I«S •-• BATTLE IN FLA^fDERS. Guns Heard LOOKING OLD TOO SOON rhe Condition of Too Many Wo- men and Too Many Girls. Too many women and too many grls look old long before they should. leir faces become pale and drawn; nrrinkles appear and their eyes lack brightness. Can this be wondered at when they so frequently have head- aches, backaches and a general feel- ' the flowerVbef ore breakfast- ing of wretchedness and weakness? In most cases it is the blood that is to blame. From one cause or another the blood has become thin and watery, and it is a fact that anaemia (blood- lessness) more than any other cause, gives women this prematurely aged appearance. It is important that the blood supply of girls and women be regularly replenished â€" important not only on the score of looks, but to restore robust health, which is of Srreater value. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood and restore the system shattered by over- work or worry. These pills give a In Southern Roaring England. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, writing in the current issue of Colliers', tells how the roar of the guns in Flanders is heard at his home. The author lives near the summit of Crowbor- ough Beacon, in northern Sussex, England. He writes: I am down at 8 and walk among Hark to that sound breaking in upon the peace of this sweet summer morning! It is very faint and very far, and yet with a deep throb in it which tells of infi- nite power. There it is again rising a little and then falling, like a thun- derous surge upon a distant beach. There is no doubt at all about the sound. It is that of the guns in Flan- ders. It is 120 miles as the crow flies, and it might well have appeared incredible, but you have also to re- member that we are 700 feet high and that there is a very steady easterly wind.

Both in the number of births and ;he marriages in Berlin, Germany; the effect of the war is slowly but Burely being indicated. The former, during July of this year, dropped off by 25 per cent., and the latter in August showed an even more marked ; "pu^^,„>^ decrease. The number of births in the entire city for July was but 2415, as against S224 in July, 1914. This falling off has gradually been increasing, as far as percentage is concerned. Though figures for August are not yet avail- able, it is believed that an even great- er decrease will be found. The big residential suburb of Wil- mersdorf, one of the largest in Berlin, gives a line on the ever-decreasing marriages in the city. In all of August, 1915, only 62 weddings took place in Wilmersdorf, as against 264 one year ago. Many of the latter, it is true, were so-called "war wed- dings," marriagres performed ahead of schedule time in order that the men could go to war, but in 1913, a normal year, 78 weddings took place.

German Device Propels Stream of Liquid Fire. i One of the liquid flame projectors, by means of which the Germans took I on July 30 the positions at Hooge, ' from which they were driven on Aug- i ust 9, has been captured. It resem- | bles a metal pack in shape and is car- j ried on the back. The inflammable ' liquid, some kind of coal tar prepara- tion, is kept under pressure in the ; tank, and its flow Is regulated by means of a tap and a pressure gauge on a length of tubing. In the nozzle of the tube is a wick, which, when the flame projector is ready for use, is ignited by some chemical producing a fierce flame which ignites the liquid as it passes out in a stream. Thus the liquid is- sues from the nozzle in a broad stream of flame. CHILDHOOD AILMENTS Ailmentt such as constipation, colic, colds, vomiting, etc., seize children of all ages, and the mother should be on her guard against these troubles by keeping a box of Baby's Own Tablets In the house. If any of these troubles come on suddenly the tablets will cure them, or if the little one is given an occasional dose of the tablets he will escape these troubles. The tablets .are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Kind words never die, but the un- kind live quite long enough. Half an Hour After a Meal One Is Hungry Again in Austria. Three young women, named Hirst, have arrived at Skelmanthorpe, near Huddersfield, England, from Reichen- berg, Austria, where still remain their father and mother, one sister, and two brothers. Their father, a plush finisher, emigrated from Huddersfield fifteen years ago. Their reason for returning to Eng- land is that they were unable to ob- tain work except in the ammunition factories. The cost of living, they say, has gone up 100 per cent., and their father was unable to suport the whole family. No obstacle was placed in their way when they requested to be allowed to return to England, and the United States Consul advanced them the necessary money. They were detained ten days at Vienna while inquiries were being made and passports secured. The Austrian capital appeared as before the war, but the dancing halls were closed. Regarding the food in Austria the young women stated in an interview that the bread, obtained on the ticket system as in Germany, is made chief- ly from maize flour, so that it resem- bles yellow sponge cake. "Half an hour after a meal one is hungry again." In Austria people are told that food in England is at famine prices, that England desires peace, and that the British public is terror- ized by Zeppelins. Much was made in .Austria at Christmas of the east coast bombard- ment, and the Misses Hirst were amazed to learn that Scarborough is much as usual. It was freely said that England had scarcely any army at all, and the idea of raising new armies was much ridiculed. Lord Kitchener, it was stated, was making himself the laughing stock of Europe with his army of criminal.^, convicts, and tramps, men who had not done any work for years because no one would employ them. So much concerned were the Misses Hirst about the new British army that when they reached Paris they ran tv> to the first man they saw in khaki to have a good look at him. "He was not a tramp," said one of the young women, "but a Colonial who was much amused when told of the reason for the curious eyes we turned upon him." England was everywhere in Aus- tria blamed for the war, and gold \ rings were to be had bearing the in- scription "Gott strafe England." * BRITAIN'S MAIN OBJECTS. Recruiting, War Loan Subscriptions, and "Thrift." How many million of dollars the British Government has spent in ad- vertising during the first year of the war no expert accountant has yet had the facilities to estimate. It is a safe statement to make, however, that no nation ever spent one-tenth as much on printers' ink in the same period. Kitchener's army has been raised chiefly by advertising. Full-page, half-page and smaller advertisements in the papers are almost daily occur- rences. The bill-boards have been covered with the greatest variety of posters any advertiser ever had paint- ed. A collection of these would re- veal every play of ingenius appeal ad- vertising experts are capable of in- venting. The signs on trams, buses, and private motor cars increase ra- ther than decrease as the war con- tinues. There are appeals for re- cruits in prose and verse, in cartoon and suggestive picturing â€" all dressed as attractively as colored inks and trained advertising men can make them. The recent big war loan, the largest in the history of governmental bor- rowings, was the occasion of another tremendous advertising campaign. Even the big advertisers who have contracts for the outside pages of the dailies were pushed into the inside, so John Bull could ask Britons to pour their savingrs into the nation's tills. If the public had not become accus- tomed to Great Britain as a big ad- vertiser because of the proportions of , the army recruiting crusade, the di- mensions of this campaign of adver- • tising for money would have seemed j startling, for in itself it was altoge- I ther without precedent among nations i befire this war. j Now there are signs of a third big advertising movement by Great Bri- i tain in its "thrift campaign." Al- ready the posters are urging people to eat less meat, to eat more vegetables, to insist that each loaf of bread weigh two pounds, to report any dealer try- ing to sell a smaller loaf, and giving similar advice as to economical house- keeping. Paiofal Sweilioi^s Reduced Siasealar Strains Ended Such Troubles Now Qaicidy Rubbed Away by Power- ful Remedy. If you have any muscles that are strained and weak, that are frequent- ly subject to rheumatic pains; if you have any painful swellings that re- fuse to go away â€" get busy with Ner- viline. This is the very sort of trou- ble that Nerviline is noted for curing quickly. "I have proved Nerviline simply a wonder in reducing a hard, painful swelling. It followed an in- jury I received in my left leg and caused me great pain and discomfort. The muscles were strained and sore, and no other remedy gave the ease and comfort I got from rubbing on Nerviline. There is a soothing, pain- relieving power about Nerviline that touched the root of my trouble. Ner- viline reduced the swelling, it destroy- ed the pain, it brought my limb back to perfect condition." The experience of Mr. Bowen, whose home is in Mid- dlesex, is not unusual. Thousands are proving every day that muscular pains of every kind, chronic rheuma- tism, lumbago, neuralgia and sciatica will yield to Nerviline when nothing else can possibly cure. Nerviline is an old-time family pain remedy, used nearly forty years with great success. The large family size bottle costs 50c., trial size 25c. at all dealers. ♦ -. SMACKED THE KAISER'S FACE. British School Children Write Essays on the War. The interest of children in the war at different ages was the subject of a paper in the psychological section of the British Association recently by Dr. C. Kimmins, of Southwark, who said in order to obtain information as to the special interests of children at different ages in regard to the war es- says were written by all the children in 10 senior departments, five boys and five girls, of elementary schools, says the London Chronicle. No pre- paration was allowed, and no notice given. The children were told to write as much as they could about the war in 15 minutes. In all 3081 papers were written, 1,511 boys, 1,570 girls. A little girl, aged 11, wrote: The origin of the war was this: That when the German Emperor was at Windsor he insulted Queen Vic- toria, and so King Edward smacked him round the face. The German Emperor said: '111 be avenged,' and hence the war." A boy of 12 wrote: "The advantage of the war is that the men have learn- ed to knit"; and another boy wrote: "The main disadvantage of war is that girls must remain old maids be- cause there will not be any men left." + Good Board.

Red Poppy Crop on Battlefields of France. There is a brisk discussion in France between the scientific people and the sentimental, tradition-loving peasants. It has been noticed that all the battlefields of northern France where blood was shed last year are a-wave with red poppies, which grow everywhere and border all the roads. The peasants see in it the aftermath of the blood shed in the fights of last autumn. Scientific men point out that it is merely the natural result of the fields being thrown out of cultivation. But at least the peasants have tradition on their side. The dreadful battle of Landen in 1693, when the victorious French and the defeated allies left on the field between them some twenty thousand dead, produced a similar phenomenon. Lord Perth, writing to his sister in the following summer, described the appearance of the field in words which gave Macaulay an opportunity for a characteristic flight. "During many months the g^round was strewn with skulls and bones of horses and men. . . . The next summer the soil, fertilized by twenty thousand corpses, broke forth into millions of poppies. The traveller who on the road from Sant Tron to Tirlemont saw that vast sheet of scarlet spreading from Lan- den to Neerwinden could hardly help fancying that the figurative prediction of the Hebrew prophet was literally accomplished and that the earth was disclosing her blood and refusing to cover the slain." MOTHER'S "NOTIONS" Good for Young People to Follow. "My little grandson often comes up to show me how large the muscles of his arms are. "He was a delicate child, but has developed into a strong, healthy boy. and Postum has been the principal factor. "I was induced to give him the Pos- tum because of my own experience with it. "I am si.xty years old, and have been a victim of nervous dyspepsia for many years. Have tried all sorts of medicines and had treatment from many physicians, but no permanent relief came. "I used to read the Postum adver- tisements in our paper. .At first I gave but little attention to them, but finally something in one of the adver- tisements made me conclude to try Postum. "I was very particular to have it prepared strictly according to direc- tions, and used good, rich cream. It was very nice indeed, and about bed- time I said to the members of the family that I believed I felt better. One of them laughed and said, 'That's another of mother's notions,' but the notion has not left me yet. "I continued to improve right along after leaving off tea and coffee and taking Postum, and now after three years' use I feel so well that I am almost young again. I know Postum was the cause of the change in my health and I cannot say too much in its favor. I wish I could persuade all nervous people to use it." Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont.

Missed Something. Mrs. McGreevy was a dinner guest one evening where a noteil explorer was the attraction. Being of a some- what languid turn of mind, she paid more attention to her dinner than to the conversation. .-Vfter dinner was over she turned to one of the guests and asked: "What was that tiresome old ex- plorer talking about?" "Progressive Patagonia," was the reply. "Really?" asked Mrs. McGreevy with sudden interest. "And how do you play it?" mnard's Unlmsat Curss Dlpbtlisrla. How to Tell Train's Speed. Count the clicks of the wheels on one rail (because joints alternate) for twenty seconds, and the result will be the miles per hour the train is run- ning. There are 17G thirty-foot rails in 5,280 feet. The train, say, is tra- velling at forty-five miles per hour, or 2.25 rails in one second, which, multiplied by twenty, equals forty-five rails in twenty seconds, or forty-five miles per hour.
