WEAK DIGESTION Protests Against Using Skimpy Like Nearly Every Trouble .&dict= lA 1anklud Indigestion is Due to Poor Blood Almost • everybody experiences tunes when the organs of digestion show painful signs of weakness. Some slight disturbance of the health starts the trouble•; then the patient takes a dislike to food, and dull heavy pains in the abdomen give warning that the stomach is un- able to do its proper work. • Some- times a false craving for food arises; if this is satisfied the result is addi- tional torture—flatulence, a drowsy depression, sick headache and nau- sea .are common signs of indiges- tion. The foolish practice of taking drastic, weakening purgatives at such times should be avoided. Indi- gestion arises:•from stomach weak- ness, and the only effectual method of curing the trouble is to strength- en the feeble organs of digestion by supplying them with richer, purer blood. This is the true tunic treat- ment, by which natural method Dr. Williams' Pink Pills aehieve great results. These pills make the rich, red blond needed to strengthen the stomach, thus imparting a healthy appetite and curing indigestion and anter stomach disorders. Iilr. Thos. Johnson, I'einford, N.S., says: "For rive years I Wits a great suf- ferer from indigestion, which wreck- ed sue• physically. I suffered so much that for days at a time I could not aftend to my business. I had smothering spells so bad at times that I was afraid to lie down. I hectored and tried many medicines hut with no benefit. I saw Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills advertised to cure the trouble and decided to try them. I had not been taking them long before I found that I had at last hit upon the right medicine. The improvement in my health was constant, and after I had used ten tar twelve boxes I could eat and di- st all hinds of food, and I felt physically better than I bad done !or years. I shall never cease to plt'tiee lar. Williams' Pink Pills for' they preyed a real blessing to nae.

The t ri,. p ndent of the London Express writes as follows from the Hague, Haallail<l: >espite all tin' glowing ,accounts emanating from Berlin with regard to the "restoration of normal con- ditions," iii Belgiurlls, :I am able to Mate on the positive tetimuny of prominent men who have made perilous juurneye et, this town from Erussels and Liege that. German terrorism is still rampant. One of thine men, who since the end of August has made throe jour- ney's from Brussels to London to visit his wife and children, was sum- marily ah e.,ted on his last return to the Belgian capital and accused of being aspy. The half of a return ticket from Fluehing to Folk tone. was fund in This pocket, and on this• . evidence be was east into prison and. kept on a. diet of thin soup and black bread. When he asked the nature of the charge against him he was told that he was a"dog of an Englishman in the employ of the Intelligence Ser- vice.''' He furnished his accusers -kith the means of proving that he was a Belgian, but be was kept in prison 'for 26 days. Last week he was told he was free but before the Germans released him they confiscated 'a'1+1 his money and papers. Mine is n•ot,,a solitary experience, he told me. The whole of Brussels is a scene of German terrorism. The city• is full of spies, who try entrap the unwary because they -are paid for every arrest they effect. A common trick is t,o get one of their paid accomplices in the guise of a newspaper seller to, offer for -sale one of the papers authorized by the German Governor. , Inside it is hidden a French or English paper, • and the. unsuspect- ing purchaser is•promptly arrested, and either taken to prison'or•, made to pay an exorbitant fine. Infamous tricks of this character occur about every day, but the slightest pretext is sufficient to justify the. ;arrest of any •one, how- - ever .innocent and ,harmless.' BABY'S OWN . TABLETS THE HOME ' DOCTOR No home where there aro little 'ones should be without abox of Baby's Own Tablete.,' They cure all the minor ills of bia..byhood and their prompt use when baby is sol- ing will save the mother many anx- ious moments and baby much • pain. 7-Ooncerning them Mrs.. Paul Nemodh, ►I'ugaske, Sask., writes "We con- fider Baby's Own Tablets as good (as a doctor in the house, and every 'aeonour little one is ,ailing they soon act him right again," The Tablets are sold by meclicm'e dealers ;,or by mail at 25 cents a box from lithe Dr, Williams' Medicine Co,, Brockville, .Out, Kilts of Khaki. Anyone acquainted with the sea- timental regard which Scottish peo- ple have for centuries had for the tartan kilt—who realizes that it has been the distinctive dress of some of the most famous regiments in the British Army, and who has noticed the strong feeling which exists throughout the Scottish race that the national costume should always be worn by anybody who .le proud of the traditions of his country, will understand the feeling of indigna- tion which has been aroused by the statement that in future Highland regiments are to wear a khaki kilt instead of the familiar tartan. What is, worse still, the khaki kilt, ' ac- cording to the latest order, is to be composed of two yards less ma- terial than is at present used.. "This will make our soldiers look ridiculous," says one authority. "The army kilt, as we have hitherto known it, has offended all true low - ars of the Scottish national dress, for it consisted of but five yards of cloth, badly pleated, whereas it is impossible eo make a proper kilt with lees than seven or eight yards." No wonder the "heather is on fire," and protests are being made by influential people to the War Of- fiee against the introduction of the three yards' "hobble kilt." This is not the first occasion, how- ever, that an attempt has been made to interfere with the Scottish national dress, From 1746 to 17841 the wearing of the tartan was pro- hibited by law, and a series of op- pressive measures were introduced providing heavy penalties for all who either carried arms or wore the kilt. But in 1782. the harsh meas- uresOwer'e repealed, and the wear- ing of the tartan became general all over Scotland. That the interference with the tartan kilt will be strongly resented by Highland regiments is very evi- dent from the remarks made ,by a number of influential Scotsmen. It is pointed out to those who argue that the brilliant tartan makes our Highland soldiers a conspicuous target for the enemy, that the khaki apron or covering which they wear when going to the front is sufficient protection. The Highlanders are very proud of their distinctive dress and its historical associations. They are as proud of the kilt as they are of their feather bonnet, which, by the way, the War Office endeavored to abolish thirty years ago. But the proposal aroused such a storm of indignation that the military autho- rities ultimately decided to leave the Highland bonnet alone. The origin of the white gaiters worn by the Highland regiment also provides an interesting story, for they were worn in memory of some of the trials which they underwent in the Peninsular war. It was dur- ing the retreat of the forces under Sir John Moore 'at Coruna that the soldiers suffered great hard. ships, their boots becoming worn owing to the reeky nature, of the ground on the Portuguese coast. The Highlanders, therefore, took the shirts from their backs, tore them into strips, and bound them round their feet for protection, and this did not fail to attract consider- able notice at home, a's the white spats or gaiters were instituted in memory of these trying times. M BARGE HOSPITALS. The French Are Using Flat -Bottom- ed River Craft. The casualties of the great Euro- pean war have been staggering, not. only because the armies are so much larger than armies ever were be- fore, but because the fighting has been continrious on bothlines for nearly six months. Complete offi- cial figures are lacking, but it is safe to say that more than six times that number have been wounded or put in need of hospital treatment. •The various countries have been hard pressed to supply the facilities for taking care of .so many patients. Germany in this as in --other ways was better prepared for War than any of the other nations, and it is said that there are hospitals of eon- siderable size in many of the small towns near the frontier, the exis- tence of which in time of peace was inexplicable. Now that war is go-. ing on, however, there is plenty of use for all of them, and for many improvised hospitals, too. The French !have- had recourse to all kinds of expedients; great ho= tels, magnificent chateaux, and handsome city residences" have all. been offered by their owners and accepted by the government for use as ihospitals. One of the most ouri- ens .and ingenious arrangements is the use of the great fiat-bottoaned river barges, in .which so much of the freight traffic- olf, the Seises be- tween Paris and Havre usually goes. Most of these craft would have to be idle during the war ; se the government has taken posses- sion of them, tied them tip in r, auks to. the quays along the river front of .Paris, and turned them -into hos-' pitals. Twenty or thirty ibeds can be put in each barge, and they have proved sty comfortable :and useful palaces for• the treatment of. •all ex, cept:'the Most serious- surgical oases. lie Says Ile Told His Neighbors AND THEY TOLD HIM TO TRY DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS.

"For two years," Mr. Rudy motes, "I suffered with a terrible pain in the small of my back and shoulders.

"Hearing Dodd's Kidney Pills well spoken of by my neighbors, I decided to try them. To my sur- prise and relief one box cured me completely."

WASTE OF WAR, Prominent Banker Predicts Dark Days After Present Conflict. The Hon. Rupert Beekett, an eminent Yorkshire banker, gives warning that the war will put back the wealth of the world something like a hundred years. The cost of the South African War was £250,- 000,000, of which it was calculated £150,000,000 had gone for the pur- pose of destruction. Money so ex- pended was not reproductive, and for eight or nine years after the South African War there was de- preciation in all securities. If that was the case in Britain after such a comparatively small war, how much more must they anticipate a seri- ous condition of affairs after the general conflagration in which we are at present engaged. At the downfall of Napoleon the National Debt was something like £150,000.000, higher than it was to- day. But the population then was not nearly as great as now. There were fewer mouths to feed, and mo- ney went much further. Within a comparatively short time of Water- loo the industrial inventions of the early Victorian era—steam. engines and the like—created wealth at a, rate the world had not previously known. Moreover, the population did not show a big increase until after the wealth was made. To -day Britain had an enormous popula- tion, which had to be fed, housed and clothed. Altogether one could. not look forward to anything but dark days for some time even after the conclusion of peace. .11 MAY BE TEA or COFFEE That Causes all the Trouble. When the house is afire, it's about the same as when disease begins to show, it's no time to talk but time to act --delay is dangerous—remove the cause of the trouble ,at once. "For a number of years," wrote a Western lady, "I felt sure that coffee was hurting me, and yet I was so fend of it, I could not give it up. At last I got so bad that I made up my mind I must either quit the use of coffee or die. (Tea is just as injurious as coffee because it, too, contains the health - destroying drug, caffeine.) "Everything I ate distressed me, and I suffered severely most of the time with palpitation of the heart. I frequently woke up in the night with "the feeling that I was almost gone --nay heart seemed so smother- ed • and weak in its action. My breath grew short and the least ex- ertion set me panting. I slept but little and • suffered from rheuma- tism. • "Two years ago I stopped using the coffee and began to use Postum and from the very first I began to improve. It worked a miracle 1 Now I can eat • anything and digest it without trouble. I sleep like a baby, and my heart beats strong and regularly. My breathing has become steady and normal, and my rheumatism has left 'me. • "I feel like another person, and it is all due to quitting coffee and using Postum, for I haven't need any medicine and none would ,have done any 'good as long as I kept drugging with coffee."

BRITAIN IS NOT WAR MAD. Och, Sure and Ye Won't. A famous hospital surgeon was imparting some clinical instruction to half a dozen students who ac- companied him on his rounds. Pausing beside the bed of an Irish- man who was a doubtful case, . he said, "Now, gentlemen, do you think this is or is it not a case for operation ?" One by one the stu- dents made their diagnosis, and all of them came to the conclusion it was not. "Well gentlemen,. you are .all wrong," said the surgeon, "and I will operate to -morrow." "Ooh,. sure and ye won't," exclaim- ed Paddy as he rose from his bed, "Six tier wan is a, good majority. Nurse, give me my clothes, I'm go- ing home:" The Retort Courteous. "Ha, ha," sneered the lawyer in court, "you doctors are all alike. Your operations are always success- ful, but your patients die." "Sometimes that happens," said the doctor calmly, "but we doctors have nothing on you lawyers. You win great victories for your clients, but you get all the money." e+ A Representative Englishman's 1 DeI1 Nearly f1IIePoint of View. Benjamin Harris, recording clerk in the New York County Clerk's office, received from his uncle, Pro- fessor rofessor. I. H. Hirsch, lecturer 'ten phy- sics and nmtheniaties in Icings Col- lege, London, a letter giving the re- presntative Englishman's point of view and attitude toward ,the Ger- mans after six months of war. The letter, dated at Hillel House, Cam- bridge, England, says in part: You ask me to give my impression of present conditions. To my mind the most striking feature of the situation is still the general ab- sence of vindictiveness or even con- tempt for the German people. Eng- lishmen are joining the colors by the hundred thousand, but not in the "jingo" spirit. You will per- haps remember the type o£ man one meets so frequently in Lancashire and Yorkshire—the old Puritan type—the man who goes to his work with the sense of duty dominant, doing his work thoroughly, not ne- cessarily because he likes it, but be- cause the job is to be done. But few or none like the job, but the job is there to be done. It appears to be beyond the men- tal powers of a. German to under- stand this. To him, apparently, war is a part of his religion or it is nothing. He cannot understand that a nation should go to war be- cause it is part of its religion to destroy the worshippers of Afars, the war god. It is fortunate for Germany that England is not war mad, for if ever the fighting blood of the country were really roused., if Englishmen were ever really strick- en with the lust for German blood, then God help the Germans. Per- sonally, I am praying that the, Ger- mans will have sense enough not to repeat such escapades as the at- tack on Scarborough. Behind all this grim struggle Englishmen have not lost the feel- ing that German flesh and blood are still human, and, therefore, they do not wish to inflict more suffering on German women and children than is necessary. For years the Ger- mans have been mistaking English patience for weakness and deca- dence. Now they must be compel- led to listen, and we believe that they will see their proper place is by our side and not in opposition to us. If you hear that England is de- termined to crush Germany Beyond redemption treat the report with contempt. We cannot crush seven- ty millions of people except at an enormous cost, and it would not pay nor would it pay us to divide Ger- many into weak and small States. The enemy is not Germany, but autocracy. Professor Hirsch says that the greatest 'crime Germany has com- mitted is that of wilfully throwing away the fruits of its own toil for fifty years. "I hope," said one wife to an- other, "that you never nag your husband." "Only when he is beat- ing the rugs," isaid the second one.
