'..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'

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.

PLANS TO STOP WAR BY SWISS.
Proposal to Put German Royal Fami-
lies in Front Trenches.
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.

Rough Luck.
"What! More debts ?" cried the irate

I didn't owe a penny to any man."
"That was rough luck, father," said
the son sympathetically. "Couldn't
