SHE IS MISS FLORA SANDS, A
SCOTSWOMAN.
Sergeant in the Serbian Army, She
'Went Through an Arduous
Campaign.
In a clear) and comfortable bed in
the Military Hospital At Salonika,
amidst comfortable and quiet sur-
roundings, lay last December a come-
ly, motherly -looking little lady, Her
bed was in the nurses' ward of Mili-
tary Hospital, Camp No. Al., and the
little lady was a patient --the only
• patient of her sex in a camp that has
accommodation for 1,600 sick or
wounded Serbian men. Oise day a
royal aide-de-camp came to her bed-
side, and, on behalf of the Prince Re.
"gent of Serbia, pinned to her breast,
with much ceremonial, the gold and
silver Cross of Kara-George—a rare
badge that is only given for conspicu-
ous bravery on the field of battle.
The whole right side of her body,
• from the shoulder to the knee, was
lately a mass of torn flesh and shat-
tered bone—the work of a Bulgarian
hand -bomb that chanced upon her as
she was helping the Serbs to clear out
an enemy trench, • But it healed as
satisfactorily as any surgeon could
wish.
Miss Flora Sands ---that is the little
lady's name—is a Scotswoman. Work-
ing in Serbia as a hospital nurse since
early in the present world -war, her
sympathy* was so keenly aroused by
.the . sufferings and heroism of the
people that, when the hospital units
were broken up during the great re-
treat of October -November, 1915, :.he
solicited and obtained permission to
enlist as a private in the rearguard
that protected the withdrawal of the
retreating army, Before that army
reached the Adriatic shore she had
won promotion. Become Sergeant
Sands, she stood high in the 'regard of
both officers and men of the crack
regiment to which she still belongs.
On the Macedonian front she went
through the whole of the arduous and
successful offensive campaign that
,began on September 12.

We had been crouching in our shal-
low pits for hours, waiting impatient-
ly for the order to attack. At 7 a.m.
the order came. ' It was snowing, and
the snow lay on the ground. I was
out of my pit in half a second, and
running as fast as my legs could
move. I am always the first to leave
cover, It is my duty as a non-com-
missioned o •dicer. But, unfortunately,
I ani not as nimble as most of my
men. So it happens that I ant gener-
ally among the last to reach an enemy
trench. • Well, I had nearly reached
the brink of the Bulgarian trench in
which, our men were already at grips
with the defenders. I was one of a
small group of laggards—perhaps
half a dozen—when a well -aimed
grenade fell in our midst. A couple of
men besides myself were in the radius
of its explosion and fell wounded, but
I seem to have got most of the scatter.
Yes, the shock was awful. Yet I

Wholesome Recreation Provided for
the British Soldier,
The following is an extract from
the London Tinges:
After a spell in the trenches our
)nen are moved back to get some rest.
From a military point of view
alone it is just as vital to revive the
spirits of the soldiers as to renew
munitions. , . . Folk at home should
see the men as they come out of the
trenches. Photographs and cinemas
lead people to think that "Tommy" or
"Jock" is always smiling. They must
get rid of that idea. I have seen
many, very ninny, trudging back from
the line dazed and done. They look
like men who will never smile again.
They look like men who have done
with life. That is the story of their
eyes. It is uncanny, it is piteous.
Their lips tell another story. Grimly
set, they express a purpose alive in

WOMEN WHO SUFFER
Can Obtain New Health
Through the Use of Dr:
Williams' Pink Pills.
Every woman at some time needs -
a tonic. At special tunes unusual
demands are made upon her strength.
Where these are added to the worry
and work which falls to her lot,
weakness and i11 health will follow
unless the blood is fortified to meet
the strain.
Weak women find in Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills the tonic exactly suited to
their needs. Most of the ills from
which they suffer are due to blood-
Iessness--a condition which the Pills
readily cure. These pills save the
girl who enters into womanhood in
a bloodless condition from years of
misery, and afford prompt and per-
manent relief to the woman who is
bloodless, anal therefore weak. Mrs.
Wm. H. Wagner, Rosenthal, Ont.,
writes:—"After the birth of my se-
cond child I suffered from troubles
whish melt motlaarlasiLtingegtae,
1 fol °vrliuo a dttiending me said - all -
operation would be necessary, but as
.1 dreaded this and as Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills had been of great help to
my sister I decided to try this medi-
cine, and I can truly say that after
using the pills for some time they
made a complete cure and made life
more enjoyable than it had been for
a long time. I think every woman
suffering from the ailments of our
sex should give D. Williams' Pink
Pills a fair trial as I know from my
own ease the great benefit that fol-
lows their use."
You can get these pills through any
medicine dealer or by nail at 50
cents a box or six boxes for $2,50

Co., Brockville, Ont.
CANADA AS A PAPER MAKER.
Capacity to Produce Pulp Wood in
Enormous Quantities.
Indications point to Canada as one
of the most important pulp and paper
producers of the world for many
years. There is no reason, except
apathy respecting fire -protection in
the pulp producing regions, why Can-
ada should not produce perpetually a'
large part of the world's paper. The
large spruce forests in the east and
north including the sub -arctic forest
which has value chiefly for pulp, show
Canada's capacity to grow suitable
wood in enormous quantities, sufficient
with any kind of protection and man-
agement, to supply the demand of all
time, Pulp forests are, however,
particularly susceptible to fire, and
need careful protection.
It is gratifying to see that some of
the most progressive pulp companies
are successfully protecting their lands
from fire. On account of the coin-
paratively rapid growth of pulp tim-
ber to a commercial size it appears
that pulp companies will be the first
who can prove that scientific forest'
management is good business for a
private concern.
The increasing production of pulp
and paper in British Columbia con-
tinues, and it is announced that the
plant of the Empire Pulp and Paper
Mills, at Swanson Bay, 100 miles
south of Prince Rupert, will be turn-
ing out chemical pulp in commercial
quantitiesthe daily output when the
plant is in full running order being
between thirty-five and forty tons.

Austrian. Imperial Family Storing
Treasures in Neutral Countries.
A Swiss correspondent of the Agen-
zia Libera, of Rome, reports that a
great sensation has been created at
Vienna by revelations published in
Austrian papers, to the effect that
treasures and money to the extent of
many millions of kronen, belonging
to the Austrian Imperial family, have
been deposited in banks in neutral
countries. The despatch declares that
the news has been fully confirmed. It
appears that money, valuables and
securities, worth more than 150 mil-
lion kronen (over $30,000,000), be-
longing to the Emperor and certain
Archdukes, have been sent into Swit-
zerland and Holland. The "Corriere
d'Italia" learns from Berlin that the
news has caused a very bad impres-
sion even in Germany.

Speaking of Appetites.
A huge eating competition had been
held by some brawny sons of toil in a ,
country town in Yorkshire, and one of
the competitors had succeeded in dis-
posing of a leg of mutton, a plentiful
supply of vegetables and a plum pud- '
ding, the whole washed down with
copious draughts of ale.
He was unanimously declared the

In a journey to -day across the Do-

of farm .fencing, particularly in the
far west. It seems but a day when
the vast stretches of our West'$rn ter-
ritories from Manitoba to the Coast
were one wide field. To -day, for hun-
dreds of miles, in any direct.n you
travel, railroad and other property is
substantially fenced; it shows to what
extent these vast areas have come
under cultivation either for clop; or
stock. No heater evideece of enh-
stantial growth could he had. It is
also a tribute to the quality of :fencing
to be had of Canadian manufaete er;;.
