PAIN IN THE BACK Usually Comes From Muscular Rheumatism. Do not worry about a pain in the back. The worry will do you more harm than the pains. The cause of most backaches is muscular rheu: ism, which is painful enough, but not fatal. Lumbago is a form of muscular rheumatism, so is a stiff neck. Sufferers from any form of rheumatism should keep their general health up to the high- est standard by the use of a blood building™ tonic like Dr. Williams Pink Pills, while taking good, nour- ishing food, without too much meat. Proper nutrition and pure blood ar the best means of fighting rheuma- tism. Rheumatisni comes from an acid in the blood, build it Wp, strengthlien the system, and drive out the poisonous aeid that causes rheumatism. In this way sufferers have found complete recovery as is shown by the following case: Mrs. Samuel : Childerhouse, Orillia, Ont., says: "About three years ago 1 was greatly afflicted with a severe pain in the back, which I thought at first was due to kidney trouble. I tried a number of remedies but they did not help me any, in fact the pain was growing worse, and got so bad that I was quite unable to do my housework. I could not even sweep a floor. I was advised to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills, and I am glad I acted upon the advice, for before I had been taking the Pilis long the pain began to subsidé, and under the contin use disappeared entirely, and I have not since been bothered with it in any way. My husband was also cured of a severe attack of indigestion by this same medicine so that we both have much reason to be grateful for it." You can get Dr. Williams Pink Pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. re Politics vs. Patriotism, Bveryman, London. ; Of course, we shall hold out even if the war were to last five years.

The Singer Mfg. ®o. Orders, It is. well that Canadians should know who are the friends of the Em- pire in this crisis and who are not Some of the largest firms fn the United States which do ap immense amount of business in Canada have been quite outspoken in the attitude L they have taken during this war. Henry Ford has plainly intimat- ed where his sympathies are, and. ac- cordingly has 'been receiving some! pretty hard knocks from the Canadi- an press. He would be a pretty mean- spirited Canadian who ould want to patronize Ford now that he knows just where he stands. The friend of Germany cannot be the friend of Canadians. Ford, however, is not the only one whom Canadians should remembar Therg¢ are many firms located in the States 'who have sales departments or branch factories in Canada and also in other parts of the Empire. The Singer Sewing Machine Com- pany is one of these, They have refused orders for millions of rifles and other materials for the Allies, despite the fact that their plants are working "to small capacity owing ito falling off in their regylar business We are told by the Boston News Bureau, a reliable paper published in the home town of the company, that 80 per cent of the employees in the Singer Company's American plants are Germans We can thus see the reason for their refusal to sell to Great Britain and her Allies Canadigns ought to remember this, as well as the people in every other portion of the British Empire. The following article dealing . with this point is from a neutral American pa- per, the Boston News Bureau: Why the Singer Manufacturing Com- pany Takes No War Orders. Singer Manufacturing Company, with probably one of the best, if not the best, basically equipped plants in the country. for manufacture of war materials, has not taken an order, and has refused orders for millions of rifles and other materials. It could only do business with the Allies, while it has a tremendous plant in Germany which would un doubtedly be confiscated if it put its plants in this country \/ turning out war material for Germany's ene- mies. Furthermore, 80 per cent. of employees in its American plants ar@ Germans, and if orders were taken to supply the Allies with materials, the plants and forces in this country would undoubtedly be disrupted. The company also owns and did operate big plants in Scotland and Russia, which, although officials will not admit it, must have been taken over by the respective governments for war purposes. Concerning what has happened to the Singer plants in Germany, officials say they have re- ceived no advices. Singer Manufacturing Company is chiefly noted for its sewing ma- chines. and for the scarcity of infor- uation concerning its financial "af- airs. It is a close corporation, and officials say the public is not inter- ested in the balance sheet or earn- ings. There are only 2,000 shares out of 600,000 in outsiders' hands, and these have been passing back and forth between various buyers and sellers for several years. The rest of the stock is locked up tight, for dividends have been coming in regu- larly and the company's wealth has heretofore been steadily .ipcreasing. The war has undqubtedly serious- ly hurt the company's business, for its plants have recently been run- ning between 40 per cent. and 45 per cent. of capacity. One-half of its tremendous capacity has been lying idle while war profits have been g0- ing into coffers of its friends and neighbors, who did not hesitate to do business with the Allies in war sup- plies, Such a situation will, however, not 'be likely to bankrupt Singer Manufacturing Company. for there are few 'financially stronger com- panies. A balance sheet as of September 30th, 1913, which. by some chance saw the light, showed that real tate and inventories totaled $27,987,000, and cash and accounts receivable were $85,228. 000. Reserve funds were $18) 620,000, and surplus, $30,630,000. Later balance sheets in possession only of a chosen few and carefully guarded show still. larger totals, we are given to understand. The company is said to be the largest single holder of Government bonds, IN the country. Just now, however, the officials figuratively do not know whether they are afoot or horseback, for the war has tremendously, par- ticularly in Europe, where a con- siderable part of their hills "Tre ceivable are outstanding, repre- senting instalment payments due. The final outcome of these is Pro blematical. ' They may be worth par and they may be worth 50 cents on the dollar. There is at present no basis for judging this matter. But .it is an ill wind that blows no good. The company has 4 fin- ancial backlog that guargntees its pulling through any ublous times. Financially it is getting along as easy as an ol shoe évVen witho#it maximum business or excess- ive war profits. Then also there must be a tremendous demand abroad for special machines for sewing uni- rms, tents, harness, sand d such requirements of armies and navies. Perhaps, therefore, the European factories are not running at so low a production as those in this country. At, any rate, dividends are being regularly in the $60,000,000 stock, all of whith, with the exception of! the $500,000 issued in 1863, has been distributed to the faithful stock' holders gratis in stock 'dividends, with an occasional cash 'dividend of 20, 30 or 100 per cent. on the side.
