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 IRE GARRISONING OF EGYPT DOMINION OF CANADA TROOPR • ARE THERE. 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 medicine dealers or by mad at 60 cents a box or six boxes foree2.50 from The 19124913 and 1913-1914, the second j Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, of which had only ust completed Ont its recruit training M the ranks.

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 among- the Australians. At present, 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. Their Life Off Duty. 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, "The German fleet only needs just to come out to sea and leave its stonelocked fortresses for a few hours in order to get all the trouble It ever will be able to seek." The: trouble wit:—som—e men is that they're satisfied with merely want- ing th do the right thing. , t Antipodean Problems. 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, officers of the permanent forces who - ICE CRAM' A FOOD A VALUABLE food if it's pure.

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 the Khedival Sporting Club. attract the majority of those who have leave from camp, while their gymkhanas are well worth watching by all who 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 a large corps of nursing sisters, smartly uniformed in dove grey with red shawl, has reached Cairo and will probably be reinforced in the near future. The horses are ex- cellent and the veterinary service is extremely efficient. The Ceylon Contingent. • 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 the Indian Army Reserve of Officers, .while the .remainder are at present attached to the New Zealand con- tingent.

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 bowels and are absolutely safe.

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.

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. Minard's Liniment Cures Colds, Etc. .An Expert.

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.
