U. 1020 Keeping Horses Busy A government investigation of operations on twenty-eight farms at Conway, Ark., disclosed the fact that except when Held work was very urgent the horses were not worked more than one-third of the time in good weather. For instance, last January there were twenty-one days when the ground wfr lit to plow and yet some farmers did not turn a furrow. Tho average amount of Held work done per horse on the twenty-eight farms was CO days during the month and the average amount of otber work occupied 5,2 days. Three times as much field work could just as well have been done, and nearly twice ns much work altogether might have beeu done. Later on these farmers fell behind with their work because of bad weather. One of them cut and hauled wood In January at $1,20 per day for himself and team, while more enterprising neighbors turned in wet, with only half of the days lit for Held work. This man was greatly delayed in getting in his crop. Some of these twenty-eight farmers had to leave part of their land idle this year he- cause of the delay from rains late in the spring. Those who plowed early got their crops in on time, with the work well done and the ground all occupied. A horse is paid whether it works or not. The pay is included in the interest on its Value, the amount of depreciation and the cost of feed aud care. This expenditure goes on daily whether the horse is idle in the pasture or doing productive work. Whenever a farmer looks out over his pasture and sees some of his horses idle there, he should ask himself why he does not have them at work. In these days of high-priced feed it pays to keep only horses able to do a full day's work day after day. Economy demands further that the work must be planned so as to keep them employed as steadily as possible. Then it is not necessary to keep so many horses.���Breeders' Gazette.

Keeping Watch on Food Prices Tin: government is keeping a close and consistent watch ou the food prices 'throughout Canada and is in receipt of regular reports showing the fluctuations. Generally speaking, there were naturally advances in the price of numerous commodities, but there have been some cases where the rise bas not beeu of a profitable character. Since the government vested itself with wide authority to deal with any attempts at extortion, prices in certain lines and places have declined somewhat. If there is any delermiend move to unduly enhance tbe price of the necessities of life, the situation will be dealt with promptly and effectively. So far, however, the necessity for rigid action bas not arisen. How We Go to Sleep Sleep begins i.i its first phase by a state of distraction, which brings on states of absentmindednoss, accompanied always by numerous and separate hallucinations, closely connected with the length of the absontminded states. Immediately afterwards, in a second phase, these states of distraction pass into a very delicate motor disturbance, due to tbe absence of parallelism in the axes of thu eyes or liy the deviation of their conjugate movements, snys the Family Doctor. Finally, in a third and final phase, whicli indicates tho very near approach of actual sleep, the vasomotor system seems to conform to laws very different from those that regulate its mechanism during waking hours.

"On tlie big railroads there are no two punches that have marks designed alike, and tlio interstate commerce commission liy examining the punch mark can trace the ticket punched to tlie conductor, train and road upon which the ticket was given. To get u punch a conductor has to sign seven papers before it is deliv ered tu him.

We knew, however, that . ranco stood r -.dy for the invasion. France comd wail but we colli 1 not wait. A French ovement upon our (lank upon the lower Rhine might have been disastrous.

Anybudy who Is threatened, i . we are threatened, and Is lighting for hiB highest possessions can have only one thought���how lit is to hack his way through." The end justifies the means. Jieti threatened, as the Germans affected to suppose themsel.es threatened, could think of nothing but how "to hack their way through"���to hack their way through, as they have been hacking it bifore Liege, without a thought for the seas of innocent blood they are shedding in the quarrel Which the German chancellor himself croclatms to be unjust, observers of German policy and students of Prussian history have long known that these principles were cherished by the heirs of the Fredericiivi tradition They have scpn them Inculcated and held up to admiration ln the works of eminent professors and of distinguished military writers. They are familiar with them in the essays and speeches of the naval league and in the articles of the Pan-German press. Thjy have hehel.'. tho partial application o.' the doctrine at Algeciras, at. Agadir, and en innumerable lesser occasions. They have expected for years to see them adopted in some grand adventure. But they did not expect to hear Herr Von Bet'hmann Hollweg openly preach the creed of Machiavelll in its utmost repulsive shape to the elected represcn- tilives of tlie nation which boasts its high culture and Its lofty ideals to mankind. . It is not the outrages on all rights whicli the Prasco-Germans have committed that surprise students of their past; it is the ignorance and tha stupidity with which they have set about these outrrges. In every quarter���in Russia, ln Italy, In France, in Belgium, and above all in tlie British empire���they have displayed an incapacity to appreciate facts which were, perfectly obvious, and which it wns vital for' theni to grasp, that is amazing. If we are to believe them, they gave Austria-Hungary a free hand in her dealings with Servia. They were startled and shocked when l_ey saw in the Austro-Hungarian note the lirst result of the unac customed liberty tbey. liad allowed their ally. Nevertheless, they justified and supported her demands with out realizing at lirst. that they were jeopardizing the peace of Europe. They thought that everybody was unready except Germany. They forgot the strength of Russian Pan-Slav and Pan-Orthodox passion. Russia had no right to intervene, and the German ambassador at Vienna doubted if she would try. Neither she nor France was ready, while Germany "know very well what she was about." They ban no eyes save for whnt was superficial.

When a lieutenant ou 11..M.S. Monarch, a Glasgow steamer stranded oft Europu Point, on the Spanish Coast, about llireo miles from Gibraltar. The Monarch had left Gibraltar fur target practice and had left all lier boats but one small one behind. Seeing the almost hopeless position of the Tuttriokdale's crew, the commander of the battleship called for vol unteers, and Lieutenant Jellicoe and i even seamen got into the small boat and pulled for all they wore worth. The boat could not live In the heavy seas, however, and before they could reach the wreck it capsized. Fortunately each man liad donned a cork Jacket before starting, and after a terrible struggle in tho waves all of them were washed ashore more dead than alive. The crew of the stranded ship was rescued by a Spanish fishing boat, and tbe British board of trado distributed rewards, Lieutenant Jellicoe receiving a medal, which he was destined to lose. He was commander of M.ll.S. Victoria when she was-rainmed in 1893 by Uie Camperdown. At the time of the disaster, Commander Jellicoe was down with a sharp attack of fever. Startled hy the terrific, crash as the two great ships came together, the invalid struggled from his bunk and staggered up on deck, clad only in pyjamas. Commander Jellicoe stood on the bridge, the flags in his hands ready for signals, when suddenly, with a wild plunge, the enormous vessel buried her bow beneath the surface of the sea. Most of those on deck were thrown into the sea, and then followed.a scene that those who saw it would willingly forget. The Victoria's keel was high in tlie air, her twin-sere* propellers racing madly. Gradually as the vessel sank, tlie screws came down lower and lower towards the mass of men struggling in the water. At last the great steel flanges, still whirling, sank into the waves, and several hundred men were literally torn to J....C8 in the maelstrom. Commander Jellicoe was too wea.: with fever to do much to save himself, and had it not been for a young midshipman, who helped him to struggle away from the sinking ship, it is unlikely that he would have been amongst the survivors. His board of trade medal went down with the rest of his property, and when he applied for a duplicate the hoard informed him that he would have to pay for it. Admiral Jellicoe accompanied Admiral Seymour on his march to relieve the Legations at Pekin during the Boxer rebellion. Surrounded on all hands, tlie allied troops decided to retreat to Tientsin. On tlie way they sighted a large body of cavalry, and, mistaking they stood out in tho open and signalled They found out tlieir mista e when the cavalry opened lire. ln the melee tha! followed Captain e'.licoe, charging at the head of his m-m, was shot through the lung. His wound was dangerous eonugh, but it ,.ws made much worse by the next five days' retreat to Tienstln, liar assed by the enemy most of the time. But even from this, perhaps tlie narrowest of his escapes, the Admiral managed to pull through and lived to command the empire's greatest lleet In the greatest war in history.

It has tlie largest wireless telegraphic station In the whole world, and afforded the means of keeping tlig German fleet in Atlantic waters in touch with the home offices, and With other colonies. And the foreign commerce of its 1,500,000 inhabitants is Important, exports amounting to over $2,000,000 per annum, and Imports to about J2.500.00-, Cotton is being grown with very promising results, and altogether its possession will comfortably round out our Gold Coast colony, which has been Incommoded many times liy its troublesome neighbors. Under British rule its trade importance will speedily increase, and the arilway system, already inaugurated, will no doubt bo continued throughout the great agricultural districts, as yet mostly undeveloped. German Southwest Africa caused a -villi rush of speculation in Germany in 1909, and brought on something like a panic, when the discovery of diamonds was found to. he of les importance than had been hoped for.

The Outlook in Western Canada The whole world is looking to the North America Continent for much of its food supplies, as well as many lines of manufactured goods. In the vast grain producing areas of Western Canada is our source of wealth. Our farmers are now receiving war prices for their grains, and next year they will likely be getting famine prices. Here is the bread basket of the British Empire. We must prepare to meet the demand that will be made upon us. There will be tremendous opportunities for development of all lines of trade. It we are only alive to the possibilites that are now being presented, we will soon see a new era of prosperity in this Western Country. This is the time to cultivate a spirit of hopefulness and confidence Prefent Type of Submarine Bomb Was Perfected by the Italians���Two Types of Contact Mines Are 111 Use. Xhc submarine mine a playtn a large purl lu the present European conflict, Probably it will cause moro havoc that in the Japanese-Russian war.

However, the kaiser's mine- layer already bud sown tic seed ut disaster, and -he North Sen may see us many ships hit below the water line as were sunk hy mines in the Y llow sen iu ihe Japanese-Russian s uggle. This may seei barbarous, for there was a day when the submarine mine was abhorred, as Robert Fulton fuuud nut early in thn nineteenth century when be sniight to interest the British Admiralty In this manner uf annihilating the most formidable of Heels. Since then the susceptibilities of civilized nations have undergone a change and the- submarine mine If now an accepted engine of destrn. lion. England alone is said to have 20,' O11O nf these mines ready for service. Hut in military logic, there is a rational excuse for the sowing of contact mines In the open sea.

Just as t\ 0 neighboring states upon a river have their boundaries iu ihe 1 intre of lhe stream.

Ther - lure if the enemy can bombard coast epics from the great, distance out at sea, why should it no. he permissuhle tn mine Hie open waters that rar oft the C-BBt? The Germans are not new at. this form o'f coast defence, and tu this war they are but. profiting by post experience) The ��� toral effect of submarine mines was amply demonstrated in tlie Franco-Prussian war ot 1ST). ' 1.en the Prussians defended t;i_lr principal harbors in ihe North S**. ' the Baltic by means of mechanical nud electro-mechanical mines. The ' aiser's ov-n people were the lirst to reap the fruit 0 their own planting. On raising their tuin_ Held after the war ot 1870, the Cermane lost a great many lives through unexpected expu, ..ons. The present type ot su' marir.e I mib was perfected hy the Italians. Ti, ire are two types ot contact mines, lliose that explode when struck and those that explode unly when an electric current is switched en from lie shore. Thss latter miur: are only for harbor defence. They are harmless so lour as there is no current, but become active when Hie ehctriclty is turned on. Thus these mines are a menace to hostile ships, but oftcr no danger to peace! li ssels. Tho mines being planted now in the North Sea are obviously not of the latter type. They are in the open sea, too .'ar from any base of operations to be controlled. They aro there ready for action, and unfortunately they have do power of discrimination. They will go off under a friendly ship just as quickly as under the vessel of an enemy. To make theso bombs safe for handling by the planting ships, they are so constructed that they do not become "alive" or active until they have been iu the water for half an hour. A few days before Ills death Daniel Webster wished to leave his sickroom once more to loo;; upon the little paradise whicli his taste had adorned about his mansion. Dressing himself with tlie utmost care, he went through the house on the arm of a servant an 1 finally reached the Ubrar;-. The night before there was a terrific storm and the great statesmen 1 expressed solicitude for the safety of the fishermen off the coast. As he looked from the window his eye fell upon a number of pleasure boats whicli had been moored (0 a little mound in tlie art!- uclal pond in the rear of the house. "Well," said lie, "tlie home squadron i- tafe. I think I will go back.' Tt was liis last playful remark. He never b ft his room again. Women and War "It is significant that in all of these countries which have declared war, women have not yet been enfranchised. To be sure, if they had the vote, they could not stop war all at once, hut they would in time, in many nations, as in England, when there are a million more women than men, the chief argument against 'Votes for Women' is that they would tend to weaken military prowess! "Women have long since passed that stage where they considered it a glorious tiling to bring sons into the world that they might grow up to sacrifice tlieir lire for the'r country in warfare. However you put it, war . iglis more heavily on the women."

There was considerable difficulty in securing a chairman, both Dr. Millard and Colin Campbell declining Finally Mr. Fechner consented, and in answer to a question, said he was responsible for getting the notices out. He then called upon Mr. McPhee for some remarks. Mr. McPhee said he had nothing to say, he was satisfied with incorporation. After another period of waiting during which none of the promoters of the meeting had anything to say. Mr. Mclntyre moved that the meeting adjourn, which was promptly seconded. Dr, Millard said that as there were so many electors gathered together, they might turn the meeting into a discussion for. some way to profit the city, but no one would wait. The farmers of the valley held-a meeting in the Board of Trade rooms last Saturday week, to discuss the advisability of bringing a number of dairy cows into the valley. This seems to us to be a good scheme. In any rural district wherever the dairy industry flourishes the farmers are always prosperous and contented. The same should apply here. There's an unlimited market for all the milk that can be produced in the valley, right here in Courtenay. A number of the farmers cannot handle any more cows, but at the meeting it was found that ten more cows could be taken. Then there are a number of idle ranches where a lot of cows could be put on if proper arrangements were made. The question of financing the proposition has been solved, and it is now up to the farmers themselves to decide at the . eeting Saturday afternoon what they will do.

SIKHS WROUGHT TERRIBLE HAVOC Northwestern France, Oct. 27:��� Lust week the Germans gained the shortest victory of the war to date. In the neighbourhood of Lille they massed strong forces behind a slight elevation aud suddenly poured iuto nearby British trenches an irresistible fire. Despite a rain of fire from heavy guns, maxims aud rifles, their huge oolumns, by sheer weight ot numbers, reached the trenches aud turned onr fellows out, The Germans followed up their advantage, pursuing the "Tommies" and cheering and singing as they came. All went well until tne/ met the British reservists, who happened to be Indian troops. For a moment there was a wild scrimmage. The Sikhs and Ghurkas gave the enemy a few rounds in rapid succession and then swung into them with the utmost fervor. Back past our deserted trenches and through the German line of trenches went the gray coated Tuetons, while Sikh and Ghurka played havoc in their disordered ranks. Never has there been any such slaughter on any field. Twenty thousand dead and wounded Germans, nearly half of the attacking force, lav along their line of retreat, according to the computation of a staff officer. Our losses did not rxceed two thousand. At Ypres an unsuccessful attack resulted in casualities of 3,000. At La Basee they are apparently doing somewhat better. Their masses of infantry with heavy artillery seem! at present to be slowly advanding inlthis region. Their progress is by no means alarming and can be firmly held should it become dangerous. The heavy punishment inflicted upou the German troops in the last few days .as raised the hopes of everyone to a high point. An officer who flew over the enemy's lines this morning says that the Germans now advance to the attack shouting like Dervishes. The British are unpreturbed by this noisy demonstration and and wait until they come within a few hundred yards range and then give them fifteen rounds, and then it was all over, but the German artillery fire is still very good, The Germans sent a quarter of a million men against the British formation at Ypres for four days. They were defeated, and all that were not killed were chased 15 miles. The rebels in South Africa under Gen, Beyers, have been severely defeated by Gen. Botha. The Germans admit defeat in Poland, according to an official announcement issued in Berlin yesterday. A Paris despatch yesterday, says the Allies have had real success along the line from Nieuport to Dexmude, and in the neighborhood of Lille. Twice the number of men required for the second contingent have offered themselves at Toronto Ontario. 230 officers have offered and but 70 are required.

Conservation of Food Supplies Kilwood, Hie American sociologist, bus declared thai "tlio doubling of the price of bread in uny civilized country would lie ii far greater calamity than a rent war " Sven a slight rise in tlie price of foodstuffs brings lurge numbers in the industrial nations to the verge of famine. The world is now in the throes of the one calamity���war; it is devoutly to be hoped that tlie second���the doubling of the pri .; of bread, may be avoided. Conservation of the world's food supplies is now more than ever an absolute necessity. And again let it lie said thnt conservation means a careful utilizing, not merely selfish hoarding, it stands for prin ciples which are the antithesis of those that are usually adhered to during a state of war. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR Outline ot the Ideals and Methods of the Movements, by William Shaw, LL D. The fundamental difference between tlie Ideals and methods of tho Christian Endeavor movement and those of tlie organizations that had preceded it was in tbo emphasis placed upon tha element of religious obligation, and lho definite character of its com: mlttoe work. It made duty its keynote, not feeling or iiinuseinent. The prayer-meeting wns its heart, with the spiritual dynamic to inspire and energize all its Individual and committee activities. Before the famous aphorism of tho psychologist, "No impression without expression," liad been applied to religion, the young people's movement had demonstrated It, Tho society became the manual training school of Ihe church, where lhe young disciples learned bow to speak by speaking, and hnw In work by working. ll is safe to Bay thai il has largely helped to transform lhe attitude of the ohuroh toward tlio young disciples. Tbe church now Hint is not actively Interested In the training of Its young people is a curiosity. II has ulso changed tlie attitude of the young people toward the church. No lunger do they hold aloof and camp on the outer edge ;they nro in Hie heart of things. it bus broadened their conception of the religious life, and Instead of placing tb emphasis upon being saved, tlieir motto is, "Saved In servo." It bus placed the young people at tlie front, in all movements for temperance, civic righteousness und moral reform and to their leadership was largely due the nation-wide Interest In such campaigns as tlie "Go-to-Church- Sunday," and the "Salounless Nation by 1920." It lias given to the young people a now vision of the churches' obligation to obey the great commission, "Co yo into all lhe world," and tlio initial plans for the great and successful educational campaign for missions, carried ou by the Young People's Interdenominational Missionary Movement, now the Missionary Education Movement, were prepared by Amos R. Wells and Earl Taylor, leaders in Christian Endeavor and tbo Epwortb League; and tlie young people's societies have also furnished the Held and the force to carry out these plans. The best available statistics would indicate an enrollment of approximately 11,000 young people's societies and 4,000,000 members in North America. The societies are organized upon tlie broadest possible basis of service, and engage in an infinite variety of ac- tivies. These might be grouped as follows: The Prayer Meeting, with its training in expression of religious truth and experience, and cultivation of the devotional spirit. The Quiet Hour and Morning Watch, for Hie deepening of tho personal religious life. The Study Classes, for missions, the Bible, civics, church doctrine, personal work, etc. Heading Courses, christian Culture Courses, and literary evenings for the broadening of the intellectual life. The Social Work, for the promotion ot real recreation. The Departments and Committees, \,' li tlieir definite training. Unions and Conventions, with tlieir practical training in co-operative effort. Christian Citizenship, with its emphasis upon temperance, civic righteousness and world-peace, giving to our future citizens a knowledge of public affairs and training in social service, enlisting them in all legitimate ways for the election of good and efficient office holders, for the observance of existing laws, for tlie adoption of improved laws, for the improvement of tlio conditions of labor, and the rational use of the Lord's Day for rest aud worship; the opening of robms for reading and recreation, the establishment of gymnasims and athletic fields, the promotion of clubs for the special study of town and municipal conditions, with addresses by the heads of departments. Boys' Clubs or groups under the leadership of lho virile young men to lead tlio boys in their s;>orts and athletics, and by the contagion of character to give theni a vision of Hie larger life of Christian service. High School Societies, and organizations in preparatory schools and colleges. Prison Work, by and for our "brothers in bonds," in jails, penitentiaries, I ri. mis and prison camps. Floating Societies, for the men on ships und in seamen's missions on shore. Soldiers' Societies, In camps and l.osts. Evangelistic Work, in Hie society, cottage prayer-meeting, and in city missions, Fresh-Air Work, in seaside homes and fresh air camps. immigrant Work, teaching these brothers of ours from across the sea our language, and at the same time, imparting to them the spirit of Christian brotherhood. Hospital Work, and work in other public institutions. Missions, at home and abroad. The vision received that calls for the con- secreation of money and manhood. In short, anything and everything that the church ought to do should be included in the plan l'or the young people's society that they "found them- leaders for the church of the future It Is difficult for au organization whose mission it to train workers for other anil more specialised forms of work to report spooiiio achievements, uud doubly difficult to do so without appearing to claim credit for results . large part, of which belong I to other organizations, Hut, acting as a reporter simply, may t puss on what bus boon reported to me?

As never before men uro going Into partnership with Cod, uiul Hie Christian Endeavor Tenth Legion alone lias enrolled '22,- 000 young people alone, accept inf. the principle of Christian stewardship, have made the tenth the minimum gift for religious work. Thirty years ago religion and politics did not mix, Today religion is the best asset a politician ean have, and the Sermon on the Alotint is being translated into our social and labor legislation. Thirty years ago the emphasis in religious work was upon individual salvation and heaven was the goal. Today the empsasis is upon the salvation of the other man, and service is the reward. Thirty years ago the old sheep wero in the fold, and lhe lambs.were largely outside, waiting for an experience. Today it is the little chid that is in the centre of tlio church's thought and effort, "for of such is the kingdom of heaven.'.' Wo are endeavoring to got religion down out of the louds of speculation, intellectual hair-splitting, and sentimental emotionalism that exhausts itself in feeling, into real life, that it may stand for a clear and abiding faith in God through Jesus Christ, and a loving, brotherly ministry and fellowship with men.

To Preserve Eggs Preserve only absolutely tresU eggs: stale eggs will not keep in any preservative. Have your preservative ready to receive the fresh eggs as you get them, If you nre in doubt as to Che freshness of the eggs, candle tbem, or sec whether tbey sink when placed in a dish of fresh v...ter. If an egg sinks, it. is reasonably fresh. )o not preserve dirty eggs or ogge that have been washed. Washed eggs will not keep because the shell has been moistened; and dirty eggl will become tainted in flavor. Do not use the same liquid pr* servttive mote than one year. i Infertile eggs are better than fe_- tile eggs for preserving, itinse the eggs witli water i Iter r* moving theni from lhe preservative Eggs Hint are in good, condition when removed from water glass solution will usually remain good for two weeks.

The pores of tbe shell have beon sealed by the water glass solution, and without lhe pinholt the expanding uir within the shell would burst it.

War Duty on Coffee Tlie new Canadian tariff makes a considerable addition to the duty upon, and the consequent cost of coffee. In Great Britain tea is the favorite war tax bearer, though sugar has generally liad to bear a share of tlie burden. The berry is really a luxury and might well be taxed, along with tobacco, spirituous and malt liquors. In fact, the custom of coffee-drink- ins is relatively recent among the peoples of Europe and their descend- atns lu America. For a long time after it made its way west from Arabia and Turkey coffee was under, tlie ban of the church, It was not until 1052 that the lirst house that made a specialty of serving coffee was opened in London: a little later it was introduced into Franco. Thence the practice lias spread until the amount now consumed the world over is enormous. At first coffee camo only from Northern Africa, Arabia and Turkey; then the Dutch began experimenting, and succeeded in cultivating it in Java, and tlie French in the West Indies. The story goes that in 17611 a Portuguese, Joao Alberta Castello Bran- co, planted a bush in Dio de Janeiro. Thanks to the pecitlarity favorable soil and climate, Brazil soon outstripped all other lands in the production of coffee. The uplands of the state of Soa Paulo produce more than half of all the enormous amount of coffee that is consumed iu the world today. There are between 15,000 and 20,000 plantations, employing hundreds of thousands of laborers, and some ot the plantations are so vast that they grow millions of trees. No more beautiful sight could be imagined than one of these plantations in full bloom. The flowers are white and grow in clusters, and the air is fragrant witli their perfume. Brazil has a "valorization" scheme which artificially keeps up the price of coffee. Hence if that country wishes to meet tlie war tax and keep up the use of the product, it can easily do so through its scheme, which is already taxing us all for the sake of tlie South American republic. iiioiiii lulus in tho magnificent scenery ol Argyllshire, The bod of the loch wan once, il is suid, a fertile valley, with a nines, fairy spring, which had always to bo (luards j kepi covered, bubbling from the moun tr.lll side.

U. 1020 Pure Blood Can Best be Obtained Through Dr. Williams' Pink Pills if people would realize tho importance of keeping tho blood rich uud pure there would be less sickness. The blood is tha means through whicli the nourishment gained from food roaches the different parts of the body. If the blood is impure the nourishment that reaches the nerves, bone and muscle is tainted with poison and disease follows. The blood is also tho mod ium by which the body lights off disease. If the blood is thin and watery this j- wer of reslstenco to disease is weakened. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills build up the blood. They increase the ..bility of the body to resist disease. They strengthen the nerves, increase the appetite, cure headache, backache, and any disease caused by thin or impure blood. If you aro suffering and your blood Is thin or impure there is a large probability that your condition is caused by the condition of your blood. You should study your own case. 11 you lack ambition, are short of breath after slight exercise, are pale or sallow, ha-'e no appetite, are not refreshed by sleep, if you have backache or headache, rheumatic pains or stomach trouble, the treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People is wortli investigating. You can get these Pills through any medicine dealer or direct by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Rallying Round the Old Flag Ono of the happiest and most inspiring features of the war is the splendid nud spontaneous rally of tho whole empire to lliii side of the Motherland. The self-governing Dominions, the Crown Colonies, und the groat dependency of Jndla are all alike animated by but one spirit. All alike realized that this is a, lit'e-anil- doatii rtruggle not only for Great, Britain but also for Greater Britain and all British ideas of liberty and justice, that. It concerns them as directly as -it concerns us, and that the empire and all Its competent parts must either survive it. or perish. All, too, are fired with a single determination that the empire shall survive It and shall not perish. We have reported from day to day tbo onrush of this tidal wave of patriotic enthusiasm through all th realms over whieb the Union Jack flies.

Again British Territory Lovers of literature have the consolation of knowing that the remains of the greatest modern romantic novelist, Robert Louis Stevenson, sleep once more on British soil. Samoa was British territory when he was laid to rest on Mount Apia. It was sold to Germany afterward, and the fortunes of war have restored it to the Empire that gaye birth to Tusitala. What the War Costs Holland That neutral nations are not unaffected by the war is seen in the case of the little Kingdom of Holland. She has become a clearinghouse for telegrams and letters which cannot pass direct from England to Germany, and a common meeting ground for German or Belgian soldiers flying from enemies. A "consecration camp" has been formed at Alkmaar, and holds men from both armies. The possibility of an explosion occuring which might lead to international complications has compelled Holland to mobolize her army of 400,- 000 men, and all over Holland men and women are being turned out of doors and their homes pulled down because they happened to interfere with the range of the guns of the forts. At all costs Holland is determined to preserve her independence, and it is said that her people never grumble at the sacrifices they are called upon to make, and as in the long ago they are ready even to summon their old ally, the sea, to help them maintain their freedom. Evidently the old Dutch spirit is still alive in these sturdy sons of the men who won immortal fame by their bold defiance of the Spanish power when it was at the height of its glory, and whom Spain could not cow 1 or subdue, Good Morning!
