Truck farming is increasing, and the British Columbia produce is largely A SHORTAGE OF SHIPS. Serious Handicap on the Lumber Trade of British Columbia. It is evident from reports on trade conditions in British Colubia which have just been received by officers of the Canadian Northern Railway Com- pany, that the war in Europe was not the entire cause of the business de- pression, from the effects of which the people in the coast province are now recovering. Representative busi- ness men from Vancouver and Vic- toria almost unanimously advance the opinion, that speculations of the boom period in real estate, account for the greater portion of their troubles. They add that the European conflict has had the effect of complicating conditions of trade, but contend that the slowing down of provincial com- merce may justly be attributed to the economies British Columbians were forced to resort to in order to meet the payments for the real estate they had purchased long before, in the hope of obtaining a prompt and ex- cessive profit. But it also seems from the reports, that the days of disci mutton are good and likely to so con- tinue. There is a satisfactory in- crease in hog raising. The establish- ment of public markets is proving very satisfactory, and is reducing the cost of living. Unskilled labor at low prices is plentiful; skilled labor is difficult to obtain, and fairly good prices are paid. The report adds that comparatively little grain will be im- ported from the Prairie Provinces this year on account of the larger area sown. The tendency appears to be for city people to exchange town properties for farm lands, and many appear to be anxious to leave the town and engage in agricultural work. A large increase in production is looked for in the next few years. ing he grew worse', and the least start displacing imports from the United (vould bring ^n attacks of hysteria.

Defence of the Realm Act the Brit ish Government by an Order-in-Coun- cil decided to take over the control of the sale and supply of intoxicating liquors in many districts where war material is being made and loaded, unloaded or otherwise dealt with. The districts affected include the city of Bristol and surrounding towns, Avon- mouth, Newhaven, Southampton, Newport, Cardiff, Barry, Barrow-in- Furness, Liverpool and adjoining towns, and most of the munition and shipbuilding centres in Yorkshire. Members of Parliament of all parties have undertaken a campaig:n to thank the employers and workmen in munition contracts for the work they already have done, and to urge upon them the vital importance of turning out as great a quantity of munitions the country is capable of producing. « BUILT A MONUMENT The Best Sort in the World.

In British Columbia, the worst ef- fects, commercially, of the war over- seas, have been experienced by the men engaged in the lumbering indus- thy.

The British Empire is mobilizing its industries for the manufacture of i shells at last in the tenth month of i the war. When shall we mobilize • our scientists ? asks a British writer. The urgency of this question is em- phasized by the news that the j French Academy of Science is about | to be placed in the closest possible touch with the French army. Officers are to inform the academy of new needs as they arise and to submit questions for solution. Thus in pre- sent conditions wire entanglements are usually removed by a very clumsy process â€" using high-explosive shell to tear down their supports. It might be possible to devise some more ef- fective scientific means of achieving this end. Similarly with gas. The present idea is to meet poisonous gas by the issue of respirators. It would be better and quite as practicable to neutralize the asphyxiating gas with some other gas or vapor. To give an example, chlorine fumes would be rendered harmless by soda solution sprayed. In place of choking vapor there would be a snowfall of a solid viscous substance, chlorine of sodium, or common salt. The Germans mobilized their scientists and physicists for military purposes as they mobilized their whole nation. The war is more and more becoming a matter of science. British Brain Best. The scientists have given them various kinds of asphyxiating gases and bombs charged with formaline and other choking fumes. They have turned out high explosives in gigantic quantities and of relative stability. When the allied blockade interfered with the supply of ni- trates â€" and nitric acid is an essen- tial ingredient in every explosive â€" the German chemists produced their plant by which nitrogen was extract- ed from the air. They have antici- pated every move of the allies and have sprung surprise after surprise upon us. There is an ill-founded idea that | the British are inferior to the Ger- mans in scientific acquirements and inventiveness. This has been much exploited by the Huns, but it is sheer nonsense. One of the most famous American millionaires states that he has made an immense fortune out of British brains and declares that the British are greater inventors even than the Americans. Sir William Ramsay recently showed that the most remarkable chemical inventions of the last few years were the achievement of Englishmen. Unemployed Skill. Even in military matters we have shown originality. In the application of heavy artillery to war, for ex- ample, the British led the way. In India, so far back as the Mutiny, they took weapons of the largest size that then existed into the field. They forgot or dismissed what they had done, to be disagreeably surprised when the Germans in this war turn- ed up with 11-inch and 16-inch how- itzers. So with the machine-gun, of which the Germans are making so enorm- ous a use. The British army â€" after the French discarded their mitrail- leuses â€" was the first in Europe to be equipped with this pattern of weapon and to grasp its value. Hav- ing done this it stodd still and was content with c tiny allowance of these guns. The Germans ordered just before the war 50,000 machine- guns. The result is that they are able to hold their trenches to-day with machine-guns worked by half a dozen men, whereas we, for want of these weapons, are compelled to cram our lines with men and thus to, offer the German hiRh-explosive shells a splendid target. State and Chemists. Britain led the world in the adop- tion of the Dreadnought type, and I here again the Germans merely i copied us. The on > le^l German in- I vention is the Zc'i rc'lin. and to this j if we had taken pains, gene to our men of science and been content to I spend a little money â€" a reply could ' long since have been discovered. But while harping upon the importance of science and the value of it to the State, there is no class which our politicians so much fear as the chemists, physicists, and men who know their business. The State's idea of the chemist was shown in an English advertisement last year offering the princely salary of £2 5b. a week to. a first-rate chemist required for research work in one of the Government labora- tories. While tens of millions have in the past been expended on teach- ing small boys and grirls to read and write, the princely sum of £4,000 a year has been allotted by the State to the Royal Society for Research. It sounds like a grim joke, but unhap- ily it is true. , ^ Win Quicldy Cure Any Sour Stomach Relieves Fullness After Meals. "When I was working around the farm last winter, I had an attack of inflammation," writes Mr. E. P. Daw- kins, of Port Richmond. "I was weak for a lon^ time, but well enough to work until spring. But something went wrong with my bowels for I had to use salts or physic all the time. My stomach kept sour, and always after eating there was pain and fulness, and all the symptoms of intestinal indigestion. Nothing help- ed me until I used Dr. Hamilton's Pills. Instead of hurting, like other pills, they acted very mildly, and seemed to heal the bowels. I did not require large doses to get results with Dr. Hamilton's Pills, and feel so glad that I have found a mild yet certain remedy. To-day I am well â€" no pain, no sour stomach, a good ap- petite, able to digest anything. This Is a whole lot of good for one medi- cine to do, and I can say Dr. Hamil- ton's Pills are the best pills, and my letter, I am sure, proves it.

Wiley, of Washing- ton, has promulgated a few "hot wea- ther do's and don'ts." Here they are: "Eat everything, but moderately. "Abstain from alcohol and tobacco. "Drink plenty of cold water, but do not gulp it. "Never drink with meals, but im- mediately after. "Eat plenty of fruits and vege- tables. "Abstain from sweet soda fountain drinks, unless the syrup is used spar- ingly in them. "If you eat moderately and refrain from drugs, do not be afraid of sun- stroke." * Tea Is a Wur Munition. Tea is being used as the most port- able beverage ration in the trenches in Europe. The belligerent Govern- ments are buying immense quantities and the troops are acquiring a taste for tea that will greatly increase the future consumption. Cheap tea is a thing of the past now that the new demand has arisen, and rising prices may be expected for some time. RENOVATING BUILDINGS. Canadian National Exhibition An- thorities Taking Precautions. It will be interesting to stockmen generally to know that the most ex- traordinary precautions are beijig taken by the Canadian National Ex- hibition, Toronto, to thoroughly disin- fect all sheds and buildings to be occupied by livestock during the com- ing Pair, Aug. 28 to Sept. 13. Immediately after the military au- thorities had removed the last of the horses housed at the grounds over the winter, a meeting of the chairmen in charge of the different branches of the livestock department at the Ex- hibition met and decided to at once seek Government co-operation in the work of disinfecting and cleansing the grounds. A large force of men have since been engaged at the work of immu- nizing every inch of space, in which task they are using the most thor- ough methods. Floors, walls, ceilings, stalls and every nook and cranny that might prove a lurking or breeding- place for germs are being treated with specially prepared disinfectants of extra strength and effectiveness. Before the livestock are housed at the grounds previous to the Fair the Exhibition Board will havS all build- ings inspected by the Veterinary Gen- eral, who will come from Ottawa for the purpose. The Ontario Govern- ment, too, will conduct an indepen- dent inspection, and it will be a very elusive germ indeed that will be able to dodge this combined attack. WEAR. Calling Bismarck's Bluff.

A patient in the American Ambu- lance Hospital at Neuilly-sur-Seine tells the following story of one of his comrades: "We had been living in the trenches for days with the water above our ankles. At that time our trenches were only thirty-six yards away from the German trenches, so that we could hear the enemy talking and whistling and, indeed, we often called across to them. "One day, young P., who was a hot-tempered chap about twenty-one years of age, threw down his shovel and said that he wouldn't work in such a nasty hole another moment, and that he had rather die at once from a German bullet than live another day in the trench. Anyhow, he was going out to chop some wood for a floor and let the Germans shoot him if they wished. "Thereupon P. calmly crawled out of the trench, walked to a woodpile in full sight of the Germans, and be- gan making planks from the wood. He worked a whole hour; for the Ger- mans were so much astonished at his audacity, and so delighted with his pluck, that they made no at- tempt to stop him. "When he had finished the needed pile of boards, P. as calmly carried them into the trench; and the men made a good floor of them." Mluard'a Xinlmen^ Cnrea Oarret In Oowa Obliging.
