BOOK FOR PERSONAL USE, Items Will Furnish Complete Identi- fication Should the Owner be Wounded or Taken Prisoner. A new pay book for the use of the! men of the Canadian Expeditionary Force will shortly be issued to the soldiers at Barriefield Camp, and it promises to be one of the mest use- ful ever devised. It will not only Serve as a memorandum of all finan- cial nmatters for the soldier, but will | furnish him a complete record of | every item that he wishes to know, | The identification value of the book will also be great as such a book| found on a soldier would be a com-| plete identification of him and an-| swer all questions about the man that the record office or his friends might wish to know. : The blanks are filled in with such information as the name of the unit and part of that unit such as squad- ron, company or battery that the man is in. The man's regimental number, rank and full name with the date of attestation and his religious persuasion are also placed after blanks left for the purpose. Some information in the book is also of interest. It reads as follows: | "The Canadian Pay and Record Office, Westmister House, 7 Mill- bank, London, S.W., is a central ine formation bureau which links up the tingents with their relatives in all parts of the world; consequently to enable that office to be in a position at all times to furnish the latest in- formation to relatives and friends it is essential that the unit in the field sent accurate information to the COL.T.D.R.HEMMING.

With the issuing of cheques every two weeks to every one of the 1,000 men in a battalion there are some interesting cases resulting. It is a surprising fact that hundreds of peo- ple leave their money in the bank ~{ and collect cheques rather than both- er with changing them into currency or depositing them. Whether this is the result of an effort to be patri- otic or just carelessness with money matters, the result is that the banks have hundreds of cheques outstand- ing, some of which may never come in. When the 77th Battalion left there were some $50,000 worth of uncashed cheques outstanding, and while some of these have since come back, all will not be received. The 109th evidently comes of a country | where the people are not strong for actual cash. Thousands of dollars' worth of cheques on this battalion have not been presented for payment J. F.

Count Boni de Castellane Submits New Evidence. Rome, July 26,--On behalf 'of Count Boni de Castellane, his at- torney, in the suit before the Holy See for the annulment of his mar- riage with Anna Gould, has present- ed to the Pope new evidence which, according to the attorney, will prove that Miss Gould married Count de Castellane with the intention of di- |voreing him if later she became dis- | satisfied with the marriage bond. | This, according to canonical law, is {sufficient to annul a Catholic mar- iriage, the attorney says. As matrimonial cases before the Holy See can always be resumed if fresh facts.are brought forward, the {| Pope has decided to submit the case {in its new aspects to the same com- {mission of cardinals that examined into It previously and decided against !the annulment.

You will get better and finer food and insure its healthfulness Housewives are sometimes led to use in- ferior baking powders because of apparent lower cost, but there is very little difference in practical use--about one cent for a whole cake or pan of biscuits--a mere trifle when you _consider the vast difference in healthfulness in favor of food made with Royal Baking Powder. Royal Baking Powder is made from cream of tartar, derived from grapes--a natural 'ood product, as and used in the manufacture of some baking pow- ders because it is cheaper.
