A Canadian Defence Force Being Raised Through the Militia Units, ' Twa weeks ago the Department of Militia and Defence at Ottawa issued an outline of the plan which had been drawn up for the raising of a force of 60,000 men §n Canada for the home defence force. Sir Edward Kemp, Minister of Militia and De- fence, in sending out the memoran- dum, said, "It is wecessary that the country should not be left without an adequate force for home defence in casé of emergency & It is in order that the Dominion will not be found asleep that the Government has issued this cal] for 50,000 men. These men will be trained in military arts under the control of serious men. They will be educated in the needs of the time, and will be physically treated so that their bodies may be fit to bear up the spirit which is in all Canadians so that they may perform to the end their duties as citizens. The term of enlistment, training, clothing, equipment and subsistence are the same as for the overseas forces. Separation allowances are given to married men in addition to their pay, and it is hoped that of the many thousands of men in Canada who want to serve the Empire in the present struggle but cannot for some reason or other go overseas will take this opportunity of doing what they o « NEW MEMBERS ENTERTAINED.

If Tongue is Coated Give "California Syrup of Figs." Every mother realizes, after giving her children "California Syrup of Figs," that this is their ideal laxa- tive, because they love its pleasant taste and it thoroughly cleanses the tender little stomach, liver and bow- els without griping. When cross, irritable, feverish, or breath is bad, stomach sour, look at the tongue, mother! If coated, give a teaspoonful of this harmless "fruit laxative," and in a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, sour bile and yndigested food passes out of the bowels and you have a well, playful child again. When the little system is full of cold, throat sore, has stom- ach-ache, diarrhoea, indigestion, colic--remembér, a good "inside cleansing" should always be the first treatment given. Millions of mothers keep "Cali- fornia Syrup of Figs" handy; théy know a. teaspoonful today saves. a sick child tomorrow. Ask your druggist for a b60-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs" which has directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-fips printed on the bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold here, so don't be fooled. Get the genuine, made by 'California Fi Syrup Company." : ronto yesterday, after spending the Easter holidays with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. T.
