The military authorities have de- ~ed that still more men must be released from the railways for army service. This will inevitably mean some reduction of work and the-only cconomies which appear possible, ac- cording to the railway managers, are connected with the passenger train scrvice and in securing greater expe- Ation on the part of shippers in handling freight traffic. No cheap holiday fares have been announced this year for the Christ- mas holidays, and there will be no e tension of the train services. Never- theless the seaside resorts have heen advertising extensivly and are making preparations for the usual holiday crowds. Before Or After Taking? (Zim in Cartoons Magazine.) Asking the bessing has reached -a point where it is more a habit than a Christian duty, a mere matter of form, as it were. Sometimes we: are in a hurry to catch a train and have little time for preliminaries. Wouldn’t it be well, therefore, to ask one long ssing at the beginning of each and Jet that suffice? Isn't it overworking the Lord to ask Him to bestow a blessing three times a day with all the rest of His tasks? I have seen men so set in this habit that they would open a meal with grace and close ‘it by cussing the tough meat or soggy biscuits. In such mases it would be more fitting to ask the blessing at the tail end of the meal, if it deserves it, for surely BUTTER Mohican Creamery 1b 39, w $1.12 EGGS Fancy Selected diz 40c, 2, $1.17 27c doz Swift’s Premium 28c¢c Oleo. 1-1b print Rich Whole Milk 32c Cheese . . 1b Holland Brick or Muenster Cheese 1b Best Pure Lard ..

Douglas, Isle of Man, Jan. 26.—As an experiment in communal feeding, the British Government’'s camp for war prisoners at Knockaloe is the big- gest and most successful thing of its kind ever attempted in the British Isles. Here 22,000 prisopers are housed and fed at a figure which averages only $2 per'man, per week. The capital cost of the camp, which was built on farm land in the north of the Isle of Man, was $1,250,000. This figure covers the building of all the barracks and administrative offi- - kitchens, streets, sewage, water and electricity plants, telephones, and all the other essentials of a modern city. On a basls of a population of 25,000 the cost of building this prison ces, { mess that the their English cook and requisitioned camp city figures out at about $50 for each inhabitant. The question of food as related to health has been a prime consideration with the British officlals from the start. “Our dletary,” explained the commandant, ‘“has been constantly observed and studied scientifically by a staff of medical men, who from time to time make such changes as experience dictatess. The .cooking is all done by the men themselves, and the excellent results they achieve are not to be wondered at when it is re- membered that they have among them some of the finest chefs of the big English hotels and restaurants. At one time their table was so much superior to that the English- officers’ officers discharged one of the prisoners, who has been in charge of their kitchen ever since.” The health of the prisoners bears testimony to the adequacy of the food provided. In this improvised town of 25,000 inhabitants, there have been only 70 deaths in two years—a year- ly death rate of less than 1.5 per thousand. This compares with a death rate in all England of 13.3 or in the United States of about 14.1. THE “KEB” COMES BAOK. More in Demand London.
