Destruction of every German in. Jimenez in Great Britain, internment of - all alien enemies, and capture of all German trade secrets are aimed at by the Anti -German League. This organization is increasing in strength daily, and has the backing of in- fluential business concerns in Eng- land. It is attempting to gain a mil- lion members, and its aims are set :forth in a manifesto which says in part: "Ten thousand seven hundred and twenty-nine Germans in London alone still uninternedt These are official figures, given by Sir John Simon in reply to a question in the House of Commons. How much longer is such a state of affairs to continue? Neu- tral - countries consider us quite mad in regard to the alien enemy peril, and it is (amongst other things) the purpose of the anti -German League to bring pressure to bear upon those -Who are responsible for such a crying scandal. Driving Nails in Coffin. "Every true Briton joining means another nail driven into the coffin of German influence in this country. A ;million members are wanted. Enroll at once, and help to raise the league's vigorous battle cry of `Everything AMMID*4.-Geramn taboo!' throughout the Bri- tish Empire. "Never before in Englands history has the nation been faced with prob- lems so grave and complex. We stand, or rather, shall shortly stand, at the parting of the ways. On the one hand lies a road to prosperity and Empire --a road we are opening at a sacrifice of blood and treasure, the like of which the world has never seen—on the other, the as- sumption of a policy of drift and apathy, which would again permit Teutonic leprosy to threaten our very existence. League Objects. "Objects of the league: "1—To enroll 1,000,000 members who will take the Anti -German pledge. "2—To amend the .Iaw relating to alien immigration and the naturaliza- tion of Germans as British subjects. "3—To influence legislation for a protective and, if necessary, prohibi- tive tariff on all German and Aus- trian -made goods. "4—To investigate German pa- I bents, processes, and monopolies with a view to imparting knowledge and information to British traders, -manu- facturers, and others who desire to work same. Financial Assistance. "5• --To assist in returning to Par- liament any candidates, irrespective ' of party, who will pledge themselves to support the objects of the league,, and generally to arrange a series of lectures in all the great towns and cities throughout the country for the purpose of obtaining public support and approval." INVENTS ANTI -WIRE GLOVES Permanently Cured Through the Use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills A clever medical writer has said that "Neuralgia is a cry from the nerves for better blood." In other words, neuralgia is not a disease—it is only a symptom, but a very painful one. Neuralgia is the surest sign that your blood is weak, watery and impure, and that your nerves are lit- erally starving. Bad blood is the one cause—rich, red blood the only cure. This gives you the real reason why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure neuralgia. They are the only medi- cine that contains in correct propor- tions the elements needd to make rich, red blood. This new, rich blood reaches the root of the trouble, soothes the jangled nerves, drives away the nagging, stabbing pain, and braces up your health in other ways as well. In proof of these statements Mrs. A. T. Oulton, Little Shemogue, N.B., says:—"A few years ago my mother was in intense sufferer from neuralgia, which was located in her face, head and shoulders. The pain, especially in her head, was intense. She doctored for some time without getting relief and there seemed to be no ceasing of the pain whatever. In- stead it seemed to be extending and her whole nervous system became af- fected. Finally she decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After taking then for a while the pain in her head became less severe, and of course this was a great relief to her. Under the continued use of the Pills she felt herself growing better and stronger', each day until she was no longer a sufferer and was completely cured, and has felt no symptoms of the trouble since." You can get Dr. Williams Pink Pills from any medicine dealer, 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. Eegli.,hmau Devises Method of Hand- ling Entanglements. Among the. inventions now being tester by the British War Office of- ficials is one credited to George Lynch, a well known traveller, .of a method of destroying wire entagle- ments. The Westminster Gazette, describ- ing the invention, says the method" consists of the use of apair of gaunt- lets made of ordinary khaki cloth lightly padded with cotton wool treat- ed with a peculiar powder,render- ing the material practically imper- vious to the sharpest metal points. Thus, a soldier is enabled to grasp or pull the most formidable type of German' barbed wire without the Slightest fear of the spikes penetrat- ing his hands. The fabric is waterproof, and the gloves can be insulated for the pur- pose of gripping olectrivally charged' Wires. The claim is even made that when made into vests or legging's the' material is strong;. enough to turn ehrapne splinters. A Company has been formed ieo de- ' • velop the invention.

One day east spring the little town of Roi-de-la-Somme, in France, was unexpectedly shelled by the Germans, and a Canadian chaplain describes the scene as he saw it. Life was going on as usual, mothers were busy in the homes, children playing on the streets. In a few moments all was wild confusion, everyone seeking safe- ty, mothers rushing wildly about searching for their children who had been at play. Some found them-- some did not. Among the number who was not found was a little lad about eight years old named Julien Decaux. He was playing football when the shells came among then and ran with the others for safety. One of the Brit- ish car drivers a few weeks later when coming from Boulogne saw a lit- tle fellow, dirty, half -naked and lone- ly about three miles from the town. He seemed lost, and he was. It was Julien Decaux. He told the chaplain that he had never seen his mother since he was playing on the square that day; he was the only child of his parents. Can you imagine the broken- hearted mother hunting for the little lad while he wandered about among the troops for three months? The chaplain took him to the chief of po- lice and they are trying to hunt up Julien's mother. The police wanted to keep him meantime, but he got a firm grasp on the chaplain's leg and em- phatically declared that he was going to stay with "mon capitane." He is staying; if his parents can be found he will be restored to them—if not, the chaplain will see that he has a good home, The Fashions The Spring Bride.. The wedding gown of to -day has lost some of its dignity with its train, but it has gained a youthful charm which is to be preferred. In the wed- ding frock of to -day, there is -much of the quaint charm and sweetness of grandmother's gown; smocking, puff- ing, quilling, shirring and numberless 58r;-6go7 The Short Bridal Gown other handmade trimmings are used in its garniture, and it is fashioned of the sheerest, most airy of fabrics and laces. Attractive Use of Lace and Chiffon. ! Laces, chiffons, and nets were never • daintier or more fairy-like than they are this season. It is to be'a season of -laces and transparent fabrics. Laces as graceful as the web of the spider, or the glinting, shimmering wing of the butterfly, vie for favor with the more substantial, Spanish and thread -run patterns; the sheer- est of silk crepes and the crispest of organdies are modish for frocks. ;Paper -like taffetas are often used in the gowns of the bride's attendants and then, again, they are of organdy, in the palest of tints, trimmed with bands of taffeta. This combination of taffeta and organdy will be a no- ticeable feature of all imported frocks this summer; it is an unusually attractive notion. The Formal Wedding Gown. For the demure little bride who. !wishes to tread the beaten path of custom, for reasons sentimental or otherwise, there are gorgeously bro- caded satins wrth a touch of stiver in the motif. A court train lends formal dignity to such a gown even though the frock itself is considerably short- er than would have been dreamed of in mother's or grandmother's time. The smallest of pages or flower girls are often a detail of such a wedding, lending a novel, pretty note. There are softer satins, too, which may be used for the formal or informal frock equally well. Simple Veil Arrangements. Quite the most important part of the frock for June, October, February, 1 or any other bride, is..the veil. It is often a simple length of tulle, draped r aes it made of selected birch, .empire ma- hogany finish, dull or polished. 298.—Dresser, 40 in. wide, 18 in. deep. British bevelled mirror, 24x30.

If there is none, the bride must be eon - tent to bring in her "something old" in a bit of broeade, cleverly introdue- ed'on bodice or girdle; a piece of an- tique jewelry, also will serve to keep the spell. The Bride's Boquet. The bride's boquet may be a stiff formal little bunch of white rosebuds, with its quaint, stiff little paper man- chette, or the graceful shower bou- quet with drooping lily cups and rib- bons. One of our exclusive florists always furnished his bride with a bouquet in shower effect of Mlles of the valley, white orchids and pure white ribbons; lillies of the valley and white rosebuds are equally effective and much less expensive. The seri- ous bride may carry a flower -decked prayer -book, if she prefers, instead of a bouquet. Children as Attendants. Small 'attendants, flower girls and tiny pages, are becoming more and more a feature of fashionable wed- dings. It is a pretty English custom, one that often saves much thought 6963-6993 Frock for Bride's Attendant. and planning. These small attend- ants are picturesque adjuncts to the ceremany, and whether they wear pic- ture hats, small bonnets, or no head covering at all is a matter of no con- sequence; all three are correct and perhaps the prettiest and simplest thing of all, is to have the wee, curly head decked 'with a wreath of fresh flowers to correspond with those in her basket. Sometimes the small girl's dress is a quaint replica of the bride's own gown, and then again it is a Kate Greenaway frock, dainty and quaint to a degree.

Russian Soldiers Are Warned Not to Waste Ammunition. All boxes of ammunition being dealt out to Russian soldiers now are mark- ed: "Don't wastecyour ammunition; the war is only just beginning." Posted in every public building in Russia, from railway staticm to res- taurant, are notices reading: "Speaking German is strictly for- bidden." The penalty for violating this rule may be three months' imprisonment. The British Foreign Office has is- sued instructions to all British Con- sula'r officers in allied as well as neutral countries to see whether Brit- ish subjects within their districts are associating with persons of belliger- ent nationalities. Offenders are to be warned once; if they persist in as- sociating or , even talking with an enemy either in a business or social way, their British passports wilt be cancelled.

NONTIIFAL To Prevent Gall -Stones. Of course the primary cause of gall- stones is inflammation of the lining of the bile ducts in the liver or the lining of the gall -sac. This inflam- mation is probably always produced by infection, the typhoid bacillus and its first cousin, the colon bacilus, be- ing notorious factors of such inflam- mation. Often indeed, living typhoid bacilli are demonstrated in the centre of a gall -stone 10 or 15 years after the attack of typhoid fever. Stones form in this way: A clump of germs irritates the mucous lining and causes the secretion of excessive mucus, which adheres to the clump of germs, forming ea foreign body in the gal sac or the duets. Cholesterin, a crystalline substance of the bile, is deposited upon the nidus in concen- tric layers. So the stone grows, some- times to the size of sand grains, bird- shot or peas, sometimes as big as chestnuts, sometimes one large stone filling the gall -sac, perhaps as large as a pigeon's egg. Certainly moderation in eating— eating only enough to maintain a nor- mal weight for one's height, age and sex, or less than enough to maintain an excessive weight (most gall -stone victims are over -weight) is a pre- ventive measure in persons inclined to gall -sae trouble. Less meat, or meat broths and more vegetables, cereals and fresh fruit. One with gall -sac trouble should keep the bowels regular, not by physic, but by diet, exercise and, habit. Salines, either in the form of na- tural spring waters .or the various saline cathartics of the druggist, are good for occasional use, not to regu- late the bowels, but to reduce en- gorgement of the portal (liver) area. Sufficient should be taken, preferably early in the morning, to produce a few watery evacuations. But abstemious habits of eating, free water drinking, and open air walking are the three best-known preventative remedies against gall- stones. • Sound Advice. When you reach the sixties, take care, and you'll reach the seventies. Increase your care and you will glide happily into the eighties. At the age of sixty at the latest, you must form fresh habits, for great changes then take place in the body. There is a loss of weight; the bones !become fragile; no fresh blood -cells 1 are formed, and the tissues waste away. There is, too, a great decrease of digestive power. You must eat less, because the worn human machine is not capable of consuming so much fuel. Food is the body's fuel. You must greatly decrease your consump- tion of meat, and let milk in the form of puddings, soup, etc., form a large part of your diet. Moderation must be your motto, You must eat slowly, and masticate your food thoroughly. If you aro toothless, it is worth ten years of your life to renew . them artificially. Go to the dentist. Touch nothing which is hard to digest, and avoid pastry and all spiced dishes. Keep, placid; never get excited or angry. Sleep eleven hours, and take an after- noon nap. Seek the fresh air; take unfatiguing exercise, but 'ware draughts. The above are the golden rules which guarantee a good old age. CANADA'S GRAIN CPOP. Great Revival in Trade Coming. All who are pessimistic about com- mercial conditions in Canada just now should read "Our Great Revival in Trade", an article by the well-known trade expert, W. L. Edmonds which appears in The Canadian Magazine for February. According to deduc- tions made by Mr Edmonds from Government reports, the farmers were urged by the Department of agricul- ture at Ottawa to make an effort to produce 250,000,000 bushels of wheat, That would have been nearly 89,000,- 000 bushels more than in 1914, or an increase of about 55 per cent. But they did a great deal better than that. They raised 336,258,000 bushels, an increase of 108 per cent. Of oats the soil yielded 481,000,000 bushels, an in- crease of forty-six per cent.; barley, 50,808,000 bushels, an increase of thirty-seven per cent.; rye, 2,478,588 bushels, an increase of 1812 per cent.; flax, 12,604,700 bushels, an increase of nearly forty per cent. The total in- crease in these five grains was 347,- 777,700 bushels; or sixty-five per cent. In quantity the root and fodder crops were smaller than in 1b14, but their value, according to the figures issued by the Statistical Bureau, was larger by $4,152,000 than that of the previous year, being placed at $230; L379,000. No official valuation of the grain crops has yet been made by the Bur- eau, but experts of the Department of Agriculture estimate that the ag- gregate value of all crops (grain, fodder and roots) will be $250,000,- 000 in excess of 1914. If this estim- ate is correct, the total will be about $888,580,000 compered with $638,- 580,300 the previous year, a grain of about forty per cent. The foregoing does not include the $345,000,000 in orders placed by the Shell Committee or those orders ob- i tained by private companies direct. Oversight. "You're Iooking well." 1 "You betcha!
