Rust Defying - Because Hot Galvanized There's one feature in particular you'll appreciate about Toronto Stable Equipment. It's the only Stable Equipment made in Canada in which the galvanizing thorough- ly covers and completely coats the metal and the inside of steel tubes as well. This method makes it ab- solutely rust defying and proof against strong stable acids for the tnaximum pend—while the method ordinarily used simply applies a sur- face coating and groes only a short distance inside tubing. Toronto Stable Equipment will make work easier—keep cattle healthier—bring more profits. Let me explain the many advanteaes of Toronto Stalls, Bull Pens. Water Bowls and Litter Carriers. Jas. G.

Henri Meissen in Paris. Yet the trade value of the natural stones re- trained unaffected, The great De Beers monopoly own- tinued to distribute a cerbain stint to each nation; so did the Burma ruby mines. And in A•maberdant alone, ten thousand cutters and polishers went about their business as usual, as they have done since. the Spanish conquest of the 'Netherlands in the seven- teenth century. But now, at long last, it is the pearl's .turn (write's Ignatue Phayer in rthe Woman's Magazine;) and this ease is very different. In all ages .the "pearl of price" .has been a criterion of precious value. All the sirens of the world have coveted it, from Cleo- patra to the Pompadour. What is a pearl? 1t is a gradual secretion of "nacre" by certain kind, of oysters. It is, in the first place, due to the presence; in the shell of some foreign substance, like a par- asitic insect, or even a grain of sand. This gives rise to an ingrowing "pocket" in the cell tissues of the liv- ing creature. The pocket gradually becomes a capsule, which encloses the intrusive substance, which begins to pour u?on it, layer after layer of tran- slucent material, which reflects light into a soft. and shining lustre of matchless beauty and charm. Op to new. the great pearl fisheries of the world have of course, been pure gambles. At Broome, on the West Australian coast, in Ceylon, and in the Persian Gulf, there are regular fish. eries where either white or dark- skinned divers walk the set floor, gathering up the big gnarled shells which may or may not contain pearls of price. In Eastern seas, natives go dawn with their nude bodies greased, and with a wooden clip on their nostrils. They can remain below as long as .two mints. On the ether hand, the div- er who wears modern equipment ran, of course, remain hours under water in his rubber suit and copper helmet; this electric searchlight, life -lines, tele- phones, and air tubes communicating with a boat on the surface with its attendants and pumping -gear. The whole industry is at once uncer- tain and elaborate. Ye t fine pearls have, up to now, retained their thigh values. Even during the Great War we saw a long rope of "fine orient" pearls fetch • over 50,000 pounds at Christie's famous rooms. There are necklaces worn by the native princes of India w -hose value is far in excess even of this great figure. GERMAN SCAPEGOAT FOR MARNE DEFEAT. A British army officer, Brig. -Gen J. E. Edmonds, of the Royal Engin vers, has contributed to the Arm Quarterly an article entitled "Th Scapegoat of the Battle of the M•arn 1914." The writer's purpose is t show that Lieut. Col. llentsch was no responsible for the German defeat, a that officer's enemies and the parti sans of Von Kluc•k and Von Bulo have maintained. Colonel Hentsc was a staff officer attached to tit headquarters of Commander-in-Chie Von Moltke. The Colonel was auth- orized to represent the Supreme Com- mand. General Edmonds explains: "The custom that obtained in the German army in 1870-71 as regards the power of general staff liaison officers of Great Headquarters is well known; they were not mere messen- gers and carriers; they were expected to explain orders, end even to give orders, if necessary, in the name of the Chief of the General Staff, being supposed to be fully conversant with his wishes and intentions." When .the first battle of the Marne began Von Moltke's headquarters were "back at Luxemburg, more than 150 miles from the first army" (Von Kluck's). Communication was by wireless and by officers in motor ears. On September 8, Von Moltke was in the dark about the state of the battle. To get a clear account of the situa tion Colonel Hentsch was ordered to motor to the Fifth, Fourth, Third, Second and Frst Armies (a round trip of 400 miles,) says the New York Times. He was instructed, in case "rearward .movements had alread been initiated on the right wing," to give orders that the gap between the First Army should move in the direction of Soissons. 'Colonel Hentsch spent the nights of September 8-9 at Second headquarters. The commander, Von Billow, lead already .made an ,independe ent decision to retire behind the Marne. His eight flank had been turned; d'Esperey's infantry and Con- nean's cavalry corps were actually be- hind it. Colonel Hentsch assented. Be •had been told to respect the judg- ment of Von Bulow. The liaison officer then drove with as little delay as possible—there was a panicky feeling and 'welchconfusion behind the dines -Ito First Army .headquarters. In the First Army Operations War Diary there is the following entry: "Lieut. -Col. 'Henstch ;brought the following information. The situ- ation is not favorable. The Fifth Army is held up before Verdun, the'Sixth and Seventh before Nancy Epinal; the Second Army (Von Bulow's), is simply exhausted. The retreat behind the Marne is irrevo- cable." Colonel Hentsch transacted ;his business with Chief of 'Staff Von Kuhl. Like Von Bulow, the com- mander of the First Army may have Muckdecided to fall .back. Von Muck probably knew that the Second Army was retiring. There is, infact, evidence that Von Bulow had communicated with .hien. The War Diary of the First Army contains this singullar statement: 'tGeneral Kuhl remarked to him (Hentsch) that the First Army was in themidst of an attack; a retreat was a very ,ticklish matter, as the troops were ,thoroughly mixed up and thoroughly exhausted." The staff officer, fresh from eon: freeing with Von Below, said brat "ftidt-a tives" Cleared Her Skin Pumas,POINTS Sr. Pas, P.Q. .1 suffered for three years with terrible Etzenta. 1 consulted several doctors and they did not do me any good.

Be drew in charcoal a plan of the positions the retreating armies must take up. He made it plain tint hethad his instructions from Great Headquarters. The firstscapegoat after the battle was General Von Hansen of the, Third (Saxon) Army, but he had fought so well 'at the Marne that the report that he had been removed from his command was soon proved to be false. The truth was that he lead to be relieved on account of a severe illness. Thep it was rumored that the officer really responsible for the German retreat had been court- martialed and shot, LieuteCoZ. Hentsch of the Great General Staff in tire field. Colonel Hentsch died In service in Roumania in 1916. Von Moltke, before his own death, wrote an account of the first Marne, but i was "officially stopped." The presumption is that 'he cleared his staff officer. But Hentsch wrote in tis own defence. A part of his statement lyes been published in the .Militer Wochenblatt. Only one extract from it need be made: "The situation of the First Army about :midday (September 9th) was such that the left wing had already received the order to go back to the line Crouy-Coulombs. The possibility of the Second Army hold- ing the line of the Marne was there- fore out of the question; it must go further back if its flank and rear were not to be enveloped by the British on •the 1011:." "I am firmly convinced," said • Hentsch in his vindication, "that on - my return to Supreme Headquarters y on the 10th they thoroughly con- e curred in my arrangements. " e, Ludendorff, in a general order o issued to dieesional staffs on May t 24th, 1917, silted that Hentsch acted s in accordance with his instructions, - but Ludendorff added that "his - w torical fesearch in later years" must h determine whether a retreat was e necessary. General Edmonds de- f Blares that Von Bulow's derision and Hentseh's concurrence "saved the German Army from 'a greater disaster than it actually suffered."

Caused by Starved Nerves Due to Weak, Watery Blood, People think of neuralgia as a pain in the .head or face, but neurarlgia may effect any nerve of the body. Different names are given to it when it affects certain nerves. Thus neu- ralgia of the sciatic nerve 1s called sciatica, but the character of the pain and the nature of the disease is the same. The cause is the same, and the remedy to be effective, must be the same. The pain of neuralgia, whether it takes the form of sciatica or whe- ther it affects the face and head, is caused by starved nerves. The blood, which normally carries nourishment to the nerves, for some reason no longer does so and the excruciating pain you feel is the cry of the nerves for food. The reason why the blood fails to .properly nourish the nerves is usually because the blood itself is weak and thin. When you build up the thin blood 'with Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, you are attacking neuralgia, sciatica and kin- dred diseases at the root. The value of these pills in cases of this kind is shown by the experience of Miss Beu- lah M. Fairweather, Cumberland Bay, N. S., who says: "A few years ago, following an attack of measles, I was left in a badly run down condition. I was weak and very nervous, and had no appetite. A doctor was called in andgave me medicine, but it did not help me. My blood was thin and my bands and my feet were always cold. Then to add to my misery I was at- tacked with neuralgia, fr which f suffered greatly. I was re treed to a mere skeleton, and did n care whe- ther. I lived or not. I was in this de- plorable condition when I began tak- ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. It was some .time before I could notice any benefit from the pills, but before a half a dozen boxes were used there was no doubt that they wete helping. rate. Then I got six •more boxes, and before they were done, 1 was once more enjoying good 'health and am now strong and healthy. I shall al- ways feel grateful for what the pills have done for me, and urge all weak people to give them a trial," You can get these pills through any dealer in •medicine, or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
