WOMAN RULER
SHE IS THE PRINCESS HENRY
OF BATTENBERG.
Governor of the Isle of Wight—leas
Lost One Son in
!viz' '' the War.
. Only one tiny part of the whole
British empire is under the governor-
ship of a woman. That is the Isle
of Wight, whose governor is Princess
Henry of Battenberg. She is the
youngest daughter of the late Queen
Victoria and the mother of the pre-
sent Queen Victoria, consort of the
King of Spain, Incidentally, Princess
Henry is one of the richest of the
British royalties. She has been gov-
ernor of the Isle of Wight, and also
of Carisbrook Castle, the historic
fortress there, "for nineteen years,
since the death of her husband,
Prince Henry Maurice of Battenberg.
He, of course, was a German. But
at the outbreak of the war all three
of the sons of Princess Henry of
Battenberg volunteered for service in
the British army, and one of them,
Prince Maurice of Battenberg, has
since died a hero's death in Flanders.
So this royal mother has not escaped
.the almost universal .heartache
throughout Europe.
• Princess Henry, whose London
home is Kensington Palace, is now
malting a prolonged stay in her little
"kingdom." She is, by the way, not
the first of her sex to rule over the
Garden Isle, as it is called. The first
'to do •so, Amicia of Clare, was a
daughter of the Earl of Gloucester.
She was governor in the middle of
the thirteenth century. Another fair
ruler of the isle was Aveline de For-
tibus, *Countess of Albemarle, and
"Lady of the Isle of Wight."
Handled Kaiser's Stock.
To -day Princess Henry is even more
affluent than ordinary. She is an
aunt of the Kaiser, and, it is said, his
favorite. Before the start of the war
the Kaiser was holder of a consider-
able block of English Government
stock and also of some British indus-
trial shares and railway stock. About

Rumor says that the King of Spain
and his royal mamma -in-law do not
get along any too well. When King
Alfonso was last at Cowes, Isle of
Wight, and stayed with Princess
11enty, His Majesty made a decidedly
hasty departure, due, it was said, to
oneof those disagreements which
happen in the best regulated fam-
ilies. Moreover, he has not been in
England since. Nor has the Princess
been in Madrid, though the Queen of
Spain has been on visits to her once
or twice. Both their grandmothers,
Princess Henry and Queen Christina,
are equally loved by the royal chil-
dren; and both ladies are said to
agree with the simple way in which

DODD'S KIDNEY' PILLS CURED
i•IIS' RIIIEUMATISM, •
Mr. D. A. Brotherston Tells How His
Rheumatism Disappeared Over .a
Year Ago and Has Never Come
Back.
Victoria Harbor, Ont., Feb. 7th
(Special.)—Cured of Rheumatism
over a year ago by using Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills, Mr. R. A. Brotherston, a
well-known resident of this place, is
still singing the praises of the great
Canadian Kidney remedy.
"I was troubled with Rheumatism in
my left hand, which would shift to my
elbow and then to my shoulder," Mr.
Brotherston says. "It was very an-
noying and painful at times, but 1
heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills helping
others so I quit the liniment I was
using and took six boxes of them. The
rheumatism disappeared. That was
over a year ago, but it has not return-
ed.
"I know Dodd's Kidney Pills are
good for kidney trouble both in my
own case and through others who have
used them."
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
in the blood. If you cure your kidneys
by using Dodd's Kidney Pills they will
drain all the uric acid out of the blood
and there can be no rheumatism.
CRY AT SONGS OF BIRDS
Carols Have Strange Effect on Bri-
tish Soldiers.
Have the song -birds of Europe be-
come the victims of bullets, shrapnel
and deadly gasses or have they des-
erted the war -ridden Continent en-
tirely?
During a severe artillery duel, it
is reported that several British sol-
diers were seen crying. When asked
why, they said that during the lulls
of the bombardment, the birds could
be heard singing. Over one trench
hung a huge tree, and on a bough
were two birds preening their feath-
ers and twittering.
Betwen the opposing lines birds are
said to be scarce, excepting swallows
wagtails
swifts and stray linnets,

What An M.D. Learned.
A prominent physician went through
a food experience which he makes
public:
"It was my own experience that
first led me to advocate Grape -Nuts
food; and I also know from having
prescribed it to convalescents and oth-
er weak patients that this food is a
wonderful rebuilder and restorer of
nerve and brain tissue, as well as
muscle. It improves the digestion and
patients gain, just as I did in strength
and weight, very rapidly.
"I was in such a low state that I
had to give up my work entirely and
go to the mountains, but two months
there did not improve me; in fact I
was not quite as well as when I left
home. My food did not sustain lie
and it became plain that I must
change.
"I began to use Grape -Nuts and in
two weeks I could walk a mile, and
in five weeks returned to my home
and practice, taking up hard work
again. Since that time I have felt as
well and strong as I ever did in my
life.
As a physician who seeks to help all
sufferers I consider it a duty to reale
these facts public,"
Trial 10 days on Grape -Nuts when
the regular food does not seem to sus-
tain the body will work wonders.

German Channcellor Admits Force o
Arms Cannot Bring End.
Gustav Schweppendick, managing
editor of the Deutsches Journal, who
has just returned to New York from
Berlin, where he acted as correspond-
ent for the New York American,
says:
Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollwegi
made this statement recently to party
leaders in the Reichstag:
"There have been no official peace
negotiations so far. There have
however, been unofficial conversa-
tions. The conferees were, as a rule,
financiers of high international posi-
tion. It was the general impression
of the participants that all warring
nations would be willing to enter
into negotiations except England.
Having failed to crush Germany by
armed force, she hopes to succeed in j
an economic war. i
"For this reason the war probably !
will last for some time," continued
the Chancellor. "We may as well
prepare for it. We must safeguard!
our food and other supplies. We must!
be independent of all overseas trade.
"It is my impression that there
will not be extensive field operations
for the present. Even if we occupied
more of the enemy's territory it
'wouldn't alter the situation so far as
England is concerned. We may
straighten out our lines, take a port
in Russia, improve our position in the
west, but, generally speaking, no
more great field battles are prob-
able." 'Bore the Chancellor paused,.
and. added, "unless a campaign be
embarked upon that will strike a
,vital blow at England:"
A high nnilitary official said to mo
later:
:"Germany could take Paris. It.
would only be a question of how many
men we were willing to sacrifice. But
that wouldn't bring England to terms,
We could take Petrograd. But sup-
pose we drove the Czar out of his
capital England wouldn't care. We
could drive the Italian army into the
sea. It would make no difference to
England.
"The more territory we occupy the
thinner our lines; the greater our
difficulties in supplying them. Going
ahead on such lines would help Eng-
land more than us."
These two statements accurately
reflect German sentiment.

20,000,000 Lives Will Be Two Years'
War Toll.
"The total destruction of life during
two years of war will reach 20,000,-

Ih;alth Service, at the annual meeting
of the Royal Institute of Sanitarians.

CHEMIST'S DISCOVERY.
New Use for An Explosive's Waste
Product.
An interesting announcement of the
discovery of a new method of utilize
ing a waste product in connection
with the manufacture of . explosives
was made recently at a meeting of
the Society of Chemical Industry, in
the Grand Hotel, Manchester, Eng-
land.
In the manufacture of nitric acid,
which is one of the most important'
chemicals for producing explosives,
thousands of tons of a by-product are
produced every week for .which up to
the present no remunerative use has
been found. Owing to the strongly
acid nature of the material, which is
termed nitrecake, it is expensive to
store, and its corrosive 'action on
waggons and boats renders the cost
of transport prohibitive.
Dr, J. Grossman, of Manchester,
read a paper which dealt with the
conversion of nitrecake into caustic
soda, which at present is difficult to
obtain, and commands a high price,
and into cheap sulphate soda of the
purest quality.
