REPULSED
Dangerous Condition Relieved Just in
Time By "Fruit-a.tives"
MR. F. J. CAVEEN
682 Gerrard St. East, Toronto.,
For two years, 8 was a victim of
Acute Indigestion and Gas In The
Stomach. It afterwards attacked my
Heart, and I had pains all over the
body, so I could hardly move around:
I tried all kinds of medicines but none
of them did me any geed. At last,
acting on the advice of a friend, I
decided to try 'Fruit -a -tires'. I bought
the first box last June, and now I tun
well, after using only three boxes.
I recommend 'Fruit -a -tires' to anyone
suffering from Indigestion, no matter
how acute". " FRED 1. CAVEEN.
Simple Indigestion often leads to
Heart Attacks, Catarrh of the Stomach
and constant distress of mind and body.
If you are bothered with any Stomach
Trouble, and especially if Constipation
troubles you, take 'Fruit-a•tives'.

There are four military decorations
to be won in the war. The greatest
of these Is the Victoria Cross, a bronze

instituted by Queen Victoria iu 1856,
and is open to Officers and men alike.
It is eSat from P.ussiail cannon cap-
tured at; Ee'astopol, and its material
value is ert!ulated at nine cents, but
those who are given it rank as "the
bravest of the breve." Until the pre-
sent war but 022 crosses had been
given—ill for the Crimea war, 182
for the hldian mutiny, 78 for the Boer
war and the rest among 37 other wars.
Th e Distinguished Service Order
was instituted by Queen Victoria In
1886, it purpose giving the "reeog-
nition of special services of commis-
sioned °dicers in the army and navy,"
The order entitles its members to
bear the letters D.S.O. after their
names. The badge is a gold cross
enamelled white, oue side bearing an
heraldic crown surrounded by a wreath
of laurels. It is warn by a red ribbon
edged blue.
The Military Cross is ot silver. It
le 1.% inches square, and the bar is
1% Inches wide. The ribbon is 1%
inches wide by iu inches high, of
three equal stripes, the centre dark
purple and the others white. From
the Lop of the ribbon to the bottom
of the cross is 8 11-16 inches. The
cross bears in the centre the letters
O,R.I., and on each arm of the cross
is the Imperial Crown. The Royal
Warrant says: "No person shall be
eligible for this decoration unless he
is a captain, a commissioned officer
of a lower grade, or warrant officer
in the British army or Indian or
colonial military force, and the cross
Shall be awarded only to officers of
the above ranks on the recommen-
dation of the secretary of state for
war. Foreign officers of an equivalent
rank to those mentioned above who
have been associated in military
operations with the British, Indian or
Colonial forces shall be eligible for
the honorary award of the cross. The
Military Cross shall not confer any
individual precedence, and shall not
entitle the recipient to any addition
after his name as part of his descrip-
tion or title."
The Distinguished Conduct Medal
was very extensively awarded after
the South African war. It is a decor-
ation designed for warrant and non.
commissioned officers and men.

The Rob Roy of Albania, Essad

ticularly to the relish of the Italian au
tcrities, Fserid has a great follow•

Political, he will undoubtedly be their
choice foe sing. Essad Pasha is su-
perior to the average run of Albanian
chieftains. He comes of an old Moslem
family; the Toptani, whose seat is at
Tirana, This 00 probably the richest
and host powerful clan to the country.
Essad could summon 500 faithful re-
tainers in a day from among his own
personal followers.
Essad Pasha was educated for the
Turkish Army, and sought bravely in
the war between Greece and Turkey
hh 1897, His reputation as a first class
letting malt reached the ears of Abdul
tamid, who made his brother, Ghana
ley, his tilde -camp. There eame;a Me-

There he ruerrelied wih Tater O: -

Moslem raided cer+atn houses, in one
of which he discovered his superior
Tatar Osman Pasha. As the Pasha re•
fused to give his name, Essad gave
him a particular sound thrash n;.
He withdrew after ti's Meld nt to
his estates, and was thele in 100

sympathies.
In A-trii, 1009, the re o ct'on broke
out. The troops marched from Sal,
°nice to depose the Sultan, and the
SI eilrh.ul.Is'am issued a f• .twa'dopes-
ing Abdul Hamid. 'then the question
arose who should take the message to
the Sultan. Essad rose before the
committee, and slowly and grimly re-
plied: "I will go." Tsombl ng from
head to foot the Sultan Inst the broth-
er of Gh.:rri Bey, who announced hie
deposition. Flis warfare with the
Young Turks continued In spite of this
incident. He figured in such violent
scenes in the fast Chamber that Inc
had to bo dragged away from. threaten-
ing the Speaker.
Then Inc returned to Albania. where
he declared his severance rom the
Young Turks. But on the outbreak rf
the Balkan War In 1012 he was anx-
ious that Albaniashould not be cut up
by the Powers, and hastened to Scu-
tari with a relief column. He became
Governor, and gallantly defended it for
many weeks against the Montenegrins.
At last he made peace with Nicho-
las, under which he was able to roarcd
out with 24,000 men, his guns and all
the honors of war. One of the condi-
tions was that King Nicholas recog-
nized Essad as an independent Prince
of Albania, and Eased was so proclaim-
ed at Tirana.in April, 1018. The Great
Powers, however, refused to accept
him and selected Prince William of
Wied. For a time Ifssad Pasha act-
ed as War Minister to the German
Mpret, but it was always a hollow
peace, and Essad organized a revolt.
He was for the time unsuccessful, but
escaped on en Italian steamer to 13rin-
dish. After the flight of the un'usky
Mpret Essad returned. and enteral d
Durazzo with 10,000 troops. T :ere
the Albanian Senate elected him Presi-

Commandt:r-in-Chief of the military
forces.
Amid shouts of "Long live our Ea-
sed-" the new ruler broke the seal
of the Palace, and went to sleep 111,.

Regulate Kidneys
AND
Relieve Constipation
Gin Pillsare acknowledged to bare, the
largest sale of any proprietary medicine in
Canada—au achievement solely due, to- their
remarkable virtue as a Kidney andBladder
remedy.
But users of Gin Pills have discovered that
this invaluable remedy also acts ns a mild
cathartic. The evidence of hundreds of letters
we have received establishes the very logics,
fact that iu compounding a medicine to heal
and tine up the Kidneys and Bladder certain
of the ingredients have a stimulating effect
upon the other organs, especially the bowels.
It is important to know, in the case: of con-
stipated patients, that Gin fills do not act
harshly on the bowels; there is no
griping,
but n gradual and gentle restoration o the
function. 'l'ry Gin Pills for constipation. In
taus relieving the bowels, you safeguard your-
self against possible Kidney trouble.

Alfalfa will grow on almost any
type of productive soil if it is well
drained and if it is not acid.
In many cease soil must be inocu-
lated with nitrogen gathering bad
t'eria for alfalfa, and this may be
done in either of two ways. Soil may
be procured from an alfalfa field or a
sweet clover patch and applied at the
rate of from 200 to 300 pounds an
acre to, the new field just before sow-
ing, This soil should not be allowed
to dry before it is applied. The other
method of inoculation is by means of
cultures.
Alfalfa should be cut when the
new growth from the base of the
plant is from one to three inches
high, regardless of whether the plant
is in bloom or not, so the college
authorities state, Tbia new growth
starts as the plants reach maturity.
