Sold by all Drug. gists, Grocers and General Stores, HEROISM AND PRAYER Chaplain's Life With Soldiers Strennh• ens His Faith In a letter to the London "Stand- ard," a "Chaplain to the Porcee" re- iates, some incidents of the war which he has witnessed himself in thee ourse of his duties, because, as lie himself felt before going out, the people to England do not fully realize the mean- ing of the war. He said: "Not long ago someone asked me whether the sufferings and horrors we saw did not tend to shake our faith in God. "Personally I have never passed through an experience that has more completely established and co'nflrmed my faith in God and my belief in His practical interposition in the affairs of men. Here is a man brought in to tbe ambulance or advanced dressing sta- tion terribly wounded— well-nigh crushed out of all semblance to hu- manity, utterin; piteous groans, wrung from him by his agony, in spite of him- self. Directly the chaplain kneels by his side to whisper a few simple words of solace, the groans are ;tushed for the moment, and the man listens eagerly to the message, and always finds strength to utter a heartfelt' 'Thank you. sir,' There is no room for sham or hypocrisy Here, and you have before your eyes the indisputable fact of real help and comfort given to the sufferer in his extremity. I have known a man, but a few ;tours removed from death, throw his arms about me neck in the gratitude and joy that filled his heart to overflowing. Another murmured over and over to himself, 'Oh, the sweet prayer! Oh, the sweet prayer!' Does this tend to shake one's faith in God?" BISHOP AND E2.1DIFiSTS The Bishop of Bristol, in ie dioces- an magazine, deprecates ":veil -meant but mischievous efforts by some aarn- est people to press for peace now, when there can be no gnesti00 of fellowship or• .reconcilletion," He writes: "What we are fit ting—and the sooner we all recognize it the better—is a system and spirit which mean death to every nobler trait of humanity, met destruction of all that we value as Christians, let alone as citizens of a free country. "Don't let us lose sight of this. We are up against the forces of evil and a spirit loosed from hell. It is the height of folly to suppose that to atop recruiting now will bring peaoe all. the sooner. To secure a peace while the vile and unhallowed spirit still holds sway will not Inaugurate a new and untroubled: era of Christian love and brotherhood. That is the vainest of dreams sand the most fatuous of delusions." W. F. CARROLL, B.A„ L.L.B., M.P. Member for Cape Breton South, the only member of the Canadian Par.

PROUD ,:SKIPPERS THESE Masters of Trawlers Despise Beaman• ship of Navy Every trawler is distinctive, and the 'tthrte character of the crew and of the life on board depends on the calk teen. There skippers are types who seem to have survived from an age long since gone by. You can always tell a North Sea trawler from a West country one, The North Sea skipping seem stern and taciturn, whereas the West countrymen, mostly Devobabire men, seem genial, loquacious. Alt Me, however, delightfully independent and express their views on things hi general in a manner which makes naval officers tremble for the disci• pltne of the service, They love to criticize everything. The aktpper of a trawler never will admit that any officer in tbe navy is a real seaman, They will stoutly maintain that sea- nranehip is a lost art, which can now only be found among themselves, and they love to hold forth on the handling of great battleships as they make their way into narrow harbors or take up difficult anchorages, pointing out how ' much better they could have done the lob themselves.

SPRtNG FASHIONS. A Description of the New Russian Blouse So Popular. Among the new biomes is a most al- luring model called the "tunic." Of course it is Itusshtn in type, and its important feature is an extension be- low the waist line, which gives the long, Russian tunic effect, This ex• tension is either gathered or circular and falls from a trim belt to midway between hip and knee. Worn over a separate skirt of harmonizing mate- rial, Che new Russian blouse glees the effect of a complete costume. The idea is a practical one, for any woman can turnisb the simple, well cut skirt and purchase one of these smart blouses to complete a really stunning new frock. In some of the smartest new waist models color is combined with white, either in the fabric itself or by the use of different materials, sueb as sheer silk crape and taffeta or -crape and wash satin. Very striking models in these color combinations are the waiets with a twoinoh stripe, alternating with ar stripe of sheer silk crape in a similar width. Porch Cushions, Porch Cushions are the gayest of the gay. And they see striped, in conform• ity with the general trend toward striped effects in decorations and home accessories of every sort. A11 the col- ors of the rainbow are seen to these cusbions for the swinging sent, the settee, the rocker and general utility, but the combinations of tints have been made so skillfully that the result, while undeniably vivid, is by no means unpleasing or crude.

FOWLER'S Extract of Wild Strawberry. Dysentery manifests itself with varying degrees of intensity, but in wen marked eases the attack is commonly preceded by loss of appetite, and some amount of diarrhoea, which gradually increases ill severity, and is accofnpanied with griping pains in the abdomen. The discharges from the bowels succeed each other with great frequency, and the matter passed from the bowels, which at first resemble those of ordinary diarrhoea, soon change their character, becoming scanty, mucous or slimy, and subsequently mixed with, or consisting wholly of, blood. Never neglect' what at first appears to be a slight attack of diarrhoea or dysen- tery may set in. Cure the first symptoms by the use of Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry. Mrs. John Peterson, Radville, Sask.,, writes: 1 cannot speak too highly for Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry, I nearly lost my little girl, aged three years. I took her to the doctor, and he told me her temperature was 104, and. forbid me taking her out to our home, six miles from town, but I was forced to go qn account of leaving my small baby borne. We managed to get her home„ but the fever dict not go any lower,. and we thought we would lose her sure, as she was so bad with dysentery she evea passed blood. A neighbor came in and brought Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry, and told ins to give ter a few closes, This we did, and the next day she took a change for the better, but it was quite a time before site was on her feet again. I do believe if it haci not beets for 'Dr. Fowler's,' my little one would have dial." The genuine 'Dr. Fowler's" is manu- factured only by the T. ,Milburn Co, Limited, Torofito, Ont.
