FRANCE KEPT FAMOUS CLOCK
Not Even to ObIioe Lord Kitchener
Would BRAND Give Up Timepiece
That Was Historic.

Tt is a well-known fact that Lord
Kitchener was an enthusiastic col
lector and that he rarely lost an 0cca-
sion of adding to his treasures and
his trophies, says the Boston Evening
Transcript.
The Paris Temps sustains that
BRAND had hard struggle to keep
the famous clock that hangs In the
sale de lhorloge at the foreign office.
The clock in question had been sent
by king of France to an Indian
prince who had rendered noteworthy
service in struggle between England
and France.
The ship that contained the royal
gift was sunk by the English and for
many years the famous timepiece re-
mained at the bottom of the sea in
territorial Indian waters.
Then said Kitchener, when he
heard the story, s'the clock really be-
longs to England, since it remained
so long a time in our waters"
Aristide BRAND, who was well ac-
guainted with the mania of his distin-
guished guest, made such a brilliant
legal defense of the right Of the
French to retain the historic clock
that Kitchener taking leave of him
laughingly said: "At least you might
send it to me at the close of the war
as a souvenir of our victory"

ELECTRICITY I'M TIME or WAR
viii Play Most important Part, Either
in Plans for Defensive or Offen-
sive Weapons.

"In the plans for national defense
no industry will play more important
part than the electrical industry" says
Howard K. Coffin, chairman of the COM
mittee on production. organization,
manufacture and standardization of
the naval consulting board, in the Elec-
trical World. .'This industry lies at
the very foundation of things military,
both on land and on sea. In the event
of war many of the great factories de-
veloped to produce electrical apparatus
will be called on to concentrate on
electrical machinery necessary in ev-
cry branch of military service. Wheth-
er it be for wiring, for ignition appa-
ratus, for aeroplanes, motor vehicles
and mines, whether it be for the deli
cate controlling apparatus of battle
ships or for great plants for extracting
nitrogen from the air, the electrical en-
glneer and the electrical art will be of
the most vital Importance.
There is no more important link in
the chain of industrial machinery en-
tering into the national defense than
the great central stations upon which
manufacturing companies are depend
ent for power, and the uninterrupted
operation of these sources of indus
trial energy must be assured at all
hazards in war as well as in times of
peace. Telephone and telegraph also
are Indispensable instruments in the
program for successful defense of the
country"

English Sixpenny Cottages.

In connection with the shortage OF
cottage accommodation which is Occur
plying the minds Of the authorities, it
is interesting to know that cheap and
lasting cottages have been erected, for
ut Theydon GarEon, near Epping, Es-
sex, there still stands, in fine preserva-
ton, a row Of cottages built over 400
years since from the surplus bricks
Of the village church tower, these being
let at very low rent, remarks Lon
don Answers.
At Layendon, near Olney, in Buck
lnglamshire, the majority of the cot
tages, built OF stone from local quar-
~, cost the tenants from one shilling
to two shillinss weekly.
But the cheapest abodes in the coun-
try are at bishops Stortford, Herts,
where "a cottages, erected by the late
Admiral 4. Van der Meulen and Sir
Walter Gilbey,. are let at ninepence
weekly for married couples and six
pence for single persons, and are fully
furnished at that.

Hot Water for
Sick Headaches
Tells why everyone should drink

Headache Of any kind, is caused by

called toxins, sucked into the blood
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart which pumps the blood so fast
that 1t congests in the smaller arteries
and veins ofsthe head producing VIC
lent, thrObbing pain and distress, called
headache. You become nervous, de-
spondent, sick, feverish and miserable
your meals sour and almost nauseate
you. Then you resort to acetanilide
aspirin or the bromides which tempOr
arily relieve but do not rid the blood OF
these irritating toxins.
A glass of hot water with a teaspoon.
full of limestone phosphate in 1t, drank
before breakfast for awhile, will not
only wash these poisons from your sys.
tenn and cure you of headache but will
cleanse, purify and freshen the entire
alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for a quarter
bound Of limestone phosphate. 1t is in.
expensive, harmless as sugar, and al
most tasteless, except for a sOuriSh
twinge which is not unpleasant.
If you aren't feeling your best, II

WARNING CLEARS SHIP LANES
Virtually No Foreign Traffic South Of
Nantucket Shoals.

Boston, Nov 2S.-The Transatlan-
tic steamer lane south of Nantucket
shoals lightship, in the vicinity of
which five ships were sunk by the
German submarine U-53 Oct. s, vir-
tually was clear of foreign traffic, &C
cording to reports received here.
This apparent abandonment of the
regular route was believed to be due
to wireless warnings sent out by the
British cruiser Lancaster, off Sandy
Hook, notifying steamer captains that
German war submarines were suppos-
ed to be in this vicinity
Incoming ships reported rough
sea that would ordinarily interfere
with extensive submarine operations.

We would urge upon all teachers who
report Delinquents the necessity OF adj
vising the Sheriff and the Superinten-
dent promptly upon the return OF such
pupils.
Some have neglected this duty, being
under the impression that if child re-
turns, nothing further is required. II
the officer is unaware of the return, he
may go to unnecessary expense and ira
vel; parents may be unjustly annoyed
and the blame would then rightly fall
upon the teacher.
It would be we'll for such teachers to
keep a copy of the delinquents reported
and as they re-enter, check the date.
Keep these lists until the end OF the
year, as they may be called for.
Unfortunately the "School Notes
for the county did not appear last week
in the Ladysmith Journal or the Bruce
