That is the way most peo- ple f eel in the spring. Easily tired, appetite fickle, sometimes headaches, " and a feeling of depreeeion. Pimples or eruptions may appear on the skin, or there may be twinges of rhemna- time or neuralgia. Any of these in- clicate that the blood is out of order thatthe indoor life of winter has left its mark upon you and may easily develop into more serious •trouble. Do not dose yourself with purge.- .• tives, as so many people do, in the hope that you can put your blood . right. Purgatives gallop through the eystern and weaken instead of giving strength. Any doctor will tell you 1, this is true. What you need in spring is a tonic that will make new blood ' and build up the nerves. Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills is the only medicine that can do this speedily, safely and surely. Every dose of this medicine makes new blood, which clears the • skin, strengthens the appetite and makes tied, depressed. men, women and'children bright, active and strong. L. R. Whitman, Harmony Mills, N.S., says: "As a tonie and strength build- er I consider Dr. Williams' Pink Pills wonderful. My whole system was badly run down, and although I faith- fully took a tonic given me by my ebor I could note no improvement. Then I began Dr. Williants' Pink Pills, and was soon restored to my old time health. I can most heartily endorse this medicine."

Brave Conduct ,of Raynes, Royal Horse Artillery. For centuries the world has ap- plauded the deed of Sir Philip Sidney, who on • the battlefield, although wounded and thirsty, took the cup of water from his own lips and gave it to a wounded comrade with the words, "Thy necessity is greater than • mine. • Not less noble was the conduct of Sergt. John Crawshaw Raynes of ' the Seventy-first Battery, Royal Field •Artillery, one of the many unselfish ' heroes of the present war. At a um- , merit when his battery was being bom- barded by explosive and gas shells, 'Sent. Ayers fell wounded some forty • yards away. When "Cease fire!" sounded, Sergt. Raynes, regardless of the constant siielr fire of the enemy, ran to the help of his fellow soldier. He bandaged him quickly and then went,back to his post where the order for action called him. ' During the next pause he called two The heroes—the real heroes—of Verdun are the town firemen. Two civilians have figured in previous stories. It is not positively known how this pair managed to remain be- hind when every other man and wo- man and child was forced by the sol- diers to flee front the ram of Ger- man shells. One of them bee some ill-defined occupation which has been recognized by the soldiers. The other once owned a home in Verdun. When visitors come to the ciby now he waits, smiling, as though in propitia- tion, until he can gain their attention. "Come with me," he begs. So the visitors go with him. By - and -bye they come to the shattered wall, which is all that remains of what was once a handsome house. The man who once owned it stands on the pile of stone which ,nark what was once a doorway, and beckons to the visitors. "Come in," he says. "I bid you welcome. This is my home." But the civilians, homehow, have not the appeal to me that the old firemen have. When the war began the younger men of the Fire Depart- ment were mobilized. Some were not needed then, but as months pass- ed by they found their way into the army. Manifestly the town could not be left without protection from fire. So men who had served in for- mer years in the Fire Department and had been superannuated volun- teered their services. Little by little old men joined, until at last there were enough for a full company. Then the Germans attacked Verdun. Old Iffeemen Remained. The civilians—man, woman and child—were ordered out. The old fire- men would not go. They were in the service of the State just as much as any man who festers in a trench or men. Some of them, I am told, have been killed. One expects courage of a soldier and of young men. These men were old. SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. Lord Shaughnessy Thinks Canada Has MuirmwOvrt-mwerm,....

The system has excited the admiration of every one who has learned of it. First it was necessary to arrange all the details in advance; then to requisition, buy and bring to- gether these innumerable automobile trucks; then to recruit their drivers, to assemble at the starting points the bread, meat, wine, projectiles and medical supplies, to load them and fin- ally to regulate their march until it now goes on like clockwork all through the day and night.
