'Why not try Dr. Wood's Norway

other remedy I had heard of, to no avail,

remedy a trial. I purchased a 50 cent
bottle, and in three days I was feeling

and the coughing so prolonged, that
vomiting occurred after a hard spell of
coughing. ` I carried the bottle in my
pocket, and every time I was seized with
a coughing spell 1 would take a small dose.
I can most heartily recommend Dr.
Wood's Norway Pine Syrup to anyone
with a severe cold, as its powers are most
marvelous, and I never intend being

Arn)y aviator Shoots Aloft Now
s--- Without it Wait for Weather.
E. Percy Noel, writing from
Paris, says that although overland
aviation was considered dangerous
at the 'beginning of the war, there
were many aviators whose long ex-
perience and continued activity in-
dicated that flying could be enjoyed
without fatal accident. But we
well knew that to fly safely requir-
ed cautiousness before leaving the
ground and while in the .air. The
aviatur examined his machine first,
then the weather, and he did nut
go out unless both suited him. War
aviatiun is different. The aeroplane
may need a few parts, may be in
danger of collapsing in the air, but
that will not keep the airman from
attempting important duty with it.
As for the weather—pouff l .
Now that there are guns of sev-
enteen varieties fired from below
and bumbs of adversary aeroplanes
dropped from above and rapid fire
guns that shoot in any direction,
we 'begin to realize how safe avia-
tion was ,before the war. Even
` without the factor.of danger; from
the eneni3e'•s fire, there is a great in-
crease in the risk. Certainly the
ordinary hazards of aeroplane pil-
otage have 'been doubled. The un -

aeroplane stations and become

' In spite of the known dangers, +f
the unromantic deaths of student
pilots and veteran pilots—men kill-

of applications for the air services
of France and England, and un-
doubtedly of Russia and Germany
as well, exceeds the pilot making

War News
A footed Her..
Many people who have been reading
the terrible war news from day to day,
, especially those who have relatives at
the seat of war, have become so nervous
that it is impossible for them to sleep.
The nerves have become unstrung and
the heart perhaps affected.
Milburn's heart and Nerve Pills will
build lige the unstrung nervous system
and stir gthen the weak heart.
Miss I-Tildia Dicaire, Martintown,
Ont., writes: "In August, 1014, I was
out of school for my health. I was visit.
ing friends in London, and heard of the
war. It made me so nervous that I
could not sleep, but after using Mil -

greatly, and could take my school again.

.leu Who Have Won the Victoria
Cross Twice 6r More.
The clasp granted to Lieut. Ar-
thus Martin. Leake, R.A.M.C., to
the Victoria Cross which he won in
the South African war is the first
ever awarded in the history of that
supreme decoration.
"It is ordained that anyone who,
after having received the Cross,
shall again perform an act of brav-
ery, which, if he had not received
such Cross, would have entitled him
to it, such further act shall be re-
corded by a Bar attached to the
riband :by which the Cross is sus-
pended, and for every additional
act of bravery an additional Bar
may be added."
This is the passage in the Royal
Warrant of February 5, 1856, es•
tablishing the Victoria Cross,
which provides for a. possibility
which has now been realized.
Lieut. Martin Leake, who won
the Cross for gallantry at Vlakfon-
tein in 1902, was then serving with
Baden-Powell's Police, having gone
out to South Africa with the Hert-
fordshire Yeomanry.
He is a medical man, trained at
t?niversity College Hospital, and
on his return to England he went
into private practice at Ware,
Hertfordshire. In September last
he re-entered the army and was
given a commission in the R.A.M.C.
It has frequently' been stated that
Clasps have been won by heroes in
the past, but the "Gazette" con-
tains no record of such an event.
The late Sir Charles John Stanley
Gough, one of two famous brothers
who won the Cross in the Indian
Mutiny, was credited with possess-
ing three Bars. It is true that he
was decorated for no fewer than
four conspicuous and separate acts
of bravery, one of which was saving
the life of his brother, Lieut. Hugh
Gough, who also won .the V.C., but
he was not gazetted until October
21, 1859, when these yarious acts
were enumerated.
Major Berryman, a Crimean vet-
eran, who was "mentioned" for his
bravery on four occasions, was an-
other V.C. wearer supposed to pos-
sess a Bar, but he himself denied
it.
If London Starved.
Facing the almost impossible con-
tingency of London being 'block-
aded, and upon starvation rations,
one wonders whether the animals :n
the Zoo, at Regent's Park, would
be slaughtered, as was the ease
with all the animals in the Parisian
Zoo in 1870—sonde 45 years ago—
during the siege of the Gay City,
says London Answers. Bear steaks
and elephant cutlets were regarded
as the ,greatest of luxuries, after
the ordinary courses of a menu of
the farmyard description had long
since become unpurchasable. The
prices that poultry and other arti-
cles fetched seem beyond belief.
Turkeys cost 100 francs (4) each,
and upwards. A goose would fetch
60 francs, while a sovereign was the
price for a little fowl. Vegetables
were equally expensive, and those
who indulged in the luxury of car-
rots, turnips, and potatoes .had to
pay as much as fivepence each for
the two first -named, while the com
mon or garden "spud" would fetch
as much as a couple of pounds sterl-
ing per bushel. The feline quadru-
ped was in great demand, and cats
were disguised in many a pie as
rabbits, while the flesh of dogs was
worth half-a-crown a pound, and of
horses three to four shillings.
In some streets of Paris oil still
is used as an illuminant, neither
gas nor electricity .having been in-
troduced.

as the vast Empire which ,notches
from the I3altic in the \Peet to the
Pacific in the East, and. from. 'the

England's ally, Russia.
But the greater part of its 175,•
000,000 population, the bulk of the
Russian i>eo•ple, are the 11N),000,000
Russian peasants, or, as they are
generally called "the Muujiks."
Although scattered in a country
with climates uf the greatest var-
iety, they are very similar in halaits
and customs, and what can be said
of the ?vfoujik in cold Siberia is
South of the I:tussiain peasant.
.4 Child of Nature.
Civilization, as it is understood
in this country, has not made its
way vet to the Russian Moujik ; he
is still very much a child of Nature.
Love, hatred, joy, and sorrow he
shows without disguise ; he is not
violent in the expression of any
emotion, yet he feels deeply. He is
not emotional, but always inclined
to melancholic contemplation; per-
severing, even obstinate, yet eas-
ily persuaded and easily led any-
where ; cunning, and at the same
time simple-minded, and with a
child's faith.
The'Slav character at its best can
be observed in that big, bearded
fellow who believes in 'God, the
Tsar, and his country.
What are his needs in life? A
small two or three roomed house, a
small field,'some cattle—and he is
satisfied. If he is not hungry, if he
has a shelter over his bead without
the rain passing through it, he con-
siders himself happy. Greediness,
passion for money, is very rare
among the Moujiks; all his ambi•
tions and dreams are another acre
of land, one more horse or ox.
A large family is not considered
a burden, as every member, whe-
ther male or female, works and
helps. Therefore, early marriages,
such as are unknown in other coun-
tries, are very frequent. Fathers
of nineteen and mothers of even a
younger age are nut rare. The pa-
triarchal family life still exists; the
father is head of the family, his de-
cisions 'being indisputable.
When the son married, if not liv-
ing separately, he brings his wife
to his parents, so that the hus-
band's family is always the winner
by getting a new working member.
Marriages are still contracted in
very many cases by the choice of
the parents, and the parties whom
it most concerns are seldom con-
sulted. Yet such marriages are n:,
less happy than those in which the
choice is given to the young people
themselves.
With Few Pleasures.
The amusements of the Moujik
are very few. Dances in the long
winter evenings, where many a. love
affair begins to bud, by the music
of accordeons, or "harmonicas,"
the Russian national instrument,
girls' choirs, or bhe famous /'Kho-
rovods" in summer, with a few
quaint customs, such as masquer-
ading at Christmas, fortune-telling
on. the eve of New Year's day, that
is all which relieves the monotony
of the village -life.
Owing to the vast area of Rus-
sia, and the few railways, thous-
ands upon thousands of villages
are at a great distance from the
bustle of city lifer The visit of. a
nomadic merchant who travels
about in his cart all the year round
with a stook of wares to villages is
this or that province, covering
thousands of miles, is quite an
event in the monotonous life of the
village population. The newspaper
is still a. luxury to the Russian Mou-
jik, and all news of the outer world
is brought to him by these mer-
chants.
The Moujik is patriotic, but, his
patriotism does not resemble what
it generally understood by this
word. He is not Imperialistic; he
does not think of the extension of
his country. Firstly, because he
knows she is enormous; seeo•ndly,
he thinks that nothing exists out-
side her is worth having. He is
very peaceful; a. warlike spirit is a
thing unknown to him; ;but if he is
ordered to fight for his country, he
will go doggedly forward. If push-
ed 'basic, he will resume his nnaroh
—never tiring, never despairing
with obstinate constancy. He will
die without hatred and without re-
gret, as he knows it is for his "lit-
tle mother," Russia.

Some Stories of Wounded Soldiers
Now in London Hospital.
Among the many curious eases of
wounds which have been investi-
gated by the X-rays at St. Bartho-
lomew's Hospital in London is one
in which a German bullet was
found imbedded in the muscular
part of a soldier's heart.
The radiographer who located
the bullet said that it entered the
man's left shoulder and burrowed
downward. The amazing feature of
the case was that after the soldier
had been hit he walked for a mile
and a half to an ambulance. He did
not realize that be was wounded,
he said, until he saw a few splashes
of blood.
The bullet was not removed, and
the man lived' afterward.
This is by no means an isolated
Mase of a. anon 'living and even of
following some occupation, with a
foreign body in a vital part. Two
interesting radiographs in the lab-
oratory at St. Bartholomew's Hos-
pital illustrate this. One is of a
German bullet imbedded in the
right lung, It measures about one
and a quarter inches lung, and the
delineation is perfect. The other
shows*, number of pieces of slhrap-
ne:l in the skull cavity at the base
of the eye underneath the brain.
The shrapnel entered one side of
the cheek and penetrated through.

Three 'timely flints.
If you are one of these unfortun-
ate persons to whom the winter and
spring bring a series of eolds and
chills you might ponder over the
following three tips, and give them
at least a trial. When you are go-
ing to a place of worship, lecture,
concert, or similar place, earry
your overcoat on your arm as you
go. The exercise of walking will
keep you warm. Arrived, don your
coat. The habit uf removing it and
sitting down means that the body
rapidly chills, with elle result that
colds come. Draughts and germs
have been blamed, but the forego
ing is often the real cause. And,
instead of wearing your neck Inuf•
fler or scarf in the usual way, with
the ends in front, reverse. Thera,
i•s no V opening at the neck then
for winds to •searcth. The third tip
is t:, .have your waistcoat made of
the Snn)e material at the back u'
the front, and cut deeper. The back
is a most vulnerable slot, and tail-
ors, for some reason, leave it the
lees protected. The above three
uotl tills should mean no bad colds.
THE WEAK SPOT
I THE BACK.
When the kidneys get ill the back
gives out.
But the back is not to blame.
The ache comes from the kidneys,
which lie tender the small of the back.
'.therefore, dull pain in the back, or
sharp, quick twinges, are warnings of
sick kidneys --warnings of kidney trouble.
Plasters and liniments will not cure
a bad back, for they cannot reach the
kidneys which canoe it.
Doan's Kidney Pills reach the kidneys
themselves. They are a special kidney
and bladder medicine. They heal the
diseased surface of kidneys and bladder,
and help them to act freely and naturally.
