"intoxicated"—that is, poisoned by the gases that collie from imperfect digestion. The products of food putrefaction are taken up by the blood and often poison the entire system. Cut out meats and starchy foods for to while. Eat Shredded Wheat with milk -or cream fc)r breakfast; eat it with stewed fruits and green vegetables for dinner or supper.

"r>- Angels of Mercy Bring Gifs to Wound- ed Warriors: It is afternoon. The sun bursts through the windows of the great room in beams of glorious brilliance. The hospital seems full of sunshine and hope. A great, barn -like room, • fnli of beautiful flowers, and black Iron bedsteads, and broken men, who !ie beneath the white coverlets, be- neath the blood -red symbols of the Red Cross, says London Answers. It is afternoon, and there is a soft silence, but the branches of the big trees without ging a song of soothing and peace. Boys and big men lie in their beds and watch the sunlight gal- lop and chase across the polished floor. There is a faint odor of iodine in the - ward. A sigh speaks of a man's en- durance. A bandaged head turns to watch the dancing beam. It leaps up the walls. It vanishes. It is gone. And then the ward seems empty. The nurse is absent. The visitors are gone. The brave wounded are left alone with pain and torment. Their lips are as parched as their souls. A missing leg, and a part of life is am- putated. A gaping wound, and days of life are stolen. The sun has gone '' behind the clouds. The ward is gar- ish. The flowers gleam dully. The trees stir restlessly. 0 God, they are �; • facing the mystery of pain, in silence. And there rise up before their eyes all the memories of the past, all the ghostly sights, and the horrors and terrors of the battlefield. The scream of shells sounds again in their ears. Life is sweet, but Death beckons. Their fingers trace the lines of the blood -red cross. The door swings slowly, cautiously. The sun leaps out again in a patch of blue sky, bursts through the window, lien across the aisle—a golden lane of light. The door is opened. Slowly, nervously, there comes into view a head of golden curls; two heads. Two little finites—curly-headed, fairy-like —trip up the gangway betwixt the beds. Each carries a little package. They part company. They approach the beds. Golden -haired One fumbles in her little bag, looks up at the boy who had left his leg over yonder. He might have been her big brother. She smiles at him. "Soldier," she lisps, "chock - let." She hands him a packet. He laughs at her. "Thank you kiddiel" He stretches out his hand and fin- gers the golden curls tenderly. And she says "Good-bye!" and then goes on to the next bed. Around the whole ward they go. .Some of the men are asleep, and the little fairies place their gifts by each sleeper's head. 'Tis a gift from the angels—angels of mercy. Their little feet patter down the ward. The sunshine glints marvel- lously upon the golden hair. They reach the door, and as they pull at it they look back at their soldiers. They wave their hands. "Good-bye!" And the great men in their beds, who can, wave their hands too, and there are seniles in their eyes. And then the ward is silent and mo- tionless again. But the sunshine still remains — the sunshine of childhood, brighter than the sky. _4 -- The youngest general in the Bri- tish Army is thirty-nine years old. Before Drinking Tea or Coffee, You Should Consider Wbether Or Not It Is Harmful "There's a Reason" for BRITAIN BUSY IN MEXICO, Capitltllats Seeure Control of Raw That Great Britain is being kept hay ,attending to its share in the' I'luropenn wet' pdwithout saying•, that the industrial interests of the eountry aro being negleetod,'however, is a conclusion fair from the truth, Its capitalists are not overlooking any opportunities, especially opportuni- ties to secure control of raw mater - ink; needed in their industries. They realize that it is just about as import- ant to secure raw materials fol' their Manufacturers as it is to secure mal' leets far the finished products, Acting on this principle, they are preparing for the great commercial and indus- trial war that is destined to follow the present terrible conflict by getting control of large supplies of raw ins- terial wherever they may he found, regardless of distance or immediate accessibility. As an evidence of this the following item from the Septem- ber number of the Bulletin of the Pan-American Union is of interest: -.-- "El Dia, a daily newspaper of Monterey, State of Nifevo Leon, Mexico, is authority for the state- ment -that a company of English cap- italists with available funds of several hundred thousands pounds sterling has been organized in London to work the Mercado Hill Iron Mines, near Du- rango. This iron hill is one of the richest and most extensive deposits of iron ore in the world, and has hereto- fore been largely used for - fluxing purpdses in the principal smelters of the republic. The company is report- ed to be negotiating with the Mexican government concerning the granting of the necessary concessions; plans have been made for excavating work, smelters are to be erected and the necessary machinery is to' be installed as soon as practicable. The company has placed a practical mining engineer and metallurgist In charge of the work and a number of laborers have already been engaged to carry on ac- tive operations in the development of the mine." - RICH RED BLOOD MEANS GOOD HEALTH Just a Little More Rich, Red Blood Cures Most Ailments. The Lack of sufficient red health - giving blood does not end merely in.. a pale complexion. It is much more ser- ious. Bloodless people are the tired, languid, run down folk who never have a bit of enjoyment in life. Food does not nourish, there's indigestion, heart palpitation, headache, backache, some- times fainting spells and always nerv- ousness. If anaemia or bloodlessness be neglected too long a decline is sure to follow. Just a little more blood cures all these troubles. Just more rich, red blood, then abounding health, vitality and pleasure in' life. To make the blood rich, red and pure, use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. No other medi- cine increases the pure blood supply so quickly or so surely. Tho cure actu- ally begins with the first dose, though naturally it is not noticeable. This is not a mere claim. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have been doing this over and over again in Canada for more than a quarter of a century. This is- why thousands have always a good word to say for this great medicine, for in- stance Mrs, Alex. Gillis, Glenville, N. S., says: "1 cannot praise Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills too highly. They are really a wonderful medicine. I was very much run clown, suffered from frequent dizzy spells, and had an al- most constant severe pain in the back. My home work was a source of dread, I felt so weak, and life held but little enjoyment. Then I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and the result was almost marvellous. They made me feel like a new woman and fully restored my health. I would urge every weak woman to give these pills a fair trial." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills throtfgh any dealer in medicine or by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. LOGGER IN DARING FEAT. How He Attached Cable to Tree at Great Height. A few weeks ago the crew of Hig- gins' logging camp at Camelon Har- bor, Tribune Channel, about 80 miles north of Vancouver, witnessed an act of remarkable daring and agility, per- formed by one of their number, which will doubtless be talked about for many._a day in the Coast lumber. camps, where feats of daredevil brav- ery are as Common as "scraps" among school boys. In the course of a shift to a new logging location it became necessary to attach a cable to a very tall tree at a point 120 feet from the ground. Usually this is done by a workman equipped with polo -climbing spurs and belt, but this time these means were not available. What was to be done? It would take several days to secure the equipment from Van- couver, and a shutdown of the opera- tions for that length of time was -lot to be thought of owing to the heavy expense involved, This is where tall Andrew Busby came to the rescue, it' reports are true, He was an expert chopper and skilled in using a springboard, With his axe and two springboards he be- gan to elinin the tree, Standing on the first board Ito chopped pp d a lett'' five feet above him, slipped the seas end board into the notch, climbed up, and, drawing the first board after Mtn, repeated the performance a score of tithes. In an hour, while his convent. ions below watched liim breathlessly, he reached the top of the tree and af- fixed tho rope. Standing ea a board a few inches wide, he was apparently as cool at 100 feet from the ground as wlteit he was only five feet from terra firma. 131-lsby is new a private in the 230th Forestry Battalion, having enlisted in Vanecuver a few days after perfornt- ing tate act shove recorded.

On white backgrounds, white and color- ed beads are used most effectively. The white chalk beads on dark satins and silks form very handsome trim- mings. Beads of various colors'ar- ranged in designs to imitate the pop- ular Paisley effect is one of the newest developments in bead work. Other very attractive color combinations are also seen, such as dull blue, old rose and brown on light tan back- grounds. Recent costumes from Paris also show that machine stitching is a very prominent form of trimming. Rows upon rows of stitching are used at the edges of coats and on collar and cuffs. 7861-756o The Pinched -Back Coat The stitching is often done in silk of a darker shade than the material it is used on, and sometimes Ihi the same shade. Hip -length coats with the pinched effect at the back and a straight front are very smart for the serviceable suit for daily wear or for the sports suit. - The back is belted with a rath- er wide belt stitched down over short pleats, which produces the pinched effect. With this type of coat the full box -pleated skirt makes an excellent costume. Ili mannish mixtures and jersey cloth, these snits are worn for shopping, sports, and for practical use. The sketch illustrates one of these jaunty suits in. bright green jersey cloth. ` These patterns may be obtained from your' local McCall dealer or from the McCall Company 70 Bond St., Toronto, Ontario.

LSSi7I0 8---'17 • I GERMAN POST-WAR TRADE Business Experts Work Day and Night Preparing for Peace. Details of Ger'many's far-reaching plans for conducting a world -trade campaign after the war were made public recently in a lecture in His Majesty's Theatre, London, England, by Frederic Will'am Wile, for many years a Berlin cos .espondent. Mr. Wile declared there were count- less indications that German finance, commerce and industry hope to be butter organized for the post-bellum campaign all over the globe than any other of the great trading nations in- cluding the United States, as the Ger- man 'manufacturing system and dis- tribution systems are the only ones of the first magnitude which have not been abnormally preoccupied dun=' ing the last two -and -half years. The speaker said that German agents in recent time had been particularly ac- tive in China and South America. "What few people outside of Ger- many seem to -realize;" said Mr. Wile, "is that- the Kaiser's Government re- cently established what is virtually a separate Government for the exclusive purposes of paving he way for the new trade war. Ther have set up a so-called Imperial Board for Transi- tion Economics consisting of nine of the finest business experts in the country, who are working day and night to transfer German commerce from a war to a peace basis with the least possible delay. "Their main concern is to arrange for the earliest and largest possible supply of raw material, especially from the United States. The fleet of thirty to forty odd German liners tied up in New York harbor are to make their first homeward -bound journey after the war packed to the rails with Aramaean cotton, copper, petroleum, lead, zinc and all other manufacturing staples of which Ger- many will stand in such urgent need." Wile said there is hardly an in- dustry in Germany to -day, from bank- ing to dyes, which is not girding up itself in new syndicates in order to present more united front than ever the moment peace comes. SERVICE TO ALASKA. C.Y.R. Steamer Will Make Three Trips for Tourists. As was the case during the past season the C.P.R. steamship Princess Charlotte will make three round trips in the Alaska tourist service next year, which becomes effective Tune 8, 1917. The list of tourist sailings beta teen Victoria, Vancouver and Skag-?ay, which has just been announced by the B.C. Coast 'Service, provides for three round trip sailings for the Princess Charlotte, seven for the Princess Alice and seven for the Princess Sophia, making 17 round trip sailings all told for the summer season of 1917. The advent of the palatial steamship Princess Charlotte in the Alaskan tourist trade last summer was such a ,pronounced success that the company had no alternative but to arrange for her return to the northern run next year, when it is, expected tourist travel north will break all records. The schedule has been arranged earlier with a view to giving plenty of time for the arrangement of advance book- ings. The company proposes making a feature of this delightful travel route, and specially illustrated and descrip- tive literature is being prepared for distribution all over the continent. The accommodation on the Princess Char- lotte will be largely reserved for par- ties booking in the -East. A large number of inquiries regarding the northern tours have already been made in the East by parties Who were unable to take the trip last summer. RESTORE RHEIMS CATHEDRAL. Work Will Be Begun on Structure When Situation Permits. Albert 'Mintier, Under-Secretary for Fine Arts, states that permission has been asked of the Gorman author- ities for the restoration of 'Rheims Cathedral, "Orders were given by the French Government for provisional repairs to the toots of the cathedral In Autumn, 1914," said M. Dallmior, "but we were unable to begin work without an agreement with the military authori- ties and they begged us to de nothing. They pointed out that the cathedral was still under German fire, that from. Nogont to La 'Based, where the bat - tortes firing on tho town were install- ed, everything that passed could be distinctly scan, and that workmen on the cathedral would, therefore, be sure to be observed and fired upon. When the situation permits the work will Abo uncloftakan," GREAT INFLUX AFTER WAR. Many Canadians Will Remain in Eng- land, Says Queensberry. A close student of British finance, who is on a' visit to Canada at pre- sent --to make extensive investigations into Canadian conditions for after - the -war investments, and the bring- ing out of settlers, is the 'Marquis of Queensberry, who is accompanied by Mr. H. Stanley Waugh. "There is an enormous interest. being taken in Canada, and thou- sands will leave tho Old Land for this country as soon as the war is over," the Marquis declared. "I know thousands of Belgians who intend making ,Canada their future home. They are tired of the war, and don't want to return to their former coun- try. I have heard even Englishmen say, 'Oh, if I could only get away to the wilds and forget it all.' "Wo in England felt that black cloud of .Germany all along. It in- terfered everywhere. I had arranged for the working of mines in Liberia, South Africa, and Germany interfer- ed. I had a bill put through the Turkish Parliament several years ago, and Germany interfered. The world will be a different place when this war is over," he declared. "It has done us good to make such great sacrifices." The Marquis expects to be in Can- ada for about a year. He is the ninth Marquis of Queensberry succeeding his father in 1900. Ho does consider- able writing. for the press. Minarci's Liniment Cures Colds, Etc, Hitting Back.

The days are so changeable—one bright, the next cold and stormy, that the mother is afraid to take the children out for the fresh' air' and exercise they need so much In consequence they are often cooped up in overheated, badly ventilated rooms and are soon seized with colds � or grippe. What is needed to keep the little ones well is Baby's Own Tablets. They will regulate the stomach and bowels and drive out: colds and by their use the baby will . be able to get over the winter season in perfect safety. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr„ -Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Not A Speed Maniac. "How fast can your car go?"
