>• WHY YOUNG GIRLS GROW PALE AND WEAK The Blood Supply is Deficient Md Unless the Trouble is Remedied GonsMption May Follow. When girls grow weak, pale and miserable, then is the time for par- ents to talce prompt steps. Delay means danger â€" perhaps consumption. The girl in her teena cannot develop into a happy, robust woman without an abundant supply of rich, red blood in her veins. It is the lack of this good blood that is the great trouble with nine girls out of every ten. They grow weak and depressed; lose their appetite, are breathless after the slightest exertion, and suffer from headaches and backaches. When girls are in this condition there is no medicine can compare with Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. In the use of these Pills there is splendid vigorous health, with glowing cheeks and sparkling eyes, for every unhappy fragrile girl who is struggling on to womanhood in a wretched state of health. This is why thousands of girls and women, now robust and at- tractive, are constantly recommend- ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to their Buffering sex. Miss Edith Brousseau, Savona, B.C., says: "At the age of fourteen I became very anaemic. I was as pale as a ghost, suffered from headaches, severe palpitation of the heart at the slightest exertion. I had little or no appetite, and seemed to be drifting into a decline. I was at- tending high school in Vancouver at the time, and the doctor advised me to stop. I did so and took his treat- ! m^nt for some time, but it did not â-  help me in the least. Upon the ad- : vice of a friend I began ' aking Dr. [ Williams' Pink Pills, and in & vtry ' short time they gave me back com- plete health and enabled me to re- 1 Bume my studies. I have enjoyed the ; best of health since, and owe it all to ' Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." j These Pills are sold by all medicine , dealers or may be had by mail, post j paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Heard and Recorded by the Famous Correspondent, H. Hamilton Fyfe. When we came into the hospital ward a throng of soldiers in dressing- itowns was gathered round a bed on which sat a pleasant-faced fellow with his head in bandages telling them a story. They fell away with courteous movement to give us room. We saw that the pleasant face and the bandaged head belonged to a young man, who looked older, the Russian peasant Corporal Porflro Panasuk, who as long as he lives will bear marks of torture and will bear witness also to the savagery with which Germans wage war. When 1 read the first account of it I said, although it apeared in an offi- cial despatch. "It is incredible." It was hard to believe that a group of ten officers could have consented to the deliberate, cold-blooded torture of a brave soldier who, true to his duty, refused to betray information about the Russian positions. Not until I had seen and talked to their victim was I completely convinced. Since the beginning of the war Panasuk has been employed as a scout. He speaks Polish like a Pole, though he is a Russian. Disguised as a peasant, he has been frequently within the German lines, and has sel- dom failed, I am told, to bring back useful information. The Germans when they caught Panasuk might have accepted his dry- guise as genuine and hanged him as a spy if they had any evidence that lie had been spying. Civilian spies tre liable to be hanged. But they new he was a soldier. He was re- cognized as the man who had so often tricked them. I have told in telegrams what hap- pened after this brave fellow fell in- to the hands of an enemy patrol near the East Prussian frontier. He was deep in the German lines. His cap- tors took him to the nearest staff headquarters. "I was offered cigarettes, but I said I did not smoke," he told us. '.They asked me if I would like a cup of coffee. I said I did not need it. Then they said that if I liked I could be a rich man and have my own land. They would give me money if I would tell all I knew about the Russian forces and positions. I told them I knew nothing. Then the officer who was speaking to me became angry. He took me into a room where nine other officers were. Cut Ear Off. "They said that if I did not give them the information they would cut off my ears and nose, then hang me \ip head downwards. "I repeated that I could not tell them anything because I had nothing to tell, though I could have told them a great deal. Then they sent for a pair of scissors such as are used in hospitals, and, after threatening me again, one of them cut off the soft part of my ear (the lobe). It bled ail down my neck. Then, after a time, the same officer cut off another piece around the edge of my ear. He did this several times. He also struck me in the face with his fist. He broke my nose across the bridge, which makes it stick out still. He hit me on the jaw and swore at me. "At last they said I was to be lock- ed up until the morning. They sent me with a sergeant and two men. I felt '.hat my chance to .escape had como. I struck out at thb two men. The sergeant was behind. I ran, scrambled over a fence, and found myself in the fields. Shots were fired, but it was too dark for them to see me. I ran on until I could run no more. Then I hid in a deep hole. "I stayed there for a long time â€" all ; the next day I think. Then I went on j towards where I knew the Russian ' lines must be. It took me four days ' to reach them. They gave me this medal and sent me to the headquar- | ters of the Grand Duke Nicholas, | commander-in-chief. He gave me an- other medal." Here he parted his hair to show us a long scar. "My I ear, too?" he asked. "Yes, if the sis- i ter allows." The sister herself un- 1 wound the bandage. I saw the muti- ! lated ear. It was cut just as he had described. "It is healing now," she said. "Yes; it does not pain me much now," Panasuk added. "I can't hear very well with that ear, but I have ' the other. It might have been worse." I Yes, it might have been worse for him, poor fellow. If he had not es- i caped he would surely have been ! hanged or shot next day. The ruf- : fiians had no idea of letting the tale of their infamy be told. How many I more cases of torture there have been ' we shall never know. SAFETY IN TRAVKLLING. The all-steel colonist cars built by the C.P.R. fill the bill to a nicety. On the long journey to the West, these cars have to be eating and sleeping and living rooms combined. "They | must have cooking conftniences, for : one thing; and there is always more ; or less danger when several people are using the stove that accidents may happen. For that reason alone < the all-steel car comes in handy, as there is absolutely nothing to burn. | Well, therei are the cushions on the steel seats; but they could not do | much harm even if they did take fire. . The seats, floor, roof, sides â€" every bit of the ear â€" is of steel. The fire stoves ! are fixed to steel frames. Every de- | tail has been carefully thought out. The cars fill a much-felt waAt, being, ' as they are, roomy, comfortable and safe, while for three or five days the life is lived as it would be in a per- I manent residence with hardly an os- ] dilation to remind one that the cars ; are on the rails, and that they are running at the rate of 40 miles an hour. Ought to be Glad. Old as the hills was the subject of; their quarrel. She had been spend- ing more money than he thought she ', ought to. I "Did you spend as much as this be- : fore you married me?" asked the, young husband, in the thick of the j fight. "Certainly I did," replied his wife, ' drawing herself up coldly. "Father â€" " "Then I'm blest," interrupted her husband â€" "I'm blest if I know why your father made such a fuss about me taking you from him." ^ NEWS FROM ENGLAND XEWS BY MAIL ABOUT J.OHN BILL A>'D HIS PEOPLE.

GERMANS ARE CLOSE TO ROYAin MANY PROMINENT TEUTONS IN GREAT BRITAIN. Many Titled Financiers in Britain are Also Germans Naturalized and Otherwise. The public rage in Great Britain against Prince Louis of Battenberg and Prince Christian of Schleswig- Holstein, because of their German birth, touches very close to the throne. In addition there are the Duchess of Albany and the Duchess of Connaught, also members of the King's immediate family, who are of German blood, as well as the wife of ex-King Manuel of Portugal, 'a Ho- henzollern princess, who has become an intimate friend of the King and Queen since she came to London as a bride a year and a half ago. Prince Louis of Battenberg, since his resignation as First Sea Lord, has spent most of his time out of London. Princess Louis of Batten- berg is the eldest sister of the Czar- ina of Russia and the Grand Duchess Serge, but these connections with Bri- tain's ally do not offset the fact, as far as the English people are concern- ed, that she is also the sister of Prin- cess Henry of Prussia, and of the Grand Duke of Hesse, an officer in the German army. Prince Christian of Schleswig-Hol- stein has been a naturalized British subject for thirty-nine years, but he has remained very German in his mode of life, which is now unb.par- ably offensive to his former friends in England, besides which his only living son is an officer in a Prussian regiment. The eldest son gave his life to Great Britain in the Boer War, but the younger son. Prince Albert, the heir to the Duke of Schleswig- Holstein, the German Empress's bro- ther, threw in his fortunes with his father's native country, althougli Prince Albert was himself bom in England. His sisters, Princess Vic- toria and Princess Marie Louise of Schleswig-Holstein, have been indefa- tigable in working for the British sol- diers. A Disloyal Prince.

The brightness and comfort thawed the heart of the oldest lodger. In an expansive moment he turned toward the landlady, who was his only companion in the room, and, clasping her hands fondly, murmur- ed: "Will you be my wife?" The woman did not start nor blush. No maidenly coyness shone from her clear, cold eyes. "No, sir," she repliet', with calm deliberation. "I'm sorry, but I can- not marry you.
