WAR USES FOR FACTORIES
Manufaeturers surprIsed to Find What Can Be Made in Their PIants in
 Case of Emergency.

Here is paragraph. shipped out of an article by George Creel in Every body's Magazine. which shows the war uses to which various peaceful manu- factories can be subjected:
 "A manufacturing jeweler was sur prised to learn that his plant. with few changes. could turn out peri scopes; sash-chain maker found that his machines were adapted to the production of cartridge clips for rifles and machine guns; a phonO- graph concern was discovered to be well fitted for the manufacture of cer- tain delicate shell parts; makers of underwear may be relied on for ban dages; a manufacturer of music-rolls for gauges a cream separator plant for shell-primers: a sewing machine com pany for gaines; a recording and com putting machine plant for fuses; an infants food concern for shell plugs drug manufacturers and dye works for high explosives finished shells may be expected from candle makers, flour millers. tobacco manufacturers. and siphon-makers: silversmiths can make cartridge-cases, bullet jackets. and caps; while shrapnel can be made fin gas engine works, car factories, cleo tric elevator works, locomotive works, stove foundries and machine shops."

On this occasion he caused campfires 10 be built along the shore of the Assanpink, while the work of making intrenchments apparently went on through the night. Even the sound of the axes reached British ears. and they fell asleep, lulled by what they believed to be full knowledge of the rebels movements and intentions.
 Washington's Plans We'll Laid.
 His plans were complete. He knew every road and crossroad on the way to Princeton. He had made sure that the way to that town was unguarded. He knew that most of the British troops had been removed from Prince ton, and he made the clear deduction that only a few. moreover, could be remaining at Brunswick, where the enemy had rich magazines.

But he felt that he could achieve Princeton. at least, and then withdraw to the heights of Morristown to recuperate.
 Soon after midnight, when the 3d of January had not yet dawned, the march began, in a new. sudden wave of bitter cold which followed the days of thaw.

With the Fingers! Says Corns Lift Out
 Without Any Pain

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or any kind of a corn can shortly be lifted right out with the fingers If you will apply on the corn few drops oi freezone, says Cincinnati authority.
 At little cost one can get a small bot tie of freezone at any drug store. which will positively rid ones feet of every corn or callus without pain or sore ness or the danger of infection.
 This new drug is an ether compound and dries the moment it is applied and does not infiame or even irritate the surrounding skin. Just think! You can lift of your corns and calluses now without a bit of pain or soreness. If your druggist hasn't freezone he can easily get a spall bottle for you from his wholesale drug house.-adv. /

 But Mawhood, with number about equal to Mercer's men, saw the ap- proach of the Americans and returned to the conflict. The two forces rushed -Mawhood leading a body of men trained, fresh. armed with bayonets ; Mercer in command of group poorly trained, in-equipped. almost exhausted with a nights march of IS miles through bitter cold, and almost entire ly rifiemen. bearing Scarcely any bay onets, to meet the hostile charge. A terrific. swift encounter took place, al the end of which the Americans gave way and fled, abandoning their cannon while their officers remained on the field. calling the men back. Haslet Neal.

BUSINESS GOOD N CANADA
No Financial Depression, and
 None Since the War Began.

A weil-kncwn correspondent of an important Western daily paper recent ly made an extended visit to Western Canada. and in summing up the re- suits, after going thoroughly into con- ditions there. says there is no financial depression in Canada. nor has there been anything of the sort since the war began. Anyone who has watched the barometer of trade, and seen the bank clearings of the different cities grow and continue to grow will have arrived at the same conclusion. The trade statistics reveal a like situation. The progress that the farmers are making is highly satisfactory. As this correspondent says: Tt is true there have been adaptations to meet new conditions. and taxes have been re- vised. and that e very large burden of added expense in many lines has been assumed, but it has all been done me- medically. carefully and with full re- gard for the resources to be called on
 That this has been done fairly and wisely is proved by the present com fortable financial position.
 With the exception of 6 restricted area ip the east, Canada is not an in- dustrial country. The greater portion of the Dominion must be classed as agricultural area. with only an infini. tesimal part of it fully developed.
 Lacking complete development, the agricultural portion of Canada has naturally placed its main dependence upon fewer resources than would be the case in the States. Even in peace times, business would be subject to more frequent and wider fluctuations, due to the narrower foundation upon which 1t rests.
 Thus, Canada has been able to come up to the war with efficiency and sufficiency and to maintain and even advance its civilian activities.
 'Canada's first element of financial strength lay in its branch bank sys- tenn. This system has two great ad- vantages: 1t makes the financial re- sources of the Dominion fluid so that supplies of capital can run quickly from the high spots to the low spots {; also. 1t places at the command of each individual branch the combined re- sources of the whole institution so that there is an efficient safeguard against severe strain at any one point.
 Here in Winnipeg, the all-Canada banking houses maintain big. strong branches and, as elsewhere in the Dominion these held fo an affifude of saneness and solidity that prevented even the start of any financial dis turbance.
 That business generally is now con- ing strong on an even keel Is largely due to the absolute refusal of the banks, both branch and independent, to exhibit the slightest signs of e1- citement or apprehensiveness.
 For all Canada the savings bank figures are astonishing. Beginning with 1913, they are, for the fiscal year end ing March 91.
