A baby's medicine is even more essential for Baby. Remedies primarily prepared for grown-ups are not interchangeable. It was the need of @ remedy for the common ailments of Infants and Children that brought Castoria before the public after years of research, and no claim has been made for it that its use for over 30 years has not prove. What is CASTORIA? Castoria is a harmless substitute for Castor Cil, Paregoric, Drops and Soothing Syrups. - It is pleasant; It contains neither Opium, Morphine nor other narcotic Substance. age is its guarantee.

Look at the map. Arabia is sep- | arated from northeast Africa by the Red Sea. Until recent years the sep« aration was not complete because of ~1 a land strip a: the north end connects ing Afriea with Asia. Through this strip 'was dug the Suex Canal, join- ing the waters of the -Red Sea with those of the Maditerranean During the war one of the cipal objectives of tha Turks the Suez Canal.

Enemy opposition apart, the main difficul{y of that march was the water supply. Along most of the route | water that would serve for animals was obtainable by sinking wells, but it was too brackish for human be- ings. In places there was water that Bedouins could and did drink, but it was too salty for Europeans At Kantara there was nead of 'wat- er for many thousands of soldiers, and it had to be fetched thither in tanks from the "sweet water canal" which runs parallel to the Suez Canal, west of the latter, The lower Nile, being invaded for a long distance by the tides of the Mediterranean, is salty) But the 'sweet water canal" taps the river at a point far up, bringing northward a' plentiful supply of fluid good to drink. It was Allenby who hit upon the idea of tapping the "sweet water * canal" and fetching its water by a "siphon" across the Suez Canal to Kantara, whence it could be carried by pipe line through the desert into Arabia and as far as the army might proceed. The army engineers undertook the business with great expeditiousness and in a remarkably short time a twelve-inch pipe was laid, connecting the 'sweet water canal" with Kan- tara. It was, of course, an iron pipe, and the sections required for cross- ing the Suez Canal were laid on the bottom of that waterway. 3 It may be said here. by way of pa- renthesis, that the British, 'to help in the defence of the Suez Canal, had resorted to a very curious and inter- "esting expedient. They dug out gaps in its banks in a number of places and therein put battleships, of obso- lste pattern but formidably gunned, to serve as forts. As Allenby's army advanced a rail- road was built, keeping pace with it, to facilitate transportation In the beginning, before the pipe line was constructed water was carried , by camels to the workers and the troops guarding them, in tanks of galvaniz- ed iron. As the railroad progressed, the water was forwarded by rail and siphoned into canvas reservoirs erect- ed in convenient places, These reservoirs were called 'water dumps," and were made of water- proofed white or green canvas, their average capacity being about 2,300 gallons. From them the water was siphoned into camel-borne iron tanks for distribution to the troops. The railroad was built in stretches of five to ten miles and at the end of | each strétch wells were sunk tq pro- | cure water for the horses and camels. 'Then a small party of engineers | would go ahead, protected by mount- {ed troops, and search for water | 'This method was pursued after the pipe line, which was carried steadily abead through the desert, had been put into operation, fort!it was very desirable to economize the supply of drinking water for the soldiers, and the animals could get" along well enough with the somewhat brackish fluid derived from wells. Experience proved that the most | likely place to look for water was at the foot of one of those high sand dunes which, driven by wind, are per- petually though slowly traveling over the desert. Such a dune has a steep Side-- which is the side away from the prevailing wind--and at the bot- tom of this sand clif was a good lace to dig. The most interesting part of the Story, however, is the bringing of the Nile across the Red Sea. For that, in effect, was what was accomplish- ed, inasmuch as the Suez Canal is a continuation, thougu artificial, of that body of water. And when the mir- {acle was actually performed, Arabia, in obedience to the ago-old prophecy, regained her freedom. the. miracle The waters prin. was to When Allenby's forces got as far as * the Judean hills much rain water was found stored from the previous wig- ter in curious "cisterns" hollowed out of the rock.

However, a mo: - ment's cor tion of the problem shows how much it is our duty to assume the obligations and carry out the work necessitated to a successful conclusion. It is a well known fact that in our democratic system of Government Cabinet Ministers and leaders of the country are, by reason of the enor- mous amount of work devolving upon them in connection with their re- spective duties, utterly and hope- lessly handicapped by lack of time from going outside their departments and viewing, with open mind, the wider i for the welfare, not only of Canada, but of the Empire. To the members of the Government, there- ft is a tter of deep concern that*a body of men and women.-meet together and formulate higher poli- ciss of the prosperity of 'the Dom- inion on the seas. . Careful thought is given to the creation and formu- lation of thesé policies, and, thus, in due time, the Government is seizéd with facts most vital to the develop- mant of Canada. It is to create' the essential! volume of information and spread it through- out the county that the Navy League of Canada is in existence, That Can- ada needs true and proper defence upon the seas 'is so axiomatic that one almost hesitated to state it, yet self-evident as It may seem, never was there a time in history when ine terest was at £0 low an. ebb, so far as the Dominion Government is cone cerned. Reconimendations have been made to them by the grpatest naval teacher of all time, but Wttle action has been taken. The Navy League of Canada has placed itself on record as favoring Admiral Js ' extensive naval program, which calls for an annual outlay of $25,000,000 in the Dor inion. The amount may seem larg but in its expenditure we only have protection of our coast lines; it does not provide for participation in any blow which might effect the Empire. Too long have we allowed the Mother Country to bear the full burden of the naval defence. We must make our fair contribution and this can- not be done for less than $25,000,000 per annum. It should not be over- looked in this cornection that Great Britain will turn over to Canada the. ships which this program calls for and that, therefore, our expense will be solely for upkeep, consequently our coniribution per-annum will be less than the figures quoted. ' 1 ple, nite p fora, To Detect Fake Furs. The prospective purchaser of furs is embarrassed by the multiplicity of trade names encountered, many of which are confusing and misleading. Rabbit is found masquerading as sable, seal, ermine or chinchilla, woodchuck and muskrat as mink, sable, skunk or seal, hare as sable or fox, goat as leopard or bear. There is only one way to detect certainly' whether a fur is what it purports to be or is a fake, and this is furnished by the microscope. Every hair has four elements: (1) the medulla, or pith, consisting ef many ceils. or chambers, either separated or massed; (2) the cortex, or tough, horny body of the hair; (3) the pig- ment granules, scattered about in the cortex, which give the hair its color; (4) the cuticle, or scaly covering. The stryctures of thé medulla----discontin- uous, continuous, interrupted or frag- mentary--and of the cuticle, taken taken together, are characteristic of the animals. The sc--ies of the cuticle are the most readily usable. They oare variously arranged like shingles on a Yoof or in continuous bands. To examine the fur a few hairs are taken, well washed in alcohol and ether and examined under the micro- scope. It is often necessary to dye them in order to bring out their Structure; some must be dyed in one way to bring out the medulla and in another way to bring out scales, for the two cannot be observed together in the same hair, ------ Vessel's Tonnage Explained. In discussions of the size and ca- pacity ef vessels "deadweight" ton- nage is the difference between the number of tons, (of 2,240 pounds) of water a vessel displaces "light" and the number of tons it displaces whea submerged to the "load water lime." "Cargo" tonnage refers to either "weight" or "measurement." The welght ton in North America and Great Britain is the English long ton of 2,240 pounds. A megsurement ton represents forty cubic feet of space, 'Gross' tonnage refers to vessels a not to cargo. It is found by di- viding the capacity of the vessel's closed-in spaces in cubic feet by 100. A vessel ton is 109 cubic feet. "Net" tonnage is a vessel's gross tonnage less the space occupied by crew, engie room, bunkers, ¢te. In other words, it is the space available for passengers and cargo. The "displacement" of a vessel is the absolute weight in long tons of the vessel and its contents. Its "light" displacement is its weig without stores, coal or cargo. Its "loaded" displacement is the weight of the vessal with cargo, fuel and stores. _ / a The Bridal Wreath.

This 10-Day Test Has shown millions the way to white teeth All statements approved by high dental author ilies The method is 'embodied in a dentifrice called Pepsodent --a tooth paste considered ideal by authorities. It is believed that its use will create a new dental era. This is how millions have found the way to whiter, safer teeth. You see the results on evegy ; hand -- perhaps in teeth you envy. Send now for this simple ten-day test and see what your own yteeth show, Supplied on request A ten-day tube of Pepsodent is now sent to all who ask -- to 10,000 people daily. This is done to let everyone know quickly what it does. - 5 Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the digestant of albumin. The film is albuminous matter. The object of Pepsodent is to dissolve it, then to day by day combat it. Pepsin must be activated, and the usual agent is an acid harmful to the teeth. That is why it long seemed barred. But science has found a harmless activating method, so it can be daily. applied: to the film.

Cut out the coupon now. Why teeth discolor There is on your teeth a viscous film. You can feekit with your tongue. It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays. That film is the teéth's great enemy. It dims them and destroys them. The tooth brush fails ta end it, fér the ordinary tooth paste cannot dissolve it. So for 'months be- tween your dental cleanings it may do a ceaseless «damage. It is the film-coat that discolors, not. the teeth. Film is the basis of tartar. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in coptact with the teeth to cause decay. Millions of germs breed in it, They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea--a trouble which. few escape. Dental science has for years sought a way to fight that film. Five years ago the way was found and convincing tests have proved it. Now leading dentists everywhere advise it, and milliéns of people have been led to employ it. epsad REG.
