DISEASE IS DUE TO BAD BLOOD To Cure Common Ailments the Blood Must be Made Rich and Red. Nearly all the disea<%s that af- flict humanity are caused by had blood â€" weak, watery blood â€" poison- ed by impurities. Bad blood is the cause of headaches and backaches, .lumbago and rheumatism ; debility and indigestion, neuralg'ia and other nerve troubles, and disfigur- ing skin diseases like eczema and gait rheum show how impure the blood actually is. No use trying a different remedy for each disease, because they all spring from -the one cause â€" bad bood. TV> cure any of these troubles you must get right down to the root of the trouble in the blood, and that is just what Dr. Williams' Pink Pil'.s • do. They make new, rich blood and thus cure these diseases when common medi- cine fails. Mrs. John Jackson, Woodstock, Ont., suffered from both nervous troubles and a run- down condition and experienced a complete cure through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She says : "I was a sufferer for a number of years from neuralgia, and a general debility of the nerves and system. I had tried several doctors and many medicines, but to no avail u.i- til I began Dr. WUlianis' Pink Pilh . At the tiipe I began the Pills I had grown so bad that I could hardly ba on my feet, and was forced to wear elastic bandages about the ankles. The pain I suffered at times frc-m the ne^iralgia was ter- rible. I had almost given up hope when I began the us« of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. In the course of B few weeks I felt a^ improvement, and I gladly continued the use of the Pills until I was once more quite well and able to attend to all my household duties.'' It you are ailing begin to cure yourself to-day with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box or six bo.xes for 82.50. from The D-.

"Long live Queen Elizabeth, a great sovereign, but above every- thing else, a great, a good, and a true woman," was the toast drunk to Belgium's Queen at a banquet of the Municipality of Brussels, long before the war became a reality. "A great, a good, and a true wo- man." It is a phrase which is in no sense an exaggeration of the vir- tues of the Queen, whose heroic deeds since the War of the Nations broke out were only to be expected from one who was idolized by her husband's subjects, and known among them as the "Angel Queen.'' It is fourteen years ago since King Albert wooed and won the daughter of Duke Charles Theo- dore of Bavaria,'^ who was so fam- ous as an oculist. Inheriting that kindliness of heart and considera- tion for the weaknesses of others which led her father to establish a free hospital at Munich, where he performed over 5,000 operations on the poor. Queen Elizabeth has al- ways striven to ameliorate the lot of those in distress. When still in Antwerp, King Al- bert said to the Belgian Prime Min- ister: 'If necessary, you, my dear Minister, and I will take our rifles and go into the battle." 'So will I," added the Queen, "and with me all the Belgian women.' Queen Elizabeth has kept this pledge, for sdie is constantly on the battlefield aiding the wounded, cheering the fighters, and comforting her hus- band. Kept Hor Plcdso. No sooner had she placed her three children â€" Prince Leopold, born in 1901, Prince Charles, born in 1903, and Princess Marie-Jose, bom in 1906 â€" in the care of Lord Curzon of Kedleston, at Bofdng- stoke, when the Kaiser and his Magical Effect on .^eiiral^ia Tlirobbiiigraiiiiloesljiikily A YEAR'S SUFFERER CURED BY "NERVILINE." No person reading this need ever again suffer long from Neuralgia. Nerviline will quickly cure the worst Neuralgia, and Mrs. G. Evans, in her strong letter wrftten from Rus- sel post office, says: â€" "One long year, the longest of my life, was almost en- tirely given up to treating dreadful attacks of Neuralgia. The agony I experienced during some of the bad attacks waa simply unmentionable. To use remedies by the score without permanent relief was mighty discour- aging. At last I put my faith in Ner- viline; I read of the wonderful pain- subduing power it possessed and made up my mind to prove ft valuable or useless. Nerviline at once eased the pain and cured the headache. Con- tinuous treatment with this magic- working remedy cured me entirely and I have ever since stayed well." Mrs. HJvan's case is but one of hun- dreds that might be quoted. Nervi- line is a specific for all nerve, muscu- lar or joint pain. It quickly cures neuralgia, sciatica, lumbago, lame back, neuritis and rheumatism. Forty years in use, and to-day the most widely used liniment in the Domin- ion. Don't take anything but "Ner- viline," which any dealer anywhere can supply in large 50c. family size bottles, or in a small 23c. trial size. SI RE OF 1)1.H0RTAL FA.ME. Man Who May Succeed in Rwaptur- ine .Hetz. Ever since Marshal Bazaine sur- rendered the capital of Lorraine certain keys of the gates of Metz, Bays the Boston Herald, have been held in Paris awaiting the time when trance should reclaim the city, which up to that disastrous day in 1*70 had never been conquer- ed as a fortress by an enemy. One of the centres of conflict to- day is the region between Metz and Verdun, and French aviators are scouting over the city and dropping bomibs upon its great circle of forts. La Pucelle, as the city has been called because of its impregnability, is far stronger to-day than half a century ago, yet the forts were in- tact when the capitulation yielded 175,000 prisoners of war to the Ger- mans and left the road to Paris open without obstacle to their troops. A new chain of forts has been built since 1899, and Metz and Strassburg are now the chief fort- resses oif the western frontier of the German enii>ire. The man who succeeds in taking Metz will insure for himself an im- mortality of fame measurable only by the depths of chagrin and the furious anger 'uto which its loss plunged the people of France. Gam- .betta had escaped from Paris iu a balloon and was earning the ad- miration of the world by his super- human exertions at Tours. Bazaine had fought well in Algeria, Spain and the Crimea, and had been the leader of the French in Mexico in the time of Maximilian. Opinions will always differ as to the degree of his culpability for the surrender of October 27, 1870. Three years after he was tried by courtmartial and sentence<l to de- gradation and death. The sentence was commuted to imprisonment for twenty years. But the condemna- tion was doubtless due in part to the necessity of making some con- cession to the po>pular cry for ven- geance and a victim. Through all these intervening years the French people have cherished the memory of that fallen capital, and, charac- teristically, they have draped monu- ments for its fall and treasured the keys that were brought safely away when the army of the Rhine march- ed out of the gate*. No event would cause such a frenzy of rejoicing throughout F'rance as the capture of Metz. -li A MOTHER'S PRAISE OF BABY'S OWN TABLETS Mrs..

Queen Elizabeth of Belgium Huns, violating the neutrality of j her huisband's country, invaded Bel- 1 gium, than she hurrietl back to the j King's side, insisting on sharing his dangers and discomforts. "I am not a Queen at present. I am a fellow-sufferer and h*lper." she re- plied, in a eJmple, dignified tone, | when her husband and his officers urged her to leave the zone of dan- ger. As a nurse and th* organizer of hospital equipment. Queen Eliza- beth has rendered invaluable aid. Before her marriage she gave seri- ous attention to the study of medi- cine, and after some years obtained a degree of M.D. at Leipsic, being of great service to her father in his many good works, and herself gain- ing experience in surgical affairs. Is FractiiuNMiuded. Apart, however, from hospital and nursing work. Queen Elizabeth has given further evidence of her practical-mindedness by her inter- est in the industries of the people, and her endeavors to further their work, .\fter the funeral of King Leopold, who died in 1909, Queen Elizabeth did a patriotic thing in a characteristically w<«nianly way. She gave orders for large quanti- tiets of Brussels lace to be used for her robes of State when she came out of mourning, and for her oi-di- nary dresses. This was at a time when, for various reasons, Brussels la<'e had ceaseti to please its own country, and the industry requii-ed a fillip. And it was Queen Eliza- beth who provide<l that fillip in a manner which gladdened the hearts of the lace-makers of the country. The home life of tiie King and Queen of Belgium has always been of the happiest description. Their favorite ho.bby is the study of the violin, of which they are both ex- tremely fond, and one of the nK>st popular pictures in Belgium is that which depicts King Albert reading while his wife helps Prince Leopold to master the violin. BELCilANSTO SHOW ENGLISH. Refugees Will Inj^truet in Secrets of Intensive Cultivation. England is to reap benefits from the agricultural skill of the Belgian farmers who are e.xiles in Great Bri- tain. As a token of their apprecia- tion of Englisih hospitality, the Queen of the Belgians has suggest. ed that the agriculturalists from her country instruct English farm- ers in the system of intensive culti- vation which has made Belgium famous the world over. A committee headed by Sir Rich- ard Paget has been appointed, and arrangements are being made to delegate Belgian experts who will direct their fellow-countrj-men in preparing Erfglish land for intensive cultivaticn. The English and Bel- gians alike are eager to have all Belgians return to their homes as soon as possible, but. meantime, there is a desire to make the Bel- giems as little burden as possible on England and the agricultural colony plan has been hit upon as a desir- able means of employing Belgians where they will not be in direct competition with Englishmen. As many as five crops of vegeta- bles are grown in a single year by the Belgians on tracts under glass. Only rough frames with ordinary glass are required for this work. "The Belgian farmers are able to make these themselves, and, in many places in England they are already employed preparing the frames. The Belgian knowledge of soil cul- ture is the secret of the great suc- cess the farmers of the little king- dom have achieved. A tiny tract of land is sufficient to support a Belgian family in comfort, and the refugees are willing to impart their I knowledge of soil treatment to their j English hosts, who are in no sense | competitors in the Continental mar- kets dominated by the Belgian gar- deners. GERMAN UIPLUITY. Military Orders at Liege Were Dated "Liege 19««." At the University of Liege, which was all knocked to pieces, I ran into something that oonvinoed me beyond doubt of the responsibility for this war, writes A. E. Cantrell, an American who recently escaped from Belgium. Yellow German military orders were pasted up in a good many ' places. They had the German arms at the top, and were dated from the city of Liege; '1906, " printed on the orders, had been crossed out and ''1914' written in with pencil, i "Kie posters were all the same coior. a kind of dark yellow, and of different shapes and sizes. I saw , them principally around the Place de rOpera. They were on regular bulletin boards and in some cases pasted to the walls of buildings. : Some were long and narrow. st.'me , broader than they were long, and some were about the size of a sheet of paper for typewriting The post- ers included orders, such as that no | drinks other and stronger than beer and w-ine should be sold. I remeni- ; ber one that said persons having ' horses for ?ale might bring them to : a certain place. Every one of the , posters was headed, in German, ' "City of Liege." And every one had the printed date "1906" crossed; out in blue pencil and "1914'' writ- j ten with the same pencil. The Kaiser was eight years late getting to Liege. DangprouH Wood .ik'ohol. There is an enormous amount of wood alcohol used in the trades â€" about 8,000,000 gallons per annum. About 4,000,000 workers are more or leaa exp<'«|d to inhalation of it, and it has bsen shown by investi- gators to be exceedingly dangerous. Heretofore we have thought of wood alechol as dangerous chiefly in re- lation to its effects when taken into the stomach, but it ako is very- injurious when inhaled. Legisla- tion is urgently called for providing for better ttan ordinary ventila- tion in establishments handling the wood alcohol, and also for the label- ling oi all articles containing it. Regulation has been strongly re- sisted by manufacturers, particu- larly those interested in the mak- ing of perfumes, into which deodor- ized wood alcohol enters largely. Wiii QuicKiy Cure Any Sour Stomacl) Relieves Fullneis After Meals "When I was working around the farm last winter. I had an attack of in- flammation," writes Mr. E. P. Dawkins, of Port Richmond. "I was weak for a long time, but well enough to work until spring. But something went wrong with my bowels for I had to use salts or physic all the time. My stomach kept sour, and always after eating there was pain and fulness, and all the symptoms of intestinal indi- gestion. Nothing helped me until I used Dr. Hamilton's PlUs. Instead of hurting. like other pills, they acted very mildly, and seemed to heal the bowels. I did not require large doses to get results with Dr. Hamilton's Pills. and feel so glad that I have found a mild yet certain remedy. To-day I am wellâ€" no pain, no sour stomach, a good appetite, able to digest anything. This is a whole lot of good for one medicine to do, and I can say Dr. Hamilton's Pills are the best pills, and my letter, 1 am sure proves It."
