The Exeter Advocate, 1917-9-6, Page 3"One Meatless . Meal a Day" is a good food slogan for war tirne, or any time—better make it two meatless meals a day—it would mean health and strength for the nation. But be sure and get the right 'substitute for meat in a digestible form. Shredded Wheat Biscuit is the ideal substitute for meat. It is 100 per cent. whole wheat prepared in a digestible form. Two or three of these little loaves of baked whole wheat make a nourishing, satisfying meal at a cost of only a few cents. Delicious with milk or cream or fruits of any kind. Made in Canada.

Man of Statesmanlike Wisdom With the Swift and Courageous Action of a Soldier. All honor is due to the heroic young War. Minister, Alexander Kerensky, who has played such a splendid part in firing the fighting blood of the Russian soldiers, chilled by the work of German agents in the first.days of the revolution. Less dramatic for the moment, but immensely effective, has been the work of General Brusiloff, the Rus- sian Commander -in -Chief. The drive began on Brushoff terri- tory, between Zlochoff (Zloczow) and Brzezany, along the, Stripa River; it was begunwith the armies which Brushoff had held firmly in his own hands while he was commander of. the south-western front before his appointment as Commander -in -Chief. It is pertinent. to ask why the Brus- hoff group of armies was chosen to begin the new drive; why this group of armies was supremely ready and effective. The answer, I believe, is this: During the three perilous months immediately following the abdication of Nicholas II., when the work of German agents in Russia was, ate -times, seemingly triumphant, Brusiloff' had given orders that not one of these "Socialist" propaganda- ists should be tolerated within speak- ingdistance of any of his troops -- and t s YP and had seen that his orders were car- ried out. Therefore, it happened that, while the German agents were drug- ging the Kronstadt sailors and sowing discord at Petrograd, the morale of the Brushoff armies on the southwest Y P , t front was almost whop unim aired' o- their fine discipline was almost wholly unshaken. • Brusiloff intervened in another way, which has been indicated in the press cables, but which has not, in all likelihood, been clearly understood. It will be remembered that German agents, just about the time when Nicholas' descended from the throne, scattered broadcast through Petro- grad the famous "Order No. 1," ap- parently signed by, the Executive mis suicide for her to do so. Hence she cannot, unless her people feel the depression of hunger so desperately that they become reckless of their fu - hire. Will Austria be subservient to Ger- many after the war? And to what ?xtent is she so now? Briefly, Austria-Hungary-' cannot help herself in the matter. Her de- pendence is not voluntary. So far as sentiment is concerned, indeed, there is very little love lost between the two countries. For Prussia and the Prus- sians,.a distinct dislike is even felt. The wounds of 1866 are still smart- ing. Her from from power, the loss of her supremacy in the Germany of that time, are keenly realized. ''Prus- sia is regarded as an upstart with the ""� =amiable qualities of an upstart. The departed glory of the Austria of old. Is deeply regretted. The Slays of Austria bear their powerful western neighbor undisguised hatred. But needs must. Austria is firmly convinced that without Germany's strong arm to support her she is doomed as a political entity. We all grasp the hand that is held out to us to save us from drowning, no matter whose it be. Austria's Plight. Consider the facts. Look at Aus- tria -Hungary's present plight. Aus- tria-Hungary is economically undevel- oped, or at least not sufficiently de- veloped. Her turbulent history, plus. another more recent element, i.e., the race strife within her borders, ac- counts for that. Of that one becomes aware as soon as one crosses her fron- tiers. How far behind she is in intellectu= aldevelopment is best seen, for in- stance, by studying her latest statis- tics. From -them it is seen that there are whole large provinces where illi- teracy predominates. Hungary especially, though, a coun- try abounding in natural resources, urgently requires capital. Formerly Paris was the money market to which Hungary applied by preference. But owing in part to the .heavy drain" on French liquid resources made by Rus- sia, as well as to the fact that Hun- gary formed part of the Dreibund, that market was closed to her. That became very evident during the five years preceding the war, when Hungary vainly attempted to place various loans for internal improve- ments in Paris. There was a financial boycott declared against Hungary by France. Thus Hungary, too, was forced to turn to Germany as a finan- cial backer. The whole banking system of Aus- tria,• her financial status, rests and leans on Germany. The connection is very intimate and strong. Most of the Austrian and Hungarian indus- trial papers, shares, and values are quoted and dealt in outside of Vienna -Only in Berlin. Unless there is a tremendous slump in condition between now and har- vest the supply of beans will be, pro- portionately, greater than the supply of potatoes.

Kerensky hastened at once to the Executive Committee ; and procured the publication of a modifying "Or- der No. 2," in an effort to neutralize the-- damage done. But Gutchkoff, then War Minister in the Provisional Government, seemingly daunted by. the extremists, gave the official sanc- tion of the War Ministry to some of the subversive provisions of the Ger- man proclamation. Soldier and Statesman: Immediately afterward two events were chronicled by the cableseach in a space of three or four lines.` The first of these was a hurried visit of certain famous generals to Petrograd and the Provisional Government, Brushoff was one of then. The sec- ond event was the resignation of Gutchlcoff, whose place was taken by Kerensky. These two comparatively unnoted events are not unconnected, we may surmise; they were not with- out their bearing onthe swift conva- lescence of the Russian army. We can see already, through the early and ' magnificent result, what statesmanlike'' wisdom inspired that swift, courageous and decisive action. But without question, Brusiloff's gift of statesmanship is best demon- strated by the fact that, while it was lie who led the Czar's armies in the great Galician drive which began on June 4, 1916,.it is still Brusiloff who leads the armies of Free Russia.

AN AGE OF 'WEAK NER"VES, s11QR'AGr o woo . "No heart for anything"is the cry o1' thousands of men and women who might be made well by the new, red blood Dr. ;Williams' Pinle Pills actually make. Misery day and night is. the lot of hosts of men and women who are to- day the victims of weak nerves. Their pale, • drawn laces and dejected atti- tude tell a sad tale, for nervous weak Hess means being tortured by morbid thoughts and unaccountable fits of de- pression. These sufferers aro painful- ly sensitive and easily agitated by some chance remark, Sleeplessness robs' them of energy and strength; their eyes are sunken, their limbs tremble, appetite is poor and memory often fails, This nervous exhaustion is one of the most serious evils affect- ing men and women of to -day. The only way to bring' back sound, vigor- ous health is to feed'the starved nerves which are: clamoring for new, rich, red blood.. This new, good blood can be had through the use "of'Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, which fact accounts for the thousands of cures of nervous diseases brought about by this power- ful blood builder and nerve restorer. Through the fair use of this medicine thousands of despondent people have been made bright, active and strong.

William Stewart MacTier, who was reported recently to have beeai awarded the Military' Cross for gal- lantry in the firing line, is a son of Mr. A. D. MacTier, general manager of eastern: lines of the,Canadian' Pacific Railway. .Capt. MacTier went to- the, front with the first Canadian Contin- gent and has been.twice wounded, the first time at Ypres, and lately at Vimy. Ridge. At the outbreak of the war, Capt. MacTier-was on the ocean re- turning from Europe, and immediately on landing joined' the Thirteenth Bat- talion, under Lieut. -Col. (now Briga dier-General)dLoomis, D.S.O. He went, to the "f'r'ont with that unit and fought`' with it when it covered itself with glory at Ypres and Festubert. He :was then wounded. by shrapnel 'and re- turned to Montreal to convalesce. On returning to the front he was attached to Brigadier -General Loomis'staff, Ire having taken over the- command of a brigade in the meantime. After serving' ill, this capacity for a short time one of his feet gave out and an operation was necessary. On his re- By Saving Rags Canadians Can Help to Avert Serious Shortage. In all the warring countries the de- mand for rags, to supply the world's shortage of wool, is insistent,, Canada is no exception, and' appeals are be- ing made throughout the country for the savings of rags and old clothes 1 that they may be again used in the manufacture of shoddy, to relieve the strain upon the wool supply. In Great Britain, the Local Government Board has called attention to the varied ' means by which this material may be saved, as follows: "On account of the large stocks of clothing needed for the British and allied armies, efforts are being made to save the maximum -quantity of rags for use in shoddy mills. ' The aid of women's societies has been invoked in conjunction with urban and rural of- ficials, The collection is largely de- pendent upon the patriotic spirit of the people, but large supplies of old clothes and rags will be called for. Central depots are provided for stor- age, and when enough rags are on hand for shipment they are forwarded to the district centre, where they are sorted and sold to mill owners, the profits going to the Red Cross or other war charities, An especial appeal i made to the tailors and dressmakers - to keep their cuttings for this pur- pose. Discarded, clothing is separated into. three classes -all wool, all cotton, and cotton and wool." This method can' be undertaken in Canada by many organizations. Hitherto, owing to our wasteful hab- its, the saving and collecting of rags has not-appealed;to us, but the war has' brought about many changes, and it is incumbent upon, all Canadians t do their bit toward `averting wthe seri ous shortages that otherwise are sure to result.
