T i� u i � D�j How He Gains Power Through His i HRO V GH LA GRIPPE L Family Connections. It Generally Leaves the Patient Debilitated and an Easy Vic - tint to Other Diseases. One of the foremast medical writers - says; "It is astonishing the number of people who have been crippled in health for years after an attack of la grippe or influenza," The real dan- ger from this disease, which sweeps over Canada every winter,is during convalescence, when the characteristic symptoms, the fever, the catarrh, the headaches and the depression of spi- rits pass away. Grip leaves behind it ;weakened vital ,powers, thin blood, im- paired digestion and over -sensitive nerves ---aa condition that makes the system an easy prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheumatism, nervous pros- tration and even consumption. It is a condition that calls most emphatically for a tonic for the blood. Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills are a tonic especially adapted to meet this need as they purify and enrich the blood. They tone up the nerves and give vigor, strength, and health to the debilitated system. Mrs, Howard D. Chaffey, Indian Island, N. says: "For sev- eral everal winters in sUeeeesian I was at- tacked by la grippe, which left me weak and badly run down. In each case I used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills with the most beneficial results. Last winter when the trouble was again prevalent I took the precaution of for- tifying my system with Dr, Williams' Pink Pills and escaped the trouble, while many of my neighbors were down with it. In fact I enjoyed the best of health all spring and feel sure this medicine will so fortify the sys- tem as to prevent the trouble." These Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or may be had by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2,50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co,, Brockville, Ont. FIGHTING WOMEN. Some in Russian Army Have Been Decorated for Bravery. • It has been known for months that many Russian women have been fight- ing shoulder to shoulder with their fathers, husbands and brother, in the army of the Czar. A number of them have been pro - meted and have beeome full-fledged officers, and others have been decor- ated for gallantry with the military Cross of St. George. The youngest; perhaps, is an 18 year-old Vilna schoolgirl, Kira Basb kiron, who enlisted under the nam of Nicholas Popin. She had her feet frozen, but continued fighting unci she was wounded and taken to th field hospital, where it was discovered that she was a woman. Alexandra I{okovtseva also enlist ed under an assumed name •in th Ural Cossack regiment to which hei husband belonged, and in which h had fought in the Russo-Japanes War. After having been wounded twie in the East Prussian campaign she showed such extraordinary courage that she was recommended to be pro- moted to become a colonel, although her sex had been found out, and as colonel she has served ever since. `Her soldiers are devoted to her, and none of them can sit a horse with ;note ease than she or can endure longer hours in the saddle. She was born in the Ural Mountains, and spent most of her life in the open. CAUSES TROUBLE People Slowly Learn the Facts. The great German kingly and princely and grand -ducal houses, the Hohenzoilerns, the Cobourgs and the rest, have this one thing in common; their women all breed and rear fine babies, and many of them: .A certain fixed proportion of these sturdy, clean -limbed, beautiful infants are girls, and they presently grow u —or some of them do, at any rate:" into sturdy, clean -limbed, beautifu women, Now, beautiful women, if they bap pen to be princesses, and rich, a most of these, are, are valuable asset What Frenchwomen Are Doing Pur- i ing ur-ting the War. Frenchmen as a rule are willing to admit that women are the backbone of the nation, and so they are prov- ing in the conduct of the war. At the outbreak of hostilities the peasant women took charge of farms, follow- ed ollowed the plough, attended to the live stock,, and,, after the mobilization of the men s d b th " , ave y en eriorts anq F labor the food supply of the French nation. It is due to them that the l price of bread in France retrains at little over normal. There is . no housekeeping allowance in France, s and it is largely because the woman s - to a sovereign who, like the Kaiser is bent on dominating Europe. H bestows the pick of them on othei minor sovereigns, thereby gaining power and prestige through his family connections. All men are influenced more or less, :consciously or uncon sciously, by their wives, and Kings are no exception to the rule. And. the Kaiser is an Al marriage broker. Make no mistake about that Ile has 'bestowed his favorite sister the Princess Sophie, on King Con- stantine of Greece, with what result We all know. He it was, too, who "arranged' the marriage of the young Queen of .Holland with his kinsman, Prince Henry of Mecklenburg -Schwerin; and no one can truthfully say that Hol- land is preeisely and enthusiastically on our side. Bulgaria has been ruled over by a German ever since" it became an in- dependent country, the present King being, of co rse, a Coburger; while his wife is also a German, being form- erly known as Princess Eleanora of Reuss, The German Princess Alexandrine of Mecklenburg, nobbled the present Ming of Denmark, Christian X.; and his father, by the way, was also a German originally—Prince Schleswig Holstein-Sonderburb-Glueksburg. The same thing confronts us in which ever direction we turn. Europe is simply dotted thick all over with German Royalties set upon "strategic" thrones, Thus the Queen of Sweden is a German, and first cousin to the Kaiser, being formerly known as Princess 'Victoria of Baden, King Ferdinand of Rumania is a Hohenzol- lern, and his German born -and -bred wife was formerly the Princess Marie of Saxe -Coburg and Gotha. Fortunately, though, it doesn't al- ways work, this giving in marriage in rcier to further .the great game of `Deutschland uber Allies." The pre- ent Queen of Belgium, as tine all mow, is a German. Yet she detests he Huns who have ravaged her bus- and's kingdom as heartily as we do, nd has publicly avowed her intention. f having nothing more whatever to do with them. IraIUS the purse and disburses its con- ' tents that France has her inexhaust e ible "long stocking." It is owing to the sante influence that two-thirds of the rural population live in their own, houses, and also that the French peo- ple have the reputation of being the - best taxpayers in the world. In France the social and economic posi- tion of the woman makes her the most important factor in French fam- i1y life, and invariably the greatest , deference is shown by the menfolk to her judgment. 0 I lb a e e e e Mrs. E. Cutler, St. Lazare, Man., writes.—''I have used Baby's Own e Tablets for the past ten years for my five children and can truthfully say there is no medicine to equal them." The Tablets regulate the bowels and stomach, cure constipation and indi- gestion, expel worms and make teeth- ing easy. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at •25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. 'i. NO MEDICINE TO EQUAL BABY'S OWN TABLETS "All my life I have been a slave to coffee. I kept gradually losing my health, but I used to say 'nonsense, it don't hurt zee.' "Slowly I was forced to admit the truth and the final result was that my nervous force was shattered. (Tea produces about the same effect as cof- fee, because they both contain the drugs, caffeine and tannin). "My heart became weak and uncer- tain in its action and that frightened tee. Then my physician told me that I must stop drinking coffee or I could never expect to be well again. "I thought of Postum but could hardly bring myself to give up the coffee. "Finally I concluded that I owed it to myself to give Postum a trial. I got a package and carefully followed the directions, and what a delicious, nourishing, rich drink it was! Do you • know, I found it very easy to shift from coffee to Postum. - "Almost immediately after I made the change I found myself better, and as the days went by I kept on improv- ing:. My nerves grew steady, I .slept well and. felt strong and well-balanced. Now, the old nervousness is gone and I am ;well once more." It pays to give up i the drink that a .Cts on some like a poison, for health is the greatest fortune one can have. ,Name given: by Canadian Postal,, Co., Windsor, Ont.

When the war comes to an end a treaty of peace will be signed, sealed and delivered as between the various belligerents. This will be a most imposing docu- ment, written by hand throughout, sealed with many seals, and bound about with green silk ribbon. Fol- lowing the usual custom, each copy will begin with the words, "In the name of the Most Hdly and Undivided Trinity." Should, however, Turkey be one of the signatory powers, as seems probable, this formula will be altered to "In the Name of Allah the Almighty God" in the copy allotted to her. At least as many original copies as there are signatory powers will be signed and sealed, while several certified copies will be signed, but not sealed, for the sake of convenience. The original copies will be securely locked up in the state archives of the ,different countries; the certified copies will be. used for printing from and for reference.I. Peace treaties are, not written straight across the page, or pages, like ordinary documents. They:. are: written in parallel columns, one in` .English, the next in French, the next in. Italian, German, Russian, and :so on, according to the number of lan- guages spoken by the peoples of the signatory powers. The text of each of these columns is an exact transla- tion of the text sof all the other col- umns, and the utmost pains is taken in the selection of words that will C011 identical shades of meaning. 1 'The monarchs of the signatory pow- ers don't affix their signatures or seals to the peace treaties entered into by them. This important formal- ity is carried out by specially accredit- ed.' commissioners, each 0f 1 .peace, Whom uses his own personal privatd seal, ills impression' being in rete wax. Heard of 'Them. From Her Brother WHY 1lIRS. MARCHBANK USED DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS, She Found Quick Relief and Now Re- commends All Women Who Suffered as She Did to Use Dodd's Kidney Pills. St, Martin's, St. John Co., N.B., Jan. 31st (Special), -- Mrs. Violet Marchbank, wife of a well-known far- mer living near here, is telling her neighbors of the splendid results she has got through using Dodd's Kidney Pills. "My trouble started from a cold,' Mrs. Elarchbank states. "I had back- aehe, my joints, were stiff and 'my muscles cramped. I was irritable and always thirsty. My appetite was fit- ful and. I felt heavy and sleepy after meals. Rheumatism was added to m troubles as well as headaches, and heart fiutterings made me very anx- ious at times, "I •;ufiered for about two years and was far from being a well woman when my brother told 'me what great things Dodd's Kidney Pills had done for him, and I made up my mind to try them. "I sent and got three boxes and they hdlped me right from the start. I can recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills to all women who suffer as I did." Every one of Mrs. Marchbank's symptoms was a symptom of kidney trouble. That is why she found sueh quick relief in Dodd's Kidney Pills. WAR MARRIAGES. Early marriages have .been re- cently advocated by certain not par- ticularly well-informed persons ns one means of making up for the ter- rible• wastage of lives the nation is now suffering. With regard to the economic as- pect of the question, it may be said that at worst we shall probably not lose more than 4 per cent. of the male population (of all ages) in killed and permanently disabled, writes 'an Eng- lish physician. This loss leaves us in point of numbers about where we stood four years ago. But great wars are usually followed by a marked in- crease in the birthrate, and, conse- quently, without any deliberate effort on our part and leaving the remedy entirely to nature, we ought to make good the wastage of war in four years or less. That prediction, of course, assumes something which is by no means an assured fact—namely, that after the war, work will be plentiful, wages good and the necessaries of life easily within•the purchasing power of the people, the marriage -rate being closely. connected with variations in all these factors.

LONDON AND BERLIN. Awakening of the Former and False Security of the Latter, A neutral who just visited London and Berlin cities describes them thus: No one who has seen both London and Berlin can fail to be impressed by the fact that England is beginning; the fight, while Berlin confidently be- lieves that the end of the war is at hand. Berlin is lulled. by the incense'; of victory to a sense of false security. London is for the first time fully awake to the real perils of the situ- ation. England seems on the eve of a great effort. Germany is convinced that she has crushed her enemies. In a word, Berlin talks peace, London war! t Why We Shake Hands. To shake hands with a person is ; rightly regarded as a token of amity, , but very few know how this custom arose. According to a French ethnolo- n gist, whenever two . met in former Y times they were accustomed to hold up their right hand in front of them as a sign that they had no intention of at- tacking each other. This mark of con- fidence, however, did not prove suffi- cient in all cases, for a man may hold up his right hand and yet, if he keeps it closed, may have a weapon con- cealed in it, and therefore it became the custom for the two right hands to , grasp, each other, as only thus could full assurance be given that no wea- pon was concealed in either of them, Formerly, therefore, this gesture, now the token of loyalty and friendship, was one of reciprocal distrust.

The healing power of Zam-Bale is so much greater than that of other oint- meats, that it has earedin many cases. when all other ointments have tailed. One such instance is that of Mr. Earle E. Gardiner, of Marquis, Sask., who writes: "' For two years I suffered with a bad attack of saltaheuzn on my feet. During those two years I tried every known remedy, but could find nothing that would cure the disease,. Then I heard of Zam-Buk, and com, menced using it. After the first few applications I noticed an improve- ment, and this encouraged me to con• time. Although I had suffered for two years, after only two months treatment with Zamn-I3uk I am com. pletely cured." Zara-Bulc is equally good for eczema, ulcers, abscesses, blood -poisoning, piles, cold sores, chapped bands, chilblains, eruptions, etc. At all drug stores, 50e. box, or from Zara -Bale Co„ Toronto.

During the South African War an order was issued to the men of the Highland regiments to cover up their tartan kilts, as they made good tar- gets for the enemy. The order prov- ed very unpopular, and caused a great deal of dissatisfaction among the soldiers concerned. When Sir George White heard this he said, "Let them cover up only the front of their kilts; the enemy will never see the other side!" The publisher of the best Farmer's paper in the Maritime Provinces in writing to us states: "I would say that I do not know of a medicine that has stood the test of time like MINARD'S LINIMENT. It has been an unfailing remedy in our household ever since I- can re? member, and has outlived dozens of would-be competitors , and imitators." A Bird Tragedy. Last June, says the Scottish Na- turalist, great masses of floating oil, supposed to have come from a torpe- doed ship loaded with lubricants, ap- peared along the east coast of Scot- land. At ICingsbarns the thick brown stuff covered the rocks and lay seven inches deep in the crevices. The keeper of the lighthouse on the Isle of May reported that large sheets of oil had drifted, to the island, and that all the creeks toward the sea were full of it. At Cambo. at Largo Bay, and round the shores of Fife the oil also appeared. At all those places the sea birds suffered to .;:i extraordinary de- gree. Guillemots, razorbills, and puf- fins died in enormous numbers. The eider ducks also suffered.' Dead birds were lying all along' high-water mark. 'Large numbers of dazed birds sat about on the docks with their feathers matted with. oil. They were unable either to fly or to dive, and in the end starved to death. .1':Einarcl's Liniment Cares :Colds, 'Etc Not So Heavy, "It would please me very much, ?Vass Stout," said Mr. ktugley, "if you would go to the theatre withme. this evening."
