With this toll paid in' the fight ing so far, more men are to be rush ecl to the front. , A supplementary estimate from the War Office today declared that with one million more men the total British strength of all ranks would be 2,186, 400. Recruiting hes increased to a great extent 'during last week. It is said that Premier Asquith will finally seek sanction of Parliament for raising of those one million ad- ditional troops. The statement of tete Premier placing the casualties at approxi- mately 57,000 was written in reply to inquiries from members of the House of Commons. It is even so as you read this -your Creator in the person of the Lord Je- sus is before you to be worshiped, rev- erenced adored ev-erenced,',adored if you have already received Him as your own personal not,flies the one great and Saviour; 1E Sa only :question for you to answer is the one in verse 22 of our lesson, "What shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" It is never in any case a question of our standing before men, character or- good •works or even church membership, which may mean something or nothing, but only this, Am I in Christ, redeemed by His, pre- cious ro-cious blood who bare my sins in His own body on the cross? Pilate sitting on the judgment seat and Jesus standing before, him, the chief priests and elders accuse Him of many things, such as perverting the nation, forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, proclaiming Himself. a Bing. To all these accusations Jesus answer ed never •a word, and Pilate marveled greatly (verses 12-14; Luke xxiif, 2, 8). It is trying to be lied about and false- ly accused either behind one's back or before your face, but to do as Jesus did andanswer nothing when there is nothing to be answered is the better, way. Nothing can be said or done to any member of His body without His per- mission or without His feeling it, and all suffering with Him tend for His sake is a• very great privilege. Con- sider continually' that He who bore all this so meekly was not only in reality Ring of the Jews, but also Ring of nations, ruler of the kings of the earth, King of kings 'and Lord of lords, and all kings shall fall down be- fore Him, all nations serve Him (Dent. x 17;.Ps. lxxii, .11; Rev. i, 5; xv, 8; xvii, 14; rix, 18). Oh, thestupendous wonder of it all that He should conn descend to submit to all this for our sakes; then to think how little we are willing to bear for Him! How Pilate sent Him to Herod to be further mocked and set at nought and how there also He answered nothing is uIr xxH 6.12. When recorded. in L e L He bad been returned to 'Pilatehe brought Him forth and said to the Jews, "Behold your Ring." But they cried out: "Away with Him, crucify Him. We have no king but Caesar" (John xix. 14, 15). Pilate's wife.; sent to him, saying, "Have thou nothing to do with that just man; for I have suf- fered many things this day in a dream because of Him." But the chief priests and elders prevailed, and when Pilate washed his hands, saying, "1 am inno. cent of the blood of this just person," they all answered, "His blood be on us and on our children" (verses 19, 20, 24, 25). So Barabbas the murderer was re- leased and Jesus Christ the Holy One of God, God manifest in the flesh, de- livered their will to be crucified a ed to (verse 28; Luke xxiii, 24, 25). This is the hatred of God Which. is In the heart of 'man, for the carnal mind is enmity against God, and only the Spirit of God can convince of sin, the great sin of rejecting Christ, and open the heart to receive Him. Because they chose' Barabbas and Caesar; instead of Christ their suffer - lags continue to this day, The Slow,' Sluggish, Torpid Action of thotiver is Responsible for Many IIIc. Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills stimulate the sluggish liver, clean the coated tongue, sweeten the obnoxious breath, clean away all waste and poisonous matter from the system, and prevent as well as cure alt complaints arising from a liver which has become inactive. Constipation, sick headache, bilious headache, jaundice, heartburn, water brash, catarrh of the stomach, etc., all come from a disordered liver. Mr. Victor B. McNeills, Sandstone, Alta., writes: "I thought I would write and tell you of my experience with Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills, as I am greatly pleased with the results I re- ceived by using them. I was troubled' with sick headache for a long time, and' would getso sleepy right after I ate my dinner that I could not do any work.' A friend of mine, from Toronto, visited me last summer and he asked me to try Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills. He told me they had done him so much good for his stomach. I used several vials, and I found they did me so much good that I can recommend them to any one suffer- ing from liver trotible," Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills are 25c a vial, 5 vials for $?1.00, at all dealers, or mailed direct on receipt ofprice by The T.

Sr. Vitus dance is a common form .of nervous trouble, which af- fects not only young children, but men and women as well. The only cure lies in ,plenty of pure blood; beoause good blood is the life food of the nerves. Dr, Williams' Pink Pills cure the most severe cases of St. Vitus dance, because they. actually make the rich, red blood that. feeds and restores the;starv- ing, shattered nerves. This has been proved in hundreds of cases among them that of Mrs. John Duncan, London. Ont.,' Who says ; "About a year ago I•found myself becoming very• nervous. At the outset I did not pay "much atten- tion to it as I thought the trou- ble •would pass away. In this I was disappointed for I soon found myself rapidly growing worse. My right arm and leg began to jerk and twitch all'the time, even when I was in bed, and .'Ifound great difficulty in walking or doing any work. Finally the trouble affect- ed ffect ed my speech and it was with dif- ficulty I, made myself understood Of course I was doctoring for the trouble, but was not being helped. and finally the doctor wanted the to go to the hospital for treatment This I did not. care to do, and it was at this stage that I and to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.: By the time I had used four boxes) felt much • better, and in a short time longer I was quite well and, strong.: My neighbors look upon; my cure as quite wonderful, and; indeed I think it is, and shall al' Ways be greatful for what Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. did for me." These Pills are sold by all medi-` cine dealers or can be had by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for 82.50 from The~ Dr. Wil- Hams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Several days ago there appeared in the vicioity of Gorrie and Ford - which a stranger, after hewas seen hanging around the neighborhood for several days and ,acting in a suspicious manner an investigation was made it was discovered that he: was a German. He was at once not ified that he had ten minutes to leave, which he did do. When a number of men started aman-hunt for hint he fled and the hunter pur sued him. He ran into a German's house about th"eo miles north of Gorrie. Here the men surrounded him and sent for a constable.. The constable hurried for the scene, but the farmer refused to hand • him over stating that he had hired him and that he was "his property." The 'constable . and men retired from the scene fo action not know- ing what to do. Next morning it was discovered that the spy had disap peared from the vicinity. LIBRARY INSTITUTE.

[Prepared by United. States department of ' ' asriculture.] Itis only •within comparatively re • centy ears that entomology, or the insects,has been brought to study of toyg the practical aid of the farmer. In the old days the scientists specializing in this, branch were almost wholly ab sorbed in obtaining specimens of In- sects and describing them. In the meantime the farmer knew as little about "entomology" as the scientist knew about agriculture. Misconcep- tions among farmers regarding the oc- currence of destructive insects were widespread, and the only men who really knew anything about the insects causing the destruction kept their knowledge to themselves. During the first hundred years of agriculture in America we have only fragmentary records of the ravages of insects." They chronicled however, certain very disastrous outbreaks, and much of the vast amount, of injury TUB TRUE ARMY NORM—A, MOTE; 8, LARVA;. 0, PV:cA.

By this time ordinary insect out- breaks appear to have become so com- mon as to be thought unworthy of rec- ord, and we have nothing more until the year 1743, when it is stated that "millions of devouring worms in ar- mies threatened to cut off every green thing. Hay very scarce; £7 to £8 a load." While this particular record up.' plies to New England, it certainly does not cover the entire area of devasta- tion, as John Bartram, during July of that year, made a journey from Phil- adelphia to Oswego, N. Y., and records the occurrence of.. worms, which he says have done much mischief "by de- stroying the grass and even corn for two summers." ' He also observes that the worms ate oft lbw blades not obis Pri eS cad During the next twoweeks we place on sale about forty Beautiful Rugs in Tapestry,, Brussels and.

He observes that they seem to be periodical,' like the locust and caterpillar. During the year 1749 we are told that in July grasshoppers appeared in myr- iads. The observer stated: "I reckon my poultry, about a hundred, eat' 10,- 000 0,000 grasshoppers every day.

For upward o1 a hundred years oar records are very incomplete, although there are indefinite references in exist- ence to show that this is not owing to a lack of insect depredations in the fields of the farmer. In. 1770 there appears to have been a widespread outbreak of our common army worm, which. It is stated, ex- tended from Langston, N. I3'., to'North- field, Mass.

Holes were'sometimes made in the bot- toms of these flitches: one every two or three feet, into which the worms fell and were then killed by the farm- ers going 'over the fields and ,plunging bars or sticks of wood into these holes. It seems, however. that only a few farmers were able to sere.enpugh corn for seedthe following year. Just eleven years afterward, In 1781, the same pest is again recorded '• It seems also to have reappeared in 1790; Trap- ping rapping by means of ditches and holes, it used in preeent day methods of corn trot, but the worms are, killed by pour ing kerosene into the holes.
