The ques- tion of man -power is acute. Lloyd George frankly told the House of Commons that Ameedra must place more men in the field, and that the age limit of the draft In England must be increased.

(ltlsen* Were Forced 10 1;at. Some Fantastic f)I,hot. A lot of Parisians Insist that the war of 1870 was only a alight skir- mish in comparison to the world war of to -day. still during the "little war," as certain pollux disdainfully tall it, the Parisians "swallowed a dose of medicine," wbicb the Pa- risians of 1914-18, after 1,265 days of war, have not swallowed or even been threatened with taking. This does not refer to the frlghtfal episode of the Commune, but to the siege and its "restrictions" and the extraordinary food inventions that sprang up in those days. 10a queer little book signed "Bert, sine," which speared in 11172, are complied the "menus of a Paris restaurant during the siege." This Ilene was a bit of a philosopher, alightly revolutionary in his ten- dencies, enemy of the middle class, anti he tried to prove to his contelll- porariee that the rich Parisians dur- ing the siege lacked hardly anything. Here Is tan menu of_,l(tn_.?1, 1871, of the' restaurant Peter in tbe Pa suge des Prinrea: celery root and fresh butter; noo- dle soup, horse a la mode; veal cut- let ; eggs stuffed with ham; chicken. thl ties and asp,n•agus, vegetable den- se t the menu calls it; stewed fruit. I1 of which sounds quite plentiful, But it must be remembered that bread, except in the fashionable r s- taurants, was execrable and uneat- able, and that the Mabee above named were much beyond tbe means of per - tons with slender purses. Berle, sine, was right. Certain Parisians could feed themselves quite well, but an eonditlon of paying. Here are name of the prices on the menu: One franc 75 for a pat of butter; 4 francs for a portion of horse meat; 7 francs for a veal cutlet; 4 francs 50 for two stuffed eggs; 10 francs for a quarter of a chicken. One needed to be rich even to touch tbese food Inventions that Made the success of certain restau- rants.

Mothers as a rule spend so much time in looking after their children and in household work that they overtook Ib' absolute necessity for that rest and relaxa- tion upon which thxir health depends. The consequence is that soon they find their health broken down. The daily humdrum ofthoutehold car's quickly thins the blood and weakens the nerves. Then follow headaches. pains in the side and hack, swollen limbs palpitation, a con- stantly tired feeling. and often an inclina- tion to fretfulness. These symptoms are the sign of poor blood. and are the inevit- able;penalty of overwork and _overanxiety in the care of children and the affairs of the household. Whenever a mother find,' her health failing and household duties' becoming more than she can comfortably manage. whenever extra demands are made upon her stleogtF, she should adopt the safe and simple expedient of enriching her Mood with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills are especially valuable to the nursing mother and the woman worn out with household cares. They renew her blood supply, strengthen her tired limbs. and drive away the headache, and hack - aches that have made her so miserable.
