YOUNG WOMANHOOD
Girls upon the threshold of woman-
hood often drift into a decline in spite
of alt., care and attention. Even
strong and lively girls become weak,
depressed, irritable and listless. It is
the dawn of womanhood—a crisis in
the life of every girl—and prompt
pleasures should be taken to keep the
blood pure and rieh with the red tint
of health. If the body is not- in a
" healthy condithin at this critical stage,
grave disorders may result, and future
life become a burden. Deadly cone
sumption often follows this crisis in
the lives of young women. Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills have saved thousands
pf young girls from what might have
been life-long invalidism or early
death. They are a blood -builder of
unequalled merit, strengthening, weak
nerves and producing a liberal supply
of rich, red blood, whkh every girl
needs to sustain her strength.
Over and over again Dr. Williams"
Pink Pills have proved their value to
weinen and girls whoee health wag
failing. Miss Jennie Gereau, St. Jer-
ome, Que., says: "At the age' of
eighteen my health was completely
shattered; I was suffering from
anaemia with all its attendant evils.
The trouble forced me to leave school.
I suffered from headaches, was tired
and breathless at the least exertion,
I had no appetite, and my face and
lips were literally bloodless. A good
friend advised the use of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, and thaeks to this great
medicine I am again enjoying good
health, with a good appetite, good
color and a spirit of energy."
Every anaemic girl can be made
well and strong through the use of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Sold by all

Forces From Australia; New Zea-
land, Their Life, Pay and
Bearing.
Writing regarding the life of the
British troop e in Egypt, the London
Times' correspondent at Cairo, fur':
nishee an interesting sketch of war
time, recreation and organization of
the Dominion contingent here. He
says:
To soldiers and to civilians inter-
ested in the question of national de-
fence the organization of ,the Austra-
lasian expeditionary forces now sta-
tioned in Egypt is well worth study.
The great war caught the Australian
Commonwealth and the Dominion of
New Zealand, not, indeed, unpre-
pared, but in a period of military
transition from a system under
which the adult citizen troops were
raised 13er vountary enlistment on a
paid militia basis to one of universal
compulsory service on militia lines.
During this period' the "Trainees,"
that is, members of the adult citizen
force raised on the new compulsory
basis who have passed through their
recruits' course, have to be supple-
mented by the existing militia force.
Thus in Australia, where service in
the citizen army begins at the age
of 1, no recruits under the universal
compulsory service scheme, which
came into force on January 1, 1911,
could enter the citizen army before
July 1, 1912, and when Great Britain
declared war On Germany there were
only two "Trainee" classes, those of

are those of the British or Indian

All sorts and conditions of men are
to be found in the ranks of the con-
tingents: There are shepherds and
cattle Men owners of laege eStats,
professional and business men, work-
men and shopkeepers, The majority
of• the Aufitralian ; infantry ef the
first contingent are urban; though
a new contingent is largely composed
of countryfolk. The mcainted troops
are mostly country men, and include
a large number of "bushmen," many
of whom has% come from the "back
of beyond" to offer their servicee
to the Empire. The rural element
Is more numerous among the New
Zealanders. Most of the men are of
British and Mph origin. There are
a small number who claim, German
descent, the sons of grandeons of
German settlers, in whom their Brit -
Australian chiefs and comrades leave
full confidence.
Pay la high—from a mining= of
one dollar a day in the case of the
New 'Zealander to one and a quarter

however, the rank and file do not
receive more than 50 eents a day,
and the balance will be received by
them in a lump sum when the cam-
paign is over. A large number of
the men have considerable private
means. Twenty years is the mini-
mum age limit of the New Zealand-
ers, 19 among the Australians. Their
physique is admirable. The mini-
mum height accepted is 5 ft. 4 in.,
but the average of many battalions
is at least 5 ft. 7 in., and men of
6 ft. and over abound in every corps.
Long-legged, broad -shouldered, -and
deep -chested, they carry no super-
fluous flesh, and move lithely and
rapidly. To their physical advantages
they join exceptional quickness and
intelligence.

Commander Carlyon Bellairs, the
Feat British naval expert,. replied to The problem set to the military
the recent criticism of the British authorities of the Dominion and of
....navy appearing m American news -
Tapers suggesting that the navy
Might try a little initiative occasion-
ally, sending submarines to Cux-
haven, Kiel and Heligoland. Com-
mander Bellairs said:—
"The man who wrote that ought to
procure a scale chart and study it
for a few minutes with an American
naval officer at his elbow. Then he
might learn quite a lot. Cuxhaven
and -Kiel are hidden away behind,
miles of heavily mined sand banks,
as well as breakwaters. At Heligo-
land there are only a few German
torpedo, beats and submarines. In
naval warfare one goes by probabili-
ties, not possibilities. The British
submarine wouldn't have one chance
In a million of getting behind the
stone *Walls where the Germans hide
their fleet.
"It is not a question of initiative.
What our submarines have done
, scouting around Heligoland and
' -.around the Dardanelles proves this.
It is just a question of common-sense
tactics,

to come out to sea and leave its

A THRILLING, AERIAL DUEL.
French Machine Defeats a German
Taube.
Among the many stories of aerial
achrenture growing out of the war,
one' of the best is told by Frederick
A. Talbot, in The World's Work for
June, in a comprehensive, survey of
the advance in 'aviation: The hero is
an AmeriCan aviator, Frederick C.
Hild, a volunteer serving M the
French A.vlation Corps.. .
One day he was aloft up'on' a re-
connaissance. . The weather was
cloudy, so that glimpses of wiritt was
transpiring on the hostile territory be-
neath could only be obtained through
rifts in the banks, of vapor. While
careering through one of these open
spaces he caught sight of a Taithe,
and, his machine being fleet, he in-
stantly gave chase. The Taube turn-
ed, and -made for the cover. of a bank
of clouds, wit1P HildPrehot pursuit.
The latter worked his machine up to
ninety miles an hour, and was just
about to dive into the cover when a
German biplane was seen emerging
from the cloud. The latter showed
no disposition to run. It was armed
with a machine gun, while the pilot
and observer were well equipped with
Mauser rifles and pistols. A hot fire
was concentrated upon Hild and his
machine. The American aviator was
caught at a disadvantage, because the
attack was unexpected and for the
reason that the German machine had
the commanding position manoeuvring
immediately over the French aero-
plane.
This diversion Precipitated another
denouement. The Taube which had
dived into the bank of cloud, ascer-
taining that it was reinforced, now
turned round and showed fight. Hild
was caught between two fires. The
Taube was intent upon ramming him,
while Hild was exposed to a hot fire.
He returned the latter spiritedly, but
Was threatened by 'the Taube. There
was only one possible means 'of es-
cape—to dive vertically towards the
ground. Without a moment's hesita-
tion he jammed his elevating lever
hard over. The aeroplane quivered
and then answered her helm so com-
pletely that an involuntarY, looping
of the loop appeared imminent.
It was a thrilling "nose -ending"
dive, the machine being so vertical in
its descent that Hild and his observer
had to stand, leaning backwards, from
which precarious position he let drive
a final series of quick shots. The dive
was -so precipitate and vertical that
the German aviators ceased firing,
thinking that they had sent the
French monoplane to its last account
and, that it would give a final exhibi-
tion of ploughing. But after a verti-
cal dive of a thousand feet, Hild re-
gained control of the aeroplane, eased
the descent, regained the horizontal
plane and immediately started to
climb with all the speed he could mus-
ter.
The German machines, realizing
that they had been tricked, regumed
the pursuit, but Hild now held the ad-
vantage. The speed of his machine
proved invaluable. The Taubeestart-
ed a hot chase, but gave it up directly
it satv'that Hild had regained his ori-
ginal altitude and was quite prepared
to -resume fighting imerations. The
Taube turned and flew for its life,
but Hild had his report to give to his
commander, so he abandened attempt-
ing pursuit and returned to his own
lines.
the Commonwealth was, therefore,
to form a volunteer expeditionary
force as far as possible on the basis
of the existing organization. In New
Zealand the Government has not been
able to apply .the new .compulsory
system as strictly as did the Austra-
lian ,military authorities, but when it
was .stopped it retained a relatively
larger number of men beforce in
the new Territorial or adult citizen
army. It was thus able to form an ex-
peditionary force containing a some-
what larger proportion of trained
men than did the Australian conting-
ent. The staff of the New Zealand
force also contained a relatively
larger number of Imperial officers.
The organization of the force pre-
serves its connection with the exist-
ing citizen army with remarkable
thoroughness. It has not been pos-
sible for the Australian military au-
thorities to form" so close a connec-
tion between the adult citizen force
and the expeditionary troops. The
Territorial principle has been follow-
ed so far as recruiting .is concerned,
whenever this has been possible.
Officers end Men.
Of the officers now in Egypt a
very large majority have been pre-
eiously,trained in the • militia. The
remainder consist of Imperial offi-
cers attached to the Colonial forces,

The relations between the conting-
ents are very satisfactory. The
frequent boxing contests in aid of
sick and wounded soldiers are large-
ly attended, fairly and pluckily
-fought, and unmarked by "scenes."
City and provincial champions and
runners-up of all weights, amateur
and professional, abound among
them, and Cairo is consequently be-
coming quite a pugilistic centre.
There is plenty of friendly rivalry,
and amusing chaff ie_sometimes ex-
changed between troops from the
cattle -raising districts and those from
the sheep country, who, from time
to time, when other argument fails,
"moo" or bleat at one another to
express their cenviction that their
own occupation is infinitely superior
to that of their rivals. The races
held two or three times a month at

admire good horsemanship. Steps
have been taken to supply the
troops . with evholelome recreation,
reading rocene, a cafe, cinema show$
and the like, and the New Zealand-
ers have been conceded a "wet"
canteen. The troops are frankly 'im-
pressed with Cairo as a city, and
are agreeably , surprised with the
cliinate of Egypt. They "expected a
crematorium," as one of them recent-
ly wrote, and found a sanatorium in-
stead.
As fat a's material gees no Colonial
force has been better equipped. The
NewZealanders are well supplied,
but the equipment of the Australians
is perfection and surpasses that of
most regular armies. Their medical
equipment is. superlatively- good and

The Ceylon contingent which has
been in Cairo since October, is a
very well trained and smart body of
infantry, composed mainly of young
planters men of some fortune in most
cases, and in all of geed education
and extraction. A. number of its mem-
bers have been given commissions in

Dr. Hamilton's Pills strengthen the
stomach, improve digestion, strength-
en the nerves and restore debilitated
systems to health. By cleansing the
blood of long-standing impurities, by
bringing the system to a high point
of vigor, they effectually chase away
weariness, depression and disease.

The summer months are the most
dangerous to children. The complaints
of the season, which are cholera in-
fantum, colic, diarrlicea and dysentry,
come on so quickly that often a little
one is beyond aid before the mother
realizes he is ill. - The mother must
be on her guard to prevent these
troubles, or if they do come on sud-
denly, to cure them. No other medi-
cine is of such aid to mothers during
hot weather as is Baby's Own Tab-
lets. They regulate the stomach and

NEW FRUITS AND OLD. .
No Possibility of Tracing the Origin
of Vegetables.
So popular has the grapefruit be-
come on our tables that it is difficult
to remember that thirty years ago it
wasalmost unknown. With improved
methode of transportation and ettltie
vation, low many other delicious
fririts, as yet exotic or rare, may have
become as comenon as oranges and
bananae by the time the young folk of
to -day are Middle-aged! Not merit
of us are yet aequainted with the
plumcot, that interesting fruit, half
apricot, half plum; nor have we yet
tasted the guava, the durian, or
dozen other tropical delicacies that a
few years hence may accompany our
Morning cereal quite as a matter of
course.
Only a few of our common fruits
are native, and even fewer—none, in-
deed, except certain varieties of ber-
fies--are useful unimproved. The
peach, or matum Persicum, Persian
apple, came originally from Persia;
the quince from Cydonia in Crete;
the chestnut (eastanea) from Caetana,
a town of Pontus; the plum from
Syria and Damascus, an origin still
indicated in the name, of the damson,
or damascene, variety. The filbert, an
old chronicler records, was "so named
of Philibert, a king of France, who
caused by artee sundry kinds to be
brought forth."
Pliny testifies that cherry trees
were first planted in Britain twenty-
six years after their introduction into
Italy by Lucullus, who;' after the war
with Mithridates, brought them from
the king of Pontus's city of Cerasus.
,Their French name—ceries—and their
botanical one—eerasus—show this
origin more obviously than the Eng-
lish cherry, although the derivation is
the same. During the Saxon period
the cherry In England was allowed to
run out, and it was not reintroduced
until the gardener of Henry VIII.
brought it from Flanders, and planted
the first of the famous Kentish cherry
orchards.
The Romans lightly valued the in-
troduction of new fruits and flowers.
"The great, captains, and even con-
sular men," Sir William Temple has
recorded, "those who first brought
them over, took pride in giving them
their own names, as in memory of
some great service or pleasure they
had done their country; so that not
;alley laws and battles, but several
sorts of apples and pears were called
Manikin end Claudian, Pompeyan and
Tiberian."
- These services of the Roman cap-
tain's were, however, merely inciden-
tal; none of them rival in horticul-
tural devotion the act of the elder
Tradescant, gardener to Charles I.,
who enlisted on board a privateer
armed against Morocco solely with a
view to finding an opportunity to
steal' apricots into Britain. He suc-
ceeded; at what cost of battle, blood-
shed, diplomacy, or exchange under a
flag of truce, we do not know.
There is often no possibility of
tracing the origin or introductien of
vegetables—less esteemed and there-
fore less noted than fruits. We do
know, however, that Sir Walter Ra-
leigh introduced the potato into Eng-
land, and that Sir Anthony Ashley, of
Wimborne St. Giles, Dorsetshire, first
planted cabbages, which he got from
Holland. It was a useful innovation,
and he deserved the large and neatly
sculptured cabbage that is placed at
his feet upon his tomb.

SIR JOHN SIMON.
Youngest Man in British Coalition
Government.
Hardly any banister in Great Bri-
tain has attained such a high distinc-
tion at so early an age as Sir Jolln
Simon, who :had represented the
Crown in most of the sensational
cases tried at the Old Bailey, and who
at the age of forty-one is Home Sec-
retary in the British Coalition Gov-
ernment. ,
When he was `appointed Solicitor -
General, in 1910, Sir John was only
thirty-seven years of age, and such
'was his reputation in the legal world
that at that time he held retainers
from almost every railway company
in the country—a unique record.
Three years later he stepped into
the place of Attorney -General, and
thus became head d the English Her,
a proud position won, in the way
Englishmen like to see honors won,
by sheer ability and hard work; for
Sir John Simon is the son of a Con-
gregational minister, and owes noth-
ing to birth and influence.
Sir John, however, holds a some-
what humorous view of his profession,
judging by the remarks he made when
entertained a few months ago by the
Manchester Law Students' Society.
Although, on account of his taciturn-
ity, Sir John has often been referred
to by his friends as "Silent Simon,"
the description only partly fits, for
when the use of the tongue is neces-
sary, Sir John can use it with won-
derful effect.'
He was induced, too, on one occa-
sion, ,to recall some reminiecenses of
his youthful days. "My first pOlitical
recollection," he remarked, "is of
something that occurred—I think it
was in 1878—when I was a very small
boy going to a dame's school at Moss
Side, Manchester. I remember well
going out of the gate of the little
house where my father lived then,
and as I went out, carrying my sat-
chel to school, one of his friends came
running down the street waving a
newspaper and shouting something to
my father. I think it was about one
of the first speeches Mr. Gladstone
made in the early days of his Mid-
lothian campaign, and I heard my
mother calling me back because I was
wearing a blue tie. I can see her
little figure running upstairs 'and run-
ning down again with a red ribbon
which she tied around my neck."
- In the House there is no more popu-
lar man than Sir John Simon. He en-
joys the liking of both sides in poli-
tics, which is not always possible to
a politician of such keen intellect and
high debating powere as himielf:i He
has never been known to lose his tem-
per, and the fact that in one great
trial in which he appeared the jury
after five days were as closely inter-
ested in the details of the cast as they
were in the opening day was striking
testimony to his power of holding at-
tention.

Paper Money.
The Chinese anticipated what we
might think to be an essentially mod-
ern convenience — banknotes and
"paper money"—so long ago as 2697
B.0.-4,600 years ago! One such
banknote, issued nearly 3,300 years
ago, is still preserved in the museum
at Petrograd. The Chinese called
their notes "flying money," or "con-
venient money."- They bore the name
of the bank, date of issue, a number,
an official signature, its value in
words and figures, and, as an addi-
tional precaution against forgery and
as a help to the igrtorant, a pictorial
representation in coins of an amount
equal to the fece value pf the note.
Holders of the notes were, by an
inscription, exhorted to "Produce all
you ,can; spend with economy.
It is stated that the notes were
printed in blue ink, and made of pa-
per woven from the fibre of the mul-
berry tree. .
These notes bore also a warning
inscription of the penalties of
counterfeiting.

DECLINE IN LITIGATION.
One of the Effects of the War In
England.
So rapid were the judicial methods
of Sir George Jessethat he some-
times did not sit in court because
there were no cases left for him to
try.
A judge sat on the judgment seat,
A goodly judge was he.
He said unto the Registrar,
"Now call a cause for me."
"There is no cause," said Registrar,
And laughed aloud with glee;
"A Jessel's wit has despatched them
all;
I can call no cause for thee."
The King's Bench judges are rapid-
ly getting into the same position' says
the London Globe. They startedtheir
sittings this week with only thirty-
five jury actions in their lists, and
they have disposed of them all. If
thatemtion is happy which has no liti-
gation the war *promises to secure for
us at least this measure of bliss.

They were about the roughest, raw-

He worked hard at them for three
hours, and at last thought they were
getting into soine sort ofshape, so he
decided to test them.
"Right turn!" he barked. Then be-
fore they had ceased to move came
another order: "Left turn!" "
One yokel slowly left the wanks and
made off toward the barrack room.
"Here, you!" yelled the sergeant,
angrily, "where are you off to?"
"Ah've had enough," replied the re-
cruit, in disgusted tone. "Tha does-
