extent.
A dangerous type of measles has
been prevalent: in Cambuslang, and
there has been quite a large number
of deaths.
The Highland and Agricultural, So-
ciety have decided not to take any
steps for the holding of the annual

Deepite the war and the high cost

sles in the Fintry district the Trinity
school has been closed and Birkenhills

son.

distinct earth tremor recently. The
station building shook and doors rat-

• Well over 2,000 MacLeans are in

DIRK ASA SIDE ARM.
British Writers Call for Addition to
- Soldier's Equipment.
Trench warfare has brought back
not only armor and the hand grenade,
but the dagger, and in England, says
the Springfield Republican, there has
been of late some curious discussions
as to the ethics of stabbing instru-
ments. The British pride themselves
on the use of the bayonet, and allege
that the Gernians shrink from "cold
. steel " But in trench fighting fixed
bayonets are unwieldy, so the !nen
have adopted the practice of taking
off the bayonet and using it as a dag-
ger. •
It is not well suited for that pur-
pose, and some military writers are
now calling for the addition to the
soldier's equipment of a murderous
little dirk. One brigade, it is said, has
been eo equipped. But this proposal
is not without protest. A bayonet,
even used as an effective dagger, is a
taoldier's weapon, but a dirk is the in-
strument of an assassin. In northern
countries the knife is taboo, though it
was used by knights in the ago of
chivalry.
In the south the tradition lingers.

She Gives Them
All the Credit
Says Dodd's Kidney Pills Made
Rer Well.
Miss Gertie Newman, After Two
Years' Suffering, Tells How She
Found a Complete Cure,
Boy's Cove, Notre Dame Bay, Nfld.,
Jan. .24th (Special). -- "After 'two
years of weakness and suffering I am
again in perfect health and I give all
the credit to Dodd's Kidney Pills."
That is the statement made by Miss
Gertie M. Newman, an estimable
young lady living here. She is so
overjoyed at her recovery that she
wants all suffering women to know
how she found her cure.
"I had a cold to start with," Miss
Newman continues, "and then things
just seemed to go from bad to worse.
My back ached, I had cramps in my
muscles, and I suffered from head-
aches. My sleep was broken and un-
refreshing, my eyes were puffed and They did me good, •too.

Then I took two pills, and put' one
kind of plaster• on my chest, another
kind on my back and a third kind un-

"Thanks to my governor's advice, I
had sense enough to clap a mustard
plaster on my stomach also, and to
sleep with red-hot bricks at my feet.
"An old lady brought me a bottle
of goose oil and showed me how to
take it—you suck it, you know, off a`
quill. My uncle from the country turn-
ed up with a bundle of herbs; these
herbs made a tea thatI took a cup/of
every half hour. On a cousin's ad-
vice I got outside an enormous dose
of salts.
"My wife got me to take three pills
of her own make—they were brown,
bitter and about the size of eggs.

the least exertion. I was always irri-
table and in the mornings I had a bit-
ter taste in my mouth.
"Reading of cures by Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills, I decided to, give them a
trial. I took a dozen boxes in all, and
you can see how they helped ine. I
recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills to all
suffering women."

Berliner Zeitung Reveals German's
Distress.
Despite the assertions made in the
Reichstag that food is ample and star-
vation in Germany is impossible, the
Berliner Zeitung says: "It is difficult
to imagine that things could grow
worse just now without some crown-
ing disaster. The masses of the peo-
ple are hungry all day long, many
articles of food having reached a
price wholly beyond the reach of the
families of the working class. Hun -
"The crisis was now reached, and I
retired to my bedroom. There, after
tossing off a pint of tar balsam, I tat-
lowed my nose, steamed my legs in
alcohol bath and took large doses of
hot rum, spearmint tea and castor oil,
which were severally recommended by
a sea captain, ray minister and my
grocer. Then I took seven different
kinds of pills, wrapped round my neck
an old stocking of my wife's soaked
in hot vinegar and salt and got into
bed.
"As I dozed off they burned feathers
on a shovel before me.
"That completed the cure. I am now
well. I recommend this simple cure
to cold suffers."

A WONDERFUL MEDICINE
FOR CHILDREN
ger renders the people sullen and de-
prives them of all joy in victories,
though all the bells are ringing and
flags wave. The children are under-
fed, pale and wan, looking like faded
flowers. The extent to which the fall
in the birth rate occupies the attention
of the Government was shown at the
meeting of the People's Welfare Asso-
ciation at Berlin. In the meantime we
are informed that the military author-
ities have forbidden meetings con-
vened to discuss the dearness of liv-
ing."

Has Supplied Milk to Men on Section
of the Front.
The Rev. G. H. Donald, in a letter
to the congregation of the West Par.
ish Church, Aberdeen, published in the
Aberdeen Free Press, says;
"I was walking up a trench for the
fleet time with the signalling officer,
and as we trudged along sniffing the
air I said to him, "Hello, there's a
cow herel' We very soon found the
cow in a dug -out all its own with the
superscription, `Mary' and the little
rhyme about the `crumpled horn' and
a 'dug -out that the French had built!
"This cow is entered in the books
as a `trench store' and has supplied
us with excellent milk. She has been
well fed and well tended. Ration bis-
cuits and grass are her staple food.
A soldier farm -boy lovingly tends her,
and a sentry is set over her while she
feeds on the precious grass plot at the
edge of the wood lest some marauding
villain from the next battalion should
covet her.
"She's the picture of content, and
the other day a shell burst twenty-
five yards from her dug -out and ruin-

TO SAVE EVES
Is the Object of This Free Pre-
scription—Try It If Your
Eyes Give You Trouble.
Thousands'of people suffer from eye
troubles because they do not know what
to do. They know some good home rent-
ecly for every other minor ailment. but
none for their eye troubles. They neglect
their eyes, because the trouble is not
sufficient to drive them to an eye
specialist, who would, anyway, charge
them a heavy fee. As a last resort they
go to CO optician or to the five and ten -
cent store, and oftentimes get glasses
that they do not need, or which, after
being used a few months, du their eyes
more injury than good.
Here is a simple prescription that
every one should use: 5 grains Bon-
Opto, 2 ounces water. 1Gse three or four
times a day to bathe the eyes. This pre-
scription and the simple Bon-Opto sys-
tem keeps the eyes clean, sharpens the
vision and quickly overcomes inflam-
mation and irritation; weak, watery
overworked, tired eyes and other similar
troubles are greatly benefited and often-
times cures! by its use Many reports
show that wearers of glasses have dis-
carded them after a few weeks' use.
It is good for the eyes, and contains

Just a Statement About Food.
Sometimes a good, healthy commer-
cial traveller suffers from poorly se-
lected food and is lucky if he learns
that Grape -Nuts food will put him
right.
A-traveliing man writes: "About a
•
year ago my stomach got in a bad
way. I had a headache most of the
time and suffered misery. For several
months I ran down until I lost about
70 pounds in weight and finally had to
give up a good position and go home.
Any food that I might use seemed to
nauseate me.
"My wife, hardly knowing what to
do, one day brought home a package
of Grape -Nuts food and coaxed me to
try it. I told her it was no use, but
finally, to humor her, I t; ied a little,
and they just struck my taste. It
was the first food that I had eaten in
nearly a year that diel not cause any
suffering.
"Well, to make a long story short, I
began to improve, and stuck to Grape -
Nuts. I went up from 136 pounds in
December to 194 pounds the following
October.

Colonel Repington Looks for Final Ef-
fort Against Russia.
Colonel Repington, military expert
of the London Times, says the German
military situation is "not brilliant,"
notwithstanding Germany's successes.
He figures that Germany has probably
lost 3,500,000 out of the total of 9,000,-
000 men she was able to mobilize ;qtr lana, pastry and sweets

and October unable to maintain her
army effective with the men of mili-
tary age then at her disposal. She
must therefore before that date force
a decision on one front or another."
Reviewing the probabilities, Colonel
Repington thinks that the tnaiir at-
tempt will be made against Russia.
He regrets that Russia's new offensive
in the south 'synchronizes with quies-
cence on the part of the other Allies,
and sounds a warning against what he
calls "the pleasing fancy that Russia
is going to win the war for us," add-
ing, "We must firmly decide to win it
ourselves."
The writer reiterates his previous
warnings of a possible German dash
against England. "Desperate needs,"
he says, "often entail desperate reme-
dies."
"England, therefore, ought not to
neglect a single precaution," concludes
Colonel Repi.ngton.
