What Exporters Should Know.

A needle factory had sent to Aleppo, Turkey, needles that were tied up with green twine. The Mohammedan mer- chant who had ordered them returned the package, for the reason that the use of the green, the color consecrated to the prophet, for such a purpose was a derision of religion. Another con- signment of the same factory to China wrapped up in white paper was return ed because the Chinese recipient would not accept goods packed in "paper of mourning" White is the mourning color of the Chinese.

There Is nothing original about Mar sha von Hindenburg's boast that he would drive the English into the sea. In the Peninsular war Soult made the same remark about the British under Wellington that Won Hindenburg has now uttered about the British under Haig. Wellington did retire perilously near to the sea, just as Haig has. But Soult looked at the position and changed his mind.

Listen to me! Take no more sicken- ing, salivating calomel when bilious or constipated. Don't lose a days work 1!
 Calomel is mercury or quicksilver, which causes necrosis of the bones. Calomel, when it comes into contact with sour bile, crashes into it, break ing it up. This is when you feel that awful nausea and cramping. If you are sluggish and "all knocked out" if your liver is torpid and bowels consti- pated or you have headache, dizziness, coated tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour, just take a spoonful ot harmless Dodson's Liver Tone.

ALLIES HURL BACK
 AUSTRIAN SOLDIERS
FIGHTING ALONG PiAVE RIVER IS REPORTED MOST BITTER
 HARD FIGHTING CONTINUES.
AUSTRIAN LOSSES HEAVY
Strokes of Enemy Are Particularly Violent On MonteIIo Pateau-Cap- ture Would Give Him Command of
 Roads Through Venice.

Rome.-Not only are the Italians and their British and French com rades in arms holding in check the Austrian offensive along the greater part of the 100-mile battle front from the region southeast of Trent to the Adriatic sea, but they have turned az gressors on some of the more import ant sectors, especially in the mountain regions.
 CounterattackS in the hill country in the north at several points have re- suited in the occupation by the allies of ground won from them in the mi tial onslaught and the rectifcation or their lines, while a stiffening of the front along the Piave river has made impossible for the time being at least, further fording of the stream by the enemy.
 Hard fighting is still in progress, however, with the Austrians bringing against the allied armies on both northern and eastern parts of the bat tlefeld in an endeavor to reach the lines and gain access in force to the plains.
 The strokes of the enemy are partic- ularly violent on the Montello plateau, the highest bit of ground along the middle reaches of the Piave, the cap ture of which would give him conI- mand of the roads leading through Tresviso to Venice and a fair way westward through the province of previso. The Italians are inficting heavy casualties on the troops of Em- peror Charles which crossed the river at this point.
 To the south from St. Andrea to Fossalata, respectively, the northern and southern Hanks Of the famous Benson loop, where last year the Aus trians effected crossing of the Piave, only later to be driven back with san guinary losses, and from Fossalata to San Dona Di Piave the fighting also is of violent character with the Ital- ians heroically and successfully, ac- cording to the Rome War Office, hold iffaes- iflses tisee- tfse-ffirre line Of the river.
 Between Candelu and the Benson loop, where the Austrians. crossed the Piave in Saturdays fighting, the Ital- ians have driven them back to the riv- CT bank and are endeavoring to push them across the stream. The lat est Austrian official communication records the gain of additional ground west of San Dona Di Piave and the capture of the village of Capo Sile on he eastern edge of the lagoon region, in the province of Venetia and about 20 miles from the city of Venice It. self
 Thus far the Italians, British and French troops have made prisoner of more than 4,500 Austrians, while the Austrian War Office asserts that 12- 900 prisoners have been taken by the Austrians.

POPULATION OF FRANCE

The Toronto Globe: For some year.
before the outbreak of the world wal
the population of France remained al
most stationary. Sometimes the vita
statistics disclosed a small increase
while again the population was shown
to have decreased during the preceding
year. Almost a century, ago, in 1921
notwithstanding the drain of the
nation S vitality caused by the Napoleo-
mic wars, France S population was 30
81 ! ,000-eXclusive of Alsace- Lorraine
and was increasing steadily from year
to year. The present population is un
questionably less than it was 20 years
ago, and the decrease under war condi-
tons is alarming. The population
in 1911 was 3s,601 900. The surplus OF
births over deaths in the two years 1912
1913 was 99,S12. The surplus of deaths
over births in 1914 was 1897 in 1915 it
was 216l ,2S5, and in 1916 it was 1888.
600. The births in that terrible year
totalled $4,000 while the deaths of
civilians numbered 100000 and those of
soldiers about 100000. The statistics
for 1917 are not yet available, but the
presumption is that the loss in popu
lation viii be, as great as in
1916. 1t may be stated in general
terms, however, that the population OF
France today, excluding Belgian and
Serbian refugees is not much over
thirty-eight millions, a decline of a mil
lion and a half since the outbreak OF
the war.
Germany's loss of population during
the war must have been considerable. !
but no details are available. The most (
estimates give the deaths +
in action at l,4oO,4 and from this
total the estimates range up to over two
The death rate among the
civilian population, especially youna
has also been exceptionally
nigh. The estimated population Of the
German empire in 1914 was 67,Sl2,000.
It is probably slightly under sixty-five
millions today. But the recuperative
lower of Germany is much greater than
hat of France. In the decade before
he population of Germany increas ed to
