ROHBINO, WONMEN OF :THEIR HEALTH Anaemia ...Unless, Cheek -4> Passes IntoHopeless Decline Anaemia is like a ,spectre that steals on you unawares and drives .all happiness out sof existence. It is a thief that robs you of your life and energy. • 'Thousands of 'wo- men in this country ate the vic- tiins of anaemia (that is, bloodless- ness), which ,spares neither rich "nor poor, young or old. It robs- woman of her health, her vitality, her beauty—of • everything that givers a, woman her charm. The chief symptoms of this trouble in- clude a distate for Mood, prostrat- ing headaches, extreme langour, loss of weight, nervousness, pale cheeks, lips and .gums, heart palpi- tations, dizziness and a constant. feeling of 'wretchedness. The only way to effect a cure is to increase the blood supply—to make it pure, rich and red. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have saved thousands of young girls and - wo- men from the early fate that threat - ed them through anaemia's rav- ages, for these pills enrich the blood, stimulate the circulation, nourish the nerves, and restore the energy and perfect health that make women attractive. If you are a victim of bloodlessness in any way, do not let it run into a hopeless decline, but begin the use of .Dr. Williams' Pink Pills today. The following bit of evidence proves the worth of this medicine. Mrs. Maurice Sims, Liverpool N. S., says : "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have been a blessing to me. About two years ago I was so badly r to down that I had to give up all work and go to bed. My husband and parents were much worried about' me as they thought I was going into consumption. The doc- tor who was attending me changed his medicine several times; but it did me no good and I began to feel very much discouraged myself. One day a. friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I decided to do so. In a ,few weeks I felt much better and I continued tak- iflg the pills for a couple of months until I was again in perfect health. I believe that if I had not taken Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I would not have survived, and I shall al- ways be very grateful for what they have done for me." You can get these pills from any dealer in medicine or -by mail at 50 cents a box or 'six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville. Ont. 014 CRUELTY IN GERMAN ARiIY. Erutility of Officers to Privates Slowly Decreasing. The unceasing criticism of press and parliament is slowly reducing the number of cases of mistreat- ment of soldiers by their officers, but a recent report shows that 490 noncommissioned officers and offi- cers were convited of such offence last year. - This was a reduction of Itchine Scalps Pandr Bait'. lling lair uccessf lly to 4a.

'1.lhese 490 convictions by rion means indicate, however, that only that warder of private nsoleliers were. brutally handled' 'during the year. recent case, and: one by non,means unusual, was -.the' ,conviotiozi of a noncommissioned officer of the Third Bavarian regiment, who was sharg- ed with no less than ninety offen- ees against the men under him. One soldier wain lamed by 'beim; . struck on the kneecap with a gunbutt, and there were a dozen of '-•cases: in which recruits were choked . and struck in, the face. It is not long since a 'captain was forced to leave the service after his third .convio- tion for mistreating recruits. The charges against hint covered bru- tal treatment in 140 cases. Complaints of these 'conditions made in the reichstag, have from time to time moved the minister of war to declare that the government was equally concerned and was do- ing its best to put a stop' to them. Figures have been quoted to -,show that cases of mistreatment are grad- ually growing less common, and it has been declared that the govern- ment desired that punishment of the offend -ars be exemplary. With all credit to the minister of war, it must nevertheless be said that sentences in the majority of these cases are extremely mild and. by no means calculated to c is - courage brutal officers from. a repe- tition of their offences. The non- commissioned officer just mention- ed was sentenced to three months and fifteen days' imprisonment and degraded. This is a, really severe sentence, but it is at the same time in every ease it is a foreigner in- a, most unusual one.volved, The last Canadian • criminal The following case is typical of statistics available, those for 7912-13 the nearly ten eases occurring onshow that an average each week.

One was born in Scotland, done in England and the remaining six in Canada. During the same period there were 31 convictions for attempt to murder, and of these only three were Canadian born.

It has been proved that anythixa that can be grown or produced in any other part of the Empire can be successfully grown or produced within the island continent of Aus- tralia. Whether in the farm of wheat, wool, dairy products, fruit, timber, meat, or minerals, Austra- lia has been able alleady' to pre - dace and export in fairly substan,m ball quantities, and to -day there is a rapidly growing demand for every kind of product.
