General Terms and -Lets Officer's Work Out Details. .After the dark and gloomy days, when at one time it seemed as though Russia's army would not escape the grip of Von Hindenburg, the Czar's forces turned, as did the French and British at the Marne, and ziot only checked the German advance, but smote the enemy with such effect that they coinpelled them to retreat and evacuate paces they had won et fear - 'fu cost. The, who engineeredthis mag- nificent o tensive movement, General Ivanoff, is to -day the hero of Russia, while the grudging admissions of the Germans that "Ivanoff operdted with good fortune" shows how they respect and fear him. General Ivanoff was not unknown before the war. As head of the fort- ressr a tlllery at Icronstadt, he was re- sponsible for introducing many new methods of training which resulted in bringing the Russian artillery up to the highest pitch of perfection. Ori- ginal in his methods, he does not be- lieve in placing discipline first and individual capacity second. He is fond of saying that the first thing a young artillery officer has to remem- ber is that he has a head, which he has to keep cool in all circumstances and to use to the best of his ability. Strict execution of orders alone does not count much with hint. "Were a hundred guns thundering about the general's ears," says one who knows Ivanoff intimately, "he wo 1•?;d,still light his cigarette without a tifjnor and inquire casually of any- one -'who might • know about the health of his family. He sleeps a normal eight hours only on the eve of great battles and great events, when, as he says, one; has to keep his head cool." Officers love to work under Ivanoff, for he is a soldier who is always giv- ing his men opportunities of distin- guishing themselves. He issues his orders only in general terms, demand- ing that all details shall be worked out by subordinate officers, thus de-' veloping independent thinking and initiative among them. And they well know that should they succeed in carrying out and executing some suc- cessful strategic movement on their own initiative, the general will be the first to see that it is brought to the notice of those high in authority in order that the officer may be duly re-, warded. One of the greatest strategists Rus- sia has ever possessed, General Ivan - hofs: has many military achievements to his credit. Incidentally it might be mentioned that it was he who intro • - duced the new "-node of simultaneous firing by all etfast batteries, which was adopted later on•by the coast fortresses in Russia, and which ren- dered such good service in the defence of Rort•4Arthur. .11 RED CROSS_ PUBLICITY. Good Work of Information Depart. ment'of Canadian Red Cross. The Information Department at the headquarters of the Canadian Red Cross Society in London is a vital link in the line of communication be- tween the soldier in hospital and his friends and relatives at home._ Only trio often when a soldier is missing or has died on the field of battle it is the only medium whereby a soldier's relatives can learn • details of , his safety or of his last moments. This department carries on an im- mense correspondence with reference to the wounded in hospitals. The dis- embarkation officers at Dover, Sand- wich and other ports, and the com- mandants of every military hospital, in France and England, are , supplied with Canadian Red Cross post cards, blue in color, already stamped and addressed to the London IIeadquar- ters. As soon as a wounded Cana- dian soldier reaches a hospital the pews of his arrival is despatched to London. The department has a large staff of officers, both English and Canadian, in all parts of France and England. One of these is given the name on the blue card, visits the soldier, finds. out his needs, and makes 'a weekly re- port to the Information Department. These reports sometimes number 500 Ar 600 a .day. A staff of assistants make use this this information to write Tetters to t'he relatives in Canada un; til the prisoner is able to conduct his correspondence himself. These letters are signed by one of the Hon. Seers- taries, and stamped with the name of. the Commissioner, Col Hogetts. The blue card is also sent at once to the parcel department, which am- niediately forwards an individual per - cel to the man in hospital, With it goes a stamped post card with the words, "Is there anyhing more we .,can do for you'?" ,,,,;e1i. ditional parcels are sent, eont$innng what the soldier has expressed a wish for. The material for all this work comes from the Red Cross branches in Canada. Without a steady stream Of supplies the system would break down in no time. It is the untiring workers in every province and town in the Dominion who provide the sinewsfor the Red Cress war and Make its beneficent action possible: HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM The Disease is in the Blood and Must De Treated Through the Blood. There are almost as many ways of treating rheumatistir as there are doe tors. Most of these treatments are directed at the symptoms and are con sidered successful if they relieve the painand the stiffness. But the pain and the stiffness return particularly if the patient has been exposed to dampness. This shows that the poi- son was not driven from the systeni by the treatment employed. Rheuma- tism can be relieved in a number of ways, but there is only one way to cure it, and that is through the blood, expelling , the 'poisonous acid that causes the aches and, pains and stiff- ness. To renew and nrich the blood ' there is no medicine can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which go right to the root of the trouble and cure rheumatism to stay cured. The fol- lowing is an example of what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can do in cases of this kind. { Mr. Henry Smith, St. Jerome, Que., says:—"For upwards of a year I was a victim of rheumatism in a most painful form. The trouble waslocated i n mylegs, nand for a ion g time was so bad that I could not walk: The suffering which I endured can onry be imagined by those who have been similarly afflicted. Doctors' treatment did not help me, and then I began trying other remedies, but w.i no better results. Finally. I ivas ad- vised to try Dr. Williams" Pink Pills, arid although I had begun to lose faith in medicine, I finally decided to give the pills la trial. I am very grateful now that I did so, for after taking eight boxes of the pills the trouble completely disappeared, I was free from pain and could walk as well as ever I did in my life. I have since taken the pills occasionally as a pre- cautionary measure, and I cannot speak too highly in their favor. You 1 can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents .a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. FINDS FOUR KINDS OF BOMBS. Magazine Describes the Hair Brush and Others. • There are no other. articles on the subject of the war that can compare with, those to be found month by month in Blackwood's . Magazine. Even the censor has been unable to take the life and spirit out of them, and perhaps because they see the light so long after the events they de- scribe have occurred they contain valuable and interesting information not to be found elsewhere. A writer in the current num- ber gives an interesting account of the various bombs that are being used in the trenches. He says: "The hair brush is very like the ordinary hair brush except that the bristles are replaced by a solid block of high explosive. The policeman's truncheon has gay streamers of tape tied to its tail to insure that it falls to the ground nose downward. Both these bombs explode on impact, and it is inadvisable to knock them against anything,'say the back of the trench, when throwing them. "The cricket ball works by a time fuse. The removal of a certain pin releases .a spring which lights an internal fuse tinted to explode the bombin five seconds. You take the bomb in your right hand, remove the pin and cast the thing madly from from you. The jam tin variety ap- peals more particularly to the sports- man, as .the element of chance enters largely into its successful use. It is timed to explode about ten seconds after the lighting of the fuse." WISE WORDS A Physician on Food. A Westerrn._ physician has views about food. He says:. "I have always believed that the duty of the physician does not cease with -treating the sick, but that we owe it to humanity to teach them how to protect their health especially by hygienic and dietetic laws. "With such a feeling as to my duty I take great pleasure in saying, that, in my own experience and also from personal observation, I have found no food to equal Grape -Nuts and that I find there is almost no limit to the great benefit this •food will bring when used in all cases of sickness and convalescence. , "It is my experience that no physi- cal condition forbids the use of Grape- • Nuts. To persons in health there is nothing so nourishing and acceptable to the stomach especially at breakfast to start the machinery of the human systeni on the day's work. "In cases of indigestion I know that a complete breakfast can be made of Grape -Nuts and cream; and I think it is necessary not to overload the stom- ach at the morning meal. I also know the great value of Grape -Nuts when' the stomach is. too weak to digest other food.

The Literary Digest, September 18, 1915, has an article, the first sentence of which reads, "The impulse to drunkenness is disease" After point- ing out that men drink for various reasons, it says that those who "drink- to get drunk are abnormal; they aro .diseased." This fact has been brought out distinctly in the psy- chopathic laboratory of •the Chicago Municipal Court, Judge Olson of the Court says, "We have yet to find the first case of the kind where there is not a tendency' to epilepsy, dementia praecox, manicdepressive insanity, or feeble mindedness." All thismeans. that the man who frequently gets drunk is of unsound mind and should. be so treated. *In Kansas they send chronic drunkards to an asylum for the insane, In Ohio they have an in- stitution to whoch the habitual drunk- ard may be sent by the judge on ap- plication by the friends until he is considered cured. .I knew a clever young man who went to an asylum and begged the Superintendent to take him in for a year till he would have a chance to break off. There are many such pitiful cases for which there is no provision made, in spite of the revenue from the traffic that causes it, It is a serious reflection on our civilization thatthere is no provision ; made for this class, most of them the victims of the license system. We see such :nen going down for years, • wasting thea (substance in drink, beg- garing their families and becoming a nuisance and often a menace to so- ciety, and little or nothing is done to_ help them. They sometimes try desperately to break off, but what hope in the presence of the open bar- room and the treating custom? The physician is notallowed to send them to any institution unless he is very rich. There is neither hope nor help for him till he becomes insane or com- mits a crime. But what caused this diseased condition? "The curse cause- less shall not come." Statistics gen- erally point to a drinking father or grandfather. He was probably ignor- ant of the fact that his drinking would injure his children and grand- children. Then, for God's sake help us to spread this truth far and wide that the sins of drinking parents are visit- ed on the children and grandchildren. H. ARNOTT, M.B., M.C.P.S.

If you are inclined to believe that the age of miracles is past and wish visible evidence of Red Cross thauma- turgy, you have only to look at our returned soldiers who are now coming home in steadily increasing numbers. Nearly every returned soldier is a Red Cross miracle, for in the majority of cases a soldier is invalided home only when he is physically incapaci- tated for further service. You may think that some of them are sadly crippled and mutilated, but if you could compare their condition to -day with their condition when they were first placed in the hands of surgeon and nurse, you would be able to esti- mate what the Red .Cross has done in the way of patching up and healing shattered bodies. In Canada, however, you can not see the greatest miracles of the Red Cross and Army Service Corps—the men who have been made sound and whole and as good as new again, and .are once more back in the trenches, making one life do double service. Indeed, is is not a miracle that one man having only one life to give should be able to give that life twice and even three times over—thanks to the Red Cross. Think what the Red Cross has saved in that most precious of all commodities human life — and be certain when next you put your name on a Red Cross subscription list' that you have made a very profitable in- vestment --to say nothing of perform- ing a humane and patriotic act. Pig -iron is produced in greater quantity by the United States than by any other countey; Germany and Luxemburg rank second for supply, and the 'United Kingdom third. WOULD NOT RE WITHOUT BABY'S OWN TABLETS Thousands of mothers throughout Canada have written of their thank - fullness for what Baby's Own Tablets have done for their little ones.

From the large number of one-piece dresses which are being worn at par- ties -and other social occasions, as well as in the home, it is apparent that milady's wardrobe will not be com- plete this winter without one or more of these garments. The winning fea- ture of the one-piece model are that every taste from the extreme to the austere may be satisfied, and the ease madwith , which these dresses may be e For example, observe the smart, pleasing effect of the Ladies' Home Journal Pattern No, 9191, illustrated herewith. The dress consists of a foundation waist with kimono sleeves and a removable chemisette. Here also is shown the natty effect 'obtain- ed by the sleeveless overblouse in handkerchief effect and a bib -girdle, forming postillions at the back. The skirt is a five -gore gathered model, and may be made with or without the cascade overskirt. Cuts in sizes 14, 16, 18 and 20 years.

Two boys were expatiating on the relative merits of their fathers as musicians. "My father is the greatest musi- cian in the town," said one. "Oh!" the other said. "When my father starts his music every man stops work." "How's', that?" said the other. "What does he do?" "He blows the whistle for meals up at the mill.

The nigger had a fine roast capon for dinner one Sunday. _As he carved it he said with a grateful, humble air, "Let us thank Providence for this here meal, dear friends. This here capon belonged to Judge Sharp, my next-door neighbor, and night after night I prayed that the bird might come flyin' over into .my yard. But it never came, never, never came.

Often one hears people say that they will do a certain thing "by hook. or by erook." This expression dates hack to feudal days, and refers to the old forest laws, which gave per- mission to poor people to gather wood on condition that they neither cut nor sawed timber. Those branches which they could break,or such sticks as could be carried away were theirs, but this was all they were entitled to. To pull down dead branches, or re- move sticks from the underbrush, certain hooks and crooked poles were brought into use. .Those in time came to. be called hooks and crooks. )3y their use the peasants managed to procure all the wood needed, Renee the expression, "by hook or by crook.", atinard'i Liniment Cur#. yliphthoria.

Early in the war when the expedi- tionary forces were being mobilized and equipped, sir Pertrabl Singh, a seventy - year - old veteran Indian Prince, who had seen active service in the past, organized and equipped at his own expense almost an army corps of his subjects and offered both himself and his men to his Majesty King George. The moral effect of this action and the acceptance of the volunteers by the King of England has tended to cement the feeling of loyalty existing between the Indian colonies and England. Sir Pertrabl Singh has distinguished himself with his command with the British forces in France. Highly Rated. She—She died worth $25,000 and left her husband $5.
