BARBAROUS CRUELTY AND IM-
PRISONMENT OF CHILDREN.
People in Territory Occupied by the
Germans Are Treated
Like Slaves.
Little by little the world is begin-
ning to realize the sense in which
Germany understands and uses such
phrases as "humane treatment" and
"humanitarian objects."
It should, therefore, be a matter of
little surprise to us to, learn from the
lips of those who have just escaped
from a two years' thraldom, the bit-
terer because it has had to be endured
in their own homes, that probably
not':ing can exceed the tyranny even
now being exercisedover the unfor-
tunate inhabitanets of Belgium and
Northern France by the German in-
vader, whose "desire to stem the
flood of blood- and to bring the hor-
rors of wax to an end" has recently
been announced 'to an incredulous
world.
Some eighteen months ago evidence
was collected from -.some of these
poor exiles on their return to France,
and their stories of suffering and
misery belong to, the category of tra-
gedies that "lie too deep for tears."
Now, for the past few` weeks, another
sad procession of some 20,000 re:
fugees from Northern.' France: has
been wending its way back "home" in
a series of convoys at the rate of.
about 1,000 persons a clay. Once•more
the warm-hearted and hospitable peo-
ple of Switzerland have given them
of their best: they have housed, fed;
and clothed them., and sentthem on
their way rejoicing.
Terrible Conditions.
Once more neutral ears have been
pained tolisten to grim narratives of
harsh treatment and starvation and
worse, which appear to be inseparable
from German domination in time of
war. Some of these stories are told
by an English correspondent as fol-
lows:
It matters little from which Pro-
vince of invaded France the refugees
are being repatriated, their condition
is practically the same=brokenin
body and mind, but unconquerable in
spirit. Some convoys say that they
have not tasted meat for two years,
others have had it in small quantities
as lately as fifteen months ago; the
most fortunate of all tell us that meat
rations came to an end a fortnight
before their departure. All food is at
famine prices; ' candles cost 12 francs
for a packet of eight; petrol is pro-
hibitive. Yet, in spite of all 'this
physical impoverishment, forced labor
is the rule in town and village alike;

the old men and women up to any age,
and children as young as 13, are com-
pelled to work in factories and fields,
their wages varying from n two to
three francs a day, out of which they
have to pay for their foo. d about 50
per cent. of their total takings.
Driven Like Slaves.
To this rule there is no exception;
one person in every household is al-
lowed to stop at home to perform do-
mestic duties, which include the was,h-
ing of the German soldiers' dirty
linen.
The discipline imposed scarcely
differs from slave -driving in its
palmiest days. At harvest -time work
is obligatory all the week round, Sun-
days and feast clays included; no one
may stop work to go to mass. Two
girls who went to church one Sunday
morning were in prison the same af-
ternoon; a child of 14 in the same vil-
lage got' four days' imprisonment for
not doing a full days' work; a wo-
man who gave an apple to a Belgian
prisoner was condemned to 1.0 days'
imprisonment; another woman's sen-
tence was 42 days with hard labor
for stealing . 20 yards beyond the
boundary limit, and yet another, aged
77, received a fortnight's cells for go-
ing to sec her sick daughter, who liv-
ed a short distance out of bounds.
These. are buta very few cases,
typical of hundreds, which illustrate
the bitter complaints against the be-
havior of the German troops and of
officials in occupation of French
territory.
AN INVITATION
T. SICKNESS
Impure Blood Means a Break -
Down in Your Healtli.
Impure blood is an invitation to
sickness. The blood is at work day
and night 'to maintain the health,
and any lack of strength or purity in
the blood is a weakness in the de-
fense against disease. Anaemia is
the doctor's name for lack of blood.
There may be an actual loss in the
quantity of the blood, or one or
more of its constituents may be lack-
ing,. Its . surest symptom is pallor.
Anaemia is particularly common in
young girls. It is not, however, con-
fined to them alone, for it is this
same lack of blood that prevents full
recovery after la grippe, fevers, ma-
laria and operations. It is also pre-
sent in old age and in persons who
have been under unusual mental or
physical strain. If you are suffer-
ing from this trouble take Dr. Wil-
liam? Pink Pills for Pale People.
They make pure, new blood with
every dose and thin new blood means
health and strength. Thousands
have proved the truth of these state-
merits, among tilem Mrs. John
Hyatt, Metiskow, Alta., who says :--
"About
—"About a year ago I was in a badly
run down condition, my blood was
watery, I was very nervous) slept
badly at night;...suffered. from fre-
quent headaches and found my
housework an ~ almost intolerable
.burden, my appetite was poor, and I
did notseem' to assimilate the food I
took, altogether; my condition'' seem-
ed -serious. As there was no doctor
in our neighborhood I. decided to give
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial, and o
I have: much cause to be thankful c
that I did so, as in a few weeks I
could, feel a great change for the
better. I continued the use of the y
pills for some time longer, and found
a complete cure. I feel better than
I have for years and can therefore
cheerfully recommend Dr. Williams'
Pink Pilia to alt; who are weak and
run down."
You can get these pills from any
dealer in medicine or by mail at 50
cents a box or six boxes for $2.50'

CHILDREN AT WAR FRONT.
They Are Apparently Care.free Amid
MAKING BIG CHAINS.
Method is the Some as That Used in.
ly ' Olden Times.
be In this day of machine manufacture
it- it will perhaps aurprise some to learn
se that the making of big chains is large-
t- ly, if not entirely, confined to methods
b- dependent on hand labor, says the
1- Scientific American. There are "prob-
m. ably no big chains being made by the
t, use of machinery, There are; various
's appliances ernployed, but these are
i- hand operated or personally torr,
m trolled. This situation appears to be
e due to two things. First, as. the pro-
rs yerbial expression has it, "a chain is
no stronger than the weakest of its
links." A handmade chain"his lnatural-
ly made link by link. If the workmen
are not only careful, but conscientious
as to details, there is a consislerable
opportunity for attention equivalent
to continuous inspection. The making
of big chains is largely'an old-time
blacksmith's job.
Danger end Carnage.
One wonders if Canadian school-
children have any conception of the
lot of French boys and girls .in the
towns and villages along the battle-
front, writes a Canadian soldier. Poor
youngsters, in some places they and
their parents have been gebliged to
live in the cellars of places under
shell -fire. At one Belgian village
Canadian ladies assistedin the care
of such cellar waifs. Nowadays,.
though villages in close proximity to
the lines have been denuded of their
inhabitants, civilians still dwell in
towns which the Hun does not
scruple to bombard on occasion.
French boys and girls, during the
past two and a half years of war,
have grown accustomed' to the rum=
ble of cannon, and the crash of shells,
The sight of ruined buildings in their
native villages is a commonplace. A
some towns along the Canadian fron

walks into the fields, and on more the
one occasion 'have had td be shooed
away from the gun -pits. Forsooth
the guns were going into action! Wha
memories of the war will not tiles
war zone kiddies have, living right of
the edge of it—practically at the fron
with' the troops!
And yet, for all their acquaintance
with war's dread realities, ancl.. th
daily chances of being "blotted" by
a shell, these youngsters ; are jus
care -free children after all, `like boys
and girls of their:' own age in Canada.
I saw some of them, just out"from
school, singing at the tops of the!
voices, saw others'feasting their eyes
on the toy horses, trumpets, drums
and other attractions which hung in
festoons in the quaint market square
booths, presided over by Frenchwomen
in hoods of black knitted; wool.
It was some two hundred urchins
ust like these that Senator` Mason of
Toronto, visiting the front: on Red
Cross duty, helped' bp delight on
Christmas Day, when he and other
Canadian officers presented gifts from
a tree. The joy of .those • children un-
der that shell-smitten'roof within loud
sound of the guns is an experience
the Canadian donors will never forget.

M. C.d Found a Cure
in Dodd's Kidney Pills.
One of the Reasons Why Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills Have Had 'a Phenomenal
Growth of Popularity in the West.,
Ellscott, Alta., Mar. 12th (Special.)
—The growth of popularity of Dodd's
Kidney Pills in this section of the
Great West has been phenomenal,
They cure kidney disease. That much
has been proved again and again. One
of the latest proofs comes from M. C.
ace, Lindos, well known and highly re-
n'spected here.
"Thanking Dodd's Kidney Pills
, seems a small way of expressing' my
t gratitude," M. C. Lindos states. "I
e suffered from. headaches and dizziness
1 and was unable to find anything' that
t would do me any good. ' I tried sev-
eral medicines that were advertised to
dare my trouble, but they did not.
e "Dodd's Kidney Pills were recom-
mended to me by a friend' and I sent
t for a box and gave them a trial. The
result is that I" am feeling fine now. 'I
• shall always keep a box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills handy."

Lindos because the trouble came from
the kidneys. Lumbago,' rheumatism,

BECAUSE AND BECAUSE.
Give the Boys and. Girls Accurate. An-
swers'to Their Inquiries.
It may seem to you an easy way
ut of a tight place when the little
haps at your house ask you hard
uestions, to answer:: "Because." But
eally, it is hardly fair to them or to
ou. They want to know, and "be-
cause" sheds no light on the question.
The little folks are hungry`or the
truth, so take the trouble to tell them
the truth. If ybu don't know, say so,
but make it your business to find out l
and let them know as soon as ops-
sibie.
Boys and girls •pass onto their lit-
tle rieighhors what father and mother
tell them. Be. sure you are fight be-
fore you give them any information.
The little fellows are just now stor-
ing up things for the days to come,
and need every bit of help they can
get; don't ten them off with a feeble
"because." Give them something
worth while, something which will
make them better and more lntelli
gent.
It does you good to think and study
until you can answer the thotisand-
and-one questions your boys and girls-.
ask you, so have.the patiencd and the
goodness of heart to make good anis

"Just Boys.
.The trait in a mother that all boys
most admire is that which prompts
her to proceed with the packing of a
lunch basket for a picnic, although
anyone can see that the clouds are
gathering for a storm. There is one.
complaint that the neighbors ' of a
family of boys never make, and that
isthat there is nothing going on in
their neighborhood. A boy likes best
the game that involves the most hard
work, and the work. that requires the
least exertion. During a boy's career
he, encounters almost everything in
the way of ailments except insomnia.
There is not much hope for the boy
who, pleases his mother to the extent
of keeping a pair of white stockings
clean all day. If a boy had half the
pride in the baby that his mother
feels, he would shut it in the barn and
charge three pins for admission.
