Grand Trunk Railway NOTES AND COMMENTS A report from an Associated Press correspondent at Warsaw shows that the misery and devastation in Poland have, if anything, been underestimated. underestimated. It declares that of the smaller nations which have suffered so terribly terribly as a result of the war Poland is in by far the worst condition. An agricultural population of about 7,000,000 is on the verge of starvation. starvation. Hunger, misery, and disease abound on every hand. Great numbers numbers of people hide themselves in the forests or under the ruins of their former dwellings and have as food .only roots, barks, rinds and the dehaying dehaying carcasses of animals killed on the battlefields. Congestion in certain certain cities supposed to be safe from immediate war dangers is adding to the sum of misery produced by insufficient insufficient nourishment and bad sanitation. sanitation. The devastated portion of Poland embraces more than 40,000 square miles of territory. Within that area 200 cities and <,towns and over 9,000 villages have been partially or wholly destroyed. The agricultural production production of this part of Poland is valued at $500,000,000 per annum; and this has been stopped in its entirety. The work horses have been requisitioned in great- numbers by the fighting armies and the cattle have been confiscated. confiscated. Moreover, the trenches and holes and other incidents of military campaigns on a vast scale have rendered rendered a resumption of cultivation doubly difficult.

But the picture picture of Poland needs yet a darker shade to be complete. This is the fact that Poland, unlike Belgium and Serbia, has not even the consolation of feeling that all this suffering is for a national cause. The terrible fact that Poles are forced to fight against their brothers in the two great contending contending lines of battle renders the case of Poland unique and incredibly piteous. * If an . efficiency expert applied his tests .to war, what would he make of it ? Putting morals and humanity aside and concentrating on the mere physical facts, could he name any business in which a larger effort is spent for a smaller outcome ? Of the millions of shots each day, ho\^ many reach their mark ? The proportion of misses to-hits is literally so' staggering staggering that it has been said it'takes the weight of man in lead and: steel to kill him.- Some one of the short-story cameos of French literature pictures a peasant peasant whose village fame has lived on the fact that in 1870 he killed five Germans at Sedan. That, of course, is the boyhood impression of every .soldier's career. And yet it cannot be one in five who has killed a single enemy with all the myriad shots and bayonetings of a war. When Sergt. O Leary kills eight Germans in a single charge, it is verily a case for King George to honor him with a personal personal handclasp. AT GRANDPA'S FARM. M. Gibson.

For a disease that is not classed as fatal there is probably none which causes more terrible terrible suffering than asthma. Sleep is impossible, the sufferer'becomes exhausted exhausted and finally, though the attack passes is left in unceasing dread of its return. Dr. J. D. Kellogg's Asthma Remedy is a wonderful curative agent. It immediately immediately relieves the restricted air passages as thousands can testify. It is sold "by dealers everywhere. HEALTH acted by a diet of little or no meat, plenty of fruit and vegetables, no salted salted fish or meats, no alcohol.--A Physician. Physician. Eczema. Genuine eczema is one of the commonest commonest of skin diseases; and in most cases is due to bad habits with neglect of healthy cleanliness. You stop up the pores of the skin--either by accumulated accumulated dirt or by wearing woolly under-garments saturated with perspiration; perspiration; and nature duly punishes you for the sin against her just laws. In a patch of true "eczema you find little orifices, the mouths of the sudo- riperous duct-glands, which "weep"-- i.e., exude a tiny drop of fluid. The latter congeals, and forms a crust or scab. There is always itching, and discomfort, even when the patches are not actually inflamed, as they may be. j Towards cure, glycerine in some ! form or other is the sheet-anchor. As j a rule, zinc ointment well mixed with! glycerine should be smeared on night and morning. If there be inflammation, inflammation, it is sometimes . better to put the glycerine in a bottle of lead lotion--an lotion--an ounce of the former to a pint of the latter (you^must get the lotion ruade up by a chemist)--and dab on plenty with a sponge. . No soap should be used, and no water water should directly touch the patch of eczema. But withal every precaution should be taken to maintain the entire skin in a cleanly and wholesome state. Cotton, or linen, not woollen, undergarments should always be worn next the skin. Sometimes there is a gouty disposition; disposition; and then , that must be counter- any not the Hints for Mothers and Nurses. First. A cross baby is nearly always always a sick baby. 6 Second. Never urge the baby to walk. He will walk as soon as he is strong enough. Third. Don't neglect to have the baby vaccinated when he is a year old. Fourth. Don't consult a neighbor when the baby is sick. Get a doctor. Fifth. Don't fail to give the baby water to drink. When he cries he may be thirsty,, not hungry. Sixth. You are to blame for bad habits the baby may form. If the baby is sick to-day, do wait until to-morrow to call in doctor. Things that seem little may be really very serious. See a doctor at once, if there is: 1. Vomiting and diarrhoea. These are ^danger signs. - 2. Sore throat. 3. Crying most of the time. 4. Sore eyes. 6. Running ears. 7. . Cough. 8. Sore mouth. For constipation, give baby two to three tablespoonfuls of orange juice, not at feeding time. If it continues, see a doctor. For colic, see that the baby's feet are warm. Put a hot-water bottle at his stomach. Don't burn him. If the baby breathes through his mouth all the time, his nose is stopped stopped up and he needs treatment. Enlarged joints and deformed feet should never be overlooked, resulting as they usually do, from errors in diet or some general diseasè. Skin eruptions of all kinds should be attended to. Most of them are due to food which does not agree with the baby, but some are caused by contagious contagious diseases. Convulsions: Put the baby in - a warm bath. Don't burn him. Send for the doctor at once. steel, which raises the temperature of the metal, and makes it rotate. That frees it from the gases and particles of slag that it brought from the furnace. furnace. The process lasts about thirty, minutes, and the expenditure of cur-| rent is small. Trade in War Time. Soon after the war broke out, says ! the London Telegraph, a friend called i on an English merchant, who did a j large Continental business. "This I war must have hit you hard," he ven- ! tured. ! "Very hard," said the merchant. "I've over $10,000 owing me in Germany, Germany, and it's touch-and-go whether I ever get a penny of it. Still, we've got to put up with something for the country." "I'm glad you take it so cheerfully," said the friend. "Well, of course there's profit and loss in war time. I owe $18,000 in Germany." Children.

With aircraft the telephone wire has largely replaced reconnoiting parties and vedettes. There is scarcely scarcely a skirmish, battle or artillery attack attack in which .the wire doesn't parti- , cipate, sometimes in co-operation . with aeroplanes, sometimes without. ' ; Every corps of the French army has a certain number of motorcar telephone shops, each equipped with two complete installations with four miles of wire and an adequate number ground stakes and forked pickets that may be stuck in the bayonet socket of a rifle, serving as a temporary pole. Each of these outfits has also its wireless equipment, with antennaes to reach a height of 60 feet, and a dynamo dynamo connected with the motor of the car to set up the wireless butfit and put it in operation. The enemy's artillery is constantly on the watch for these • motoring wiremen, and occasionally gets them. Projectors and aircraft ordered from i Ypres by wireless played a great role i in the first battle of Ypres. The airmen airmen were able to ascertain just what troops the Germans were bringing up, while the projectors arrived in time to discover the Prussian Guards attempting attempting a surprise attack, and to enable the British to cut them up. »?

Vanstone BOWMANVILLE ONTARIO Purifying Steel. i Engineering describes the process invented by Lord Chetwynd for purifying purifying steel that a Sheffield foundry has now been using for a year and a half. The steel, which is manufactured manufactured in the usual way in the Siemens-Martin Siemens-Martin furnace, is first poured or "teemed," into a special ladle. Now steel, when poured into a ladle in the | ordinary way, draws with it into the j ladle a part of the slag? The slag : becomes so intermingled with the steel that it cannot separate from it completely and rise to the surface before the molten mass is poured into the ingot moulds. This difficulty Lord Chetwynd's process obviates. Two iron electrodes are fitted to the bottom of the special ladle, and two graphite electrodes are so placed that they can be lowered to rest in the layer of slag -that covers the molten steel.
