NERVOUS DISEASES JN THE SPRING Cured by Toning tho Blooil ond Strengthening the Nerves It is the opinion of llic best medical authorities, after long observation, that nervous diseases are more common and more scrioii3 in '.he spring than at any other tine of the year. Vital changes in the system, after long winter months, may cause much more trouble than the familiar spring weakness and weariness from which most people suffer as thc result of indoor life, in poorly ventilated and often overheated building��. Official records prove that in April and May neuralgia, St. Vitus dance, epilepsy and other forms of nerve troubles are at their worst, and that then, more than any other lime, a blood-making, nerve-restoring tonic is needed. 'The antiquated custom of taking purgatives in the spring is useless, for lhc system really needs strengthening, while purgatives only gallop through thc bowels, leaving you weaker. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the best medicine, for they actually make thc new, rich, red blood that feeds thc starved nerves, and thus cure the many forms qf nervous disorders, 'lhcy cure also such other forms of spring troubles as headaches, poor appetite, weakness in the limbs, as well as remove unsightly pimples and eruptions.

FARMER HAS POWER TO STRIKE A STAGGERING BLOW FOR LIBERTY POR IN IIIS HANDS RESTS THE CURAT DECISION Hie Cause oi the Allies Depends to a Very Large*Extent on the Production of Abundant Crop., and Every Effort Should Be I'm Forth to Meci the Situation lo lhe Fullest Extent All roads lead to the fnrm, Without the active co-operation of the farmer the wheels uf Industry that ilrive the chariots of war would bc ���ui thc scrap heap and the heel of thc Prussian invader nn the neek of liberty loving mankind. City folk, who 111 normal limes cn at least three meals a day, ranly slop to think of the pari llie farm plays In ministering to their wants and their Comfort Rarely du bankers or men of affairs give si rlous thought to thc farmi r apart from the contribution lie annually makes lo thc visible wealth of the community. Middlemen take a keener interest In the food producer, bill It is Ihc interest of men who hope to reap where Others have sown. 'Ihere are times when the thoughts o( the non-agii- eultural classes nun to llie farm, When crops fail and prices of foodstuffs soar, the people of the towns and cities arc disposed lo attribute the fault to the farmer. Little effort is made to co-ordinate town and country, lo bring producer and consumer into touch, and to obliterate the lines of cleavage that too often keep (heni^ apart, 'lhc average townsman h ignorant of the economies of farming. lie canot understand why the farmer should not always be willing to raise an abundance of crops at low prices. Problems of labor, transportation, marketing fa-1 ci.litics, and market prices, ovcr which the farmer has no control, do not enter into his calculations. He has a vague idea that Agricultural Departments take good care of thc fanner, and see to it that the road between the farm and tlie lown is paved not only wilh good intentions, but'also with legislative enactments that make. ' It attractive for the farmer to farm not for a living only, but for a profit. War has restored the city man's perspective. He now knows that hc nnd the farmer have much in common, lie sees that botli have been exploited hy interested middlemen; that neither thc farmer nor the consumer has had a square deal in lhe past. Any scheme of reconstruction that does not free the farmer from the harassing restrictions now imposed upon his industry, by lack of facilities for marketing his products to advantage, will he strenuously opposed by thc consumer in the city ns well as by .the tiller of the soil. The railways were made for Canada, not Canada for the railways. Tlie same sound ethical principle applies to all the artificial harriers between the farm and the town. It i-t a disgraceful tiling that, at llie very mo- men when the thoughts of patriotic men are turned lo the problem of increased food production, men arc Rambling on the Winnipeg market in October wheat before the, seed has been put in the ground. The famine stares the.world in the face unless food production is greatly increased this year, is the deliberate conciu- cion of competent auiliorities who cannot be regarded as mere alarmists. The American continent, which is free from the darker tragedies of war, has a great duty to fulfill in tlie production of surplus crops su'.ncicnl to meet the craving necessities of countries more unfavorably circumstanced. Under the most favorable harvesting conditions thc situation next year will be very grave. The abnormal influences of war In the reduction of crop acreage must be counterbalanced by a concentrated effort on this side of the Atlantic to avert the appalling suffering and privation that threaten the Allied countries through lhc shortage in food- MnlTs. Steps must bc taken, and quickly, not only to Increase the acreage, under crops, but also lo provide for the proper marketing and distribution of tiie. crops when harvested. Waste must bc eliminated and prices so regulated that the poor as well as the rich shall have a fair .hare of the fruits of the land. The appeal today is lo the farmer. In his hands n'Sls the greal decision. It is with no desire to force his hand or to limit his freedom of action that thc towns and cities arc combining to co-operate as far as possible in restoring tlie balance of labor. The towns and cities hate discovered when too late how much' lhe cause oi' lhe Allies in this war depends on tlle farmer. It is in his power to strike a staggering blow for liberty.

Their strug gle up from llie depths of disablement is often as hard, and even as heroic, as Iheir desperate defence ol Vpn IS or their dashing capture of thc Vimy ridge, A preacher on Easter morning was thanked for the inspiring sermon he had just preached, on the resurrection, He said: "1 had my lext sitting in front of me���a man in khaki, with an empty sleeve. He has had two resurrections already. He was buried by a shell explosion, and was dug out only just in lime lo save his life- That was the first. lie spent months in hospital, fighting his way back lo health. That was lhe second. "Doctoring and nursing of course did much for him; so did the exercises and occupations that they provide nowadays���perhaps the best part of the treatment. But the man himself was working out bis own rc- surrcction, by resolutely pulling his own will-power Into the task. Now he is almost ready to go out into the world, a better and abler man, he says, ihan he was before, in spite of his lost arm. "While the rest of us arc thinking of a resurrection beyond the grave, he has won a resurrection this side of it, to a new life of activity and independence among his fellow-countrymen." Authentic cases resembling that are not rare in the records of the Military Hospitals Commission. Here are a few that have just been communicated to us: A mechanic wdio enlisted In the Princess Patricia's Regiment was wounded, returned to Canada, spent three months in a convalescent hospital, and now earns double his former pay, having taken full advantage of thc mechanical drawing and arithmetic classes carried.on llicrc. Writing to the hospital instructor, he says: "When I enlisted, I was earning about $3 a day at my trade. At present, and since my discharge from military service, I am, technically, a better man all around; I am able ��ow to hold a job as foreman in a machine shop, with more than twice the. salary 1 was gelling before. This benefit to me is greatly due to your practical information, and my only ^ et is that 1 was unable, after my i hargc, to continue instruction with you as you had advised." Not every man, of course, can "double his pay." But one of the most cheering facts proved by experience during the war has been this���tbat almost all the disabled men, including the very seriously wounded, can be equipped once more with power to earn a good living. And often, as Lord Shaughnessy said the other day, thc occupations and training provided by tlie Military Hospitals system "reveal astonishing talents which even thc man himself did nol know he possessed." The Farmer and The Hired Man A Long Way From '76 Anglo-Saxon Race Finding Common Ground on the Defence of Liberty British-Americans have nursed ever since 76 the firm belief that the American Revolution was in ils basic principles a jusi revolution. They havc been frond lo remember that in that great struggle George Washington, an Englishman, led a nation of Anglo-Saxons into bailie against thc tyranny of a German king of England. Out of this feeling there has grown throughout lire counlry a firm- founded belief that ultimately lhe destinies of thc two great Anglo- Saxon races would again unite at some future day in thc defence of some common cause. An American- British alliance is one of the. foremost hopes of such prominent British-Americans as Viscount Bryce. We arc a long way from 76, when a Brilish officer organizes in lhc United States a regiment of British-born to fight for the defence of Old Glory. Evidently thc Anglo-Saxon race has found once more a common ground in thc defence of liberty.���Baltimore Star. A Good Sucueistion For Both Parties To Consider Many a western farmer hait clamored for hired help, aud when hc has got, it, it has ruined him. Labor hurt always been scarce in Western Canada with the result that it lias ofl en been able to demand wages out of all proportion to its value on the land. It is scarcer today llian ever it has been in the history of the country, and the question arises: "What is going to bc done lo put a reasonable limit on the wages of ihe hired man?" It he Is allowed lo put up his services to auction, and close with the highest bidder, a new rate of pay will bc established that will not read- ill be relinquished, even when prices of grain and cattle have dropped lo a normal figure. A dangerous precedent is liable In bc set that will spell the ruin of many of our farmers in the years lo come. There is tlie obvious solution that fanners throughout Western Canada should get together and iix a standard wage for skilled ami unskilled labor respectively, the figures to bc based on the season of the year, But this would need a basis of cp-opera- tion that does not exist among our farmers, unhappily, or many evils they are subject lo would speedily be banished. Let us look at the question from the hired man's point of view, Perhaps in 60 doing we may find the answer, remembering that today's | hired man is tomorrow's hired man's employer. In the majority of cases, the farm laborer is not in Western Canada merely for a wage. He has his own ambitions, fortunately for the coun- tiy, which probably centre on a homestead which he means to take up j one day, when hc has capital enough. I He hires himself out meantime, partly to acquire that necessary cap- 1 ital, partly to gain lhc no loss neccs- ' sary experience of western farming j conditions. When thc question of llis wages arises, he naturally stands out for every cent he thinks he can demand. Ahead of liim arc months of rather irksome, and unquestionably hard work the fruits of which, as he sees it, can only be reckoned in dollars that will bring him nearer to his own independence. This self-centered attitude is equally shared by the farmer, who sees iu the hired man a necessary piece of human machinery, to whom so many dollars a month must bc paid to crank it up for work. Now surely these relations between lhe farmer aud thc hired man in a country like Western Canada arc absolutely wrong. ,Except in the ease of large farms, employing a number of hands, and with the result of the year's work practically guaranteed, the present system of wages gives rise to conditions diametrically opposed to the best interests of both farmer and hired man. In seventy-five cases out of a hundred, better and more profitable relations might be established between the Iwo, on thc following basis Let tiie farmer pay the hired man a minimum salary of say $30 a month and a bonus on the crop. Instead of treating the hired -.nan as a necessary evil, and as a kind of living mortgage on thc harvesting of his wheat, put him on a partnership basis, and give him a quarter, a fifth, or a sixth share in thc farm, tbe extent of the interest to be determined by the size of the crop, the length of his services ou the land, and his degree of capacity and experience. An agreement should bc drawn up by a local solicitor, so that the hired man will know that his interests are properly | protected, and that hc is actually part owner in the forthcoming harvest, and can collect his share thereof, as soon as it is threshed. Such an understanding should redound to thc benefit of both parlies. It would give the hired man a much more enviable position, ten limes llis interest in his work, and the oppor- j Utility to make a substantial slake, considerably in excess of accumulated wages, by his own labor and initiative. It would give the fanner a comrade .is anxious as himself to harvest his crops on the most profitable basis, and it v, culd ensure thai lhe laud ilself paid llic man's wage, according to the yield, which would seem thc right aud proper basis of remuneration.

It is it; vain that their dispatches plead military necessity. Law and custom of lhe civilized world limit such necessity. An army may destroy bouses .nil villages which binder the use of a particular terrain. Such right, however, Is properly exercised only when a battle is Imminent. There is uo warrant for destroying a whole region, on the oil' chance that battles will bc fought somewhere within its limits, In brutality ravaging one of the fairest portions of France, the Germans are consistent wilh their record in Belgium and Poland. Their cruel and ignoble policy has, of course, its base in their theory of the conduct of war. Oilier nations expect to win by the impressions their troops make on the armed foe. Germany expects to win by Striking terror into helpless non-combatants. She hoped to hasten victory by sacking Acrschol, Dinant, Louvain, and scores of hapless villages. She now hopes lo make the cost of driving her back intolerably heavy by crcaling a wilderness as she withdraws. How shall such a nation bc dealt with in defeat?

Alto in thc coppice was a Wishing Stone, a Druid's Altar, the learned called it, and if one sat there and wished for one's heart's desire onc was bound to gel it. llic roses were out in the garden, of lhe Old Cottage, great heavy cabbage roses, little, ica-roses let ling ,,loose their scent on the night air. Syringa was heavily sweet in the hedgerows; the garden, drenched with silver dews, seemed breathing out its whole heart in the coolness afler thc heat of the day. II was llic night for young lovers, lhc Squire said lo himself. If one had not grey hairs and mature pulses nnv might quite well lose one's head nnd do anything foolish on such a night. The moon was coming up behind the hill, just showing lhc born of her silver crescent. Presently she would illuminate vale, and hill, but for tiie moment she gave little, light. All was in pale obscurity, for the afterglow had not yet quite faded from the sky. There were many sounds ill thc night-���the hooting of owls, the whirr of the night-jar, the bun. of the great bumble-bees as they blundered along, slriking what ever was in their path. Suddenly a new sound came ill ihc night���the call of if plover. Standing Inside the privet hedge--the. privet was almost as sweel as the syringa��� the Squire noticed the plover's call and wondered. How on earth did the plovers eonie on this well-drained upland, with its fall to the valley?

Vaguely he was aware that when he had walked up lo the door of thc New Collage he had heard the same sound���a smaller pipe then. It was very loud for a plover. And��� there wcrc no plovers there. It was . someone imitating the plover; a sig nal of some Und; a lover's call, or perhaps onc of the village boys call ing to another. While he listened the door of tin Old Cottage opened, sending a long flood of light down lhc path between the apple tiers. Dolly slood on the threshold, came oul and seemed to listen, standing just beyond the little green porch. She listened, her brad heiil. The Squire's fingers closed on something mar him. A sharp aroma tic smell rose to his nostrils. It was ���i bush ..I Lad's Love. There wasj another name for It, he remembered; Old Man's Beard. It's pulses began to beat fast as bc watched the girl all in while be vond the apple boughs. She was lonely, his poor little girl, grieved nnd fretted, tic began to wondi r what she would say if be wcrc to go to her and tell her be loved her, and ask ii her golden youth could cvei turn to hi grcj hairs. He wondered what had put sueh foolislun ��� s inlo his head. It must have been some way in which Dolly had look d I him of late, sending liim swift glances from her slumbrous beautiful eyes, then veiling them with her white lids nnd long lashes. What hnd she meant by it if she had realized his forty years? "She should never have looked at mc li site meant 1 should not love her.'' muttered the Squire to himself.

As Dr. Ross himself wrote, "The exact route of infection of this great disease, which annually slays its millions of human beings and keeps whole continents In darkness, was revealed. These minute spores I enter the salivary gland of lhc mosquito aud pass with its poisonous saliva directly inlo the blood of men. Never in our dreams had' wc imagined so wonderful a talc as this." Until lately it was not known whether a disease-spreading mosquito could infect more than one person. Recent experiments of the public health service of the United Slates governnieni have proved that an infected malar ial mosquito ran Infect several per ranis wilhoui again obtaining bio nl from an original source of infection, and that an infected mosquito retains her ability to infect wilh malaria for at least _5 days. Even if a niosquili empties her available supply of malarial parasites into one man, she may infect a second man a few hours or a few days laler llirougli a new generation of parasites. This is a most important t discovery, for ii shows that thc individual disease- laden insect is a veritable machine- gun in point of danger, and il emphasizes thc necessity for stamping eilt the. breeding places of the malarial mosquito. of the treatment of female ills.

Mr, Carlicr is also a member of the special commission which was in- slalled in Paris last fall, thc members having been appointed by the Belgian minister, for the study of electrification of the Belgian railways.

Sonic of our farm boys may be better suited for occupations other than farming, bin those who ar* suited for farming and wish to farm should bc given encouragement to do so. Boys on the farm are too often al lowed to drift along with very little attention being paid to them. Thej boy will be more likely to become a willing worker if Iiis interest is aroused in the business side of his work aud hc will gain ability lo save if be is taught to spend thoughfully and wisely. These two factors, willingness to work and ability lo save, arc fundamental for future success. Permit the boy to participate in the practical business transactions of the farm as the conditions allow. Let him do some of the buying and selling. When hc has decided lhat he wiil bc a farmer, the father may be gradually relieved from some of his responsibilities through a partnership management.���F.C.N, in Conservation.
