The spirit of the Canadians is superb. © course they hatg the whole foul, insané business--but they will keep on fighting until the cows come home. After three years of war they are more resolute -to win. than the day they went in, for they have borne terrible losses, and they will not see these losses go for nothing.

BEAUTIFUL SPIES. Russia's Successful Use of Fascinating Women Spies. In the secret service of every coun- try, beautiful, fascinating women are fargely employed; but no goverment makes such successful use of them as that of Russia Our ally Tit- Bits, che s her spite from the fair- st of Russia's daughters, and, with- out exaggeration, it may be said that he.charm and beauty of these accom- lished Russian women is almost hyp- notic, ¢ more perhs aps, than that of the fair ladies of France. One f the most successful of Russian wo- nen spies is the beautiful widow of an army officer She has travelled all over the world for the Russian government, and once, when in Japan nearly lost by 'being given y, says ven S80, her life poisoned sweets. Another beautiful Russian spy has masqueraded for years as a dancing girl on the Russian border, although in reality she is of noble birth Her beauty and seeming simplicity have won the heart of many officers in the Greek, Turkish and Bulgarian armies, and many of these affairs have result- ed in valuable information for the Russian government. But the dainty, careless dancing girl is never suspect- ed A Russian countess who is in Rus- sia's secret service has in the course of her career successfully masquerad- ed as an American, learning the tricks of language and mannerisms perfect- ly." When in Japan, too, she adopt- ed that country's costumes and lan- guage without arousing suspicion. She mingled with Japanese officials and was received in the best society. A Japanese statesman, from whom she got much information ,imploréd her to marry him, but as soon the Russo-Japanese war was , over she took herself tq another land. as TRIAL POSTPONED Mrs. De Saulles Will Face « Court Next Week.

"When 1 went to walk very far 1 would get all' out of breath, and would have to sit down and rest be- fore 1 could go any further. I was advised to get Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills and before I had used two boxes I could sleep and walk as far as 1 liked without any trouble."

Now that the winter is upon us, the de- mand will be greater than ever. What I am most in need of is maga- zines, such as the Saturday Evening Post and monthlies of every des. eription, @as well as newspapers which are always welcome. When we are in the trenches we take the reading matter round to the men. During the long hours of waiting in the trenches reading matter ig eagerly looked for... We also keep supplies when available at the coffee stalls run by the Canadian Chap- lains' Service, up near the line. When the men are out of the line a building is secured, sometimes the village school, after sehool hours, for the purpose of a reading and writing room. If no building is available then the literature is dis tributed through the billets. If your readers would send me their magazines and weeklies when read they would be conferring a great hoon upon our brave soldiers. Please address, Hon, Capt. W. H. Davis, chaplain, 4th CM.R's., B.

Chicage Tribune In vigorous youth men and nations can survive errors that would destroy them in middle life. The Ameérican people have made mistakes during their history which would have been fatal to a nation less richly endowed by nature and less fortunate 'in all the conditions of its life. The lavish e> penditure of somg of our essential re- sources, soil and timber, most con- spicuously, was a costly folly to whict we have only lately awakened. It is not pleasant to think of our heedless- ness and want of foresight, but it is becoming necessary to do so. What material mistakes America could com- mit without immediately punishment are becoming fewer each year. We must learn to look ahead in another spirit than the breezy optimism of the American 'dream. The war with its giant pressure is forcing us swiftly out of our complacency while it is creating conditions which will de- mand for a long time a more careful consideration of ways and means in private and public life, a greater fore- sight, a more thorough habit in treat- ing our problems. One of the chapters of American policy least creditable to our intelli- gence is our dealing with the rail- roads For a generation an enter- prising and intelligent nation has bun- gled this problem, adopting a make- shift, one-sided system of regulation which only the very great prosperity of this country has been able to sus- tain. The regulation of rates and the prohibition of rebates have accom- plished good. There is no. thought of ever departing from the principle of public regulation of this central and vital public service. It is not less regulation we need, but-better regula- tion, a balanced and inclusive regula- tion. If revenue is to be regulated at its ingress, it must be regulated at"its exit. If the price pi id to railroads for their commodity is to be controll- ed by government, the price pi id by the railroads for the constituents of their commodity must be brought un- der control also. This is basic, yet we have ignored it for a quarter of a century. The point is that we have reached a stage in our evolution in which we can no longer ignore it. We must make, our system of regulations protective not merely of the shipping public but of the transportation agen- cies also. Regulation must be round- ed out. .It must be more than mere- ly inhibitive upon the railroads. It must be constrictive. The present condition of the rail- roads calls not only for immediate measures of relief, but for the non- demagogic, broad-minded considera- tion of a constructive policy. The protection of the shipper from _extor- tionate or excessive rates is only oné element of the problem 1f we are to have an efficient system of trans- portation we must protect the credit and other resources of the railroads so that efficiency may be maintained. Under stress of war the government lately has taken upon itself to fix the prices of certain commodities, but for years it has been fixing the price of the railroads commodity, and of late the pressure from above and below has become so great, the cost of la- bor and supplies and maintenance, in- cluding taxation, has so increased, while the resistance to rate increases a -- isin -- "Danger Ahead" is the Warning ch RUE, an occasional headache may result from conditions that pass away, but "per- sistent headaches" tell of serious trouble, and demand attention.

Our grand- mother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use onl thisy oldl-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mixture improved b the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," which darkens the hair so naturally, s0 'evenly, that nobedy can possibly tell it has been applied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, besides beautifinyg and dark- ening the hair after a few applica- tions, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appear- ance of abundance, Wyeth"s Sage and Sulphur Com- pound is a delightful toilet requisite to impart color and a outhfuyl ap- pearance to the hair.

If the pressure continues our system of trausporta- tion will be destroyed. To-day the American railroads are giving an exhibition.of patriotic effi- ciency which these in touch with the facts of our war preparation recog- nize. This ought to create an atmo- sphere more favorable to a fair con- sideration of the railroads' needs than has pervailed for many years. It ought to be coming home to the American people with special force during these days of testing that the legitimate needs of the railroads are basic needs: of the nation, With a deteriorating transportation system national prosperity and national strenth must surely deteriorate. The railroads are the arteries of the na- tion and the nation, like the individual human being, gannot thrive with de- fective arteries. We have many urgent problems be- fore us, some re new. But the evolution of a construdive policy of railroad regulation in the interest of the public, and therefore in that of the "railroads, is a war necessity as well as a peace necessity. We ought to be able, after a generation" of expel rience, experience, and discussion, to determine upon and establish such a policy without further delay. Meanwhile, however, the question of more adequate revenue for the rail roads calls for immediate attention. The railroads have applied for an in- crease in rates, and we believe, for reasons shall outline another time, they shoujd be granted without fur- ther postppnement. Delay is gravely hurtful, and we do not think it is ne- cessary. Facts are available. Prin- ciples should be clear.
