PRIVATION ION AND MOURNING IN
THE EMPIRE,
Deep Anxiety Also Felt Regarding
the Finances of the
Eaiser's ]Land.
Some part of the territory Of
Fri nee is occupied, to be sure, but
von Bethlnann-Holl'weg• seems to fore
get that the whole of Germany is
occupied, says the New York Times.
Not by an enemy; her greatest Mili-
,etary •effectiveness has prevented that.
Butt in every part of the empire there
is privation, denial, want; not merely
of comforts, those may be dispensed
with, but of the common and neces-
sary things of life. Actual distress
may not as yet be evident, but it is
in men's thoughts as a thing foreseen,
Throughout the empire there is
mourning; it is a land of deep mourn-
ing for the unnumbered dead whom
neither victory nor anything else
could restore to friends and families,
and there is the horror and the dread,
everywhere present, of new afflic-
tions. There is deep anxiety, too,
about the finances of the empire.
Plausible talk and the assurances con-
tinually given to the German people
cannot conceal the disorder and the
increasing strain.
Power Exhausted.
Germany cannot rid herself of
then. It is the intention of, her foes
that she shall not. The conviction
grows that with her apparently -cer-
tain defeat at Verdun she has ex-
hausted her power of offensive. She
is headed off in the east by Salonica,
by the disillusionment and despair of
the Turks, by the Russian thrust
toward Bagdad, by the British troops
beady perhaps on the mote from
Egypt, where the removal of the peril
to the canal has released them from
what we may call guard duty. The
German navy is sealed up—it can
come forth only to its destruction.
'There remains the possibility of an-
other drive in Russia. It would be
terribly costly, for not only is the
coc,ncry to be traversed exceedingly
difficult. but the Russians are now
v: cl: equipped for resistance, even for
offence. But a successful drive in
that quarter even for hundreds of
miles, would not free Germany • • from
hee hnrra:sments at home. The fur-
ther sfhe penetrated into Russia the
worse ' off she would. be.
The :'fillies Can Wait.
This is beyond all question the view
the allies hold of the present position
of Germany. Plainly it is their re-
:•olve that conditions in the empire
half not change save .for the worse.
archly it may be, but with care and
' eerrnous expenditure, overlooking
nothing, neglecting nothing, they have
made their formidable preparations to
that end. These are the grounds for
believing that nothing can come of
any discussion of peace upon such
terms as those said to have been sug-
gested by the German Chancellor. The•
allies have put themselves in a posi-
tion where they can afford to wait.
Germany can still defend herself
stoutly; there can be no doubt about
that. But the ,allies know very well
that the, ring of iron must do its work
upon and in the German empire. When
the German people, thus far pretty
successfully deceived, conte to under-
stand that victory is hopeless, they
must, as the only way of escape from
the unendurable suffering, put their
government in a frame of mind to dis-
cuss peace terms quite other than
those based upon the status quo and
an indemnity from France.
EXPENSIVE REPAIRS.
How the t'illag'e Blacksmith Repaired
a Lamp Chimney.
In order to stimulate his trade, the
village blacksmith hung out a sign
that read, "Whatever It Is, I Can Re-
pair It." On the morning of April
Fool's Day, the town wag elbowed his
way through the usual crowd that was
collected round the door, and banded
• the blacksmith the parts of a broken
lamp chimney.
"Pd like you to put this together
for me as soon as you can, John," he
said, winking toward the crowd,
The smith took the ragged bits of
glass, examining then carefully while
the' idlers looked on with considerable
amusement. Then he went into the
room in the rear of the shop. Step-
ping across the alley to the grocery
store, which was 'out of sight of the
-crowd, he bought a ten -cent lamp
ehincney exactly like the broken one.
How everyone laughed when he step-
ped out of his little room a moment
later and put the whole chimney into
the: astonished wag's hands with the
dry remark:
"X'll have to charge half a dollar for
that job."

MISS DOLLIE McCLAIN TELLS .OF
DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS
roomoweas
Alberta Lady Tells of Quick and
Complete Cure Through Using
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Ferguson's . Flats, Alberta, April
10th (Special.) --"Yes, I am very glad
I can say that .I have tried Dodd's
Kidney Pills and found them all that
is claimed for them." So says Miss
Dollie McClain, an estimable lady re-
siding here. •
"I was troubled with a sore back
that made me almost helpless. ' I
took one box of Dodd's KidneY Pills
and my back is all right. I can do
my work and -the pain is all gone."
Thousands of women in Canada ate
suffering daily tortures from pain in
the back. Thousands. of others like
Miss McClain are doing their work
without ,an effort because they took
the advice of others and cured their
backache by using Dodd's Kidney
Pills.•
Every woman should use Dodd's
Kidney Pills. They are the finest
tonic in the world because, acting di-
rectly on the kidneys, they tone up
those organs to do their full work
of straining all the impurities out of
the blood. Pure blood means new
strength for all parts of the body.
New strength means new cheerful-
ness. That is why so many Women so
cheerfully testify to the benefit re-
ceived from using Dodd's Kidney Pills.
WORLD'S RICHEST MAN.
Czar of Russia Has Income of
$550,000 a Day.
The distinction undoubtedly belongs
to the Czar of Russia, of whom it has
been said that he has so much money
no body can count it. And it is a fact
that the wealth that is his as controll-
er of the Russian Church, and as ruler
of all the Rusias, including that of the
members of hi s extremely wealthy
family, would certainly be too great
to count, including as it does all the
wealth of Russia, which is estimated
at. $85.000,000,000.
The Czar's personal wealth, accord-
ing to one statistical genius, works
out at $550,00.0 a day, and should Rus-
sia get cioct'n to its last cent—or rather
kopek—in the royal exchecquer, Nich-
olas, singlehanded, could keep the en-
tire Rusian army in the field several
weeks.
Most of the Czar's wealth is deriv-
ed from landed possessions, of which
he has nearly 150,000,000 acres, three-
quarters of which is rich timber and
yielding big rentals. • The other quar-
ter in mining land. Siberia's mines
are owned by the Czar, while his jew-
elry and art works are of fabulous
worth. The Czar's State income is
about. $10,000, out of which, however,
lie has to provide for the. expenses el'
his household, which includes the up-
keep et' more than a hundred palaces,
to say nothing of the Rusian Court,
with its 30;000' servants, 230 automo-
biles, 5,000 thoroughbread horses, and ,
an army of several thousand soldier's
and detectives.

HANDY HUSBAND.
Knew How to Get Part of the
Breakfast.
"'I know one dish I can prepare for
breakfast as well as any cook on
earth,' said my husband one morning
when the cook was ill and he had vol-
unteered to help get breakfast. He
appeared with his dish and I discover-
ed it was Grape -Nubs which, of course,
was easy to prepare for it was per-
fectly cooked at the factory, but it
was a good illustration of the con-
venience of having Grape -Nuts aboub.
"We took up Grape -Nuts imme-
diately after returning from a five
years' sojourn in a hot country. Our
stomachs were in bad condition and
we were in poor health generally,
"Ina day or two we liked Grape -
Nuts better than any other kind of
food on the table. We both gained
steadily in health and strength, and
this was caused by Grape Nuts and
Posture. •
"A friend of ours`had a similar ex-
perience. She was" seriously ill with'
indigestion and could find nothing •to
eat that would not give her heartburn
and palpitation, •especially. et night.
"She found that a small dish , of
Grape -Nuts with cream made her a
satisfactory supper and gave he't' a
comfortable night's rest. in a short
tine she gained several pounds in
weight."

MANY ANIMALS IN WAR.
I orses, Mules, floats, Elephants and
Cancels Share in Struggle.
It is doubtful if more kinds of ani-
mals have ever taken part in warfare
than in the present European con-
flict, says London Answers.. The list
includes horses, mules, dogs, ele-
phants, goats and last, butnot least,
the never weary camel. Dogs are be.
ing used for sentry and ambulance
work, for draft purposes and .as car.
riers of messages and ammunition.
Goats are being employed as food
for the Indian troops, while .the ele-
phant has been given the task of
handling heavy timber. Of these
animals, however, the camel is the
most honored.
An Eastern legend has it that the
camel was fashioned last by the
Creator, and so it is held in very high
esteem by the people of the East._
Although a somewhat unshapely and
perhaps a bad-tempered animal, the
camel is an untiring worker.
He will travel on for hour after
hour without appearing distressed in
any way, and on this account has
made a good name fbr himself. There
is not the least doubt that the camel
will come up to expectations where -
ever it is employed in the present con-
flict.
SOME RUSSIAN WORDS.
Most of Them Are Long and Lumber-
ing—Few Monosyllables.
As languages go, I think it may be
said that Russian is not so very dif-
ficult, says Hamilton Fyfe in the Lon-
don Daily Mail.
It is quite true that there is more
of "the immense pomposity of ses-
quipedalian verbiage" in this than
in most other tongues, Monosyl-
lables are rare.
Small, common words in French
and English are long and lumbering
in Russian. Man is "cheoviek," bread
is "klieb," next (as in next day) is
"sleeayclooyooshtchooyoo." This is
not a joke.)
All participles are tremendous.
"Being," for instance, is "yahvlia-
yooshchoeyasya." This last word, by
the way, illustrates the. compendious
character of the Russian alphabet. In
English It has twenty -Ocie• letters; in
Russian only ten. "Yah" is represent..
ed by one letter, an "R" burned back-
wards; "shish" is one Ietter; "yoo" is
one letter.

HOW GERMANS STOP WASTE.
Smallest Metal Trifle is Saved and
Sent to Government. 1
Every British newspaper at the
present time is appealing to its read-
ers
ead ers not to waste certain • things, as
old newspapers, medicine and other
bottles, wood, and so an.
In Germany the 'appeal was made
many months ago and the greatest
care has been taken of everything
which could possibly help the Ger-
man armies to continue their fight
against the world.
Perhaps the most amazing example
of economy of 71 nation is the way
metal of all kinds is collected by the
Huns. Not only. are such obvious
things as copper kettles, pans, door-
knobs, handles, and fire irons collect-
ed, but everything in the metal line.
When a tube of toothpaste is empty
it is not tln'own away,' but sent for

clis advertise regularly for old metal

TRAGIC FOLLY,
It will not be long before the Wfly
season is again with us, accompanied
by supplications from the general
press to "swat the fly." Simultaneous-
ly, the deadly poison fly paper, makes
its appearance, with the possible risk
of fatal poisoning wherever there
are 'children.
For during 1915 twenty-six cases
of fly -poisoning were reported from
eleven states. In 1914 forty-six chil-
dren were innocent victims.
This record is in all probability
incomplete as symptoms of arsenical
poisoning are so similar to those of
choltra infantum that even physicians
of long experience are likely bo con-
fuse them, and the subsequent illness,
is ascribed to cholera infantum,
The Michigan U.S.A. Legislature
has already passed a law regulating
the sale of poisonous fly papers. The
question should be considered by every
civic body of Canada and the States
to stop infantum mortality from an
absolutely unnecessary cause.
Probably the best way to get rich
quick is to go slow.
