G e141111ns,
The London Times has received
list of the Belgian olergy killed
' by the German soldiery between
August 4 and 31 last. The list is
given below. It is necessarily in-
complete, as no information could
be obtained from the dioceses of
Bruges and Ghent. In addition to
those reported as killed in the dio-
.cele of Namur, 1.0 priests who, have
disappeared since the invasion are
presumed to have been slain. All
the clergy named in the list are
known to have met their death by
violence. Many of them were tor-
tured before. they were shot.
Churches Destroyed.
A number of priests and members
of religious orders were sent as
• prisoners to Germany. and from
evidence received it is certain that
they were treated in an ignomin-
ious manner. Several churches
were destroyed. For example, the
Collegiate C'lmrels of St. Pierre at
Louvain was deliberately set on
fire. A great number of other
churches were profaned. The ta-
bernacles were broken open and
the plate was stolen. In some places
the consecrated wafers and relics
were .thrown to the winds or trod-
den underfoot List of victims

Almost everybody' experiences
times when the organs of digestion
show painful signs- of weakness.
Some • slight disturbance of the
health starts the trouble ; then. the
patient takes a"dislike to food, and
dull heavy pains in the abdomen
give warning that the stomach is un-
able to do its proper work. Some-
times a false craving for food arises;
if this is satisfied the result is addi-
tional torture—flatulence, a drowsy
depression, sick headache and nau-
sea are common signs of indiges-
tion. The foolish practice of taking
drastic, weakening purgatives at
such, times should be avoided. Indi-
gestion arises from stomach weak-
ness, and the only effectual method
of curing the trouble is to strength-
en the feeble organs of digestion by
supplying thews with richer, purer
blood. This is the true tonic treat-
ment, by which natural method Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills achieve great
results. These pills make the rich,
red blood needed •to strengthen the
stomach, thus impartirrg a healthy
appetite and curing indigestion and
other stomach disorders. Mr. Thos.
Johnson, Hemford, N.S... says:
"For five years I was a great suf-
ferer from indigestion, which wreck-
ed me- physically. I suffered so
much that for days at a time 1 could
not attend to niy. business. I had
smothering spells so bad at times
that I was afraid to lie dowii:- I
doctored and tried many medicines
but with no benefit. I sa.w. Dr. Wil-
liained Pink Pills advertised to eure
the trouble and decided to try
them. I had not been taking them
long before I found. that I had at
last hit upon the right medicine.
.The improvement in niy health was
constant, and after I had used ten
or twelve boxes I could eat and di-
gest all kinds of food, and I felt
physically better than I had done
for years. I shall never cease to
praise Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for

Every home should be surrounded
by a, beautiful and artistic yard.
Few will argue against this feet, but
there is considerable divergence of
opinion as to the best way- to Make
the yard beautiful..

picture that delights not only the
inmates of -the home but also the
passerby.
Houses of different architectural
styles, must be treated in decidedly
different manners, For instance,
the formal house should be sur-
rounded by natural things in geo-
metrical patterns—straight walks,
formal shaped shrubs, square earn-
ers, etc., 'while the more. imposing
type of building should be accom-
panied with flower beds,, shrubs,
trees and walks of such a design as
to carry out the style of the house
as far as possible.
Now is the tini.e to plan, your gar-
den. Call ••a family ;council and let
every member offer suggestions for
the bea,utifieation of the home this
year. Grow pleasing and beautiful
flowers where the burdock used to
thrive. Hundreds of flowers suggest

penditure and a little attention, a

the German Placard.
In a letter to his sister in Eng-
land a young French officer on ser-
vice in the neighborhood of .St. Mi- ff
hied, recently promoted for gallant-
ry on the field of battle, tells this
story:
"The Germans •could think of
nothing better to do a. few days ago
than to put on the walls of their
barracks at a large placard of
white calico, on which was written :
. 'larci a la. brave France--1iaine

from 60 to 90 metres from those of
the "Bodies," and with glasses i t
was easy to read the placard. In
the evening I was on patrol with
three good fellows of my half sec-
tion, and we crawled towards the
German lines till we were within
twenty-five metres or'so. and we hid•
ourselves in a big hole made. by a
shell.

Some of the best classes of
Gladioli are America, Augusta,

Dahlias.
Dahlias because of their bright
flowers of the most varied hues are
unsurpassed for general table deco-
ration. They grow very easily from
seed and bloom profusely. 'There is

three inches. If many ,ehoolts start,

tops cut off, tubers dried a little,
and put in the cellar until Spring.
There are six distinct classes of
Dahlias : Single, Tall Double,
Dwarf Double, True Cactus, Deco-
rative Cactus, Peony Flowered.
Pansies.
Pansies with their velvety, many -
colored and attractive petals should
greet us at every turn. Pansy

grow more freely in the cool early

Sow the steeds in drills, covering
them not more than four times
their diameter, and pressing the
soil well above them.

Telephone Girls Who Have Shown
Great Bravery.
A Belgian girl in the environs of
Liege, from which the Germane
were bombarding the city, sat at a
private telephone•, overlooked .acci-
dentally by the besiegers when all
other telephones were destroyed,
and after each return shot from tihe
fortress, looked calmly to see where
it fell, and telephoned to correct
the range : "A little more to the
right." "Too far etc the left.
"Not so high." Puzzled at first by
the amazing .accuraey of the Belgian
gunners, the Germans at length be
oame suspicious, and investigated.
The girl was discovered, arrested,'
tried, and according to the hard
rules of war, shot. The German
officer who told the story, and who
approved the sentence, expressed
the highest admiration, not only
for her daring work as a spy, but
for the unflinching courage with
which she met her fate. Yet she
was no braver than literally scones
of the heroines of peace—telephone
girls who, as the company records
show, have accepted life -and -death
risks as a natter of course, and
stuck to their opsts when duty call-
ed, through fire, orflood, or earth-
quake.
Recently, Mr. George Ethelbert
Walsh has collected afew examples.
Typical of many similar cases is that
of Juliia Devine and Lorraine. Davis.
When. the Title Guaranty Building
of St. Louis, twelve stories high,
arid fn11•of people, caught fire, the
two ' girl operators began to, send
warning of the clanger to every
offsee in the building. They both
kept at work after the smoke pour-
ed chokingly into their room, and
Mid -Spring is the best time for

plants, roses delight in deep,. rieh,

face just thick enough to cover it,

To protect Hybrid Tea Roses over

earth above the ground in the Fall.
In Spring the bush may be pruned

the cheers of the hundreds of es-

with the surging crowd on the
street.

Oklahoma, when a fire started that
threatened to destroy the town,
stayed at her postin the Pioneer
Telephone Co.'s exchange after all
the other girls had gone, frantically

the farmersand business men of
the surrounding districts. She sent
the alarm: broadcast, fairly, shouting
