There is the most intimate relat between the condition of the bl and the activity of the stomach. T blood depends upon the stomach a large part of its nourishment; wh every act of digestion, from the ti the food enters the stomach and is simulated by the blood needs plenty pure well -oxidized blood. The in cies, glands and nerves of the stoma work only according to the quality the blood. The most common cause ofnindig tion is lack of rich, red blood.—N only does impure blood weaken t muscles of the stomach but it lesse the product of the glands of the i testines Nand stomach, which furni the digestive fluids. Nothing w more promptly cure indigestion th plenty of pure blood. Dr. William Pink Pine, are the safest and most ce tain blood -builder. A thorough tri of these pills gives a hearty appetit perfect digestion, strength and healt He -re is proof of the value* of the pills in cases of indigestion. Mr. Da lel Dexter, Liverpool, N.S., says: 'For several years I was a great su ferer froni indigestion. I was grea y troubled with gas on the stoma which caused disagreeable sensation I was also frequently troubled wi nausea and vomiting, which were vea listressing. As a result of my trouh my appetite almost completely faile and what I did eat caused me consta pain. I was continually doctoring bu id not get any benefit, and had abot made up my mind that 1 would suffe or life. One day a friend asked m why I did not try Dr; Williams' Pin ills, and while'I had not much ho f a cure I decided to do so. I ha nly taken a few boxes, however, whe found they were helping me. Ver gladly then I continued the use of th ills, and in less than three 'months vas as well as ever I had been, ablet at a hearty meal, and tofeel that lif as again worth living. I had als een troubled from time to time wit ttaeks of rheumatism, and the use o he pills cured this as well as the in igestion. It is now over a year sine took the pills, and in that time ave had no return of the trouble."

The phrase "wait and • see" has bothered the French newspaper cor- respondgnts in London lately, says the Manchestea Guardian. No account 1 the crisis, of course, would have been complete without it, yet only one correspondent, M. Condurier of The Journal de Geneve, has attempted to translate it. His version is "Attendez, et vows verrez ce qui arrivera." Thir- teen syllables against three! It is a curious fact, always brought out, for instance, by the polyglot versions of the resolutions- of international so- eieties, that English is- the jersest language in Europe. The English version on such occasions is always much shorter than the Frencb or Ital- ian. At the beginning of the war, when all cables had to. be in English or French, the Italian and Russian correspondents in London chose Eng- lish, and found their cabling expenseS much reduced.„, • • Only One Obstaacle.

NVISPAPDHS YOP1 SALM ing that fresh ones may be welcomed In "Forty Years of 'Spy,' Mr. Lesil Ward, the well-known London artist tells a goad story about Lord Crewe Lord Crewe's extraordinary absent mindedness was proverbial, and, sine he was not aware of his weakness, other people often took advantage of it. He used to dine at the Athenaeum Club, usually at the same table. An- other member came rushing in one day to obtain a place for dinner for himself. Ali be' ,g engaged, the waiter was obliged to refuse the late comer, when the flurried member pointed to an extra seat. "Oh. sir," said the waiter with apologetic deference, "that's Lord Crewe's." "Never mind," said the urgent would-be diner. "Tell him when he comes—that he's dined!" It is to be supposed that the man found a way to make the deception worth while, for when Lord Crewe ar- rived the -waiter met him with surprise premier honor of the world gime to Lour "bad boys," but thirty such boys have earned the Distinguished conduct Nfedal, and many more have been men, tiOned in despatches for their heroic conduct. Almost invariably these lads come from the lower ranks of society, yet some dozen reformatory boys are in the ranks of commissioned officers, their quality and fitness having been shown in the day of battle. But a great number have gained a higher honor still --not fewer than a thousand of them. They have had the deathless honor of dying for their country. So here's to Britain's- "bad boys"! May many of them survive to be a credit to their country, and to prove that a bit of -waywardness often goes with pluck, and that a bit of sympathy and understanding 'would save many,7a Ltd from the reformatory, and, later, the prison cell.
