The Brussels Post, 1916-2-24, Page 711 11 King Bluster King Bluster is a tyrant, His voieo i$ loud and bold,. His cloak sweeps out behind him, His breath i$ bitter cold. He bends the trees and shakes them, Disturbs the mighty sea, And everybody fears him, And strives his wrath to flee. Icing Bluster ,rose one morning, • Itis temper all awry, Because the sun was smiling Above him in the sky. He swept the clouds together To hide the beaming sun And tore away in fury, His mad day's work begun. He raged across the city, He howled across the plain, He lashed the waves to billows, And ordered out the rain. He drove the ships before him, And he hurled them as in play, But the sun smiled out in setting — He'd stormed his breath away! The Scarecrowe's Story All summer long I stood in the corn- field and did my work as best I knew how. It was not hard. The farmer made me in May, just after he plant- ed the corn. He made me of two poles, an old coat, a hat, and enough straw to stuff the cont. The upright pole, which he stuck in the ground, held me up. The shorter pole, which he fastened crosswiseon the tall pole near the top, gave me' my two arms. Then when the coat was buttoned over the straw and the cap was in its place, I felt that I was a fine scare- crow. My work was simply to stand there and frighten away the crows by mak- ing them think I was a man. I could not move if I wanted to; but th- crows, which are very wise in som things and very foolish in others, al ways seemed to be afraid of me. The - pulled up hills of young corn on th far edge of the field, but they kep well away from rue. Sometimes whole flock of them gathered in tree near the field and scolded me fo an hour at a time. What a chatte they made! But I never let them worry me or turn me from my duty The farmer trusted me to guard hi corn, and there I stood at my pos in rain and shine, day and night through the long, hot summer months. When the corn wase well grown the crows could do no more mischief, but still I stayed at my post. It was pleas- ant, when the corn stood in long ranks up. and down the. field, to watch the ears, soft and white at first and covered with long silk, grow full and yellow. One moonlight night a family of raccons came and had a feast on the corn. I trjed to frighten them away, but they paid no attention to me. At last when the nights were getting frosty, the farmer gathered the -corn and cleaned up the stalks; but still lie left me standing there to watch over the bare field. When the first snow came, I began to get lonesome and to long for a more comfortable job' for the winter, All through the summer and the fall I had found no fault, but it did not seem' fair to expect me to stay at my post all winter. But one day some- thing happened that made me content- ed and happy again. A flock of -spar- rows' came to call on me and made themselves quite at home. People say that sparrows are foolish birds, but' those sparrows knew better than to, be afraid of me, as the crows had been. The wind was bitter cold, and they were glad of the shelter that they - found inside my coat and under my hat. They even found food by peeling away at the straw that stuffed my coat. They were very sociable birds, too,- and told me many things about the far -away world that I had never known before. We became great friends. One day a boy who was passing in the highway, just beyond the. fence, stopped to watch the sparrows that were visiting me. After he had gone along some of the sparrows fol- Iowed' him 'home. Later they •came back to tell nle that he lead placed boxes in the apple trees near hie home as shelter for the birds, and had thrown out food for them to eat, So my life is useful, after all, and I am happy. I guarded the young corn from the crows, I have shelter - d and fed the cold, and hungry spar- ows, and I have set a good example for those who pass by.,- Is not that something for ragged scarecrow to be proud of ?—Youth's Companion, TONIC TREATMENT FOR THE STOMACH The Modern Method is Most Suc- cessful in Treating Indi- gestion The old-fashioned method of treat - In indigestion and stomach troubles ere being discarded, The trouble with the old-fashioned method was that when the treatmentwasstopped the troublereturned in 'an aggravat- ed form. The modern method of cur- ing indigestion and other stomach troubles is to tone up the stomach to do nature's work. Every step toward recovery is a step gained, not to be lost again. The recovery of the ap- petite, the disappearance of pain, the absence of gas,—are all stepson the road' to health that those who have tried the tonic treatment remember distinctly. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a' blood -builder, tonic medicine,' every constituent of which is helpful in building up the digestive organs, and is therefore the very best remedy , for chronic cases of stomach trouble. ,Thousands of cases like the following prove how successful this treatment is:—Miss Amy Browning, Cornith, Ont., says: -"I have found such great benefit from Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ! that I would be ungrateful if I did not publicaly say a good word in their favor. I was badly run down and my stomach was in a very bad condition. All food distressed me, and left me disinclined. to eat. I suffered from nausea and dizziness and frequent sick headache, and this was further aggravated by pains in the back and sides. I was in this condition for several years, and although I had got medicine from several doctors it did not help me. Then I heard of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and began taking them. I am glad to say that they soon helped me, and now I am as well as ever; can eat all kinds of food with relish, and have not an ache or pain'." You can get these Pills through any e dealer in medicine or by mail, post - paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes y for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams Medi e cine Co., Brockville, Ont. t In An Elevator. apeople.

German .Critic .Also Says Pressure of British Fleet is Felt.. In. 4t review of the naval situation in the Berliner Tageblatt, Captain Persius remarks that the significanee of sea power, though unperceived by the superficial observer, in reality played many a significant role dur- ing the past year, . In the North Sen the pressure exercised by the Britt Fleet made itself felt in Cerma i econonie life, t Captain Persia: claims that Ge man U boats during the first half the, year jeopardized British' coi shipping in the North Se and German and Austrian U boa accomplished the same ends ,in th Mediterranean dui•iiig the last fe months. In the 13altio, British sub marines were able to boast of som successes. After expressing. the opin ion that the entdre elimination of th Submarine danger requires a decisiv blow by a hostile fleet, he says:— Regarding the effectiveness of ou U boats in the trade war one hear frequently nowadays views' that bea little resemblance to the views utter ed a year ago. Then, alas, hope were extravagant, owing to a di regard of facts which , the informe expert indeed observed, but whic remained concealed for the laymen. Captain Persius then gives figure purporting to be derived from goo authority regarding the losses cause to allied shipping by submarines and mines, estimating the British losses at 5.9 per cent of the entire British merchant fleet before the war. He says:— We must, however, take into con- sideration the fresh supply of ships as the result of sedulous British in- dustry as well as .of the purchas of neutral and the seizure of enc merchant' vessels. In war -vessels, also, he admits th allies have been able to fill up th gape rapidly. Just as Grandmother Did.

The book expounds the following octrine of German expansion: Whatever we'set out to do, we eed never trouble about. the right or rong of the matter, since we have ight on our side. We need never worry about any- ing we may do, since history wll how us that there is nothing we' can o, however bad, that has not already een perpetrated in the course of the rowth of the world.

German scientists who have investi- gated the wood . of trees for use as human food to eke out the supply of ordinary breadstuffs report that wood contains large quantities of sugar starch, and oil, and small quantities of albumen, particularly in the win- ter months. The food elements are found principally in the twigs and sapwood of the tree. The hardwoods contain the most starch, while the soft woods contain little starch but considerable oil. Pine and spruce con- tain too much resin to be used' as food, while oak and willow contain too much tannin. The wood must be finely ground and mixed with the usual breadstuffs in order that the digestive organs can utilize it. F Ever Tried It? Auntie—Well, Tommy, what have you learnt in school to -day?

Wrong food and drink cause a lot of trouble in this world. To change tsfirat aid when a person is ill, p ar- ticularly from stomach and nervous troubles. As an illustration: A lady was brought around to health again by leaving off coffee (Tea is just as injurious because it contains caffeine, the drug found in coffee) and some articles of food that did not agree with her. She says: "For a number of years I suffered with stomach and bowel trouble which kept getting worse until I was ill most of the time. About four years ago I left off coffee and began using Postern; My stomach rind bowels im- proved right along, but I WAS so re- duced in flesh and so nervous that the least tiling would overcome me. "Then I:changed my .food and began using Grape -Nuts in addition to Post - um. I lived on these two principally , for about a month. Day by day I gained in flesh and strength until the nervous trouble had disappeared. I feel that I owe my health to Post - um and Grape -Nuts. "Husband was troubled, for a long. time, -with occasional cramps, and slept badly. Filially I prevailed upon him to leave off coffee and take Post um, After he tried Postuul for a few days he found that lee could sleep and that his prelims disappeared.
