It is interesting to stand behind a battery of British howitzers and watch the guns in action. The men show the high morale which is in evi- dence throughout the British Army. They whistle and ; sing and bandy grim jests as they. work. As the firing butzson is pressed the crew jumps bacl for a moment from the gun carriage, but have leaped again to' their allotted posts before the easy acting recoil has returned the mammoth weapon to its original position. It is easy to dis- tinguish the scream of a departing projectile from ' one which is being sent in 'return- by the Germans, anis the onlooker can watch without diffi- culty the black base of a British shell as it travels in a long loop. Mrs. II. J. Tennant Assistant director of the Woman's Department' of National Service in Britain. Mrs. Tennant is the second wife of the Right Hon. Harold John .Cenpant, Under-Secretary for ;War in the Asquith Cabinet. Later, in the Coalition Government, he was e Secretary for Scotland. Mrs. Ten- nant, who was known before her marriage (in 1896) as Miss May Edith Abraham, is a daughter of Mr. George Whitley Abraham, of Rath - gar, Co. Dublin. She was formerly a Government Superintendent Inspector of Factories; .and did a great deal to bring about improvements in the con- { ditions of women's work, and to cause the laws protecting them to be observ- ed. Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Tennant have four sons and one daughter. The eld- est son, Henry, is a lieutenant in the Dragoons. The forward movement of the Brit- ish on so wide a front has brought into play all the machinery .of motion in warfare. Roads seem to spring up overnight in most unexpected places. Railways have audaciously flung themselves forward regardless of mud and shell holes, and with a com- pleteness which even"includesmost pretentious sign posts bearing the names of French • villages es which. exist g now only as geographical remnants. It is also a revelation of the intensely practical side of modern' war to see a six-inch water main stretching itself into territory but recently occupiedby the Germans. Road -building has called into play all the ingenuity of pioneer 'bat- talions, composed not only of experi- enced British workmen, but of real pioneers from the prairies and moun- tains of Canada and the far lands of ' Australasia and South Africa. Road material is scarce in the stricken wil- derness of No Man's. Land, but the re- fuse of battle often serves the pur- pose during the first hours of a new forward move. Broken rifles, bits of clothing, fragments of shells and oc- casionally a few shells themselves' that fail to explode are used in the founda- tion of the new paths. The remains of a recently evacuated village bring great joy to the pioneers, for • that means a temporary supply at least of much desired broken brick and stone. • Fooled 'Em. "It is remarkable," said Mr. Grunt ler, "how mean some people are. I had with me on a fishing trip two friends who evidently were familiar. with my reputation as an angler. Be- fore starting, one of them made the following suggestion: 'We will agree that the first one who catches a fish must treat the crowd.' I; assented to this, and we started. Now, don't. you know, those two felows both had a bite, and were too mean to pull them up. "1 suppose you lost, then?" remark- ed the friend. "Oh, no," replied Mr. Gruntler.' "I didn't have any bait on my hoop." 11111111111111111110 Crape -Nuts contains the rich supplies of phosphate of potash grown in wheat and barley.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People ' are an all year round tonic, blood -builder and nerve -restorer. But they are especially valuable in the spring when the system is loaded with impurities as a result of the indoor life of the winter months. There o s. is no otherea s son whei>rt the blood is so much in need of purifying and en- riching,' and' every dose of these pills' helps to make new, rich, red blood. In the spring one feels weak and tired —Dr. Williams' Pink Pills give strength. In the spring the appetite is often poor—Dr. ,Williams' Pink Pills develop the appetite, tone the stomach and aid weak digestion. It is in the spring' -that poisons in the blood find -'an outlet in disfiguring pimples, eruptions and boils -Dr. Williams' Pink Pills speedily, clear the skin because they go to the root of the trouble in the blood. In the spring anaemia, rheumatism, indiges- tion, neuralgia, erysipelas and many other troubles are most persistent be- cause of ? poor, weak blood, and it is at this time when all nature, takes on new life that the blood most seriously needs attention. Some people dose themselves with purgatives _ at this season, but these only further weaken themselves. - A. purgative merely gallops through the system, empty- ing the bowels, but it does not cure anything. On the other hand Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood which reaches every nerve and organ in the body, bringing new strength, new health and vigor ' to weak, easily tired men, women and. children. Try Dr, Williams' Pink Pills this spring—they will not disap- point you.

Heads Are Only Kept Above Water by the Help Sent to Them. "1 don't know any better way in which to picture the state of the Bel- gian nation to -day than to compare them to a drowning man; who is al- most on the point of exhaustion, and who is only saved from drowning by a friend holding his head : above. water." Such was the statement made re- cently by a member of the Central Belgian Relief Committee at Mont- real. "The Belgian nation," `he said, "are absolutely at that point 'where they can see the golden sun of: deliverance rising on the horizon, but will in- evitably -perish before the deliverance cozies unless stronger and more for- tunate people hold their, heads above the ocean of want which is threaten- ing to engulf them. Frons day to day a very large pro- portion of the population exist only on the scanty allowances which the Bel- gian Relief Commission is able to hand out to them through the organiz- ation thcy have covering 'thal unhappy land. "So great is the need that the com- mission has to collect the children in the schools every day and feed them- selves, so that parents shall not give faVorite children more than the coin- neon allowance, and so cause others to• run short. Fancy tho appalling con- ditions which bring about such a,state of things as this! "We in this country do not know what a real food shortage means. We live in peace"arid : plenty.

White Terrier Who Wns. a Patient In a French Hospital.' I4 A British soldier stationed at one of the hospitals in Prance tells of a pleasing incident in which a deg play- ed the main part; We have had an unusual patient, he writes. A little write terrier came trotting in with rather a nasty gash in his side. He went straight into the receiving room and virtually asked to have his wound dressed. An officer dressed it and sent him off. He re.- turned twice at diferent times during the day to have the dressing changed. Be turned up the nexttmorning, and, for a joke, a sergeant made out a pro- per sick report and sent it along with the sick reports of the chaps who had reported for treatment that morning. In due course the medical officer came to this report and called out, "Trooper Gyp, Eighth D.L.I."—the heading that the sergeant had put on the report. The initials in this in- stance stood for "Doggy's Light In- fantry." Of course there was no answer, The 'medical officer glanced at the sick chaps waiting for attention, and again called out, "Which of you "is Trooper Gyp?" Just then the sergeant entered and explained matters. The medical of- fiver took, the joke in good part, dress:- ed. ress-ed. the dog's wounds and entered him in proper fashion: "Shell wound in side; admitted into hospital." Gyp has now taken up his quarters in the park store, and nothing can per- suade'him to move, He goes out for a strollv e ezy morning but always re- turns. He has, however, been promot- ed, and is now Capt. Gyp, Eighth D.L.I. YP----- S:...:411SFIEP:i0THERS No other medicine gives as great. satisfadtion to mothers as does Baby's Own Tablets.

SUBMARINE WARFARE.. • Methods Employed' by British and French in Fighting U -Boats. i There are two general methods in vogue for "eliminating” submarines, says an English writer. The French are given to "spearing". from aeroplanes. As nearly as may be learned, the operators fly at consider- able height until they catch sight of a possible victim. Then they dive within range and endeavor to land a bomb where it will do the most good. The British commonly employ a less spectacular method. They trawl as they would for food -fish. If they net a submersible, they telegraph down by the Morse code to it to come up or be blown up. It is rather instructive to note how each nation employs the implements with which it is especially familiar. The French are beyond all other na- tions masters' of the air; the British, of the seas. The British naturally must have the most to show for their efforts because of their habit of taking submersibles "alive," buttherea • statistics , are no statist cs to prove which method of operation is actually the more productive. In, fair fight, a trawler has all the best of it, and the Germans have come to'realize'this. The boats are heavily timbered and they can well stand the kind of attack .which a subsea -boat can deliver with its light guns, al- though one shell from the trawler means the destruction of the U-boat if it lands fair. That is why you Al- ways hear of U-boats, though they may summon a trawler by gun -fire to the aid of a doomed vessel's crew, al- ways submerging before the rescuer arrives. And that is why we believe the arming of all merchantmen will defeat Germany's last move. TANKS OF 1860. These Were Much Smaller Than the Present Ones'.. French "tanks" existed as far back as 1850, or rather they were invented then by a Frenchman named Balbi, and su"bmitted.for the approval of Na- poleon III. Balbi-called them "moving fortresses," and, in the absence of ex- plosion :,motors, used' steam as a driv- ing power. They were Much smaller affairs than the present' "tanks," mounting only two guns, but fitted so that quite a number of men could ride in them and use their rifles. They were ironclad. and sufficiently armed to resist any artillery ofthose days. They were provided with lances and. shears worked by steam, and which when put into movement revolved rapidly and continuously around the base of the' fortress in a manner to cut anything to pieces that got in its way. A special system of flexible axles was employed, enabling the contriv- ance to go over any kind of ground and to manoeuvre in any direction. Notwithstanding that the few ma- chines made . of this pattern gave every promise of success in a series of exhaustive trials, they were- never adopted by thearmy, and those that were constructed now figure, dilapi- dated and neglected, among the relics of the artillery museum.

Montreal Wonderful Story Bad Case of Bright's Disease Cured by JJedd's Kidney Pills. George Sullivan, Who Suffered From The Dread Disease for Two Years Gives Credit for His Recovery to Dodd's Kidney Pills. Montreal, Que., Apr. 9th, (Special.) —Completely cured of that .most dreaded of all diseases, Bright's Dis- ease of the kidneys, Mr. George Sul- livan, 284 de St. Valiers St., this city, is spreading the good news that he found his cure in Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I suffered' from Bright's Disease for twoyears,"Mr Sullivan states S in an interview. "I was unable to work for weeks at a time. I spent hun- dreds of dollars on doctors without re- ceiving any real benefit and received outdoor treatment at the Montreal General Hospital. "I was feeling very badly discour- aged when a friend advised' me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. After using three boxes I was much better. T kept on `till I had used nine boxes, when I was completely cured. "Naturally I consider. Dodd's Kid- ney !- ney Pills a wonderful remedy." Dodd's. Kidney Pills are no cure-all. They cure kidney diseases of all kinds from backache to Bright's Disease. The proof of this is their growing popularity in Canada for over a quar- ter of a century.
