The awful ravages Of the war have
drawn heavily upon the health OF
these people Of the east. Poorly inA
formed as to hygiene they have suf-
Tered greatly. A regular American hos
pital has been established in the Holy
Caty and this hospital includes a mod
ern laboratory and dispensary, as we'll
as a ehildren's hospital and clinic.
Hundfeds OF war orphans are being
cared for while destitute mothers are
bringing scores of sick and starving
DaDles to the dispenSary every day.
The Red Cross supplies milk, medicine
and warm clothing and seeks to stop
the awful infant mortality brought
about by the war. Most Of the ba-
bies are the children of Turkish sol.
dlers who have been killed or scatter
ed IN the rout of the Turk by the
British.

WHERE FIFTY MILLIONS OF DEER
AWAIT COMING OF THE SPORTSMAN

Hunters paradise is the caribou
country Of the Canadian Northwest
Territories.
On the barren lands UP around
Chesterfield inlet and Baker lake
more than 50,C00.00o caribou roam
waiting for the hunters to come.
Enough deer meat there to feed a
hungry world for years and years!
Canada will soon throw open the
door to this hunters paradise by lay
ing the last 20 miles of steel rails ia
complete the government railroad
from the Pas in Manitoba to Port Mel
son on the. shores Of Hudson Bay
Then hunters can 80 by way of Win
nipeg to Port Nelson, thence to Ches
terfield inlet and Baker lake AMI
stand In the heart Of the caribou
country.
And those that know say there arc
more caribou there than there eJe1
were buffalo in the Western Amer1
can plains The caribou is probably
the greatest natural game preserve
left on earth. And it is soon to Der
invaded. The last railroad bridge ant
emDankment have been completed
Soon Grains will be running into
Port Nelson, loaded with eager hunt
ers.
Caribou are a species of small deer
They range the cold. bleak wilderness
from the Attic Circle southwark
Sometimes they drift away down to
Saskatchewan and Manitoba But
the millions are to be found in the
Chesterfield inlet region.
Caribou" says Osborne Scott OF
the Canadian Northern railway, "tra
vel in such numbers that it often
takes days for the herds to pass a
given point. They move, in solid
masses, wedged so tightly that they
often rub the hair off their sides.

Admiral Saved Engineer.

A striking feature Of the naval side
of the war is the number Of retired
British adnlirals who have returned to
the navy, bringing with them full
vigor and the quick determination
Of the service.
On June 10 Of the present year,
when an explosion took place on q
motor launch, Admiral James Startin,
who held the rank of admiral, retired,
Immediately proceeded alongside and,
learning that the engineer was below
in the fiercely burning engine room,
climbed down the hatch without the
slightest hesitation, and unaidcd, re-
covered the engineers body. For this
brave deed King George has approved
the award Of the Albert medal to Ad-
miral Startin.
