CROSS, SICKLY BABIES Sickly babies—those who are cross and fretful; whose little stomach and 'ooweis are out of order; who- suffer from constipation, indigestion, colds or any other of the minor ills of little encs, can be promptly cured by Babys' Own Tablets, Concerning them Mrs. Jean Paradis, St. Bruno, Que., writes: "My baby was very ill and vomited all his food. He was cross and -.cried night and day and nothing helped him till I began using Baby's Own . Tablets. They soon set him right and now' he is a fat, healthy boy." The Tablets are gold by medicine dealers or by mail t at 25 Bents a, box` from The Dr. Wil- liams itliau s Medicine Co„ Brockville, Ont. ALLEN B Y OF MONS AND JERUSALEM General Sir Edmund Allenby's occu- pation of Damascus breaks forever the grip of the Turk on Palestine and Syria, and it entitles the commander of that magnificent British army to take rank with the most brilliant generals developed in the war. Like d'Espersey, there are no failures, no heK- achievements, in, Allehby's re-' cord. He has been in the war from the very beginning,and commanded the, heroic cavalry in the Old Con- temptibles, and .perhaps to his dar- ing, and, as it appeared, desperate use of the cavlary as a screen to -cover the retreat from Mons, is due more than to any other cause the. fact that a remnant of the first Brit - h expeditionary force to France survived. Probably there is not Al- lenby's equal living as a commander of cavalry, and if for no other rea- son, his genius in this respect sug- gested him as a suceesor to Sir Archibald Murray for a campaign in which mounted troops were ob- viously to pla • so important a part. from Mons, he escaped without a scratch.° He commanded the right wing of the British . forces in the battle of Arras in 1917, and was credited with; eine`, of the most successful of€ensives undertaken by the allies up to that time. When hd went to Palestine he was subjected to much uniformed criticism, because of his obstinate re- fusel to move his army against the Turks; , He was of the Kitchener school, and declined to gt forward until he had at his command all, the 1 .inen and war material that he saw was necessary • for his task. The fact that his inactivity was giving the German led Turk1nore time in which to prepare for . his advance did not trouble - Allenby. So he waited imperturably until his great organ- ization was complete to the least detail, and then the nett moment launched his blow, - Few events of the war have thrill-- - ed Christian people morethan the capture of Jerusalem by Allenby's army, and by the manner of entry 1 into the city by the Commander and his orncere. " Instead of entering on horseback with -.military pomp they went - on foot as pilgrims might ap- proach a shrine. On a par with his military triumph was his capture of the heart of the li/osl. m population' about him., He issued proclama- tion assuring them that they had nothing to fear, .but might . go about their ordinary business in safety. He guarded their sacred places and over those especially dear to the Moslems he placed Moslem guards. His fame spread, rapidly and through all that a great country his mane is now a household , word, as was Kitchener's in Egypt, or perhaps that of `Gordon, . whom he more near- ly resembles. Already legends about Gen. - Allenby have sprung up, the most interesting one beim that has capture of Jerusalemn was loag ago foretold in sacred writings. - There has been current among the Arabls for eenturies the prophecy that "He -who shall save Jerusalem and 'exalt her among the nations will enter the city on foot, and hie.. name will be 'God, the prophet," So the Atabs see in Allenby's name the equivalent of"God the prophet," for they call: him "Allah Nabil' which has pre- cisely this .meaning.

These words that were applied to the beloved and lamented General Maude, "the gentlest conqueror who ever took a city," would equally well describe Allenby. As became a young aristocrat of or 40 vears ago, he entered the amity` with a commission in the' Innisk€fling Dragoons, and was said at the time to have looked •the part of aashing cavalryman as well as one of Ouida's heroes. At the age of ,23 he 'had his first introduction to warfare, for he served in the Bechuanaland expedition, and four years later in 1884 was through r the Zulu campaign, becoming adjutant He had already attracted the atten- tion of leis superiors by his courage and a sagacity that seemed to have something of the quality of instinct. He itext served through the South African war, and was pitted against no less formidable an antagonist than General Delarye. For his work there he was twice mentioned in despatches, and was decorated by the British Government. All this ex- Perience, of course, was child's play .._`,compared with the tremendous task that was thrust upon his shoulders 'when the present war broke out and he was placed in command of the c' a1ry division of the British force. But Allenby never lost his head for a moment in the most des- perate encounters, and though he used himsel fte death a hundred times in the course of the retreat WEAK BOYS AND GIRLS ewart Brom.: oftwolosommogimarminiiimmiNftwaSog s and Phone ;Orders Carefully .rifled Stewart Eros Come atilt See Them le is a inistake'to think that anaemia is only a girl's complaint. Girls prob- ably show the effect of weak, water' blood more plainly than boys. De- land d development, pale faces, head- aches, palpitation, and a feeling of listlesness, call attention to weak blood in the case of girls. But many boys in their teens grow thin and "weedy" and have pimples on the face, showing that they have not enough blood. The anaemic bey is just as likely to become a victini of consump- tion as the pale, breathless girl with her headaches and worn out lobi. Let the boy in this condition. catch cold and he will lose his strength and his health becomes precarious. To prevent serious disaster to those of the rising generation, let both boys and girls be given new rich blood which Dr.Williams Pink Pill$ are fam. ous the world over for making, When giving these pills watch how soon the appetite returns and how the languid girl or the weak boy becomes full oc activity and high spirits. Re- member that the boy . has to - develop, too, if he is to make a strong healthy man. Give the boys and girls a fair chance to develop strongly through the new rich blood Dr. Wil- liams Pink Pills actually make. You will then see active boys and girls, instead of weak children around you.
