Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or un- derstands how to properly care for her- self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experi- ence with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. There is nothing more charming than a'happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hi=:ard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with am- ple time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial. Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism. In many homes childless there bham's Vegetable Compound makes women normal, healthy and strong. If you want special advice write to Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. (confl- dential) Lynn, Mass.

ARMY The Work the Nursing Sisters Car. ried on at the Niagara Camp--1ti Innovation Was a Distinct Success Canadian girls, like their sisters everywhere, get the reputation o! having a weakness for brass buttons For instance, at a dance, what chance has a sable-garbed civilian when there are military waltzing? So far in Canada this feminine admiration for things militant has been only pusaive ; which is to say that the girls of the Dominion have been largely content to be mere spectators of the splendours of military pomp, some times it is true being carried away by the glitter, and then expressing their effervescent spirits as smart cadets in: amateur theatricals or at the college masquerade. Till this yeur in Canada there were no real soldier girls--live soldier girls who could reel off the Militia List and gossip volubly of the summer camp. June, 1910, is somewhat of a mem- orable date in the history of military Canada; six girls went to Niagara camp in full regalis--and for once the dashing captains in their proud plumage were not the heroes. There were heroines -- Nursing Sisters Mor ris, Leischman, McGiffin, Daymon, Hammel snd Hatch. On the pretty blue uniforms are shoulder straps, and the brass buttons on the epau- lettes indicate that each of the young ladies is dignified with the rank of lieutenant during her stay in camp. The Nursing Sisters are attached to the Army Medical Corps. Bringing them to camp--that was a step in ad- vance for the corps, another example of the progress which has character- ized the militia during the past ten years; which has substituted the Army Berviee Corps for the bull-beef contractor, and organized the Army Medical Corps in place of the regi- mental doctor and his slim, black bag, turning the whole Canuck army from a crudity into a system. "What useful purpose is served by bringing trained nurses to a summer military camp?' the sceptic will ask. Talk to Col. Fenton, C.O., Field Am- bulance No. 10. He will dilate upon the advantage of the nurse with mili- tary experience. "Nursing experience to be found in summer camp?' you say. '"Pshaw!" Then the colonel und his assistants will quietly laugh at your incredulity, and tell you how dead wrong you are. This year there were eleven days of Niagara camp. Now for the casualty list. In that period out of 4,000 soldiers, 129 sick and wounded were cared for by the Nursing Sisters. The maladies ranged from indigestion and gunshot-wound down the list to celds and pneumonia. - One case of appendicitis was record- ed--quite notable, for the victim for the first time in the Canadian mili- tary history was operated on, and successfully too, in the open air: What of the hospital equipment at Niagara? Eight tents comprised the hospital, each tent a ward containing six beds. The capacity of the hos- pital was, therefore, 48 patients and the maximum was well averaged during the cleven days. There was an operating tent and a diet tent. The wards were regularly patrolled, diet sheets were kept, records of the patient, his progress and treatment, were set down. In fact the canvas institution was a city hospital in epitome--one difference; the ozone flapped through the tent wards; chas- ing away the odors of the apothecary. The innovation of the Nursing Sis- ters at Niagara camp was a distinct success. It is understood that the Militia Department have it under consideration to invite more trained nurses from the big hospitals to the summer camps throughout the Do- minion. 'This policy would bear fruit in case of active service; the girls who have learned the routine of the regimental lines would then be able to superintend the operations of the military hospitals - which would ke established. A Versatile Soldier, Chartered accountant, graduate in agriculture, traveler, athlete and sol- dier, Lieut.-Col. James George Ross is one of the most all-round men in Montreal, where he was born in 1861. He has seen long service in the Cana- dian militia; beginning with the On- tario Field Battery at Guelph in 1879 At that time he was plugging up agri- culture at the O.A.C. Just after he t his degree of B.8S.A. from Guelph e took a trip fo far-away Manitoba-- about the time the C.P.R. was poking & nose into the province. After an extensive tour in the West he return- pd to Montreal and went into account- ing in his father's office. At the same time he linked up with the Victoria Rifles; became identified with all the athletic and club life there was in Montreal--as well as much of its fin- wncial development, being soon at the fead of his deceased father's firm nowshoe runner, life member of the Montreal Amateur Athletic Associa. tion, expert canoeist, crack player of Britannia Football Club--particularly bn snowshoes, however, he made a name, having several medals and re pords on the wickers. But always interested in the militia, he went from the: Vietoria Rifles to the 5th' Royal Highlanders, of which in 1909 he be- came lieutenant-colonel. Shorter, But Not Uglier. The English word "typist," as ap- plied to a stenographer, as become familiar lately through the newspaper stories of the capture of Dr. Crippen and Miss Leneve. The word is much more concise than stenographer, and might well be adopted in this coun- try. The words "Lift," as rip- tive of an elevator, and "tram" of a street car, have also the advantage of brevity. The nomenclature of many things in England is preferably to that we in Canada employ, Both Were Scared. Charles Fox of Long Lake, near Brockville, met a black bear on the highway recently, and to eseape a mix-up climbed a slender tree. The limb on which he stood broke and he fell to the ground directly in front of Bruin. The bear ame frightened as well as Fox, and both ran away in Spt eoares u ge --~ STORY OF FORT NELSON. Proposed Terminal of H, B. Railway Is 224 Years Old. Bincs Fort Nelson has been almost decided on as the seaport and term. inal of the Hudson Bay Railway, it becomes interesting as u matter of his. tory tw go back 224 years to the time when this fort was established. Though the Hudson Bay Co. was incorporated in 1670, it was in the year 1686 before actual \rading posts or forts were es- tablished on Hudson Bay. Fort Nel aD was. the first of these forts, and us soon as the French, who had begun w monopolize Eastern Canada, heard of it, Denonville looked upon it as an intrusion of French rights and sent a party of eighty mien under Troyes of Montreal to wipe cut Fort Nelson and other forte which had Leen established in the north. I. Verville was one of this party and to. their credit be it said, that they traveled up the Ottawa River to Lake Temiscaming, up the Moatreal River, and by portages into one of those large rivers running north into- Janes Bay, a trip, which even in the present day would be consider. ed a great feat. The Montreal River was one of the earliest inhabited parts of Ontario, and touriste going to Elk City to-day all note Graveyard Point at Mountain Lake, where some of the earliest settlers in Canada are buried. These Frenchmen wiped out all thc posts and drove the Hudson Bay fac tors and their associates out. A year or two later Fort Hudson was re occupied by the Hudscn Bay Co. and a few muzzle loading cannon of small dimensions put up. I. Verville went up by sea in 1697 in the Pelican with three other ships and about a hundred men. In the straits, the Pelican got separated from the other vessels and sailed on to Fort Nelson. Nearing the fort, three vessels were sighted, which I. Verville thought were his owu, but on approaching them found he was mistaken. They were Brilish wer- chantmen armed with small canncn. The Hampshire, the largest oi the British vessels, fought until riddled with shot so that she and all en beard went down, The Hudson Bay, a small. er vessel, was captured, and *'The Daring," which belied her name, fled Iberville's vessel the Pelicsint; had re- ceived a quid pro quo from the Hamp- shire before she went down and was riddled so that after she anchored. she split amidships and was lw Nearly a hundred men wesc stranded but they waited until the Palnuer and the two other vessels arriwsl before laying siege to the fort. Ths days the factor and his meu hemid «ut be- fore surrendering, and the vet of Iberville's work was felt wail the treaty of Utrecht in 1715, when Eug land secured undisputed righ Ww the Hudson Bay territory as well aa Now- foundland and Acadia. Fort Nubson then is associated with the fms petty quarrels between the French and Eng- lish in the new world, and is mesor- able in the history of Canads, as wit. nessing the first naval battle im Cana. dian waters. Subsequent eveats show the prestige and power of the Hudson Bay Co., how a handful of men stamp- ed their nationality upou this new land by erecting trading posts and de- fending their commerce with arins. By this, the west was held British until colonized under British soverssgniy From the day Henry Hudson lire dis- covered this inland sea umiil today, Britain has held to the discuvery he made, but Fort Nelson wi!l ever be memorable because uf tha part it play. ed in the early history of Cunada, over two hundred years ago.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1913. ° "OUR GREAT INLAND SEA. Hudson Bay Is the Only Sea Which Is Bordered By But One Country. Winnipeg Town Topics, a week-end paper, says: Hudson Bay is destined to figure in | world politics, in addition to figuring im Canadian politics. The United States Government pro- poses to question the right of Canada to territorial jurisdiction over that body of salt water. It has been evident for some time that this matter would come up for consideration. The position of Hudson Bay is unique. It is the only large sea having con- nection with the ocean that is sur- rounded on all sides by land under the same flag. The entrance to the bay being more than sixty miles wide, in the narrow- est part, it cannot be eaid that this connection is by way of waters that ly understood. The Baltic Sea is a large body of water with a narrow entrance, but ite shores belong to three nations. The Mediterranean has a parrow an- trance from the ocean, but its shores are owned by several countries. Behring Sea is in a way enclosed by land, but its entranee from the ocean is. wide, and the shores are owned by two countries. The Sea of Japan ie nearly all en closed by iand, although there are sev- oral entrances from the 'ocean, but its shores are owned by two nations. The Red Sea has a narrow entrance, but its shores also belong to two na- tions. The same is true of the Black Sea. Hudson Bay is landlocked all but at the entrance, which is 60 miles wide, and no question has ever been raised that the land all along its shore line, which must measure 3,000 miles, be- longs to Canada. The question is one which, if rais ed, will probably go to The Hague Tri- bunal for settlement. 5 It is hig important that the jur- a over these waters should be maintained, if it can be un- der the principles of international law and the interpretations of treaties. A Reformed Horse-Thief. Years ago, when horse-stealing was a common pastime in Ontario, "Joe" Rogers, now Superintendent of the On- tario Provincial Police, tracked and corralled 'a brawny horse-thief up in! the envirgps of a little town near Geor- | gian Bay. This man was rapidly mak. ing a record for The Police Gazette When Rogers got hold of him he pul!- ed out a knife and sunk it in the | detective's shoulder--not, however, be- | fore he had got a life scar from Rog- | ers, with which he was retired to | Kingston Penitentiary for seven years. Some years afterwards Rogers went | sess up to a northern town in Ontario for | a hunt. He met a doctor who pro-| posed an expedition to an outpost where there was good moose and one | sole inhabitant; a little-known char- acter who had gone quietly in, built | a house, taken up land, married and | had got a family and was fairly well known to hunters in the fall, Mention of the man's name and the description convinced Rogers. "Why, | I guess that's the horse-thief I put in the penitentiary after he had knifed | me. That's exactly who he is." "Hmm !"" said the doctor. "Well, ( for heaven's sake not a word about | that round here. There isn't a soul that suspects him." Years went by before up in that same town doing Government detec. tive work following a circus for erooks, Joe mooched round among the canvas and saw near the fence a man with a woman and several children--who the moment he got sight of him came over. "Say, I guess you're Detective Rog- ers." "That's me, my friend. Do I know 2» you "Well, IT guess yes. I knifed you once. Yes; I'm farming now. Got a good piece of land up north here. Yonder's my wife and family." "By George! I'm glad to hear it," said Rogers. That same ex-horse-thief is now a wealthy man. 4 Used Rum and Money Too. The charges and counter-charges of political corruption which were recent y voiced in connection with the Mani. loba provincial elections have led cer- tain observers in the Maritime Pro- vinces to recall a political incidenv in Prince Edward Island several years ago. An ardant supporter of one of the | Island's: well-known public men ~ame| to him during a campaign, in great | distress of mind. "Mr.--," he said, | "them * Tories are using rum and | money in this fight. Yes, sir, rum and money." ) The candidate was appropriately shocked. "I can hardly believe thay such practices are being pursued," he said, "are you quite sure?" "Am I sure? Why, look here, Mr. --, I was asking Johu 8mith last night to vote for you, but I ecouidn't get much satisfaction from nim. I offered him $2 'and stil! he wouldn't promise, Then (in a whisper), T slip. ped a little bottle imo his pocket and he said he would come back and see me later. And | watched him going across the street to the Tory rooms and he never came back. Yes, sir, the Tories are using rum and money, and it ought to be stopped."
