The Exeter Advocate, 1915-11-4, Page 3LOOKING OLD TOO SOON rho Condition of Too Many Wo- men and Too Many Girls. Too many women and too many girls look old long before they should. Pheir faces become pale and drawn; wrinkles appear and their eyes lack brightness. Can this be wondered at when they so frequently have head- aches, backaches and a. general feel- ing of wretchedness and weakness? rn most cases it is the blood that is to blame. From one cause or another the blood has become thin and watery, and it is a fact that anaemia (blood- lessness) more than any other cause, gives women this prematurely aged appearance. It is important that the blood supply of girls and women be regularly replenished ---important not only on the score of looks, but to restore robust health, which is of greater value. Dr, Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood and restore the system shattered by over- work or worry. These pills give a glow of health to pale faces and make tired, weary women and girls feel bright and happy. With Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at hand there is no need for any woman or any girl to look ill or feel ill, Mrs. J. McDonald, jr., Hay, Ont., says: "I honestly believe Dr. Williams' Pink Pills saved my life. Some years ago I had anaemia, and as I did not realize the seriousness of the trouble I soon became a complete wreck. I got so weak I could hardly walk, I neither ate nor slept well, and could not go upstairs without stopping to rest. At times I had an almost unbearable pain in my back and would have 'to remain in bed. I suffered almost constantly from a dull headache, and when ` sweeping if I would stoop to pick up anything I would get so dizzy that I would have to catch hold of something to keep from falling. At times my heart would beat so fast that I would have a smothering sensation. My eyes were sunken and my hands and limbs would be swollen in the mornings. I tried several kinds of medicine with- out benefit and my friends thought I would not recover. Then I began tak- ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and be- fore long could see and feel that they were helping me. I gladly continued the use of the pills until I was com- pletely cured and I cannot say enough in their praise, and I strongly recom- mend them to all run-down girls and women." You can get Dr; Williams' Pink Pills from any dealer in medicines or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Med- icine Co., Brockville, Ont. ANOTHER EFFECT OF WAR. Berlin's Birth Rate is Decreasing Rapidly. Both in the number of births and ;he marriages in Berlin, Germany; the effect of the war is slowly but surely being indicated. The former, .during July of this year, dropped off by 25 per cent,, and the ]atter in A.ugust showed an even more marked decrease. The number of births in the entire city for July was but 2415, as against 3224 in July, 1914. This falling off has gradually been increasing, as far as percentage is concerned. Though figures for August are not yet avail- able, it believed that an even great- er decrease will be found. The big residential suburb of Wi1- mersdorf, one of the largest in Berlin, gives a line on the ever -decreasing marriages in the city. In all of August, 1915, only 62 weddings took place in Wilmersdorf, as against 264 one year ago. Many of the latter, it is true, were so-called "war wed- dings," marriages ed-dings,"marriagesperformed ahead of schedule time in order that the men could go to war, but in 1913, a normal year, '78 weddings took place. FLAME PROJECTOR CAPTURED. German Device Propels Stream of Liquid Fire. , One of the liquid flame projectors, by means of which the Germans took on July 30 the positions at Hooge, from which they were driven on Aug- ust 9, has been captured. It resem- bles a metal pack in shape and is car- ried on the back. The inflammable liquid, some kind of coal tar prepara- tion, is kept under pressure in the tank, and its flow is regulated by means of a tap and a pressure gauge on a length of tubing. In the nozzleof the tube is a wick, which, when the flame projector is ready for use, is ignited by some chemical producing a fierce flame which ignites the liquid as it passes hut in a stream. Thus the liquid is- sues fromthe nozzle in a broad stream of flame. CHILDHOOD AILMENTS Ailments. such as' constipation, colic,. colds, vomiting, etc,, seize children of all ages, and the mother should be on her guard against 'these troubles by keeping a box of Baby's Own Tablets in the house. If any of these troubles come on suddenly the tablets will cure them, or if the little one is given an occasional dose of the tablets lie will escape these troubles. The tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Kind words never die, but the un- kind live quite long enough. BATTLE IN FLANDERS. Guns Heard Roaring In Southern England. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, writing in the current issue of Colliers',:, tells how theroar of the guns hi Flanders is heard at his home. The aethor lives near the summit of Crowbor- ough Beacon,, in northern Sussex, England. Be writes: ; "I am down at 8 and walk among the flowers before breakfast. Hark to that sound breaking in upon the peace of this sweet summer morning! It is very faint and very far, and yet with a deepthrob in it which tells of infi- nite power. There it is again rising a. little and then falling, like a thun- derous surge upon a distant beach. There is no doubt at all about the sound, It is that of the guns in Flan- ders. It is 120 miles as the ' crow flies, and it might well have appeared incredible, but you have also to re- member that we are '700 feet high and that there i$ a very steady easterly wind. Some miracle has put those air currents just right, and we do actual- ly hear the guns of the great long - drawn battle. For a week now, ever since the wind has been in that quar- ter, we have heard it. All tide sec- tion of Sussex is talking of it. "It brings it all very close, and when we volunteers must muster of an evening for our drill it helps to give actuality to the eternal 'Upon the left form line of platoons!' or 'Wheel to the right by sections',' when we hear the far-off roar of the whirlpool which has drawn in so much, and may yet draw in ourselves if we should be thought worthy. One can spring to attention with a sharper snap when the guns of Flanders are pulsing in one's ears." PRINCE OF WALES' ESCAPE, Automobile Which He Had Just Left Wrecked by a Shell. Anofficer attached to the British staff says that the Prince of Wales had a miraculous escape from death during the battle of Loos. Strictly accurate details are that the Prince was speeding towards the Front in an automobile. He ordered the driver to pull up at the foot of a knoll which the Prince mounted and watched the progress of the fighting through his binoculars. While he was standing on the hill a big shell fell on the automobile, utter- ly destroying the ear and blowing the driver to pieces. Reproached with running into dan- ger, which the heir to the throne must avoid, the Prince replied "Well, I have plenty of brothers."

Out COST OF LIVING DOUBLED. Half an Hour After a Meal One Is Hungry Again in Austria. Three. young women, named Hirst, have arrived at Skelmanthorpe, near Huddersfield, England, from Reichen- berg, Austria, where still remain their father and mother, one sister, and two brothers. Their father, a plush finisher, emigrated from Huddersfield fifteen years ago. Their reason for returning to Eng- land is that they were unable to ob- tain work except in the ammunition factories. The cost of living, they say, has gone up 100 per cent., and their father was unable to suport the whole family. No obstacle was placed in their way when they requested to be allowed to return to England, and the United States Consul advanced them the necessary money. They were detained ten days at Vienna while inquiries were being made and passports secured. The Austrian capital appeared as before the war, but the dancing halls were closed. Regarding the food in Austria the young women stated in an interview that the bread, obtained on the ticket system as in Germany, is made chief- ly from maize flour, so that it resem- bles yellow sponge cake. "Half an hour after a meal one is hungry again." In Austria people are told that food in 'England is at famine prices, that England desires peace, and that the British public is terror- ized by Zeppelins. Much was made in Austria ' at Christmas of the east coast bombard- Ment, 'and the Misses Hirst were amazed to learn` that Scarborough is much as usual. It was freely said that England had scarcely any, army at all, and the idea of raising new armies was much ridiculed. Lord Kitchener, it was stated, wasmaking. himself the laughing stock of .Europe with his army of criminals, convicts, and tramps, men wtho had not done any work for years because no one would employ them. So, much concerned were the Misses Hirst about the new British army that when they reached .Paris they ran ten to the first man they saw in khaki to have a good look at him. "He was not a tramp," said one of the young women, "but a Colonial who Was much amused when told of the reason for the curious eyes we turned upon him, England was everywhere in Aus- GET THIS CATALOGUE The Best Ever issued; Skates, Skating Boots, Hockey Swea- ters, Uniforms, and Complete Outfits, Snowshoes, Moccasins, SSkis, Toboggans.

Recruiting, War Loan Subscriptions, and "Thrift. Bow many million of dollars the British Government has spent in ad- vertising during the first year of the war no expert accountant has yet had the facilities to estimate. It is a safe statement to make, however, that no nation ever spent one-tenth as much on printers' ink in the same period. Kitchener's army has been raised chiefly by advertising. Full-page, half -page and smaller advertisements in the papers are almost daily occur- rences, The bill -boards have been covered with the greatest variety of posters any advertiser ever had paint- ed. A collection of these would re- al every play of ingenius appeal ad- vertising experts are capable of in- venting.. The signs on trams, buses,. and private motor cars increase ra- ther thandecrease as the war con- tinues. There are appeals for re - emits in prose and verse, in cartoon and suggestive picturing. all dressed as attractively as colored inks and trained advertising men can make them. The recent big war loan, the largest', in the history of governmental bor- rowings, was the occasion of another tremendous advertising campaign.) Even the big advertisers who have contracts for the outside pages of the dailies were pushed into the inside, see John Bull could ask Britons to pour their savings into the nation's tills. If the public had not become accus- tomed to Great Britain as a big ad- vertiser because of the proportions of the army recruiting crusade, the di- mensions of this campaign of adver- tising for money would have seemed startling, for in itself it was altoge- ther without precedent among nations befire this war. I Now there are signs of a third big advertising movement by Great Bri- tain in its "thrift campaign," Al- ready the posters are urging people to eat less meat, to eat more vegetables, to insist that each loaf of bread weigh two pounds, to report any dealer try- ing to sell a smaller loaf, and giving similar advice as to economical house- keeping.

"I have proved Nerviline simply a wonder in reducing a hard, painful swelling It followed an in- jury I received in my left leg and caused me great pain anal discomfort. The muscles were strained and sore, and no other remedy gave the ease and comfort I got from rubbing on Nerviline. There is .a soothing, pain- relieving power about Nerviline that touched the root of my trouble. Ner- viline reduced the swelling, it destroy- ed the pain, it brought my limb back to perfect condition," The experience of Mr. Bowen, whose home is in Mid- dlesex, is not unusual.

British School Children. Write Essays on the War. The interest of children in the war at different ages was the subject of a paper in the psychological section of the British Association recently by Dr, C. Kimmins, of Southwark, who said in order to obtain information as to the special interests of children at different ages in regard to the war es- says were written by all the children in 10 senior departments, five boys and five girls, of elementary schools, says the London Chronicle. No pre- paration was allowed, and no notice given. The children were told to write as much as they could about the war in 15 minutes. In all 3081 papers were written, 1,511 boys, 1,570 girls. A little girl, aged 11, wrote: The origin of the war was this: That when the German Emperor was at Windsor he insulted Queen Vic- toria, and so King Edward smacked him round the face. The German. Emperor said; 'I'll be avenged,' and hence the war." A boy of 1.2 wrote: "The advantage of the war is that the men have learn- ed to knit"; and another boy wrote: "The main disadvantage of war is that girls must remain old maids be- cause there will not be any men left."

Mrs. McGreevy was a dinner guest one evening where a noted explorer was the attraction. Being of a some- what languid turn of mind, she paid more attention to her dinner than to the conversation. After dinner was over she turned to. one of the guests and asked: "What was that tiresome old ex- plorer talking about?" "Progressive Patagonia," was the reply. "Really?" asked Mrs.' McGreevy with sudden interest. "And . how do you play it?" Minard's Liniment Cures Diphtheria. How to Tell Train's Speed.

ISSUE 45—'15. THE AFTERMATH OF BLOOD.. Red Poppy Crop on Battlefields of France. I There is a brisk discussion in France between the scientific people and the sentimental, tradition -loving peasants. It has been noticed that all the battlefields of northern France Where blood was shed last year are a -wave with red poppies, which grow everywhere and border all the roads. The peasants see in it the afterfhath of the blood stied in the fights of last autumn,. Scientific men point out that it is merely the natural result of the fields being thrown out of cultivation. But at least the peasants have tradition' on their side. The dreadful battle of Landen in 1693, when the victorious French and the defeated, allies left on the field between them some twenty thousand dead, produced a similar phenomenon. Lord Perth, writing to his sister in I the following summer, described the i appearance of the field in words which gave Macaulay an opportunity for a' characteristic flight. "During many months the ground was strewn with skulls and bones of horses and men. The next summer the .oil, fertilized by twenty thousand corpses,` broke forth into millions of poppies., The traveller who on the road from, Sant Teen to Tirlemont saw that vast sheet of scarlet spreading from Lan-€ den to Neerwinden could hardly help fancying that the figurative prediction of the Hebrew prophet was literally accomplished and that the earth was disclosing her blood and refusing to cover the slain."

As Good as New. One day a man exhibited a hand- some umbrella. "It's wonderful how I make things last," he exclaimed. "Look at this umbrella, now. I bought it eleven years ago.

A man charged with stealing a horse applied for legal aid at the Old Bailey, London, England. The Re- corder said the defence was that the man did not steal the horse; it fol- lowed him. "It walked by my side," said the man. The Recorder said he was afraid counsel could not persuade a jury that such a story was true. He refused legal aid, and told the man that he could "try the story" him- self. - Minard's Liniment Cures Colds, 8co. A Bump for Science.

"All right," returned the grocery - man, proceeding to measure out the tubers, "and while I'am getting them just look at them and think. Did it ever occur to you that they contain water, sugar, and starch?" "No," answered the boy.
