W!i News t trY1 .�r Affected Here Many people who have been reading the terrible war news from day to day. especially those who have relatives at the seat of war, have become so nervous that it is impossible for them to sleep. The nerves have become unstrung and the heart perhaps affected. Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills will build up the unstrung nervous system and strengthen the weak heart. Miss Hildia Dicaire, Martintown. Ont., writes: "In August, 1914, I was ant of school for my health. I was visit- ing friends In London, and heard of the war. It made me so nervous that I could not sleep, but after using Mil - burn's Heart and Nerve Pills I improved fatly, and could take my school again. I have recommended them to many of my friends," Milburn's Heart and Nerve- Pills -are attic per box, 3 boxes for 81.25 at all I dealers, or mailed direct on receipt of !price by The T. Milburn Co.

Legal Queries Mrs. F. 0, Clinton. -Qu. -Is it necee Bary foe an employee to give an em plover two weeks' notice before quitting? Aus.-It is not necessary for an employee to give two weeks', notice or any other notice 'before quitting bis employment unless he agreed to give notice before quitting his employment. In the 7 province of Ontario the law does not make it necessary that an employer shall, give notice before discharging his employee nor that an employee shall give notice before 'quitting his employment, except In cases where tbb life, safety or health of the public is Concerned. Sec, 400 of the Criminal Code makes it a punishable offence for an employe to break bis contract, knowing that the probable consequence may he to delay or prevent the running of any train or,' delay the transmission of the mails, etc. Sometimes we wonder if es'ome one has blundrod" in not appoint- ing Col, Sam Hughes to overseas command.

The 00th cen- tm•y should not be called upon to wetness' such carnage. Canada's trade for the past fiscal year totalled over a billion dollars. While harclly up to the previous 12 months, no doubt owinghnto the tis turbing influence! of the war, it proves beyond(' a doubt how .solid are the foundations upon 'which the business of this land is built.
