Unique Adventure of British Com- mander in East Africa. General Smuts, commander-in-chief of Britain's army in German East Af- rica, with his staff, recently had the unique experience of being held up, not by the Teuton enemy, but by a combined force of lions and leopards These and other wild animals are nightly prowlers around the camps, and their growlings are the lullaby to which the now usually rain -soaked soldiers dose off when they have wearied of resisting the mass attacks of big, hungry, and not -to -be -denied mosquitoes and a varied assortment of other insect pests. Tho general and his staff, who were without an escort, found themselves. at nightfall some miles from camp, and, trying to plough their way to it in automobiles, sunk in mud over the axles. It was not long before the zoo in the dense surrounding jungle began to take a solicitous interest in the party's predicament. Roar answered roar in every direction. The disting- uished party had to meet the emer- gency by sitting up all night, revolver in hand, and by endeavoring to keep a belt of fire alight around the cars. Providentially there was a brief let-up in the rain, :which enabled them to start, the fires, after long and Persis- tent efforts, with the aid of gasoline from the motors. Better Than Shakespeare. "flow silly of that Shakespeare." maid the girl, "to drown Ophelia and kill Mamlet. Why they ought t o have married!" "I ain't no high brow critic," the young' man agreed, "but that's how 'I'd a fixed it." A CAUSE OF INDIGrESTION People Who Complain of This Trouble Usually Are Thin Blooded. Thin blooded people usually have stomach trouble. They seldom recog- nize the fact that thin blood is the cause of the trouble, but it is. In fact thin, impure blood is the most common cause of stomach trouble : it affects the digestion very quickly, The glands that furnish the digestive fluid are diminished in their activity ; the stomach muscles are weakened, 'and there is a loss of nerve force. In this state of health nothing will more quickly restore the appetite, the diges- tion and normal nutrition than good rich, red blood. 'Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act directly on the blood, making it rich and red, and this enriched blood strengthens weak nerves, stimulates tired muscles and awakens the normal activity of- the glands that supply the digestive fluids, The first sign of im- proving health is an improved appe- tite, and soon the effect of these blood making pills is evident throughout the system. You find that what you eat does not distress you, and that you are strong and vigorous instead of irrit- able and listless. This is proved by the case of Mrs. J. Harris, Gerrard St., Toronto, who says : " About three years ago I was seized with a severe attack of„ indigestion and vomiting. My food seemed to turn sour as soon as I ate it, and I would turn so deadly sick that sometimes I would fall on the floor after vomiting. I tried a lot of home remedies, but they did not help me. Then I went to a doctor who gave me some powders, but they seemed ac- tually to make me worse instead of better. This went on for nearly two months, and by that time my stomach was in such a weak state that I could not keep down a drink of water, and I was wasted to a skeleton and felt that life was not worth living. I was not married at this time, and one Sun- day evening on the way to church with my intended husband I was taken with a bad spell on the street. He took me to a drug store where the clerk fixed up something to take, and my intended got me a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. By the end of the first week I could feel some improvement from the use of the Pills, and I gladly continued taking them until every symptom of the trouble was gone, and I was again enjoying the best of health. These Pills are now my standby and I tell all. my friends what they did for me." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills from any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box• or six boxes for $2:50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. POILU REFUSED TREATMENT. Paris Paper Attacks the Sentence Imposed Upon Him. The sentence of two years' im- prisonment inflicted recently by . the court-martial of Tours, France, on a soldier for refusal to submit to elec- trical treatment has caused some comment. The Paris Temps, in an editorial, points out that the Tours judges dealt with the soldier as if he were on active service and not on the hospital books, inflicting the full penalty provided by the military code for disobedience. The editor de- tected, it says, an attempt at fraud on the part of the prisoner, or else they themselves failed to consider the case in all its bearings. It is not per- missible for a patient refusing to sub- mit to a treatment both painful and dangerous, or a wounded man refus- ing to submit to an operation, to be classed as guilty of ordinary dis- obedience. The right of a human be- ing to dispose of his own body as he thinks fit is both unquestionable and unquestioned. Striving to Please.

Thoroughbred Stallion " Aniner " Will Be Seen at Canadian National Exhibition. In the interests of the breeders of Ontario and the united efforts of the various breed societies to encourage the farmers and breeders of Canada to raise horses that will meet the de- mand expected from buyers from foreign countries during the years succeeding the termination of the war, the Canadian National Exhibition, at Toronto, has arranged with the Do- minion Government and the Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society to have Anmer, the thoroughbred stallion pre- sented by His Majesty, King George, as a sire suitable to improve the stock in Canada, paraded every afternoon during the Exhibition. As an encouragement to breeders the Thoroughbred. Horse Society has de- cided to distribute the revenues ob- tained from " Anmer's " studfees in premiums at Agricultural Shows to classes of horses sired by a thorough- bred, which are best suited for re- mount and cavalry purposes. Thoroughbred Stallion " Anmer." "Anmer" is a beautifully bred horse and stands over 16 hands, with plenty of quality and substance, and a good disposition. He was elected by Lord Marcus Beresford from the Royal stud as a horse most suitable for the Canadian requirements, and has been pronounced by successful breeders to be the best stallion that has ever left the shores of the world's greatest nursery. It will be remembered that in 1913 " Anmer " was the King's Derby can- didate and was`'' running Well up in that historic event when a suffragette ran out on the course, endeavoring to snatch at the bridle. " Anmer " was thrown and the woman was trampled to death. The fall also nearly proved fatal for the jockey, Herbert Jones. " Anmer " was a winner in England in the 11/d, miles Hastings plate, second in the Payne Stakers, third in the Newmarket, St. Ledger and Royal Stakes. His sire, Flori- zell II, was a winner of the Ascot Gold vase, Jockey Club cup, Goodwood cup and Manchester cup and an own brother. to Diamond Jubilee and Persi- mmon, both Derby winners for the late King Edward and both successful sires. Diamond Jubilee was sold at the end of his racing career for $150,- 000 to go to the Argentine Republic, where he has headed the list of win- ning sires for several years. Guinea Hen, the dam of Anmer, is also a winner and the dam of Brakespear, Pintadeau and Jungle Cock. She is by Gallinule, sire of the great Pretty Polly. The gracious and timely action of King George in presenting to Canada such a stallion for the improvement of thoroughbred stock is very much appreciated by horsemen. "Anmer" has been quartered at Enniselaire farms, Oakville, but will be broughb in to Toronto for the whole period of the Exhibition, the only place where the Thoroughbred Horse Society has con- sented to exhibit him. e• COMPULSORY HARVESTING. Hungary to Make Men, Women and Children Assist in Fields. With memories of the 1915 weather fresh in mind and the freakish weat- her of the past three weeks as a warning that a record crop can easily be turned over night into a partiol failure, the Hungarian agricultural authorities have decided upon unus- ual measures to harvest the 1916 crops in the speediest possible manner. The municipal local authorities throughout the country have been em- powered to requisition for harvesting purposes the services of every man, Woman and child at home, not serving the state in some indispensable way, at fixed wages. Prisoners of war Working in non-military concerns have also been requisitioned for the harvesting ; several thousand work- men have been imported from Rus- sian Poland and all the troops in the interior who can be spared will be furloughed for the same purpose. Women not only have the last word, but in most of the arguments they usually grab the first one, ,too: Lashing a Lazy Erre` with pills may give temporary relief—but the pill habit is not a health habit.

A young woman with a notebook and a pencil entered the store of Jonathan Driggs, in a small Connecti- cut town, and said to the proprietor: "Good morning, Mr. Driggs. I'm look- ing up records of the early settlers of the town. Could you give me any information?" The old fellow turned to the desk, thumbed the ledger, and chuckled. "Well, the earliest settler I've got is Doc. Talcott, an' his besb record is three months," FRENCH CRAFTY ON WAR DEVICES • CLEVER WAYS OF OUTGUESSING THE GERMANS Painted Scenery Is One—]Side Their Great Gans With a Shield. A young American named Wm. P. Fay, who went to France to join the American Ambulance Corps, and who for the past eight months has been driving a field ambulance along the French battle front, writes as follows regarding the ingenious devices em- ployed by the French army Since the beginning of the war the French have shown themselves to have many sides to their character that no one had suspected before. One of these newly -apparent traits is theirremarkable craftiness in invent- ing military .devices of various sorts. For example ; On the side of a cer- tain hill close by the German trench- es there is a French battery of sev- eral large guns. For many months it has been in the same location, and by frequent bombardments the Ger- mans eventually managed to get an almost perfect range upon it with their long-distance guns. So accur- ate, in fact, was their firing, that one could sit in comparative safety by the window of a house only o few hun- dred yards away and watch the bom- bardments. It was like having a box at a theatre. One could hear the " depart "—as the French term the initial explosion -of the guns in the distance, then for fifteen seconds the tearing of the shells through the air like the arriving of an express train, and finally the crash as the shells landed. Often the shells would ap- pear to land squarely on the French guns, but invariably the gunners would bravely reply. Two or three German captive balloons and several aeroplanes flying back of the German l lines would observe where the shells fell and direct the firing. In order to baffle the German range -finders the French hit upon a happy scheme. For several hundred yards in front of their guns they built a shield. It was made of ordin- ary burlap stretched upon poles, and was about fifteen feet high. There- after, when the Germans bombarded the battery they were no longer able to see where their shells fell, and were consequently unable to direct their fire with any degree of accur- acy. Of course, portions of the shield were blown down at times by the ex- ploding shells, but it was the work of only a few minutes to make repairs. Using Painted Scenery Another ingenious device of the French is the use of painted scenery as a means of misleading the enemy. At a certain point along the battle front the German trenches run across a railroad line which leads from a French village about a half -mile away. The Germans could see plainly down the tracks, and were in the habit of taking pot shots with their rifles at the French soldiers who crossed the tracks. The French called in a well known painter to help them. Upon an en- ormous canvas he painted a landscape representing exactly what the Ger- mans saw when they looked down the tracks. It was 'a splendid piece of work, in full color and in perfect perspective. One night the huge " drop " was mounted upon a heavy wooden framework and placed upright across the tracks between two houses. The next morning, when the Germans looked up the tracks the view was ap- parently just the same as usual, ex- cept for the curious fact that the crossing remained deserted from that time on. They never discovered the deception and the French soldiers have been able to pass back and forth behind the screen in perfect security. A War Dish. "My wife has threatened to leave bluejackets entered a restaurant in London, the other day and asked for "Soave Zeppelins in a cloud." "Some what?" said an astonished waitress.

The number of shots that can be fired from one of the French three- inch one before it is worn out has in at least one instance, been found to be as high as 18,880, according to the actual count kept by a young ar- tilleryman, who has sent these figures in from the :front. While the three- incher was known to be a robust can- non, the theoretical estimabi before the war was that 1,000 shots would probably be the limit of its efficiency. btinard"s Liniment ^L umberutan'S ir'riend The best argument for good roads it a bad one.
