To Preserve Old Photooraph

One way to preserve old photo
sraphs Is as follows: Put the photo
graphs into clean, hot-water;- very
soon the pictures loosen and may be
easily removed from the cards. When
dry, either trim down to economize
space, or carefully cut away the back
ground entirely. Mount them In
scrap book or book made especially
for kodak pictures. You will then
have book with which you can
spend many happy moments looking
over familiar scenes and faces.

Gas From Peat.
The production of gas from peat
having a low water content Cup to
about 20 per cent? for use in suction
gas (sauggas) engines has already
met with success in Germany, but for
number Of years efforts have been
made to utilize peat with water con-
tent as high as SO to 60 per cent and
thus eliminate the costly process Of
drying the raw material.

TAFT WILL REFUSE PENSION

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-While Pres
ident Taft has not commented publicly
on the Carnegie plan to give all future
eX-presidents of the United States or
their widows a pension of $4,000 a
year, the impression is strong among
Mr.. Taft's friends that he will not ac-
cept the bounty.
1t is certain, however, that the presi
dent, in whatever action he may take
will show a thorough appreciation OF
the motive behind the Carnegie gener.
osity. He may commend Mr.. Carnegie's
intention, but, in declnging the gift
himself, suggest that his action should
not be taken as establishing any pre-
cedent.
AS was indicated by the few ex
pressions obtained from senators ant
representatives., the Carnegie founda
tion plan met with almost general dis.
approval on Capitol hill. 1t was very
plain, however, that the Carnegie plan

power of the new world. AS England
is Japan's ally, the question is asked,
What will Canada do if the mikado
demands the support on American soil
of his brother treaty partner" Hap
PLY, this situation is not likely to
arise England, in common with the
other European powers, is striving ear
nestly to keep the Japanese out of the
European conflagration; and under the
terms IF the Anglo-Japanese alliance
neither party is bound to give support

aYowed here by those who are willing
&c discuss the proba ability at all, that
Canada would be loyal to the empire
even to the extremity IF war with the
United States. But official Britain
knows better. Canada would at once
secede and the dread of the loss Of
the great and growing dominion is
