at full speed for twenty- four hours and to fire each gun and each torpedo-tube once, the cost to the nation would be approximately $1,000,000, allowing nothing for the depreciation of material. Take Notice. A specialist claims to be able to make hair grow on a bald head by rubbing it frequently with a Turkish Turkish towel. It is barely possible that fuzz off the towel has given him false encouragement The prisoner of war has been a conspicuous figure in the news that has come from, the seething caldron of Europe within the last few weeks. If the reports that passed the censor be true, many thousands of prisoners prisoners have been taken from the contending contending armies by their adversaries. For them the average Canadian, reading the war .news in the comfort of his security, from .-the-great, conflict, conflict, has felt perhaps a grain of sorrow and wondered vaguely the horrors that befell them after capture. capture. Recently the German War Department Department sent broadcast a -statement that 30,000 Russians had been taken prisoners by the German soldiers after heavy battles in East Prussia, Prussia, particularly around Ortelsburg, Hohenstein and Tannenburg. The statement mentioned the fact that among the prisoners were many Russian officers of high rank. What is done with these prisoners, how they are handled and treated and whether high officials are punished punished more severely than mere privates privates are questions frequently asked asked by readers of the war news and seldom answered, for the. procedure followed in such matters is but little known; International Law. The international laws of warfare, embodied in The Hague conventions, conventions, the Geneva convention and the Declaration of London, contain provisions that provide expressly what manner of treatment shall" be accorded prisoners of hostile nations nations who are taken in battle.. If these provisions of international law are lived up to, the lot of the prisoner of war is not so bard as many people have been led to believe. believe. There have been interspersed interspersed in the war news from biased sources insinuations that the soldiers soldiers of this or that nation have ruthlessly violated the provisions of the international laws governing warfare and the Kaiser has been accused accused of treating The Hague convention convention as so much waste paper. The news from abroad has not revealed revealed any unfairness to the many thousands of soldiers who- are prisoners prisoners of war, so it must be assumed assumed that with respect to them, at least, the laws are being observed. That such is the case may be assumed assumed also from the iact that the nation which captures its enemy's soldiers and makes prisoners. of them is held entirely responsible for whatever happens and shoulders at once a responsibility that is commensurate commensurate with the number of. prisoners prisoners who are taken and detained. The law of warfare says that a prisoner must be as fair with his captors as they are with him. . He must be humanely treated,..so it is prescribed, and when he is questioned questioned by his captors lie must give his true name and the rank he holds in the army which has been defeated and of which he was once a part. Contrary to general belief, he is not stripped of everything and thrown into a dungeon and fed on a- crust of bread and a mug of stale water. His captors do not deprive him of his personal possessions., except weapons, horses and military papers. papers. Furthermore, they must give him complete religious liberty, and it is specifically decreed that he must be given opportunity to.attend a- church of the denomination to which he belongs. And there, he may pray as much for the success of his own nation or the much desired desired relief from detention as the state of his mind dictates.

Of course, the law gives the commanding officer considerable leeway in such matters, matters, for he is left to determine when, the indispensable occasion arises. At other times when the prisoner is at liberty, he is subject to all the rules and regulations of the army of the government that captured him, and if he refuses to obey the rules or acts in an insubordinate insubordinate manner toward the officers officers in command he may be punished punished and disciplined according to his offense. And here it is again left to the discretion of his captors as to what- measure of punishment shall be inflicted upon him. If a prisoner of war attempts to escape and his captors are vigilant vigilant to the extent of retaking him before he leaves the territory they occupy or before he has a chance to rejoin his own army, he may be severely punished. On the other hand, if he eludes his captors and makes a clean getaway and his army is again unfortunate, and he is captured the second time, the perfectly good escape from previous previous captivity must 1 go unpunished and he must be treated as a prisoner prisoner of war, just as though be had not made the successful dash for liberty and further glory. The government that holds prisoners prisoners of war is chargeable with their maintenance and must provide provide them with food, clothing and shelter as good as that provided for its own troops. The officers of the captors are required to keep records of a-lil the prisoners "under their charge, and if relief societies, which have been extensively formed by the women of Europe and many American women as well, wish to minister to their needs and comforts, comforts, the officers in command must afford them every possible facility*. And if the friends of prisoners or the welfare societies see fit to send them . presents and clothing, medicine medicine and other necessities, such goods must be admitted to them Free of Any War Duty that might be imposed by the nation nation holding, them, and the railroads railroads owned by the government are bound to carry such supplies free of transportation charges. Prisoners of war may be put to -work by the government that captures captures them, and the duties must, be assigned with a view to their apti tude, fitness and rank. The tasks must not be unduly-severe, so as to border on cruelty and they must have, no bearing whatever on the operations of the war. The prisoners prisoners must be paid for the work they do, .moreover, at a rate equal to thv-u being paid to the soldiers of the national army, and prisoners may be authorized to work for a public service, for private persons or on their own account. The wages of these prisoners, the law says, must go toward improving their condition, and the balance must be paid them after their release, release, with the proper deduction for their board and keep. When officers officers of hostile armies who are captured captured are put to work they must get the same wage rate as is paid to the corresponding officers of the government whose captives they are. All these moneys must be ultimately ultimately refunded by their own governments to their captors after the war is over, peace is declared, and the intricate problems of indemnities indemnities come up for solution. A prisoner of war may even be paroled by his captors, and this is done sometimes when he is disabled or there are circumstances that prompt his enemies to let him go to these who are near and dear to him. When parole is granted to a prisoner he makes a- solemn .pledge and promise that he will live up to the terms under which he is released, released, and even his own nation may not ask him to perform a service that is inconsistent with that pledge. It goes hard with the prisoner prisoner on parole who is caught fighting fighting against the nation that released released him, for he is not entitled to be treated as a prisoner of war, and the judgment meted out to him is as terrible as it. is sure. Certain Codes of Honor are supposed to be observed even in international warfare, and, a soldier who breaks his word of honor is considered the most despicable despicable of men. No matter how long the military authorities of a nation decide to detain the prisoners they take in battle, they may not put them to death or even wound them. The procedure of taking prisoners. is only for one purpose, and that is to weaken the opposing armies. When soldiers .are declared prisoners prisoners of war they surrender their arms, and', if they obey the code, do not try to overpower their captors. This particular feature of the rule of war is usually lived up to, for the effort, if it fails, is punished by Utilize» every heat unit.

Motor vehicles of all kinds play an indispensable part in the European European conflict. Cannon, even of large calibre, are mounted upon heavily armored motor trucks, and moved from placé to place with far greater speed than could possibly be obtained from horses. There are also trucks for carrying previsions, travelling kitchens, motor ambulances, ambulances, water-tank trucks with apparatus apparatus for distilling water that carry the water to the men on the firing line, motor vehicles equipped with wireless telegraph and telephone telephone stations, tractors with a winch and chain . for hauling heavy guns into position. Upon the outbreak outbreak of war, army officers requisitioned requisitioned taxicabs and motor carriages in every large city, with which to hurry the troops to their rendezvous, rendezvous, and from there to their places on the frontier. The generals generals and staff officers of all the leading armies use high-powered automobiles to travel from place to place.

A little _ extra care bestowed upon the child at this season will save many of the colds and troublesome ailments that tax the constitution and make children children more liable to disease duiing the winter. Autumn colds are particularly particularly to be guarded against, as these so often develop into chronic catarrh which-is very hard to cuie. The thin stockings and socks worn in summer should be succeedeu by ones that are slightly warmer, while the same change should be made in the -underwear. This should, always be of wool, except during the heat- of the- day . the colder evenings demand extra pre cautions in the putting on of warmer warmer coats and wraps. I do not menu that a child should be coddled, far from it, but a mother should see to the children having a light coat or cape which would prevent them catching cold. Woollen combinations combinations of light weight are excellent for children's, wear, and save many a- serious illness. Children take cold more easily or less readily, but if well protected there is less liability to contract a severe cold. Colds in children are best treated by keeping them in a warm, not stuffy atmosphere, and if possible, in bed. If a child is kept in practically practically the same atmosphere fur three days, and a simple cough or cold mixture administered, rthe cold will generally disappear without leaving leaving any serious effects behind.--A Phvsiciian.

Then it becomes necessary to persuade the patient to take it. and every rest-cure patient is a problem . by himself, and usually a difficult one. It is quite possible to be in urgent need of the rest cure and at the same time to be more obstinate, vociferous, and unmanageable than all the rest of the family put together. together. That is why physicians advise advise against attempting the. rest cure in the home. It is very likely to fail there in the ease, of the patient, patient, and to succeed only in making making patients of the other members of the family : for worn-out people are hard to handle, although they ruay be perfectly, tractable and reasonable when they are m a state of health.
