ed, rub with alcohol or salt water.

Scall. Wounds.—Bleeding may be
easily stopped by tightly bandaging
the injured part or pressing a clean
handkerchief on it. •
Bleeding from Wound If from an
artery, stop the current of blood to
the wound by binding a compress of
cloth pad over the artery; which can
generally be located by the throbbing
sensation. Fasten it firmly by a
handkerchief or bandage which may
be tightened by twisting in a stick as
a binder. If from a vein, apply pres-
sure directly over the wound or make
application of cold water. Keep the
Part elevated. In either case apply a
clean cad of cloth to the wound and
press on it.
STRENUOUS WORK
SOON TELLS ON YOU
Business Men and Breadwinners
the Victims of Nervous
Exhaustion.
When worry is added to overwork
men soon become the victims of ner-
vous exhaustion — neurasthenia — the
doctor calls it. Some have no reserve
strength in their systems to bear the
strain; others overtax what strength
they have. If you find that you are
nervous and not sure o1 yourself, that
you sleep badly, and wake up tired and
aching, your nerves are out of order.
Other signs are inability to take pro-
per interest in your work; your appe-
tite is fickle; your back feels weak,
and you are greatly depressed in spir-
its. One or more of these signs mean
that you should take prompt steps to
stop mischief by nourishing the nerves
with the food they thrive on, namely
the rich red blood mado by Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills. These pills have
cured thousands of cases of nervous
disorders., including nervous prostra-
tion, neuralgia, St. Vitus dance and
partial paralysis. Here is an example:
Mr. P. H. Callan, a well known busi-
ness man in Coleman, P.E.I., says:
"I owe my present health, if not life
itself, to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I
had always been an active man, and
when I began to run down in health
paid little attention to it as I thought
it only a temporary weakness. As
time passed, however, I found myself
growing worse, and consulted a doctor,
who said that I was not only badly
run down, but that my nervous system
was badly shattered. I lost flesh, my
appetite was poor, I slept badly and
notwithstanding the doctor's treatment
grew so weak that I had to leave my
business and was confined to the
house. Time went on and I was stead-
ily growing weaker, and my friends
were all greatly alarmed for my con-
dition. In this condition I was strong-
ly recommended to try Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, and as the doctor's medi-
cine was not helping me I decided to
do so. By the time I had used three
boxes I could tell that they were help-
ing me. When 1 had taken eight boxes
of the pills I felt able to attend to niy
business again, and people were sur-
prised to see me out, I continued the
use of the pills until I had taken twelve
boxes, by which time I was feeling as
well as ever I did, and was being con-
gratulated by all my friends on my.
full restoration to health. 1 feel now
that if I had used Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills at the outset I would not only
have saved much money spent in doc-
tor's bills, but would have had renewed
health. sooner. I cannot speak too
highly of this medicine, and would
recommend it to every man who feels
weak, nervous or run down."
You can get these pills through any
medicine dealer, or by mail at 50 cents
a box, or six boxes for $2.60, from The
Dr, Williams' Medicine Co., Brock-
ville, Ont.

on the Battlefields.
We an ill wind that brings good to
no one. One unforeseen result of the
long-drawn-out conflict has been a
large drop in the population of our
prisons. Only the other day Dart-
moor, one of the most famous of our
convict prisons, says an English
writer, was converted to another use;
and most gaols in all parts of Great
Britain are experiencing an unusual
dearth of guests.
This is not due to any wholesome re-
formation on the part of our burglars,
pickpockets, and other criminals. One
great cause is the fact that most able-
bodied professional criminals are in
the Army, where those opportunities
for the exercise of their profession are
restricted.
Police supervision has been so much
simplified by National Registration
and the Conscription Aets that even
those criminals at large know how
difficult a "get -away" would be. Also
the Defence of the Realm Act has put
a spoke in the wheel of those cosmo-
politan thieves who in normal tunes
fink a happy hunting -ground in this
country.
The Army hes 'offered a career to
many men who have drifted into a life
of crime, and scores of them have

V.C., and another man was awarded
the Russian Cross of St. George.

Here are a few recipes for foodsfre-
quently used in caring for the children.
Barley Water.—Two: tablespoonfuls
of pearl barley, one quarts of water.
Boil continuously for •six hours; as
the water boils away, add more, keep-
ing the quantity one quart. Strain
through coarse muslin. It is well to
soak the barley before cooltilig it.
Barley Water with Prepared Flour.
—One tablespoonful of prepared bar-
ley flour, twelve' ounces (one and one-
half cupfuls) of water. Boil twenty
minutes.
Oatmeal Water.—One tablespoonful
of oatmeal blended with one table-
spoonful of cold water. Add speck
of salt. Stir in one quart of boiling
water. Boil three hours, adding water
as it boils away, Strain through
fine sieve or cheese -cloth. After the
sixth month, either barley or oatmeal
"Give me the London girl."
That has been the verdict of the
farmers who, often against strong old
prejudices, have been forced to avail
themselves of the services of town -
bred women throughout the past sum-
mer, says a London writer.
Others have added, "Give me the
London boy, too."
One of the most unexpected results
of the employment of women on the
land has been the brilliant success of
the London girl. She has displayed
more energy, more enthusiasm, and
more horse -sense than the country
girls themselves, and has proved her-
self more skilful. She tackles cows—
things she has always dreaded—and
quickly becoines an excellent milker;
she manages a horse with remarkable
smartness, and „handles a plough or
hoe as if born to it. Her adaptability
and good humor are her great points.
The Cockney boy wants a lot of
beating when it comes to adaptability,
and many of them have made the eyes
of the ordinary farm-hands open
wider. They get all over the farm ma-
chinery with amazing quickness. One
young Cockney learnt all about a
threshing -machine in a week, and was
in sole control of it on the ninth day.
The natural attraction which farm
life has for the town -bred boy and
girl may have something to do with
their enthusiasm, but their own in-
itiative and resource have much to do
with their success,

bined with vegetables, salt and flav-

THE NEW SPARTANS
Rising Generation Wi11 Benefit By
War's :lessons
One of the results of the war which
will be beneficial to the nation is the
fact that the young people have been
turned out in one way or another to
fend for themselves—the soldier in
field, trench, camp, and billet; and the
girl in munition -factory, bank, hospi-
tal and shop.
Thera, can be no doubt that the past
generation was being brought up too
softly, says an English writer. Either
the State or the mother seemed deter-
mined to do everything for the chil-
dren, instead of letting them do as
much as possible for themselves. The
resul'; was a lack rf independence e• 1
of a sense of responsibility, which the
war has already cured.
Instead of training children up to
habits of personal orderliness and
helpfulness, to share the labor and re-
sponsibility of the home, mothers have
been content to let children grow up
easily, without ever feeling the pinch,
without ever knowing what the work
of every day meant. it has been a
profound mistake. And when the war
is over it will be well if the lesson
taught as to the benefits of "hardness"
and discipline shall have been under-
stood and taken to heart.
Many a'big,lada will refuse ever to
sleep softly again. He has done with
feather -bed methods for the rest of his
earthly career. Let the women fol
low suit. Let them copy Spartan
methods, and the future of their chil-
dren will be a surprise and a pleasure
to them, by reason of its wholesome
progress and self ?confidence and
splendid success.
What He Didn't Do.
"Well, Tommy," said father, as his
young hopeful returned from school,
"what's the matter? Yours eyes look
very red."
Little Tommy hung his head shame-
facedly.
"Come, now, sonny, speak up! An-
swer your father," said his fond
mamma.
"I have been thrashed," saki
Tommy, "for something I didn't do."
"What a shame!" said his parents
in chorus. "And how very unfair.
What was it, old chap?"
"A sum," came the brief reply.
