Meat prices will not worry the man or woman who knows that a Shredded Wheat Biscuit will supply more real body-building nutriment than beefsteak or eggs and at much less cost. I Shredded Wheat remains the ' same price, the same high ' quality, supplying all the nutriment a man needs for ! a half-day's work. Two ' shredded wheat biscuits with , peaches and cream or other , fruits make a complete, nourishing meal at a cost of ; not over five cents. j Made in Canada j A HORSE REFORMATORY.. ! Place in England Where Wicked .\nimal8 are Tamed. A friend in England sends us this, story: "One result of the war is the establishment of a reformatory for! wicked ( ? ) army horses. j "One of these horses was called Crippen, but the Camden Town own-] er of that name was a saint by com- parison with him, according to the soldiers who tried to tame him. "Crippen had killed one soldier who had tried to saddle him, and was sent- enced to be shot. I "That sentence was commuted to one of detention in a horse reforma- tory. In this reformatory, near Shrewsbury, the horse criminals, un- der the care of Lieutenant Rimington, become in time so docile that they will eat sugar out of a lady's hand. "Crippen met his equals at the re- formatory. Vicious, sullen horses, horses that looked like villains and acted as such, roamed about the pad- dock when Lieutenant Rimington walked, like a Daniel, into the lions' den and the animals at once became quiet. "The officer carried neither stick nor whip. He understood horses, and, apparently they understood him. They owe their lives to him, and seem to be aware of th«" fact. "Anyhow he is soon on Crippen's back, and Crippen is buckjumping in fine western style. Neither stick, whip, nor spur is used to tame him, but tamed he is, in very short time, like the rest of the savage Simons who have been condemned for mur- derous practices. "The Shrewsbury horse reforma- tory, through which hundreds of vicious horses have passed, has prov- ed such a success that the whole pro- cess of taming the animals has been filmed, under the title of 'Reforming Army Outlaws,' and will shortly be seen" in Wardour Street, where the picture io sure to win the approval of all lovers of horses." While the vast majority of vicious horses are undoubtedly made so by those who have handle<l them, a horse is occasionally born with a stubborn, pen'erse, and ugly disposition. Even in such a case we do not question heredity plays a large part, and the bad disposition may bi' due to a sire or dam spoiled by an owner or train- er.â€" F.H.R., in Our Dumb Animals. BUILDING BY ELECTRICITY. Mere Economical and Convenient^ Than Steam. Electric power is being used more extensively each year In building , operations to drive coucrete mixers, j air compressors, hoists, etc. The main reason for this growing popularity Is simply that electric drive ' is more economical and convenient i than steam ; provided, of course, elec- ! trie current is available, as It usually | Is in the neighborhood of built-up com-, munltiea. One man only is required : to handle a motor-driven machine, and j he need not be an experienced en- 1 glneer, as many workmen can learn I to handle a motor In a short time. A , single handle controls all operations â€" I starting, stopping, reversing and ; changing the speed. There are no ' stand-by losses, either. The motor ', uses power only when actually run- j nlng, and when at rest involves no ex- pense whatever. Having no boiler, the machine is lighter and more compact than a steam-driven machine, and hence Is more readily moved and , placed In position. On account of Its [ compactness, a motor-driven hoist may be placed where it will not interfere , with traffic. The absence of tire and sparks makes it safe even though it is crowded under the scaffolding. Cables located overhead out of the way take the place of awkward, leak- ing pipes, and there Is nothing to freeze In cold weather. iT^RAPPERSr IRAWFURS! ftoJOHNHAUAM! and r*r.«lT« blghusl oMh prlocui.

Debility is a word that fairly ex- presses many ailments under one name. Poor blood, weak nerves, im- paired digestion, loss of flesh, no en- ergy, no aml)ition, listless and indif- ferent. This condition is perhaps the penalty of overwork or the result of neglected health. You must regain your health or succumb entirely. There is just one absolutely sure way to new health â€" take Dr. Williams' Fink Pills. These pills will bring you new life, fill every vein with new, rich blood, restore elasticity to your step, the glow of health to wan cheeks. They will supply you with new energy and supply the vital forces of mind and body. | There is not a corner in Canada where Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have I not brought health and hope and hap- piness to some weak debilitated per- son. If you have not used this medi- cine yourself ask your neighbors and they will tell you of some sufferer who has been restored to health and strength through using Dr. Williams' Pink Pill.'. One who has always a good word to .say for Dr. Williams* Pink Pills is Mrs. Luther Smith, of West Hill, Ont., who writes: "I feel it a duty as well as a pleasure to tell you what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done for me. I had an operation for tumors. The operation in itself was quite successful, but I was so badly run down and anaemic that I did not gain strength, and the incision did not heal, and kept discharging for nearly a year, until I weighed only eighty-six pounds and could scarcely walk acro-ss the floor. I had got so sick of doctors' medicine that I would vomit when I tried to take it. A good friend urged me to try Dr. Williams* I'ink Pills, so I bought a box. Before they were gone I thought I could feel a difference, and I got a further sup- ply. By the time I had taken five boxes the wound ceased discharging and commenced to heal. I took in all thirteen boxes and am to-day enjoy- ing the best health of my life and weigh 140 pounds. I sincerely hope anyone suffering as 1 did will give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial, and I feel sure they will not be dis- I [ appointed." | You can get these pills from any j medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The â- Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- j ville, Ont. * THE EARLIEST SUBMARINE An Englishman Devised the First "Diving Machine" in 1774. In the development of the modern submarine the first and most impor- tant problem which demanded solution was that of supplying the occupants of the craft with suflicient quantities of air. -Ml other problems were sec- ondary of this, and when the means of compressing air and storing It In tanks was discovered the rest was comparatively easy. Every schoolboy now knows that air is necessary to sustain life, but what Is now a matter of common knowledge w-as a secret to savants not so very long ago. It was the lack of this sim- ple information which cost the life of the inventor of the tirst submarine, John Day, an Englishman, who went to his death 142 years ago. â-  Day was a wheelwright of an In- I ventive turn of mind, and he early turned his attention to the problem of iiivonting a submarine in which human beings could remain under water for a I considerable length of time. After a long thought he contrived what he j called a "diving machine," which con- j slsted simply of a large air-tight box, I sutTiciently large and strong to with- ] stand the pressure of the water at a considerable depth. Day's plan was to attach his water- tight box to an old vessel by means of I screws. After Day entered the box it was to be carefully closed and the ves- sel was to be sunk to a depth of 100 feet and at the end of 24 hours he was to disengage his box from the vessel by withdrawing the screws, thus ris- ing to the surface. On June 22. 1774, Day's "submarino" was ready and a spot in Plymouth Sound was chcson for the lest. The foolhardy inventor entered his tomb and the cover was fastened on. The vessel ti> which the box was attached was then sunk. At the end of 24 hours A vast cvowd gathered to see Day's DISEASES INCIDENT TO OCCUPATIONS HOL'SEMAID'S KNEE A MALADY OF MINERS Dr. Patterson's Method of Curing Lead Poisoning by Electric Battery. The subject is interesting and im- portant as well as full of surprise. Housemaid's knee, for instance, which for many years has served as a subject for humorous comment, proves to be a frequent malady of miners. The statistician is abroad and he brings the information that trades carried on in the presence of much dust show a high death rate from diseases of the lungs. Then comes the biologist, who explains that dust is not only minute particles, but that the particles are usually sur- rounded by a watery envelop and that clinging to this filament there may be micro-organisms. Soot Is .'Vn Irritant. The medical authorities abroad de- clare that soot is a serious irritant, and that chimney sweeps are especi- ally subject to cancer because of it. Sawing certain kin<is of wood has been found to proiluce irritation of the mucous membrane of the nose, throat and eyes. The makers of white lead have looked lead poisoning square in the face and have found means to avoid it. Dr. Patterson de- vised an entirely reasonable but some- what unexpected treatment for it. He immerses the patient's hand in one tub of salt water and his feet in an- other, and then a pole of an electric battery is put into each of the tubs. The current is turned on, using Mr. Patient as a conductor, and it carries the lead that it finds on the way out of him, through the salt solution de- positing it upon one of the electrodes. It has proved successful. Fatigue is another subject that has been studied and reported on. Strain is declared to be more e.xhausting than work, and monotony of employment aggravates exhaustion. Fatigue seems to be a condition of the body in which the waste products of work are not carried off fast enough. In physiological laboratories animals have been fatigued by overdriving and then some of their bloo<l has been injected into the veins of healthy ani- mals. The healthy animals straight- way showed the same symptoms of fatigue as those that had been over- worked. Chlorinated Water. In rubber factories and elsewhere, when bisulphate of carbon is used, great care must be taken to avoid contamination of the air by its offen- sive fumes. Otherwise nervous troubles are likely to follow. There is a bakers' itch, grocers' itch and sugar-refiners' itch, all mani- festations of eczema, according to the materials handled. ^ The question is likely to be asked why boards of health do not use chlor- inated water for flushing the streets, especially in hot, dry weather. This was first proposed by Dr. Baskerville six or seven years ago. and there is no question but that its effect upon disease germs in the street dust would be beneficial to the public health. Since the New York water supply has been treated with chlorine not a'single case of typhoid fever has been traced to it as the cause. It is doubtful if any other satisfactory an- swer will be forthcoming than that the boards of health haven't got around to it yet. _ « "Are you fond of music?"

Many New Occiipations Are Being 1 Opened Up to Them. Before the war there were five mil- lion, five hundred women wage earn- ers in Great Britain; to-day there are said to be over ten million. Five mil- lion men have enlisted for active ser- vice, and a woman has taken the place of every able-bodiod man who might have been engaged in peaceful ocj I cupationa. England has never been so busy a manufacturing and indus- i trial country as she is in 1916, but this would never have been possible if women had not stepped into the breach. j 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 Pacifi yards and s\'ps where they are cleaning cars, in the telegraph sen'ices and in many clerical positions hither- to held by o^en. They are acting in some places as Station .Agents with satisfaction to their employers. But Canadians who visit England are surprised to find women ticket in- spectors and guards, women a.s ele- va-or attendants, women as chauf- i feurs, and train conductors, women as ! red caps, porters and ticket clerks, i women as locomotive cleaners and track greasers.
