FIGHTING EEIIHAPPINESS When you get into a frame of mind that makes life feel one tiresome duty after another, with' no pleasure in it; when ill -health seems to take all the joy out of life and you worry over things that are really not worth worrying about then your nervous sys- tem is becoming exhausted, and you are nn the way to a genre] breakdown in health In this condition your health. and happness is worth fighting for and good, rich, red blood is what your system needs. It is a hopeless 'task to try to restore your health while , your blood is deficient either in quan- tity at twenty, And remember that no medicine can be of any use to you that does not build np your weak, Watery blood, To build up the blood and strength- en the nerves there is one remedy that has been 3,‘ household word for more than a genratlon—Dr. Pink Pill fin Pale People, et is the actual mission of these pills to make new, rich, red blood, which strengthens the nerves and tones the entire system. They give you a new appetite, make sleep refreshing, put color in 'the lips and cheeks, and drive away the un- natural- tired feeling that oppresses so many people. If you want to exper- ence new health and happiness give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial. You can get these pits through any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The British Wheat Export Company, the banks and the Winnipeg Grain Ex- change have been in Ottawa discuss- ing various aspects of the problem of marketing and financing the grain soon to be harvested. In order to protect the elevator companies and the banks, the Government has been asked to geerantee the 'continuance of the price to be tilted until the crop has bean disposed of. There has also been uneer discuss- ion, It is said, a proposal that the fac- ilities for buyng and handling the gran created by the Canadian grain dealers be utilized. The British Wheat Export Company has for some time been the only purchaser of wheat for export, and the dealers' business has suffered. It has been suggested that the grain trade might be utilized in the buyng wheat and the movement to the seaboard, The wheat export com- pany has, it is stated, taken the posi- tion that in order to be able to direct shipments to different ports as ship- ping becomes available it must •have control of the grian to the seaboard. The lose of life among aviators in training in Canada only 25% of that in leggland. A. Practical Id,est' The St. Mary's Journal in it issue of last week, used a column to pub- lish the addresses and occupation of persons registering at St. Mary's, who signified their willingness to assist Dr. Williams Medicne Co, Brckville, Ont. with farm work. it is hoped that in this way a number cif farmers might secure help. WHEAT PRICE LIKELY TO BE SET AT $2.24 Board Of Grain Supervisors Will Meet August 20th to Decide Question Ottawa, Aug, 2,—The price to be paid for the wheat of the 1918 crop will be fixed by the Board of Grain Supervisors at a meeting to be held on August 20, The price for last year's cron was set on the basis of $2.4 i e bushel for Na, 1 Northern at Fort William. • The figure this .year will, it is authoritatively stat- ed, be two and three cents a bushel higher, probably $2.24 in order to cover the increase in the freight rate , on grain which has taken place in the Ink year.

The New Era has been able to take a few interesting items from a letter written by Laurie Greig to his parents, l'Ar. and Mrs, T. A , Greig. 00 Dom- inion Day at the Soldiers sports he won the 100 yard race; 200 yards, and was on, the winning relay race, The prizes were an auto strap safety razor outfit, a dandy; a 'little cup, engraved for the 200 yards; and a silver match holder for the relay race, and for the individual lergest score he being the winner he won a 7 Guinea carriage clock (valued at $40) but the clock has not been de- livered from the brigade headquarters yet, On July 6th he went up to Lon - dew to • the Molinari .A, C.

WA est four Core ego (front Ornitin sent to Germany A • message pregnant with poSsibilitlee, the answer lu which en entire, world anxiously awaited, It was A message which rucent that Great Britain Weida stand by her treaty meats, and would throw her power into, line, to p'revent the tearing up of international agreements awl to prevent Geimany's rtesirg for place in the sun, by trampling out all weaker nations, from becoming a reality. it was en uitinutturn that Germany, before midnight, of that day, August 4, 1914 should send a 4• satisfactory reply to Britain's query as to Germeny's jefeetions toward Beigem, faith -1g which reply the British Ambassador was to ask ' for his pessports. Tie answer did not come, ante Britain prepared to go to Belgium's aid, The navy sailed for an ueknown destina ry ftion, prepared for eventuali- ties, The orders were given for the mobilization of the British Expedi- • 'terna,Force, Within a few weeks that orce had eneered the field againstd the Germens, and the epic of the retreat from Mons followed. 'The "contemptild,e little (British) army" play its part. It held the Germans back until Joffre's plans were corn, plete, and the first battle, af the Marne was fought and won by the Allies, with the British army playing anmp iortant part, • Since that time wonsWous changes have come aboet. Will, the 'declara- tion df war, the British Empire an- swered the blood' call. English and Scotch, Welsh and Irish, and over- seas men of all four races, responde ed to the call to arms. ' The "con- temptible little army" proved the dragon's teeth which, when sowed, brought forth thousands of warriors. The "Old Contemptibies" were but the first 160,000 of the British re- gular aripy of 500,000 The half -a million in their turn led the way for the 7,500,000 men, who since that time have donned khaki and have placed their all on the alter of Empire. Pour years balm elapsed since that momentous decision was taken, a decision from which Britain and the Empire have never wavered, despite the activities of Sinn British junk- ers. They have been four years of miracles, In that time the seem- ingly impossible has been achieved. On August 4, 1914, there were 500,000 men in arms in the British Empire. On August 1 of that year Kitchener, of honored memory, call- ed for an additional 100,000 men, who responded within two weeks. • From September 2 to September 8 of the same year 250,000 men vol- untarily presented themselves at the recruiting offices, By May, 1916, they had grown to 5,000,000 men, of whom all but 750,000 were vol- unteers, cheerfully answering the call of duty. To -day the record stands at 7,500,000, of whom 6,500- 000 enlisted from the " tight little islends," and a million went from overseas to answer the cal) of the Alotherlance of Empire need, of world democracy. From Canada have gone a round half million, from Australia slightly ' less in numbqr, from New Zealand, from South Africa, front all the crown colonies, dependencies and protectorates, as well as from other lands, Engish- • men; Scotchmen • and Irishmen , the call ringing in their ears, have given up all that they held dear, all that was in their possession or in prospect, to answer the appeal • of the mother. The old lion, no longer even appar- ently decadent, was well answered by her cubs. The blood ran true to form. Front England went two out 'of every 15 of the population, from Scotland the same, from Ireland one in 26, from Wales one in 10, front overseas one in 15. 'Camida con- tributed 7 per cent of her total populetion, British South Africa and Australia went one better with 8 per Celli, while New Zealand topped them all with 10 per cent. And of these. A million British- ers, home grown or colonial,' from the Motherland or the Dominions, Ile In the fields of France and Fland- ers, of Gallipoli or Egypt, of Palestine or Mesopotamia, or amid the swamps or jungles or deserts of the former Gerinan.colonies of Southwest Africa, East Africa of the Kamerun. Many are prisoners of the Huns—but for every Britlisher held in Germany there are four Germans in Britian. Hund- reds of thousands of others have been wounded, many of whom are to -day once again in the fighting. Canada gave of some 50,000 of her best blood, with still greater numbers who throughout their life will carry with them living momentoes of their heroic feats, Vinmy Ridge, Hill 70, above all the Second! Battle of Ypres, are a few of the 'beetles in which •Citeadians added lustre to their name-- to the name of the British Empire's fighting forces. • And to -day the EmPire commences the fifth year of the war, Not yet is the end in sight, A staggering blow has been struck at the Hun. The failure of the submarine cam- paign, has beee proven, despite the boastful utterances of the Kaiser. A ' inilion Americans are in France, with a million more on the way, and mllions behind them in reserve if needed. France and Italy are still heroically guarding . the' gates against the Hun. Britain is eating for stilt greater satrificee, and even nien of So are now forming part of that final reserve which will drive home to Berlin. The end of the war is • hot in sight, but there is no doubt is to the ultimate reckoning which Germany well have to pay, Britain on August 4, 1914, went to war to sustain treaty obligations. Behin.d this was Britain's resolve to ensure -freedom for the smell na- tions against aggrandizement by the' more powerful. In this resolve she stands unchanged.
