BEST BY TEST I Getting Their Goat. The useful but pugnacious goat could be bought in Germany before the war for a sum varying between 20 and 25 marks ($4.75 and $5.95). Now would-be purchasers have to part with 200 marks ($47.60) before they can obtain their favorite article of diet. In this connection a Berlin newspaper cites the case of a person who advertised that he had a gbat for sale on war terms. The next day he received 46 postal orders for 200 marks, but when the "lambs" called at his : >puse they found neither, goat nor vendor. AT THE BATH HOUSE a ■ A PERSONALS. Ontario Women.

This little railroad was built by a small company and is called the Barnstaple and Lynton Railway Co. It is a narrow guage track the rails being about 3 feet apart so as to save expense in the fil s, there being quite a number, some quite deep. This train wasn't very speedy--only 20 miles j in 90 minutes. Lynton is"a lovely little I town situated on an elevation on the coast. Has ample accommodation for tourists. ; A sign "To the Valley of Rocks" directed j one to a lovely valley with a wall of rocks i on one side arid a range of land on the j other. Climbing to one of the highest I i had one of the finest views I ever had-- ' 1000 feet above sea level. Scrambling I down I came to afoot-path leading around j the coast side into Lynton. From Lynton II went down into the valley to Lynmouth I --practically a part of Lynton, situated-in the valley and gets its name from the river river Lyn which empties into the channel at this point. I had Devonshire cream with a good lunch and went on to the Waters- meet, a lovely place about two miles up the river. The scenery along the river right up to the Watersmeet is about the finest in England. The district around Lynton and Lynmouth is called "The Switzerland of England". I walked up to Hollondy's Hill where is situated the lovely lovely residence of the late Sir George Newnes. Returning to Barnstaple about 8 o'clock, tired but had spent the most enjoyable day of my holiday. Wednesday I took train as far as Instow, a small village on the Torridge river, six miles distant, crossed crossed river by ferry to Appledore and watched watched the building of a small steel freighter. From Appledore I went to Westward Ho, a summer resort on the Atlantic coast noted for its Pebble Beach extending about a mile and is about twenty feet high. No other beach like this in the world. Took train into Bideford on the Torridge, birthplace birthplace of Charles Kingsley. In his book "Westward Ho", be uses the description of this part of the country.

In this country, prohibition gained its" first impetus upon the transfer of the question from the plain of sentiment sentiment and morals to that of economics. When the great captains of industry industry began "to discover that prohibition was an asset to their stockholders, it then entered the sphere of practical politics. x Two generations of temperance reformers reformers had been battling against the demon "Rum'" but had gained very little headway, though doubtless they did much to prepare the ground for the seed. * So long as they confined confined themselves to the wrecks produced by rum, or even the family, public sentiment failed to respond, but when it became a question of millions and millions of dollars of economic loss, then the issue at once assumed a very different aspect. As an emergency the greater portion portion of Europe 'did, over night, what this country has been coming to by evolution through many generations.
