When the food you ta,ke fails to

and often a feeling of extreme
nausea, the cause is indigestion.
Your stomach is too feeble to do its
work and you will continue to suf-

People succeeds by building up 'and
enriching the blood supply, so that
the feeble digestive organs are

the following typical instance. Mrs.
James Boyle, Dartmouth, N.S.,
says "For years I was a sufferer
from indigestion. I eould not take
food Without feeling terrible .dis-

quence I was badly run down.
Sometimes after eating I. would
take spells'of dizziness with a -feel-

would palpitate so violently that I
feared I would die, Naturally I was
doctoring, continually, but without
getting better. Then my husband

TEETH AND THE APPLE.
Expensive Sweets Said to Ruin the
— Teeth. .
Dr., Sims' Wallace, 1,ate dental
surgeon to the London Hospital,
• urges the adoption of a. diet con-
taining a good quantity of farina -
mous food in a form which will
atimulate mastication—brown bread
and the eating of fresh fruit:with
every Meal..
• The impertance of the proper care
of teeth cluringsehildhood is becom-
ing- 'universally recognized, and
the London County Council have es-
tablished a centre for the treatment
of'dental troubles of schoolchildren
with X-rays. •
According te investigations it was
found that about 39 per cent. of
the children of well-to-do parents
have bad teeth, as against 27 per
cent. from poorer homes. This is
probably accounted for by the fact
that, as the. latter children eat
coarser food, their teeth have more
work to do, and are consequently
stronger and cleaner. Their sweets
are also 'fewer, and are mostly of
the cheap, boiled, sugar variety.
These sweets break up cleanly in
the mouth, whereas the caramels
and chocolates "eaten by the children
of indulgent parents cling to the
teeth .and ferment. .
Boys and- girls should be given
fruit in preference to sweets. Nuts
and all hard fruits encourage mas-
tication. The best fruit' for this
purpose is the apple. Eaten at the
conclusion of a ine•al it leaYes the

ROMANCE OF WAR IS BEAD
THE SPADE IS AS IMPOR'TANT
'AS, TIRE RIFLE:
No Battle Flags aid No 'Charging
Columns on Modern
Battlefields.
The glory and the romance of war
is dead. It has become chiefly a
matter of cold calculation, a bloeslY
business of long distance slaughter,
with no longer any opportunity for
dashing personal heroism, says
Henry M. Hyde, in the Chicago.

the 'Japanese had at Mukdems-will

this great 'battle wad' fought.
Wires Displace Couriers.
Never ',again will a courier, bear-
ing orders from headqnarters to
division and corps commanders,
have two horses shot under him as
he dashes across the (battle front.
Orders go out to -day from head -
,quarters over the field telephone
wires, which reach every flingadp
commander, as he too, sits in safe-
ty far back o:f the line of fire.
Never again ' will a 'battery • of
field guns gallop 'madly into action,
with the gunners sitting with cross-
ed •arins on the caissons and the
infantry cheering their rescuers.
Modern fie:1d guns are located out
of sight over the shoulder of a hill,
three miles' or moth away. The
gunners newer even get a sight of
the army they are firing at. Their
fire is guided by calculations care-
fully made by an expert mathema-
tician, who site down in a hole in
the ground and figures trajectories
and curves and makes allowances
for wind pressure.
Modern' Battle Field.
"Hold your fire until,you see the
whites of the enerny's eyes," is an
heroic command :that will never be
given in a modern battle.
Modern infantry • dig themselves
a nice deep ditch in the ground
about two miles away from the first
of the enemy's lines, To the pre-
sent day soldier the ,spade is almost
as important as the gun. He gets
down into his ditch so that only his
eyes and the tdp of his head are
in sight at all. And he looks across
an apparently perfectlF empty plain
to where in the dim distance he is
told the hostile intrenclunent lie.
Newer in a modern battle picture
will a solid column of charging men'
be shown rallying round their cher-
ished battle flag, .which can be seen
but dimly through the clouds of
black smoke.
Maps AllsImportant
There are no battle flags, no
smoke. and no charging colunins on
modern battlefields, 'Phe presence
of a flag on the battle line Would
instantly reveal its location to.the
enemy. Smokeless powder has tak-
en the place of the old cloud beldh-
ing, explosive, and one may look
over a modern battlefield with a
hundred field 'guns in action .and
not he able to locate one of .Shern.
As for isolid columns of charging
men—a. modern infantry attack is
a far different affair.

it will be found that eath of the
contending parties will have in its
possession maps showing every
most minute variation . of the
ground. It is likely that each COM.

modern warfare is the creation of
an international spy system,

1 Nova Scotia Case of
Interest to All Woinen
Halifax Sends Out a Message of Help
to Many People.
Eallfax, N.S., Dec. 15.—When inter-
viewed at her home at 194 Argyle St.,
Arse, Hayerstook was quite willing to
talk of her peculiarly unfortunate case.
"I was always 'blue' and depressed,
felt weak, languid and utterly unfit
for any work. My stomach was so
disordered that I had no appetite -
What I did eat disagreed. I suffered
greatly from dizziness and sick head-
ache and feared a nervous breakdown.
Upon my druggist's recommendation
I used Dr. Hamilton's Pills.
"I felt better at once. Every day I
improved. In six weeks I was a well
woman, cured . completely after differ-
ent Physicians had failed to help the.
It Is for this reason that I strongly
urge sufferers with stomach or diges-
tive troubles to use D. Hamilton's
Pills," • -

USE OF BOTH EYES.
Apparent Distance of Objects De-
pends on USe of Both Eyes.
Most people are: unaware that the
apparent distance of an object de-
pends upon the use of both eyes.
This feet however, can be striking-
ly shown: • Place a, pencil so that
two or three inches project over
the edge of a table. Then stand
alongside the table, close one eYe
and .atkmpt toknock the pencil off
by quickly hitting the projecting
end with the tip of the forefinger.
Almost invariably the person mak-
ing the attempt underestimates the
distance by an inch or more, and,
much to his surprise, misses the
pencil entirely. One -eyed people,
accustomed to estimating distances
onlywith one eye, of course have
no trouble in hitting the pencil at
the first trial.
To make a person think theraare
two marbles where only one really
exists, have him cross the second
finger dyer the first, close his eyes,
and tell 'how many marbles, he is
touching when you .hold a single
one in contact with the ends of the
two crossed fingers. The illusion
isvery startlingand the person al-
most invariably has to be shown the
single Marble before he believes
there- is Only one. If a marble is
not tonvenient, the end of a pencil
or other small object may be used.
To test your °Iibilitsioto make your
muscles work as you desire, try
sliding the •forefinger el 'the left
hand backwardand forward along
the' sides of a table; at the .same
time, tap in the smile spot with a
pencil in the right hand so that the
end touches the path the forefinger
follows. At first it is ex-tremely
difficult to make the pencil tap in
the same spot without hitting, the
finger, but. after a little practice
you will find that quite .the eontrary
is the ease, for it soon becomes al-
most impossible to make the ob-
ject with which the tapping is done
-touch the forefinger or vary from
the same spot on the table.

Tea' and Coffee, Ails Vanish Before
Postum.
It seems almost too. good to be
true, the way headache, nervous-
ness, insomnia, and many other
obscure troubles vanish when tea
and coffee- are dismissed and Post -
um used as th,e regular table bev-
erage. -
The reason is clear. Tail and
e,offee, contain a poisonous drug--
caffeine—which causes- the trouble,
but Postum contains only the food
elements in choice hard wheat with
a little molasses.

tic and wrote as follows:
"Until 181' months ago I used cof-
fee regularly every day and suffired
from headache bitter taste in my

pressed in spirits, etc.
"I attribute these things to coffee,

In an analysis of the intere,sts arid

At moments of supreme peril na-
tions likeindividuals are best
guided by the impuls,e, that is
strongest in hitman beings—the in-
stinct of self-preservation. It is
well that this should be so; for
none but interests instinctively re-

Dangers of Isolation.
The first principle of all British
foreign policY is recognition of the
fact that England, though an island,
forms Part of Europel Forgetful-
ness of this simple fact has in the
past had disastrous consequences.
Without reverting to the war of
1870, France to her fate, allowedher
isO be dismembered, and has ever
sinee paid the cost in the growing
burden of international armaments,
it is necessary only to remember
the position held by Great Britain
at the end of the South African
war. The policy of the late Lord
Salisbury has been one of "splen-
did isolation." When disaster
overtook us in South Africa, we
were without a, friend on the Con-
tinent and were only Saved from
attack by a European coalition be-
cause the Emperor of Russia de-
clined to sanction such n. policy,
and because the question of Alsace;
Lorraine, formed an insuperable
obstacles to military and naval co-
operation against us by Germany
and France.
"Splendid Isolation."
The policy of "splendid, isola-
tion" became a military, and politi-
calimpossibility, nnless we were
prepargd so to strengthen our Army
and our Navy as to be able to defy
any attack or combination of at-
tacks by land and sea. King Ed-
ward recognized this fact, and with
the advice of his Ministers sought
to diminish the number of our po-
tential enemies on the Continent.
Contrary to many. interested or mis-
taken assertions, neither he nor
Lord Lansdowne ever conceived the
policy of making friends in Europe
as a polihy of aggression.
The first sten in this policy had
little reference to Europe. It con-
sisted in the Anglo -Japanese Alli-
ance of 1909. Bob it was the An-
gle-Jananese Alliance that led di-
rectly to the Anglo-French Entente
of 1904. During 1903 England
strove, as 'she is striving now, to
prevent war, by urging Russia to
come to terms with Japan. France
also sought to restrain her ally,
lest entanglement in the Far East
should render Russia, incapable of
supporting France' in Europe.
Tiams.iah support was indispensable
to France, who had constantly been
exposed -to diplomatic .and military
pressure by Germany, and had, in
1875, only been saved from Ger-
man attack through the interven-
tion of the Emperor of Russia, and
especially of -Queen Victoria. Queen
Victoria then saw that the undis-
puted predominance of Germany in
Europe and the permanent disable-
ment of France, would create for
England a situation as dangerous
as that which grew up when Na-
poleon established his supremacy

Balance Of Forces.
Anglo-Fr,eneh efforts failed to
prevent the Russo-Japanese war in
1904. Germany, who was ASTiOUS
to remove the pressure of -the Rus-
sian array from her eastern fron-
tier, counteracted them. When the
war broke out France and Digland
were obliged quickly th decide whe-
ther they we:nisi join in the war and

remain neutral and to ,counter-

when his temperature Was 103, he
WAS fished out at the normal, 98,
cured of his illness; so that it was
irreverently said that he was born
th be hanged, He was badly
wounded in the attempt to relieve
the foreign legations at Pekin
twelve years ago, while serving AS
chief of stall of admiral of the
fleet; Sir Edward Seymour, receiv-
ing a Boxer bullet •through the
lungs but managed to recover.
He is married to a very rich wo-
man, namely, the daughter of Sir
Charles Clayzer, head of the Clan
line of steamers, and is regarded
in the English and foreign navies
as more responsible than any other
officer for the marvellous progress
in naval gunnery in the English
fleet.
INVENTIONS IN 80 YEARS.
Civilization Has Been Developed by
,Later Ones.
The nineteenth century has often
been called the "Century of Inven-
tion." As a matter of fact the
real century of invention did not
begin until 1820—when it was in-
augurated by the discovery of pho-
tography—so that, as one might
say, it is not finished yet. Since
that date there has been a steady
acceleration ol inechanical discov-
eries, 'and in this line no period of
equal length has been •so productive
as the opening years of the twenti-
eth century—the most remarkable
achievement being the actual reali-
zation, in the practical flying ma-
chine, of what mankind had come
to regard as a mere dream of the
visionary.
Human flight first became an ao-
complished fact in 1904. It must b.e
admitted, however, that the idea of
the aeroplane is by no means 5,0
new. In the Encyclopedia Brita,n-
nice, of thirty odd years ago will be
found, under "flight," a picture of
a flying machine almost identical
with that of the Wrights.-, Such be-
ing the case, it may be •asked, why
was it not put to use? The expla-
nation is simply that the only kind
of motor then available was the
steam motor, which was impossibly
heavy. It- was the gasoline motor
that made flying possible.
If we were to go back to the year
1980, and were deprived of the in-
ventions Which have been made
during the last thirty-four years,
WC should have an opportunity to
realize the influence which a few
men's ideas have had upon the de-
velopment of eivilization. We
should find ourselves deprived of
telephones, electric cars, bicycles,
me.chartical typesetters, cash regis-
ters and typewriters—the first writ-

staunch teetotaler, seeing a num-

lou.d voice from the oppositr side of
the street. The man, however, went
through the swing door, taking no
notice of the priestly. admonitims.
Later in the day these two met
again, when • the priest said:
'Didn't you hear me when I called
to you .this morning V.' 'Sure,
