DIARRIME
WAS SO BAD.
Thought She Would Lose Child.
.••••••••=•••••••••....
During thnhot weather young children
are very meeh subject to diarrhoea, in
fact, more so than adults, on account Of
the more delicate construction of their
constitution. It behoeves every mother
to look after her children on the first sign
of any looseness orthe bowels, for if they
do not some serious bowel trouble such,i
as diarrhoea, dysentery. cholera infan-
tum, cholera morbus, summer complaint, I
etc., is liable to follow, and they will I
perhaps, loose their little one by not
taking the precaution to check this loose-
ness of the bowels by using Dr. Fowler's
Extract of Wild Strawberry.
Mrs. R. jt Hillis, St. Mary's, Ont.,
writes: "My little girl was so bad with
diarrhoea the doctor could not cure her,
and we were sure we were going- to lose
her. A friend of mine told me to use Dr.
Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry, so 1
I sent for a bottle right away, and by the
time I had given her one bottle she was
able to sit up, and before I had the second
bottle used she was cured. I tell every-
body about this sure cure. The price 1

SEAFORTH, RIDAY, July 601,1917
FROM THE 1 OMINJON CAPITAL.
The debate on conscription has
brought out so e point worth remem-
bering. Notabl there was Sir Sam's
statement tha the profiteers
recruiting in t is country as long ago
as New Year, 1916. It was about
that time Pre ier Borden issued his
famous call for the last hundred thous-
and men and lose on its heels came
the organized lam of the great cap-
tains of indust y who feared that the
countrtt wouldl be drained of men to
the detriment f the vested interests,
Sir Sam sai4 the official chill was
thrown into re miffing justaabout that
time and he o ered to read e mfident-
ial letters from Premier Borden to
prove it. Premier Borden refused the
kind offer. The exigencies of the case
hav made Sir Sam a strong friend a
conscription, bit he does not go back
on his opinion that if recruiting
hid got a fair show conscription
would not have been necessary. The
Conservatives do not like this candor.
on Sir Sam's part. They cry down his
speech. One of them said it was simply
Sam turning in his grave. But if it
was that, he made a noise like a cem-
ent mixer.
Even the .most ardent conscription-
ists adniit that Premier Borden made
a weak seeech in favor of it. The
gist of his argument was that com-
pulsion in the 'form of the Militi
Act, had been on the statute books
ef Canada for alinost fifty years, -and
that Sir George Etienne Cartier was
its godfather in baptism. In other
words, Premier Borden put the prin-
ciple of conscription -up to the Quebec
man -he passed the buck. This is only
part of -the Government's general be-
haviour in backing as far away from
the Military Service Act as it can.
Premier Borden also vowed that he
had made no promise to organized
labor. As for his recruiting trip in
the West, he rather hinted that it was
a veiled threat of cortscription and
that the country should have got wise
to it.
Sit Wilfrid Laurier, while plowing
his own furrow, realized that conscrip-
tion is a question which every man'
must settle with his own conscience.
The Liberals in the House of Commons
will vote each man as he pleases -
there will be nd party whip. Sir Wil-
frid gave the key for the debate in his
own speech Which was calm, dignified
and moderate. There will be no dis-
plays of passion. Conscientious ob-
jectora on both sides of the House
may state their objections, but there
will be no fireworks,- The restraint
of the French members from Quebec
is worthy of great praise, Whatever
Bourassa and Lavergne may have done
in Montreal and Quebec, their compat-
rlots in the House of Commons have
spoken and acted in a calm and reas-
onable public spirit.
Sir Wilfrid asked for a referendum
on the ground that the people should
be consulted on such a vital depart-
ure from the free principles which
animate our constitution. He was
st pported in this resolution by so
staunch a conscriptionist as the Hon.
Frank Oliver, who has sacrificed a
son on the field of battle. Mr. Oli-
ver is in favor of conscription by a
Government which has the mandate
of the people behind it. This man-
date inay be had by a referendum or
it may be had by an eelction. Many
members on both sides of the House
would welcome an election. They
feel that Parliament is in a false posi-
ton-a year dead but speaking.
One of Sir Wilfrid's strong points
was that the Borden Government had
obtained a year's extension on false
pretences. They had said there would
be no conscription and on that promise
Parliament had -unanimously lengthen-
ed its own life one year. The question
now arises: What will the Borden
Government do about another exten-
sion? Will they ask for an election
before they enforce the Military Ser-
vice Act or will they ask for an exten-
sion? The best guessers incline to an
exension. An extension will either
cool it off for the Borden Government
or make it hot. Consequently it finds
favor from two points of view -with
those who trust to time to heal all
wounds and also with those who would
give the Borden Governmnt a chance
to stew in its own Juice.
As soon as the conscription bill is
passed the question of extension will
be a live one. If an extension is re-
fused it is hardly likely that the Gov-
ernment would press the matter. Still
an extenion would be more convenient
An election would mean a long sum-
nier session of parliament and a bitter
fight on a federal franchise act -that
is to say if the franchise is to be so
ruthlessly manicured as the Conserva-
tive press hints. The Junkers in the
Conservative party do not stop at dis-
enfranchising aliens alone ;they clamor
for open voting. That palladium of
liberty, the secret ballot, is what
they would destroy next.
Meanwhile the Government is doing
some eletrenth hour work with a view
to appeasing the people. One would
hardly call it eleventh hour work -it's
more like 11.59. The last minute,
you know, Indeed that has been the,
policy of the Government and its pro-
fiteering friend& ever since the war
started -the last man, the last dollar,
the last minute. In other words keep
squeezing the last man of his last
dollar up to the last minute. Patriots
4who
te we fld'
make ten per
the war have been
encoltiaged by the Borden Govern-
111aCti011 to take a hundred per
eent and more for their shop-worn
good. The food exploiters have led
the country a devils' dance. The Min -
%ter Of Labor has risen to his hind
Icgs.from time to time to explain that
the food barons are as lenient as pos-
sible -consistent with their desire to
make all the money in the country.
The golden tongue of Sir George Fos-
ter could say nothing more cheerful
than that no man "could sit on a nail
keg and regulate prices."
This being the stand the Government
takes toward commodity prices it is
natural to suppose that Mt. Mitgrath,
who has been appointed fuel eontrolle,-
and who is a Goverment official, will
approach the subject in_ a collected
manner. He will be at pains to re-
strain his generous impulses toward
the people and put the whole burning
question on a basis of cold justice.
The lion. W. ',I. Hanna has been
appointed foal controller with such
wide powers that he may not be able
to get round all of them. People
here are wondering what Mr. Hanna
will do with the unofficial food dic-
tator, Sir Joseph Flavelle, Bart. Will
there be a clash? Mr. Hanna has a
will of hig- own and a roomy intellect.
He can do a lot if he is in the mood.
Rumor has it that Mr. Hanna has a
retainer of $25,000 a year from the
Standard Oil ,Company. One hopes
that Mr. Hanna will not mix too
much standard oil with our food. Mr,
Hanna was the "Wicked Partner" in
the Whitney Government. This may
be his chance to atone.

HOW FIUN PLOTS WERE •
EXPOSED.
Amazing examples of the part play -
'ed by The Providenee Journal in foil-
ing German plots and in bringing the
'United States into the war were given
the Canadian Press Associatioa last
week by Mr. John R Rathom, the Edi-
tor of that publication in several ad-
dresses. Following are a few of the
more remarkable feats of the staff to
whom their chief gave all the credit:
A reporter. on The Providence
Journal acted for seventeen months
as ' one of the private secretaries of
Ambassador von Bernatorff, the ac-
credited diplornatic representative of
the German Empire to the United
States, and the evidence of the Am-
bassador's activities thus exposed by
the Journal resulted in his departure
from American shores in disgrace.
Another staff reporter followed Dr,
Heinriseh Albertexchanged suit cases
with him and secured the evidence
which defeated the plot to involve Ire-
land in rebellion and ended in the ex-
cution of Sir Auger Casement. A six-
ten-do11ar-awe4 stenographer in the
office of The Journal outwitted Cap-
tain F. Von Papen, German naval at-
tache at Washington. How she did
so would make the plot of a moving
picture scenario.

markable personality, shrewd, cour-
ageous and very good-humored. Born

United States and is a thorough -going
American, a patriot with breadth and
sympathy enough to accord full praise
t Canada for her sacrifices in the war.
hie one aim throughout was to bring
his fellow -citizens to see that Germany
was their natural foe. 'God bless
Canada," was his simple conchtsion.
Mr.. Rathom explained that for
years before war was thought of The
Providence Journal had had a ''bug"
for wireless telegraphy, and had two
stations of its own on the Atlantic
coast. When war broke out they
conceived the idea of tapping Sayville
and Nantucket, and in that wey, long
before any exposures were m sde in
The Journal, they had accemulated
enklence of German complicity in mis-
chief -making in the United States
which would' amountto a hurdred
times more than was alreadly publish-
. Then ,had come the following-up
in which the neperters had been in
lu abl e, and the romance of spy -
hunting had surpassed all fiction.
Of the Ottawa Parliament Build-
ings fire, Mr. Rathom said they had
no positive information, but three
weeks before if took place they had
information of a plan to destroy the
Parliainent Buildings about that time,
with two munition plants in -Canada.
Both Parliament Buildings and the
munition plants were damaged by fire
or bomb within forty-eight hours of
the time of which' The Providence had
information. "That is all I know of
the Ottawa fire," said Mr. Rathom,
"but I am content to believe that it
could not be charged to carelesness
ma- lack of ordinary precaution at
Ottawa, because we know how diffi-
cult it is to circumpent these men."

ate plots had fallen dirough beCIMISO
of this characteristic German stupid-
ity, One of these was the case of
Lieut. Werner Horn, the young Ger-

blow up the Vanceboro' bridge. This
man had gone to the trouble of grow-

The whole story of how one sole
newspaper was enabled so to expose
German secret plottings in the United
States that it resulted -first, in recall
of one official after the other up te
Count von Bernstorfi, and then proved
a great weight in convincing President
Wilson of machinations against the
State, could never have been told if
the enormous initial difficulty of the
wireles codes had not been overeOrre.
After five months of war and after
nearly 100,000 messages had been
stored in the vaults, the Journal was
fortunate enough to discover -the code
to read sone of these mesoapiet. ..tirm-
ed with facts thus revealed by its four
operators, the Journal's reporterJ were
sent out to take jobs in the German
Consulates and other places named in
the messages.
"The material we got in five months
would keep us going fpr 26 years;"
bad Mr.Raihom. "We eve not touch-
ed 50 per cent. of it. We have not
printed 10 per cent. of it. We would
have gone on doing so, but the result
we wanted came about'
"We were --working under a cloud
for the first nine months of our ex-
posures," said Mr. Rathom., "Nobody
would believe us, The authorities
took no action. Finally I went to the
President and showed him the mes-
sages that had been going to Berlin
via Sayville about 'Little Emily.' 'Lit-
tle Emily' was part of a secret code
These messages sometimes told of her
death, sometimes of details of her fun-
eral, but the strange part of it was
that Emily died as many as nine times
in one week. The President was con-
vinced, and the Government then put
a large staff at work to decipher the
codes'and handle the information that
had been received by the Journal from
the wireless messages going to Ger-
many,'
Making Fool of Bernstorff.
Most daring of all the adve 'tures
of the Journal staff during the subse •
quent "exposure" period was the part
played by a reporter who got a posi
ton as a private secreary to (data
yon Bernstorff. For seventeen months
he maintained his disguise a id elayed
his double part, keeping the Journal
informed of all that the German Alli-
basador was doing. The Journal kept
this information to itself -anti': it was
quite ready. Then Bernetorif was
completely discredited. Whes he was
recalled, his private secreary went
with him as far as the boat.
"Hurry up," said Von Bernstorff,
who did not in the least suspect he
had been fooled; "you will lose your
boat."hink I will be safer on this side,
smiled the reporter. And this is how
Von Bernstorff learned the troith.
Overheard Bryan and Dumba.
The pacifist sentiments of William
asnnings Bryan, American Secretary
of State at the opening of the war,
were rudely dealt with by the Jour -
r01. It happened that a Journal man
overheard the conversation between
Bryan and Dumba, the Austrian Am-
bassador, in which Bryan agreed to
influence President Wilson to suggest
that United States citizens refrain
from sailing on ships carrying muni -
tons, in return for German's putting
an end to submarine warfare.
"Don't pay any attention to the
President, he means nothing," Bryan
was heard to say, referring to Presi-
dent Wilsons notes. The Journal
printed the terms of this agreement
and the remarks of Bryan in full, with
the result that Bryan, unable to deny
the story, was eliminated from the
Cabinet.tthe case
case of the attempt te involve
1
the United States in a war with
Mexico, it was a Journal man that
engaged the room where Thierta and
the German agents discussed the
terms. "Of course being our man he
ttngaged suitable rooms, and we were
enabled to hear every word and send
the information to the Department of
State."
"The Pierced Hearts" Trick.
The story of the stenographer, a '
young girl who was employed by Dr.
Heinrich Albert, the Austrian Consul -
general in New York, was perhaps
the most romantic of all. This girl
had no previous experience of plot-
ting and counter -plotting or city ex-
perience whatever, having come to
the Journal from the country some 20
miles outside of 'Providence. She
simply used her native New England
wit. A certain package of papers was
to be sent to Germany through Eng -
[land on a Swedish ship, according to
information that the Journal had se-
cured, These papers told who were
the agents of the Teutonic Govern-
ments in the United States, what
their services had been to date how
much they had been paid, and how
much was still to be paid. The case
was to be shipped with other cases of
similar outside apeparance containing
harmless freight.
The girl's task was to identify the
particular box so that it could be pick-
ed out when it got to England. She
saw the box in Albert's .office and
kept her eye on it. So did von Papen,
the German naval attache at Washing-
ton, who WEAS hanging around Albert's
office for the purpose. The girl, dur-
ing her watch, sat down on the pre-
cious box and began to eat her hanch.

The unsuspecting von Papen struck
up a flirtation and invited self to
share the sandwiches. Before long
he was talking sentimental twaddle,
and the girl encouraged him by tak-
ing a red lead pencil out of her hair i
and coyly drawing two big red hearts

" The New York' Ships.
The discovery that the German
ships in New York harbor had been
damaged was made by the Journal,
but the authorities would not believe
it, as their own man had reported
that they were all right It was not
until Mr. Rathom had shown the offi-
cials samples of the carborundum
sand that had been poured into the
engines that they would believe.
Then the officials admitted that their
inspector had only been above decks.

planned was due to the watchfulness
of 60 or 70 Italian workmen, working
around the wharves in various dis-
guises, employed by the Journal.
"We always found that if we looked
enough into any Germa-n scheene we
should find a hole big enoUgh in it for
a school boy to crawl through," COM-
n.ented Mr. Rathom. Then he traced
the disclosures throughout 1916 and
down to the present year which had
brought success to the Journal's aims,
Partial List of Triumphs.
It was in April, 1915, that the Pro-
vidence Journal exposed the German
Embassy plot to discredit the Wash-
ington Administration, and these dis-
closures focused the eyes of the
world on that paper. In the early
months of 19115 powder plants in Illin-
ois and New Jersey were blown up
with loss of life, and merchant ships
-were ruthlessly destroyed, but it was
not until July that the real carnival
began. It was then, too, The Provi-
dence Journal exposed the Sayville
wireless frauds, the result being that
the United States Government seized
the station.
The celebrated conversations be-
tween ex -Secretary of State Bryan
ard Ambassador Dumba were next
published, causing a profound sensa
tion throughout the world, and read-
ers will remember that a bomb Was
next placed in the east wing of the
pitol at Washington and an attempt
was made on the life of J. P. Morgan,
both by the same personsFrank Holt,
a German sympathizer, who after-
wards committed suicide,
Lusitania Plot and After.
The story of the Embassy's part in
the Lusitania sailing was first told by
Mr. Rathom's paper. The attempt 'to
bribe Samuel Gompers, who twice re-
fused enormous fortunes if he would
betray labor and help Germany to
foment strife in industrial plants,was
disclosed in the Journal. Boy -Ed's
and von Papen's activities were pub-
lished, and the publicity forced the
Government to act, and they were de-
clared objectionable persons.
It was the Journal which first told
of the fact in September, 1915; that
England had bagged 80 per cent. of
the German submarines, a fact after-
wards adrnited by the British Gov-
ernment. The plot to blow up the
Welland Canal, the intrigues of the
Germans in using the Red Cross as a
cloak for spy work, the bomb plots,
the activities in Mexico and the help
of Huerta were all exposed first by
The Providence Journal. The year
1916 was in the main a repetition of
the atrocities of the year previous,
But Boy -Ed and von Papen and von
Igel and Dernberg and von der Goltz
and Dumba were sent back to Ger-
many and Austria, while dozens of
others, of lesser degree, are languish-
ing in United States prisons.
The story( of 1.917 has been full of
great honor for the theeddence
nal and Mr. Rathom. Munition
multiplied, but a pitiless puloliei
made the going extremely liaZarlYag.
The end was in sight in February
when Gerxnany announced her new,
submarine policy. As he sailed Berne

"villainous liar and creature of
land" Germany's activities in Maxim
were exposed, the trouble -making of
Mr. Bryan Was ShOW11 tO he a part of
a plan to keep the United States in. a

Mexico -Japan deal proposed by the
German Foreign Secretary, Zimmer-
mann, were all first published in The
Journal, as was the etory of the plot
to destroy theships interned in New
York harbor.

entitled to the thanks of the coudiry

LITTLE WORRIES
IN THE 1:1031B

These Bring the Wtieklet and Patti
Faces that Make Women
Look Prematurely Old.
.11.01•ENINIO=INIONIMII•
Almost every woman at the head
of a home meets daily many little
worries in her household affairs. The
care of her little ones, the work
about the horse, all contribute to
these worries. Most of them may
be too small to notice an hour after
wards, but they constitute a con-
stant strain that affects the blood an
the nerves and make women look
premaurely old. The affect of thaw
little worries may be noticed in sick
ot nervous headaches, fickle appet-
ite, tiredness after slight exertion,
and the coming of wrinkles which
every woman dreads. To those thus
afflicted Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
offer a speedy cure; a restoration' of
color to- the cheeks brightness to
the eye a hearty appetite and a sense
of freedom from weariness Among
the many thousands of Canadian evot
rnen who have found new health and
strength through these pills is Mrs,
G. Strasser Acton. West Ont., who
says: "I am the mother of three
children and after each birth I be-
came terribly run down. I had wersk,
thin blood, alawys felt tired and
unable to do my household work.
After the birth of rny third child
seemed to be worse, and was very
badly run down. I found the great-
est benefit from the pills and soon
gained my old time strength. indeed
after taking them I felt as well as in
my girlhood and could take pkasur-
in ray work. I also used Baby's Own
Tablets for my little ones and have
found thern a splendid medicine for
childhood ailments."
Dr. Wiljinnas' Pink Pills me sold
by all dealers in medicine, or yeti
