But of this we are assured, so long ai he retains his leadership, there will be no weakening in the determination of France for victory. . From the first, M. Painleve has been an uncompromising supporter of the war. It was he who was chiefly instrumental in preventing the evacuation evacuation of Paris™when the enemy swept towards that city in Sept., 1914. Painleve Painleve is responsible for making Petain Commander-in-Qhie/ in -place '"of Nivelle, because hé was too much inclined inclined to consult. the politicians about his strategy and military movements. Tetain's victories at Verdun, while retaining under heaviest pressure all the ground won by Nivelle on the Aisne, have vindicated Pairilèvë's action. action.

Barber Cured Generously Tells Others How Cure Was Effected.. Toronto, Ont., Oct. II, 1917.-- No one is better qualified to judge of treatment for skin troubles than the barber. He finds his customers bothered with barber's itch, pimples and eczema and has his own difficulties in treating these, conditions after shaving. Mr. Lewis learned from a customer about Dr. Chase's Ointment, and when he contracted eczema,.applied this treatment with most satisfactory ^results. He is naturally-enthusiastic-now in recommending recommending this ointment to - any onejmffering from similar skin troubles. - Mr.. .George Le^is, barber, 202% Wëllèsley street,' Toronto, writes: J was for some time troubled with an eczemic eruption on the scalp and obtained temporary temporary relief by the use of a tonic. About six months later little blotches broke out on my tface and the doctor pronounced the trouble to be eczema^ I heard of Dr. vhase's Ointment through a customer who was cured by this treatment after trying tiaany remedies in Vain, so I began the usé of this Ointment and -in a short Jime the eczema entirely "disappeared from my face and scalp.

When, during the immense and bewildering bewildering confusion ofMhe- Russian revolution, many hundred soldiers deserted, deserted, not from disloyalty, but merely merely because they wished to go home and see their families, they did not always always meet the reception they expected. expected. The women were no less weary of the war than they; but they had sometimes a clearer idea of the necessity necessity of continuing it, czâr or no czar, than had "thetr'metT. Tfiere were fairly j numerous instances when the men re- j turned to duty in abashed squads un- j der the escort of an Amazonian guard f village maids and matrons ; occasionally occasionally a lone husband would be marched back under the sole but sufficient sufficient compulsioh of a resolute wife. The influence of wormin' has always been important in holding the-soldiers of a nation to their dqty, or discouraging discouraging them from, it. ~ Usually it has remained remained influence merely, and has 'not become compulsion. Sometimes it has been exerted in a manner halfway between between the two. In the days of the American Revolution Revolution there was 9, patriotic matron of New England whose husband did not, volunteer when his neighbors did. He gave his "pindling" health and feeble constitution as an excuse. He was, indeed, indeed, a slight and -small man, • but tough; and wiry, and better able to endure endure the hardships of warithan^mariy bigger men, as hie spouse well knew.. But she did not remonstrate or shame him in the community by ^pressing her opinion. Instead, she devoted her attention to his diet. If he were not a well man, he ought not to eat like one^ she decided; and she reduced his rations to such as befitted an invalid. In vain he protested that he required extra nourishment; the hotter and angrier he got, the more firmly she insisted insisted that he was feverish and choleric, choleric, and that a light diet was the thing for him, with* nothing solid or heavy or rich.
