When girls grow weak, pale and
miserable, then is the time for par-
ents to take prompt steps. Delay
means danger—perhaps consumption,
The girl in her teens cannot develop
into a happy, robust woman without
an abundant supply of rich, red blood
in her veins. It is the lack of this
good;blood that is the great trouble
with nine girls out of every ten,(
They grow weak and depressed; lose
their appetite, are breathless after

headaches and backaches, When'.
girls are in this condition there is no
medicine can compare with Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills. In the use of these
Pills there is splendid vigorous
health, with glowing cheeks and
sparkling eyes, for every unhappy
fragile girl who is struggling on to
womanhood in a wretched state of
health. This is why thousands of
girls and women, now robust and at-
tractive, are constantly recommend-
ing Dr, Williams' Pink Pills to theirs
suffering sex. Miss Edith Brousseau,
Savona, B.C., says; "At the age of',.
fourteen I became very anaemic. I
Was as pale as a ghost, suffered from
headaches, severe palpitation of the
heart at the slightest exertion, I had
little or no appetite, and seemed to
be drifting into a decline. I was at-
tending high school in Vancouver at
the time, and the doctor advised the
to stop. I did so and took his treat-
ment for some time, but it did not
help me in the least. Upon the ad-
vice of a friend I began taking Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, and in a very
short time they gave me back com-
plete health and enabled me to re-
sume my studies. I have enjoyed the
best of health since, and owe it all to
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,"
These Pills are sold by all medicine
dealers or may be had by mail, post
paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes

THE GERMANS
TORTURED A SCOUT
CUT ONE EAR OFF WITH HOS-
PITAL SCISSORS.
Heard and Recorded by the Famous
Correspondent, H, Hamilton
Fyfe.
When we came into the hospital
ward a throng of soldiers in dressing -
gowns was gathered round a bed on
which sat a pleasant -faced fellow
with his head in bandages telling
them a story. They fell away with
courteous movement to give us room.
We saw that the pleasant face and
the bandaged head belonged to a
young man, who looked older, the
Russian peasant Corporal Porfiro
Panasuk, who as long as he lives will
bear marks of torture and will bear
witness alsoto the savagery with
which Germans wage war.
When I read the first account of it
I said, although it apeared in an offi-
cial despatch, "It is incredible." It
was hard to believe that a group of
ten officers could have consented to
the deliberate, cold-blooded torture of
a brave soldier who, true to his duty,
refused to betray information about
the Russian positions. Not until I
had seen and talked to their victim
was I completely convinced.
Since the beginning of the war
Panasuk has been employed as a
scout. He speaks Polish like a Pole,
though he is a Russian. Disguised
as a peasant, he has been frequently
within the German lines, and has sel-
dom failed, I am told, to bring back
useful information. .
The Germans when they caught
Panasuk might have accepted his dis-
guise as genuine and hanged him as
a spy if they had any evidence that
ae had been spying. Civilian spies
`are liable to be hanged. But they
knew he was a soldier. He was re-
cognized as the man who had so often
tricked them.
I have told in telegrams what hap-
pened after this brave fellow fell in-
to the hands of an enemy patrol near
the East Prussian frontier. He was
deep in the German lines. His cap-
tors took him to the nearest staff
headquarters. •
"I was offered cigarettes, but I said
I did not smoke,"he told us. "They
asked me if I would like a cup . of
coffee. I said I did not need it. Then
they said that. if. I liked I could be a
rich man and have my own land.
They would give me money if; I would
tell. all I' knew about the Russian
forces and positions. I told them I
knew nothing. Then the officer who
was speaking to ' me became, angry.
Re took `me into a ram where nine
other -officers were.
Cut Ear. Off.
"They said that if I did not give -
them' the information they .'would ,silt
off my ears 'and nose, then hang me
up head downwards:',
"I repeated that I could not tell
them 'anything because I had nothing
to tell, though I could have told 'them
a great deal. Then they sent for a
pair of scissors such as • are used, in
hospitals, anti, after threatening. me

as a rule, than British vossols,
again, one of them cut off the soft
part of my ear (the lobe). It bled
all down my neck. Then, after a
time, the same officer cut off another
Piece around the edge of my ear. He
did this several times. Re also struck
me in the face with his fist. He broke
my nose across, the bridge, which
makes it stick out still. _ He hit me on
the jaw and swore at me,
"At last they said I was to be lock-
ed up until the morning. They, sent
me with a sergeant and two men, I
felt that my chance to escape had
come, I struck out at tho two men.
The sergeant was behind. I ran,
scrambled over a fence, and found
myself in the fields, Shots were!
fired, but it was too dark for them
to see me. I ran on until I could run
no more. Then I hid in a deep hole.
"I stayed there for a long time—all
the next day I think. Then I went on
towards where I knew the Russian
lines must be. It took me four days
to reach them. They gave me this
medal and sent rue to the headquar-
ters of the Grand Duke Nicholas,
commander-in-chief. He gave me an-
other medal." Here he parted his
hair to show us a long scar. "My
ear, too?" he asked. "Yes, if the sis-
ter allows." The sister herself un-
wound the bandage. I saw the muti-
lated ear. It was cut just as he had
described, "It is healing now," she
said.
"Yes; it does not pain me much
now," Panasuk added. "I can't hear
very well with that ear, but I have
the other. It might have been,
worse."
Yes, it might have been worse for
him, poor fellow. If he had not es-
caped he would surely have been
hanged or shot next day. The ruf-
fiians had no idea of letting the tale
of their infamy be told. How many
more cases of torture there have been
we shall never know.
SAFETY IN TRAVELLING.
The all -steel colonist cars built by
the C.P.R. fill the bill to a nicety. On
the long journey to the West, these
cars have to be eating and sleeping
and living rooms combined. They
must have cooking conveniences, for,
one thing and there is always more
or less danger when several people
are using the stove that accidents
may happen. ' For that reason alone
the all -steel car comes in handy, as
there is absolutely nothing to burn.
Well, there are the cushions on the
steel seats; but they could not do
much harm even if they did take fire.
The seats, floor, roof, sides—every bit
of the car—is of steel. The fire stoves
are fixed to steel frames. Every de-
tail has been carefully thought out.
The cars fill a much -felt want, being,
as they are, roomy, comfortable and
safe, while for three or five days the
life is lived as it would be in a per-
manent residence with hardly an os-
cillation to remind one that the cars
are on the rails, and that they are
running at the . rate of , 40 miles an
hour.
Ought to be Glad.
Old as the hills was the subject of
their quarrel. She had been spend -1
ing more money than he thought she
ought to.
"Did you spend as much as this be-
fore you married me?" asked the
young husband, in the thick of the
fight.
"Certainly I' did," replied his wife,
drawing herself up coldly. "Father"
"Then I'm blest," interrupted her
husband—"I'm blest if I know why

Many Titled Financiers in Britain are
Also Germans Naturalized and
Otherwise,
The public rage in Great Britain',
againstlPrince Louis of Battenberg
and Prince Christian of Schleswig
Holstein, because of their German
birth, touches very close to the,
throne, In addition there are the
Duchess of Albany and the Duchess
of Connaught, also members of the
King's immediate family, who are of
German blood, as well as the wife of
ex -King Manuel of Portugal, a Ho-
henzollern princess, who has become
an intimate friend of the King and
Queen since she came to London as a
bride a year and a half ago.
Prince Louis of Battenberg, since
his resignation as First Sea Lord,.
has spent most of his time out of
London. Princess Louis of Batten -
berg is the eldest sister of the Czar-
ina of Russia and the Grand Duchess
Serge, but these connections with Bri-
tain's ally do not offset the fact, as
far as the English people are concern-
ed, that she is also the sister of Prin-
cess Henry of Prussia, and of the
Grand Duke of Hesse, an officer in
the German army.
Prince Christian of Schleswig-Hol-
stein has been a naturalized British
subject for .thirty-nine years, but he
has remained very German in his
mode of life, which is now unbear-
ably offensive to his former friends
in England, besides which his only
living son is an officer in a Prussian
regiment. The eldest son gave his
life to Great Britain in the Boer War,
but the younger son, Prince Albert,
the heir to the Duke of Schleswig-
Holstein, the German 'Empress's bro-
ther, threw in his fortunes with his
father's native country, although
Prince Albert was himself born in
England. His sisters, Princess Vic-
toria and Princess Marie Louise of
Schleswig-Holstein, have been indefa-
tigable in working for the British sol-
diers.
A Disloyal Prince.
The Duchess of Albany, who was
Princess Helen of Waldeck-Pyrmont,
a small principality under the admin-
istration of Prussia, is the widow of
Queen Victoria's youngest son. Her
only son, Duke of Albany in Britain,
is the reigning Duke of Saxe-Coburk-
Gotha, relinquishing the British title
for the more important one of a Ger-
man sovereign. He, too, is fighting
for Germany, and his mother's posi-
tion in England has not been made
more comfortable by his outspoken
desire to see Great Britain defeated.
The Duchess of Albany draws an an-
nuity from the taxpayers of Britain
of 30,000 a year, which is anything'
but pleasant to them just now.
The Duchess of Connaught, a Ho-
henzollern princess, and first cousin
to the Emperor William, is the sister
of Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern,
who married the sister of the Em-
press.
Sir Ernest Cassel, King Edward's
banker, who alleviated all the King's
multitudinous financial difficulties, is
only' one among several German born
bankers in London who are being at-
tacked..
Baron Bruno Scroeder, whose title
is German and who has a son in the
German army, became a British sub
ject after war was declared 'last ` Au-
gust, as well as his banking partner,
Julius Ritterhaussen.

A Wise Precaution.
Very few people are ambidextrous;.
that is, able to use the left hand
as readily and skillfully as the right.
But there is an amusing story of one
Irishman who was careful to cultivate
that art, When he was signing
articles on board a ship he began to
sign his name with his right hand,
and then changed the pen to his left
hand and finished it.
"So you can write with either hand,
Pat?" asked the officer.
"Yes, sorr," replied Pat. "Whin I
was a bhoy me father (rest his scull)
always said to me, 'Pat, learn to cut
yer finger nails wed yer left hand, for
some day ye might lose yer right("
No Escape.

look of misery on the face of the wiz-

Nothing Doing.
As the summer sun filtered
through the lace curtains, the board-
ing house sittingroorn looked almost
cosy and attractive. The brightness
and comfort thawed the heart of the
oldest lodger.
In an expansive moment he turned
toward the landlady, who was his
only companion in the room, and,
clasping her hands fondly, murmur-
ed:
"Will you be my wife?"
The woman did not start nor blush,
No maidenly coyness shone from hbr
clear, cold eyes.
"No, sir," she replied, with calm
delilieration. "I'm sorry, but I can-
not marry you. You've been here
four years and are much too good
a boarder to be put on the free list."
Breaking the Record.
The regiment was drawn up ready
for inspection. Smartly the men
were standing, chests out, eyes front,
etc. Round about an admiring crowd
had gathered. -
A sergeant, anxious to show off be-
fore the spectators, approached one
of the latest recruits, and asked him:
"Well, Jones, suppose you were on
outpost duty', and you saw the Ger-
mans approaching in massed forma-
tion, what would you do?"
Private Jones looked stolidly
ahead, but his answer came clear and
loud to the listeners:
