Too many women and too many girls look old long before they should. Their faces become pale and drawn; wrinkles appear and their eyes lack brightness. Can this be wondered at when they so frequently have head- aches, backaches and a general feel- ing of wretchedness and weakness? In most cases it is :the blood that is to blame. From one cause or another the blood has become thin and watery, and it is a fact that anaemia (blood- lessness) more than any other cause, gives women this prematurely aged appearance. It is important that the blood supply of girls and women be regularly replenished—important not only on the score of looks, but to restore robust health, which is of greater value. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually snake new blood and restore the system shattered by over- work or worry. These pills give a any woman or any girl to lookillor feel ill. Mrs. J. McDonald, jrn, Hay, Ont., says: "I honestly believe Dr. Williams' Pink Pills saved my life. Sonie years ago I had anaemia, and as I did not realize the seriousness of the trouble I soon .became a complete wreck. I got so weak I could hardly walk. I neither ate nor slept well, and could not go upstairs without stopping to rest.

Then I began tak- ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and be- fore long could see and feel that they were helping me.

JELLICOE'S COAL BILL. Modern Battleship Uses Twenty Tons of Coal an Hour. The British Navy is the world's champion coal -consumer. In 1913, under Peace conditions, the Admiralty spent no less than $11,- 455,245 on fuel. What the bill for 1914 will be time alone will tell, but it will be many times greater than what it was in 1913. Every ship is in commission, every bunker is crammed with black diamonds, and, day and night, a full head of steam has to be maintained, ready at a moment's no- tice for the order "Full speed ahead." The average modern battleship re- quires about twenty tons pf coal an hour in order to maintain a full head of steam. And we have nearly seventy` such ships at present in commission, says London Answers. A battle cruis- er, such as the Lion, has engines of greater horse -power than the average battleship, acrid consequently requires more fuel. When Sir David Beatty's Squadron of five battle -cruisers paid their fam- ous visit to the Heligoland Bight, they consumed between them nearly 5,000 tons of the best Welsh steam coal. Considering their size,' torpedo-boat destroyers are even bigger gluttons for coal than battle -cruisers. Our Navy must be burning over 100,000 tons in the course of a day. The Ger- man Navy, which is resting so com- fortably in the Kiel Canal, is doubt- less very much more economical. The British taxpayer can therefore look forward to being presented with the biggest coal bill the world has ever known. He can also . look for - Ward to going short of coal himself. Germany used to be our best cus- tomer for coal, but the Navy is more than making up for any custom we have lost through the war. Stocks are getting low and prices are going up and up. But we shall have' one consolation as we sit by our empty grates. We may shiver,- but Jellicoe is getting all the coal he needs. Anda battleship without suf- ficient coal is of no more use than so xnueh scrap -iron. Household Hints. Coarse salt is an excellent cleanser of irons.

A nation of less than four million inhabitants, Switzerland had an army of over a quarter of a million upon its frontiers before the end of the first. week of August •of last year, all well armed and well drilled, completing mobilization before either Germany or France. Within Switzerland's own borders, among the twenty-two cantons of the confederation, influences have been at work to break the Government's neu- trality which began their activities before the soldiers had rushed to an- swer the first call to arms. Among the French Swiss were numerous friends of France who cared more for the interests of the sister .republic than for those of their own. Among the German Swiss assistance to Ger- many was sought at the expense of patriotism. The Italian Swiss worked toward the same end; to sacrifice their country in answering the call of nationality. Every village was flood- ed with -pamphlets, newspapers were subsidized and orators travelled through 'the land, each preaching doe - trines whose acceptance by the Gov- ernment would have wrought nothing but evil to Switzerland.

It is dull work firing at a bullseye target, so that it is not surprising that the old-time soldier made small progress with his marksmanship. But set before him a target which embodies a definite idea, and appeals to his intelligence as wells as his skill, and half the battle of good shooting is won. This is the secret—with much prac- tice and good training as well, of course—of the fine marksmanship of our men, for the bullseye is now only used in the elementary stage of rifle practice. An up-to-date target represents a soldier, a horseman, a gun, or a whole army marching or fighting, scaled to size as it would appear at certain dis- tances, and the soldier fires at it in- dividually or in sections. He begins by firing at a single tar- get, representing the head and shoul- ders of a man lying down in the fir- ing position, and some of these tar- gets fall backwards when hut. He thus becomes familiarised with the appearance of different objects when viewed from various dis- tances, and he learns to shoot straight as well as to estimate distances. No longer is he a mere automaton, pull- ing his trigger when his rifle is aim- ed at an object which he is told is so many yards distant. Most wonderful of all is the Solano target, which represents a whole bat- tle scene, with moving figures in their proper size and even the haze of dis- tance allowed for. Ingenious devices provide other illusions which enable the soldier to become ayerfect marks- man. So it is with the artillery. There are dummy villages to shoot at—let us haste to say they represent poli tions held by troops—cavalry on wires charge across shell -strewn plains, and sham guns belch forth smoke and flame. When firing ceases it can be ascer- tained how many of the "enemy" have been annihilated. Base Libel. Torn --"Is it true that you propos- ed to Alice and was rejected?"
