A largely-attended meeting, pre- sided over by Sir John Irwin, J.P., was held at Tallaght, for the purpose of explaining to the young men of the district their duty in the present crisis. , sie. FRESH AT NIGHT If One Uses the Right Kind of Food. If by proper selection of food one can 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- duce this result. A school teacher in the West says in this connection: "At the time I commenced the use of Grape-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- ienced almost constantly a feeling of exhaustion. "I tried various remedies without good results; then I determined to give particular attention to my food, and have learned something of the properties of Grape-Nuts for rebuild- ing, body, brain and nerves. "Since using Grape-Nuts I have made a constant and rapid improve- ment in health, in spite of the fact that all this time' I have been en- gaged in strenuous and exacting work. : "I have gained twelve -pounds in weight and have a good appetite, my nerves are steady and I sleep sound. I have such strength and reserve force "that I feel almost as strong and-fresh at.the close of a day's work as at the beginning: "Before. using Grape-Nuts I was: troubled much with weak eyes, but as my vitality increased the eyes became stronger..

Peaches Cost Less Per Quart Than Any Other Fruit. Once upon a time--you see I know how to begin a story in the right way --a barefoot boy danced by the road- side and shouted gleefully, writes Pe- ter McArthur. It was in Canada, back in the nineteenth century, in the pio- neer days. The little boy was heaithy and freckled, and what he lacked in clothes he made up in the kind of body one should have inside of clothes. And he was very, very happy. In fact he was so happy that a passing friend stopped to ask him the cause of it all. "Hurray!" freckles, "Why so happy?" asked the friend. "The preacher is coming to din- ner!" "T didn't know you were so fond of him." "I aint, but whenever the preacher comes to dinner we always have peach preserves." ' It really is not much of a story, and I am giving it on account of its arch-e-o-log-i-cal interest, and not be- cause it is so very funny. It dates back to the days when people merely knew that peaches are the best of fruits and had not discovered that Canada is the best place to raise the very best of them. The woman who was fortunate .enough to get some froma sheltered orchard or from a lone tree that was so fortunately situated-that it escaped the frost, put up a few to have for such special océasions as the visit Sf the preacher. shouted he of the = Sa.

Famous Citadel of the Black King, ain over four thousand feet high stand the wonderful ruins of the great citadel of La Ferriere. It was built by the black king, Christian. of the walls are eight feet high, six- teen feet thick and heavy batteries} of fifty-six and thirty-two pound guns are in position. guard every approach of what was intended to be the Haitian independencé. interior and there Were secret subter- ranean passages and holding hoarded treasures, many of which are supposed still to be hidden there. by the earthquake in 1842, which de- molished nearly all of the important buildings in the country, the colossal ruins of the citadel still wonders how the material for the con- struction and armament was raised to . the top of the mountain. country. very bright and a credit to the far- mers' institutes to which they belong, consider. it. an extravagance 'to pre- serve peaches unless they get them at sacrifice prices. Yet these same wo-. cent: peaches usually baskets, you will find if you divide the | price by eleven, that peaches cost less - per quart than any other fruit. But because they were once so great a luxury housewives are slow to realize that they should have more of them | and than of any kind of fruit, for they are "a the cheapest and the best.. There is no reason why every farmer's wife in the districts where peaches cannot be grown should not buy them as free- ly as they do other fruits and have them not only when the preacher comes to dinner, but when the boys and girls come home from-the city, and'at all other times when they want to have something luxurious on the table. Also it should be remembered that for eating from the hand the peach is the best fruit of all, but you should use for this purpose only the peaches that you buy in the full light of day. nce upon a time, or, perhaps I should say, "Once upon another time," a newly arrived Irishman went out with a frierid to steal peaches. It was very rani and Pat had been told to grope along the branches for the fruit. Presently he whispered, "Moike!" His friend answered "Phwat!" "Has paiches got legs?" "Naw." "Then, begobs, I've swallowed a_ straddle bug. he NOTHING TO EQUAL' BABY'S OWN TABLETS 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 hated 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. 7 BET $5,000 TO A CARROT. Henry lish steel firm of Steel, Peech and To- zer, who has just died at his home in Sheffield, was perhaps best known outside trade circles as the man who laid King Edward, then Prince of Wales, $5,000 to a carrot against a horse at the Epsom races. The Prince lost and paid with a carrot formed of coral mounted in gold. Steel and his partner, Peech, form- ed the greatest firm of bookmakers on the English turf 50 years ago. The fortune which they made on the race- track enabled them to enter the iron and steel industry as pioneers in 1875. Steel died at the age of 83. . ae Tea on the Battlefield. . -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. hen 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.

The acai patriotic work of the File Indians at Balcarros, Sask., con- tinues, 'aaa 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 thirty-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 since 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 souls-- thirty-eight men, twenty-six women and ninety-six children--in the colony. The patriotism of these Indians does not stop here. Two young men went to the front with the second contin- | Wife. 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 12th next will attain his 108th year. He is now an "associate member" of the s, and proudly wears on his heart the little red cross, the em- taxt parties next winter?" © 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 down- 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. 7] Milkmaids in London. Milkmen in the suburbs are gradu- ally being replaced by milkmaids, and one is sure the milkmaids will not stand the week's task of the male "pram round," which is a seven day's journey.
