If by proper selection of food one run feel strong and fresh at the end of a day's work, it is worth While to know the kind of food that will pro- fiuce this result. A school teacher in the West says in this connection: "At the time I commenced the use (if Grapeâ€"Nuts my health was so poor that I thought I would have to give up my work altogether. I was rapid- ly losing in weight, had little appetite, was nervous and sleepless, and exper- ianCd almost constantly a feeling of exhaustion.

The Prince went to France and ob tained a commission in the French army, and wanted to fight with the French soldiers in this war.

King Alfonso persuaded his cousin to give up such an idea, and he has rewarded him by reinstating him in the Spanish army. father was enjoying his English title of Duke of Edinburgh. She and Prince Alfonso made a. runaway match a few years ago, and King Alfonso showed his displeasure by depriving his cousin of his military honors. He has loaned an apartment at the Prado Palace, not far from Madrid, to his cousin. Prince Alfonso, and his young wife. Princess Beatrice of Saxe~ Cobourg-Gotha. She is a younger sis- ter of the Queen of Rumania, and was educated in England, when her The summer air of the Spanish capi- tal is said to be far from healthy, and the death rate is double that of Lon- don, consequently Queen Victoria and her children have took up their resi« dence at La Granja, near the city 01' Segovia, only an hour’s trip by motor car to the capital. The King goes back and forth nearly every day, act- ting as his own chauffeur, to meet his Ministers and keep in close touch with official affairs. The Spanish royal family is one of the few in Europe which takes its sum- mer holiday as usual, unvexed by the momentous issues of the war. There seems to be no doubt that Spain will remain neutral as long as the war con- tinues, this being possible through her geographical position away from the theatre of war. King Alfonso and Queen Victoria did not go to England for their annual summer visit because, of course, that would indicate their sympathy with Great Britain in the war, and would be considered unneu- tral. The Queen has been accustomed to go to the Isle of Wight to visit her mother, Princess Henry of Battenberg, while the King enjoyed the Cowes re- gatta.

The calling of the soldier has no more part in the lust of the eyes, the pride of the flesh. Battles are won by poison- ing the air by chemical prescription. Battles Are Won By Poisoning the Air By Chemicals. One of the curious features of this war is the reversion to methods of fighting counted obsolete. The gren- ades, bayonet-sparring, airmen’s darts, and many others, remind us of ancient days. And there is talk of rigging out the soldier in steel helmet, cuirass, and shield. In truth it would not take long for the Roman legionary to get his hand in this new Gallic war. The “Black Marias” and “Jack John- sons” he would hardly take kindly to. But once “blooded” to the artillery the rest would come to him as all in the day’s work. For the Roman man- at-arms was ever a great man with the spade and the short “gladius” it was that won Rome’s battles. How he would smile to hear that the French are abbreviating their bayonets. Macaulay says somewhere that the nation that shortens its weapons lengthens its borders. May it be so in this case! About the only good thing some men have is a reputation for being bad. Messrs. Henderson Co.’s latest monthly circular issued from Ceylon and just to hand states: “A feature of the market was the record prices paid for flavory teas. The oldest members of the tea trade in Ceylon could not remember such high prices being realized before.” Tea suddenly becomes one of the items of war material, and the price has gone up in the primary market about thirty per cent., with prospects of a real shortage and still further advances in price. When warring armies start buying tea for rations on the field with its attendant great waste, and the entire Russian people are suddenly deprived of vodka and turned to tea, then it can scarcely be surprising that such a fluctuation should occur in the price of tea. From the day of his injury he had been unable to hear or speak until he was taken with other convalescents to a moving picture entertainment in Liverpool. While watching a comic picture he suddenly burst out in laughter. The next moment he found that he was able to talk and hear normally. Robert Beck, of Chicago, who was made deaf and dumb by an injury sus- tained while fighting with the British Army, suddenly recovered his speech and hearing in a Liverpool hospital. Beck, who was a motor cycle police- man on the Chicago force when the war began, became a despatch bearer with the British troops, and was struck down by a sniper’s bullet in Flanders. He was taken to Liverpool. Wounded British Soldier Also Able to Hear Now. There is nothing to equal Baby’s Own Tablets for little ones. They are absolutely safe and are guaranteed free from opiates and never fail in giving relief from the minor ills of babyhood and childhood. Concerning them Mrs. Albert Bergeron, St. Aga- pit, Que., writes: “My baby was suf- fering from constipation and teething troubles and Baby’s Own Tablets quickly cured him. Now I always keep them in the house.” The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Germany Holds the Record for Fan- tastic Names. I Scattered throughout England are some curious inn names, but Germany probably holds the record for out-of- the-way signs and fantastic names. The most absurd results are usually obtained by the name of some animal with a more or less unsuitable object. The Comfortable Chicken and the Cold Frog, both of them in Berlin, are cer- tainly left in the shade by the Angry Ant (Ort, in Westphalia), and the Stiff Dog (Berlin). The Lame Louse is an inn in a suburb of Berlin, and not far from it is the thirsty Pelican, The Dirty Parlor, the Bloody Bones, the Musical Cats, the Four Hundred- weight Man, and the Boxers’ Den are all in Berlin or the neighborhood, and the Old Straw Bag in Leipzig. The Open Bunghole is in Stadtohen, in the Palatine, and the Shoulderblade in Jerichow.

One day Pat appeared on the street with a huge tear in his coat sleeve. “Look here, Pat,” protested a friend, “why don’t you get that hole mended?” “Not Oi, sir,” said Pat, “2. hole may be the result of an accident, but a patch ig a sure sign of poverty.” Go forth to-day with cheer in your heart! And so, go forth on every day. Surprising will be the power' of it. You will soon redeem the errors of the past; you will do better work and more work. And your cheerfulness and work will cheer, inspire and up- lift everyone around you. Oh, wonder- ful is the power of cheerfulness! Oh, wonderful is the good it does. “Yes, it all illustrates current pro- gress. A year ago, over the same episode, we would have been scrap- ping.” “You must have beer on diplomatic matters.” “With the utmost courtesy I have informed him that my chickens may go where they please.” “My neighbor, in the most urbane way, has notified me to keep my chick- ens out of his garden.” “And you.” The excellent patriotic work of the File Indians at Balcarros, Sask., con- tinues, and the Canadian Pacific through Mr. W. R. Baker, the Secre- tary of the Company, has received another encouraging report. It was in October last year that thirtyâ€"three of these colonists subscribed $502.10 to the Patriotic Fund, each farmer giving a certain number .of bushels of grain, which when sold amounted to the above sum. During the winter ,that followed, the now famous File Indian Brass Band gave concerts, thereby raising another $212.00, which went to the Belgian Relief Fund, and lsince March last, the Red Cross Branch of this Colony has raised $500.00 and endowed a bed in Clive- den Hospital. The young Indian wo- men have done a great deal of knit- ting and sewing. The branch has a 'membership of 86, while there are only one hundred and sixty soulsâ€"â€" thirty-eight men, twenty-six women i and ninety-six childrenâ€"in the colony. ‘The patriotism of these Indians does lnot stop here. Two young men went .to the front with the second contin- gent, and six more are going with the next. The File Indians lay claim to having the oldest Red Cross Society member in the British Empire in the person of Pointed Cap. This cele- brated character says that he is the ripe old age of 107, and on November 12thqnext will attain his 108th year. He is now an “associate member” of the Red Cross, and proudly wears on his heart the little red cross, the em- blem of the society. It is quite pos- sible that in addition to the six latest recruits for the front, older members of'the colony will go, as one man who is the father of nine children has ex- pressed his intention of so doing, and his wife says “I will not stop him.” Despite the fact that a hailstorm last month destroyed all the crops in the colony, the File Indians are not downâ€" hearted, and have made arrangements ‘ to continue their good work during the coming winter months to aid the boys across the sea, thus showing a patriotism worthy of a king. .._v wv-vl w Aluycyu, auu is therefore preventable.
