"What did you do in the Great War ?" It won't be only "daddy" who is ask- ed that question by the next genera- tion. Mother and grandmother and grandfather will have to give an an- swer, says London Answers. "How I wish I could do something splendid!" cried the young girl in 1914. `Fancy being a girl at a time like this!" But, in 1917, sex is no handicap to splendid achievement. We all know that 1915 poster which shows a, young man in khaki shaking hands with a veteran, who says: "If I were only twenty years young- er--" But age is no bar to patriotism and sacrifice in 1917. A year ago, two years ago, the young man bemoaned the fact that he was unfit for military service. Your Chance at Last. "There's nothing really the matter with me," he explained, "only the mili- tary are so beastly particular!" The disability to hold a rifle, through some trifling unfitness, is no bar to Hun strafing in 1917. And why is 1917 different from the throe War years that have preceded it?. In 1917 the call has come for Na- tional Service. We cannot please our- selves whether we work for the nation or not this year. It is our duty. It is the right thing to do—the only thing to do! Do we quite see the glory and the opportunity of this day? How often in the life of any one of us has it been given to know that a certain course is right beyond all doubt? Seldom, in- deed. But now we have the certainty. "Your work is needed for the victory of the right, and to save yourself from ruined hopes." It Rests With You. The solution rests in the hands of the National Service volunteer. He may not know anything about agriculture;'at present; but strong e i ueei'u am an,d Aeroplane making, munition work, labor of all kinds is waiting to be done. Shortage of labor is a press- ing problem. The solution rests with the National Service' volunteer. And note the word "Volunteer"! It is a great word. We are prouder of the soldiers who volunteered than of those who were forced to go. The sol- diers will be prouder of the workers who i!'ol nteer than those who are compelled. Every true Briton 'between the ages of eighteen and sixty-one not called to the Colors should promptly respond to the nation's summons to enrol to -day. He will find forms for offer of ser- vices at every post -office, National Service office, and employment ex- change. - Every man between forty-five and sixty -one --and the man who feels be- tween those ages, but is a little older —who feels the blood of youth still running in his veins, should step into line with his relatives and friends who BANISH PIMPLES AND ERUPTIONS In the Spring Most People Need a Tonic Medicine. One of the surest signs that the blood le out of order is the pimples, unsightly eruptions and eczema that come frequently with the change from winter to spring. These prove that the long indoor life of winter has had its effect upon the blood, and that a tonic medicine is needed to put it right. In- deed there are few people who do not need a tonic at this season. Bad blood does not merely show itself in disfigur- ing eruptions. To this same condition is due attacks of rheumatism and lum- bago; the sbarp stabbing pains of sciatica and neuralgia, poor appetite and a desire to avoid exertion. You cannot cure these troubles by the use of purgative medicines—you need. a tonic, and a tonic only, and among all medicines there is none can'equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for their tonic, life-giving, nerve -restoring powers. Every dose of this medicine Makes new, rich blood which drives out im- purities, stimulates every organ and brings a feeling of new health and energy to weak, tired, ailing men, women and children. If you are out of sorts give this medicine a trial and see how quickly it will restore the ap- petite, revive drooping spirits, and fill your veins with new, health -giving blood. You can get these Pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 60 cents a box or six boxes or $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont. are fighting. The young man whose infirmity keeps him out of khaki should prove that he is really sorry not to be able to "do his bit." If he is really sorry, the opportunity has come to prove it. The Only Way. Many professed themselves ready to die for King and Country if they had been able. How many will be ready to work? Work is. less heroic, it is more humdrum, but it is not less ne- cessary to victory. There are no V.C.'s or D.C.M.'s to be gained by it, but it is a chance for service and sac- rifice. Let every man ask himself: "Am I doing my bit?" and, having asked the question, let him leave the Director of National Service to answer it.. It is quite possible that the answer will be: "Yes, you are. Carry onI" ut every man who volunteers for Na- tional Service Helps the Director in his task of putting the right man In the right place. If he is to do his job, be must know whom he can rely upon. He must have the power to send mels to the places where they are required. It may be here to -day, and somewhere else to -morrow. War does not wait on the conveni- ence of individuals. War of to -day is an affair of nations, and that nation will be the victor which best uses all its Man -power and will -power to achieve victoi;G" 'Heart and brain and nerve and muscle,,, trained to the ut- termost., and by one and all; that is the only way to shorten -the agony which now overspreads the earth.

"Make hine,take off his put- tees, too," Still in speechless wonderment the soldier helped Trooper B, .execute these orders, In a moment he 'wad standing with almost all his kit on the grass. "Now, Mr. A.," said the General with great severity," "you know Ger- man. Examine those papers, please, and see what sort of information this spy has been collecting for the enemy." ea Mr, A. examined closely all, the lit- ter on the grass, but found not a thing even to warrant a hint of sus- picion that the soldier was a German spy.There's nothing at all incriminat- ing here," he exclaimed, turning to the General. "There are some letters from home, quite harmless, a few pic- ture postcards, his flay book and an envelope with two five franc notes." "Oh, is that it?" The :General scowled blackly at the soldier until the latter hung his head. Then he clear- ed his throat: "Well, my man, I want you to un- derstand this—a British soldier -who does not salute a British officer is eith- er a spay or a fool. You, apparently, are just a plain fool." Thereupon, turning on his heel, the General jumped into the saddle and started to ride off. But the General. reined in for a moment and turned in his saddle, grinning down upon the soldier who stood at attention, half dressed, his belongings. scattered about. "All right, you can dress now!" said the General, and this time he gal- loped off. The story spread and there are few- er complaints now of inattention to the rules of the service in the British army. An Odd Way of Enforcing Discipline Employed By British General. They are laughing in the British trenches in France and in the London clubs over a story of how an English General taught discipline painlessly to one of the millions of new soldiers England has made. The name of the General varies in the telling. Some say he is Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig. Others say the Irish General Gough only could have done it. Whoever he may be, he cannot let the day pass without taking his ride a -horseback. Though this General is known to most British soldiers, and though his uniform shows: his rank, he passed one day while en : his dell '•ca int -yi sial 'i i°'e' l 'Fie -o p`oi d re' tion. The soldieicid not salute`_ The_ General stared a moment, puzzled. whether or not to reprimand the man. Then a slow grin passed over his face. He turned to his aid. "We'll dismount, Mr. A.," he said, and then turning to his orderly and pointing to the soldier, "Trooper B, arrest that man and bring him here. He's a spy." The General gave every appearance of being in deadly earnest. In a mo- ment Trooper B. had brought back the suspected man in a state of bewilder- ment and no little trepidation. The General then proceeded to order and supervise a search of the man. "Take off his -coat! Empty his pockets! Take off his cap! Look in- side the lining! -Never know where these spies hide their papers," he THE BEST MEDICINE, FOR' LITTLE ON:S. Baby's Own Tablets are the bost medicine a mother can give her little ones.

Great Benefit of Utilization of Wood For Paper Making, It is just 5A years since the first wood pulp paper in the United. States was manufactured, and it would be difficult to estimate the benefit this has conferred upon the world, for it was a step in the d ssemination of knowledge, particularly current news, just as was the invention of movable types and the printing press, says the Portland Oregonian, It will be remembered by many still living with what care every rag was saved to be converted into paper, and how the paper, after it had served its purpose at the printer's, was care- fully put aside for wrapping parcels. Those were days of automatically im- posed thrift, which were followed by disregard of economics so widespread that already after only half a century we are confronted by a prospect of serious shortage of supply of the new raw material. Just as the supply of rags in the sixties would not have sufficed for growing needs, so it appears that soon there will not be enough wood pulp to go around. But we have grown so accustomed to finding substitutes whehi we had to have them that the world is not alarmed. The barrel or bowling -pin silhouette appears to be meeting with success not only in skirts of the tailored type, but in afternoon frocks. The effect ob- tained by soft draperies and pleats at the upper part of the skirt makes very graceful lines and is especially pretty in afternoon silk frocks. The sketch shows one of these models developed in dotted foulard. The waist of this design is particularly interesting, as it features the new kimono sleeve cut so as to form a part of the body of the 'waist. The curved line starting from the collar and going under the arm is e n in many designs and allows for tp use of two materials, that most Interesting Coronation Ceremonies for New Queen of Abyssinia. The ceremonies of crowning the new Empress of Abyssinia, Zeoditu, took place the latter part of Febru- ary and lasted a week, which was ob- 'served as a holiday throughout the country. The new Empress remitted all arrears of taxes and proclaimed general amnesty for criminals still at large. The Empress was crowned in the Cathedral of Addis Abeba at 4 o'clock in the morning. No foreigner was permitted to witness this ceremony, but at 8 o'clock the Empress took her seat upon a throne and received the diplomatic corps, most of the foreign` residents and the principal Abyssin- ian chiefs, who paid homage. The Re- gent, Ras Tafari, stood on the steps of the throne. An address was delivered by the Bishop of Abyssinia, after which the Empress read a proclamation to her subjects. The day's ceremonies concluded with a gorgeous procession to the palace and a banquet.
