HUNS LEFT SILK STOCKINGS.
Robbed Belgians of All Other Articles
of Clothing—Even Stole Beds.
Ladles' 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 inteI-
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 ladles' silk stock-
ings in Belgium, but not much else.
"Phe German army took everything,"
he 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, 14Ir. 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-
, roues, "protested against this prder.
He thought two sheets would be
enough. But Ile was overruled, The

WHAT TO DO WHEN TIRED.
Take a Rest, of Course—This Article
Tells You Why and How.
When you get tired, take a rest. Do
not "snake" 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 scundest 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 lvork 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 not prove worth
while either to master or man. What
is the use of keeping a workman at
Work beyond his fatigue limit if lie
only succeeds in spoiling his job,
damaging himself, or smashing the
machine?
There is a rhythm that runs right
through the world in everything we
do,a kind of
swim that s
g enables us to
keep going when once we have start-
ed, so long as we don't get out of
time. It is the sante 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, 1f 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 mois.ure and it is a
question of only a sheet 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 o1 decay,

"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 ho?" smiled mother,
"No," said Willie, "When I dropped

A GRAND MEDICINE
FOR LITTLE ONES
Mrs. Avila Noel, Haut Lameque, N.

Baby's Own Tablets as they have
worked wonders in the case of my
baby. I always keep them in the

cerning Baby's Own Tablets is just

Often as Serious as the Disease
Itself—How to Get New
Health.
There are few homes In Canada tha
were net touebed by the sorrow the.
trailed in the wake of the Spanish
Influenza epidemic. Estimates of the
lest of life caused by tills epidemic
show that It was almost as great as
the loeeea 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 dung -
ere unless precautions aro token to
enrich the blood and strengthen the
nerves. Tho debility that invariably
follows influenza is not a disease of
any organ. It is a general condition
of unfitness. It must he met by a
remedy whose good results will be
quickly felt throughout the entire
system, 1n 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 31i's. 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 ole pale
and very weak. My appetite com-
pletely failed me and the least noise
would startle ole and make me cry.
I was under a doctor's care, and final-
ly be advised me to take Dr, Williams'
Pink Pills, and I had not been taking
them long before I could tell they
wore helping me. I used altogether
nine or ten boxes and ant new 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.
