The latest batch of VictoriaCrosses have been awarded to three officers and two privates in English regi- ments and a sergeant of an Iri.rih regi- ment. All distinguished themselves not only for indifference to danger, but for quick thinking. In every case the winner had rallied and led troops ;under fire, had snatched victory from defeat. For instance, Private Robert Rider, of the Middlesex, assumed com- mand of his regiment when all the officers had been killed or wounded, led a remnant of men forward, and with the aid of a Lewis gun cleared the trench in front of him and carried the enemy's position. In commenting upon the latest awards and reviewing some earlier ones, the New York Sun observes that among the winners was an elderly man who left a wife and ;nine children at home in order to serve his country, and "that glorious boy," John Travers Cornwall, who, „"mortally wounded, remained at his post in the Jutland battle because, as he explained shortly before he died, "he thought he might be needed."

In some par- ticular instances, the highest wages do cause the rising of prices; but broadly speaking, the idea is quite false. The process is one of read- justment to a new scale of prices; those who carry on various business enterprises reap an abnormal profit through the rise of prices, and when they have yielded up some of this to the workers, things have simply gone back to a condition of equilibrium. When wages are raised in the steel industry, for example, in such condi- tions as exist to -day, that is not in the least a factor tending to raise prices; it merely affects the distribu- tion of the surplus (over normal re- turned), which existing prices yield. A TALK. � IEUMA1$SM Telling How to Actually Cure This Painful Malady. This article is for the man or wo- man. who suffers from rheumatism who wants to be cured, not. merely relieved—but actually cured. The most the rheumatic• sufferer can hope ." for in rubbing something on the ten- der, aching joint, is a little relief. No lotion or liniment ever did or can make a cure. The rheumatic poison is rooted in the blood. Therefore 1 rheumatism can only be cured when this poisonous acid is driven out of. the blood. Any doctor will tell you this is true. If you want something I that will go right to the root of the blood take Dr. 'Williams Pin1c Pill%.; ' They make new, rich blood why,;;' drives out the poisonous acid an I cures rheumatism to stay cured, The truth of these statements has been proved in thousands of cases through- out Canada, and the following cure is !a striking instance. Mrs. F. M. Simp- son, R.R. No. 1, Blenheim, Ont., says: , "For a long time I was confined •to my I bed, and actually crippled with rheu- matism. The trouble first located ia my ankle—which was much swollen. I thought it might be a sprain, but the doctor said it was rheuui:atism and advised me to go to bed so that the trouble would not be aggravated. �I did as directed, but instead of , get- ting better it spread first to my right. knee, then to my left knee, and then to my arms. The limbs were much I swollen, and if I moved them caused me considerable pain. I seemed to get weak in other respects and fell. off in weight from 158 to 110 pounds. I had no appetite and seemed to lose interest in everything. One day I while reading a paper I came across the case of a rheumatic sufferer ;cured by using Dr. Williams Pink Pills. I decided to try them and sent for three boxes. By the time these were gone I had certainly begun to improve, and with help was able to get up. Con- tinuing the use of the pills I was first able to go about with the use of a crutch, which later I discarded for a cane, and then through the use of the pills I was able to throw aside the. cane as well, and go about as briskly as I had ever done. I feel that Dr. Williams Pink Pills have been a blessing to me, and I strongly re- commend them to other similar suf- ferers." You can procure these pills through `px,;;3ag;, mail at'50 cents a,box or six boxes for$ $2.50 from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Couldn't Fool Dinny.
