Robbed Belgians of All Other Articles of Clothing—Even Stole Beds. Ladies' silk stockings were the only articlels of wearing apparel exempt from pillaging by the Germans when their troops settled in. Belgium. Every- thing was taken for the army, but even the much lauded military intel- ligence of the Hun -general staff could. not figure how silk hose, especially that of the long variety, could be used by the fighting forces. In many in- stances Belgian women had their wardrobes almost completely looted— completely looted with the exception of the silk stockings. This interesting fact was disclosed recently by S. Worms, who is a mem- ber of the Brussels Chamber of Com- merce, now on a business trip to America. According to Mr. Worms, there are plenty of ladies' silk stock- ings in 'Belgium, but not much else. "The German army took everything," lie declares in a report submitted to the local Chamber of Commerce. "Cot- ton, yes; wool, certainly—but not silk," Discussing the thoroughness of the Hun looting parties, Mr. Worms says each Belgian family was permitted to keep only one bed and only three sheets to use on it. "One German commander," he con- tinues, "protested against this order. He thought two sheets would be enough. But he was overruled. The Belgians were permitted to keep one mattress for each family,. providing it was not stuffed with wool or hair. I beat them. I took my 'wool mattress- es out in the garden, ripped them open, packed the Wool In hogsheads and buried it. It stayed there four years: The day the Germans left Brussels I dug up my wool.

Take a Rest, of Course—This Article Tells You Why and How. When you get tired, take a rest. Do not "make" yourself go on doing some- thing when you really feel that you have had enough. This sounds a counsel of perfection, but it is really only the soundest of common-sense. Experiment has shown that fatigue is caused by a poison which is generated in the blood by exertion. Everything that we do breaks down "tissue"—that is to say, it uses up some of the myriad cells which go to make up the body, and these broken down cells are waste matter and have to be eliminated from the body. All the work inside us is controlled by the nerves, and these are more or less like the insulated wire that is used for electric bells, and the nervous im- pulse resembles the current that pass- es through and does the work. Fatigue increases the resistance of the nerve to the passage of the im- pulse, this being one of the kindly ef- forts of Mother Nature to shut out messages from the outside world so that we may rest and sleep, and re- cuperate by getting rid of the poison- ous products of work. But as the resistance of the nerve increases. so do the messages in sharp- ness and clearness, we get too tired to be keenly alert and accurate, we grow too tired even to care overmuch, and this is the state of mind which leads directly to accidents and spoiled work. It actually "doesn't pay" to work in this state; it does Prot prove worth while either to master or pian. What is the use of keeping a workman at work beyond his fatigue limit if he only succeeds in spoiling his job, damaging himself, or smashhig the machine? There is a rhythm that runs right through the world in everything we do, a kind of swing that enables us to keep going when once we have start- ed, so long as we don't get out of time. It is the same thing that en- ables a man to go on for sixty years at the office enjoying life, and then when he breaks the swing and retires to what he calls a well-earned leisure, he promptly dies of a broken rhythm. So, if we keep work and rust going in their proper swing, and if the time of rest is sufficient to get rid of the poisons of fatigue, then we can go on for an indefinite period. But we do not allow time for the poison to be eliminated, we store it up and it decreases our nerve -quick- ness, impairs our judgment, and final- ly results in a breakdown of one kind or another. When the body calls for rest it is economy to give it. Flogging the tired horse merely stores up more fatigue -poison and makes things much worse in the long run. CARE OF BARN ROOF. A great many farmers throughout the country allow the chaff and straw blown from threshing machine to barn roof to remain from one season to an- other without removal. They should realize this holds moisture and it is a question of only a short time when the shingles are decayed. When they have to replace the roof the blame is laid on the shingles rather than on their carelessness in. not removing the cause of decay, Made It Plain. At a certain Welsh railway station which rejoices in the name of "Llan- fairpwigwyngyll"—a new porter was engaged. He was only an Englishman, but he meant to do his duty. The first train came in. He tapkled the name of the station, but failed miserably to pronounce more than about the first inch. But he was a man of brains. Running along the platform, he point- ed to the board which bore the lengthy name and yelled out: If there's any- body there for here this is it!" Tried It. Willie seemed deep in thought. A puzzled frown marred his chubby face. "I can't make it out!" he muttered. "Make what out?" asked his mother, who had been watching her little son with an amused smile. "Why everyone calls little brother a bouncing baby." "Well, isn't he?". smiled mother. "No," said Willie. "When I dropped him this morning he didn't bounce a bit."

A GRAND MEDICINE FOR LITTLE ONES Mrs. Avila Noel, Haut Lameque, N. B., writes:—"I can highly recommend Baby's Own Tablets as they have worked 'wonders in the case of my baby. I always keep them in the house and would not feel safe without them." What Mrs. Noel says con- cerning Baby's Own Tablets is just what thousands of other mothers say and feel. The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels and stomach, thereby banish- ing constipation, colic, indigestion and a host of the other minor ailments of little ones. The Tablets are absolute- ly guaranteed to be free from opiates or narcotics or any of the other drugs so harmful to the welfare of the baby. They cannot possibly do harm—they always do good. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 26 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Ground For Suspicion. A north countryman, charged with having set fire to a large hayrick, was defended on the ground that he was not altogether responsible for his ac- tions. One,. of the witnesses testified to the belief that the prisoner was "wrung in his held." "Can you mention any occasion on which the prisoner behaved in a man- ner to warrant your statement?" he was asked by the learned counsel. "Yes," answered the witness. "Once at work he got half a crown too much for his wage, an—" "Well?" said counsel, as the witness hesitated. "He took it back to th' manager," concluded the witness. Boiled Down. Not long ago the editor of an Eng- lish paper ordered a story of a certain length, but when the story arrived he discovered that the author had written several hundred words too many. The paper was already late in going to press, so there was no alternative— thete story must b condensed to fit the allotted space. Therefore the last few paragraphs were cut down to a single sentence. It read thus: "The earl took a Scotch highball, his hat, his departure, no notice of his pursuers. a revolver out of his hip pocket, and finally, his life," JAPTER EFFECTS OF INFLUENZA Often as Serious as the Disease Itself-,. HOW to Get New Health.. There are few homes in Canada: that were not touched by the sorrow that trailed in the wake of the Spanish Influenza epidemic, Estimates of the loss of life caused by this epidemic show that it was almost as great as the losses caused by the war, and these take no account of the baneful after-effects which are sometimes as fatal as the disease itself. Victims of the disease are general- ly left with impoverished blood and a weakened system, In this condi- tion they are exposed to many dang- ers unless precautions are taken to enrich the blood and strengthen the nerves., The debility that invariably follows influenza is not a disease of any organ. It is a general coudition of unfitness. It must be met by a remedy whose good results will be quickly felt throughout the entire system. In this condition Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills will be found in- valuable, The mission of this medi- cine is to enrich the blood. and this new, red blood carries renewed health and strength to every part of the body. The case of Mrs. George Louder•, Hamilton, Ont„ proves the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in cases of this kind. Mrs. Louder says:—"I had a very severe attack of Spanish influenza which left me pale and very weak. My appetite com- pletely failed me and the least noise would startle me and make me cry, I was under a doctor's care, and final- ly he advised me to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I had not been taking them long before I could tell they were helping me. I used altogether nine or ten boxes and am now feeling as well as ever I did in my life. I be- lieve if it had not been for these pills I would have been a chronic in- valid." Such proof as this must be interest- ing to everyone who suffered from an attack of influenza, and who still feel in any way weakened as the result of .the trouble. It points the way to new health and strength, and if you are one of the sufferers you should avail yourself of this medicine at once. You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from • The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. Shorter the Better. The editor dropped into a barber's and asked for a hair cut. The man with the shears was in- clined to be talkative. "I don't know sir," he began, "whether you have heard about that story about the boy who—" Then with a sudden recollection of his pro- fessional duties, he interjected: "Like it short, sir?" "Yes, yes," said the editor, eagerly, "A brief synopsis will do." Ldinard's Liniment Lumberman's Friend, Able Defender. "Grandpa, did you fight in the great war?" "Yes, my boy." "Did you carry a gun, grandpa?" "No. I carried a check book and a fountain pen, and whenever the chair- man of a finance committee called my name I answered, 'Here.' " ire :,, nd better Shaves Yid you ever see a bar - bar start to shave a cus- tomer without strop- ping his razor first? Never! Isn't this fact significant? Stropping, you see, is needed to reform the saw -like edge that re- sults from shaving; to keep the blade free from rust; and to give you for each morning's shave a keen -edged blade. The self -strop- ping feature of the AutoStrop Razor pre- serves the keen edge that makes shaving comfort possible. Stropping shaving, cleaning, are all done without removing the blade from the razor.

Ten of the largest locomotives ever built for use on Canadian railways have been under construction for some time at the C.P.R. Angus Shops in Montreal, and one of these, No. 5302, was inspected the other day by President E. W. Beatty, and Vice- president Grant Hall. These locomo- tives are of the heavy Mikado type and are intended for freight service, being designed and built under the direct supervision of Mr. W. H. Win- terrowd, the Chief Mechanical Engi- neer. The weight of the engine and ten- der in working condition is 500,000 !lbs., the engine alone weighing 323,- 000 lbs. The diameter of the driving wheels is 63 inches. The cylinders are 25% inches in diameter by 32 - inch stroke, which with 200 -lbs. boiler pressure makes these locomotives capable of exerting a maximum trac- tive effort of 36,000 lbs. The diameter of the boiler is 80 inches at the back end. The fire box Is 84 inches wide and 120 inches long, and the grates are moved by steam grate shakers. The cab is of the vestibule type, which is the C.P.R. standard. and every effort has been made to make the accommodations for the engine - men as comfortable as possible. One side of the cab is fitted with a clothes locker 14 inches by 20 inches wide, in which clothes can ,be hung and lunch pails carried. The tender has a capacity for 12 tons of coal and 8,000 Imperial gallens of water. MONEY ORDERS. Remit by Dominion Express Money Order. If lost or stolen you get your money back.
