No rest night, or day forthose afflicted
with that terrible skin disease, eczema,
or, as it is often called, salt rleum. With
its unbearable burning, itching, tortur-
ing day and night, relief fs gladly wel-
comed,
It is a blessing that there is such a
reliable remedy as Burdock Blood Bitters
to relieve the sufferer from the continual
torture and who can get no relief from
their misery.
Apply it externally and it takes out
the fire and itch and aids in the healing,
process. Take it internally and it puri-
fies the blood of all those poisons which
are the source of skin eruptions.
Mr. Andrew Bowen, Highland Grove,
Ont., writes:—"I must say that Burdock
Blood Bitters is a wonderful preparation,
I had a very bad case -of eczema which
spread almost over any entire body. I
tried doctors, home treatments and many
other patent medicines, but with no
results. A friend advised mo to try
B.B.B., and after taking five bottles, 1
am thankful to say they cured me com-
pletely,"

WIFE'S COLD
Husband's Bronchitis
CURED BY
DR. WOOD'S
NORWAY PINE SYRUP.
Mrs. James Mack, Trenton, Ont.,-
writes:—"I suffered for *several months
with a had cold. Some friends told me
about Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup,
and of the benefit it was to them. Before
I had used two bottles I could get some
rest, which I could not do before. I had
tried everything, but "Dr. Wood's" was
the only thing that gave me any relief.
My husband suffered terribly from;
bronchitis, and did not know whether
he was going to recover or not. At my
druggist's, Mr. J. I3: Dickey., I was ad-
vised to try your syrup which I did,
slid am so thankful that j cannot recom-
mend it highly enough,"
Many people on tbo first sign of the
slight cold or cough neglect it thinking,
perhaps it will disappear in a day or two
but the longer it is let run the worse i
gets until it settles on the lungs and
' 6erious results ensue.
On the first sign of a cough or cold,
get rid of it before itgets settled. Take a
few doses of I)r. Wood's Norway Pine
Syrup and see how quickly it will cis -1
appear.
This sterling remedy has been on the
Market for the past 30 years, and stands
head and shoulders over all other hough
remedies.

were eventually formed into an organ -

ed so well that the (65161al) soldiers
were removed from the barracks •at
the close of 19.15, '
Glad To See Soldiers Oa
"It was a great thing when the
soldiers were removed;" said the
doctor, reminiscently. -
"Why?' inquired The Globe.
"Well, they were always prowling
around, anti were more nr less : of
nuisance; it was very unpleasant - to
know they were there."
Were they offensive or brutal?"
"I saw no actual cases of brutality,"
"Then how/do you account for the
stories about other camps; do you
think they were true?"
"I can quite.believe that some of
the military prisoners were ill-treat-
ed, where they were forced to work.
Ours waS a civilian camp, and we were
not obliged to work. Many of our
teen were merchant seamen from Brit=
ish ships in German harbors, and later
some were'from the Wolf, the German
raider of the South Seas."
Were there any attempts at
capes?"
"Yes, there were some who got
away."
"How did you spend your tine?"
es -
Conducts An Orchestra
"In various ways," replied the doc-
tor. There was the Camp School,
which was a very interesting institu-
tion, with all branches of study, liter-
ary handicrafts. We had a really good
band and an orchestra. 1 did quite a
lot of conducting. We put on a num-
ber of operas, including .Gilbert and
Sullivan's "Mikado," and "Yeomen of
the Guard." It was all by men, of
course, and we had to fill the wo-
men's parts with falsetto -sopranos. I
took several female Tarts myself. We
also produced plays by Shaw and Gals -
worthy We had a really interesting
Shakespeare tercentenary. German
otlicers often brought their wives to
see the plays.
"Then we had what we called the
"Arts and Science Union", composed
ni' the "superior" element, who pro-
ducecl high -brow pieces."
"Would you say that the camp
was a good example of a state of dem-
ocracy, or chid Wren rise or fall to their
levels?" asked '1'11,- Gh,i'e mann.
An Earl In Camp
The- ex-frisnner thought a little
and said, slowly: "We mixed prett:
fteaiy—of course, we chose our own
friends. By the way. we had an
Earl in the cainlp. There were some
real criminal types, too, but, on the
whole, there was a somal amount of
stealing."
Sees Mr. Gerard.
One of the Strange features of
this dose confinement of sten was
the fact that for four years many of
them had never spoken to a woman
in all that period. They had seen
them ata distance. The only time
Dr, MacMillan spoke to a lady was
when Ambassador Gerard and his wife
visited the camp, They attended the
performance, at which the doctor was
conductor.
"How did the prison life affect
most of the sten; did they Suffer
mentally?"
"Several became tisane. One in
my box lost his reason."
"How did it happen?"
Action For Sanity
"Ile got brooding and became de-
pressed then he stopped doing things.
It is•absolutely necessary to find some
thing to do. An enormous number
studied languages, i did a lot of
reading. Thanks to the Board of Ed-
ucation in England, headed by Sir Al-
fi•ed Davies, we had a line reference
library, It was a great blessing."
The doctor was very modest in re-
gard to his remarkable achievement
in composing an oratorio on Switt-
burne's ode, "England," while in con-
finement,' • This composition secured
for hint the Oxford degree of Doctor
of Music. He said he had to work
under great difficulties, as he could
seldom get in a place .by himself. He
11ad only a few hours it week at the
piano, and the scoring was mostly
done in the barracks, amid all kinds of
noises.
Prisoner Writes Novel.
One prisoner wrote a whole novel,
three others wrote plays, and there
were, of course, a poet or two. One
received a Knighthood; this was Sir
John Irvine of Aberdeen,
"What was the biggest day in the
camp?" asked The Globe with a
hunger for the sensational.
"The day the Kaiser abdicted,"
replied Dr, MacMillan, without hest-
tation. The soldiers got the otli-
cers into a corner and took off their
badges and buttons, and having de-
prived them of their authority they
formed a Soldiers' Council. They
raided the officers' quarters, and
marched to Berlin smoking fat cigars
and waving revolutionary flags. Our
Captains' Committee called a meeting
of tine prisoners and we decided it
would be better to keep together."
Let the Kaiser Hang
"Were the Germans shocked when
the Kaiser rant away?" •
"1 don't think they cared what hap,
pened to him, They were disgusted
viten he left Berlin for Headquarters
when he was most wanted. That Was
the reason why he was so long in
abdicating."
"What of the Crown Prince?"
"He was* not papular among the

Baby's Own Tablets are 'the best
medicine a mother can give her little

"Baby's Own Tablets have given me
more satisfaction than anything else
I have ever given my'•children. They
are easily taken; always work web
and though 1 have given quite a few

now as at first, which is something
other laxatives seldom do." The Tab-

SO that everyone—male or

get quickly such jobs as are
available the Government is co-
operating with the Provinces in
establishing a. chain of Public
Employment Offices. Employ-
ers are being urged to make use
of these offices to secure any
help they need, Farmers, for
example, who need Mitred men
should apply to the nearest
office. There will be a Public
Employment Office in every
$25,000,000 to be loaned through
the Provinces to encourage the
building of workmen's houses.
This will mean much new work
in the spring.
