FOR ALL PARENTS
Children Often Seem to Pine
Away and. Ordinary Medicine
Does Not Help Them.
The health of children between the
ages of twelve and eighteen years,
particularly in the case of girls, isa
source of serious worry to nearly
every mother. The growth and de-
velopment takes so much of their
strength that in many cases they
actually seem to be going into a de-
cline, The appetite is fickle, bright-
ness gives way to depression, there
are headaches, fits ,of dizziness, pal-
pitation of the heart at the least ex-
ertion, and sometimes fainting. The
blood has become thin and watery and
the sufferer must have something that
will bring back the blood to its normal
condition. At this stage no other niedi-
cine can equal Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, Their whole mission is to make
new, rich blood, which reaches every
part of the body, bringing back
health, strength and energy. Miss
Helena Taylor, West Toronto, says;
"Two years ago I was so badly run
down with anaemia that some of my
friends did not believe I would get
better, I could not go upstairs with-
out stopping to rest, suffered from
headaches, loss of appetite, and for
two months of the time was confined
to the house. I was under the care
of a doctor, but the medicine I took
did not help me in the least.. A friend
advised my another to give no Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, and although I
did not expect they would help me
after the doctor's medicine had fail-
ed, I thought they might be wor=th
trying. After taking two boxes
there was such a marked change for
the better that people asked me if I
had changed doctors, and I readily
told them the medicine that was help-
ing me. I continued taking the pills
until I had used eight boxes, when my
health was fully restored, and I have
since enjoyed the best of health. I
hope my experience may be the means
of convincing some sickly person that
Dr, Wiliums' Pink Pills can restore
them to health."
You can get these pills through any
dealer in medicine, or by mail, post
paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes
for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
KEEP ON THE SUNNY SIDE.
Pick Out a Gleam of Light From the
Dark Paths.
Since we all have more or less mis-
fortune to meet, let us strive to meet
it in the right way, Why sit down
and bewail the ill luck that is ours?
Why turn our sorrow over and over
in our minds, seeing in it ever new
phases of misfortune? No! Let us
stand up beneath its weight, no mat-
ter how heavy the load may seem,
and, with our eyes fixed on the glim-
mer of light, let us walk swiftly out
of the dark paths into the sunlight.
Once we have learned to walk on
the sunny side of life, darkness will
have no further terrors for us, for we
will carry our sunshine around with
us in the depths of our hearts. The
sunshine of the mind is far warmer
and brighter than the sunshine which
we see and feel with our physical
senses.
Once we have gained the true sense
of real mental sunshine we will have
the means to pull ourselves out of
every slough of despond without any
outside aid. For just as Bunyan's
"Pilgrim's Progress" was mental, so
it is with all of our journeys through
life. What we really accomplish must
first be worked out in mind.
Learning to pick out the gleam of
light from the dark path, learning
how to avoid the sloughs of despond
and how to walk in the sunshine is
not easy, but even the attempt at
learning these lessons brings its re-
ward of happiness and peace. Every
little effort in the right direction
brings such beautiful returns that
the only wonder is that so few of us
make the effort.

THE CULTURED
ARE THE BRAVEST
YEARS OF REFINEMENT BRING
COURAGE.
Abbe Moreaux Believes War De-
veloped All Latent Fortitude
of Race,
The discussion of courage as de-
veloped by the war and as manifest-
ed by individual soldiers under fire
has drawn some interesting contribu-
tions from Dr. Charles Richet of the
French Institute and the Abbe Mo-
reaux, director of the Bourges Ob-
servatory.
Dr. ,Richet is of the opinion that
fear and courage must be considered
separately; that the former exists in
certain temperaments alongside the
latter; that .a man may be unable to
control the terrifying effect of a dan-
gerous situation upon his physical
faculties and yet stand his ground in
the face of almost certain death
through the exercise of his will.
These men he considers the bravest
; of all.
Among the soldiers who told their
ground under murderous Are there ^
are always some who are afraid and
others who are not, says Dr. Richet,
but all prove their bravery by still
being there; the cowards have fled.
Considering the whole war, taking
into account the atrocious features 6
!that have developed here and there
I with all allowance made for occasion-
al weaknesses, Dr. Richet considers 1
:that the soldiers have shown heroism
• that justifies a great deal of pride on
the part of the present generation, in
spite of the belief that seemed to a
prevail before the great conflict that
intellectual development, with pro -1
gress in science, letters and arts,!
R while ennobling the mind, had dimin-
lshed personal courage.
Most Refined Are Bravest..
The question was frequently dis-
cussed as to whether the delicate and
subtle culture of later years was not
going to produce a tame spirited and
effeminate generation, preferring well
being to arduous effort and incapable
of comprehending the beauty of sacri-
flee. It is exactly the contrary that
has been demonstrated, according to
Dr. Richet; the most cultivated and
refined of the young men of France
and Great Britain having been those
who have shown the greatest brav-
ery. Students of the Sorbonne and
other French universities, students of
Eton, Oxford and Cambridge set the
example.
These are the men, Dr, Richet says,
who have shown most courage in its
simplest form; that is to say, by su-
preme contempt for death, and that
contempt, he concludes, is not the re-
sult of philosophical reflection, but
is simply the spontaneous manifesta-
tions of inherent bravery.
Never, even among the heroes of
antiquity, in the times of Leonidas,
Spartacus, or Hannibal, according to
Dr. Richet, was there shown so much
of this kind of abnegation and so
much tranquil self-sacrifice—supreme
courage—as in the present conflict.
As to the men who are naturally
brave and take supreme risks with-,
out requiring an effort of the will to
overcome fear, Dr. Richet gives dif-
ferent reasons, the first of which is
that some of them do not believe in
danger; they imagine that they are
invulnerable -that they have a lucky
star; they are surrounded by a sort of
optimistic fatality that gives them a
feeling of security. In other cases
these naturally brave men, even when
they believe in danger, ar not intimi-
dated by it because they have in their
own minds already made the sacri-
fice of their life; once that conclusion
reached—to die or to be wounded is
something that does not torment
them.
Other Impelling Influences.
Others, and perhaps the great ma-
jority, are neither those that are in-
different to death nor those who be-
lieve in their lucky star; they are
men who see before them other more'.
powerful images than that of death,
such as the fatherland, sense of duty,
of honor, renown of the regiment, am- I
bition to earn praise or promotion,
pride at being admired by one's conal-'
rades, and shame at being taken for
a coward.
In nearly all these cases the idea of
death and danger disappear and the
soldier is brave without effort. He
forgets every risk that he is taking
in the. presence of the image that he
has in his mind.
The number of these naturally
brave men is notably larger in day-
light and in the presence of com-
manding officers and comrades than
at night on sentry duty or on solitary.
mission that no witness will be able
to recount. Men who acquit them-
selves on such missions without
flinching Dr. Richet considers the
bravest of all.
Habit Overcomes Fear.
In the constant habit of it all no-
tion of danger finally disappears, as
in the case of aviators; most of w;iom
the first time they are up in the air
have a sensation of fear in spite of
all reasoning. After a certain num-
ber of ascensions the physical: mani-
festations of apprehension disappear;
to be supported in the air by the
speed of themotor seems to them to
be the simplest thing..possible, and
certain pilots have declared that they
felt, themselves in greater safety
seated in theirr aeroplanes in the air
than when riding in an automobile.

fortitude than the young recruits who
had had only •a few months of prepar-
ation before facing the enemy.
Abbe Moreaux is of the opinion
that the war itself has .developed all.
the latent fortitude of the race, and
he expects that the generation that
has suffered this war will find itself
with new resources created by It.
The sentiment of union of common in-
terest and patriotism will have been'.
reawakened, he thinks, and many a
pusillanimous creature both in the
army and out of it will have a new
courage born of the virtue that makes
heroes. The entire nation, he thinks,
will participate in this reawakening
of latent forces.
BRITAIN'S ENEMY ALIENS,
How the Government Handles thele
Many Cases.
Whipping the enemy in the field of
battle and sinking his ships on the sea
constitute, of course, the main problem
of a war ; but there is another part
about going to war that is almost as
intricate and vexatious anci ae hard
in its own way to dead with, It con-
cerns spies and aliens—the capture
of the spy and the control of the aliens,
For a considerable period thousands
had full liberty, except reporting now
and then at police stations. Tile Bri-
tish Government now interns, unless
some very good reason for not doing
so is shown, all enemy aliens of mili-
tary age, and. some others.
Every German in Great Britain was
considered a. spy until proved other-`
wise. And probably every German.
was a spy, in the sense that if he had
the opportunity of obtaining and thea.
transmitting information to his Gov
etennent, he would do so. Those who:
were spies were arrested and tried ;
a dozen or so have been shot in the
Tower of London. Those who have
been suspected but not proved to havei
been spies have usually been sent into;
internment camps, out of harm's way,
and where their spying propensities
have no outlet. The taslc of combing:
out the "bad 'uns" has been enormous.
There is no telling how many inves-'
tigationa the police have had to make
—it runs into the hundreds of thous-
ands.
Not a rumor goes unheeded by Scot-
land Yard. Every report against any
person, whether it comes from a news-
boy, maid servant or householder, is
investigated. It is astonishing how,
many people have been accused of es-'
pionage in this view. Conversatiteas,
in the privacy of homes have been re-
peated by patriotic servants. A Scot-
land
cotland Yard man furnishes the next
chapter.
Foreigners have learned to be very
careful in what they say and where
they say it. Every Britisher enjoys
the privilege of roasting his own gov-
ernment; but let a foreigner do it
and if any one overhears there is like-
ly to follow a denouncement at Scot-
land 'yard,
"The Yard" never overlooks a thing.
Every report thus received, whither it
seems important or not, is investiga-
ted.
Of the large number of people placed
under arrest on suspicion probably one
per cent., according to information an
expert has given, are found guilty.
Many of these have done nothing seri-
ous
erious that can be proved against them,
and are chucked into internment
camps. A very small number com-
pared to the total of arrests have been
found guilty after trial.

WHITE OAK VALUABLE.

The white oak has served for more
useful purposes that perhaps any
ether tree, and its wood to -day is
worth as much as mahogany, Says
"Outing." Furniture of "solid oak" is
now a rarity, for the wooa has become
so expensive than it is used in the
form of a veneer over baser woods.
So used it loses none of its beauty,
and even the thin veneer resists wear
for an incredibly long tune.
This wood was a useful one to the
early agriculturalists as well as to
those of the present day. It was
durable when exposed to the ele-
ments, and was also durable in con-
tact with the soil. It was and is still
used in fencing, and much of the sec -

Carlisle, Eng.
Carlisle, Eng., is very proud of be-
ing the city selected to pioneer this
movement, and already the Gretna
is drawing a large clientele. Six pub-
lic houses here were closed in conse-
quence of the war and the necessity
arose to find a suitable substitute.
The new saloon is mare than a
mere bar and lounge. The building
is a fine stone structure in a promi-
nent thoroughfare, and resembles
neither the German beer hall nor the
British public house.
The invasion of the neighborhood
by the creation of a colossal muni-
tions factory in the neighborhood of
Carlisle was the origin of the idea of
a kind of wnrkman's club saloon. The
rural beer houses were too small and
too local for the class of people who
had come into the locality. So the
Control Board took over several of
these rural inns, and have made a
single building of them, with kitchens,
dining -rooms, library and cinema
shows.
