mi STRENUOUS WORK \ SOON TELLS ON YOU i â€" Business Men and Breadwinners the Victims of Nervous Exhaustion. When worry Is added to overwork men soon become the victims of ner- vous exhaustion â€" neurasthenia â€" â-  the doctor calls It. Some have no reserve Btrength In their systems to bear the strain; others overtax what strength they have. If you find that you are nervou.s and not sure of yourself, that yon sleep badly, and wake up tired and aching, ycur nerves are out of crder. Other signs are Inability to take pro- per interest In your work; your appe- tite is fickle; your back feels weak, and you are greatly depressed in spir- its. One or more of these signs mean that you should take prompt steps to stop mischief by nourishing the nerves with the food they thrive oa. namely the rich red blood made by Dr Wil- liams' Pink Fills. These pills have cured thousands of cases of nervous disorders, including nervous prostra-' tlcn, neuralgia, St. Vitus dance and partial paralysis. Here Is an example: Mr. P. H. Callan. a well known busi- ness man In Coleman, P.E.I. , says: "I owe my present health, if not life itself, to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I had always been an active man, and when I began to run down In health -paid little attention to It as I thought It only a temporary weakness. As time passed, however. I found myself growing worse, and consulted a doctor, who said that I was not oiUy badly run down, but that my nervous system was badly shattered. I lost flesh, my appetite was poor, 1 slept badly and notwithstanding the doctor's treatment grew so weak that I had to leave my business and was confined to the Kouse. Time went on and I was stead- ily growing weaker and my friends were all greatly alarmed for my con- dition. In this condition I was strong- ly recommended to try Dr Williams' Pink Pilhi. and as the doctor's medi- cine was not helping me I decided to do so. By the time I had used three boxes I could tell that they were help- ing me. When I had taken eight boxes of tbe pins I felt able to attend to my business again, and people were sur- prised to see me out. I continued the ise of the pills until I had taken twelve boxes, by which time I was feeling as well as ^er I did, and was being con- gratulated by all my friends on my full restoration to health. I feel now that if I had used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at the outset I would not only have saved much money spent in doc- to«-'s tlUs. but would have had renewed health sooner. I cannot speak too highly of thi« medicine, and would recommend It to every man who feels weak, nervous or run down. " You can get these pills through any medicine dealer, or by mail at 50 cents a box, or six boxes fcr $::.50. from The Dr. Williams* .Medicine Co., Brock- vlUe, Ont. *w WH.\T. NO BIRGL.\RS: How Criminals Have Won Distinction on the Battlefields. It's an ill wind that brings good to no one. One unforeseen result of the lonjr-drawn-out conflict has been a large drop in the population of our prisons. Only the other day Dart- moor, one of the most famous of our convict prisons, says an English writer, was converted to another use; and most gaols in all parts of Great Britain are experiencinjr an unusual dearth of fruests. j This is not due to any wholesome re- I formation on the part of our burglars, ' pickpoi'kets, and other criminals. One ; great cause is the fact that most able- , bodied professional criminals are in the .\rmy, where those opportunities for the exercise of their profession are i restricted. i Police supervision has been so much simplified by National Registration and the Conscription .-Xcts that even those criminals at large know how (lifTicuIt a "get-away" would be. .Mso the Defence of the Realm Act has put a spoke in the wheel of those cosmo- politan thieves who in normal times find a happy hunting-ground in this country. The Army has offered a career to many men who have drifted into a life of crime, and scores of them have "made good." One burglar won the V.C., and another man was awarded the Russian Cross of St. George. !

THANKFUL MOTHERS Mothers who have once used Baby's Own Tablets for their little ones are always strong in their praise of this medicine.

Age brings with it contentment and gladness, if the life has been well spent in doing good to others. That is what we are here for, and there can be no consciousness so high and exalted as that which prompts to self sacrifice in behalf of a superb prin- ciple, or to help our fellowmen, which is the same thing. To-day democracy trembles in the balance, having been ruthlessly assail- ed by a half -civilized autocrat, bent on its extinetion and the triumph of de- spotism in its place. My only regret is that age prevents the immolation of all my physical powers upon the altar of my country in this supreme crisis. The country needs you and me in this hour of her extreme peril. Would to Go<l that the body was as young and vigorous as the mind to take up the burden of overthrowing insolent despotism. I fear that many, far too many, do not realize the danger that menaces our liberties and threaten all that we hold dear and sacred in this world, otherwise there would be a more hearty response to the call for help than has yet been made. Young men of Canada, what capital for a life career have you, and what is your aim 7 Y'ou have youth, health, ambition, and those are fine possessions, if not essentials. You get them from your Maker, and good home environments. They are bor- rowed capital which you can pay back only by devoting yourself to high ideals and giving the very best that is in you. Y"ou lack experience? You will get that as you live and work along. Sometimes, you will get it in tears, failures, disappointments and scars, but it ^ill be the greatest part of your equipment if you take right advantage of it, as it comes to you, and you can borrow even this part of your life capital by studying and adopting the experience of others. In asking your aim, we do not seek to know whether you are eager to be- come a banker, a merchant, a states- man or a tradesman, as these avoca- tions appertain only to personal for- tunes and caprices. The little man with a restricted career, so to speak, small wheel on which you as a unit, among billions of other units, will go "round and round," and be at once useless and forgotten when you fall off; but there is a higher, better and more legitimate aim, by striving for which you pay off the borrowed capital of your early manhood, and you help to work out the Creator's purpose and reach true greatness. t When youth is all gone, when the fires that move men to vocational suc- cess are banked by time and the mo- notonies of life, ^en deep wrinkles and white hairs nAify the world tiiat one is passing, tne greatest of all happiness is the ability tok hone.stly pray: "Father, I thank The}, that af- ter all my years in the harness I have still some little capa-'ity and oppor- tunity to serve my fellowmen." i The greatest of all aims is service. It is not thyself first, but thy brothers. It is not your career but the world's. Not for yourself alone .should your youth, your energy, your ambition, be made to count, but for man every- 1 where. Service! ! The great men of money, like Rockefeller and Carnegie, are anxious at the la.st moment to make their I money serve mankind. The greater men, like Edison and Pasteur, labor , night and day with thought that their helpfulness may mean world progress. The writers of things that live, the scientists and inventors, from who.se restless brains spring great truths and designs that mean human comfort and happinesii, work that humanity may move upward. Service. I Young man, never before in the world was the opportunity so great, so clear for the investment of your cap- ital â€" youth, energy, high purpose â€" in human service. On one side is civiliz- ation: upon the other. barl>8rism with reversion to the bea.st. This is the is- sue. Shall public service be the living and working for liberty, equality and progress ? Or, shall public service in the work of slaves that would fasten on humanity a reversion under which "might is right," li!)erty a silly dream, and equality doled out by the bloody sword of autocrats ? The only true Service is work for the Fatherhood of God and the Bro- therhood of man! . . . . I The young Canadian who shoulders a rifle to-day, or takes his place be- hind a ship's gun, has writ before him high in the skies. Service for Human- ity I It is his mission. It is his chance for living worth while, for happiness and true nobility. It is doubtful if he will ever again find open to him such an investment, wherein the capital required is not money, nor power, nor pull, but solely genuine manhood. Youth of free Canada! free born in martyr's blood and mother's sacrifice, shrivel not up in your personal affairs, but rally round the Hag of your coun- try. Strike, that humanity shall, under God, have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people shall not perish from the earth I Volunitr 2 K^ADY This oontaniporiury hiatory of Ui« Canadian Expeditionary Porca taancd by th* Canadian Oovtrunent, la official.

In spite of careful husbanding of all our agricultural resources, some of them may go to waste through de- plorable thoughtlessness. The selling of fruit blossoms on street corners may bring joy to winter-weary city dwellers; but it will also interfere with fruit production later on when we most need apples, pears and peaches for their food value. i The blossom season lasts but a few- weeks each spring, and the flowers are e.xccedingly short-lived, so that they make but an evanescent decoration at best. There are plenty of other flow- ers, a host of joyous little folk of the spring woods, which are equal in ^ ciiavm to any florist's offering, and , which may be plucked without harm- ful results. Provided th:it their roots are left in the ground they will come i up another year with greater vim than ' ever, .^nd for larger sprays and | bank effects the dogwood and tlie li- ' lac will grow all the better after se- ective cutting of their blooms.

Lift your corns and calluses off with finders â€" It's like magic! Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or any kind of a corn, can harmlessly be lifted right out with the lingers if you apply upon the corn a few drops of freezone, says a Cincinnati authority. For little cost one can get a small bottle of freezone at any drug store, which will positively rid one's feet of every corn or callus without pain. This simple drug dries the moment it is applied and does not even irri- tate the surrounding skin while ap- plying it or afterwards. This announcement will interest many of our readers. If your drug- gist hasn't any freezone tell him to surely g*t a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house. Mtinard'B Llnlmaat laombarman's mend. Hi- Always Had.

Massey. the New Zealand Premier, reports that so far 250 re- turned soldiers had been settled on the land in New Zealand under the Government scheme to provide 5.000 of her fighting men with a new start in life. "The men we are settling in this way," he said, "fall into six clas.ses. First, the man who wants to breed sheep and requires a large area of country â€" perhaps up to -i.OOO acres. Then comes the dairy farmer with, say, '200 acre* for .')0 cows, which we will even buy for him if necessary; the grower of wheat or another crop, 100 ajres; the fruit grower, 20 acres: the poultry farmer, with ten acres, near a city; and, last, the incapacitat- ed man, who wants an acre or two in the suburbs on which he can earn something to augment his pension. "Of course we have not. Crown land for all these people, and in some cases we have purchased land for them up to l.'.30 an acre. They pay 5 per cent, interest for the money we advance, and in ten years' time they are given a 'free title' to the land, which they may then dispose of as they wish. The only condition we make is that the men must have been born in New Zea- land and have served in either the British army or the navy. The scheme is not confined to men who have been fighting with the New Zealand force.-." .^ I Wonder. Do fishes use the liquid tones The world so highly praises?
