It is not always easy to determine the cause of tender and burning feet, or, even if the cause ois known, to .relieve thera. Some very evident causes are ill-fitting shoes,—either too email or too larger—coarse stockings, insufficient bathhig and gout. The Int in the list espevialy may cause great discomfort; the feet burn and are tender; sometimes they., itch or, sting, and the shoes irritate them. saverely; the soles especially ttr.e. tender; even standing causes pain, end walking' is almoet impossible. Examining the feet. in those cases often gives no chin to the cause of the distress. Sometimes the skin is reddish and scaly, and in rare eases a few hard points the size of a pin- head may be felt in the sole of the foot.. Those are accumulations of mates such as occuze more frequently lin the hands or in the ears: Another perspiration of the feet. That varies from 'a state in which the stockings are 'a little damp when taken off to one in which they are constantly sopetIng wet. The foot is also liable to- suffer, with other parts of the body, from eczema and other Skin eruptions, some of which are painful, others of which are merely annoying. In many cases much can be done to remedy these foot ills, but in other cases nothing seems to give perman- ent relief. When the feet are gouty, the treatment is chiefly constitutional —the adoption of measures, both Medicinal and dietetic, that physicians recommend for gout in general. Local applications may also be of service. One simple treatment that often re- lieves, the burning is to rub the feet with a smooth piece of paraffin or with camphor ice; another is to bathe the feet in cold water. When the feet are tired, some bene- fit may be derived from a hot foot bath, but it should be followed by stepping into a basin of cold water for a minute or two. The foot bath sometimes gives better results if it contains a quantity of Epsom salts in solution. For sweating feet, bathing in cold .alum, solution and plentiful dusting of powder into the clean stockings is excellent treatment. A powder that has been used with sue - cess tin the European armies consists of three parts of salicylic acid, ten parts of starch and eighty-seven parts of powdered soapstone. If nothing gives relief, the sufferer mast go to a dermatologist and re main under his oversight until he ,dis covers the proper treatment. - • — - • • • THE BRITISH EMPIRE'S GLORY Extract From the Address by Dr. Wylie Given in New York. A meeting was held recently in the Assembly Room of the Board of For- eign Missions, New York City, to celebrate the Treaty •of Peace. Rev. David G, Wylie, D. D. was called upon to speak for the British3 flag, and in his discourse said -:-"It is no easy task, in the short time at my disposal, to paint the glories of the flag- of Great Britain, a nag that for a thousand years has braved the tempest and the storm. The drum- beat of Britain is heard around the world, and its flag floats over an Em- pire on which the sun never sets. This fleg stands for representative govern - men, law., order, civil and religious /ights, and security of person and property. Wherever this flag floats, whether over the Britigh Isles, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Egypt, or the Islands of the Sea, men are safe and free. "It was a tragic moment when Great Britain decided to enter the world war. An ultimatum had been sent to the Imperial Government of •Gernrany, and the time fixed for mid- night on a certain August day. The Cabinet assembled and waited in silence. The ticking of the clock be- came oppressive. At midnight Earl Grey (I think it was) rose and said— 'Gentlemen, it is war.' The little army of Britain was mobilized and the fleet rushed to the North Sea. "The entrance of Great Britain into the war because She recognized the inviolability of her allegiance to 13e1 - glum, will forever stand in striking contrast to the action of Germany in word and act designating a solemn treaty as but a 'scrap of paper.' i'The sight of the British flag sets one to singing 'Britania Rules the Waves' and 'Scots Willa Hae.' May the flag of our Motherland long wave over the free peoples of the British Empire." To lengthen the usefulness of fat pour it through a cloth laid over the Strainer each time after use.

THE CAUSE OF BACKACHE Only in Rare Cases Does Back- ache Mean Kidney Trouble. Every muscle in the body needs Constantly n supply of rich, red blood in Proportion to the work it does.. The muscleof the back are under a heavy Strain and have but little reet, When the blood is thin they lack nourish- ment sactbe result is a sensation of pain in those muscles. Some people think paiu-in the back means kidney trouble, but the best Medical authori- ties agree that backache seldom or never has anything to do with the kid- neys. Organic kidney disease may have . progressed to a critical point withont developing a pain in the back. This being the case, pain in the back should always lead.the :sufferer to look to the condition of his blood. It will be found.in most cases that the use of Dr. )Villiams' Pink Pills to build up the blood Will stop the sensation of pain in the ill -nourished muscles of the back. Now much' better it is to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for the blood than to give way to unreasonable alarm about your kidneys. If you sus- pect your kidneys,. any doctor can make tests in ten minutes that will set your fearsat rest, or tell you the worst, But in any event to be par- fectly healthy you must keep the blood In good condition, and for this pur- pose no other medicine can equal Dr. Williams' Pink- Pills. You can get these pillsthrough any dealer in medic:hie, or by mail, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. 'Williams Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. The Princess Pats. You've read of the charge of the "Light Brigade," How they faced both shot and shell, Of the gallant, desperate charge they made Intl the very jaws of hell— Hotr•only half of them came back To receive the glory they'd won— Now, lis't to the tale of the Princess Pats. • Who won victory from the Hun. They sailed away to. a foreign land A full three thousand strong, They went, a gallant fighting band, To right a world-wide wrong, To fight for King and Princess Pat, For home and fireside, They needed no goad, but at drop of hat, Rushed on—a, resistless tide. Down into the valley of Death, Down into the jaws of hell, And out front the fume of the battle breath, But few returned to tell How breast to breast with death they fought, To uphold a fair Princess' fame, Her flag, a flag with honor fraught, Inscribed with Royal name. In France they lie, with Topples red O'er them—as cross their valor'd won, A pall of beauty o'er hero dead, Royal color for Canada's son. On honor's shield, their name engrave, Let nation mourn their loss, They died the silken folds to save Of their Princess flag, at any cost. ........Torrnor CARTIER MONUMENT Handsome memorial of the late Sir George Etienne Cartier, one of the Fathers of Confederation, whicb will be unveiled by His Majesty the King by pressing a 'button at Balmoral: The unveiling of the statue by this method will take place on September 6, the 100th anniversary of Cartier's birthday.

Paddy was showing a gentleman over his master's new house, and af- ter he had gone through it the gentle- man said to Paddy: "Well, it's really a very fine house, and beautifully finished." "oh, no," said Paddy, "it's not finished yet." "Indeed!" said the visitor; "why, what more do they in- tend to do to it?" "Well," said Paddy, "I' heard our master say the other day that he was going to have a mortgage put on it." The dog attains full growth at the end of the second year, is old at 15 years, and seldom lives beyond 20. Fashions for the Small Folk 9014 9034 9014—Girl's Dress (smocked or shirred).

TORONTO FAT STOCK SHOW. Careful preparation is the keynote to success in the live stock business, either in the fitting for the show ring or in the marketing of butcher stock. Placing of awards or the topping of the market depends largely on the con- dition of the animal when shown or offered for sale. Animals to be shown at the winter shows should be selected now and preparations started so as to have them in the best possible condi- tion by show time. The Toronto Fat Stock Show offers an excellent oppor- tunity for feeders who have taken the time to fully condition their stock to get the highest market value, and in addition to compete for the many genereus premiums that are offered. He Got the Job. It was through bad hick that Jack had stmk down to rags and hunger, but his heart beat hopefully as he ap- plied for a job on the coasting steam- er. "Afraid you won't do," said the cap- tain curtly, doubting if this ragged person really was a sailor. But Jack's reply proved it. "I hope, sir," he said, "that you will not condemn the hull for the sake of the rigging," A Hint. "Is your watch going, George?" she asked sweetly, stifling a yawn. "Yep," answered George. "How soon?" This is to certify that fourteen years ago I got the cords of iny left wrist nearly severed, and was for about nine months that I had no use of my hand, and tried other Liniments, also doc- tors, and was receiving no benefit. By a persuasion from a friend I got MIN- ARD'S LINIMENT and used one bottle which completely cured me, and have been using MINARD'S LINIMENT in my family ever since and find it the same as witeli I first used it, and would never be without it. ISAAC E. MANN. Metapedia, P.Q. Aug. 81st, 1908. The Parson in Literature. Both Charlotte Bronte and Jane Austen—although the former was' the daughter of one clergyman and the wife of another, and, the latter's father was also a clerg3rman—seldorn' or never make their parsons wholly sym- pathetic personages. Perhaps the reason is that to do otherwise meant solving what Balzac- calls "the diffi- cult literary problem of how to make a virtuous person interesting," or per- haps they believed that it was from the unpleasant characters in novels that we get most of the excitement and fun. At any rate, the curates in "Shirley" are merely caricatures, and Mr.- Helstone—"a conscientious, hard- headed, hard -handed, brave, stern, lin- plaeable, faithful old man"--4ails to win the reader's sympathy, while Mr. Brocklehurst, in "Jane Eyre," must be &lased with the clerical goats rather than the clerical sheep of fic- tion. The best that can be said ,of most of Charlotte Bronte's parsons Is that they have far Moro character and virility than those pale and uninter- esting tea -drinking clergymen who appear in so many Victorian novels. Lazy men are dead to the world, but they remain unburied. FROM HERE &THERE it Wasn't Fair, Father—"I'm ashamed to see you crying because a bee stung you.

The Power of the Vote, A suffragette lecturer once brought down the house with the following ar- gumeut:—"Iehave no vote, but my groom has. 1 have a great respect for that man in the stables, but 1 ani sure if I were to go to him and say, 'John, will you exercise the franchise,' he would reply, 'please mum, whicb horse be that?' " Precaution. Mother: "Johnny, on your way home from school, call at the grocer's and get me some coffee and a bar of soap." Father (after Tommy had gone): "'Why do you want coffee?" Mother: "That's so he'll remember the soap." Bang Went A new and pleasant turn has been given to the story of tho Scot's six- pence. Lord Shaw of Dumfermline, speaking of tho practice of economy, stated that he recently met in a Lon- don 'bus a distinguished Marchioness and her daughter. They were distress- ed because they had just discovered that they had boarded the 'bus with- out any money. Lord Shaw paid their fare for them—amounting to sixpence. A. couple of days later he received six penny stamps from the Marchioness, and. in writing to acknowledge the un- expected payment, he stated it was unkind of her to visit upon him M this way the traditional love of a Scotsman for a sixpence. MONEY ORDERS. When ordering goods by mail send a Dominion Express Money Order. A Prisoner. The city's hand extends its grasp Across the sunny countryside, Till even brooks and rivers wide Are held in iron clasp. My little brook with waterfalls,— That, sparkling, sang so cheerily Upon its journey to the sea,— Is now in prison walls. Its course is bound in tubing dark; I, peering down through bars above, Attempt to see the brook I love, I hear it singing—hark! That blessed song of joy and wings:— "They cannot chain my soul in me!" The way it sang when it was free, And bravely, still it sings. - 221nard,s niniment Mixes Colds. Eto. 'Why Nursey Left. On his return to civil life Jenkins was told about the nice nurse his wife had engaged for the baby, "Don't be misled by her looks," ex- plained Mrs. Jenkins. "Although she is rather pretty and childish -looking. she is really very sensible and well -1 trained, Why, she won't let anyone kiss baby while she is near." "No one would want to," said hubby absent-mindedly, as lie gazed after the slender grey figure, -while she is near." Sure! High Heels Cause Corns But Who Cares Now Because style decrees that women crowd and buckle up their tender toes In high heel footwear they suffer from coma, then they cut and trlin at these painful pests which merely makes the corn grow hard. This suicidal habit may cause lockjaw and women are warned to stop it. A few drops of a drug called freee• one applied directly upon a sore corn gives quick relief and soon the entire Corn, root and all, lifts out without pain. Ask the drug store man for a quarter of an ounce of freezorte, which costs very little but is sufficient to re- move every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. This drug is an ether compound and dries in a moment and simply shrivels up the corn without inflaming or even Irritating the surrounding tissue or akin. Clip this out and pin on • Wife's dresser.
