HUNS LEFT SILK STOCKINGS.
Robbed Belgians of All Other Articles
of Clothing -Even Stole Beds.
Ladies' stilt stockings were the only
articlels of wearing apparel exempt
from pillaging by the Germans when
their troops settled in Belgium. Every-
thing was taken for the army, but
even the much lauded military intel-
ligence of the IIun general staff could
not figure how sills hose, especially
that of the long. variety, could be used
by the fighting forces. In many in-
stances Belgian women had their
wardrobes almost completely looted -
completely looted with the exception
of the silk stockings.
This interesting fact was disclosed
recently by S. Worms, who is a mem-
ber of the Brussels Chamber b of Com-
merce, now ona business trip to
America. According to Mr. Worms,
. there are plenty of ladies' silk stock-
ings in Belgium, but not much else.
"The German army took everything,"
he declares in a report submitted to
the local Chamber of Commerce. "Cot-
ton, yes; wool, certainly -but not
silk."
Discussing the thoroughness of the
Hun looting parties, Mr. Worms says
each Belgian family was permitted to
keep only one bed and only three
sheets to use on it,
"One German commander," he con-
tinues, "protested against this order.
He thought two sheets would be
enough. But he was overruled. The
Belgians were permitted to keep one
mattress for each. family providing it
was not stuffed with Wool or hair. I
beat them, I took my wool mattress-
es out in the garden, ripped them open,
packed the wool in hogsheads and
buried it. It stayed there four years.
The day the Germans left Brussels I
. dug up my wool. It smelled musty,
but otherwise was unharmed,"
Belgium, he declares, has been "fed
up" on Germans and Germany. As a
result, the inhabitants . are making
every effort to boycott German trade.
On the doer of every business house
in Brussels, and, indeed, in•Belgium,.
he says there is a white card surround-
ed with the Belgium national colors
stating that agents or salesmen from
Geier ;as houses are forbidden to• enter
the premises. The Belgians are also
extremely suspicious of agents from,

WHAT TO DO WHEN TIRED.
Take a Rest, of Course -This Article
Tolls You Why and How.
When you get tired, take a rest, Do
not "make" yourself go on doing some-
thing when you. really feel that you
have had enough.
This sounds a counsel of perfection,
but It is really only the soundest of
common-sense. Experiment has shown
that fatigue is caused by a poison
which is generated in the blood by
exertion.
Everything that we do breaks down
"tissue" -that is to say, it uses up
some of the myriad cells which go to
make up the body, and t nese broken
down cells are waste matter and have
to be eliminated from the body.
All the work inside us is controlled
by the nerves, and these are more or
less Iike the insulated wire thdt is used
for electric bells, and the nervous im-
pulse resembles the current that pass-
es through and does the work.
Fatigue increases the resistance of.
the nerve to the passage of the-im
pulse, this being one of the kindly et=
forts of Mother Nature to shut out
messages from the outside world so
that we may rest and sleep, and re-
cuperate by getting rid of the poison-
ous products of work.
But as the resistance of the nerve
increases. so do the messages in sharp-
ness and clearness, we get too tired to
be keenly alert and accurate, we grow
too tired even to care overmuch, and
this is the state of mind which leads
directly to accidents and Spoiled work.
It actually "doesn't pay" to work in
this state; it does not prove worth
while either to master or man. What
is the use of keeping a workman at
work beyond his fatigue limit if he
only succeeds in spoiling his job,
damaging himself, or smashing the
machine?
There is a rhythm that runs' right
through the world in everything 'i b
do, a kind of swing that enables us to
keep going when once we have start-
ed, so long as we don't get out of
time. It is the same thing that en-
ables a Bran to go on for sixty years
at the office enjoying life, and then.
when he breaks the swing and retires
to what he calls a well-earned leisure,
he promptly files of a broken rhythm.
So, if we keep work and rust going
in their proper swing, and if the: time
of fest is sufficient to get rid of the
:poisons of fatigue, then we can go on'
for an indefinite period.
But we do not allow time for the
poison to be eliminated, we store it.
up and it decreases our nerve -quick-
ness,' impairs our judgment, and' final-
Iy results in a breakdown of one kind
or another.
When 'the body calls for rest it is
economy to give it, Flogging the
tired horse merely slides up more
fatigue -poison and makes things much
worse in the long run.
CARE OF BARN ROOF.
A great many farmers throughout
the country allow thee chaff and straw
blown from threshing machine to barn
roof to remain from"one season to an-
other without removal. They should
realize this holds moisture and it is a
question of only a short time when the
shingles • are decayed. When they
Have to replace the roof the blame is
laid on the shingles rather than on
their carelessness in not removing the
cause of decay.
•
Made It Plain.
At a certain Welsh railway station
which rejoices in the name of "Llan-
fair•pwigwyngyll"-a 'new porter was
engaged. He was only an Englishman,
but he meant to do his duty. The first
train came in. He tackled the name
of the station, but failed miserably
to pronounce more than about the first
inch. • But he was a man of brains.
Running along the platform, he point-
ed to the board which bore the lengthy
name and yelled out: If there's any-
body there for here this is it!"
Tried It.
Willie seemed deep in thought. A,

"I can't make it out!" he muttered.
"Make what out?" asked his mother,.
who had been watching her little '
son
with an amused smile.
"Why everyone calls little brother a
bouncing baby."
"Well, isn't he?" smiled mother.
"No," said Willie. "When I dropped
him this morning he didn't bounce a
bit."

A GRAND' MEDICINE
FOR LITTLE ONES
Mrs, Avila Noel, Haut Lameque, N.
B., writes :-"I can highly recommend
Baby's Own Tablets as they have
worked wonders in the case of my
baby. I always keep them in the
house and would not feel safe without
them." What Mrs. Noel says con-
cerning Baby's Own Tablets is just
what thousands of other mothers say
and feel. The Tablets are a mild but
thorough laxative which regulate the
bowels and stomach, thereby banish-
ing constipation, colic, indigestion and
a host of the other minor ailments of
little ones. The Tablets are absolute-
ly guaranteed to be free from opiates
or narcotics or any of the other drugs
so harmful to the welfare of the baby.
They cannot possibly do harm -they
always do good. They are sold by
medicine dealers or by mail at 25
cents a box from The Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
Ground For Suspicion.
A north dountryman, charged with
having set fire to a large hayrick, was
defended on the ground that he was
not altogether responsible for his ac-
tions. One of the witnesses testified
to the belief that the prisoner was
"wrang in his held,"
"Can you mention any occasion on
which the prisoner behaved in a man-
ner to warrant your statement?" he
was asked by the learned counsel.
"Yes," answered the witness. "Once
at work he got half a crown too much
for his wage, an—"
"Well?" said counsel, as the witness
hesitated.
"He took it back to th' manager,"
concluded the witness.
Boiled. Down.
Not long ago the editor of an Eng-
lish paper ordered a story of a certain
length, but when the storeearrived he
discovered that the author had written
several hundred words too many,
The paper was already late in going
to press,, so there was no alternative -
the story must be condensed to 6t the
allotted space. Therefore the last few
paragraphs were cut down to a single
sentence. It read thus:
"The earl took a Scotch highball,
his hat; his departure, no notice of his
pursuers, a revolver out of his hip
pocket, and finally, his life."

AFTER EFFECTS
OF INFLUENZA
Often as Serious as the Disease
Itself -How to Get New
Health.
There are few homes in Canada that
were not touched by the sorrow that
trailed in the wake of the,. Spanish
Influenza epidemic. Estimates of ;the
loss of life caused by this epidemic
show that it was almost as great as
the losses caused by the war, and
these take no account of the baneful
after-effects' which are sometimes as
fatal as the disease itself.
Victims of the disease are general-
ly left with impoverished blood and
a weakened system, In this condi-
tion they are exposed to many dang-
ers sinless precautions are taken to
'enrich the blood and strengthen the
nerves. The debility that invariably
follows influenza is not a disease of
any organ. It is a general condition
of unfitness. It must be met by a
remedy whose good results will be
quickly felt throughout the entire
system. In this condition Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills will be found in-
valuable. The mission of this medi-
cine is to enrich the blood, and this
new, red blood carries renewed
health and strength to every part of
the body. The case of Mrs. George
Louder, Hamilton, Ont., proves the
value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in
cases of this kind, Mrs. Louder
says: -"I had a very severe attack of
Spanish influenza which left me 'pale
and very weak. My appetite com-
pletely failed me and the least noise
would startle me and make me cry.
I was under a doctor's care, and final-
ly he advised me to take Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, and I had not been taking
them long before I could tell they
were helping me. I need altogether
nine or ten boxes and am now feeling
as well as ever I did in my life. I be-
lieve if it had not been for these
pills I would have been a chronic in-
valid."
Such proof as this must be interest-
ing to everyone who suffered from an
attack of influenza, and who still feel
in any way weakened as the result of
the trouble. It points the way to new
health and strength, and if you are
one of the sufferers you should avail
yourself of this medicine at once. 'You
can get Dr: Williams' Pink Pills
through any dealer in medicine, or by
mail at 50 cents a'box or six boxes for
$2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medi-
cine Co., Brockville, Ont.
Shorter the Better.
The editor dropped into a barber's
and asked for a hair cut.
The man with- the shears was in-
clined to be talkative,
"I don't Itnow sir," he began,
"whether you have heard about that
story about the boy who-" Then
with a sudden recollection of his pro-
fessional duties, he interjected: "Like
it short, sir?"
"Yes, yes," said the editor, eagerly,
"A brief synopsis will do."

Did you ever see a bar -

Never! Isn't this fact
significant?
Stropping, you see, is
needed to reform the
saw -like edge that re-
sults from shaving; to
keep the blade free from
rust; and to give you
for each morning's
shave a keen -edged
blade. The self -strop-

serves the keen edge
that makes shaving
comfort possible.

NEW GIANT C P R. LOCOMOTIVE.
Ten of the largest locomotives ever
built for use on Canadian railways
have been under construction for
some time at the C.P.R. Angus Shops
in Montreal, and one of these, No.
5302, was inspected the other day by
President E. W. Beatty, and Vice-
president Grant Hall. These locomo-
tives are of the heavy Mikado type
and are intended for freight service,
being designed and built under the
direct supervision of Mr. W. H. Win-
terrowd, the Chief Mechanical Engi-
neer.
The weight of the engine and ten-
der iu working condition is 500,000
llbs., thee engine alone weighing 323,-
000 lbs. The diameter of the driving
wheels is 63 inches, The cylinders
are 25I inches in diameter by 32 -
inch stroke, which with 200 -lbs. boiler
pressure makes these locomotives
capable of exerting a maximum trac-
tive effort of 36,000 lbs. The diameter
of the boiler is 30 inches at the bank
end: The fire box is 84 inches wide
and 120 inches long, and the grates
are moved by steam grate shakers.
The cab, is of the vestibule type,
which is the C,P.R. standard, and
every effort lies been made to make
the accommodations for the engine -
men as comfortable as possible. One
side of the cab is fitted with a clothes
loc'iter 14 inches by 20 inches wide, in
which clothes can bo hung and lunch
pails carried.
The tender has a capacity for 12
tons of coal and 8,000 Imperial gallons
of water,
