The Wingham Advance, 1916-11-02, Page 3MADE IN CANADA" DOMINION RAINCOATS Best for Quality, Style and Value. Guaranteed For AR Climates. ASK YOUR DEALER FAN OR A FUTURE? (Prairie Farm and Home.) From east to west, Canada is full of young draughters whose parents for generations back have been drawn from the prize-winning scions of stock of the best blood. Yea if we follow the life history of this progeny we find that it fails to develop the qual- ity a the progenitors -nor in any small percentage of . cases either. Why is this? Surelyit cannot be in every case due to a faiiure to transmit those special qualities for one genera- tion more. Rather we imagine that the fault lies in the treatment which the youngsters receive after they are born. The care of the growing colt luis been a favorite subject for writers in agricultural papers and over and over again we read the same old room- raendations, old rules of thumb set forth with an assurance that one might suppose it unsafe to in anywise question the statements. Too many otherwise first class stockmen inherit, as ti were, tlaese rules and follow them as a matter of course. Gener- ally they can manage to keep the colt "thrifty." A colt that is thrifty will also be "grovvthy." But whether the thrifty will grow into a big coarse slob, chunky enough as to body, but com- mon in its underpinning, inferior as to feet, and indifferent in its way' of handling both of whether it will be developed into a big, upstanding, vir- ile horse, with symmetry, soundness and strength in its underpinning and efficiency in power depends fully as muck neon the skill and watchfulness of its caretaker as it does unon its an- cestral heritage of desirable horse quality. This may appear broad statement, but it is one based upcin considerable experience and careful observation of facts -facts indeed which are visible everywhere. At any of the fairs, which has just been stated may be observed by any who look. • In the Bret place, it will be seen that the dams are usually fat, If they are not they are thenainusual- ly good milkers and the colts are as hog fat as the owner can. well get them forward. Many of them will be seen to be so loanet with adipose tissue that their naturally slender forms hale taken on the solid look of a lot of miniature but finished draugh- ters. From the point of view of the exhibitor this is an essentail element; generally the fattest gets the first place, for we still have a number of horse judges who retain the theory that we must have more and more size En the load -puller, Under their in- spection the biggest colt, if he should also be the fattest, is pretty sure of a the red ribbon. Sometimes a good judge of horses, gifted with a 'little bit of real horse onset will place the youngster at the rear where he be- longs and tell the disapecented•owner that he is spoiling his colt, and that It will disappoint him later. . . There are many physiological rea- sons for this. To begin with, colts, esPecially those bred with qualities of nerve, blood and bone strongly de- veloped, da- net take maturallystaathe accumulation of superfluous tat at the time of life when they are making their most rapid growth, When they do so, it is certain evidence that they aro being greatly over-nourIshed.

When the ehadow of poor health follows your life; when hope begins to fade and friends look serious then Is the time you should remember that thousands nest as hopeless have been cured and restored to the sunshine of health by the use of Dr. Wiliams' Pink Pills. These pills actually make new, rich blood which brings a glow of health to anaemic cheeks; cures indi- gestion; headaches and backaches, drives out the stinging pains of rheu- matism and' neuralgia, strengthens the nerves and relieves as no other medicine can do the aches and pains from which womenfolk alone suffer. In any emergency of poor health give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial and they will not disappoint you. Here is a case that will bring hope to many a weary sufferer. Mrs. E. C. Taylor, Ascot avenue, Toronto, says: "A few years ago I was so run down with anaemia that I 'could scarcely walk about the house, and was not able to leave it. I had no color; my appetite was poor and I was censtant- ly troubled with headaches, dizzy spells and general disinclination. to move about or do anything. I tried many medicines, but Irene of them helped me, and MY friends thought I was in a deeline. One day a friend who was in to ees me aseted if I had tried Dr. Williams' Fink Pill's. had heard. of this medicine often,, but $dnot used it, determbaed to give it a trial. I certainly got 0, pleasant surprise, for after using two boxes' I Could feel an improvement in my con- dition. Contintring the use of these pills I began to regain my health, the headaches and dizzy spells were dis- appearing, and I began to gain in weight. People began enquiring what I was taking and I was not slow to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills the cre- dit. I took the pills for less than two months, and completely regained my old time health and strength. I hope my experience may convince some doubting person as to the great merit of Dr. Williams Pink Pills as I cer- tainly have cause to be a firm champ- ion of them." 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. • 4)r 4-44-•-•44-.4-04-4-4 4 -0 -0 -0 -0 -0 -40+++* -•-4 italy.'!is War Declaration The sudden action of Roumania has robbed 'the Italian declaration of war 'upon Germany of half its value in the eyes of the world. It was uot an "empty gesture," as Berlin toq promptly asserted. Rather it was but the prelude to something so vastly more absorbing that tne prelude has been lost sight of entirely, And yet the Italian action has a valae a its own, outside the military field, where it le tante, as Berlin says, an empty, thing', because it merely gives a legal form to a condition long existing, It is, interesting to recall tb,e reg. tiara of Roumania to Mlle The most 'deeply rooted sentiment in the Rou- manian mind is that their race is Lat- ine Rotrian, as their name, signifies. Petrie and Rome have bon the eel- tural sources of Bucharest, despite the tIoheneollern soverelge. Indeed, it is to Napeleop. HI.. that Roumania, like Italy, owes its liberetion and Unity In no small measure. The voice of Rome, then, has had an immediate echo, and we can see what a powerful weapon in German hands the failure of Italy to make her gesture Was in the critical flays of last atirilmer. lent heeler; recognized tbe relation be- tween Italian and Roumania i notion, it temeins to examine the case which is purely Itellan. The reasons for Italy's presvieem failure to deelare war- upon Germany have remained obscure. They have provoked much bitter comment in Paris, London and Petrograd, and they have never been satisfactorily ex- plained in Itotee. The usual explana- tion has been that German control of Italian finance had been so complete and Italian funds so generally divert. ed to Berlin that nothing short of a finaecial colletee would frilloev hostili- ties, between Renee and Berlin. But this has hardly seemed convincing. There have also been numerous fah. tastistories; one of the most famil- iar wag the assertion that a secret ar. tide in the Triple Alliance bound Aus- tria and Clermany to import the Howse of Savoy ageing an 'Memel revolution.

Thirty-five years have passed since Bismark pushed France into Tunis and thus provoked a bitter quartet between the two groat Latin nations. It is a full generation since first Criepi and then his sovereign Went to Berlin and the celebrated bargain Was made by which Italy turned her back upon her ally of Magenta and Solferino and became after a fashion one of the guarantors of German pos- session in Franceei Irredenta, Alsace- Lorraine, the bargaia which for a full 30 years prevented the completion of the work of achieving Italian unity; and Bismark had long been in his grave before France and Italy at last perceived the folly of playing the Ger- man game. lt was not until the Kaiser made his first memorable venture in world af- fairs, that of Tanesier, that the deluge began. Nor was the change speedily corapleted. As recently as the Tripol- iton War, Italian warships seized the French steamships Manouba and Car- thage and a sbarp meestige from Pain - care, then President of the Council and now President of the Republic, unchained new bitterness in Rome. Yet if one were to fix a date it would be fair to saY that the German gesture at Tangier, the eruption of the Kaiser into the Mediterranean 'and the subsequent conference at Algeciras marked the coming ot Italy's deliver- ance from Germany. In that Outer - encs Italy sided not with. Germany, but with France and Britain, From that conference Germany emerged actually defeated, having suffered a loss of prestige, which was the first evideno to the world that German statesmanship had fallen into weaker hands than those of the Iron Chancel- lor. Three years later the Bosnian epi- sode opened a real branch between It- aly ,and her allies, because it 'pevealed the full extent of Austrian purpose in the Balkans. When Italy •attacked Turkey in the Tripolitan war Austria massed troops on the Trentine fron- tier, and .many Germans, notably Bernhagdis advocated a German attack upon Italy. After this moment there was no real belief' in Germany- that Italy would 'stand a with, the Central Powers, And as Italy moved away from the• Triple 'Alliance and Britain moved toward the Franco-Russian al- liance German supremacy en, the Con- tinent, achieved by Bismarck, became involved and doomed. It is ,not fair to blame those who Came after Bismarck solely, or per- haps chiefly, for the present catas- trophe, When in 1856 Bismarck de- clinecl to permit his Italian ally to take' the Trentino, thus leaving the door Mt° tIaly in Austrian hands, he made it impossible for a `permanent settlement between Hapsburg and Savoy, until she had become mass ter in her own house Italy was bound to look forward to a new war, andell. arrangements with Austria were bound to be temporary. In the salne way,- 1y'permittingthe annexation of AlsaceeLorraine, Bismarck made limy- itable another Franco-German war, At bottom the nresent• war is only one mora of thb ward like theof the nineteenth century in which peoples .long separated. by arbitrary frontiers sought unity and liberty. In the beginning IVA have Serbia looking over her own frontiers to the millions ot Serbs under Hapsburg rale, wholly comparable In position and condition to those Italians 'dwelling under the rule ef the same house in the That century.

Germarir ' and Austria, together with their Turkish -ally, have denied the right Of nationality and the free- dom elf choice of peoples. Austria, is the grapt anachronism founded upon the idea of superior race. So far, as lege' rights are concerned, the case between Austria, and Serbia, is a case in which all the law, is with Vienaa. But so it was in ft' d case of Italy, in the case of Germany before 1866. The Triple Alliance Was bound to collapse because it was based on a coadition which Italy could never permanently endure, . The Balkan situation was destined to produce the deluge because tit Serbe were just as sure to seek unity ae were the Italians a eentury before. Frenchmen might imagitte that they had forgotten Alsace-Lor- raine and. Gernianys might regard the question as settled, but all history de- monstrated the fallaey of such con- ceptions.
