Hamilton, Ont.—"I am a great be
`Bever in Dr. Pierce's medicines, I am
speaking from the actual use of them and
the great benefit I have derived therefrom.
Shorty after my marriage I began ailing,
had a very bad cough and got very thin
' and was run down. My people thought
I was going into a decline. They got Dr.
Pierces 'Golden Medical Discovery' and
this medicine completely cured me."—
Mae, AuaLIA lIeBBann, 26 Cheever St.
Kilbride, 'Ont.—"When 1 was only
eleven menthe old my mother procured
'Golden Medical Discovery' for me.
I have taken it several tithes myself since
land about one year ago l gave it to my
two children. They i recovered very
quickly with no bad results, after taking
one bottle. i have recommended it to
quite a number of late."—Mas. W. J.
STMKINS, Kilbride, Ont.
The best time to cure a coughis when
lit state, Ordinarily, a few doses of Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will
!cure a cough at the beginning. But even
when the cough is deep-seated and the
body is wasted by emaciation, Dr, Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery will in most
cases effect a permanent cure:
Get it to -day from any medicine dealer;
it is a powerful blood purifier, so pene-
trating that it even gots at the impure
deposits in the joints and •carries them
out of the system.
Remember it is not a patent medicine
for its ingredientsareprinted on the
wrapper. St's a pure glyceric extract of
roots, made without alcohol.
Depend upon this grand remedy to
give you the kind bf blood that makes the
skin clear and puts ambition and energy
into theentire body. You will nofabe
disappointed. For 'free advice, write

RUSSIANS RESPECT
WOMEN WARRIORS
Take It As a Matter. of Course The
They. Should Help In 'Fight—Over
Five Hundred In Czar's Armies
About dee hundred women are fight -
gad as reamer soldiers of the Car
They have to enlist nominally as men
but their presence ie winked se by th
;higher military .ofiibials and many o
them have been 'decorated with im
portant honors for gallantry outhe
field of battle.
The treatment of these notable wo
Men warriors by the Russian co'nirnor
soldiers well Illustrates some peculiar
}ties of the Russian temperament
The Russian rrrujik, or peasant, is o
an intensely religious nature. IIe is
ignorant, but dreamy and eh;losophi
cal, holding to many beautiful super
stitfons. 13e is used to living in sum,
communities where women .are held in
as high esteem as anywhere else in
the world. If a husband dies, the
widow taker his place in the village
council and has a full voice in the
local government. It is a measure o1
woman suffrage which has come down
from antiquity. As a result, 'the Res -
elan soldier in the trenches does no
joke about a woman fighter who hap-
pens to be in his division. He does
not see in it a subject for jest. it is
for him quite a matter of course.
Still less is he inclined to offer tier
any indignity. Thie' woman who is ex-
posing herself to shell and bullet and
poison gas for the glory of the Rea;-
glans he treats with the highest res-
pect. •Indeed, as the woman Who has
donned soldiers' uniforms is of a much
higher order of intelligence than the
common soldier, the latter looks up to
her and iu an emergency follows her
leadership unhesitatingly•

Numerous incidents reported from
the front bear out these statements.
A vase that is attracting much atten•
tion is that of Mme. Ifokovtzoff, a we
man of considerable wealth. She first
spent all her fortune in hospital work
for wounded soldiers. Finding her
usefulness along this line at an end,
she applied to a General in the city
of Hanna for permission to enlist as a
Volunteer in the forces he was raising.
"No, that would be impossible," re-
plied the General,"no soldier could be
taken with such hair, 111 the first
place."
Mme. Kokovtzoff indeed had beauti-
ful masses of dark Bair, and every
Russian soldier must wear his ,hair
closely clipped. The following day
Mee. Kokovtzoff again Sought an in-
terview with the General. As she
entered the room he sprang Trona his
seat and uttered an exclamation of
astonishment, Mme, Kokovtzoff's.fine
looks were gone. The General capit•
ulated and the woman was allowed to
enlist.
She was engaged in many battles
and tools part in such a way that she
roused the courage of the soldiers to
high pitches of valor and encouraged
them to many deeds of heroism. Then
she was seriously injured and was
brought to a hospital which she her-
self had established and endowed. She
recovered' and as scan as she was al-
lowed to leave her bed, and while her
wound was still not completely heal•
ed, she busied herself with the care
of the other wounded.
It is expected that she will be al-
lowed to return to the front soon, as
Is her wish. Persons -who have inter-
viewed her say that war has not
roughened her in the least, and that
the has retained her tine, womanly
character throughout,
Girl Won Man's Decoration
The duties of a field nurse, or Sis-
ter of Mercy, do not satisfy the crav-
ing of the Russian woman to assist in
the great struggle. In the political
disorders of the last thirty years wo-
men have done at least half the work.
Kira Baekiroff was a pupil in it girls'
college' when the war started. She
cut off her tresses and enlisted as a
volunteer in one of the infantry regi-
ments of Grand Duke Nicholas. She
took part le a aeries of daring recon-
noitering expeditions and aroused the
enthusiasm 01 the soldiers of her regi-
ment, but the activity of this life did 1
not satisfy her. So she enlisted un-
der the name of Nicolas Popoff in one
of the regiments of Siberian sharp-
shooters which bore the brunt of the
great battle of Lodz. Again she per-
formed deeds of valor, and her cora-
patty
onparry unanimously petitioned that she
receive the Cross of St. George, the
badge of courage. She had concealed
her sex in this command, but shortly
after receiving • the Dross her secret
was discovered. She was then sent
teems. By a special order of the Czar
she is permitted to retain her distine
tion, which is usually given only to
men, Two other women, Mlle. Kras-
silnikoff and Mme, Sameonoif, have
also had the Cross of St. George pin-
ned on their uniforms.
One might also mention Ogla Jehh
weiser, who proved to be of special
value to the Russian foroes, She is a
Lithuanian woman and served as a
soldier in the war against the Japan-
ese, taking part in several engage-
ments.
At the beginning of the great war
she again put herself at the disposal'
Of General Rennenkampf, under whom
she had fought in Manchuria, She
was brought •up in the vicinity of
Grodno and has special knowledge of
the roads, forests and swamps of this
difficult country, She led the Russian
detachments on several raids which
'brought highly gratifying results.
When the history of this great war
comes to be written, the work of these
,daring Muscovite women will not be
forgotten, These women are not wo-
man suffrage workers or "feminists,"
in the sense meant by Western Eur-
ope. Dat their deeds cannot help hay-
ing an effect on the place of woman

MODERN JERUSALEM
WEALTHY JEW'S DREAM
Nathan Straus Hopes to Bring Health
and Sanitary Conditions to People
of the Holy Land
To recreate the Iloly Land Is tire
immense prefect to be'undertaken 'by
Nathan Straus, oue of the greatest
of New Yo'k merchant princes.
Straus, with his two ,sons, Nathan,
jr., and H. Grana Straus, retired from
the firm of 13., •i3. Macey & Co:; lu
New York, to devote all their' eneo
pies to bringing Palestine into the
full realm or _twentieth' century pro-
gress. Nathan;, jr., will go to the ale
eterithome: of the Jewish people to
take up there .oue part 01 his father's
new -planned philanthropy -to try by
installing modern Sanitation systems
there largely to prevent stoknees
among the people, bather and son
are both ardent Zionists: •
A great suite of .offices Idas been
equipped in New York.' for the carry-
ing
arrying on of the commercial end c1 this
great project and hundreds ofletters
and applications for aid are received
weekly. The senior Straus will divide
his time between the New York office
and the Holy Land.
In his plans for rehabilitating
Palestine Straus includes the estab-
lishment of complete sewage systems,
a totally new water supply, the most
modern health and sanitation bureaus,
milk stations and soup kitchens as
well as clinics for' the treatment or
various scourges.
The urgent need of suoli work is
shown by nn article in a leading
medical journal, which says: "Jerusa-
lem is a city In which oqe out of
every five of its 70.000 inhabitants
carries the parasite of malaria in his
blood and three-fifths of the popu-
lation give evidence of enlargement
of the spleen. These recta, so strike
Ing because of the enormous amount
of preventable disease and so jathetic
because they mean so large a loss
of human usefulness, are not hearsay
figures. They are facts.
"In the light of present-day know-
ledge the pictures of the primitive
sanitary arrangements that still ob.
tain in ancient Jerusalem would fur -
NATHAN STRAUS
nish an interesting object lesson. As
might be expected, malaria -bearing
mosquitoes reign supreme. Their
chief breeding places are the cisterns
which provide the water supply from
the rain on the housetops,"
Straus' philanthropies in Palestine
have not in the past been restricted
to persons of his own religious faith,
and have not been conducted in any
sense of the word as religious or
racial undertakings. Ills concern has
been, and will continue to be, he says,
with'humanity and the alleviation of
its sufferings through proper preven-
tive and curative health measures.
In Palestine, the Jewish, ,Christian,
and Mohammedan population alike
has shared and will continue to share
in the benefits of his works.

If there is a wash basin in your
kitchen the chances are you are com-
pelled to look for it every time you
want to use It. That is the way it
usually Is. Why not fix things so that
the basin is kept In the same place
and that plane right alongside' the
sink? Get a length of heavy wire—
ordinary bide wire will do -and bend
It in the shape shown in the draw -
Mg. The basin rests in that hook

ITALY'S AIR FLEET
Although our Italian Allies started
ate in the building of aeroplanes,
hey now possess an air fleet -which Is
far superior to that of Austria, and
Joh compares 'very favorably with
that of Germany and Britain. At the
eginning of the war it consisted of
Mbout 200 aeroplanes, and since then
aly has been building and buying
aeroplanes' and training pilots at a
'tremendous rate. The Italian aerial
}Beet consists of various types of ma-
chines, but prinoipamiy 01 small, fast
Ibiplanes, similar to those oe Britain
Which have ben so succeed on active
service.
Italy is also well equipped in regard
}to airships. She had at least nine '
!when the war' started, including four
government -hunt airships, each driven
er two 260h.p, engines, baying a speed
lot forty-four miles and ability to climb
About 7,000 feet.
For operations over the mountains
oftNorthern Italy these ships should
Ibe of the greatest value, for they can
hang about : over valleys and gorgee
}Where aeroplanes could- neither start
!nor land, and most of them have suffi-
cient speed to work in quite a fair
iivInd, and sufficient climbing power to
keep out of the way of any ordinary
gun. For sea work also they are very
jueeful in patrolling the, Adriatic, for
}they are faster than the fastest sea-
,craft.
"As pilots and as aviators—using
Ale word as being analogous to sea-
men—the Italians," says Mr. C. G.
}Grey, the English aviation export,
'"rank with the first in the world. They
'are quick and daring, as one would
expect from a race which has pro-
duced many of the finest living horse -
ratan, for the horseman's hands and
eye aro just what a flier needs most."
