Able Treatment Uy the Germans Of Those Who Refuse To Work. The Lendon, Iringland, office of the Belgian Ministry of Justice has given out the story of 11,000 Belgian de- portees who at Soltau refuse to work for the Germans. According to the Information from occupied Belgium it appears that some Belgian deportees who were ill had been sent back to their homes. On their return to Sol - tau one morning, finding these persons were nearly dying, the Germans bud- ' tiled 70 of them into a cattle truck at- tached a goods train, and one after another as the train passed the dis- tricts whence they had been taken they were made to get out. Some took three days and nights to get to their destination, although in ordinary times the express train takes six hours in the journey from Soltau to Brussels. The only care they received during the journey was that they oc- casionally were given bread and wa- ter, and .they arrived at their homes emaciated and coughing, most of them having doubtless developed tu- berculosis. They were received with tears, and seemed to their families and friends but the ghosts of those who had returned, Some described their adventures and the descriptions agree in all points, giving conclusive proof of their veracity. For food they were given at Soltau camp in the morning a decoction of boiled acorns only] at noon half a litre (about a pint) of soup, composed mostly of water, some turnips, carrots and shrimps, without bread or potatoes; at 3 o'clock 260 grammes (about half a pound) of black bread, bed and often mouldy; in the evening half a litre of •the same soup as at noon, sometimes containing bran and maize.

One workman, tired of his mis- ery, attempted to escape and was brutally killed. He was shot and fin- ally despatched with bayonets. In spite of such martyrdom thee men still refused to work. The most tempting offers were made to them of good food and bigh wages, but the great majority preferred to face hunger and death. Various methods were adopted in order to obtain the consent of the men to work. One day forty artisans were taken away and a week Iater, when they returned, they told their comrades they had been taken to the Grand Duchy of Baden, where they were given abundant and exceeding food for a couple of days and then in- formed that they would receive the same amount every day if they would consent to work. On their refusal they were sent back to Soltau, re- maining 34 hours in a cattle truck without food and without being able to get out.

Made in Canada. Details of Modern Dress give very much the impression of a suit. It has been observed of late that such dresses giving the appear_ anee of suits have been very much worn at afternoon functions. A waist with a short peplum sometimes gives this effect, especially when the dress is developed in velvet, velours, or the other wool materials which are used both for suits and dresae', Lace neckwear with high collars and long flowing jabots is again in style, and those who never were able to wear' the low Collars becomingly now have the chance to reveal in these. But the low collars are still numerous, made of fine linen, batiste, Georgette and net, embroidered ever so daintily and the edged with lace for further decoration. Lingerie was never s0. irresistible as it is now. Of .sheerest Georgette crepe and silk voile in delicate colors are garments of every type. Fine em- broidered underwear, of course, is al- ways correct. Wash satin and crepe de Chine are more favored than ever for lingerie materials. These patterns may be obtained from your local McCall dealer or from the McCall Company, 70 Bond Street, Toronto, Ontario, Dept. "W." It is well known that from Russia we have received a great many con- tributions to the styles, not only in the line of blouses. and dresses, but in the Russian turbans raised in front. Some of the turbans are worn with chin -straps, or "brides," to which a veil is often attacked. The Russian blouse o dress,the with ee and long blouse reaching falling over the pleated skirt, is one of the best -liked styles of the season. Sometimes it is made with high close - fitting collar, and again, the open neck with the becoming sailor collar is -- ----' NERVOUS DISORDERS Are Promptly Cured by the Use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. If your hand trembles or is an steady, it is a sure and ea1lY s? i that your nervous system is at fate': The trouble if not taken in time will develop slowly to a worse stage, and there is no person more to be• pike# than one suffering . from nervous trouble. You feel unaccountably weak; after exertion, lose flesh, turn agaa?1St food, and suffer palpitations and indi- gestion after eating. Sometimes sharp pains shoot down your .spine and legs, and often neuralgia robs you of your sleep at night. These are some of the troubles that indicate the presence of nervous disorders. If they are neglected they result in a complete nervous collapse, sometimes in paralysis. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have won a great reputation in curing all forms of nervous diseases. .The nervous system depends entirely upon Not His stat.

He catches colds which rack his little system; his stomach and bowels get out of order and he becomes peevish and cross. To guard against this the mother should keep a box of Baby's Own Tablets in the house. They regulate the stomach and bowels and break up colds.

Small Quantity of Coal Burst Shell When Heated. We have often been told of the enor- mous amount of energy stored in coal which we are unable to use, and the truth of this statement has recently had the strangest proof at a Sheffield (England) munition works. A turner found a scrapped, imperfect shell on the waste heap in the yard, and plac- ed it in the blacksmith's fire, intend- ing to use it as a foot -warmer during breakfast -time.
