A great man, a heroic general, profound scholar, passed quietly away in the person of Major-General Frederick Frederick S. Maude, the hero of the Tigris front in the great war.

Many people never realize that the movement and action of every organ of the human body is dependent on the energy supplied by the nervous system. - When the nervous system gets run down there is weakness throughout the entire body. You feel tired and languid and your stomach and other . digestive organs are similarly affected. Appetite falls, digestion is poor, you do not get the good of what you eat and gradually grow weaker and weaker. This process cam only-'.be stopped by ruch treatment as Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, which goes directly to create new nerve force and thereby to invigorate invigorate the whole human body." Mrs. Geo. A Elise, 46 Davidson street, St. Catharines, Ont., write*:- "My husband had am attack of nervous nervous prostration, and, although he doctored Tor some time and tried, different different other medicines, he could not get relief. He had to resort to sleeping sleeping powders given him by the doctor to make him sleep. The greater part of the trouble seemed to-be with th^ nerves of his stomach. He began to lose weight, and kept on going down until he had lost twenty pounds. We had read advertisements in the news- . papers for Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, and noticed that it seemed to be doing a lot of good for people troubled with nervousness, *o my husband decided to try It. He found benefit, almpet from, the start, and contlfrried = this treatment until ha^-hadr--taken- about twelve or thirteen boxes.

The Wilson idealism has come down from its lofty perch, and, we are glad j to say, has become -more ^practical | since then, and the nation now sees j clearer what lies before it. The people j of this country are readier than they were six months ago to face the truth _ and see things without need of colored colored glasses. v We know now that the German people people stand fast by their rulers, ànd have taken no note o£ the distinction so carefully drawn by the president, between the German imperial government government and the people. We -have been told bluntly that as a result of our entering the war Germany has been drawn closer together , in support of "authority" aa exercised by the kaiser. The people did not rebel and call foi reform as suggested in our president s war messagé. They evidently "believe that they have a war-machine that can command a dictated peace not only as against the U.S. but as well against the rest of the world. The reason the president failed to include Austria and the lesser allies in his call to arms was due to the same cause that distinguished a -, government government from its people in the case of Germany. He then had much reason to expect that Austria-Hmfgary would answer the American message of war on Germany with a break against thelatter, and that the'different the'different peoples in the empiré would de- tach-Themaelves from Austria proper and become democracies and insist upon a separate peace with the Entente Entente Alliance. It wastthe hope- and expectation that Bulgaria., would be moved to make terifis by rea'âon of the I Wilson distinction, and" that perhaps Turkey would get its, eyes open . and become civilized over' night. • x Wilson, it seems, expected to drive a line of cleavage between the Central Powers /and thus disrupt, them. But àt this • writing the Central Powers are as "united as they ever were--thinks to German aid in the Italian drive. There is, therefore, nothing left for this government to do but to declare war upon the Central Powers and their ally, Turkey, without favor oi; excép- doubtful about the American way of doing things, even though she dierself at the outset of the war attempted the impossibility, of distinguishing between between Austria, her sworn enemy, and Germany, the mainspring for Austrian hostility. -- x - tion.
