But, seriously, manly men and maidens too, take unfair advantages of their privilege of using the tele- phone. A girl will telephone a man and interrupt him thoughtlessly, per- haps in the middle of an important contract which he is trying to put through, or a. man will call a girl on the telephone and corner her with questions as to her engagements and her willingness to make engagements. And the maiden heart too, is stirred more quickly by the thought that some body cared enough about her to spend $5 on a telephone call from the ends of the world than it is by the sight of a pile of letters two inches high. There is no use bewailing this sad state of- affairs. Doubtless Cupid can balance on a wire as well as he can hide in a. scented envelope. Of course, a telephone invitation deserves just as much consideration as one engraved on gold, or a formal summons from a king. Love Making By Telephone. Letter writingâ€"love letter writing -â€"<has degenerated into a despised ne- cessity to be made use of when one is without the zoneâ€"either geogra- phically or financiallyâ€"of the tele- phone, local or long distance. A flut- tering “Hello" travelling over hund- reds of miles of wire now produces more ecstacy in the manly breast than did the old fashioned scented note, written on pink paper and filled with pressed forget-me-nots and heart-ease. But somehow we do not regard tele- phoning invitations with the same rev- erence we bestow on other invitations. Few of us would fail to keep an en- gagement which had been suggested to us by means of an extravagant in- vitation. Few of us would neglect a written invitation. Or they may say, “This is Mrs. Brown’s residence.” But it is better not to give your name over the ’phone until you know who has called you up. The person who has called you has taken upon herself the responsi- bility of giving her name first. Invitations and Regrets The telephone invitation is so us- ual today that there is no use preach- ing against it. And, indeed, it is in no way harmful. It saves time, trouble and worry, and when answered it is in every way good. A good way to greet the insistent demand on the other end of the wire as to who you are is to say, “This is No. 711," or whatever your number may be. Maids should be taught to answer the telephone in this same way. The office boy. overcome with un- accustomed timidity at the visitor's "nerve,“ sat quietly by and thought of the scolding he would receive pre- sently from his employer. He was not disappointed. The employer right- eously angered at the boy for connect- ing him with any telephone call, would listen to no explanations, and the boy had to suffer for- the man's rudeness. he on no account could be disturbed. A man called to see him and heard the office boy's statement that Mr. X was engaged. The caller waited five min- utes, and then, seeing no chance of getting an interview in the near future went to the switchboard. connected himself with the office of the man he wanted to see, and had his converSa- tion over the phone. The method of most womenâ€"of calling the number they want on the telephone and then rudely demanding the name of the owner of the voice that answers themâ€"is reminiscent of an experience business men some- times have. One busy man was consulting with a very important business aséociate He gave word to the office boy that “Hello, who is this?” is the insis~ tent call that comes over our wire day after day. The courteous thing to say, of course, is this: “Hello, is this 711 Main," and, if an affirmative answer is given, “This is Mrs. Blank, Is Mrs. Brown at home?" Among both women and men tele- phone manners are had. We make little effort. in fact to be courteous over the telephone. If some one could lay down a cut- and-dry code of telephone manners fewer discourtesies would pass back and forth between friends and neigh- bors every day. But the telephone is as yet a feairly new convenience. When it is as old a social institution as afternoon teas or saddle horses, there may be definite rules regard- ing its use.

Sam Hughes, Minister of Miâ€" litia, paid a flying vis1t to Valcar- tier this morning, leaving again for ’ Ottawa about noon, after making a ’ hurried inspection. The Minister was greatly pleased with the manner in which the organization work is go- ing forward. ‘rEverythi-ng is going 'on finely,” said he. “The camp is in excellent shape and in good hands under Col. Williams." It is underâ€" stood Col. Hughes will visit the Camp again about Tuesday. IT BEATS PETAWAWA CAMP There has been nothing like Val- cartier camp in Canada before, the nearest approach to it being Peta- wawa, where some twelve thousand men received training several weeks ago. Between twenty-five and thirty thousand men are to come to Val- cartier, which is located quite con- Veniently to the point of embarkaâ€" tion of the Canadian contingent, be- ing only Sixteen miles northwest of Quebec City, on the line of the Caâ€" , nadian Northern Railway. l AN IDEAL SITE. 1 Fr 3. military point of view the site of the camp is an ideal one. For tactical exercises it is all that could I be desired, as there is a variety ofl ’country. All about the great phi ‘ .' teau, upon which the thousands of tents have been pitched, rise the wooded foothills of the Laurentlans. From a medical point of View Val- cartier could not be excelled as a site for a military training ground There is an ample supply of pure drinking water, and the ground up- on which the men have to sleep is splendid. EXCEhLENT TYPE OF MEN The most notable feature of the Icamp, however, is the excellent char- acter of the men who are coming forward to fight tor the Empire. The volunteers who have been arriving 'dunng‘the past few days are a well- setLup lot, and their spirit ' is de- ‘ scribed as excellent. If there have been any disconnorts they have put up with them Without a murmur. , There has been no grumbling. These 1 men mean business. They have not come here for an outing.

All yesâ€" terday and today troop trains have been arriving from gevery part of the Dominion and tonight there are twelve thousand men under canvas]. Despite heavy rains which fell for the greater part of the day, the work of the camp went on unceasingâ€" 1y, and the downpour interfered only with the church parade, which was one of the picturesque features of the day. All day long tomorrow the troop trains will pour their passengers in- to the little station in the cup of the Laurentian Mountains, which has within the short space of a fort- night been transformed from the drowsiness habitual to it heretofore into a scene of activity.

The Queen’s O'wn so far holds the camp.record for strength, num~ bering 802 men. The experience the Queen’s Own gained when they went to England several years ago stood them in good stead. This was espe' cially noticeable at dinner time, as the cooks had their kitchens rigged up a. few minutes after reaching camp, and not only were they able to feed their own 'men, but cofiee was handed out by them to several hundred other men, who arrived by special train.. The 48th Highlanders of Toronto will not be here until Friday. The first western troops to reach Camp W111 come on Tuesday, and these will melude 973 from the city of Calgary alone. More than a thousand men are expected from Vancmlver. The 12th York Rangers, the 36th Peel, and the Cavalrymen who left Toronto last Thursday are beginning to feel quite at home now, although the an- tiâ€"typhoid vaccine with which they were inoculated before leaving Tor- onto disturbed them for a longer time than was anticipated. 1 Summarising it would'appear that 1the improvement in the situationâ€"d! 1there is anyâ€"Is not withregard to actual Conditions, but in that there 1has been an opportunity to compreâ€" hend to some extent the factors which are at work and steps have 1been taken to estimate the conse- 1quencesâ€"vague though that estimate 1must be. 1tion, not only by a doctor, but also in a military way. EXCELLENT WATER: SUPPLY 1 The source of water supply is the 1.Facgues Cartier river. The pumps, 1with a capacity of a milhion and a Shalf gallons a day, were set working Eon Friday, and there are numerous 1shower baths. Dr. G. G.

It will be an ideal camp in many ways. No rain is likely .to bother the men much, as the dry, sandy soil will drink it.in at once. 0f the men now in camp all seem- ed to have been benefited by their brief stay there. Everyone has a good healthy tan and they seem happy and contented enough. This is no mere instruction camp. It fur- nishes all the essentials to satisfy its object, that is, to turn out wellâ€" trained soldiers that will be well Four' miles of pipe have been‘ laid from the camp to connect the Intake at the river which bounds the camp on its left flank and the other four are distriquted. White and neat, hun- dreds of tents are waiting, ready to receive the incoming volunteers. Roads have been made. Hospital, ordfiance stores, sheds of all de- scriptions, are springing up. Stafl oflicers, contractors, army service and transport men, and all who are the countryside, and the activity ap- parent everywhere is such as has never been before displayed at any military camp in Canada. THE LINDSAY roam , 2 No commodity has been more af- fected during the week than tea. Last week one of the large package tea houses did not look for an advance in prices â€" a couple of days later there was an advance of ten cents a. pound all round. The embargo had not been lifted. The markets at Cal- cutta and Colombo are practically closed. Wholesalers have put the prices of bulk teas up from So. to 10c; a lb. The sugar market is very, much up- set and there is a spread of a. cent a pound between the prices quoted by the refinersâ€"what the grocer .pays depends‘on what he thinks it is worth to him, although. there are SOme of the wholesalers 'who are stayingwith the basis of a week ago and refiners are holding down to fill their old orders, although they could get an advance of a cent a pound ,in New York. ? Then with regard to our own food- ;stufis. Flour mills are working to ca- ipacity, and although there is no ex- Iport business in the usual way the lmillers have orders sufiicient at the Epresent time to keep them going might and dayfor a couple of gmonths. This condition applies to {other foodstuffs and when these com- ‘mod'ities commence to go forward, it may be expected that the prices will adVaDCC. NU SHORTRGE EXPECTGL 1N STAPLES The world price for s‘taple foodâ€" stufis will advance and we will have to pay the priCe here as well as the countries abroad, but we need not fear a shortage. The same argument applies with regard to canned goods, vegetables, fruits, salmon, etc. Our consotion is that in the first place we will be able to provide for our- selves and again the benefit of the higher prices should prove a 'boon to the agricultural interestsâ€"and Can- ada is firstly an agricultural coun- ‘ try. In European fruits and nuts prices The factors that have added to the seriousness of the situation are many. First and foremost there is of course the European situation and Ithe prospects that it is to be a War of greater magnitude than the world has ever seen; its duration is very lmuch problematical. Then there has obcen the course which has been tak- en by the steamship companies who have withdrawn their transâ€"Atlantic grates ‘ with the statement that freights will only be announced when gand where sailings can be made. Ser- lions, too, is the attitude of England and other countries, in maintaining their embargos on foodstuffs, for there are a number of commodities which are thus held up. Nearly all lour tea comes from London; much [rice also comes through that port; Enghsh jams, pickles, etc., will be ‘kept “at home." French vegetables and other lines from that country ; will be shipped no more, and there} ammany other imported foodstufisi which will be detained by embargos and the suspension of sea traffic or will be liable to seizure in the event of their being shipped. In addition there is the high War risk which looks as if it would be on a basis of five per cent., and the almost pro- hibited cost of exchange. With such conditions the attitude of the high price man in manâ€"37 lines would pear to be fully justified. p 'O I I And the developments of the week have been a victory for the full in- fluence to a large extent. There have been further increases, and there have been some of the quotations which have settled to some extent, as the result of the better opportun- ity to work out the actual increases in costs. This indicates that advanc- es were made too rapidly, but on the other hand there has been a ma- terial increase from the low level which was being maintained by some of the houses, despite advances. THE FREIGHT RATE SITUATION. Humanity has again proven that It can adjust itself to changing condi- tions and we are beginning to ac- cent the war as a fact rather than a fear. It cannot be said that the condi- tiOns in the grocery markets have improved during the week; in fact there have been several factors which have operated to put a more serious complex an on the situation. But at the same time the state of chaos has been improved in that there is someâ€" thing more like a basis to work up- on; this has come following the first eflects of a shock which paralyzed trade. Conditions such as existed a week ago could not continue. It is not that things have become more settled, but. that they have beccme more settled than unsettled. There is not quite so much evidence of a panic. , GHBEEHY MAHKHS SIIll UNSEHlEfl And out Pain, in towh, The cry 3hr The fair, fresh fields “Shall now our sc.
