One of the surest signs that the blood is out of order is the pimples, unsightly eruptions and eczema that come frequently with the change from winter to spring. These prove that the long Indoor life of winter has had its effect upon the blood, and that a tonic medicine is needed to put it right- Indeed Indeed there are few people who do not need a tonic at this season. Bad blood does not merely show itself in disfiguring disfiguring eruptions. To this same condition is due attacks of rheumatism and lumbago; lumbago; the sharp stabbing pains of sciatica and neuralgia, poor appetite and a desire to avoid exertion. You cannot cure these troubles by the use of purgative medicines--you need a tonic, and a tonic only, and among all medicines there is none can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for their tonic, life-giving, nerve-restoring powers.

If yon want special advice write to Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. (confidential), Lynn, Mass. Xour letter will be opened, read and answered by a woman and held in strict confidence. Two English ladies began last January January to drive a tractor plough, which was lying idle because the ironmonger to whom it belonged had no men to spare to send out with it. They had experience in motor driving, but none in ploughing. One day last month a letter was received from one of them in which she said: "We have just done 33 acres, and have come to do 20 aères, and this morning there is an inch of snow, but we mean to go out and try to work. Now either of us can work the tractor and plough, and can turn into and out of the furrow without slowing up very much. Screws and bolts are always working loose, and pliers and wire are often heeded. It is very dirty work, as the engine has to be filled twice a day, and paraffin lifted to the top of the tank. We pull a ten-gallon drum of paraffin up in slow stages. The final bit is done by one being on top and lifting while.the other pushes with her head! The mixture of oil, paraffin and soil is very adhesive, and our drill overalls must be a sore trial to washerwomen." washerwomen." These two women:, we are told, now plough from 4 to 5 acres a day with a three-furrow plough. They have a school for training drivers, and have already taught twelve other girls.

M. Bice, Denver, Colo. Germany's agricultural boasts have no foundation, and it 1 is the American, not the German, farmer that has made her continuance of the war possible. This is easily demonstrated, and though the Allies have long known the fact, they have been powerless to prevent prevent it without a rupture in commercial commercial relations with the United States. Germany has been very bitter in her complaintsxthat Britain, unable, as she falsely claims, to defeat her in the field, is trying to starve her people into 'submission, as though cutting the supply of food in war was not a legitimate legitimate and well recognizqd method of dealing with an enemy. But Germany aid not hesitate in 1871 to adopt that method in capturing Paris. They talk now as though the method was new to warfare, while the use by them of deadly gas and prussic acid shells; the bombardment? of summer resorts, killing killing women and children, the inoculation inoculation of unfortunate captives with tuberculosis tuberculosis germs, or their more rapid extermination by forced labor, carried to such an excess, that the underfed slaves die, if not killed by the fire of their own people in the front of the fight, the poisoning of wells, 'ètç.> to the end of the long list of barbaric methods of the Hun are all right and up to the most humane and moral modes of winning battles. * . Having an insufficient supply of horrors, horrors, the Huns do not hesitate to make up the deficiency by torturing prisoners, prisoners, and forcing them with the "alternative "alternative of death, to work where shells are falling thick and fast, and to do the work-of the horse in hauling-guns and ammunition for their convenient use. But all the brutalities the Hun could invent, thank heaven! have utterly utterly failtd, though the Allies have thus far-been fighting, so to speak, with one hand tied behind their backs, for before America came into the war there were complications in regard to her trade with certain foreign countries countries close to Germany that only a partial blockade could be enforced, and hence unarmed ships had to face the deadly submarine.. All this is happily changed since the U.S. came into the struggle; and an effectual embargo will now be put upon all food stuffs to Norway,, Sweden, Sweden, Denmark and Holland which here- tofare were simply intermediary ports for the benefit of Germany. How do we know this ? The official figures are happily at hand is the answer. These figures compiled by the greatest greatest of statisticians, Frank Bohn, show how Germany has been supplied and how ineffectual and lenient has been the blockade, and what the cutting off of American supplies will mean for Germany. It is a fact that for the past two years Germany has fought the war a.lmost entirely on supplies furnished by the U.S., and this being stopped, there "is no reason why the war cannot be brought to an end before before the next new year dawns. The figures "show that the U.S. during during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1913, exported to Norway goods of the value of $8,000,000 (I am ùsing round numbers only). But during the year ending Dec. 31, 1916, she sent to Norway Norway $66,000,000 worth of goods, adapted adapted to war purposes. The figures for Sweden are, 1913, $12,000,000, but for 1916, $48,000,000. For Switzerland, 1913, $800,000, for 1916, $13,000,000. For Denmark, 1*13, $18,000,000, for 1916, $56,000000. The figures for Holland are not given, but we know that the increase is enormous enormous and far exceeds those of the nations named. The four countries named purchased of the U.S. in 1913 a total of only $40,100,000, while in 1916 the total reached over $183,000,000. Can there be any doubt in the face of this showing, showing, where the excess in shipments over the normal sum went ? A glance through the kind of purchases purchases made by these nations from America fully confirm our suspicions as to the destination of this enormous surplus of imports. We find that in one year (1915) there was purchased of the U.S. In round numbers 1,460,000,000 pounds, of cotton-seed meal, and of this huge quantity Denmark, the nearest and closest friend, Germany took 1,093,- 000,000 pounds, and in 1916, out of a total of 1,232,000,000 pounds, Denmark Denmark received 812,000,000, so we have been feeding Germany's cattle, sheep and hogs by our exports so they could have meat for their armies in abund- There is a Message In This Lady's Story She Tells What Dodd's Kidney Pills Do For Women She Was Troubled With Weakness and Her Daughter Had Nervous Trouble.
