What impelled^im to give his life bravely for Germany ? Was it the imperial idea that he was willing willing to die for ? Was it the "ideaof civilization, culture, 'or something else ? We imagine np,t. We have an idea that what made this man, as •well as what makes most men wiling wiling to die in battle, was not empire, empire, not flamboyant ideas of glory or dominion, but nationality. Statesmen may talk of empire, rulers may exalt the idea, governments governments may be organized on the imperial imperial system, but the "great mass of the people, high and low, remain true to the great, the ineradicable instinct of nationality. Ever in the mind of the sturdy patriot who fights is the idea of his own country, country, large or small, of his own nation nation and the ways of life he knows, of his own nook and corner of the great earth. The Hungarian with the Austrian armies feels that he strikes for Hungary. The Bavarian feels Bavaria Bavaria nerve his heart and -hand. The Englishman dies for the empire empire with ' 'England" on his lips. That which men most willingly die for is that which has the best chance to survive. Empires may be rooted in history, but nationalities nationalities are rooted in human nature. The Holy Roman Empire is a magnificent magnificent idea, but Switzerland 's more intensely human. r AFTER THE WAR Business in Canada will hum.

That's the only way the issues that divide the nations can be settled and permanent peace secured." Such is the opinion one hears frequently expressed these days. Good logic on its face, but poor in point of fact. It ignores the important point that no war between between great nations is ever "fought out" to a permanently peaceful settlement. A fought-out war is* a truce in most cases. If a war between between two great nations was ever thoroughly fought out the Franco- German war was. There was no question as to the completeness of the. German victory. France received received the terms the victors dictated dictated on her own territory. To-day we see those two nations again at death grips. The -lought-out war of 1870 is adding fuel to the flames. So far was it from providing a way for a peaceful settlement that its memory remains, on 'both sides, the great bar to a friendly understanding. understanding. ^Wood's Phosphodine, The Great English^ Remedy.

AR THUR L. PHELPS. The above poem, written for the Montreal "Weekly Witness," is one of the many strong things appearing in that splendid journal, and coming coming so close upon the wrecks of our own ships grips us hard. The editorials editorials of the "Witness" on the War Situation have the right ring to them and are the product of a mind more than usually well informed, and foresighted. Those not now getting the "Witness" may have it on trial to-the end of the year by sending fifteen cents in stamps to its old time publishers, John Dougall & Son, "Witness" Block, Montreal. It costs little to try it, and people who are not getting the " Witness" do not realize realize what they are missing. Some do not-agree with us in everything. Neither do we. But it is one of the few great worthwhile papers all the same--and fifteen cents gets it to the end of the year. No nation these days can destroy its opponent completely, as Rome destroyed Carthage, even in a fought-out war. Sooner or later the conquered nation will recuperate; All during the . process the old wounds will rankle, the old hates burn. And a fit" occasion will find it ready for war aghin. If it were done when it is done; there might be compensation in the thought of this gigantic conflict* But the thing is never done ; It has to be done over and over again. It is only a question of time when fought-out results play out. Ware never settle war. Better a thought-out war than a fought-out war. A peace foundec on a fair consideration, of the rights of all, on a realization of the uselessness of war, on a consideration consideration of the real demands of civilization civilization and hifmanity. might endure It is the only peace that can. Uncle Jim's Puzzle. "I will • show you a puzzle, Uncle Jim said one rainy afternoon, when the children were wondering what they could do for amusement.

Then he added the figures, and found that the sum was forty-five. "Now subtract your answer from your original number," Uncle Jim Peter did as his uncle directed, and his number that remained was 796845276. . "Now cross out one figure, ado J 7 the rest, and tell me the answer, Uncle Jim continued. "Forty-six," Peter told him. "You crossed out an eight, Uncle Uncle Jim said, without hesitation. "I.got ninety," Ada reported. "You crossed out either a nine or a cipher," Uncle Jim answered. "A cipher," she confessed. "I get sixteen," little Jim said- "You crossed out a two, said Uncle Jim. ;. "That's right, but how did you guess it ?" Little Jim looked very much bewildered. "I get thirty-seven," Mary said. "Then you crossed out an eight. Uncle Jim still did not hesitate before before replying. - , . "How did you do it ?"-Peter ask- and Ada and Mary and little crossed out.

The next multiple multiple of nine after thirty-seven is forty-five, and the difference between between thirty-seven and forty-five is eight, so an eight must have been crossed out."

Certain Bugs Which Are Known to Transmit Tropical Ailments. Ailments. The folio win garticle Was written by Dr. Milton J. Ro senau, professor of preventive medicine and hygiene, Harvard. The fact that disease may be transmitted through the bites of insects' insects' was suspected for years, but it was not until 1893 that it was demonstrated demonstrated as a new principle by Theobald Smith in the case of Texas fev£x of cattle, and the tick. Since then many diseases have been added to the list of insect-borne diseases which is constantly growing. We now know that some diseases are always always transmitted through the . bites of insects, and others only occasionally. occasionally. Thus the only way that- malaria malaria and yellow fever are contracted in nature is through the bite of certain certain mosquitoes--anopheles in the case of malaria, and stegomyia in the case of yellow fever. This sort of transmission is known to biological biological workers as host transmission because because the parasites undergo a cycle of development in the intermediate host. Insects are said to convey disease in a mechanical way when they simply simply transfer germs as the fly does when it caries typhoid bacilli. The fly gets its feet, body and proboscis smeared with the filth in which it breeds and feeds. It then flies to our hands and lips, falls into the milk, or crawls Over the Nursing Bottle. Other insects, such as roaches, may transfer infection in a similar way. The roach is under suspicion so far as conveying infection, such as typhoid bacilli, is concerned. Roaches are hideous enough and objectionable objectionable enough, from the viewpoint viewpoint of their destructiveness and smell, to demand their extermination, extermination, even though not a sanitary menace. During the dark of the night, and often during the day- ight, roaches scramble over food in he pantry, kitchen, cellar and storehouse. They travel over plates, cnives, cups, glasses and spoons ; :hey go over towels and linens ; they visit cellar and toilet; they travel along drains and sewers. There- ore, opportunity is offered for roaches to carry infection. Typhoid fever, diphtheria, scarlet ever, tonsil it is and other diseases are sometimes believed to be due to he sewer gas that comes from a leaky drain or faulty plumbing. Sanitarians nowadays have little fear of sewer gas, and believe rather that roaches and similar insects are more apt to drag infection from sewers and drains into our homes. The roach is, therefore, under serious serious suspicion, and should be regarded regarded as guilty until proven innocent. innocent. Lately, a Danish scientist named Fibinger has shown that-a cancerous growth in the stomach of rats is apparently apparently due to a small /worm found in roaches. The course of events is something like this : Roaches eat the eggs of the worm and become infested infested ; then the rat eats the infested roach and the worm lodges in the mucous membrane of the rat's stomach. stomach. The worm doesn't seem to injure the roach in any way, but irritates irritates the mucous membrane of the rat's stomach so that cancer like tumors tumors develop.

The list of the insect-borne diseases diseases is now a long one. The mosquito mosquito transmits malaria and yellow fever, filariasis and dengue. Biting flies, known as tsetse flies, convey sleeping sickness; gnats convey pappataei fever, and a little midge is responsible for the transmission of pink eye . Ticks convey Texas fever, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, fever, African tick fever, ' relapsing fever, and other diseases. The bedbug bedbug transmits kala-azar. The flea is responsible for plague, and recently recently typhus fever has been shown to be transmitted through the bite of a lice. The suppression of insects and household vermin is essentially a question of cleanliness. The most effective measures are those which strike at the breeding places.. Cleanliness Cleanliness and incessant care must b» exercised in the household itself, particularly in the kitchen, pantry, dining-room, cellar, attic and toilets and must also include the backyard and surroundings of the house. Science has demonstrated the danger danger from insects. Experience Id ago decided that a healthy home must be free from vermin of all kinds. It remains for the future to extend this kind of cleanliness to municipal housekeeping and rural sanitation. COLORS IN UNIFORMS. Nearly Ail Europe's Armies Wear Khaki. The war put everybody into khaki, with a few exceptions. On the battle line or in the field the English soldier and the English officer officer get out of their richly* colored and historic uniforms and into khaki of a- neutral hue. The Germans Germans are in grey. The Austrians have most of their soldiers in khaki, and the Russians all wear khaki,: colored cloth. The French still cling to their blue coats and brilliant brilliant red trousers, and: the Belgians Belgians have a uniform that is very similar to the French. _ _ ^ The French and Belgian officers are dangerously ornamented with gil-t trimmings during warfare, and present such brilliant targets that some of the Belgian regiments during during the hard fighting with the Germans Germans have lost nearly all of their leaders. The new twentieth century modo of warfare put the ban on anything that glitters, even the rifle barrels, bavonets and sabres. Seldom Leaves Much.

The bedbug is quite capable of migrating migrating from one house to another. They thrive particularly in old houses which are full of cracks and crevices in which they can conceal themselves beyond easy reach. The biting organ of the bedbug is similar to -that of other biting insects. insects. The skin is pierced and blood is drawn up through the beak. The bite of the bedbug is decidedly poisonous to some individuals, resulting resulting in a swelling and disagreeable disagreeable inflammation. The only disease known to be transmitted by the bedbug bedbug is kala-azar, a tropical disease, but the bedbug has been accused of transmitting many other diseases, even tuberculosis and leprosy.
