The wonderful success of Dr. Wil -
Hams' Pink Pills is due to the fact
that they go right to the root of the
disease in the blood, and by making
the vital fluid rich and red strengthen
everrorgan and every nerve, thus driv-
ing out disease and path, and making
weak, despondent people bright, active
and strong. Mr, W. T. Johnson, one
of the best known and most highly
esteemed men in Lunenburg county, N.
S., saysg—"1 am a Provincial and Sur-
veyor, and am exposed for the greater
pari of the year to very hard work tra-
velling though the forests by day and
camping out by night, and I find the
only thing that will keep the up to the
mark is Dr. Williams Pink Pills. When
1 leave home for a trip in the woods
1 am as interested in having my supply
of pills as provisions, and on such
occasions, I take them regularly. The
result is 1 am always fit, I never take
cold, and can digest all kinds of food
such as we have to put up with hastily
cooked in the woods. Having proved
the value of Dr. Wiliants' Pink Pills,
as a tonic and health builder, I am
never without them, and I lose no op-
portunity in recommending them to
weak people whom I meet."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should be
kept in every home, and their occa-
sional use will keep the blood pure
and ward off illness. You can get these
pills through any medicine dealer, or
by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes
for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams Med-

THE PRACTICAL SHOE1V1AN
Front there started the retreat from
Mons and it seemed the irony of fate
that the war should end here. We
sayed here ten days cleaning up, and
preparing for what was to come. On
the morning of the 21st we started on
our trek to the Rhine. For 23 days
we were on our way, marching fifteen
and resting eight. During the first
two or three days march we went
through some of the Mier parts of,
Belgium and were treated splendidly
by the people'. 1 can only remember
onee in my lite beirfg so fed up with
kiadue,is, it was On this march. They
overdid 11 in a little ddwn. Guoy les

h
couple of da:.•5 and we unwed on. About
0 a.m. liecember 5, we crossed
,he trontier, right into Prussia. 'rhe
change was noticeable at Onee. Civilians
were swallowing the bitterest pill of
their lives. I was disappointed in the
country, some of which was about
the poorest 1 ever saw, and we had
to climb the worst hills 1 ever saw,
bar none. After we reached the water-
shed of the Rhine a different country
met our eyes. Large tracts of fertile
rolling country and long stretches of
Splendid roads stood out before us. As
the country improved so did the peo-
ple. I thought in the first part of the
country that if it were all like this no
wonder they wanted more. But now
the real reason why they wanted more
flecked out to see us. Such families
I never saw. There were children there
by the thousands.
"We took the best accommodations
that were going often had the best
bedroom in the house and a sitting -
room. Washing and drinking water
was brought to our rooms, etc,
"On Deeember 11 we reached the
Rhine and put up at a town, Mehlem
by name. Every clay we ran aerosS
fellows who fought against us at Ffill
70, -Cambrai, Valenciennes, etc., and in
one case the chap was in the whole
retreat front Cambrai to Mons. In
Mehlein the town crier went through
the town, crying out the laws and rggu-
lations of the new regime. All men
were to take off their hats to any
officer - of his Britannic majesty's
army. Civilians- were to be in their
houses at 8 p.m., All telephones were
to be taken over by the military au-
thorities. There were dozens of re-
strictions, It just did our old hearts
good to see them handed a bit of their.
own.
"We cleaned up and made our of -
tidal, entry into Bonn, a city of 90,000
ten miles 'farther down the Rhine, on
December 13. It is a beautiful City and
the home of Beethoven, the musician.
His statute stands in the park. To -day
I was in Cologne. It is a beautiful
burg. The cathedral is simply map,
nificent. Front where 'we are it is an
hour's ride on the electric railway. I
am going in again, if possible.
"The people here are very docile and
give no trouble at all, Of COurse, they
have to be. Some of the finest heavy
guns event turned out of British work-
shops fine the banks of the Rhine. The.
people are all fat and healthy enough.
bOhlago but no doubt were very short
of many of the real necessities, 1
peat they'll start to groan when they
read the peace terint, They stirred tip
a Moat's nest, to will have to like 11
or lump it."
NEW STANDARD SIAM ADOPTS
Siam's white elephant flag of cen-
turies pat has been abandoned for a
new arrangement of the red, white and
blue of democracy. Bangkok celebrat-
ed the defeat of Germany much as did
the United States, attributing the vie -
tory 'largely to he might of Siamese
Arms, It is interesting to find that the
red, white and blue now figure In the
national flags of Great Britain, France,
the United States, Russia, Serbia,
Cuba,
Panama, Costa Rica, Paraguay, Liberia
and Siam.

That Two.Cent Letter Rata
Montreal Gazette: Tlid Sanate and
House conferees in Washington have
completed their preliminary review
of the proposed Revenue bill by
agreeing to restore the pre-war post-
age rates on first-class mail matter
after July 1 next. The agreement on
postal rates will mean a return to the
use of the two -cent stamp for letter
postage and one -cent postal card
f rae. Is Canada to have its pre-war
' postal rates restored, or are we to
be handicapped as compared with our
rivals in the United States?

New Liquor Rule, May 1st.
Details of the plan under which the
Government will carry on the sale of
liquor for niedicial and other neces-
sary pUrposes, when it takes over com-
plete control of the business, have not
yet been completed by the Cabinet.
Consequently there is touch specula-
tion as to the course to be pursued,
not only in Government circles, but
also in the Minds of the public gener-
ally. 11 is considered likely that the
change front private vendors to com-
plete Government control will go in -
o effect on May 1, the beginning of
he license year. 11 is doubtful whe-
her, as has been suggested, several
more liquor stores will be opened in

eady in existence, Al present there
re seven Vendors. Some of these
nen may be retained on salary by the
overnnient to manage the stores, If
