CARE OF CANADA’S VVOUNDED The official Canadian casualty list now contains over 25.000 names. This constitutes a large army of wounded Whose treatment devolves upon the Canadian Medical Service, assisted by the Red Cross. Our medical units are to he found in every part of the war zone, France, England. Belgium and the Mediter~ ranean. In the latter district Canadai has supplied 4,320 beds and 1.26% medâ€" l ical officers, nurses and orderlies. The total persiinnel in all the fields is 6.835. At the beginning of the War an at- tempt was made to place our wounded .m Canadian hospitals, but this was found impossible, and a wounded Can- odian may be found in am," one of the 1,500 active treatment hospitals throughout Great Britain. Each unit in the field, however; is serVed by the Canadian Red Cross when called upon by the Canadian Medical Corps, and the Canadian sol dier in the first stages of his wound, in his passage from the advanced dressing station to the field hospital and casualty clearing station is in Canadian hands. Again after dis- charge from active treatment hospitals every Canadian must be sent to a Ca- nadian convalescent hospital. such as Bearwood Park at Buckingham Berks, the Canadi in convalescent hospital at Bromley, and the King’s Canadian Red Cross hospital at Bushby Park. merit hospitals are the Duchess of Connaught Red Cross hospital at Tap- low, one of the best equipped and most efiicient hospitals in Europe. and the Queen Alexandra hospital at Beachborough. In addition to these hospitals there are special Canadian hospitals for the treatment of special conditions. These are the V_Vest Cliffe \ v--\--VV Canadian Eye and Ear Hosnital at Folkstone and the Grenville Special Hospital, which attends to cases of shell shock and injury to the nerves.

THERE IS MORE CATARRH IN this section of the country than all other diseases put tOgether. and for years it was supposed to be incurable. Doctors prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure it with local traet- ment, pronounced it incurable. Ca- tarrh is a local disease, greatly influenced by constitutional con- ditions and therefore requires con- stitutional treatment. Hall’s Ca- tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J Cheney ,6: 00., Toledo, Ohio, is a constitutional remedy, is taken in;- ternally, and acts through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System.

Whatever truth there 3 may be in this story, there is no doubt ithat many German women have been Lpresented by the Government with §iron rings to replace the gold ones they have parted with. But that hap- 'pened a century ago. Then Prussia, .crushed by Napoleon and bankrupt. iwas in dire need of money, and the Prussian women gave up all their Jewels and ornaments to help to cope! .with' the prevailing poverty. And out' of this sacrifice a new industry arose. 1, gThiS was nothing less than the manu-? ltacture of castiron jewelery to re- place the gold and silver ornaments gwith which the great ladies of the kingdom had dispensed. At first sight, as material would seem less promis- ing as a substitute for the precious metals than iron. It was entirely owing to the wonderful craftsmanship of the ironworkers that the results were so extraordinary. Strength, of ’ course, would be a distinguishing mark of such jewelery, and a com- plete set of these iron ornaments, now , in the ;;osscs;isn of a Toronto jeweler, is as rigid and firm as on the day it was made. This particular set, com- prising a pair of ear rings, neklet, locket, c.2111 bracelets, has not been carefully looked after till lately. The ’ ornaments have a wonderfully fragile appearmce, due entirely to the ex- quisite workmanship. Their weight, too, i: astzmishingly small, the light- . ness of every article being quite a feature of the set.

Of those flowing into Lake Ontario, the Trent occupies easily the first place. This is one of the rivers whose hydraulic use- fulness has suffered from deforesta- tion, but the flow conditions have been materially improved by work under- taken by the Dominion Government, showing that the mischief is not ir- reparable. Now 75,000 horse-power is capable of more or less ease develop« ment by reason of the Trent Canal Works. Of this total, 45,000 is now actively used, of which the Electric Power Company absorb 83,000 horse- power. This company, with a 44,000â€" volt transmission line, 300 miles in length, supply power to a large terri- tory, and has obtained complete con- JEWELRY IN NEW FORM ? trol of the light and power business in the territory served by the trans- mission linesâ€"a policy that is likely to find many imitators in the future. Most of the rivers that flow into Lake Erie, like the Grand River, lack natural control, owing to agricultural necessities, and can only be regarded as sources of intermittent power for purely local purposes. Lake Huron can claim some tributaries of greater industrial value, their total low-water capacity being placed at 166,000 horse- power, of which 58,000 is at present developed. The more considerable of the developed sites are on the Spanish River, where the Canadian Copper Copper Company has 12,500 horse- power installed for the operation of its mines and smelters; and lower down the river, the Pulp and Paper Company utilizes 10,000 horse-power for the conduct of its business. There is evidence of very considerable ex- tension in the near future. Flower Dishes Violets taste almost as nice as they smell. In days gone by a favorite candy was made of candied violets, while sherbet was made of extract of violets. All over Europe, violets, roses "and lime blossoms are mixed with pre- serves, to add a flowery element to the fruity flavor. In America sand- wiches of nasturtiums, and in England of fine chopped Spearmint, spread over slices of thin bread and butter are often served. The tuber of the dahlia is said to be excellent for food, while dandelions make a first class wine, as every housewife knows.
