If not, why waste all the good ad-| vertising? | When Sam left Canada some six weeks ago, he was accompanied by a| moving picture outfit, a phonograph recorder, and Major John Bassett, his press agent, The War Logd was 'met in London by Sir Max Aitken, who is known as the Eye Witness at the Front, said Front being wherever Sir Sam happens to pause at the time, needle, the ultimate reel.

During the audience the latter noticed with some surprise that not one of the two or three clocks in the audience chamber were going. He mreantioned in as delicate a manner as possible to the Sultan that his clocks had all stopped, and hinted that he would like to present him with one that could be more re- lied upon. The Sultan thanked him with a smile, but added, "My clocks ure excellent: timekeepers. They were all going just before you came but I had them «£11 stopped as I did rot desire your Excellency's all too- brief visit to be reminded of the flight of time."

The operation in itself was {uite success- ful, but I was so badly run down and anaemic that I did not gain strength, and the intision did not heal, and kept discharging for nearly a year, untit L weighed only eighty-six! pounds, and could scarcely walk | across the floor. 1 had got so sick of doctors' medicine that I would | vomit when I tried to take it.

By the time I had | taken five boxes the wound ceased discharging and commenced to heal. 1 took in all thirteen boxes and am to-day enjoying the best health of | my life and weigh 140 pounds. I sincerely hope anyone suffering as I did will give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial, and I feel sure they will not be disappointed."

Perhaps in no other country would an order like that dooming the beard of the French soldier be received as a thing of merry jest as in France, Not that there is danger of it being ignored; but it will strike the French sense of humor and draw forth from those of high and low degree, as if already has done to some extent, more or less good-natur In 'this the French are masters; at the same time such re- ception" of the order means thai it will be accepted without any sen.- blance of the indignation it might arouse in other lands as an.infringe- ment of the liberties of the indivi-| dual. The people of some demo- cracies take their liberties so serious- ly that even ansarmy order might be issued with hesitation. The world has changed much since e master dramatist wrote about the 'soldier, full of strange and heardéd like the. pard. seek- ing the bubble reputation evén in the cannon's mouth." And the change in the_ facial adornment of the male, particularly when he is a fighting man, has not been. overlooked. True, there are beards still in the American army, but for the most part they have been abandoned, largely through the desire of those who might wear them." The company barber has come to be as much a part of the camp as the mess tent. The boy in khaki goes in for the shave as much as for the shower. Whether it be cause or effect, the clean scraped faces do their.part in making for a pretty trim looking body of men, as they who have seen the soldiers will admit them to be. There will be difference of opinion ag to the advisability of the order, as the quoted comments of the French leaders. of thought show. Perhaps there are a good many to whom the beard stands.for masculine strength and courage; a good many more wiil agree with the dramatist Richepin who remarks: "The beard has gone, but what is the difference to us? -In place of it is courage that grows, Let the beard fall and French cour- age grow." Of a verity, there can be courage with a clean shave; it is no longer deemed necessary that to be a. poet one must wear long hair. -- Pittsburgh "Dispatch." th oaths, » The man who does not take any in- terest in poltics is, in a way, a poor citizen, A PROMINENT NURSE taken it myself and. got sults.
