The London correspondent of The New York Tribune cables under a irecent date; • Arthur J. Balfour is First Lord of the Admiralty, head of the British Navy --the greatest navy in the world. With ib out of the way, Ger- many could win the war in a couple of mouths, take over the British. Isles, hammer France into submission, and demand ruinous indemnities that would turn the world topsy-turvy. It, is Mr. Balfour's job to see that the navy remains very much in the way. Recently I had the pleasure of seeing and talking with him at his London home, only a stone's throw from the office of the Admiralty. Fully six feet ball and .broad in pro- portion, • Mr. Balfour does not show his sixty-eight years. His manner is courteous and charming ---if that ad- jective may be applied to a man. He is gentle and .kind, without a trace of the brusqueness cornmonly associated with Sea Lords. Antithesis of Von Tirpitz. T should say that war is the last game Mr. Balfour would select for en- joyment or recreation. He is the an- tithesis of Von Tirpitz, Turning the conversation to the question of fighting, I asked; "What has been the big surprise of this war^—submarines; aerial warfare, speed or gun range?" "None of these," replied Mr. Bal- four. "In my opinion; trench war- fare and the value of artillery. Stu- dents of the submarine haven't been surprised; they had thought out and planned ways of increasing its effi- ciency and also defences against+ it. Students of air problems haven't been surprised at the development of aerial warfare. The development of both these branches of fighting has been rapist, but along lines- thought out before the war. "No one anticipated that trench warfare would play so great a part in modern fighting, and no one fore- casted the tremendous importance of artillery. Even the Germans with all their thoroughness in making prepar- ation Cor this conflict, failed to foresee to what extent trench fighting would have to be relied upon, once the con- tending forces were of anyway near equal :itreegth. Verdun an Illustration. "'the Germans prepared for artil- lery fighting, but Verdun is a strik- ing illustration of the fact that they have not reached perfection. They pounded and smashed fortificatibns which were considered impregnable. But still they have not been able to reach their objective." We were standing at the entrance to the Admiralty, and officers passing in and out saluted the First Sea Lord. la every case he returned the salute, but continued to talk on just as if he were in his study, with nothing ..to distract his attention. He is a mem- ber of the War Council,, and as such knows every detail of the fighting on land and sea. It struck me as highly interesting that this man the head of Breat Brit- ain's navy,' should consider that the surprises of the war come from the field rather than at sea. There was not a single word of boastfulness from him about the British navy, but I came away with a feeling that he was not worried by any lack of pre- paration or efficiency in his depart- ment, and that if Germany decided fin- ally to try conclusions on the sea Brit- sin would meet her without fear of the result. Of British naval officers I have met there was nota single one who was a pessimist. There is a spirit of unrest among then, the unrest of a perfectly brained thoroughbred in paddock be- fore the race, a keenness to get into action. At their head is Balfour, calm, courteous and serene. He makes you feel that he is boaster •of the situ- ation, strong and powerful as ' the , British navy itself. You can givo no higher prni ,e to any sv r leader. Tit for Tat. A bright Irish lad entered a baker's shop for a twopenny loaf. When he picked tee his purchase it seemed to him under weight and he said so. I{ "Never ,. ," I ivr..cel. mind that, said the baker,, "it. w'11 he the less for you to carry." "Very well," replied the boy, and' throwing three half-pennce on i counter lei walked away. The baker called h'a.t back and told him the' nio)icy wee a halfpenny short. "Oh, hi\ el r.•tt11t1 that," returned the kid, "it will •be the ;less for you to cellnt." A Ask Around You for the Proof THAT DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS AL- WAYS CURE KIDNEY DISEASE In Every Neighborhood Yon Will Find People Cured of Backache, Rheu- matism, Dropsy or Diabetes by Dodd's Kidney Pills. Lac Bouchette Lac Sb. Jean, Que.— April 17th (Special.)—Mr. Arthur Fleurie, well known and highly re- spected here, has just issued a short, concise statement in regard to Dodd's Kidney Pills. It is ass follows: "I have found that Dodd's Kidney Pills are an excellent remedy and that they cure kidney disease, rheumatism and indigestion." Mr. Fleurie has received such bone - fit from Dodd's Kidney Pills that he wants other sufferers to know how to find relief. Ile feels' it is his duty to his fellowman, If you inquire among your neigh- bors you will find scores of people who have found in Dodd's Kidney Pills re- lief from some form of kidney trou- ble. It may have been the dry, itching skin, dizziness, nervousness and in- ability to get refreshing sleep that mark the earlier stages of the disease, or it may be diabetes, dropsy, rheu- matism, heart disease, or some other of -the dangerous diseases that mark its advanced stages. You will find that Dodd's Kidney Pills cure kidney trouble, no matter where or in what form it is found. Ask your neighbors for the proof. Born to the Purple. In the privacy of his home the vil- lage butcher was telling his wife of the arrival of a new summer resident. "She came in to -day," he said, with enthusiasm, "and I can tell you she's a real lady, brought up select and ex- clusive. She doesn't know one cut o' meat from another, nor veal from mutton." • Attinard's Liniment Relieves Neuralgia. Where it Was. "Where's your bayonet?" "One 0' them 'eathen Huns swall- owed it, sir."

"WHIRLPOOL BATHS." The. Latest. Medical. Invention. for Wounded Soldiers. The "Whirlpool Bath" is the latest medical invention. It is described in a London medical periodical as fol- lows: "The wounded soldier whose wound has become stiff furnishes one of the greatest problems of the present day, The problem has been approached from various directions, but so far the most successful work of alleviation seems to be that carried on at the Grand Palais, which consists In the use of the so-called 'whirl -pool bath.' The bath is designed for the arm and the leg. By means of it a whirl of water at very high temperature -120 degrees fahrenheit—and pressure is applied to the limb for about twenty minutes The relief of pain is remark- able. emarkable. After the bath the limb can usually be manipulated with freedom." Minard's Liniment Co., Limited, Gentlemen,—I had my leg badly hurt, the pain was very severe and a large swelling came above the knee. I expected it wouldbe serious—I rub- bed it with MINARD'S LINIMENT, which stopped the pain and reduced the swelling very quickly. I cannot speak too highly of MINARD'S LINI- MENT. AMOS T. SMITH. Port Hood Island. A NEUTRAL IN GERMANY. • A Swedish Professor Reveals Un- comfortable Conditions. The impression that the German people are living isolated from the rest of the world in dense ignoronce of what is happening beyond their boundaries has been confirmed by the Swedish professor, Patrik Haglund, who visited Germany recently on a tour of observation, says• the New York Sun. "The people in the shops, in the streets, in the restaurants know nothing," says Professor I-Iag- hind. When he met old friends or made new ones they "thoroughly drained" him of news. Ile found that the censorship kept the people "in ignorance of everything that might ,give rise to inconvenient reflections." The papers contained only official war news, and all of it favorable to Ger- man arms. Picking up a copy of the Frankfurter Neueste Nachrichten at a railway station, Professor Haglund was amazed to see spread all over the front page an article entitled `Assas- 1 sination in War," which told its read- ers how the British Government had murdered ten or more Englishmen' whose offense was that they had shown sympathy for Germany. The newspapers were filled with propaganda articles, in which a specs -1 men was a panegyric upon the new Belgium as ruled by German army of-' ficers and their civilian aids, "which gave anybody with an ordinary sense; of justice little more," says Professor Haglund, with reserve, "than a feel-' ing of discom fort," 1 That the German people had no doubt of the satisfactory prosecution' of the war by the Government and its' successful issue was plain from a talk the professor had with a doctor about the value of the German mark in Sweden. • The Gorman doctor, wheat so informed, asked how the Swedes could be so mad as to depreciate the mark, and he was dumfounded when told that it was not considered to be worth any more. Even off eers and medias'. men who returned from the front "were ,absolutely ignorant of everything that had not happened in their immediate circle of action." Ber- lin was war weary, judged by the ap- pearance and manner of both soldiers and civilians. It may be supposed that a little of •the truth. about Gond'- tions on all the fronts and the danger - our submarines ci)ntloversy leaks mit, now end thou in Berliil,'with, the is stilt that faith in final victory is' shaken. There was one thing that Professor . The Doctor Calls It. "Auto -Intoxication It means self-poisoning—an ailment that is almost uni- versal with mien and women of sedentary employment. Its cause is the daily intake of indigestible foods. Min- oral salts and saline laxa- tives will not cure it. Help Nature to clean out the poisons by eating Shredded Wheat Biscuit, a food that builds healthy tissue and keeps the bowels sweet and clean. The perfect food of health and strength for youngsters and grown-ups, for men who work with hand or brain. It is ready -cooked and ready -to -serve. Made in Canada. Haglund noticed with a thrill; the condit'on of women was undergoing a change. Before the war they "look- ed up" to the stronger sex and there 'was complete subordination: to it. But now that women have taken the place of men in so many employments and the men have failed in almost two years of war to conquer and subdue Germany's enemies, the women feel that they are of far more importance in the community than they used to be. "Now they have," says Professor Hag- lund, "an air of fearlessness and con scions self-control." OSTRICHES WALTZ ON SAND. Indulge in Queer Antics on the Plains of South Africa. One of the oddest sights of the sandy stretches of plain in southern Africa is a party of waltzing ostriches. A. writer on the subject thus describes their queer antics: "When there are a number of them they will start off, and, after running a few hundred yards, will stop, and with raised wings will whirl rapidly round till they are stupified or per- haps break a leg. The males pose also before fighting. They kneel on their ankles, opening their wings and balancing themselves alternately for- ward and backward or to one side or the other, while the neck is stretched on a level with the back and the head strikes the. sides,. _nr1w_ otl.the. right. now on the left, while the feathers are bristling. The bird appears at this time so absorbed in its occupa- tion as to forget all that is going on around hila, and can be approached and caught. The male alone utters a cry, which sounds much like an ef- fort to speak with the mouth shut tight." Good Reason. "Oh! Why did I ever marry you?" "Becaus;e I didn't know any better," GOOD REPORT. Doctor Proved Value of Postum. Physicians know that good food and drink, properly selected, are of the at- most importance, not only for the re- : lief of disease but to maintain health even when one is well. A doctor writes, "1 count it a pleas- ure to say a good word for Postum with which I have been enabled to relieve so many sufferers, and which I count, with its valued companion Grape -Nuts, one of the daily blessings. "Coffee was banished from my own table some time ago and Postum'used regularly in its place." (Both tea and coffee are injurious to maey per- sons, because they contain the subtle, poisonous drug, caffeine.) "1 frequently find it necessary to instruct patients when they take Postum for the first time to be quite sure that it is properly made accord- ing to directions, then it has a clear, seal -brown color and a rich, snappy taste, as well as health giving quali- ties." The above letter, received over ten years ago; is fully contained by a re- cent letter from the doctor, in which he says: "It is a pleasure to render a good report covering a product of which I ale so enthusiastic a friend. "I am using in ley home your Postum Cereal in both its forms. And, what is more, I ale having it used in the families of several patients in which there are children, and all unite in endorsing the fine qualities of your • admirable product."

Let me give , you an unfailine method' for gathering in all the rats for miles around, says J,R,H, in. the Pall Mall Gazette, Get .a large tub, fill It about three parts full with water. Stand a brick on Its end in the middle of the tub. Get some brown paper as a bridge stretching from the rim of the tub to the brick, all around the tub, so as not to let the water be seen. Thee put a slab or board up against the tub for the rats to run up. Put a piece of meat as a bait on the top of the brick and saturate it with oil of rhodium. The rats will came from all quarters at the very smell of it. The first rat up the bridge tries to get at the bait, and falls through the brown paper into the water. He thea climbs on to the top of the brick and starts to squeal. All the other rats for miles around come'rushing to the aid of their dis- tressed comrade, and each one top. pies into the water and is drowned. Only one can oecupy the top of the brick at a time. By this means whole neighborhoods could be cleared very rapidly, )i(linard's Liniment for sale everywhere Where Rufus Stood.
