Returning Tourists Speak Wen
of Their Treatment in
Canada.
Tho Canadian Government, navlng (
made extensive preparations during
tho lust few years to Impart to the
National Park system u degreo of com
fort and pleasure to the visitor, com
bining the best efforts of man with the
very best gifts of creation, has now
tho satisfaction of seeing an apprecia
tion of tho efforts they have niudc.
Tourists returning from a trip over
tho Canadian Pacific, tho Grand Trunk
Pacific and tho Canadian Northern
railways speak enthusiastically of the
beauties that are revealed as theso
roads enter and pass through the
mountains. The Government has spent
enormous sums of. money laying out
roads, and developing easy means of
access to glacier, hill, valley, lake and
stream. For what purpose? That the
wonders that Canada possesses In Its
natural parks may become more easily
accessible and afterward talked about,
that a tourist travel through Canada
would result. Tourist travel means
business, and It Is business that Can
ada seeks. To make It oven more easy
for this travel, tho Government has
taken pains to make every step of tho
tourist's entry Into Canada one that
will give tho very least degree of trou
ble. On crossing the border, there Is
only tho ordinary examination of bag
gage, and tho only precaution is Unit
in tho case of foreign aliens, and oven
In their case thero Is no difficulty
when tho officials are satisfied that
they are not attempting entry as ene
mies. Altiiough officials of tho Government
have taken every means to bring to
Iho attention of the tourist and others
that no difficulty could be placed In
tho way of their admission, thero still
remained doubt in tho minds of some.
Only the other day the Government
took action again, and authorized tho
statement that no measures taken for
recruiting the forces either have been
or will be applied to any persons who
nre not ordinarily resident in the Do
minion. Nor is it the Intention to ask
for volunteers except from among Brit
ish subjects, resident in Canada. More
over, the Military Service Act, under
which conscription Is applied In Great
Britain, affects only persons "ordinar
ily resident In Great Britain."
Americans and British subjects resi
dent in tho United States who de
sire to visit Canada will find no more
trouble at the bordci than they have
oxperleuced In the past, nud upon ar
riving they will bo made as welcome
as ever. War conditions of any kind
will not Inconvenience or Interfere
with them.
The Immigration authorities sug
gest that, as a precaution against In
convenience, nnturallzed Americans
whose country of origin was one of
those at war with the British empire,
should provide themselves with their
certificates of naturalization.
Now that It is impossible to visit
Europe, the planning of your vacation
trip through Canada is one to glvo
consideration to. The Government luis
taken an active Interest in Its Na
tional Parks in the heart of tho Rocky
mountains. Theso can bo reached by
any of the lines of railways, and the
officials at these parks have been ad
vised to render every attention to the
visiting tourists, who In addition to see
ing the most wonderful scenery In tho
world nothing grander nothing bet
ter have excellent wagon and motor
roads, taking them Into the utter re
cesses of what was at one time con
sidered practically inaccessible.
In addition to this the tourist will
not bo Inactive to tho practical pos
sibilities that will be before him as he
passes over tho great plains of the
Western Provinces. Tho Immense
wheat fields, bounded by the horizon,
no mntter how far you travel. The
wide pasture lands, giving home nnd
food to thousands of heads of horses
and cattle. Tho future of a country
that ho before only heard of but knew
so little about, will bo revealed to him
In the most wonderful panorama, and
Imprinted in tho lens of his brain In
such a way that he will bring back
with him th story of the richness of
Agricultural Western Canada. And
ho will also have had an enjoyable
outing. Advertisement.

Veterans of Spanish-American War in Congress
BAHLY a company of soldiers who
war of 1898 can be mustered In tho
veterans were connected with volunteer
their services during tho Spanish war
ranged from mobilization to actual bat
tle, but they were more or less trained
soldiers, nnd the majority of them are
In fair shape for fighting today.
Of course, some of tho congres
sional veterans of the Spanish war are
now fat and short-winded. It would
take several months maybo longer
to put them In condition, but they nro
veterans Just tho surae, and have a
knowledge superior to that of tho
"rookie" regarding military tactics and
service. Some of the legislators have
affairs.
Here Is a fairly complete list of tho experienced Spanish war veterans now:
Senators Fall of New Mexico, Hardwlck of Georgia, Hughes of New Jer
sey, Lewis of Illinois, Vardaniau of Mississippi, Wadsworth of New York,
Weeks of Massachusetts, Polndexter of Washington.
Congressmen Gardner of Massachusetts, Crago of Pennsylvania, Dyer of
Missouri (now commander in chief of tho United Spanish War Veterans),
Aiken of South Carolina, Anderson of Minnesota, Ellsworth of Minnesota,
Greene of Vermont, Hart of New Jersey, Haskell of New York, Helverlng of
Kansns, Howard of Georgia, Iluddleston of Alabama, Hull of Tennessee,
Humphreys of Mississippi, James nnd Loud of Michigan, Neely of West Vir
ginia, Oglesby of New York, Oldfleld of Arkansas, Sells of Tennessee, Stone of
Illinois, Tllson of Connecticut, Van Dye of Minnesota.
Congressmen Johnson of Washington, Langley of Kentucky, Austin of Ten
nessee nnd Key df Ohio nre numbered among the honorary members of tho
United Spanish War Veterans.
Theso veterans of the war of 1898, together with members of congress who
are affiliated with the National Guard, would present a good-sized company of

New Designs for Our Halves, Quarters and Dimes
UNCLE SAM Is going to have some new styles in his coins, and next fall we
are going to have dimes, quarters and half dollars of designs never before
seen In the metnl money of this country. It will bo the first change which hns
been made in this minor sliver since
1891. Secretary McAdoo seems to
think that the half dollar has declined
In popularity because It had not a pret
ty design. Secretary McAdoo has an
other guess coining. Nobody ever de
clined a half dollar that he could get
4 half hold of. Just tho same, this de
sign Is going to be changed.
Tho face of tho new half dollar
bears a full-length Liberty, with a back
ground of tho American flag flying to
breeze. The goddess Is striding to
ward the dawn of u new day, carrying laurel und oak branches, symbolic of civil
and military glory. The reverse side shows an eagle porched high upon a moun
tain crag, wings unfolded. Growing from a rift In tho rock Is n sapling of
mountain pine, symbolic of America.
Tho design of tho 25-cent piece Is Intended to typify tho awakening of tho
country to Us own protection, Secretary McAdoo's announcement states. Lib
erty, a full-length figure, Is shown stepping townrd the country's gateway,
bearing upraised n shield, from which the covering Is being drawn. Tho right
hand bears nn ollvo branch of peace. Both tho half dollar and tho quarter bear
tho phrase, "In God We Trust."
Tho design of tho dime Is simple. Liberty, with a winged cap, Is shown
on '.he foreslde, and on tho roverso Is a design of a bundle of rods and a battle
ur, symbolic of unity, "wherein lies tfcs Nation's strength."

COOKING LOBSTERS.
These delicate shellfish arc so well
liked that although In many states
they arc hard to get, a
few ways of preparing
them will not be amiss.
Those who aro fortunato
enough to hnvo them In
plenty will appreciate a
now dish. A medium
sized lobster Is tho best
to choose, those which
are lively and heavy in
weight LolxUcrs should
bo killed Immediately be
fore boiling. If a pointed knlfo bo run
Into tho bnck between tho body nnd
tnll shells, death will occur nt once.
No lobster Is of good flavor that has
been killed hours before It Is cooked.
A fresh boiled lobster has n stiff tall,
which will, If gently raised, return
with n spring to Its curled condition.
Cnro should bo taken never to pull tho
tnll straight, as It will never respond
again.
Lobster Toast. Cnnned lobster may
be used for this dish. Pick over to
remove any pieces of shell. Add ono
dessertspoonful of warmed butter, red
pepper, cupers and pickled cucumber.
Pound till well blended, add salt. Heat
hot and serve on buttered toast.
Creamed Lobster. Remove the ment
from tho lobster and chop finely. Beat
the yolks of two eggs and mix with a
quarter of a cupful of cream, a few
drops of onion Juice, a half a teaspoon
ful of snlt, a pinch of red pepper and
a grating of nutmeg. Melt two table
spoonfuls of butter, add the minced
lobster, cook and stir for a few mln
tites; then add the cream and other
Ingredients. Stir until tho combina
tion thickens. Serve on toast.
Broiled Lobster. Kill tho lobsters
as before described, and with a sharp
knife nnd a mallet or with n cleaver
split down tho back on tho line which
runs down the middle of the shell. He
move the stomach and Intestines, place
the two pieces with tho shell part down
over a moderate fire. When half
cooked, moisten well with butter, and
sprinkle with pepper, salt and lemon
Juice. Crack the claws before serving.
