The Exeter Advocate, 1915-7-29, Page 7'SUMMER COMPLAINTS I KILL LITTLE ONES At the first sign of illness during 'the hot weather give the little ones Baby's Own Tablets, or in a few hours he may be beyond cure. These Tablets' will prevent summer com Taints if given occasionally to the well child and will .promptly cure these troubles if they come on sud- denly. Baby's Own Tablets should always be kept in every home where there are young children. There is no other medicine as good and the. Mother has the guarantee of a gov- ernment analyst that they are abso- lutely safe. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a bon from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. GERMANY AFTER THE WAR. .She Will Find Herself Hopeles Crippled. y When the European war closes Ger.- alany■ will find it necessary to resume relations with other countries, says the New York Journal of Commerce. No nation in this age can maintain an '.ndependent economic system; and Germany least of all nations has. ;ought to do so. When she resumes trade relations her danger will be that with current means at providing 'or the restoration of usual business relationships upon the necessary Scale, she will find herself hopelessly :rippled. She cannot look with sue - less to her past sources of supply in London and Paris, and she Is likely `o find relatively little aid available hi the neutral countries. Germany ,ow depends, practically entirely, upon her own internal resources, both of :urrent manufactures and of capital. Outsiders cannot determine exactly how rapidly she is trenching upon either, and residents of the country, as already noted, are deprived of the usual standards of comparison. Her leaders, under these conditions, are likely to come to the end of her strength without much warning, and unexpectedly, both so far as their own people and the outside world are con- cerned. When the German nation does thus reach the limit of its en- durance for the present, recovery is likely to be much slower and more difficult than in the case of other countries. The "economic laws," which are said by some to have been successfully overridden by German or- ganization and combination, have a way of reasserting themselves. Ger- man conditions after the war are like- ly to furnish a striking illustration of the way in which this process makes 'tself effective. tLEMENCEAU'S DINNER PARTY. Told the Guests That It Had Been a Joke on Them All. The distinguished French politician, 11x. Clemenceau, is known as one of the most determined men in France, and nothing ever puts him out or ruf- fles his temper. When he was Prime Minister he very neatly squashed a practical joke that some anonymous person wished to play upon him. This would-be wit sent out a large number of invitations to people all over Paris to a big dinner at M. Cleznenceau's house. A few days later M. Clemen- ceau was surprised to receive letters, from absolute strangers accepting his "kind invitation to dinner," and thanking him most cordially. Instead of writing to these people to tell them that there had been some mistake, M. Clemenceau at once, realized that someone had been playing a -trick on him, and he gave orders, for a dinner on the date in question, and it was duly held. Everything was done on the moat lavish Seale, and throughout the meal M. Clemenceau'e nunknown and wholly undistinguished guests were simply bursting with pride to think that they had been invited to .the table of such a famous Alan. But M. Clemenceau had a little surprise for them which he kept until the last course had been eaten. He then rose gravely and told his astonished guests that their presence there was really due to a choice little joke which had been perpetuated by some per - Ion unknown. After that the disap- pointed guests hastenedto depart as quickly as they could " CHANGE THE VIBRATION It Makes for Health. A man. tried leaving off meat, po tatoes, coffee, etc., and adopted a breakfast of fruit, Grape -Nuts with. cream, some crisp toast and 'a cup of Postum. His.. health 'began to ,improve •-at ince for the reason that a meat eater will reach -a place once in a 'while where his system seems to become clogged and the 'machinery doesn't work .smoothly. A change hof this kind puts aside food that is slow to digest and takes up food and drink of the highest value, already partly digested and capable of being quickly changed into good, rich blood and strong tissue. A most valuable feature of Grape - Nuts is the natural mineral elements (phosphate of potash, etc.,) grown in the grains from which it is made. These "elements are absolutely ne- cessary for the well-balanced re- building of body, brain and nerves. A few days' use of Grape -Nuts will showone a way to physical and mental strength well worth the trial: Look in pkgs. for the ' little book, "The Road to' Wellville" "There's a Reason." rit s. ca muam r.-u�ruAN RUtir* or nAN1QUS eft Rent NEAR WARSAW DESTROYED, BY ARTtLLER4 4 This picture shows the famous Roman Catholic Church of Rokitno, in the government of Warsaw, Rus- sian Poland, 'which was destroyed in the battle between the Germans and Russians during the week of Oct. 12-19, 1914. The Germans first shelIed it, and then capturing the hill on which it is located, mounted guns in. the partially ruined towers. The Russians in turn shelled the church, completing the wreck. The foundation of this church was laid in 1631, architects from Greece and artisans from Italy being brought to Poland to superintend the construction, It was not completed until 1890. It contains a thauanaturgic figure of the Vir- gin, which was not destroyed during the bombardment, and the peasants for miles about are now making pilgrimages to the ruins to gaze upon the "Miracle"of the Sacred Shrine." CIVILIANS WITH ARMIES. .Doctors, Nurses, Motorists, Mechan- ics, Interpreters, Telegraphers, etc. That the British Expeditionary Force has attached to it almost enough civilians to make quite a re- spectable army in itself may surprise people who remember the attitude of the War Office towards newspaper correspondents and other non-comba- tants. It is a fact, however, that the services of a large number of civi- lians are utilized in various capaci- ties at the front. The object in em- ploying them is to avoid diminishing the fighting capacity of the troops engaged, the theory adopted being that a soldier should only be employ- ed as a soldier, and that all other ne- cessary 'work should be left to eivi- Bans. This civilian force, however, con- sists mostly of French, although there area certain number of British civil-, inns doing duty with the British Army in France just now. - The ma- jority of these are members of the Royal Automobile Club, who are driv- ing the cars which they have gener- ously placed at the disposal of the staff. Other British civilians accom- panying the forces are the doctors, surgeons, and nurses who are assist- ing military medical officers in the base hospitals. There are a considerable number of other posts for which civilians are eligible. Among them may be meii- tioned the handling• and despatching of stores, the loading and unloading of trains, the driving of baggage - wagons, and the- repair.. of roads, etc. The other capacities in which civilians are employed just now with the limy at the front include those of traders, culers, artificers, mechanics, guides, chauffeurs, interpreters,. and so on; while a proportion also find' work in the postal, telegraph, remount, and sanitary departments, 'and so forth. The sanitary service of an army in the field is a very important one, and upon it in a great measure depend the health and comfort of the troops engaged. The personnel of such a de- partment employs a considerable num- ber of civilians. These are divided into separate squads, each underthe control of a medical officer, and their work deals with the provision of fresh water and the destruction of refuse. The civilian element attached to the troops in the field just now also in- cludes a considerable number of French. Boy Scouts. They act 'as. messengers, guides, orderlies, and so on. d' Trust in Joffre. Joffre, ahearty, hale, most' whole- somely sane man, well around the cor- ner of the sixties, imitates none of the traditional habits of great com- manders. He does not dictate three or four telegrams and letters at once. He takes more than three hours a day sleep. He does not eat in a state of trance. Quite the contrary. He is a good feeder and a good sleeper. Re- gular meals and seven straight hours of sleep from nine at night until four in the morning are his routine. But in all the remaining 17 hours of the 24 the entire French army knows that "the old man" is awake. As to the final result, not the re- motest shadow of doubt for a moment crosses his mind.. He is as certain of victory as he is of his existence., To every man in the French•army;he has imparted precisely this same confi- dence. And as it is in the ;army, so it is in the entire nation. ', "General Joffre knows we are going to win,. therefore we know we are going to win." This is the beginning and the end of the French, war creed.. $1,000 REWARD FOR A OA$B OF IROURABLB CON- STIPATION To any person who cannot be cured of Constipation by Dr. Hamilton's Pills, the above reward will be paid.

A hundred.years hence women in Ala of Italy will still threaten un- ruly children with the "curse of Gal - van." Go into Ala to -day and ask any inhabitant of the houses that so glad- ly fly the tricolor what they know of Prospero Galvan, and you will see their faces blanch with hatred, if no longer with terror; because there Is still with them, and will be so long as they and their children's children inhabit Ala, the spectre of the sworn torturer of Ala, the Trentino rene- gade, the sergeant of gendarmes, and the infamous instrument of Francis Joseph. The square,.brutal face;- the nar- row grey eyes, cold, piercing, and pitiless; the shaven head and the massive jaw, with its huge mandibles; the low forehead of the typical crim- inal, and the big pointed moustachios, will for many years be the nightmare of the people. of the. Val Lagarina. For this Galvan was a torturer by profession and instinct. To him.was entrusted the task of searching out those inhabitants of the district whose sympathies were with Italy: There is not a house which he has not robbed under pm- tence of. ' searching for fugitives; there is not a family he has not blackmailed under threat of denounc- ing father or son or brother as "Italo- phil." He "made friends" of some families under pretence of being secretly on the Italian side ' (for he comes of a goal Italian family), then haled the male members; secretly and at night before a "commission of inquiry" at the headquarters of the gendarmery, and there flogged - them , to try and extract from them the names of " Italophils. An ;army of ONTARIO DAIRY PRODUCTS. p A model dairy farm for the ur- poses of demonstrating rotation and the value of alfalfa and corn for en- silage will be one of the features of the Ontario Government dairy ex- hibit at the National Exhibition, To- ronto. Mr. Geo. A. Putnam plans to locate the model farm in the south- west wing of the building and nearby will be another innovation, an exhibit showing the value of concentrated foods, He expects to have an unusually large and representative showing of Ontario dairy products and intends making the exhibit as practical and instructive as possible. In this work he will have the assistance of several Government officials, who will be en- gaged in making a number of demon- strations, including the sediment test, cow testing, care and testing of 'milk and cream. The Niagara. Fall of milk will again be a feature, the flow showing the production of milk in the Province, and the proportions into 'which the total is divided for cheese and but- ter-making, utter-making, city consumption, etc. It has again been decided to dis- tribute samples of Cheddar cheese and to demonstrate in a practical way the relative food value of dairy pro- ducts. The great success of the Quebec contingent in the butter section a year ago has stimulated the spirit of emulation among the people of the adjoining province and this year there has been a large increase in the num- ber of requests for entry forms from the dairy schools all over Quebec. Minard'a Liniment Cures Grarget in Cows The Kaiser's Sneer.. The strained relations between the Queen of Italy . and the Kaiserin no doubt had something to do with the hastening of Italy into the war. Vic- toria Emmanuel's consort has never forgotten the sneer of the German Empress when she married Italy's King. The Kaiserin had set her heart upon securing him for one of her sisters, but Victor Emmanuel would have nothing to do with any German princess and married Prin- cess Helene of. Montenegro, to the Kaiserin's intense chargin. On the betrothal being announced, the Kaiser made one of his refined jokes to the effect that the Princess Helene's grandmother was but a street vagabond peddling chestnuts. The sneer delighted the Empress, who repeated it "everywhere.. In due time it reached the ears of the future Queen of Italy, and ever since the relations between the two courts,• never very cordial, have been more or less strained. Heroes have to wade through a spies was in his service, and_ he ,job lot of trouble to get a reputes created an. atmosphere of hatred, ter_tion, ror, and persecution.

Remonstrated With. A minister of a rural parish in Scotland found one of his flock shoot- ing a hare on the Sabbath, and re- monst-'ated with him. "Macpherson, do you know what a work of neces- sity is?" "I do," replied: Macpher- son. "Wee`_, do you think shooting a hare on Sunday a work of necessity ?" "It is that," said the parishioner. "How do you make that out?" "Well, ye see, meenister, it !nicht nae be oat on Monday." ED. 6. ISSUE 31—'.15. Harvesting the Crop. According to: C. P. R, advices there is likely to be a shortage of farm la- bor in the west in the fall. There are already over 100,000 of our Can- adian young men under arias,, and. the war may demand more. Immi- gration is, of course, at a standstill. It will be impossible to get men from the east, where men are scarce, and in an a case the west does riot want men who, after the harvest, would be a burden on the people, The question is, where will the men come from? The press is advising the farmers to hire men now and to hire them for a year in advance, There is, indeed, talk of a famine of un- skilled labor in the fall. Many thou- sands of men, not merely from Can- ada, but the States, have left for Europe, since the war started. Where will the men come from, and particu- larly in view of the added acreage, which will mean more labor, as there is fully 30 per cent. of increase under cultivation? The States expects the largest crop in its history; and ex- perts in the west insist that our crop,! if the favorable conditions are main tamed. will be the largest that we have produced, It is now the ques- tion of labor that is agitating the minds of the farmers. Several towns' and municipalities have suspended their programme of public work in order that .all the laborers possible should be on the land for the harvest.

This is the first time in British history that such a force has been assembled. There have always been Irish troops in the British army, and sometimes they have even been inthe majority, but hitherto the largest purely Irish unit has been theregiment. This is the first time that an entire division of Irish troops has been made up. The "Irish Division," as it is techni- cally known, received its first train- ing on the soil of its native isle, and has only recently been brought to England, Soon after its arrival it was inspected by the King and Lord Kitehener, and the latter set his seal of approval by declaring it "one of the finest divisions in the new army," The Substitute for Vodka. Elimination of vodka from Russia has evidently started that immense nation tea -drinking. In February last the New York "Journal of Com- merce" stated that the quotations were 83c to 10c a pound higher than they were a year previously, and that the Russians were buying all the India-Ceylons available. The price has been advancing ever since. Arithmetically Described. Jenks—So you and the Brayton girl are one?

The mistress noticed that her new maid seemed unfamiliar with finger -bowls, so she asked: "Did they use finger -bowls at the last, place you worked?". "No, mum," answered Bridget, "they gen- erally washed themselves before they came to the table, mum." The Canary Islands are the tops of a great submarine mountain range.
