PUNIsHMENTs IN ENGLAND.

Although the stocks, like the pill
lory and the ducking-stool, have been
done away with, many punishments,
notes a writer, survive in England
which are every bit as medieval.
The most ludicrous of these exist in
the army and navy, which were re-
nowned in the past for the cruelties
practiced in the name of justice.
"Keel-hauling," as carried out in the
navy, used, of course, to amount to
execution by drowning, while in the
army running the gauntlet" was a
popular way of Furnishing trouble
some soldiers.

INDIAN SUM M Err.

The short season of fine weather
usually occurring about the middle of
November, or a little later, is called
"Indian summer" from the custom
of the Indians to avail themselves of
this pleasant season for gathering
their corn, and the tradition is that
they always had a Second summer
of nine days just before winter set
in" The sky at this period is gen
orally filled with a golden haze. The
season is synonymous with the
Summer of St. Martin" of Europe,
which derives its name from the fes-
tival of st. Martin held on the 18th
of November. "Squaw winter" is
the Indian appellation for the touch
of wintry or snowy weather that pre-
cedes the Indian summer.

PEANUTS COMPLETE RATION.

As human food the roasted peanut
is said, by a food expert, to be an al
most complete ration, while peanut
oil is now one of the dependable
sources for the vegetable oils that are
compromising for the growing short.
age of animal fats. Cottonseed oil
has already become favorite short
ening in the American kitchen, and
much of the so-called olive oil we use
is squeezed from the peanut.

The nervous system of the high

regarded lightly when eggs are 60

outdoor exercise undoubtedly results
in strong, vigorous stock, capable of
digesting much food and laying

BRITlAN'S WAR AIMS STATED
David Lloyd George Explains War Aims Of British
Empire More Specifically and at Greater
Length Before Trades Union

London, Jan. 5.--The British prime
minister, David Lloyd George, today
set forth Great Brltain's war aims
more specifically and at greater length
before the delegates Of the trades
union than he has over done before.
Having first dclarcd that it was not
war OF aggression AGAINST Germany
or the German people, and that the
breaking up of the German peoples or
the disintegration OF their State was
not one Of the objects for which the
Allies were fighting. he procC cded to
which Britain and her allies were con-
tending.
First among these was the restora-
tion Of Belgium and reparation for the
injuries inflicted. Next came the res
toration Of Serbia, Montenegro and
the occupied parts OF France, Italy
and Rumania. France must have
Alsace- Lorraine and to this end, said
the premier, the British nation would
stand by the French democracy to tho
death.
The question OF Russia was touched
upon, and Mr.. Lloyd George said that
Britain as well as America, France
and Italy would have boon proud to
fight beside the new Russian democ-
racy. But now Russia could only be
saved by her own people. He declar-
cd an Independent Poland, an urgent
necessity for the stability of West
