OVER BABY'S ILLNESS
Mrs. Jos. Gaudreau, Notre Dame
des Bois, Que., writes: "Last autumn
air baby was very sick and we were
greatly discouraged. The doctor did,
not seem able to 'help him, and: we be-
gan using Baby's Own Tablets, which
soon made him a fat,healthy child."
Thousands of other mothers give
Baby's Own Tablets the same. praise,
The Tablets regulate the stomach and
bowels, break up colds and simple fe-
vers, expel worms, cure colic, and
make teething easy, They are sold by
medicine dealers' or by mail at 25
cents a box from The Dr. Williams'

JELLICOE AT SCHOOL.
The Diplomatic Way He Made a
Bosom Friend.
As a boy Sir john Jellicoe, Admiral',
of the Grand Fleet, attended a echoQi
at Rottingdean, the little Sussex vil-
lage, four miles from Brighton. Apart',
from the fact that he was a hard'
worker, Jellicoe was undistinguished
from other boils. He was known,
however, as a boy of exceptionally
high character, and successfully pass-
ed the very difficult examination
which was necessary in those days to
secure admission to the Britannia.
Professor MacNaughton, who was
it school with Jellicoe, says that the
admiral possessed a large capacity
for fun, r"and he was certainly distin-
guished beyond any of my contem-
poraries at school with a fund of ori•
ginality of which I remember one par-
ticularly striking instance. Young
Jellicoe had just entered the school,
and being a new boy, he had to make
his wayintheworld of
rl
Ile proceeded in an eminently original
way,
"There was a senior boy in the
school,," continues the professor,
'whose name, I think, We's Ingram,
Now, these who know anything about
school life will know that it is hedged
about with all sorts of rules and
points of etiquette, and that it is ex-
tremely difficult for a new boy, cape-
cially at his first coming, to gain the
friendship or confidence of one who
has already an established place in
the school. But John Jellicoe had
evidently determined that it was
worth while to cultivate the friendship
of this senior boy; and he set about it
In the following very original way:
"A game of football was being
played in the afternoon on the small.
playing field which lay within the
school precincts. On one occasion the
bell went out of bounds, and Jellicoe
went to fetch it. Instead of throwing
It back in the ordinary manner, he
ran back with the ball in his hand,
and, on coming close to Ingram, made
a neat drop-kick, so that the ball
bounded against himwith some force,
There was a shout of laughter and
applause, and away ran Jellicoe, pure
sued by Ingram, to a corner of the
field, where they indulged for some
moments in a friendly tussle before
resuming the game,
"From that day Jellicoe and Ingram
became bosom friends, and though
this trivial incident occurred more
than forty years ago, it has always
remained in my memory. I do not .in-
deed remember, either at this or at
any other of the schools where I was
educated, any instance of equally sue-
cessful, and original boyish diplo-
macy."
A DOCTOR'S EXPERIENCE
Medicine Not Needed In This Case.
It is hard to convince some people
that tea or coffee does them an injury!
They lay their bad feelings to almost
revery cause but the true and unsus-
pected one. •
But the doctor knows. His wide
experience has proven to him that, to
some systems, tea and coffee are in-
sidious poisons that undermine the
health. Ask him if tea or coffee is a
cause of -constipation, stomach and
nervous troubles.
"I have been a coffee drinker all
my life, and when taken sick two
years ago with nervous prostration,
the doctor said that my nervous sys-
tem was 'broken down and that I
would have to give up coffee.
"I got. so weak and shaky I could
'not work, and reading an advertise-
ment of Postum I asked •my grocer if
he had any of it. He said, 'Yes,' and
that he used it in his family and it
was all itclaimed to be.
"So I quit coffee . and commenced
to use Postum -steadily, and inabout-
two weeks I. could sleep. better and
get up in the morning' feeling fresh.
In about two. months I began to gain
flesh. I weighed only 146 pounds
when I .commenced on Postum and
;now ]' weigh 167 and -feel better •than.
I did eat 2.0 years of age.
"I am working every, day and sleep,
well at night. My twochildren` were
coffee drinkers, but they have not
drank any since Postum came into the
house, and are far more healthy than
they were before." Name given by,

GOLDSMITH'S ADVICE.
Though a Spendthrift Realized, Advan--
tages. of Thrift.
The poet. Goldsmith, though his
works prove him to have been a man
of almost unprecedented political in-
sight,
could hisown co d not manage o n afe
fairs. Be was always in debt, and the
more' he received for his writings,
which were even• more popular in his
life time than they are to -day, the
more he spent and the more debt he
incurred. At his -death he owed no •
less than two thousand pounds, which,
allowing for the greater purchasing
power of money in that day, would be
equal, at least to twenty thousand dol..
lars now. The great Samuel Johnson,
Goldsmith's friend and benefactor,
might well exclaim, as he did, "Was
ever ,poet so trusted before?" But,
though Goldsmith was a spendthrift, R
he realized the advantages of that,
thrift which, could he have practised
it, would have made him his own mas-
ter instead of the slave of publishers
and money -lenders, Writing to a bro-
ther about the training of his son,
poor Goldsmith said: "Teach, my dear
sir, to your son thrift and economy.
Let his poor wandering uncle's exam-
ple be placed before his eyes, I had
contracted the habits and notions of a
philosopher while I was exposing my-
self to the insidious approaches of
cunning; and often by being, even
with my narrow finances, charitable to
excess, I forgot the rules of justice,
and placed myself in the very situa-
tion of the wretch who thanked me
for my bounty,"

NO MORE STIFFNESS, PAIN
OR MISERY IN YOUR BACK
OR SIDE OR LIMBS!
Wonderful "Nerviline" is the Remedy.
A marvelous pain reliever.
Not an ordinary liniment—just
about five times more powerful, more
penetrating, more pain -subduing than
any thick, oily or ammonia liniment.
Nerviline fairly eats up the pain and
stiffness in chronic rheumatic joints,
gives quick relief to those throbbing
pains, and never burns or even stains
the skin.
"Rheumatism kept my joints swol-
len and sore for ten years. 'My right
knee joint was often too painful to al-
low me to walk. In this crippled tor-
tured condition I found Nerviline a
blessing. Its warm, soothing action
brought relief I had given up hoping
for. I rubbed on quantities of Nervi -
line and improved steadily. I also took
Ferrozone at mealtime in order to
purify and enrich my blood. I am to-
day well and can recommend my
treatment most conscientiously.

It's wonderful for lumbago and

simply a wonder. Best family lini-
ment known and largely used for the
past forty years. Sold by dealers
everywhere, large family size bottle

LORD KITCHENER'S TASK.
He Is Making Ready for the Knock-
out Blow.
It is puzzling many what we are
doing with the armies we have rais-
ed. Everyone expected certain activi-
ties when we had reached a certain
strength, and in more than one influ-
ential quarter the feeling has been
expressed that Lord Kitchener should
now take his true position as Brit-
ain's foremost soldier, writes an Eng-
lish correspondent.
I believe that the nation would be
almost unanimous in transferring
Kitchener to the field, but we must
first- of' all be sure that his work at
home is finished. Ile' set out to per-
form what seemed an impossible task,
namely, the raising of an army num-
bered not by thousands but by mil-
lions. There was only one - man - in
Britain capable of even tackling that
job—Kitchener.
That task is not yet finished,,, for
Lord Kitchener will make one more
appeal—and it will be the last. Mark
that. The register will be his guide
as to the number of men he will ask
for, and he knows that the, call will be
answered. He is in no great hurry to
make that call, for rightly we ` are
now dealing: with arms before the
man, .and certain events may even
happen that will enable the; Allies to
win victory at present strength; but
it is well known in. military circles
that Lord Kitchener. Will not consider
his •work at the War Office done until
Britain has a reserve- superior to any
of:the Great Powers.' ' '
Lord 'Kitchener is the silent men • of
war, and he is making ready .for the
knock -out blow. We have not yet re-
taliated upon the Germans with a
weapon like the poison gas, but that
does hot mean that we : cannot.
Kitchener is not only building up
armies, he is : creating weapons and
preparing • surprises. The scientist
and theieventor have been called up
by Britain's strong man. , When the
hour comes to employ the new .,weap-
ons and the new armies Germany will
do more than talk of.,•. peace,. then
.Kitchener will take his true position
as leader of•the Bzitish.Armyin the
west.
Henry- VIII. was the, first English
Sovereign to be styled.` "`His Majesty:"
"You have lost a camel," said he to
the merchants.
"Indeed we have," they replied,
"Was he not blind in the right eye,
and lame in the left leg?" said the
dervise,
"Be was," replied the merchants.
"And was be not loaded with honey
on one side and wheat on. the other?"
"Most certainly he was," they re-
plied; "and, as you have seen him so
lately, and marked him so particular-
ly, you can in all probability conduct
us to him."
"My friends," said the dervise, "I
have never seen your camel, nor even
heard of him, but from youi"
"A pretty story, truly," said the
merchant; "but where are the jewels
which formed a part of his burden?"
"I have seen neither your camel
nor your jewels," repeated the der -
vise.
On this they seized his person, and
forthwith hurried him before the cadi;.
but on the strictest search nothing
could be found upon him, nor could
any evidence whatever be adduced to
convict him either of falsehood or of
theft.
They were about to proceed against
him as a sorcerer when the dervise,
with great calmness, thus addressed
the Court:—"I have been much amus-
ed at your surprise, and own that
there has been some ground for your
suspicions; but I have lived long and
alone, and I canfind ample scope for
observation even in a desert. I knew
that I had crossed the track of a
cemel that had strayed from its own-
er, because I saw no mark of any hu-
man footstep on the same route. I
knew that the animal was blind of one
eye, because it had cropped'the herb-
age only on the one side of its path;
and that it was lame in one leg, from
the faint impression which that pax-
ticular foot had produced upon the
sand. I concluded that the animal had
gazed a small tuft of herbage had
been left uninjured in the centre of
its bite. As .to that which formed the
burthen of the. beast the busy ants in-
formed me that it was corn on the one
side, and the clustering flies that it
was honey on the other."
FINE TRAIN AMBULANCE.
New One Built in England a Rolling
Hospital and Hotel. .
The latest thing in train ambu-
lances, built by the. London & North-
Western Railway at a cost of some
$35,000 for service in France, is quite
the most perfect of the kind ever seen.
The train, whose carriages all con-
nest so that on a straight line one can
look, along 800 feet of.corridor, is
steam heated and electric lighted
throughout, while every car is pro-
vided with electric -ventilating fans.
Thetwo kitchens, marvels, of compact
equipment, aroused much enthusiasm.
They will supply the wounded men as
soon as they are broughton board
with hot drinks and soup, to be fol=:
lowed later with delicious stews and
more substantial fare. The treatment.
room has medical stores, a long table,
and all requisites for operations.
There are linen rooms, a pharmacy,
and a kit room far the officers, whe
have a very comfortable mess -room,
matched by a second mess -room for
the four army nurses assigned to each
•train. The staff consists of 42, in-
cluding the cooks --who have their
own quarters—and the orderlies, who
lodge four in a compartment and have
a long, cheerful dining car. Tanks in
the roof supply the wards and kitchen
with hundreds of gallons of water.
The special feature of these trains
is the separate ward for infectious
cases fitted to the brake van. The.
arrangement of the berths in the
wards set aside for lying down cases
is also new. The berths, which can
be raised like those in an ordinary
sleeping car, are arranged in tiers of
three, with the advantage that 36 men
can be comfortably settled in each
ward. As in all the specially -built
trains, these cars are loaded through
doors at the side instead of through
the open windows, which was the old
style. The two trains just finished
are part of a fleet of 24 which carry
British wounded from the front to the
base hospitals and the ports in France,
Russia Buys Large Quantities of Tea..
The Canadian demand for Indian
and Ceylon teas increase yearly.
and if one adds to this the many
other contingencies brought about by
the war, it can readily be understood
why the cost
of tea is ins easing,
Russia is taking enormous quantities,
and their buyers pay the very high-
est prices. The abnormal buying
has forced quotations up over 10c a
pound higher than nine months ago.

THE CIGARETTE il'I BATTLE.
Incident at the Front Which Showed
Great Coolness,
The British is born with an equable
and composed temperament, writes W.
Douglas Newton in the Royal Maga-
zine, Ills emotions are forced into
the channel of that temperament by
his own distaste of outward show,
and- more, by his life's companions'
distaste for outward show. Whatever
his emotions they are forced to flow
in the same groove, and therefore, he
does not change. He is always the
same, whether he is going at a steady
jog -trot through business life, or whe-
ther he is fighting Germany. And be-
ing always the same, you can neither
make him excited—that is in the hys-
terical German or the emotional Gal-
lic ways—on the battlefield, or afraid.
He is always himself, and himself has
not altered for a century.
War to him must be carried on in
the same way as his ledgers were
filled up, and his lawn mown in civil-
ian life. In the former state he fre-
quently paused to light a pipe and
edutemplate the universe, in his new
state he continues the -habit. In one
of the fights a private smoked, steadily
as he fired at the advancing Germans.
He puffed at his cigarette between Leis
shots, put the cigarette on a stone,
fired, and took the cigarette again.
When he came back from a bayonet
charge his chief concern was not the
success his battalion had attained, but
the fact that the cigarette had smoked
itself out. The charge was a minor
success of many successes. The ciga-
rette was the last.
Notorious For His Slackness.
Jones was recently sent by his em-
ployer to collect an account from
Smith, notorious for his slackness in
making payments: After several vain
attempts to obtain a settlement, Jones
remarked, "Well, at least let me know
on what date I may expect payment"
Smith replied—"Do you take me for a
prophet?" "No," responded Jones.
"Up to the present I have always re-
garded you as a loss."

The subject of the discussion was
the imperfection of man. The scep-
tical man held ` that human beings
aren't so very wonderful, after all,
and: the preacher didn't agree with
him. -
"But, surely," protested the scof-
fer, "you must admit that man is a
bungle job? Why, even you, in
your work, must have noted many de-
fects in the human organism, and
have thought of better physical con-
trivances."
The preacher smiled gently.
"Yes, I ' have," he replied ; in, cool
sarcastic tones. "You see when I
want to shut out anything disagree-
able from 'my sight. I can always
draw down my eyelids,, like this; but
unfortunately I haven't any flaps to
my ears."

JAP TOYS ARE NOT Di
RABLE.
Consequently New Industry in the
Orient Has Dropped Off.
Japan's trade in toys, which once
showed a steadily increasing tendency, '
owing to the recession of Austrian
and German merchants from the trade
arena, is reported from Yokohama to
have shown quite a contrary tendency
lately.
Inunediately after the outbreak of
war American and Japanese toy mak-
ers were suddenly called upon to sup-
ply toys that had been furnished by
Austrian and German manufacturers.
The Japanese manufacturers particu-
larly were looked to by the dealers in r
the Philippines, the Dutch Indies, and
India, for the supply of colored -paper
toys, small flags, and wooden models.
Thus trade showed a great expan-
sion and inspired hope in the Japanese
manufacturers, who then sent their re-
presenta:tives to those southern mar-
kets and investigated the possibility
of the line. Some of them had al-
ready carried out a great increase in
their operations,. Before, however, the
extension had been fully effected, the
sudden contraction of trade came.
Japanese toys appear good, but are
declared to be not durable. The color-
ing is also said to be poor and not
durable, particularly when the goods
are sent to southern lands.
