One by one the great war has whit- tled down a whole list of comforts, services, pleasures and so-called ne- cessities of life that the twentieth century thought indispensable. But no grumbling is heard from the peo- ple who have adjusted themselves to the changed conditions. Two years ago the English people • were all travellers. The magic carpet lay waiting outside the door of the humblest citizen with a ten -pound note. "A Week in -Lovely Lucerne for Five Pounds" was within the ambi- tion of the poorest worker. For two years now not a single Eng- lishman or Englishwoman, unless on "strict business only," has been able to leave England for the continent. tgry years ago the Londoner could compass Boulogne or Ostend in a twenty-four hours' jaunt. To -day those trite familiar towns have be- come as far off as Lhassa or Yark- land. Home travel, too, has suffered. Seventeen cross-country train ser- vices have disappeared. The people who live on these routes are experi- encing restrictions of movement tighter than those that kept at home their ancestors of the stage -coach days. People have schooled themselves to travel as little as possible; are con - (apt to, wait indefinitely for delivery of goods; are waiting—in millions— their annual vacations.

History of Trieste is a History of Many Canflicts. Trieste, the principal seaport of Austria, which figures so prominent- ly in the news of the day, goes back for the beginning of its history into! ancient days, It is first mentioned about 100 B.C. as a village, a place of no importance. Some fifty years later, it is recorded that the place was attacked by barbarian tribes from the interior, and about twenty years later still, Trieste makes its definite emergence into history during the Dalmatian wars waged by Augustus. The Romans, with that sure judg- ment which characterized their em- pire building, recognized the import- ance of the site upon which Trieste now stands. Augustus consequently decided to found a Roman colony there. The little village quickly be- came a town, and, as a defense against the wild Celtic and Illyrian tribes of the surrounding country, who always gave the Romans so much trou- ble, the new city was surrounded by a wall and fortified with towers. It was given the name of Tergeste, quickly became a flourishing Roman colony and hada large territory at- tached to it. In those days, just as to -day, the importance of Trieste lay mainly in its commerce, as the natural outlet for Pannonia and Dalmatia, and in those clays, just as to -day, it was a beautiful city. a On the fall of the empire in the west, the history of Trieste merges in- to the history of Istria. It passed through troublous times. It was pil- laged.by^the Longobardi and the Goths; was annexed to the Frankish kingdom by Pepin in 789; fell into the hands of the dukes of Carinthia about the middle of the tenth century, and from thence it passed successively through the hands of the dukes of Meran, the dukes of Bavaria into the possession of the republic of Venice. For the next 180 years, the history of Trieste is chiefly a record of conflicts with the great city to the south, and in the end Trieste placed herself under the protection of Leopold III., of Aus- tria. Leopold was' only too willing to undertake the trust, and so from protection, Austria advanced to over - lordship and from overlordship to ac- tual possession. Twice during the Napoleonic period, namely, from 1797 to 1805, and from 1809 to 1813, Trieste was in the possession of France, In this later year, however, Austria seiz- ed the city- and the surrounding dis- trict of Istria, and it has remained an Austrian possession ever since. The fellow who gets nothing but money out of his work is poorly paid. t( Another Article Against Tea and Coffee"— In spite of broad publicity, many people do not realize the harm that the drug, caf- feine, in tea and coffee does to many users, until they try a 10 days change to POSTUN Postum satisfies th de- sire for a hot table drink, and its usersenerally sleep better, f eel betty smile oftener and enjoy life more.

It Is Most Dangerous to Breath Dust - Laden Mr. The workman has no more deadly foe than dust. Not only are there tiny articles floating in the air, which carry germs of deadly disease which he may breathe or become infected with through a cut or scratch, but others. that will inflict harm on his tissues. .. Just now, when so many thousands of men are turning their hands to the making of munitions, it is timely to warn them against inhaling the fly- ing, minute splinters and dust that are caused by a lathe or file working on metal, says the London Answers. If a tiny particle of steel be ex- amined under a miscroscope it will be found to be jagged and sharp as a needle, and when breathed into the' lungs in great numbers it sets up all kinds of pulmonary troubles. The workman used to his conditions takes care not to breathe more of this dust] than he can help, but the unaccustom- ed ma.n may lean over his work, or, laboring in a dusty atmosphere, the' unusual exertion may cause him to i inhale deeply through his mouth, All of us avoid nasty smells, but it is often far more dangerous to breathe dust -laden air' which is not so percept- ible. RELIEF FROM INDIGESTION The Most Common Cause of This Trouble is Poor Blood. ' All conditions of depressed vitality tend to disturb the process of diges- tion. There is not a disturbed condi- tion of life that may not affect diges- tion. But few causes of the trouble are so common as thin, weak blood. It affects directly and at once the pro- cess of nutrition. Not only is the action of the gastric and intestinal glands diminished but the muscular action of the stomach is weakened. Nothing will more promptly restore digestive efficiency than good, red blood. Without it the normal activity of the stomach is impossible. Thin, pale people who complain of indigestion must improve the condi- tion of their blood to find relief. The most active blood builder in such cases is Dr. Williams Pink Pills. They make the rich, red blood which quickly restores the digestive organs to their proper activity, and the dyspeptic who has hated the sight and smell of food now looks forward to meal time with pleasure. As proving the value of Dr. Williams Pink Pills in curing indi- gestion Miss Edith M. Smith, R. R. No. 4, Perth, Ont., says: "I canhon- estly say I owe my present good health to Dr. Williams Pink Pills. My stomach was terribly weak and I suf- fered from indigestion and sick head- ache, and was always very nervous. I was troubled this way for nearly three years, and in that time took a great deal of doctors' medicine, which, however, did not help me. I could not eat anything without experiencing the most agonizing pain. My sick head- aches were most violent and I could not rest night or day. I was asked one day by a friend to try Dr. Wil- liams Pink Pills, and consented to do so. After taking them some time I found they were helping .me, and I continued to take them steadily for several months, until I found that I was completely cured. While taking the pills I gained both in strength and weight, and I feel it impossible to praise Dr. Williams Pink Pills too highly." You can procure these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, from The Dr. Wil- liams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A SYMPATHETIC COLLIE. How "Max" Helped His Mistress to Bear a Surgical Operation. An instance of the striking sagacity and almost human sympathy of her extraordinary collie, Max, is furnish- ed by Mrs. T. P. O'Connor in her book, "Dog Stars." While she was in Germany she was suffering from a closed tear duct. Informed of a doc- tor in Baden-Baden whose specialty was the treatment of that difficulty, she went there to see him, 'taking Max along. The afternoon of my arrival, writes Mrs. O'Connor, anxious to know his opinion, I went at once to his office. "Yes," said Doctor von Hoffman, "there is trouble here that will yield only to an operation; with the help of cocaine, I cut a little passage from the eye to the nose, keep it open with massage while healing, and in a fort- night your eye will be well enough for you to go away, Will you have it done?" "Yes," I said, "certainly I will." Max, who had been lying quietly in a corner, came forward, whimpered, looked at me anxiously, and laid his paw gently in my lap. "This gentleman hasn't the same confidence in me that you have," said the doctor, smiling. "Come tomor- row at eleven, and everything will be ready for you." "If you don't mind," I said, "I wdilld much prefer the operation now." I am sure Max pressed my knee with his paw. "Very well," said the doctor, "I'll call my assistant. . He has strong hands and will hold your head while I make the incision. Max must go into the other room." "No," I said, "please let him stay. He will be a comfort to me, Go to • REPAIRS Promptly 4Ia4+ to Storage Batteries Generators Magnetos Starters. CAPIADZAN fiToR LfiE 114TTisfiT CO..

The cocaine did not go very far, and the knife steadily pursued its way and unnerved me, I felt cold and sick; things were rather blurred, but the fear of Max, if I fainted, ab - tacking the doctors, steadied me. Not liking the look of things, he was gasping out little whines and whimpers. The doctor worked with quick dexterity and the operation was soon over, I called out, "All right, Max, stay where you are!" But he came to the centre of the room and waited. The doctor and his assistant bandaged up my eye. I reached for my hat, and Max bounded forward i with greetings of great joy. He lick- ed my hands, stopping between the quick breaths to give an occasional pianissimo bark, and intelligently kept a safe distance from my face. "Never," said the doctor, "have I1 had better patients. Max did the crying and you did the sitting still." "He would do the suffering for me, too, if. he could," I said. "I don't doubt it, and I am sure he will make a good nurse," said Doctor I von Hoffman. "He seems almost hu- Hai man." "His unselfishness and fidelity are more than human," I said. While we were going to the hotel, Max kept very close to me, and when nine o'clock came he unobtrusively stored himself under my bed, al- though usually he slept on a traveling rug in the corner of the room. But' he wanted to be nearer when I was in trouble, and after I got into bed his tail tapped out, "I'm here to take care of you, little missy."

Under the title "Eleven Days in a Shell Hole," the following was issued recently by the British official press service: "In the Seymour Military Hospital at Manchester lies a wounded soldier of the Manchester Regiment, who has accomplished a feat of endurance which the doctors declare exceeds any demonstration the war has revealed of the 'never say die' spirit of the British soldier. "Sergeant Huddart, formerly an engineer at the great Armstrong Whitworth Works in Manchester, was wounded by machine gun fire during the advance on the Somme. He fell with bullet wounds in his left hand, his thigh and his left leg. For cover he crawled into a shell hole, and there he lay for the incredible period of eleven days and nights. "Five days after he had been there a stretcher party went by the lip of the shell hole carrying another would-; ed man, and Huddart hailed them. They said they would send a party for him, but the relief never came, and Huddart says he knew why—the racket of machine gun fire told him. Shells dropped all about him; his legs , and feet were buried in earth thrown up by them. He had not a scrap of food, and he lived on sips of water from his flask. "On the eleventh day he saw an of- I ficer looking down into the shell hole, and moved his hand to show he was alive. The officer called a stretcher party, and under fire they carried away the very feeble wounded pian,' One of the stretcher party was killed while performing the rescue. "Huddart is recovering his strength' The doctors say it is a case of which the war has revealed many, when the man ought to have died and would have died except that his indomitable spirit refused." Expert Diagnosis. Doctor—Well, and how did you find yourself this morning? Patient—Oh, I just opened my eyes and there I was. Question of Reconstruction is Re- ceiving Attention. Day by day the question of recon- struction and of preparation for the great development anticipated in all directions after the war occupies a larger share of public attention In many countries. Paris has just held an exhibition of model houses on the terraces of the Jardin de Tuileries, and meetings, dealing with recon- struction and development work, are of frequent occurrence in both France and the United Kingdom. The latest instance of this activity is afforded in a report, recently made to the Birm- ingham corporation, on the question of rebuilding houses razed for mili- tary purposes and of proceeding with building schemes arrested by the out- break of the war, two years ago. The report advises the expenditure of a sum amounting in all to something like £350,000 on schools and other public buildings. asinard's Linixtteet for sale everywhere. A GREAT CONVENIENCE. What the Canadian Pacific Railway Is Doing livor Its Employees. For the convenience of the em- ployees, of whom there are nearly 2,000 in the WindsorStation build- ings, Montreal, the Canadian Pathic Railway ala hasrecently eco t setcafe- tera s e- upa f yy tern luncheon at 15 cents in a large apartment which will " accommodate 251 persons at a sitting. Judging by the attendances, it is bound to be one of the most popular features the com- pany has put its hand to. There are hundreds of girls, especially, who have not time to go home, or who, if they do go home, are greatly press- ed for time. With this service at their disposal they will save car fare; they will get a thoroughly satisfying luncheon; and they can have the com- fort of the lounge room in connection on wet or cold days—a lounge room which contains a piano, magazines and papers and in which the em- ployees can rest for the balance of their lunch hour. The arrangement is four to a table; all the appoint- ments are harmonious; there is an air of quiet dignity about the place. Mr. W. A, Cooper,' manager of the sleeping and dining car department, said that this was in accordance with the well-known policy of the Canad- ian Pacific for taking care of its em- ployees. The people in the offices constituted quite a little city in themselves. Many could not go home with co'r venience. This lunch room would meet the wants of many. Of course, there would still be the 30 -cent luncheon upstairs, and the regular dining room in which you could have what you wanted and pay. for the same as much as you liked; but this was strictly for the em- ployees, male and female, who would prefer to have their luncheon inside the building to going to restaurants —those of them who were in the hab- it of going to restaurants.
