The latter must indeed be a Deeulter eharaeter to those visiting Europe for the first time who meet in the !legit the rand -and -file Britieher previously known only in a vague Sort of way by representations on the vaudeville stage, by references in leading articles, or by caricatures in the funny papers. He has a strange, eontradictorY character, the ordinary BrItieher— eontradictory, that is, to people of Other natious—although he is the most. natural individual on earth to his own countrymen. The real depth and breadth of the common English- man comes home to one in the news of the continued tard-hitting and ten- acioutt progrees he is making on the west. front. With all his faults, as he appears to outsiders, the Britisher rarely fails to come' back. The trueet epitome of his national characteristics is prob- ably to be found in the oft -quoted phrase, "The British lose many bat- tles, but they always win the last!" The average :British Tommy is not to be. deduced from the wonderful aide -splitting cartoons of Bairnsfatla- er, He is not a bibulous looking, wan rus-raustached, beetle-browed, shaggy animal who, with the aid: of a clay pipe upside-down in his lips, emits wittn and scathing comments with an air ecolealastical seriousness. There IS a glint of truth in the caricature, but only a glint. The British Army is not oreposed mainly, as one might think from the newspapers, of Gen- erals; of heroic airmen, of dasbitle etroops from the overseas Dominion% They are all ;part of the army, which; however, is tomposed in bulk of eto- lid men, with Mem' faces and bright eyes, from the farme, quick -speaking Londonshomuen, clerks whose am- bition were bounded by a fJ15-a-week salary, factory worlsmen from the Neth and Midland, hard of eye and 'deliberate of speech. aataety-nine out of every 100 of the artily are peace -loving, domesticated men, with an intense, though ertex- '' preseed, love of home, and all of them as far removed from the idea of the gtaspeng imperialistic enthusiast as le the North Pole from the South Pelee They went into the war as a matter of ,duty, not to be made any fess about, but as a thing which had tosbe 'attended to. It was part of the selleme of life. They joked in their pleasant, homely way during the training, they joked whet they 'got Deer there in front of the enemy, and a geed many of theme joked when they 'were stricken Town. "All in ate day's work," would be, perhaps, the best description of their state of mind.. Unexciting,. but steady to the last, they are .possessed of that spirit which in:exalted -circles is described as "noblesse oblige"—though they would be profanely scornful if the Phrase were suggested to them. A rnanchman, recently from Europe, whe knows the Ertglieh well, 'made a friendly criticism on the British sol- lier: "Ile will go forward and be _kil- led, but he does not recognize that thltt is not' the aim of war, which is Weave one's telt in order to kill the enemy." This is a little misleading, but it portrays to wame degree the temperament of the lad froni farm factory, shop and office. They have their momenta of exal- tation, but they are not constantly iparkling forth hate or fury, or affee- lion, or enthusiasm. They love to imoke a pipe in the intervals of bat- tle; they feel that it is fitting that they ehould follow to death Me collo inander who goes over the top with them, carrying in his heads not a rifle, but just the stock of a hunting Whip. With all their genial reserve goes a stiffness, when matters fan out badly. They lack logic when pressed about going back by, the ene- Say.. Another part of their Illogical make-up is that they are always pre- pared to visit omissions or faults of their commander uPon the enemy. this is frequently unpleasant for the • THIS WOMAN SAVED FROM AN OPERATION By taking Lydia E.

But there it is, and one meet make the best of it. It is •perhaps unavoidable that one should rarely see in the papers men - nog of the gallant English regiments who have done so muck to win the war, and who have given so many ictories to the soil of France and Flanders. The ruddy-caeeked lad from Devonshire, the stolid plowmad from Hampshire, and sat -voiced, genial Kentish gardener, the taciturn open-hearted Yorkshire man from the woods, the Lancashire operative with the burr on his tongue—they are all doing the good work to -day. Reports indicate that there is a good deal ot strong language among the troops. It is a kind of &Ito- eophical swearing. They even curse each other affectionately. They smoke cigarettes in between whiles, and wonder what is going to become of first-class cricket in England when the war is over. They also speoulate as to whether the partial prohibition Is to remain permanent. Then they go out and take a town away from the Huns, and go without sleep for two days at a stretch, and get killed, and do a good share of the killing. Some of them, incideatally, no doubt, sum up matters in the pbrase, "It's a queer old world!" They never falter; they never suf- fer from nerves , They would swear vehemently if they were to be describ- ed as knights of high endeavor, and then they would go out and do and keep on doing things which would have made some knights of old flinch and tremble. There need never be any fear of the morale of the British .Army, which'is in reality the British people, eo long as there is a division left. They will go on dying it the Germans advance, but when the Ger. mans have firnshed advancing, they themselves will go quietly. torward and begin the work of killing and' keep on doing it until the eneray cries enough. Being, ]et us say, somewhat. dull of oomprehension, the ordinary British soldier would be devastated by sur- prise If it ehould be even suggested to him that he should hold his hand up - til the enemy is absolutely vanquish, - ed. They are stolid lads . They are not great at argument.—Frank Dinot In New York Times. i eseese•-•-•-•-•-•-ren 4,40-44—a-e-aas HOW TO CURE BILIOUSNESS Doctors warn against remedies containing powerful druge and alcohol.

Those whom illness has put outside the rank of robust men and women feel their position keenly They are handicapped in every walk of life a,ntl weak men and nerve -worn women need more earnestly than ever to put their health right and. become active and strong. Many who began "patching" months ago are as ill now as on the day they began vainly tin- kering with common drugs. Every ail- ing man and .woman should remember that the.ills of debility, nerve exhaus- tion, Indigestion, sleeplessness, neu- ralgia, and depression come from a -faulty blood supply. Worry, over- work or other causes have impoverish- ed. the blood and left the life -stream impure. The nerves thereby are starving and the whole system' •is languishing for new blood. In this condition many thousands have Avon back strong nerves and new health and strength through the new etch blood. Dr. 'Williams' Pills actually makes.

What is a Junket, and what is Junkerthum? are questions which many readers would like to have are swered, in view of the frequent allies. lint ta the influence of the Junkers ove• the Prussian military machine. According to Herr Eamberger, Junker (Jung Hefr) or Ybunker; is es. sentially the scion of a noble house (younger son), which has devoted itself to military service—a mixture of .Charles I, Cavalier, Prussian lieut- enant, German feudal lord and Span- ish Don Quixote; In Prussia the term was originally applied to cadets of the.noblesse, and to young country gentlemen who act- ed as ensigns and did other squirely duties; while Junkerthum or Junker- ism gradually came to denote the S3- cial qualities which distinguished this class—family pride (probably deep- ened by poverty)—reaetionery conser- vatism and arrogant caste demeanor. In 1848 the word was .applied by the liberals in a practical sense to the high Prussian or Conservative party, mainly composed of the reae- tionary landed gentry, who loathed the Very name of reform. Mommsen in his history of Rome speaks of the narrow-mindedness and short-sighted- ness as the real and 'inalienable priv- ileges of all genuine junkerthum. In- his history of Germany, Menzel says the youthful warriors of the ancient Germans were called Huns; that they took a mutual pledge as brethren in arms and elected a les.der by raising' him tie a shield. These Huns were devoted to war and pledg- ed to death. War was their business and their pleasure. Death was, part of the game. • In his chapter on the ancient Ger- man tribe of Alemanni, the same writ- er says, referring to the Invasion of Gaul in 263 A. D.: "A young svarrior, inquiring of his mother bow glory wait to be obtained, 'she replied: "There are only two ways: one by creating grandeur, the other by des- troying it.' The latter passessed the higher attraction, and leading an army across the Rhine be utterly destroyed more than 60 Gallic cities, of which not one stone was left Upon another." From their manner of conducting the present war the Junkers are a tombinatien of the ancient Runs and Alemannl and the modern Prussian of- ficer. Even Bismarck was a Junker infected with the blood and Iron na- ture of the ancient Hun, and Aleman- nian. He was always opposed to any reform where the people would strive for rights denied them by the nobia ity, and he boastingly gloried in his Junkerisni, when it was a term of re - preach by the last generatien, before • Germany bacame the Junkerthuturne nation it is to•day. • It was the Junker Bismarck' who told the English Ambassador that At- tila was a greater man thatt John Briglir; because he had left a greater name in history. It was Bismarck also who said: "All great cities are mere bodies of an- archy and revolution, and should be swept from the earth." 1 That New Suit. Straight, narrow skirts the rule.
