Dr. Andrew Wilson, Dr. Gor- don Stables and Dr. Lascelles Scott, the famous Fnglish an. alyst, have all personally tried Zam-Buk and expressed themselves convinced of its great healing value. Mrs. St. Denls, of Thompson St. Weston, Winnipeg. suffered loug with eczema; and fanally her doctor seid only Zam-Buk could cure her-- another fine tribute of a scientific man to this great herhal healer. Mrs. St. Denis says: "The ec- zema broke out on my nose and one side of my face. 1 could get no sleep because of the irritation and pain, and my face was in such a shocking condition that for two months I did not go out of the house. I applied remedies and my doctor treated me, but without effect, until one day he said that the only thing which would be likely to cure me was Zam-Huk. | procured a supply and to cut « long story short, in a few weeks Zary-Buk cured me completely, leaving no scars."

Instead of getting into the blood, all the fat and flesh producing elements stay In the intestines until they pass from the body as waste.

It was in the closing years of the | 15th and the opening years of the { 16th centuries, when, from the | morasses of the Low { the tulips blossom the from mud. | All Europe had felt the magic touch. | | It was as when the genial warmth of { the April sun sends the sap to the | tree tips and warms the dead brown | lsearth to new verdure. In the very | Joy of newly found faculties litera- ture blossomed with a race of writers | whose work have not been surpass- | ed; artists laid on colors whose i warmth - has been the despair of | artists ever since; artisans produced -| cathedrals, composers produced mus- {dic and all the earth seemed to find | itself, came printing. The laborious copy- ing of monkish hands, which illu- minated many a missal and saved for humanity the learning of the dim classic past, was too slow for an age in whosé veins leaped the blood of reawakened Europe. Such impulses could no more be restrained than can tLe throbbing sap in the trees be stopped from putting forth buds, The demand for words and books was too great, and ingenious minds in the Low Countries, in Italy and England were racking their re- sources to make reading a common' possession. Aldus in Venice, Caxton in London and Plantin in Antwerp were giving the world its first books. It was about the print shop of Plantin-in-Antwerp that the devasta: "tion of war has raged. Works of art more pretentious than this have been razed, but the mediaeval printery seems to have escaped destruction. {It is one of Antwerp's greatest joys. | If war's deadiy hand has not laid it low, you may yet walk through it, you may still see 'the type cases as they have.stood there 400 years in all essentials like the type cases of to-day, you may still take hold of the levers of the old hand presses, the presses that ground out all the books of the world even up to mod- érn days, presses the like of which Ben Franklin, the apprentice printer in Philadelphia, toiled over and whose counterpart may be found in shops. To this day, when etchers Jwant a particularly good proof of their work, they have recourse to an | old hand press, the same in all its principles as you may find in the print shop of Plantin in Antwerp. For, until the type-setting macnine and the cylinder press came, the art of printing remained in all its essen- tials the same art that Plantin and Aldus and Caxton developed, with moxable types, slowly assembled by hand, locked in a chase and inked and paper pressed down by a screw press arrangement worked by hand or power. This man Plantin was one of the mokt interesting men of hfs day, as old Antwerp, of antiquity passing written history, was one of the most interesting cities. Rubens lived dhere and was a friend of Plantin and his son-in-law, Moretus, Rubens whose colors we may not excel, Painter and printer, the art decorative and the art preservative, two of the great agencies for the uplifting of man- kind, for the diffusion of those crafts and graces that lifted men from the bogs of savagery to the l'ght of hu- manity, toiled side by side, each in- tent on his own work. And when Moretus died his friend Rubens painted one of his masterpieces, his Resurrection, for the tomb. of his | friend and placed it in one of the chapels of the wonderful cathedral at Antwerp. { Christopherus Plantinus was the ! learned name of the early printer of Antwerp. Latin was the tongue of learning and men's names, as well | as tomes of knowledge, were inscrib- {ed in its characters. Up to 1865 the printing house he founded had a con- , tinuous existence from the day he started it in 1576. It stands to-day, the accretions of ages, simply having added building after building to the original, until the whole has been tbought by Antwerp and made into the Plantin-Moretus museum. Travel. ers to Antwerp have seen in the' ancient bookshops ushers attired in 16th century costumes, clothes that were in fas when Columbus dis~ covered Ame¥ica, and have felt the magic of that age, just emerging from the relgn of copyists; when folios were printed from blackfaced type of crude design. Plantin, as his name is generally spelled, was born near Tours France. Ho sél vp his first print shop in Antwerp in 1549 ia the midst of the era that was marked by much religious discussion. At a time ters of moment equaling of state, books on religious topics were in great demand and the most noted of the publications that he turned out was a polyglot Bible ia five languages and eight volumes, a prodigious work that occupied four years. Plantin was a patron of learning, if not aectpally learned himself. He was the first publisher to employ men of erudition at high salaries to produce copy, for his 2¢ presses. Men of the profound learn , d his proof sheets. So highly did he prize ae that he offered prizes for the errors in his books, Three years ago the population of the world was 1,630,000,000 persons. tof which the population of the Unit- {ed States was only 6 per cent. .

"Teach "em to shoot!" said Kitch { ener, when he saw the war stretch- ! g ahead for a year or two or three and called for his millions of men. "I don't care whether they know their right foot from their left, whether they c¢an march or not; but they've | got to know how to shoot." | And England has been | to shoot ever since, and | teaching 'em other things besides. { For the making of a soldier these | days does not end with putting a gun in his hands. Nor did Kitchener mean to be taken literally; what he doubt. less meant was that the most un tial thing in the soldier's training the ability to hit the mark. | The" thunderclap that came ott o1 an. almost clear sky in.the closing days of July found England illy pre pared for a Jong war. She lacked | men; she lacked equipment; she lacked everything. Apparently she was not looking for the war cloud to { break. If Belgium had not kept back the tide and confounded the invaders until England could catch her breath, the results might have been different. But in the six months that have | intervened England has net 'been | marking time ; England has been | busy; England has been making sol- | diers. It's been drill, drill, drill and shoot, shoot, shoot, until the coster from Whitechapel and Milé End + Road, the bank clerk from the Strand jand the yeoman from Yorkshire, j along with the Scot and the Welsn- | man and the Irishman, have been | made into soldiers of the King. They have jumped into uniforms of khaki and thrown back their shoulders and obeyed the drill sergeants and reports say Kitchener has sent many thous- ands of them over the channel to be ready for action when the frost lets up its grip. Now, the making of a soldier is a process. It takes some years ordinar- { ily; but in time of emergency they rush it and turn out the finished pro- | duct in quick order. Because Ger- mhny has displayed such extreme. ef- | ficiency in her war machine, do not | think that England lacks efficiency: ! England has been in this war busi- { ness hundreds of years; red-codted { British soldiers have marched across | the pages of history too often and too stubbornly to be left out of the ac- counting in this general melee.. Do not imagine, therefore, because Ger- many had a well-oiled machine of high power whigh was ready to move at a touch with every cog working, , and because England was caught un- | prepared for a big and long fight, that England is going to stay unprepared. Not yet. , There's no better soldier anywhere than Kitchener of Khartoum, and the i training school for British soldiere he has improvised would be hard to beat on short notice. He is taking raw material and run- ning if through, the mill and turning out a British army the world is about | to hear from. This making process | begins when they make a medical ex- amination of the men who troop to | the colors. Then they innoculate them | against typhoid. Then they have set- | ting up drill, to bring up these flat | chests and limber up those muscles. Then they march 'em around in"mufti ~--which is British for ecivilian's clothes--before they give 'em guns. teachi 'em iz | They pay. great attention to the use} of the gun. Great Britain hangs up bags, like the tackling machine of an American football squad, and the re- cruits practice jabbing these dum- mies with their bayonets, Then the shooting! The recruit with his rifie learns to shoot from cover, as he will have to shoot when he gets in action, for they don't do | much of the grand volley firing that Used to make such nice pictures. They have lessons in tactics, in sanitation, in camping, in teaching. The engineers get a chance to build bridges and lay telephone lines and design trenches for the Tommies to dig with their new spades. The scouts learn how to spy out the land and how to be the eyes of the army. In short there's an army in the making this minute' in England, as there has been since August, an army imbued with the spirit and tradition of Great Britain that is about to graduate from its short but arduous currienlum as a full-fledge defence of the Empire. ---------- | Cures By Radium. Out of 749 cases treated at the "Radium Institute during the past year 19 are described as cured, 50 as apparently cured, and 328 improv- ed, As to the rest the results were not apparent at the time the report wus prepared. The tdiseases treated ranged from cancer, in which the re- sults were varying, to spring catarrh, of which even the severest cases were cured. | Superficial growths, such as birth- marks of the "port wine stain" type, i were rendered unnoticable. One of { those to get rid of facial birthmarks ! was a hotel porter who had been kept lout of work because of his disfigure- ment. Warts that defied acids quietly melted away under the influence of radium.

The bolero is worn over an un- derblouse of natural color batiste and falls to the top of a plain, high-walsted skirt. Six yards of 86-inch material make this design. Confining today's lesson to the cut- ting of the skirt, we begin by folding the material carefully and smoothing out wrinkles, If there are any. The back gore Is lald near the edge of the fold, but it 1s not cut on it. The large "O™ perforations must rest over a lengthwise thread for the skirt to have the proper lines. The upper section of the skirt is placed to the right. The front gore is arranged' opposite the back, with the uppef section turned toward the left, so that the waist-line extends a little beyond the notch at the side. The plecing 1s placed on the edge of the fold, and after it is cut should be pinned to the lower edge of the back gore so that It can be stitched quickly. The skirt may be made within a few hours, and instead of one band at the bottom two or three may They should be of graduated width, however. If desired. braiding may be added to correspond with the trimming on the bolero. Sometimes a plain color linen bolero, very short and loose, will top a skirt of stripe or plaid. Then again the,contrasting material may be used merely as trimming--nar- row hems, collar, cuffs and belt of color on white perhaps, of plain on striped or checked stuff.

Motoring of a very different sort from that to which the average auto- mobilist is accustomed is deseribed in an article from its special corre- spondent making the trip from Cape Town to Cairo in The London Daily | Telegraph. The communication dated "Luaputa's Kraal, by runner to Broken Hill," is, in part, as follows: "Since leaving Kashitu we have been following the Government road which leads to some rubber planta- tions near the Chambezi river. It is a strange experience for us to be mo- toring along a road hete, and we are fast forgetting those strenuous days | when, with axe in hand, we labor- | lously cut 'a way for ourselves through the bush. The immediate object of the road is to bring the rubber plantations into communiea- | tion with the railway, but in time to come it may be of more far-reaching importance. "Running 'into the very heart of Northern Rhodesia, it could easily be extended to Abercorn, close by the frontier of| Central East Africa and the southern shores of Lake Tangan- | yika, on which steamers run, plying between ports in German and Bel- glan territory. At the present time Abercorn's mails are cafried a dis- tance of 500 miles by runners, and already there is talk of establishing a4 motor mail service along this new road. "It is a great thing to have this road through a land 'that is not yet opened up.

And then he explained. "A few moments before his boys had rushed to him, breathless and in a state of great excitement, exclaim- ing, 'There is an elephant on the road.' 'A big one?' asked the doctor. | 'Yes, a big one, with huge tusks.' It was a chance not to bé missed, and, snatching up his rifles, the dector crept down to the road to secure the prize. We expressed our regret for the disappointment we must have caused him, and he politely assured us that the pleasure of meeting two white men in there faraway regions was greater than the pleasure of shooting an elephant. Then he gazed at our car, with its wheels hidden in | the grass, its huge khaki bonnet, and faded canvas lashed over the load, 'Well, it is like an elephant,' he said." x Some Choice Woods, Ebony of the best quality comes from India, Ceylon and other tropical | countries, where it is obtained in logs {sometimes 15 and 20 feet long. The very word ebony means dark, and the darkness of the wood incrgases with the age of the tree. It is a very hard | wood and hence it is desirable for fine | furniture making.

Some Interesting Facts About the World's Largest City. Dan' Leno, the famous Englist comedian, used to tell his audiences that when he spoke of eggs he did nol mean fresh eggs or new-laid eggs, o1 "shop 'uns," but merely eggs. It is nécessary to be equally clear and explicit when we talk of London and particularly the population of London, for thére are as many Lon. dons as there are grades of eggs. London, in the strict sense, is the city of London, the population of which within municipal and Parlia- mentary boundaries was at the last census only 19,657, The next biggest London is the Ecclesiastical London, or the diocese of London, with a population of 3,811,827. Curiously enough it con- tains some of the smallest parishes in England, such as St, Alphege, London Wall, which boasts "two families or separate occupiers." Follows then the country of Lone don--an area corresponding with that within the register-general's ta- bles of mortality. And of this Lon- don the population is 4,521,685. Pass we now to the Central Crim- inal Court district, which constitutes yet another London. The people within its borders number no fewer than 6,610,031. Proceeding, we might reach by 0 others. But 'let-us jump at once to! the biggest London of all -- Greater | London. This maze of towns and villages, which corresponds with the city of London and metropolitan police dis- tricts, extends over a radius of 15] miles from Charing Cross, embraces an area of mote than 699 square miles, and comprise a wide belt! known as the Outer Ring, in which | the population is increasing with ex- | traordinary rapidity. | In ten years -- from 1901 fo 1911 --that of East Ham grew from 96.- | 008 to 133,504, or at the rate of i vo,0 39.1 per cent., and in the previous period the increase was actually 193.6 per cent. Equally remarkable was the peopleing of Walthamstow, | In 1901 the population was 95,131, ten years later it bad inereased to 124,697 -- 31 per cent,, compared with 105.3 per cent. in the corre- sponding period 1891-1901. Tottenham and Willesden have al- so grown with marked rapidity. The leading case, however, is Ilford, the population of which increased 277.6 per' cent. in ten years--1901-1911-- and at the rate of 89.6 in 1891-1901. Altogether, the population of this belt is 2,730,002, bringing that of | Greater London up to 7,251,683. _| While, however, Greater London is | officially regarded as corresponding | with the city of London and metro. | politan police districts, it has of late | years, consequent on the increased fa- ciligdes for traveling, spread farther al Actually, it extends in some | directions more than 15 miles from | Charing Cross. It might be contend- | ed, therefore, that the population of | Greater London much exceeds seven | and a quarter millions. Enjoy "The Hymn if Hate." A few days ago the students at the Royal College of Music, London, | sang in chorus Lissauer's "Hymn of Hate," the words and music of which were reproduced recently in a Lone don newspaper in order to hear what | the so-called formidable hymn sound. ed like. Sir Walter Barrett conduct. ed the choir. Sir Hubert Parry, a leading Brits ish musician and director of the col lege, said afterward: { "Sir Walter asked the students to ging the hymn with plenty of sndrl | to express honestly the intentions of | the. composer, but they laughed too much to snarl. However, when they came to the word England they rolled it out in fine style, and Lis- sauer would have been delighted to | have heard its reverbrating note, { "What do I think of the music? | 'Well, the man whe'wrote it certainly knew his business. The music car« ries out the idea "intended, and is unquestionably better than the poe- try, and I felt like sending Lissauer a telegram telling him how much we had enjoyed his work and what in- finite amusement it had afforded us, but did not see how I was going. to insure the telegram reaching him." Why India Fights. One of the most surprising out- comes of the wasfare now raging in Furope, a warfare remarkable for its surprises, has been the loyalty of India. For the last eight years the assertion has been dinned into our ears that India is seditious.
