THE BRIGHT SIDE.

A splendid tonic is in the words Of
Maj. Donald Guthrie of the Cana
dian overseas forces: F"There's lots
of fun over there. There are no
more cheerful and contented men on
the face Of the earth" He was talk
ing, of course, about the soldiers in
the trenches, who some would have
us believe are pitiful, weeping, gray
haired wrecks after a tour of duty,
says the New York Sun. There are
societies and committees for nearly
everything nowadays. Not the least
useful among them would be a COM
mittee for printing the Canadian
majors words, bracletcd with Briga-
der General Hoyle's hearty classic,
"a soldiers life is a bully one,"
to be given to every man of draft
age. 1t would serve as an antidote
for much depressing driyel.

photoplays, "A Daughter of the
Gods" will be shown at the Strand

conception of the possibilities of this

The Lee children, popular with
every photoplay lover in the land,
appear as two baby mermaids, where
their eternal propensity for getting
mischief and consummate daring
keep them in the front ranks.
The water scenes, photographed

FLOODS IN NORTH CHINA.

News from far-olf Ticntsin is that
the recent floods in north China
have wrought damage of over ST.
GOO, 100000. Streams have been
turned into rivers two miles wide
and in some places 100 feet deep,
while densely populated area of
over 10000 square miles has become
an immense lake reaching depth of
from twenty to thirty feet. These
foundations it is feared will render
I'ientsin icebound and uninhabitable
during the winter months, and it is
doubtful whether the authorities
will succeed in draining it off until
the end of 1919.

BRINE BATHS TO CURE SHOCK
British Soldiers Suffering From All.
ments Contracted in Trenches
Yield to New Treatment.

Many officers and men are return
ing to England suffering severely
from shell shock and other ailments
contracted in the trenches. The pc
culiar nervous condition in which
these men find themselves is difficult
to treat. At Droitwich, England, are
some remarkable natural brine baths
which have done much to restore
these unfortunate victims of the war
to their normal state, says the Popu-
lar Science Monthly.
The treatment consists of a num-
Der of baths such as douche, needle
and spray. Men who are able to
swim are encouraged to use the
swimming baths. In cases of rheu-
matism and frost-bite much relief
has been obtained through the use
of a brine spray and massage. The
attendant has a hose attached to his
arm so that he can massage and
spray the patients at the same time.
This hose is used to spray the more
delicate portions of the body. AT the
same time stronger spray from a
Whatsoever keeps the entire body
well doused. At first the brine spray
is applied warm. The invigorating
effect is soon felt, however, and after
few treatments the patient is able
to stand a cooler temperature.

FIRST STEAMER IN EUROPE
Comet, Owned by Henry Bell, Launched
From Port Glasgow in 1912,
Proved Success.

The kings visit to Port Glasgow
recalls fact in the history of ships
and shipbuilding which has a par
ticular interest at the present time,
AS everybody knows, asserts the
Christian Science Monitor, it was
from Port Glasgow that the first
steamer ever built in Europe-the
Comet, owner Henry Bell-was
launched in 1912. She was a 30
ton vessel, with an engine of three
horsepower, and was found to be so
successful that within the next two
years two larger craft were con-
structed. One of these was the Mar
jerry, and from the Clyde the Mar
jerry was transferred to the Thames,
and piled between London and the
Gravesend during the first months of
1915. But she was viewed with dis
favor by the Thames watermen. She
was very much of novelty, and they
were suspicious of novelties; besides,
they considered that this Scotch
built boat interfered with their
rights. SO the Marjery left the
Thames for the Seine, her owners
having sold her to a French COM
pany. To reach the Seine she had to
cross the channel, and she was thus
the first steamer to do so.

Reconstruction work in Franco
means the day-to-day help which the

Criticisms frequently heard in this
country that it is too early to begin

based a misrepresentation of the

said. The American fund members

of the French towns, which would be
at this time preposterous. Miss Nor

towns by american communities was
hopelessly futile and that it had
