Tender Feet.
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."

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 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.

The Finishing Touch.
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

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.

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.

.. 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.

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. -

'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

she is really very sensible and well -1

"No one would want to," said hubby
