The Speaker had to appeal several times for order, and above the racket Mr. Copp was heard to be. saying that all in the House were of one mind in their desire to assist the allies.

Frank Oliver arose to support the Copp amendment. “I am more than aston- ished,” he began, but was immediately interrupted with cries of “Oh, oh.” OCCE “I am more than astonished,” he re- peated, “to hear the Premier declare that a motion which affects the wel- fare of dependents of those who are fighting at the_frontâ€"" Here he was interrupted by cries of “Bah" and “Rats,” but he went on to say‘that the Patriotic Fund was collected and dis- pensed as a charity.

The flight of the Germans over Lon- don lasted twenty minutes. British airmen engaged the enemy for sever- al minutes over the city, and anti-air- craft guns were firing briskly, dotting the sky with shrapnel puffs, but with- out success. The Admiralty reported, however. that naval airmen, who followed them to sea, brought down three machines. A British squadron sent up from Dun- kirk to intercept the returning raid- ers did not en ounter them because they had take a more northerly route, but the British airmen met and destroyed seven other German ma- chines. v Hall Caine, the novelist, thus des-1 cribes a trip through the bombed dis- 1 trlct: “I went down to look at the results of the raid from a material point of View. They were contempt- ible I walked for a long hour in that waist belt of offices and public build- ings which divides the eastern and western halves of habitable London, and is generally shut up and silent at night, on Sunday and on Saturday afternoon. But for the gathering of crowds i should not have noticed any- thing had happened. I could see no damage that might not be remedied by mason, payer and glazier within six days. Outside a well-known build ing a square foot of flag was broken up as one might break it up with a hammer, the top stories of the corner of the office showing sign of fire. The rest of the great structure apparently was intact. In one of the principal I thoroughfares there were many brok- gen windows, and little piles of shat- ; tered plate-glass in narrow streets. 1 “That is all which in this principal region of attack was apparent to the eye of a trained observer and outside of it were the 700 square miles of the vast city and the thousands and thous- ands of miles of its streets entirely untouched. Thinking of that, One told one’s self that so futile from the point of military injury are all such pretentious raids. that it twice twenty- five German air machines come here every day for ten years doing so much and no more damage this mighty Lon- don would still be where it stands.” GERMAN TOWNS BOMBED French Air Fleet Revenge Attacks Upon Open Towns Eighty-four French aeroplanes made a. series of raids far into Germany, in reprisal for German attacks on open French towns. Sixty-seven thousand pounds of bombs were dropped at many points of military importance. Only two machines failed to return. The principal centres visited were Treves, Essen and Coblenz. Eleven aeroplanes raided Treves. dropping over 5,000 pouads of bombs. Seven fires broke out. one of which was in the Central Station. Six other ma- chines attacked Ludwigshafen, de- stroying among other things the Ba- dische aniline factory. - h tory MORE BEER FOR BRITAIN “Luv-av â€"â€"_____ .

Want It The injurious effects of tea, so often pointed out. to dyspeptic in- quirors, are due not. so much to the habit of teaâ€"drinking itself as to the way in which the tea is pre- pared. The method of tea-making so that it may be produced as a pleasant, mildly stimulating. and practically harmless beverage, is so that. it may he produced as a pleasant, mildly stimulating, and practically harmless beverage, is extremely simple, but for some rea- son hardly one person in twenty will take the trouble to carry it out. After tea has stood for more than thrtm or four minutes the tannin which the leaves contain is releas- ed, and it, is this tannin which docs all the mischief. Its astringent lu‘uperties disturb the digestix'e system; in fact, they actually tan the coats of the stomach, and many attacks of dyspepsia, which seem unacmiiuntable, may he trac- ed to this simple cause.
