The Minister of Munitions it tries to hold, Pallor, listlessness and irritability are symptoms that early show that the blood and nerves are failing to meet the demands made upon them, and that St. Vitus dance has fastened its hold upon the child. In this condition there is no tonie can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which build up the blood, strengthen the nerves and safely help to meet the demands of the growing child. Out- of-door exercise, nourishing food, plenty of sleep with these tonic pills will cure even the most severe cases of St. Vitus dance. We offer the fol- lowing proof: "Up to the age of ten years," says Mrs. Johnson, of Hem - ford, N.S., "my son Calvin was as healthy .and rugged as any child could be. Then he began to complain that his eyes hurt him, and of pains in the head,and began to fall back in his Studies at school. Then I noticed a twitching of the muscles of his face and arms, and later his whole body seemed to be in constant motion. Our family physician was called in and pronounced the trouble a severe at- tack of St. Vitus dance. He was un- der the doctor's treatment for some three months, but did not seem to im- prove. We- had taken " him from school, and were careful that nothing should excite him, but notwithstand- ing he grew worse, and the least start would bring on attacks of hysteria. This went on for some months until Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were brought to my attention, and we decided to give him this medicine. After using a few boxes there was a noticeable improvement, and by the time he had taken nine or ten boxes he had recov- ered his former good health. There has been no sign of a return of the trouble, and I can scarcely say how thankful we feel for the complete restoration o four son's health." Parents who find their growing boys or girls becoming nervous should lose no time in giving them Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. You may ward off an attack of St. Vitus dance, or if the trouble has reached that stage the Pills will effect a cure.

"We have an undoubted superiority in men—(cheers)-in numbers—and I am assured by all those who have been at the front that it is.not mere- ly a superiority in numbers, but in the quality of men—(cheers)—and, therefore, it is purely a question of equipping them with the necessary amount of material to support their valor in the attacks which they make on the lines of the enemy. I heard the other day on very good authority —and this will give the House an idea of the tremendous preparations made by the enemy for this war, and of the expansion which has taken place ever since the war—that the central Euro- pean powers are turning out 250,000 shells per day. Eight Million Shells a Month. "That is very nearly eight million shells per month. The problem of victory for us is how to equal, how to surpass, that tremendous production. (Hear, hear.) The problem of speedy victory is the accomplishment of that aim with the least possible waste of time. (Cheers.) Any obstacle, any mismanagement, any slackness and indiscipline, any prejudice which pre- vent or delay mobilization of all our resources at the earliest possible mo- ment postpone victory. The question which in the Ministry of Munitions we have set ourselves to achieve is: Can we achieve that purpose? I say that we can accomplish that object of not merely equalling the German and Austrian output of munitions, but if we are in earnest we can surpass it. (Cheers.) The central European powers have probably attained something like the limits of their pos- sible output. We have only just crossed the threshold of our possibili- ties. Temporary Preponderance. "Germany has achieved a tempor- ary preponderance of material. She has done it in two ways. She accumu- lated great stores before the war. She has mobilized the whole of her in- -dustries after the war, having no doubt taken steps before the war to be reedy for the mobilization •of the work. hops immediately after the war was declared. Her preponderance in two or three directions is very not- , able. I mention this because it is es- sential they should be understood in inviting the assistance of the com- munity to enable us to compete with this formidable enemy. The superior- ity of the Germans in material was most marked in their heavy guns, their high explosive shells, their rifles, and perhaps most of all their machine guns. These have turned out to be about the most formidable weapons in the war. They have almost superseded the rifle and rendered it unnecessary. Germany's Preparedness. "The problem of victory is a 'prob- lem of mobilizing our resources for the purpose of increasing the material of war. What was the condition of things with which we were confronted at the beginning of war? Germany had been preparing for years. (Hear, hear.) She had been preparing in a direction which we hardly suspected. We naturally were anxious lest she was making great secret preparations to strengthen her navy and to de- velop a sudden surprise attack upon us. I think on the whole there was nothing that she has done for her navy that we had not anticipat- ed. There was nothing she had done for her navy that we were not prepared against. There has been no surprise in the turning out of any expedients of war which had not been foreseen so far as the navy was con- cerned.

What was the fact? Ger- many had undoubtedly been prepar- ing. She had been piling up mater- ial until she was ready. She was on the best of terms with everybody?" d• Serious Handicap on the Lumber Trade of British Columbia. It is evident from reports on trade conditions in British Colubia which have just been received by officers of the Canadian Northern Railway Com- pany, that the war in Europe was not the entire cause of the business de- pression, from the effects of which. the people in the coast province are now recovering. Representative busi- ness men from Vancouver and Vic- toria almost unanimously advance the opinion, that speculations of the boom period in real estate, account for the greater portion of their troubles. They add that the European conflict has had ' the effect of complicating conditions of trade, but contend that the slowing down of provincial com- merce may justly be attributed to the economies British Columbians were forced to resort to in order to meet the payments for the real estate they had purchased long before, in the hope of obtaining a prompt and ex- cessive profit. But it also seems from the reports, that the days of disci- pline have resulted in the formation of a new perspective towards busi- ness generally, and the revival which now appears to be imminent will find a people without illusions and with a more . intelligently directed courage waiting to take advantage of its op- portunities. These reports to the C. N. R. are supplementary to those published recently in connection with the survey of trade conditions in Can - The W.j61e Duty of a Soldier. mediately after the outbreak of hos- tilities, and has not yet returned to its former volume.

A remedy for the pride troubleis being soughtin plane. for the organizing of a central selling agency, similar to that operating in the State of Washington. The mill men .on the coast say that stocks of lumber all over the world are badly in need of new supplies.: If from the confidence engendered by the harvesting of a good crop, build- ing resumes its former activity in the Prairie Provinces, and vessels are able to clear to newly developed mar- kets in Great. Britain, the West In- dies, and the American Atlantic Coast States, they expect a business which will tax all their available facilities. In the meantime, it is shown that one mill in Vancouver is working over- time on new orders, which will keep it busy for a considerable period, and other lumber men are in daily expec- tation of orders for large quantities, of building materials for reconstruc- tion in Europe. There are evidences that the clear spruce of British, Col- umbia is meeting with favor for the construction of aeroplanes, and sev- eral small supplies have been deliv- ered. The credit situation in the Province is improving, and it seems to be the general opinion that obligations have been well met when conditions are considered. Lumbermen report that their collections are satisfactory. The weaker dealers are not in the market to any extent, and the stronger firms are able to meet demands made upon them. Export lumber is sold on a basis of cash on delivery. The Department of Agriculture for British Columbia, reports by wire that the agricultural situation is dis- tinctly encouraging, and that weather conditions are favorable for growth. Increases are reported in land clear- ing, and in the areas devoted to crops of all kinds. The profits of poultry raising have been reduced to some ex- tent owing to the high price of grain, but there has been satisfactory in- crease in dairying. In small fruits there is a fair crop. The selling or- ganizations have been improved, and prices have been excellent so far. Truck farming is increasing, and the British Columbia produce is largely displacing imports from the United States. The prices for beef, pork and mutton are good and likely to so con- tinue. There is a satisfactory in- crease in hog raising. The establish- ment of public markets is proving very satisfactory, and is reducing the cost of living. Unskilled labor at low prices is plentiful; skilled labor is difficult to obtain, and fairly good prices are paid. The report adds that comparatively little grain will be im- ported from the Prairie Provinces this year on account of the larger area sown. The tendency appears to be for city people to exchange town properties for farm lands, and many appear to be anxious to leave the town and engage in agricultural work. A large increase in production is looked for in the next few years. Prince at the Front. An interesting picture of the Prince of Wales at the Front is drawn by Sir William Robertson -Nicoll, who tells us that His Royal Highness con- tinues when circumstances permit, to take a six -mile walk before breakfast. When asked if he went to bed very early in order to accomplish this, the Prince replied that he could not go to bed very early, as he wrote to his fa- • ther, mother, and sister every night. The only way that has been found to induce the Prince to take some precaution when under shell fire is, according to Sir William, to repre- sent to him that serious inconveni- ences might be caused if he were taken prisoner. For to any remark about his being killed, the Prince answers cheerily that he has . many brothers at home, so it wouldn't mat- ter. BUILT A MONUMENT The Best Sort in the World. "A monument built by and from Postum;" is the way a man describes himself. He says: "For years I was a coffee drinker until at last I became a terrible suf- ferer from dyspepsia, constipation, headaches and indigestion. (The ef- fects on the system of tea and coffee drinking are very similar, because they each contain the drug, caffeine.) "The different kinds of medicine I tried did not cure me, and finally some one told me to leave off coffee and take up Postum. I was fortunate in having the Postum made strictly according to directions on the pkg., so that from the start I liked it. "Gradually my condition changed. The old troubles disappeared and I began to feel well again. My appe- tite became good and I could digest food. Now I am restored to strength and health, can sleep sound all night and awake with a fresh and rested body. "I am really a monument built by Postum, for I was a physical wreck, distressed in body and mind, and am now a strong, healthy man. I know exactly what made the change; it was leaving off coffee and using Postum." Name given by Canadian Postum Co,, Windsor, Ont. Read, "The Road to WellvilIe," in pkgs. Postum comes in two forms: Postum Cereal—the original form —must be well boiled. 15c and 25c packages. • Instant Postum—a soluble powder —dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water, and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage instantly. 30e and 50e tins. Both kinds are equally delicious and cost about the same per cup.

Plans were on foot to cele- brate this great event, and had not Fate -and Germany—willed other- wise, this summer would have seen a celebration of great magnitude and of exceptional interest and value. But the war came. Canadians are bending all their energies, and devoting all their thoughts, to the work of fight- ing for the British Empire, and our friends of the United States have been confronted with anxious and absorb- ing problems. In the circumstances, the plans for a great commemoration of the First Century of Peace be- tween the. Great Empire and the Great Republic had to be reconsider- ed. Those in charge of the movement, after consulting the leading men con- nected with it both in Canada and the United States, decided on a modified programme.. That aspect of the plans which contemplated public rejoicing has been postponed, but those por- tions -the larger portions, it should be said—of the plans, which laid em- phasis on education and on the culti- vation of a reasonable frame of mind in the conduct of international rela- tions are being prosecuted. The pub- lic rejoicings are only postponed, and the organizations formed to carry out the commemoration were encouraged to continue their work of preparation and education, so that when the war is over and victory has crowned the Bri- tish and allied forces, fitting festivi- ties might be held. These festivities are likely to be all the more im- pressive in view of the fact that we shah be celebrating not only the con- clusion of a century of peace with our neighbors but• the overthrow of those forces which have, for so many years, menaced the peace of the whole world. The Canadian Peace Centenary As- sociation—which, by the way, is not and never has been a "Peace Society" has just issued a pamphlet which sheds an interesting light on the tem- er prevailing between the Canadian and American peoples. The ratifica- ion of the Treaty of Ghent took place on February 17th, 1815, and on the centenary date great numbers of messages were exchanged between the President of the Canadian Peace Centenary Association, Sir Edmund Walker, and the Governors of the tates; between cities and towns on oth sides of the line; between Boards f Trade, and even between individual rms and their correspondents across the border. These are printed in the am hlet and bear wi p t S b 0 fi p p tness to a cor- diality of spirit which affords a wel- come contrast to the dark animosities which make other continents so dreadful a spectacle to -day. These messages display a wonder- ful unanimity of conviction, and it may be added that many of those from the neighboring Republic con- vey the heartiest good wishes for the success of our cause. Another feature of the pamphlet is the description of the services held on Sunday, Febru- ary 14th, in an extraordinary number of churches in both coui.',ries. The public celebrations of this triumph of reasonableness and good will should be one of the earliest events after the conclusion of the present dreadful struggle. The Can- adian Peace Centenary Association, and its corresponding body in the United States, the American Peace Centenary Committee, have made all the necessary preparations, and it .is. to be hoped that their work will be crowned with success.

From the German point of view everything leads to the necessity of her endeavoring to cripple the . mo- tor transport services of her enemies, according to one of the English mo- toring writers. This is not as easy as dropping bombs on airship sheds, railway stations, and the like, because the motor vehicles are dispersed all over the theatres of war and are to be counted by tens of thousands. "Therefore Germany is seeking the means of crippling our use of such machines," he says, "when the time comes for us to make our advance. As usual, her methods are characterized ®�� by that most uncommon quality, com- mon sense. "Large quantities of empty bottles have been sent into Belgium, there to be broken up and in due course strewn on any roads along which it might be necessary for the Germans to make a retreat. Inasmuch as the bulk of the motor transport service of a modern army necessarily consists of vehicles equipped with solid tires, it might be assumed that the proposed tactics would prove more or less a waste of enterprise on the part of the enemy. "His calculation, however, is based on the fact that the faster classes of motor vehicles used by the nations now at war, including varieties of ar- mored cars, which could be used ef- fectively for following up and harass- ing a retreating enemy, are equipped with pneumatic tires. Of course, vari- ous preparations exist for filling these tires so that they become immune from puncture, nor would there be any difficulty in equipping a few ar- mor -plated cars with apparatus for sweeping the road surfaces in front of a train of vehicles pursuing a re- treating foe. ."Undoubtedly, the armored motor car as an instrument of offence is destined to play a larger part in the war than it has so far assumed." e• Tea Is a War Munition. k`LOWEIt OF INDIAN ARMY. The Sikhs Are Unhampered by Caste Probibitioitig, Mr, C, IT. Payne (lateof the Bhopal State Service) gives us • a smallvol- ume of immediate interest in "A Short History of the Sikhs!' It be- gins with Baba Nanak, whose' birth in 1469 represents the first date in Sikh history , and concludes with a chapter on "Annexation—and After." It was Nanak who gave his disciples the name of "sikh," which means "disciple," and to him is due the most authoritative portion of the "Adi Granth Sahib," or Sacred Book of the Sikhs. A copy of the Sikh Scrip- ture is still carried at the head of every Sikh regiment. The greatest Sikh leader was the military despot, Ranjit Singh (barn in 1780), who never wore a_ royal head-dress and never used a throne. "My sword," said he, "is the only distinction I re- quire." In his talent for military or- ganization Ranjit Singh ranks first among Indian leaders, and as Mr. Payne observes, "his conquest of the Punjab was an achievement of which Napoleon himself, with the same means at his disposal, might have been proud." There are now in the service of the Government 30,000 Sikh troops, who constitute the flower of the Indian; army. Unhampered by caste prohibi- tions, the Sikh soldier will go any- where and do anything—which ex- plains his joy at serving for us now in France. He is hardy, good-temper- ed, patient under privations, and obedient to discipline, while his cour- age is such that he never knows when he is beaten. Sir Lepel Grif- fin thinks "that the Sikhs, infantry and light cavalry, are, when well and sufficiently led by English officers, equal to any troops in the world, and superior to any with whom they are likely to come in contact." No Tea is being used as the most port- able beverage ration in the trenches in Europe. The belligerent Govern- ments are buying immense quantities and the troops are acquiring a taste for tea that will greatly increase the future consumption. Cheap tea is a thing of the past now that the new demand has arisen, and rising prices may be expected for some time. Starving the Belgians. It is reported in Rotterdam that the German military authorities in several of the Belgian provinces, in an effort to force the civilians to work for the army of occupation, have withheld food supplies sent in by the commission for the relief of Belgium. In Malines the supply of food is said to have been stopped because the mechanics refused to work in the railroad shops. At Courtrai the workers are reported to have been de- prived of food because of their re- fusal to work in barbed wire fac- tories, while similar action was taken at Roubaix on the refusal of the work- ers to make sandbags for trenches. General von Bissing, Governor of Belgium, has issued a decree provid- ing for the expropriation of the grain. crops for the feeding of the civilian population. The decree, it is stated, aims at preventing a speculative ad- vance in prices, and at an equable goose)—Am I to sit so close to the goose?

Pretty, dark, very charming in her own circle and very reserved out of it, the Queen of Italy is a devoted wife and mother. Visitors to Rome are apt to comment on the fact that she and the King do not go driving together; strangers are unaware of the court etiquet that makes it impos- sible for them to do so. "The two Queens!" cry the street children as Margheritta and her daughter-in-law go by, the one in black, the other in the inevitable gris-perle. The pretty daughters are sometimes with them, the King never. The Queen's pearl - grey is the one complaint the Roman people have against her. They ac- cept her pretty shyness, they like her looks, but her shopping habits they wholly disapprove. Dressing on one note, she never makes a strange color fashionable and profitable for a brief season; she is never responsible for the whims that give a fantastic in- terest to the crowd on the Pincio, and bring success to the dressmakers. It is a standing jest in the capital that every report of a garden party or bazaar attended by royalty finds the same phrase in print: "Her Majesty was present, in a gown of gris-perle."
