Zurich Herald, 1915-09-03, Page 7e f '`OF TALr. _a . '..POPULARO SOLDIERS TELL OF HIS KIND NESS AND COURAGE. Wept When He Heard' of the Death of Lieutenant Who Excelled Him in Aim. Before the war the King of Italy's only claim to popularity consisted in . his domestic virtues,. Everybody ad, mitted that he was a modest husband and father, a• very good man and es- sentially a. constitutional sovereign. But his subjects thought his incline- tions 'were peaceful and that he pre- ferred numismatics to soldiering. When the war came the King imme- diately assumed supreme command of the land and sea forces, and rushed to the front. Now everybody is con- vinced that the King is as much a "sol- dier as his father and grandfather. The war has entirely changed the mistaken opinion .about the King. Soldiers write to their families des-' eribing what the King is doing, what he says to them, and how he exposes , his life just as they' do. The lettersv • have firmly established the King's popularity. The King at the front spends his time among the soldiers and often shares his meals with them. His Human Side. "I was going to one of the advanced posts up a steep hill," writes a soldier to his family, "carrying'the General's raincoat over my arin. The General had ordered me to bring his coat up in case it looked like rain, and as soon as I saw the clouds gathering I .obey- ed his orders. I had two miles to go, and had hardly covered half the dis- tance when it began to pour. Of Bourse I ran, as I had no coat myself, and besides I knew the general was waiting for me. Half way up the hill a grey automobile came rushing down. I halted and saluted, as I saw two officers inside. One of them put out his hand and waved to me. Then the automobile stopped suddenly and 'one of the officers jumped out and .ran to- ward me. "You are soaked to the skin,' he said, 'andyou are carrying a rain- coat on your arm instead of wearing it. Why on earth don't you put it on?' 'It is not my coat, your Majes- ty,' . I stammered, recognizing the King, 'It belongs to General X. and I am taking it up to him.' 'Put it on, put it on yourself,' the King said, • 'and tell the general I ordered you. Of course you were right, as discipline is discipline, but then there are excep- tions, and this is one.' • "The King helped me on with the coat, gave me a coupleof cigars, pat- ter nie 'on the shoulder, and shook hands with me. Before he started he waited to make sure that I would not take the coat off. When I explained • to the general why I wore his coat, he said he expected me to wear it with- out saying anything to him, and add- ed, `Remember, my boy, that there is no other King in the world who would have stopped Ms automobile and gone to the trouble of preventing a soldier from getting wet.' I could not help shouting, 'Long live the King!' as I saluted the general." Artillery Specialist. The King is an artillery specialist, and often personally directs the fire of a battery or a section. He spent an entire day with a sub -lieutenant in command of a section of mountain artillery in a dominating position. Both . the officer and the gunners ad- mired the way in which the King regulated the fire and his unerring aim, but his repeated efforts to de- molish a farm house in the distance from behind which the Austrians were firing, proved useless. "Try your- self," the King said to the lieutenant. "If you succeed you will have accom- plished something wonderful." The lieutenant tried and succeeded. The admiration. of the King was unbound- ed. IIe shook hands with the officer, congratulated him warmly, made the gunners cheer him; and finally he said he was going, since the lieutenant was a much better gunner than he was. A couple of hours later the King was recounting to a , general the lieutenant's admirable firing. The general's face clouded, tears came to his eyes, and he informed the King that a few minutes after he had left the section an Austrian shell explod- ed over the guns, killing the officer and three gunners. The King hid his Nee in his hands and wept.. A Smart Answer. Larry ;0'Shell, in many respects a good soldier, had a very limited idea of the virtue of tidiness. Appearing one morning on parade with his boots' in a fearful state the sergeant's eagle eye soon spotted him. "Private O'Sheil fall out!" he roared. "Phwat d'ye Inane by cocain' here wid yur boots in a rness loike thot?""Arrah, now, sargint, be aisy!" •retorted the imper- tumble Larry. "Shure ye river saw a good soldier showin' a clave pair o'.' heels!" THE ONLY C :EFO M..y A WEAK STOMACH Indigestion and. Similar Troubles Must be Treated Through the Blood Indigestion can be treated in many ways, but it can only be cured in one way -through . the blood. Purgatives cannot cure indigestion. 'By main force they move on the food Still indi gested. That weakens the whole sys- tem, uses up the . natural juices and leaves the stomach and bowels parch- ed and sore. It is actually a cause of indigestion—not a cure;. Others try pre-digested foods and' peptonized. drugs. But drugs whish digest the food for the stomach really weaken its power and makes the trouble chronic.. The digestive " organs can - never do the work properly until they are strong enough to do it themselves. Nothing can give the stomach that power but the new, rich, red bleed so abundantly supplied by Dr. Wil-' lianis' Pink Pills. So the reason for the success of this medicine is plain. Nothing can stimulate the glands and nothing can absorb the nourishment from the food but pure red blood.. And Dr. Williams' Pink Pills surpass all other medicines in giving that new, rich blood. Miss B. E. Johnson, Hemford, N.S., says: "For months I was a great sufferer from indigestion; food of any kind was distasteful to me, and after eating I would 'suffer much. Naturally: I grew weak and was but a shadow of my former self. I was taking a doctor's prescription, but it did not help mein the least. Then I read of a case similar to my own cured through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I decided to try this medicine. By the time I had taken six boxes the trouble had en- tirely disappeared, and I could eat heartily of all kinds of food. More than this I found my general health greatly improved through the use of the Pills. I can therefore stre,ngly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a cure. for indigestion." You. can get these Pills through any dealer in medicine . or by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

His venture is all the mere remarkable because the veteran peer. Lord Brassey. is feeling the infirmitiea ofyears, and can only walk slowly with the aid of two sticks. But he is full of enthusi- asm for the mission he has under- taken, which will add a new and glori- ous chapter to the history of the Sun- beam, the old-fashioned three -masted yacht in which he has sailed the seven seas, and which is known in almost. every quarter of the globe. •,p Narrow Margin. A circus man tells this one: "We were doing Pottstown, Pa. The price of admission was 25 cents—children under 10 years of age 10 cents. Among the first to arrive were a lad of about 18 and his little sister. He laid down 35. cents and asked for two front seats: 'How old is the little girl?' asked the ticket seller. `Well,' said the boy, 'this is her 10th birth- day to -day. But she was not born until 5 o'clock in the afternoon!" Wallflowers are society girls who have been nipped in the bud.

The London Chronicle's Zurich cor- respondent cables that a prize of 500 francs $100) has been offered for the best proposal for arriving at terms of peace, by a Swiss newspaper_. It has drawn from its readers a number of original suggestions. One is that all members of reigning Garman houses should be put into the front line in the trenches, accompanied by all de- puties of the Prussian Diet, directors of Krupp's, and members of the Pan- Germanist Association. In the trenches on the other ,side should be put the members of the French Camelots du Roland editors of French nationalist papers. The origi- nator of this suggestion declares that the first volley fired, after all these gentlemen had been placed in position, would insure speedy and satisfactory peace. A French-speaking Swiss woman proposed that Swiss wives and moth- ers should band themselves together, under their Federal flag, and call to their side women from all the belli- gerent countries. The whole army then would march along the front, from the Vosges to Arras, and would interview the' generals of the three great armies, demanding the restora- tion of husbands and sons now serv- ing in the ranks. Forty-five competitors favor the formation of an army of neutrals, which shall force the combatants to listen to reason. To overcome the diffidence of each belligerent to make the first proposal it is suggested by one competitor that each belligerent should submit pro- posals in a sealed envelope. When all have submitted their proposals, the envelopes will be opened simultan- eously. To prevent the outbreak of a simi lar war in the future one competitor recommends , total prohibition of sports, alcohol, betting and gambling, and all other excitements tending to encourage a bellicose state of mind. Another competitor recommends that all Governments should send all their subjects abroad at public ex- pense ill order that they may broaden their minds by travel among foreign peoples. ow to.

A memberr of the Liverpool Scottish while home on leave, was asked whe- ther the soldiers knew long before- hand when they were going to be call- ed upon to deliver an assault. "Well, they don't exactly tell us but we al- ways know," he explained. "You see, if a number of Army chaplains sud- denly turn up we can always guess that something good and hard is go- ing to be asked of us shortly. And if they serve us with pudding for din- ner before we go into the trenches, why then we know for certain. Minard's Liniment Cures Dandruff. Sometimes Very Good. The young man was rather slow, so the girl thought it time to give him. a hint. "Gracious!" she exclaimed, suddenly, "I've bruised my lip. Do you know, Mr. Jenkins, my mother always used to kiss a hurt place to make it well?" "And did it do any good?" asked the young man failing to see the point. "I don't remember," replied the girl, getting desperate, but those old-fashioned remedies are sometimes very good." Then he got busy. Minard's Liniment for sale everywhere. Branding His Bees. The;_ Government officials had been telling a simple old Scotch farmer what he ,must do in case of a German invasion on the east coast of Scotland. "An' hae I reely tae dae this wi' a' ma beesties if the Germans cone?" ask- ed one old fellow at the finish. The official informed him that such was the law. "All live stock of every de- seription must be branded and driven inland." "Weal, I'm thinkin' I'll hae an awfu' job wi' ma bees!" Be wiser than other people if you can, but do not tell then so.
