OUR NEW ALLY, BRAZIL.
Seine Facts About the South -American
Republic.
The federal republic of Brazil is
the largest state in South America,
and is greater in area than European
Russia; Austria-Hungary, ,Germany,
France, Norway and Sweden, Den-
mark, Italy and Greece put together.
The population of Brazil is esti-
mated at about 16,000,000, including
1,500,000 Italians, 1,000,000 Portu-
guese and 250,000 Germans.
'Brazil was formerly an empire, but
at the revolution of 1889 the empire
became a republic and Dom Pedro II.,
the then emperor, was exiled. -
The national congress,. the legisla-
tive authority of Brazil, consists of
a chamber of deputies and a senate,
which meets annually, but no laws can
be passed without the president's
sanction.
The army of Brazil consists of 40,-
000 men, besides 20,000 gendarmerie.
Brazil is the naval power of South
America, and its navy consists . of
three dreadnoughts, two old battle-
ships, five protected cruisers and
other smaller craft, including eleven
torpedo boat destroyers and four sub-
marines.
Rio de Janeiro, the capital, with a
_, population of over 1,000,000 inhabit-
ants, is the largest city in South
America; it stands on the west side
of the bay, of,.. Rio de Janeiro, the
most magnificent natural harbor in
the world.
About three .miles -southwest of the
city stands the precipitous cone of
Corcovado, nearly 3,000 feet high, up
which a cog railway carries 100,000
visitors every year to enjoy what is
considered the most magnificent view
in the world.
It is commonly said that the Ama-
zon, the largest river in Brazil, to its,
remotest source is nearly 4,000 miles
long, but this fact has been frequent-
" 1 contradicted.
con rad t cted.
Brazil is immensely rich, and the
minerals are very considerable and
valuable, comprising gold, silver, iron,
diamonds, topazes and other precious
stones.
Cattle raising is the most import-
ant industry in Brazil, the number be-
ing computed at 20,000,000.
The chief products of the country
are coffee, rubber and sugar cane.
There are 15,445 miles of ` railroad
open in Brazil and 1,683 miles under
construction.
The official language of Brazil is
Portuguese.

JUST EIGHT.
I'm just turned eight- years old to -day.
That's getting pretty old, but "say
I witht it didn't take so long
To grow up really big and strong,
Like Dad. For Dad, he's awful tall,
And nothin' can't scare him at all;
That's why he's went away to war.
1 don't know what this fightin's for,
That is, not altogether quite.
But I know this, that when't comes
night
I wish I hacl my Dad. At tea
It's awful lonesome, just us three.
'N then when Sis bedtime comes
There ain't ho Dad to do my sums.
But ma, she says that's for the rig/.it
That dacldy'r, went away to fight,
'N then she looks all light an' glad
A'thinkin' of how brave is Dad
'N then she Balls me sonny -man
'N pats my head and says I cal,
Grow big an' brae* like ' him, an'
strong
By dein' nothin' mean or wrong,
'N then she kisses me an' cries
'N turns away to hide her eyes.
Say, don't I wislit I was all grown;
I'd take my gun, an' all alone
I'cl nalce them wicked Germans run
'N wisht they'd never seen my gun;
I'd wipe 'em all clean off the map,
'N bring my great, big Daddy back.
But then I'm only eight, you see,
'N have to grow lots 'fore I'll be
As big as Dad. But yet you know
What Ma says must be right, and so
I'll help to grow a big, brave man
By bein' the goodest boy I -can. ,

LINGERING WEAKNESS
FOLLOWINGDISEASE
U
Banished by the Wonderful
Tonic Powers of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills.
How often.- victims of disease such'
as la grippe, fevers, or contagious
troubles are left weak, ailing and des-
pondent after the disease itself has
disappeared. They do not pick up
strength as they ought; remain list-
less tired and discouraged. The rea-
son for this is that the blood has
been impoverished by the ravage of
the disease through which the victim
has passed. Strength will not re-
turn until the blood has been enrich-
ed. The blood can be purified and
enriched by no other medicine as
quickly and as surely as by Dr. Wil-
Iiams Pink Pills -to enrich the blood
and strengthen the nerves is the
whole mission of these pills.. Thou-
sands have found them beneficial in
bringing strength and energy after
disease had left them weak and run
down. Miss Hannah Hamilton, Ev-
erett, Ont., says:—"After an attack of
la grippe I was so run down and
anaemic that I could scarcely ' walk.
I had no color, no appetite, and con-
stant headaches . The- medicine I
was taking was doing me no good and
I had almost lost hope of getting bet--
ter.
et=ter. I was asked to try Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, and it was not long until I
could feel that they were helping me,
and after taking them for a couple
of months I was completely cured. I
now never fail to recommend these
pills to anyone needing a blood build-
er." '"
You can get these pills through any
dealer in medicine or by mail postpaid
at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for
$2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medi-
cine Co., Brockville, Ont.
A MATTER OF CLIMATE.
Effect of the Atmosphere on Human
Speech.
What makes the German and Rus-
sian languages so harsh and guttural,
so unpleasant to the ear, and the lang-
uages of Italy, prance and Spain so
fluent, mellifluous and charming?
The .former are rasping and sharp,
the latter liquid and soothing.
Science explains this, ae-it does most
of the commonplace phenomena, by
simple, natural means. •
It is all a matter of climate. For
countless generations the people of the
cold countries to the north went about
bundled up, protecting themselves
from the biting cold weather. They
spoke little and when they did they
spoke as briefly as possible with clos-
ed mouths, not opening their lips any
wider than necessary to: form the
words.
This restricted their language, mak-
ing it
naking"it harsh and guttural. The words
were formed in the back of the mouth.
In the south lands, where nature
was more kindly, the weather never
hampered people, so. There the full-
ness of nature inspired them to open-
ness of expression; the tropical clim-
ate made them emotional, . romantic;
sensuous. They had more
freedom.
-
Poetry .crept into their speech, for
Poetry was in the blue Mediterranean,
the blue sky, the highly colored fields,
Warmth made them comfortable and
increased their passions. Their langu-
age was rapid, swelling and volum-
inous, explosive. They formed their
words in liquid syllables, for those
come easiest and axe formed with
wide open mouths.
Yes, Stili!
"It's this way in the black -land belt
now," said the New York Evening
Post's :friend from Texas: "Cotton's so
high that a farmer comes into Dallas,'
eats a -square meal at one of the best
hotels, puts down a cotton seed, and
gets'fifteen cents change. Yes, suh!"

Low An Aviator Narrowly Missed
Death Near Antwerp.
What thrills can be keener than the
thrills of an aviator? Supreme suc-
cesses, the narrowest of narrow es-
capes, disappointments and tragedies,
follow one another swiftly in the lives
of the winged soldiers who are fight-
ing in Europe. What were the
thoughts of Lieut. Robinson when he
brought down the Zeppelin over Lon
don, and what was in his mind when
recently the hostile guns brought him,
down in France? Perhaps it is be-
yond the power of words to express
them.
In Tales of the Flying Services, Mr.
C. G. Grey tells of a great disappoint-
ment and an extremely narrow es-
cape that fell to the lot of a young
aviator at about the time Antwerp fell.
Late one afternoon this officer was out
on duty, when far away to the eas
he spied a long, pale shape shining i
the sun. It was obviously mile
away. He had already been in th
air for some time, but he knew jus
how much gasoline he had in his to
when he started and how long he cotild
fly before he would have to come
down. He •decided to chase the thing
for half an hour; that would leave
him. a shade over half an hour's fuel
with which to get home. Off he
went.
As he got closer it became clear that
the object was on the ground, and dis-
tinctly yellow in color, which proved
that it wash not a Zeppelin, for all Zep-
pelins are.gray. The sizeshowed

that it was not a Parseval; and so h
began to think that he had discovered
something rea:.ly new. Still won-
dering, he came down lower. Then,
suddenly, he saw how he had been sold.
His colossal airship was a long, thin
strip of overripe grain along the' side
of a hill that had been lighted up by
the rays -of the setting sun.
Sadly and swiftly he made his way
toward home, wondering whether he
could reach it, for in his enthusiasm
he had overstayed his allotted time
At the height at which he was flying
he was well in the sun, but underneath
it was dusk. He could just see the
course of canals and rivers gleamin
out, of the darkness. In that part of
Belgium there is almost always flat
ground on each side of the canals, and
he made up his mind to land parallel
to a watercourse of some kind.
By this time he calculated that he
must be over territory held by Bel-
gians or by British, and not by Ger-
mans.' So he edged gently downward,
and when he thought his gasoline must
be nearly all gone, ' he made for a
gleam of water,
Very gently he let his machine down
until the water alongside which he was
flying appeared nearly on his own
level. Tien he switched off his en-
gine and glided slowly along, anxious-
ly -feeling for the ground he could not
see. The wheels touched, then the
tail skid felt the ground, and without a
jar the machine came to rest. The
pilot heaved a sigh of relief and climb-
ed out.
Once on the ground he was able to
see nearby objects fairly well, but, as
he walked round to the front of the
machine, the. ground before him sud-
denly vanished. Cautiously he ap-
proached the limit of visible grass and
discovered to`":his honor that the nza
chine had pulled up on the very edge
of a deep, disused gravel ,pit. Two
yards more and the wheels would have
run over the edge, the tail would have
lifted, and the. machiny would have
plunged forty or fifty feet into a
stagnant pool, where he would cer-
tainly 'have been drowned if he had
not been killed by the fall.

Private Jenkins: "Well, there's one

Wireless in Warfare.
Guglielmo Marconi, senator in the
Italian Parliament, captain in the
Italian navy, and inventor of the wire-
less, when asked recently what he
thought the greatest single accom-
plishment of the wireless had been in
the present war, answered: Its use by
aeroplanes. The wireless has revo-
lutionized artillery action. Hereto-
fore the gunner did not know whether
his shot landed accurately or not..
Guns are frequently placed in such a
way that the hills intervening cut, off
direct observation. But 'nowadays a
big gun might be located on low
ground and,:actuaily shoot over an ele-
vation to 'how ground on the other
side and be sure of its aim and range.
For the wireless constitutes the eyes
of the gun, Aviators remain in the
air above the position that is attacked.
They watch each shot. As it falls
they reportback by wireless whether
it, is too far or too short. In less'

Our Natural Resources.
One of the -great movements of the
present time is the movement for con-

We have gone on as if the world were
coming to an end when we were dead.
Now we are getting a better perspec-
tive. The conservation movement, as
was natural, was at first most con-
spicuously .identified with the conser-
vation of otir forests and our water
power, but it must extend beyond the
forests and water power. It must
more immediately concern itself with
the conservation of the soil, for even
our brief history tells •us that fertile
fields may become abandoned farms
through other causes than lack of
rainf all.

Let folks step on your feet here-

electric sparks of pain through you,
according to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops of a drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a • tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the. corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding tissue.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove' every hard
or soft corn or callus from one's foot.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle of freezone for you from his
