Professor Says Canada Could Make Mflikwas With It. A proposal whereby the Dominion can make $6,000,000 to $10,000,000 by substituting nickel for silver coins has been submitted to the Federal authorities authorities at Ottawa by Prof. Leacock, of McGill University. The professor, explaining his scheme, points out that silver is only a token tp-day, and can be replaced by nickel, or tin, or celluloid, celluloid, for that matter. He would call in tiie $20,000,000 of silver coins in circulation and sell the metal in them as bullion. There is about seventy cents worth of silver in a dollar's worth of coins. Nickel is worth fifty cents a pound, and the total coinage could be replaced for $350,000. The cost of coinage would be offset by the saving now and in the future in buying buying nickel instead of silver. The professor professor proposes that the banks should act as agencies in exchanging the nickel for the silver coins. He undertakes undertakes to carry out the scheme himself without salary. He suggests that the original recoinage should bear the stamp: "War money of Canada, 1917," and it would act as a monument of Canada's national thrift. * SPEEDING SUB. CAMPAIGN.

The "lid" is being tilted so often by saloonkeepers in England that the liquor dealers themselves, fearing this continued winking at the closing time, may advance the interests of prohibition, have launched a movement movement for a more rigid enforcement of the law. It is proposed that any violations of the regulations will result in the suspension suspension of the license until the end of the war. Another proposal is that a second violation of the law be punished punished by imprisonment, and that the offender be debarred from further employment employment in the liquor trade. In Birmingham the liquor interests have organized a vigilant police service service of their own to see that the law is not violated. .> He Thinks.

Huns Toning Out Three a Week to Destroy Food Ships. Information has come to the London London Mail that Germany is concentrating concentrating every ounce of energy and all the resources of her shipbuilding capacity to the construction of supersubmarines. supersubmarines. The Huns still have hopes of forcing Britain to consider peace by a strong U-boat campaign which will seriously interfere with Britain's food supply.

In general dimensions they are similar to the U-53 which recently visited the American coast. England's food supply is to be cut off in every direction possible and it is understood that Hindenburg has been given control of the fleet as well as the army, and is of the opinion that he will 'hot have to defeat the British army in France if he can deal a heavy enough blow to the ships carrying England's food supply, if fomTmsagrees DRINK HOT WATER 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 the i deepness of the fog the battery seems 1 to shoot into a little drab world all its own. The Germans, however, have been bombarding one of their recently lost positions. It is a favorite occupation of the German gunners--this shelling a position they know so. well after they have b x een driven from it. And such "strafing" calls for a reply, even if the enveloping fog permits one to see scarcely beyond the grim muzzle of the giant gun itself. Such fighting as this makes war seem intensely imperial, and in the colorless language of the official communique communique may appear something like this: "There was considerable hostile shelling to-day against our front on both sides of the Ancre. Our retaliation retaliation was prompt and effective." One knew that if the British shells were truly searching their way through the opaque mist to their charted destination the reply must be all that the communique claimed. Friendly and Unfriendly Shells. To one only casually acquainted 'with the noises of a battlefield there is always bewilderment at first as to which are the "friendly" shells going over toward the enemy and which are the very unfriendly visitors coming over, to burst in a vhld destroying fury. In the mystic grayness of the dripping fog the bewilderment was accentuated, the ordinary whistle and "crump" of the vari-calibred shells translated into a veritable witches' chorus. So intense was the bombardment bombardment at one time, with the shells rushing in opposite directions overhead, overhead, that the mingled sounds became like the singing of storm winds. Each calibre shell has its own particular particular plaint, sometimes sadly melancholy melancholy in the distance and again spitefully spitefully fierce in its nearness. It is a great source of satisfaction when, under the tutelage of an experienced officer, one comes to distinguish for one's self the difference between the outgoing screech of the friendly shells and the incoming "whang" of what the "Tommies" call "another present from the Boches." Visitors to tne British front are always always -impressed by the absolute indif- ferefto of the English, Canadian and Australian soldiers to the indiscrim- ate shelling so frequently indulged in by the Germans.
