The wcalher is changeable���balmy nnd springlike onc day, raw, cold and piercing the next. It is such sudden changes of weather lhat sets the pangs and tortures of rheumatism, lumbago and sciatica go ing. 13ut it must bc borne in mind that although wcalher conditions start the pains, the trouble is deeply rooted ill the blood, and can only be cured through the blood- All the lotions and liniments in the world can't cure rheumatism. Rubbing may seem to ease the pain while you.are rubbing, but there its value ends. Only llirougli the blood can you cure rheumatism. That's why Dr- Williams' Pink I'ills have so many thousands of cures of lhis trouble to their credit. The new, rich blood which they actually make drives out the poisonous acid and rheumatism is vanquished. Among many sufferers from rheumatism who have been cured by this medicine is Mr- C. 11. McGee, freight shed foreman for thc G.T.R. at Peterboro, who says:���"In the course of my work 1 am naturally exposed lo all hinds of weather, with the resull that about two years ago 1 contracted rheumatism which sc- tled in my legs. At times I could hardly walk, and often had lo quit my day's work owing lo the stiffness and the paiu. 1 tried different remedies without getting any help until 1 began the use of Dr. Williams' l'ink Pills- i. used six boxes of these and can say that 1 am about as well as ever 1 was.

The German fleet consisted of at least 38 Fokkers and Rumplers, while there were only 30 British machines- The issue hung long in the balance. The first to bc put out of action was a Fokker. It whirled giddily for a moment, burst into flames, and then crashed to thc ground. Soon afler- v aids a British biplane was badly hit- Next Iwo German aeroplanes came to grief at a short distance from their line. Thc British .airmen displayed very great superiority and in the end remained masters of the air, pursuing the enemy with the utmost daring.

Shall we seize it, or bungle and miss il? Thai will be the test of the quality of Canadian statesmanship, W'e havc always wanted men to develop the country. Well, there tl-cy are, or will bc���ready lo our hand- Immigration is desirable, but uncertain. These nun of ours .will conic home as a matter of course. They will not come back exactly the same as they were, but Some people have an absurdly exaggerated idea of the change we may expect. The slacker has been improved by discipline, and the downright steady' man lias certainly not been turned into a slacker. Taken as a whole, the men v>ho return able-bodied will be found better men than ever, physically and menially���more hardy, self-reliant and enterprising; their minds widened by experience- Some of them will naturally take a littc time to settle down and get their bearings. But that will bc only a passing phase. 1 take for granted that the present system of getting cx-soldiers employment will be greatly improved and developed, for it is barely able to place the few thousands already with us. But even if the system is eo improved that every man returning after the war gets some sort of a job, it docs not follow that wc shall have any great cause to boast. We shall have achieved a negative, success; but wc must aim at something higher, a more positive success. There is too much haphazard employment, at the best of times; and witii a flood of men having to be placed simultaneously llicrc is a greatly increased danger of shoving them inlo places without enough regard to suitability- Pulling round pegs into square holes does not pay. Having still some lime to prepare, there will bc no excuse if we do not devise schemes of employment which will use a high percentage of each man's capacity, instead of a low percentage. The man and bis employer and the country at large will all gain by this The man can make most by work that he is interested in, and has skill for. The industry that he is engaged In prospers by his good work, and the counlry as a whole prospers or suffers according to the prosperity or depression of its various Industries, I am glad to hear that the National Service Commission is taking steps to discover the previous trade or calling of each man now under arms, aim iiis intuitions or capacities for his future career, a't any rate in the matter of agriculture- This is the foundation Industry of the whole country. Farming should be made so profit able, by educational and financial aid, and lhe social conditions of rural llffl should be so improved, that thousands of men wilh natural Inclinations that way will be attracted to agriculture and will succeed at it. But evctl when lhal is done, the great majority of lhe nun will have lo he provided for in other kinds of work, I should like lo see thousands of them, not now highly skilled, given special training lo equip them wilh lhe skill they lack- I am sure it would pay the country to give it Ihem, We must use brains and ingenuity in forming our plans for doing the best that can bc done for���and wilh ���the returning men. Good people often say to them, "Nothing is too good for you." It is easy to talk like that, in vague generalities- But we have got to conic down to particulars, and lind oul in. detail what is best for the men���yes, and for each particular man, with his individual capacities and aptitudes. By doing that very thing for men returning disabled, the Military Hospitals Commission has given the | country a splendid lead. This lead should bc followed in dealing with the mass of men returning later on. The benefits of this system , should finally be extended to our people gen- crally, so that every boy on leaving school should be directed and helped into the occupation that he can do best in���anr\trained specially for it, whenever that is by any means possible. In some cases, of course, it 's hard to tell what a boy will be most fit for, until long after he leaves school- But even in such a case a gcod deal can bc done to keep him out of work that lie i.s positively unfit for. Thc Commission, I notice, gives men a good deal of occupation and instruction, while they arc still under medical treatment. In fact, these occupations form part of the curative treatment���a really valuable part. But they also help to develop a man's technical skill- Often they reveal astonishing talents wliicli even thc man himself did not know he possessed. This skill is developed, and these talents are discovered and trained, as they never would havc been if the men had not become hospital patients. It is a striking case of getting good out of evil. I am not surprised to find that riany returned soldiers, simply through the training they have had in hospitals, have gone out to take positions better than they ever occupied before- An extra privilege is. given to mm who arc so incapacitated that lhcy cannot take up llieir old line of work. They arc given special training for a new occupation, in technical colleges or otherwise. And lhcy arc helped to choose the occupation most suitable and profitable for them, by the advice of medical and vocational experts. The cost of the training is paid for them, and so is even their maintenance and that of their families, for as long as the training lasls ���and a month longer- It is an admirable system, and I shouM like to .sec every man seizing the opportunity who has it offered to him. Next Forward Move The Woman on the Farm Deserves Conveniences and is Gradually Getting Them Never in the history of The. Farmers' Advocate have so many Inquiries conic to this oflicc regarding water systems and sewage disposal contrivances for country homes. In this issue is published an article dealing sewage disposal on the faru with Much of this information has been published in these columns on previous occasions, but wc are pleased to meet the demand for more information on a subject which interests such a large percentage of our clicn- tclc- There is a hopeful sign in the inquiries, Conditions in ihe farm homes are improving. All too often the fanner has bought new machinery and Implements to lighten his work, forgetting aboul the ceaseless toil of his wife. Too often, also, has the barn been a model ofhandiness while the house was anything hut such. Many a man had running water iu his pig pen while the only running waler in llie house, where his wife toiled without ceasing, was iu the attic where the roof leaked and the water soaked through and spoiled llic paper iu the front room- The woman on the farm deserves conveniences and she is gradually getting them. Running water and sewage disposal arc important in farm home comfort, and they are not costly beyond the reach of the farmer.���-Farmers' Advocate. The War's Nerve Centre Vast Nitrate Deposits in Chile Avail, able to Entente Allies Iu an area of 350 miles of arid, barren desert in Chile lies the nerve centre of the great war. If an unfriendly power had held control of this desert tract, the war would have ended long ago with the crushing of the Entente Allies. It is the famous Chilean nitrate region. Wiliam Howard Russell; a famous English war correspondent, wrolc as long ago as 18S9: "Without Britisii control of the sodium .nitrates of Chile the map of the world would bc very different today." Germany now docs not need to depend upon thc Chilean nitrate deposits, for .lie German chemists are making synthetic nitrogen. However, for six months before the outbreak of the war in 1014 Germany had been receiving enormous shipments of sodium nil rate from Chile. It is estimated, in fact, that Germany had on hand 1 million tons of nitrate in August, 1914. Some engineers say there is enough nitrate in the Chilean desert to supply the world for tw-o hundred years. There arc about fifty thousand Chileans employed in the industry. Nothing grows in the region about the ni- tiate deposits; it is a dead land. To al! appearances the Chilean nitrate towns are like the old time Western American mining camps. A great deal of liquor is consumed in the districts and consequently there is considerable lawlessness. North and Harvey, two British adventurers, originally owned the nitrate concessions, but now the Chilean government controls most of the valuable tract. Chile fought a war with Peru for the northernmost part of the nitrate beds and won. The British, through their financial strength, exercise thc greatest control of any foreign power ovcr the fields, though three German brokerage houses wcrc big producers before thc war. Air Comes High It is inspiring in these hard limes v lien the cost of living is so high to read that Andrew Carnegie has paid ! $2,000,000 for a corner lot 100 by 225 firt to prevent a building being pui up on It, Thus lie gets more fresh air, and thai is said to bc highly advisable, especially for those who have to live in big cities.���-Hartford Cour- ant. Count Keventlow's Language Count Revcntlow is irrespressible. "This is what he says about the Uniled States, "A great nation without an army to smash a highway robber, a great people who builds ships to run them on the rocks." In one of his most vituperative passages, in .his latest personal appeal to the German nation to have confidence in the Divine Word of their War Lord, he adds: "The bluffing Briton always whines when he sees that he is to be beaten. He knows that we have struck terror into his heart by our daring submarine war ships." Fancy thai! "Now, if you have it in your head," Said the professor, who had explained a theory to his students, "you have it all in a nutshell." Millions of colds start with wet feet, which could and should be prevented by wearing rubbers, rubber farm shoes or high rubber boots. Through the slop and slush of Spring you can work better, be more comfortable, and enjoy better health, if your feet are protected by rubber footwear bearing one of these famous Trade Marks: "JACQUES CARTIER" - "GnANBY" "MERCHANTS" - - "DAISY" "MAPLE LEAF" - "DOMINION" Canadian Consolidated Rubber Co.

The fisheries constitute the main industry oi the colony, and in normal times a large licet of schooners and small steamers is engaged throughout the autumn and winter in carrying to Europe and South America fish caught in the spring and summer and cured by being pickled ami dried in the sun. The vessels trading principally with Portugal and Spain, Italy and Greece, bring back cargoes of salt from Sicily and Spain. Until recently thc war has not seriously itilerttn u with this trade except for a temporary shutting off of the Greek market by ihc Entente blockade. Since Jan, 1, however, six fish-carrying vessels have been torpedoed oli the Portuguese coasl and iu tl.e Mediterranean. l-'ishing agencies here have purchased .ill ves. sels at present available, bin as the Hriiish admiralty has requisitioned many steamers formerly used in tlur trade there is a growing shortage of tonnage. The trade will rnjuirc at least 35,- 000 tons of salt to cure lhis \ear's catch of fish. Thus far.only enough ships have been secured lu bring in 9,000 tons. Russia's Treatment of Her Prisoners At the end of 1916 the prisoners employed in slate and agricultural work in Russia numbered 1,1.18,000. Of these 515,000 were under the jurisdiction of the ministry of agriculture; 29-1,000 mines and factories, and 169,- 000 ways ami communications, No Intoxicating litfuors are allowed to prisoners, Including officers "food is passed by local boards, under instructions laid down by the minister of the interior. No discipline is meted out to prisoners without the consent of the commanding officers'. The percentage of complaints by the prisoners has been so small that the |/i i -v ��� 111 i .> linn .��.._.. ww w....... -.,.-. ��� . American Ambassador at Petrograd j clared, and has been The unpopularity of the Russo* Japanese war led to an insistent demand from the Libera! and Revolutionary leaders in Russia for a "Con- slituent Assembly," which should re- ' place the hated bureaucratic regime by democratic institutions, and tha Duma was the "sop to public opinion-" It lias had a checkered career, but, despite the continued opposition of the Czar and his��� followers, it has forced itself on the administration, i-.ntil it has become a vital factor in the administration of tl.e affairs of the Empire. Ils short history has been characterized by Imprisonments oi its leaders of the more radical sections, and asr-assinations of leading bureaucrats. The first Duma wns opened in 1906. It. lasted only a few days, when it was dissolved by M- Goremykin, the leader oi the Czar's government. Tha house was opened again the following year, and, to soothe the demands of the members, Mr. Stolypin, the then leader of the government, promised all kinds of reforms; butniinor revolutions were the sequence, of much disappointment on the part of the various parties composing tha Duma. The competence of the Russian Duma hai been strictly limited It shared with the Emperor the legislative power, including the disctis.-ion and sanctioning of lhc budget. All measures dealing with the army and the navy were outside its competence; these were not laws, but "administra. live rules." The procedure of tha house practically placed the control of the legislation In the hands of tha ministers. Any member could suggest legislation, but its introduction waa at the discretion of the ministers, though the ministers were not re�� sponsible to the Duma, but to tha Emperor. But, notwithstanding these ob�� Their I atactes to political reform, the mem�� bcrs of Russia's "Popular House' have always taken advantage of free�� dom of speech, when it existed, and have at least voiced the views of thf people- It has been noticeably on the lid* of the allies since the war waa de�� closed mora asked to make independent in-1 than once by an Imperial ukase Co. *' being "loo pronouncedly pro-ally. quirics by Germany, and he reported that in all camps tiie conditions were most satisfactory, "Who stood up for Jark whan ha married Miss l-'lirtlrigli?"

Man to Man After all the Squire hnd something 'to do to catch his 2:-15 train. He had carried off Dolly and thc child and Mrs. Egerton to Silverthorne and left them there, exacting a promise that they would remain iill hc. returned by -ihc 5:45, by which train ; Lionel Egerton wns coming home, That would put out of the question his seeing Hilary. Just as well; he was not very anxious to scc Hilary till lit had sonic satisfactory news of Lndy South and Margaret. He was not sure how Hilary would lake it. He and Margaret had been like brother and sister. Too close, the Squire said to himself, for love to spring up between them, else they ought to have been lovers. Airs. Egerton had no objection to spending the day at Silverthorne rather than at the New Cottage. The meals would be much better cooked and morc daintily served, and, oddl^ enough, the lady, for all her grave, serious beauty, was not insensible to such considerations. The comparative poverty of the New Collage fretted her. She felt herself much more at home at Ihc Manor, where she could sit the long golden afternoon through with a novel or lie on the softest couches if she would, anil not fear to hear the village beauty in 'the cottage kitchen breaking the crockery or stumbling over her own feet. She had assented graciously to the Squire's suggestion lhat Dolly should not be allowed to sleep at the Old Cottage by herself for a while. She had been very gracious lo the Squire, especially since lie had become an art patron. "She need never have slept there," she said, "if it was not for her own odd ways and her attitude about that horrid old dog. If it had been mine should have had him put oul of his misery long ago. I never thought it was sanitary lor Dolly to have him in the coltage; hut since she would have liim 1 did my best to keep Susan from going llicrc, I do not mind a cat In the house, but I think a dog's place is out of doors. I've taught Leo to think with me; or at lenst not to think against me. When we married, Leo wns as bad about Keeper ns Dolly." The Squire was glad that Dolly had not heard the Bpccch. He thought he could trust Lionel Egerton il he could nol trust bis wife, lie would speak to him on the journey down. Meanwhile (here was something lo be done with which hc could trust the old gardener at the Manor House. Afler all he only just caught the 2:-l5, and when he reached Chappcll Place he found that it was Mr. Lang- ton's hour for seeing patients. He- was shown into the waiting-room, where there wcrc half a dozen people before him. There was nothing to do but await his turn with what composure he might, He experienced all the dreariness oi the doctor's waiting-room, dim will, the colored pictures in the lower panes of the window that else would hnve looked out ou leads. The window was tightly shut, as it Invariably is iu such places. There was a woolly plush cloth on thc dining table, on which lay the pictorial papers of sonic weeks back, an illustrated guide-book, a book of photographs, and one or two sixpenny novels. Plainly Mr. Langton did not keep his own rending for the J wailing room. Hc sat down on a slippery leather couch by the wall. Though there were several people in lhe room, llicrc was a silence only broken by the ticking of the clock. The place got on his nerves. He began to wonder what the oilier wailing people about him had to tell the doctor. There was a smell of disinfectants, of antiseptics In the mum. He remembered his hospital days. His soldiering days. How far away they wcrel lie felt that he was growing old. One by one those who wailed with him were summoned to lhc surgeon's Consulting room. One by onc they passed iii and the door closed behind Ihem. At last il was his turn. He, too, was beckoned by the manservant and passed tlirougli the door wilic!) was tlie gate of life or death to many who took thai way. The surgeon was bending ovcr his rase book, writing some observations when lhc Squire came ill. He looked up. The light wus strong in the room despite lhc blinds half way down, alniosl meeting the brise-bise curtains below. Mr. Langton recognized his visitor. "Ah," be said, "you do not come to consult me professionally. Won't you lake a seat?" "I must apologize for coming in tllis way���intruding on lime which must be valuable." The Squire spoke stiffly, and remained standing, "I meant to have called earlier in the day." "Don't apologize. I should have been at the hospital or visiting patients at another hour. 1 am only afraid you may have had to wait." He find sat down with something of a weary air. He leant back in his chair and wailed for the Squire to speak. He looked what he was in his profession, al sail of solemn black. It became, him. Ccrvasc Langton was one of those men who, being plain-looking, pass for handsome, especially with women. His clean-shaven face, with the commanding mouth, the searching eyes, was of the kind to inspire confidence in nervous patients. He stood up after a pause with an air of saying that since his visitor would not sit he would not.

They wcrc both tall men, equal adversaries, as they stood and faced each other, "You wished to see inc ?" The Squire, never very eloquent, found a difficulty in beginning. When he spoke it was to the point. "It is about Lady South. Where is she?" "By what right do you ask?" "The right of an old friend, Lady South and her daughter arc dear anil honored friends of mine." "Oh, I concede your righl." The surgeon walked to the chimney-piece, picked up a cigarette, lit it, nnd came back. I "I am very sorry 1 cannot tell i you," he said, Against thc liehl his profile revealed a linggardness which had not appeared in full face, "You know where she is?" "Certainly; 1 know where she is. She has given me no permission to reveal her address. She is with her daughter. I am sorry I can sny no more." The Squire's face darkened, His eyes suddenly blazed. j "You know that a lady does not leave her home in the circumstances! in which Lady South left hers witli-j out provoking comment���-gossip, if| you will." He brought out the words with a jerk. "I am very sorry. If there had i been any other way she would have taken it." The Squire was very angry. "Do you understand," he asked icily, "that when yon and Lady South used to meet���suircptitously���there, was bound to bc gossip?" The other mail answered him with a weary air.

"My trouble started from a strain,' Mrs. Ascah says. "I suffered for years. 1 was attended by a doctor and wns also treated at a hospital. I suffered from stiffness in the joints, I had a bitter taste, especially in the morning, and at times was subject to severe headaches- 1 had a pressure and often a sharp pain at the top of my head and my skin itched and burned at night. "Neither from the doctor nor at the hospital did 1 get any permanent relief. Then 1 started to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and two boxes did mc so much good I feel like recommending them to everyone who has kidney trouble." Dodd's Kidney Fills cure sick kidneys.
