A NEW PRIVILEGE.
---
PIANISM Munster Announces that all
Victory Hoods May be Registered.
Thr following announcement has been
made (ram Ottawa; The Finance Min-
ister of Canada hes issued a new instruc-
ttottrm confection with the Victory bonds,
which will be of much benefit and import-
ance ty many small investors. He has
decided to grant the privilege of the re-
gistration of all bonds, that is to say,
that bonds of all denominations, including
the $50 bond. may be registered as to
principal and as to principal and interest.
In previous loans the rpriivilege of reg-
istration was neceesarily confined t0
bonds of the larger denomination, such as
$1,000 bonds or more. Bonds of lower
denominations were issued as bearer
bonds, with coupons attached, and while
carrying equal benefits as to principal and
nterest were liable to being loot by the
$owners- Under the privlrge now given
1 by the Finalise Minister. the
I buyer of any band ( whatever the denom-
I Minion), may have it registered, in which
case the interest will be paid by cheque,
and the bond. if last, may be replaced
after proper evidence has been shown.
I It is believed that this privilege will be
greatly appreciated by many thousands
of small investors, who will thus • be as-
sured of the absolute safety of their in-
, vestment even against fire or carelessness
or any other accidental cause of loss.
This improvement in the issue will involve
extra work upon the Departrnen. of Fi-
nance, but Sir Thomas White considers
that its benefits will more than offset the

How to Feel Well During Middle
Life Told by Three Women Who
Learned from Experience.
The Change of Life is a most critical period of a
woman's ekistence, and neglect of health at this time invites
disease and pain. Women everywhere should remember
that there is no other remedy known to medicine that will
so successfully carry women through this trying period as
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from
native roots and herbs. Read these Ietters:-
Philadelphia, Pa. -"I started the Change of Lite
five years ago. I always hail a headache and back-
ache with bearing down pains and I would have
heat fiashea very bad at times with dizzy shells and
nervous feelings. After taking Lydia E. Hnkhatu's

am in better health and no more troubled with
the aches and pains I had before I took your won-
derful remedy. I recommend it to my fnends for I
cannot praise it enough." -Mrs. 11AROARrr GRAM -
MAN, 759 N. Ringgold SG, Philadelphia, Pa.
Beverly, Mass.-" I took Ly(lia E. Flnkham's
Vegetable Compound, for nervousness and dyspepsia, when I was
going through the Change, of Life. I found it very )lelptul and I
have always spoken of it to other women who suffer as I did and
have had them try it and they also have received
good results from it."- Mrs. Gsoaos A. Dtlxuia,
17 Roundy St, Beverly, Mass.
Erie, Pa. --"I was in poor health when the
Change of Lits started with me and I took Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, or, I think I
should not have got over it as easy as I did. Even
now if I do not feel good I take the (bmpotiftd
and h restores me in a short time. I will praise
your remedies to every woman for it may help
them as it has me." -Mrs. E. KtsaLDNo, 031 East
24th St, Erie, Pa.
No other medicine has been so saooessful in relieving woman's
suffering as has Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound.
Women may receive free and helpful advice by writing the Lydia
E. Plnkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass. Such letters are received
and answered by women only and held in strict confidences
made on militia forms, which may be ob-
tained by applying to the A. A. G.
3. Holders of Canadian Patriotic
Fund war badges for "Service at the
Front" will be required to make applica-
tion (or the registration of their badge
for the purpose of receiving a certificate
authorizing its wear. Thu application
will be made on militia form obtained on
application. .
4. A badge was at one time issued by
the Canadian Patriotic Fund to men who
had proceeded to England only and who
had been returned to Canada for dis-
charge without having been actually at
the front. This badge is not now auth-
orized and 'must not be worn. Holders
must apply on militia hem (or class "[i•'
War Service Badge.
5. -Four classes of war service badges
will be issued. as follows:
A. Those having enlisted in the
C. E. F. and have seen service at the
front in the present war and have been
honorably discharged or have been re-
tained in Canada on duty.
B. Those having enlisted in the
C. E. F. and have seen service in Eng-
