You may be a real teetotaler and yet be "intoxicated"—that is, poisoned by the gases that come from imperfect digestion. The products of food putrefaction are taken up by the blood and often poison the entirS ° system. Cut out meats and starchy foods for a while. Eat Shredded Wheat with rrulk or cream for breakfast; eat it with stewed fruits and green vegetables for dinner or supper. It will cure auto- intoxication and make a new man of you.

It is unfortunate for the future peace of Europe that by far the best iron fields that are accessible either to France or. to Germany lie exactly an the present frontier of - the two countries. A good many Frenchmen believe that the Germans' hope of seizing'pernanently the part of these melds that lies in French Lorraine, was one of the real causes of the pre- sent war, and the reason that' last winter ,determined them to attack at Verdun, instead of.at some point near- er Paris. Certainly, thoughtful writ ers, both French and German; discuss the subject very frankly, and point out to their respective countries how fatal the final surrender of any part of this disputed territory;would be to the prosperity of their nation. In this age, of machinery 'a plalrti ful supply of both coal and iron is es- sential s-senti.l to any country that hopes to Maintain itself as an industrial 15ower; and the last ten years have proved that such a supply is even more neves- sary in war than in peace. The Ger- mans admit that without the iron of the Metz and Thione i11e regions (which they thriftily took from France after the war of 1870) they would have been unable to supply their armies with the ineredible quan- tity of guns and ammunition that mod- ern fighting requires. , France has kept up only because the British navy has kept the seas open, for the iaa- port of iron; its own mines in the ha- ssins of Briey and Longwy have been in the hands of the Germans ever since tha war began. Now, neither France nor Germany is rich in iron outside the Lorraine fields. The year before the' war France produced nearly 22,000,000 metric tons of iron, and Germany dug more than 28,500)000 tons from its mines. If Lorraine were all French, the figures would have been 43,000,000 tons for France and 7,500,000 tons for Germany. If Lorraine were all Ger- man,' that country would have had 48,- 500,000 tons to 2,000,000 tons for France. The figures explain why the two nations will fight to exhaustion rather than surrender any territory that they now hold in Lorraine. The question of coal is less critical, for the coal fields of the Saar -part of which was French until the fall of Napoleon.—are farther from the bor- der, and are not essential to Germany, although they would 'Il'e very itse:iu1 to France, which has very, little coal of its own, and 'Which has, largely for that reason; seen itself outstripped in the industrial race by ;Germany. It begins to. appear, however, that neither power is likely to gain any 'territorial advantage in Lorraine as a result of this war. Peace is likely to �-efore trinking' Tea or Cw j t�s' ffee, on!.. onsida � : ether Not It Is Iiar.mful "hue's a Reason" for • leave the frontier still cutting the precious fields of iron very nearly in half. But unless Europe is wise enough to find a way out of its na- tional envies and jealousies, the time may come in the not far distant fu- ture when the prize will seem rich enough to one country or the other to justify another war of aggression and eonquest. r.. BELGIAN ARMY CAME BACK.. Now Well Equipped, Horse, Foot and ,Artillery. The Belgian army has been com- pletely organized, says Henry Wood, United Press correspondent with Icing Albert's army. Horse, foot and artil- lery, the army is now well equipped and busy holding their, part of the line from the Hun. The soldiers are comfortably clothed and well armed, the cavalry supplied with horses and the artillery satisfactory. The Bel- gians are in charge of the inundated country, _which affords splendid pro- tection against the enemy and ren- ders infantry attacks impossible. The Belgians are separated from the Ger- mans by a mile of water, including the River Yser and the Yser Canal. The Belgian artillery includes mod- ern guns made in Portugal, contribu- tions from France and. England, and guns captured from the Germans in the original inundation when the dykes were opened and the Huns had to hustle out to eseape drowning, without waiting to try and extricate the guns, which were recovered by the Belgians, who drew off the water from that section when it was convenient. RICH RED BLOOD MENS GOOD HEALTH Just' a.:Little More Rich, Red Blood Cures I1'Iost Ailments. The lack of'suflicient. red , health - giving blood does not end merely in a pale complexion, It is much mare ser-' ious. Bloodless people are the tired, languid, run down folk who never have a bit of enjoyment in life, Food does not nourish, there's indigestion, "'heart Palpitationheadache, backache, some- times .fainting 'spells and always nerv- ousness. If anaemia or bloodlessness he neglected too long a decline is sure tofollow. Justa little more blood fcures all these ti.oubles.

No other medi- cine increases the pare , blood supply so cpickly or so surely. The cure actu- ally begins With the first dose, though. naturally it is not noticeable. This is not a mere claim. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have been ;doing this over : and 1 over again in Canada for more than a quarter of a century. This is why thousands have always a good word to say for this great medicine, for in- stance Mrs. Alex. Gillis, Glenville, N. S., says: "I cannot praise Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills too highly. They are really a wonderful medicine. 1 was very much run down, suffered from frequent dizzy spells, and had an al- most constant severe pain in the hack. My hone work was a sourceof dread, I felt so weak, and life held but little enjoyment. Then° I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and the result was almost marvellous. They made me feel like a new woman and 'fully restored my. health. I would urge every weak woman to give these pills a fair trial."

GERMANY WANTS PEACE. Extracts From. a Conversation With a Gerni an Diploma tist, One niay regard the old war, apirit as definitely dead in Germany. Every one wants peace, even the Junker class. The peace movement is very strong 'amongthe commercial and working classes, and at the 'court it- self every one professes horror at the continuation of the slaughter. All ideas of _annexation and i'ndeninity. have vanished. On the other hand, no one thinks that the Allies rim im- pose peace terms on. Germany. "Life in court .circles is very dull. The Emperor is constantly at ' the front, and the Empress—in pleasant contrast 'to,rnost ladies of the court. —is' anenthusiastic war worker, If the neW compulsory civilian service is :fairly applied to women, -the ladies of the aristocracy will suffer' Most." It appears thatno one, not even his old-time ntilita:y friends, has a good word to say for. the Crown Prince. A joke among hostesses, amusing at first; but since become tiresome, is to whisper to their favor- ite gaiests when the Crown Prince is present Not a word about Verelan.

Collar and Loop Pockets pleats are very freely used, and this means that a good deal of material is used in a dress or skirt. The :pleats hang in straight lines, generally un - stitched, while in some cases they are stitched, as far as the hips and below that point are pressed into position The gradual lengthening of skirts that has come with the vague for straighter lines is noticeable in many. dresses; but women, on the whole, have;,not taken 'readily to the longer• skirts, and the short skirt for street costumes is still favored by a great many. A long street skirt is really not gracefulin a tailored suit, and women are not willing to sacrifice be- coming styles so readily. In afternoon and evening dresses, however, the longer skirt is not at all ungraceful. Some afternoon and evening dr:esses'show slight variations from the straight -lines.

KEEP LITTLE ONES The Only Reason. WELL ` IN WINTER Winter is a dangerous season for the little ones. The days are so changeable—one bright, the next cold and stormy, that the mother is afraid to take the children out for the fresh air and exercise they need so much. i In consequence they are often cooped up in overheated, , badly 'ventilated, rooms and are soon seized with colds l or grippe. What is needed to keep the little ones .well is Baby's'Own Tablets. They will regulate the stomach and bowels and drive out colds and by their use the baby will be able to get over the winter season in perfect safety.
