In an article entitled "Stick It,' the London Globe gives this, admir- able review and exhortation: For three years and a half we have been fighting in the greatest war ever known, and the enemy is not beaten yet. Thousands upon thousands of our youth have heen slaughtered; thousands upon thou- sands more have been' broken and maimed; we have piled up an en- ormous debt and the bill longer every day; most of us are short of money and all.of us are short of food; the sovereign is hardly . worth eleven shillings; sugar, butter and milk are hard to come by; the beer is awipes, the whiskey #8 trebled in price and halv- ed in strength; the streets are dark and gloomy; most of our libe have gone by the board; the bond-slaves of Dora; of§icials have multiplied like locusts; food queens have become both a habit and a nédcessity; compulsory ration- ing is on its way; the servants have all gone into munitions; meat is go- ing to bé very searce; Cambrai was a great disappointment; Russia has betrayed the common cause; Italy has suffered a terrible defeat; Lord Lansdowne has got loose, and thé U-boats are not yet suppressed; raflway tickets cost half as much again as they did; war bread is not at 'all nice; and from time to time most unpleasant things drop updn us out of the sky. It is all very try- ing, and the reader will notice that we have deliberdtely mingled real sorrows and sufferings with minor privations, because it is our experi- ence that it is the later and not the: former by which the scale in a man's mind is very often turned. ft Things being as they are, we are not at all surprised that some should be suffering from wy ness and that even deans sh going. about with long fa PrWeari- tld be and Tugubrious doubts as to the end of it all, But what did you expect when yon went to war?

We may feel bad, but the other fellow feels a great deal worse. Where we have Jost men by the hundred fhousand Germany has lost them by the mil- Yion. If we are short of food; she is nearly starvimg. If we are hard up, she is almost bankrupt. II her under-water boats are a nuisance 'and a peril, her flag his been swept 'from the surface of every ocean in the world. Not.a square yard of | British territory has been seized by het, while what we have taken of 1 hers is only to be measured in thou- sands of square miles. Her troops have never once broken through our line: ours have pierced theirs again and again. Italy has recovered both her spirit and her strength, and, i: Russia had fallen out, America has come in, and we wish the Boches joy of the exchange. If Cambrai did not give us all we hoped it gave us a great deal, and it shattered once for all the legend of the Hin- denburg de 1 the High Seas Fleet escaped us in the Jutland fog it has remained bottled up ever since, and seems mightily reluctant to win another "victory" like that.

But we do know that # is either the last or the last but one, and that we have only to stick it ait to see his seconds throwing up thé sponge. We are not in this ring to 'win on points" we are there for "a fight to a fin- ish lL. Stick it. Foreigners have said all sorts of things about us, some pleas- ant and some very much the re- verse. But no one ever yet doubted either our pluck or our endurance," and surely we are not going to show ourselves unworthy of our sires! Think of the men in the trenches, you ' whe grumble because the sugar is short and now-and again you are awakened by the barrage of the pro- tecting guns, They are up to their waists in mud and water day in and day out, and the hombs are drop- ping reund them and Jon them every hour. Are they dowh-hearted? Are they shivering at the thought "of Hindenburg's coming "smack"? Not they. They know themselves for better men than Fritz, and they ask for nothing better than to see him coming over the top to give them another chance of proving it. There is only one thing which could break their gallant spirit---to feel that we fn the home for which they are fighting and dying had begun to lose ours, that we Were so careless of all they have done and are doing that we can, lét our petty troubles blind us to the glory of the saecri- fice and splendour of. their aims.

This is not the first hard fight we have had in the thousand years through which the sons of "the little fob-bound islahd in the Northern sea' have shattered des- potisms, defied Popes and Kings and Emperors, made all the seas their playmates, and filled with free and happy people the waste places of the earth. Now, as in'the old son, of Clive and Wellington, we are fighting for life and honor and freedom. Be ashamed to doubt or faiter in this most righteous cause. "Either God is dead or Germany is doomed." So spoke the dying Cer- wan, and he spoke truth in the bit- terness of his heart. Do you think God is dead?

Every at- tack of rheumatism invites smother; worse than that, it reduces the body's power so that each attack is worse than the one before. If any disease needs curing early it is rheumatism, but there is scarce- ly any.disease that physicians find more difficult to treat successfully. When a medicine floes cure rheuma- tism therefore it is worthy of special notice. Medical authorities agree that the blood becomes thin with al- arming rapidity as rheumatism. de- velops. Maintaining the quality of the blood is therefore a reasonable way of preventing and combatting rheumatism. That it works out in fact is shown by the beneficial effects whith follow the treatment "of rheu- matism, acute, muscular and articu- lar, with that great blood tonic, Dr. Willlams® Pink Pills. That thousands of people who have taken Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for<their rheumatism have been cur- ed is a fact beyond dispute. That rheumatism does not return as long as the blood is kept rich and red is equally true If therefore, you are suffering from rheumatism in any form you should lose no time in giv- ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial.
