Firsi Carded and Woven Into Cloth, Then Treated With Chemicals and EmboBsed. Tha cow of our fathers had a man- opoly upon the manufacture of cer- tain leathers.«nd upon that rested one of her proud claims to fame, for no other animal produced a hide that would tan to the same grades of lea- pays to its women by creating a Wo- ther. The cow of the present day, man's Work Sub-Committee as part however, must look well to her laurels for slowly but surely science is en- croaching upon her domain and to- day man-made "leather" vies with her product for popular favor in every mart of trade. The making of leather substitutes is another step in indus- trial evolution where science, with the aid of modern machinery, has tak IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM. Every Branch of Women's Work in the War Will be Beprcwnt«d. Plans are already under way for the great Imperial War Museum which, in many ways, will resemble both the Britkh and the Victoria and Albert Museums. In other important re- spects the new museum will differ from and even surpass the others. For one thing it will not be a mere re- pository for various specimens of the machinery of war. The whole idea will be to demonstrate, for all time, the superb manner in which England rose to the stupendous demands of this unexpected war which is the greatest of all history. Nothing could be flner than the tri- bute which the Imperial Government of the planning body of this great museum. In the years to come Brit- ish women will be free citizens of that Empire they have helped so heroical- ly to save and fest they forget the tremendous odds against which their liberators fought, this great museum will serve as a reminder.

The papers announce the astound- ing fact that in the United States a ship has been built and launched in twenty-seven days, a speed in ship- building which easily beats all re- cords; whilst Mr. Ford, of motor-car fame, is turning out, they say, two submarine destroyers per day, in ad- dition to the 2,000 automobiles which Is his average daily output. This is what is called intensive production, and the perfection of modern machin- ery and labor saving devices alone makes it possible. Regarding the wonderful riveting performances we are now daily hear- ing about, this work used to be done by hand with the hammers, but now it Is done by a special tool driven by compressed air, and making 1,000 blows per minute, or 60,000 blows each hour. By this hammer, easily manipulated by one man, rivets can be driven home at the rate of eight every minute. What this means to shipbuilding any shipwright will tell you, for there are thousands of steel rivets in a ship's construction. This is but an example of the. great speeding-up process which is going on in the world's work. It is all to the good. It means less toil and more leisure in the long run â€" that is, the same work which once took a week to accomplish can now often be finished in a day. .> . Fires occur in Canada in the ratio of one to every 600 people, and in Europe in the ratio of one to every 3,000 people. "The man who has begun to live more seriously witihin begins to live more simply without." â€" Phillips Brooks . After a Cup of POSTUM there's no uncomfortable reaction, but rather a refreshing feeling of health and satisfaction. It's gratifying, these days, to know that Pos- tum saves sugar and fuel. Convenient Economical Delightful Try Instant Postum "There's a Reason ♦ > material where formerly only the na- tural product was considered. The leather substitute has its birth in the Southern States where the cot- ton of which it is made is grown and ginned. From the fields it goes to American mills, where it is carded and spun and woven into cloth. Both warp and woof are made of selected threads, for to withstand the hard usage it is to receive the finished fab- ric must be of unusual strength. All of this strong cloth must undergo a most careful inspection for any un- evenness or other flaw in weaving which would affect the finished pro- duct. Shrunk and Dyed. Tlie first step in the further pre- paration of this cotton fabric occurs in the huge dye vats where the cot- ton cloth is impregnated through and through with the dyes which give it the desired color. Here also the cloth is shrunk so that the finished mater- ial will not stretch or sag. The fab- ric is now dried by passing it over heated cylinders and is ready to be coated with the dissolved cotton solu- tions that give it the appearance and surface of leather. No pains can be spared in the preparation of these solutions, for on them depend the final success of the surface, and conse- quently the value of the fabric. "The cotton is carefully purified to remove all traces of impurities, and is then nitrated by being soaked in mixed acids. After many washings and careful drying the nitrated cotton is dissolved in chemicals of different kinds, and carefully colored to produce the shade or tint desired. Different characteris- tics in the finished Fabrikoid are ob- tained by careful modifications of the solutions. The cloth is coated with varying amounts of the solutions by being passed through long machines that lay on films of even thickness and uniform quality. Some of the finished fabrics must be exceedingly thin and pliable, and require the use of light cloth and thin coating, while others must be thick and strong and require heavy cloth and thick coating- Proceeds of Embossing. The pyroxylin solution is applied in successive coats until a tough, wear resistant surface is built up. The fab- ric now resembles leather in feel, color and texture and is ready for the graining which gives it the appear- ance of leather. This is done by an embossing process which is the last step in the fabrication of this leather- like material. For the embossing the natural markings of genuine hides are trans- ferred to steel plates and rollers which reproduce them in the most minute detail. The plates or rollers are then heated, and by means of en- ormous pressure the natural markings of the hide are transferred to the pyroxylin surface of the fabric. The grain is embossed so effectively that it is as permanent as the material it- self. The making of the artificial leather â€" or Fabrikoid- â€" is now com- pleted. The graining may be an actual duplication of the most elab- orate Moorish leather where two col- or effects are essential, or of the char- acteristic markings of pig skin, alii gator or other expensive leather PEERLESS STARTER A Quarantaed Starting System for Ford Car*.

Just how this work was carried on will be shown by pho- tographs and, in some cases, by mod- els showing the women at their tasks. Specimens of their work will also be included in the exhibits. With this, in each case, will go a full account of i the work as shown by official docu- ! ments, press cuttings, public speeches : and lectures. Every kind of badge or j uniform worn by women war workers will be on exhibition and the com- ! mittee are very anxious to secure all badges including those given by ob- scure societies and societies whose identity was later merged Into that I of other bodies. Voluntary labor by | women is to be honored in every pos- sible way. Belgian relief work, so very de- pendent upon voluntary workers at first, must not be overlooked and other relief organizations which have ceas- ed ^o exist at the present time are too valuable a factor in this world strug- gle to be overlooked and are to have a place in the museum. Women who have performed exceptional service for the Allies and have been decorated by them are to have a niche all to themselves. Even those of us who have become accustomed to women in unheard-of occupations will feel a thrill of pride on seeing the complete record in this museum of women in ship-yards, in skilled and unskilled la- bor, civic and government positions, places of trust and dapger. Welfare work carried on in all these places will be an interesting comment on the dif- ference in the attitude of the Hun and the Allies towards their fellows. The adjustment of the machine to the worker and the various safeguards evolved for each profession will be a striking comment on the attitude of \ capital and labor, each towards the ! other. j One of the most fascinating and gripping exhibits will be»that relating to hospitals and nursing, huts, can- teens and communal kitchens. Building of the Tuckahoe. Mary Mildred White, New York. "Give me of your men, Nation, Of your strong quick men, O Nation! Living in the crowded city, In the town and in the country! I a light sea ship will build me, Build a swift barge for the ocean. For the cold and hungry soldiers, For the desolate and needy. Lay aside yoiu- work, Workers, Lay aside your present bu-siness. For defeat will sure be coming, Ajid the horde will rage and trample. Thus aloud cried our great Chief- tain, In this time of war and wastage. From one state unto another. And the country answered swiftly, "Take my men, O mighty Chieftain!" With their tools they made the frame- work Till it rose up high above them, High they built it up and quickly. And with hammers hard they nailed it. Nailed it strong and nailed it neatly. And the cities came and helped them; Sent the parts right quickly toward them. And they took them working faster Till no seam was left unfinished, Till no spot was left unpainted. In one score seven days they built her. Built her strong and built her. steady, And she slipped into the water, As a swan onto the river, Like a lithe and graceful wild-bird. Like a wild bird flying southward. Thus the Tuckahoe was builded. Thus that day the Workmen launched her; And the good will of the Chieftain, All the hopes and fears of many, All the hatred of the Kaiser Went with her into that launching; And she sailed upon the ocean. Sailed upon the happy ocean To the aid of many people. To the land beyond the water. - The Volunteer. Here lies the clerk who half his life has spent Toiling at ledgers in a city gray. Thinking that so his days would drift away With no lance broken in life's tourna- ment; Yet ever 'twixt the books and his bright eyes The gleaming eagles of the legions came. And horsemen, changing under phan- tom skies. Went thundering past beneath the oriflamme. And now those waiting dreams are satisfied; From twilight to the halls of dawn he went; His lance is broken; but he lies con- tent With that high hour in which he liv- ed and died. And falling thus, he wants no recom- pense. Who found his battle in the last re- sort; Nor needs he any hearse to bear him hence. Who goes to join the men of Agin- court.

Prop, of Grand Central Hotel, Drummondville, Aug. 3, '04. YES! MAGICALLY! CORNS LIFT OUT WITH FINGERS You say to the drug store man, "Give me a small bottle of freezone." This will cost very little but will posi- tively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. A few drops of this new ether com- pound applied directly upon a tender, aching corn relieves the soreness in- stantly, and soon the entire corn or callus, root and all, dries up and can be lifted off with the fingers. This new way to rid one's feet of corns was introduced by a Cincinnati man, who says that freezone dries in a moment, and simply shrivels up the corn or callus wjthout irritating the surrounding skin. Don't let father die of infection or lockjp.w from whittling at his corns, but clip this out and make him try it. If your druggist hasn't any freezone tell him to order a small bottle from or I his wholesale drug house for you. Food Situation in France. The population of France, our ally in this war, was about 39,000,000 when the war broke out. About 7,000,000 able-bodied men were conscripted, 1,- 000,000'have since been killed and over 1,000,000 more put out of action. Agricultural production has drop- ped to nearly one-third. Women, children, old men and crippled sol- diers are struggling to till the fields of France. Horses were also con- scripted for military service and French women hitched themselves to the plows and harrows in place of draught animals. French men are fighting Germans, French women are fighting starvation. Deaths from starvation among the Allies in Europe since the war are estimated at 4,- 790,000.
