Great Britain Has Diverted 'Milling Offals and Coarse Grains \ From Livestock. Two-thirds of the offals from the , milling of wheat which were formerly fed to pigs and cattle in Great Britain -are now put into the loaf for human consumption, as well as most of the barley and maize, which were former ly used for feeding livestock. In this ° "way Great Britain has gained thirteen weeks' supply of bread, an amount which, wig the fullest possible co- operation Canada and the United States, 1s counted upon to tide people of the British Isles" over the period before the next harvest. / Fie) To keep your linen a good color drop a few pieces of camphor gum into the we in: which it is kept. 5% Lio a out. again, 2 {li = -- A 3ULK OF FISHING FLEET.

Sometimes a small mine, containing only 120 pounds of tri-nitro-toluol, is selected among the herring, the flit fish, the great halibut, and skate, and then the crew makes a dive for its small boat, and pulls away in a panic, "to recover its self-possession under "the assurance , of . distance, and to watch while some volunteer goes aboard again to sling the trawl out- board with the little donkey engine, and dump its contents back into the sea, After which, all hands take shots at the little mine as it floats away, and keep on shooting at it until it) sinks or explodes. A Gruesome Haul. Sometimes dead men, who have been buried in canvas bags with weights of lead at their feet, are brought up, and the crew is. struck dumb with the horror of it as if it had brought - up a mine. And sometimes the shapeless bodies ' of dead men who have not been given the decen- cles of sea-burial are brought up. And hardly a trip passes but what some of the wreckage which litters the floor of the sea off the coasts of the warring powers is brought up, and cast back into the sea again. 1 "I wouldn't fish now for a guinea an hour," said a policeman here to- day. "Y' oughta see some of the stuff they bring up!" { But the fishermen who are left at this little port are minting money off the fishing-banks. There Is one fish- erman who, when the war began, was a master df a cofimon trawler, but 'who now owns a fleet of trawlers of this own, and reckons his wealth.up into six figures of pounds sterling. |, But boys and very old men now man the fishing-trawlers, and their old independence is taken from them by the martial law which rules the coasts of England. It took a good deal of time to break the fishermen into discipline; but they finally learn- ed that if they rcfused to obey the Coastguard's rules their permits would be revoked. So by this time they have. | learned to toe the mark. "It is the sailing trawlers which now constitute the bulk of England's fish- ing-fleet, for most of the steam traw- lers have been taken over to fish for Lo But however beautiful they {may appear at sea, in the harbor one i of these fishing craft is the most de- | jected looking of all craft.

Her decks and bulwarks are foul with scales and slime, and every rope, free from the temsion of .the sails, hangs loose and dejected. A 'rusty stovepipe smokes . above the little forecastle, there is a dirty array of clothing drying on the rigging, and if there is anybody aboard, it is quite likely to be an extremely dirty boy smoking an extremely crumpled pipe on the hatch-combing, and spitting with extreme frequency down into the Lold. ? This is the usual appearance of slovenly idleness the fishing-craft ex- hibit after they have unloaded, Then comes the job of cleaning up. You climb down a steep ladder into th empty fish-hold into pitch darkness, no ventilation, and an almost over powering stench of fish. Here, with a broom and a bucket of hot water, down on your hands and knees--for there is almost" no headroom, you scrape down the slime and scales and fish-offal from the sides and bottom of the hold, probably thoroughly wetting then carry the water and offal up on 'the deck, and empty them overboard. After this there is the washing down | (of woodwork on deck to do, ropes to coil and rope-ends, seaweed, and fish- 'foftal to gather up and throw over- | board.

Point Pelee, the most southerly por- tion of Canadian territory, jutting out from the lake shore of Essex county, be it .| Ontario, into lake Erie for a distance. of about nine miles, has just been created a National Park by the Do- minion Government, to whom the land belonged. The creation of this park for the protection of its distinct and attractive tree and plant life and the wild life it harbors permanertly .and during certain seasons, mended by the Commission of Con- servation and the Advisory Board of Wild Life Protection; the Canadian Society for the Protection of Birds and the Essex County Wild Life Con- servation Association also advocated its creation. In the Ninth Annual Report of the Commission the main features of the Point are described as follows: "Not only is it the most southerly point of Canada, geographically, and in the character of its birds, trees and plants, but it constitutes one of the concentration points in the northern and southerh journey of our migratory birds. In. the spring and in the autumn, €normous numbers of birds of all species in their migratory jour- neys to and from Canadian territory concentrate at this point and its reser- vation, therefore, would be an import- ant factor in ensuring the protection of these. The area includes a marsh several square miles in extent which forms a favorite resort and breeding place for wild fowl, but excessive shooting has reduced its value as a breeding place. Pine, oaks, red cedar, black walnut, and hackberry grow in 'profusion on the narrow strip of land running down the west side of the point and make it a tract of singular beauty to the lover of trées and shady groves. Its scenic value, the southern nature if its birds and plant life, its importance as "& main route for migratory birds and the exceptional opportunitieg it affords for the pro- tection and encouragement of wild fowl, insectivorous and other birds, all combine to make it an ideal area for a national reservation." hs With tHe exception that duck shoot- img 'will be allowed on the marsh under permit for a limited season in the fall, the wild life in the park, which includes the extensive marsh will be protected as is the case in all The park con- tains some of the most beautiful wood- land and scenery that is: to be found in western Ontario and its re- servation will mean the permanent rotection of the area under the Parks Brandt the Department of the In- terior for the use and enjoyment of. the public. = -- Glass Cans for Maple Syrup. One advantage of using glass con- tainers for maple syrup instead of the tin receptables now in use, would be that, 'the r being able to see the syrup in the glass bottles, better sales result.

Railway = Official's Conclusions Fol- lowing Western Tour, 3 "After an extended tour through the west, both over the C.P.R. and other lines, during which I looked carefully into crop prospects, I think it is safe to conclude that, with the increased acreage under cultivation, Western Canada this year will produce at least as many bushels of grain as last year, provided, of course, continue as favorable as they are at present." This was" the statement . made on July 16th by Mr. C. E. Mc- Pherson, assistant passenger traffic | manager of the C.P.R. at Winnipeg, | while in Montreal on a business trip. Mr. McPherson said that" in some {parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan drought and avinds had cut into -the | possibilities of the harvest very | seriously, while in larger districts re- cent rains had -helped the growing | grain along wonderfully, so that where a few weeks ago there was Mttle in sight it now seemed likely there would be at least fair crops. In Manitoba, which province had during recent | years fallen behind in wheat produc- tion, Mr. McPherson said the pros- pects were particularly good, with a largely increased area of wheat acre- age, and every prospect of abundant ylelds. So far as passenger business was concerned, Mr, McPherson said that the roads in the west had never done better than during the present'year. As to American tourist business; par- ticularly toward the far west, Mr. McPherson said it was too early to make any predictions, but the pros- pects pointed to at least as good a season as last year, while the number of visitors to the Rocky Mountain resorts was well up to the average. reser mr The Still Trees.

What girl or woman hasn't heard of lemon. juice to remove camplexion blemishes; to whiten the skin and to bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard white this way. Strain through a fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a orchard white, then shake well and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small jar of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion will remain pure and' fresh for months. When applied daily to the face, neck, arms and hands {it should help to bleach, clear, smoothen and beautify the skin. Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very little cost and the grocer has the lemons. mm fume imeem Unprecendented Fire Waste. Up to the present, the fire loss of the Dominion of Canada is 256 per cent, greater than for the correspond- ing period of last year.
