Artificial Leather, Artificial Silk, Fuel Oils and Wood Pulp for Cotton Uses. SIR JOSEPH WARD EMPIRE BUILDER FORMER PREMIER OF NEW ZEALAND ZEALAND IS SELF-MADE MAN. He Has Always Been An Advocate of Compulsory Service for Home Defence. GUN EXPERT OF ARMY GEN. SIR CHARLES CARMICHAEL MONRO, K.C.B. ' That Germany is not the only belligerent belligerent country that has devised new means of meeting the exigencies of war is shown in a report to Washington Washington from United States Consul Clair- borne of Bradford, England, who says that British manufacturers have found many ways of providing articles articles made extremely scarce because of war demands. Artificial leather, a good substitute for leather; artificial silk, various fuel oils, wood pulp for many uses to which cotton was formerly formerly supposed to be alone suited, and new means of recovering rubber from waste rubber goods, are some of the extensively developed materials and processes. British Inventors Busy. Scientific research and invention have been most active in Great Britain Britain since the war began, the Consul says, and many substitutes have been found for articles hitherto regarded as practically indispensable. Many of the imported analine dyes have been supplanted by home-made dyes that were formerly entirely neglected. The production of alcohol from wood pulp has started up, and wood pulp is also being employed in silk weaving where before cotton was used. The British are now beginning to make kerosene engines to take the place of gasoline engines, and there is a considerable use of benzol in lieu of gasoline. a small quantity of siccative and | Venetian red. Several layers of the dried linen are then joined together in sheets of various thickness. The adhesive adhesive mixture used for this purpose consists of four parts of heated wood tar pitch with the _ addition during constant stirring of two parts of India rubber dissolved in benzol, four parts of Venetian red mixed to a thick consistency consistency with French turpentine oil and two parts of cork powder. Sheets thus prepared are compressed between powerful rollers. The product, it is claimed, serves as an excellent substitute substitute for leather, especially for the soles of footwear. It can easily be sewn and pegged, and can replace leather leather in many of its uses. Like that other famous New Zealand Zealand statesman, "Dick" Seddon, Sir Joseph Ward is a*self-made man. His father died when he was barely barely three years old, and his mother could afford him no better education, than that given in the ordinary State schools. At fourteen he became a-telegraph messenger, usually regarded in this country at all events, as a typical "blind alley" occupation. It did not turn out so, however, in his case. His restless enèrgy had to find an outlet. He became, in turn, clerk in a merchant's office, reporter on a newspaper, and then -he engaged in railway work prior to starting in business for himself as a grain exporter. exporter. All this, before he was twenty-one, at which age he first began to take a practical interest in politics. At thirty he entered Parliament, and four years later he had risen to cabinet rank. In 1906 he became Prime Minister of New Zealand, a post which he held for six years; and he has also filled the offices of Minister of Finance, Postmaster-General, Minister of De- Has Been Appointed Commander-in- Chief of British Army . in India. £V-TORONTO.

Ever since the war broke out "Charlie" Monro, as he is generally called in army circles, has been hard at it. Appointed a divisional commander under Sir John (now Lord) French at the beginning of hostilities, he was one of the generals who directed the series of splendid rear-guard actions actions fought by the small British army all the way from Mons to the Marne. Then, in the early days of September, September, when the British and French turned at bay and drove the Germans back almost from within sight of Paris, he was again conspicuous, but in the front this time, not in the II r- ■ '*r Are you taking advantage of ALL the modern methods of saving time and trouble ?

One of the interesting substitutes is artificial leather. Linen duck is coated with varnish to which is added The Chicago Tribune tells how Sandy McTavish got even with a crowd of Germans. 1 Strains of ' God ' Save the King," played by a German band in a German German saloon at 114 South Clark St., floated out into the loop last night. A Scotchman had hired the band to play the British national air, and he enjoyed enjoyed it more than any one else. Earlier Earlier he had been ejected from the saloon, saloon, which is kept by Ed. Dreifus, and this was his : revenge. The Scot was from Canada. When he first dropped /into Dreifus' place some Germans were toasting Capt. Hans Rose, of the U-53. The Scot refused refused to drink the toast. "My name's McTavish--Sandy McTavish--'Wee McTavish--'Wee Sandy,' they call me, and I'll give ye a toast,' 'he shouted, "Here's to King George." It took five Germans and the porter to put Sandy out. Two hours later he was back with the "Hungry Five," the German band he had hired in the loop, and led it into the saloon. The band played the air four times before the Germans knew what it was, but after that Sandy and the musicians were soon in the street.

When food lies like lead In the stomach stomach and you have that uncomfortable, distended feeling', it Is because of Insufficient Insufficient blood supply to the stomach, combined -with acid and food fermentation. fermentation. In such cases try the plan now followed ln'many hospitals and advised by many eminent physicians of taking a teaspoonful of pure blsurated magnesia in half a glass of water, as hot as you can comfortably drink it. The hot water water draws the blood to the stomach and the blsurated magnesia, as any physician can tell you, Instantly neutralizes the acid arid stops the food fermentation. Try this simple plan and you will be astonished astonished at the immediate feeling of relief relief and comfort that always follows the restoration of the normal process of digestion. digestion. People who find it inconvenient at times to secure hot water and travelers travelers who are frequently obliged to take hasty meals poorly prepared, should always always take two or three five-grain tablets tablets of Blsurated Magnesia after-meals to prevent fermentation and neutralize the acid 'in the stomach.

Some year» ago a big busi- ! ness in New Zealand, of which he was i managing director, came to grief. A ; large proportion of the shares were , held in Great Britain, and Mr. Ward ! went over there at once, determined ! that the English creditors, at all events, should not suffer. In the end he paid them all in full out of his own pocket, though he personally was in no way liable for the amount. Then he returned to New Zealand practically penniless. The people there subscribed a testimonial testimonial of $90,000 in order to set him on iiis feet again. Ward refused to take the money, preferring to retrieve ; his fortunes by his own unaided exer- j tions. He, however, permitted his wife to accept,, on his behalf, a fine service of plate, suitably inscribed, from his new-made English friends; the men whose pockets he had filled at the expense of his own. A strong Imperialist always, Sir Joseph Ward has been in favor of compulsory service for home defence from the beginning, and, luckier than the late Lord Roberts, he Has'lived to see his views come to.be the law of the land. The "All Red Route" for ocean cables was another pet scheme of his that has come to fruition. Sir Joseph received his baronetcy in 1911. He had previously been knighted on the occasion of the visit of the present King and Queen--then Duke and Duchess of Cornwall--to New Zealand in 1901. He is also an LL.D. of Edinburgh University. Although fifty-nine years of age-- he was born in 1857--Sir Joseph does not look his age. In fact, he might pass anywhere for a man of forty- five or thereabouts. In part, no doubt, this is due to his love of outdoor life and exercise. Until comparatively recently he used to boat and play cricket regularly. He was also in his younger days an ardent volunteer.

In Charge at Gallipoli. Supposed competent judges . had estimated the probable casualties of the evacuation at ten thousand. General General Monro- re-embarked his entire force with only negligible losses, and right under the eyes of the Turks, who, however, were so completely deceived deceived that they continued shelling the empty trenches for several hours after after the last man^had been withdrawn. General Sir Charles Carmichael Monro, K.C.B., to give him his full title, is a Scotsman, and has to his credit thirty-seven years' service. The youngest son of the late Henry Monro, of Craiglockart, Midlothian, he was born in 1860, and is thus five years younger than Sir Beauchamp Duff, whom he succeeds in India as j commander-in-chief. Z He qualified for the army at the age of nineteen, and was gazetted to the old '2nd Foot, now the Royal West Surrey Regiment. ; He first saw active service in various "little expeditions" expeditions" directed against the turbulent turbulent hill tribes dwelling across the north-western frontier--notably, the Mohmand and Tirah affairs. • Next the South African War broke out, and for three years he fought and toiled with his regiment in the long-drawn-out series of hostilities, including the relief of Kimberley and the Paardeberg and Driefontein operations. operations. -Never Gets Flustered. He left South Africa as. a lieutenant-colonel lieutenant-colonel only, and brevet rank at that, but with a reputation for soldiering soldiering that gained Him a position on the staff on his return home. He was appointed Chief Instructor to the School of Musketry at Hythé, a job after his own heart. Subsequently he commanded a brigade in Ireland. Sir Charles Monro is one of the chief machine' gun experts in the British army. Long before the war broke out, when he first went to, Hythe, in fact, he. realized the enormously enormously important part this "invention "invention of the devil"--to quote Sir Ian Hamilton's words--was going to play in any future war on a really big scale, and he urged his views on the Army Council. Had they been acted upon fully and unreservedly, things might have been different to-day. For the rest, "Charlie" Monro is one of those quiet, self-contained men who never allow themselves to be flurried or flustered. He knows his mind, he knows his men, and, as a strategist should, he always starts out prepared for as many sorts of failure as there are chances of . suc- In Us own way The Gillette is as quick, efficient and convenient as your milker, your binder or your telephone.

An inventor of an important mechanism mechanism was asked one day how he happened to think of the thing. He said he was hungry. The author of one of the most charming novels, ever written was asked how he happened to write it. He said he was hungry. A man was toiling in the field, gathering 6 the sheaves into little heaps, preparing it for the thrasher. He was asked why he worked in the broiling sun. He said he was hungry. None of the men was literally hungry hungry at the time. All of them had been fed -properly Tor the time being. None of them would have perished had they not performed the tasks they worked at perhaps. But all of them gave correct answers.. Hunger Hunger moves the world. . While many of the world's greatest inventions were not perfected with a view to getting something to eat, while many of the most notable writings. writings. of the world have been, by men who were not thinking of food nor of the lack .of it, the fact remains that the bread question is at the bot- i tom of all progress.
