Beealey, Mille Roche, Ont., writes: "I ha. used Baby's Own Tablets for the past eight months and would not be without them. I used them for indigestion and teeth- ing end my baby is cutting his teeth without any trouble whatever. I can highly. recommend the Tabieta to other mothers." 'What Mrs. Beesley bays thousands of other mothers say. The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach, thus driving out constipation and in- digestion and making teething easy. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. HOWICK Plowing Competition.—.The Howick Junior Farmers' Association' Plowing Competition was judged last Tuesday by Mr. James McLean, of Richmond Hill. Mr. McLean is a past master in the art of plowing, having plowed at sixty matches and being success- ful enough to hold the Dennison Championship for three years.' This past eight years he has been judging at all the leading plowing matches including the Annual Provincial one held at Woodstock this year. Each contestant was required to have five acres of sod on his home farm. Mr. McLean took each contestant over his work and criticized it for him, thus making his work of real educational value. Mr. McLean spoke very highly of the work, his chief criticism had to do with the crown and finishes. He thinks with the quality of work Shown in this competition that Howick should put up a real Plowing Match next fall. Mr. JameslWarrel was the successful contestant. He wins the Silver Cup donated by the Howick -Township Council. This Cup, suitably engraved, will be presented. to the winner by the Hon. Manning W. Doherty, Minister of Agriculture, at the meeting held in Wingham on November 15th. The score of the ten contestants is as follows: James Warrel, 921/2; Hartwell Strong, 92; Roy Strong, 911/2; Jack Montgomery, 87; Norman 'Harbing, 86/; Arthur Spotton, 85; Emerson Downey, 811/2; Earl Corbett, 801/2; William Camp- bell, 80; Earl Johnston, 79%. COME TO DEFENCE OF LORD KITCHENER It may be doubted if the damage to a great reputation done by.Lord Esher's "Tragedy of Lord Kitchener" will be repaired until, in the future, somebody else. writes a biography of the hen the book first appeared a tish Secretary of few mar, onths ago, the standing of Lord Esher and the fact that be appeared to write like a sympathetic if candid friend and even confidant of Lord Kitchener kept critics dumb. He spoke so con- fidently and yet with an appearanre of such fairness that the -admirers of Lord Kitchener were ddr�iven to the sad conclusion that they had been mistaken, that their idol had feet of clay, and that he had been tremen- dously overrated as a soldier and administrator. Now that the first shock of the revelations is over these admirers are beginning to find their voices and from many quarters come emphatic protest against Esher's . book with' its misleading title. People are asking what reason was there to write such a book even if it had been a true picture, which, they as- sert, is not. They are even suggest- ing that Lord Esher was by no means the author who should have attempted the work. 'Blackwood's Magazine takes Lord. Esher to task on genera Lawson, but Lt. -Gen. Sir'Henry a soldier who served with distinc- tion in the Egyptian and South Afri- can 'campaigns, writes in the e book Nine- teenth Century discussing in detail and setting forth the belief that Kitchener was not over -rated and that never in his long career did he perforin such great service to his country as after the outbreak of the Great War. In the view of Sir Henry, Kitchener did more than any other Englishman 'to defeat the 'army, 'even though he did mot live to see that defeat achieved. He is able to quote Earl Haig on this point. The -British S`' ield-Marshal said, Who can doubt that but for this man and his work Germany would have been victorious? Per- ' baps the victory would have come to us' sooner had -he been with' us to the end." This- judgment of a soldier would seem to be worth the judgment of a dozen nolitie1aue. LordEsher's peculiar disqualifies, 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.60 tion for' writing an . unprejudiced .i by writing direct to The Dr. Williams' history is challenged by Sir Henry I Medicine Co., Dropkville, Ont. even- Kitchener and to give their full weight to 'criticisms which involved not only his friends, but himself." It was jKitc'hener who . put an end to the policy of limited liability assistance to France which the Com- mittee had adopted. He foresaw a long and desperate war -and the necessity of raising an army of mil- lions of men. A few days before he sailed upon the Hampshire he said in the House of Commons: "Such an idea was contrary to the theory of all European soldiers, could he expanded within limits, but could not be created in time of war. I felt myself that though there might be some justice in this view, I had to take risks and embark upon what might be regarded as -a gigan- tic experiment." In disproof of the Esher theory that Lord Kitchener was no longei the strong, far-seeing, vigorous man he had been years before, General Lawson quotes the fact that one dis- tinguished soldier after another ar- gued with him and strove to convince him that his , plan—the plan that was to bloom in Kitchener's army— was an impracticable one. The Cabi- net was not with him, but Kitchener stuck to his guns and eventually forced the scheme upon his col- leagues. He blames the Cabinet in the years preceding the Great War for its failure to consult Kitchener who in a letter to Lord French three weeks after the outbreak of war, said: -- - "Hed I been consulted on military Matters during the last three years I would have done everything in my power to prevent the present state of things in which the country finds itself." Blackwood's blames the politicians for Lord Kitchener's troubles and also for what it considers an attempt to blacken his memory. Kitchener did not possess the qualities neces- sary for success in politics. He had spent his life in serving his country. He did not stop to gauge pressure or to accommodate divided opinions. "The mere aspect of twenty-three middle-class, middle-aged or elderly civilians pretending to conduct%a war appalled him.... It was not Lord Kitchener's business from 1914 on- wards to conciliate the politicians. It was his duty to create an army which the politicians had neither the wish nor the capacity to create." As Blackwood's says, it is by his posi- tive virtues that Lord Kitchener will be remembered, not by negative fail- ings, which had nothing to do with the crowning triumph of his career, the creation of Kitcheu'er's Army. KEEP HEALTHY DURING WINTER Colds and Diseases May he Avoid- ed if the Blood is Kept Pure. Do not let your blood get thin this winter. For people who have a ten- dency towards anaemia, or bloodless- ness, winter is a trying season. Lack of exercise and fresh air, and the more restricted diet, are among the many things that combine to lower the tone of the body and deplete the blood. As soon as you notice the tired feel- ing, lack of appetite and shortness of breath that are warning symptoms of thin blood, take a short course of treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Do not wait until the color has entirely left your cheeks, until your lips are white and your eyes dull. 'It is so much easier to correct thinning of the blood in the earlier stages than later. This is well illus- trated in the case of Mrs.. E. Wil- liams, Elk Lake, Ont., who says: take great pleasure in letting you know the benefit I have found in the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I was in an aneamic condition,. and. was very weak and run down. The least, exertion would leave me breathless and it was 'with difficulty that I did household work. I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and after the 'bse of four boxes I felt like a new person. In fact my system seemed filled with .new energy and new life. I strongly recommend this medicine to hll Who feel weak or run down." The purpose of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is to build up the blood. They do this one thing and they do it well. They are for this reason an invalu- able remedy in diseases arising from bad or defijcient blood, as rheumatism, neuralgia, after-effects of the grip or fevers. The pills are guaranteed to be free from opiates or any harmful drug and cannot injure .the most deli- cate system.
