Draper Won Com- mission by Bravery on Field But Was Knocked Out by Rheumatism -- Says Tanlac Completely Restored Him. "Liéutenant William Draper, of Glen Falls, N.B., popular officer in the Canadian army, is still another returned war veteran who comes for- ward with his unqualified endorse- ment of Tanlac, Lieut, Draper served throughout the entire war, two years and a half of the time being spent in France with the Second Divisional Ammunition Column. He was a sergeant-major when the war broke out and won his commis- ston for conspicuous service on the field. Lieut. Draper is also a veteran of the South African war, in which he fought with the Canadian and British forces. He is a possessor of six medals, his last one a "meritori- ous service medal," being awarded for gallant service in the late world 'war. In an interview recently Lieut. | Draper told his experience with Tanlac. "For about three years I was troubled with rheumatism in my arms and back. My muscles were gore and stiff, my back was weak and lame and hurt day and night. I could not lie in any comfortable posi- | tion and was almost helpless when 1 lay down in bed, being hardly able to move. "I got so I could not move about or walk without effort. My appetite left me and when I sat down to the table two or three bites being all I could eat. I couldn't sleep much, for I was often in such pain that I lay awake for hours, "I took five bottles of Tanlac and since then I have not felt a sign of rheumatism. I can use my arms as well as I ever could and my back never troubles me at all and is strong as it ever was. I have a fine appetite and everything I eat di- gests properly. I sleep like a child now every night, and I am a well man enjoying the very best of health." Tanlac is sold in Kingston by A. P. Chown and by the leading drug- gists in every town. --Advt. DE GIVE PREFERENCE TO EMPIRE GOODS Regulations Have Been Re- celved From London by Com=- missioner at Montreal. Montreal, Sept. 25.--Details of new customs regulations and tariff changes "affecting exporters in Bri- tain's overseas dominiaps" have been received here from London by the British Trade Commissioner. The changes have been made with a view to conferring a preference on Em- pire products, and customs duties are to be charged at reduced rates on goods imported into Great Britain, | which are shown to be consigned from and grown, produced or manu- factured in the British Empire. For goods to qualify as manufactured in the Empire, the commissioner ex- plains, it is necessary for at least 25 per cent. of the factory or works cost to be the result of labor within the Empire. For certain manufactured articles, such as tobacco, refined sugar, molasses and extracts from { who was British M.P. | Whitehaven, has been nominated by ~~ sugar, the proportion is fixed at five per cent. Provisions are made where- by manufactured goods part dutiable ingredients may, if fill- SICKLY STREAMS. } £1 "Rivers," sald the American; "why, | your rivers are nothing to ours.

The outstanding fact of the situation, they say, is that the climate forbids the rearing of white children. "Only in' parts of Northern Ni- geria," they write, "is it safe to risk | the presence of a young white life, for there fresh milk is obtainable and the heat is not so trying. We have seen one white child In our travels. It was pathetic in its pallor and apathy, Its little legs, which should have been plump and sturdy, were merely sallow broomsticks. And this in spite of the most devoted and | the life of a | tender care. Truly, mother on the West Coast is no bed of roses! "But it must not be thought that existence among the feminine ele- ment is a sad one. There are many wives who trek with their husbands into out-of-the-way portions of their districts and who enter into the dis- comforts and even dangers of the Journey with positive zest. "We recall one athletic, fair-hair- ed girl who thought nothing of ris- ing at four in the morning, slipping into a 'bush' skirt, breeches and field boots, and trudging along by her husband through hunters' paths until the rising sun compelled her to take to her hammoek. Her pet monkey and parrot always traveled with her, and were as skilled at making them- selves comfortable as she. "Long practice had made her an adept at what might be called the 'multum in parvo' type of luggage, apd she could always produce a din- ner gown and accessories out of a microscopic bag when necessity re: quired. When we asked her if she would not prefer to be in one of the large ports where bridge aiid dancing were the order of the even- ing she bluntly said that she was | fed up with that sort of life and that she preferred to shoot for the pot | rather than to chase golf bails, and to sleep the sleep of healthy fatigue in a palm leaf hut in the bush than to jasz to a gramophone until the early hours of the morning. "That is one way of helping one's husband upon the coast. There is It consists in doing most of his work for him until he sinks into the status of a cheerful nonentity and {8 known merely as 'Mrs. X.'s husband.' Masterful wo- | men there are in plenty all over the world, but nowhere is it so easy for a masterful woman to grasps the reins in her own hands as on this coast. 'Take the line of least resist- ance' is an insidious doetrine easy to adopt out here, and if the work is done, well, what matter whether Mr. ,| or Mrs. X.'§s responsible? "We have known wives who signed | their husbands' official documents, others who seemed to forget that a woman should not take a military salute, and others who spoke of 'the soldier in my company.' These wo- men, as a rule, are not good house- wives. They are short-tempered with the black boys, and are too interest- | ed in what is really not their pro- vince to pay attention to the duller problems of the home, "We were taken to call at one house of this sort, where six bottles half full of flat, warm beer was the refreshment available, and where our hostess wrathfully slapped the head boy for his neglect, though the fault was really her own. "Black servants are quick to take their cue from their mistress, and if | she is lax they become so likewise. Again, there are other women to be | found who resent the presence of | any increase among their own sex out { here. They like to be the only ones in a community of attentive men, even though they may be devoted and loving wives. "In their own country, unfortun- ately, the feminine element predom- inates, and they enjoy the novel sen- sation of even though their kingdoms may be smafl. One such was known oon- temptuously to refer to each new a rival as 'one more hussy,' until some one asked her what the others might perchance call her. There is also the butterfly wife, who, until shé finds her soul through sorrow or illness, dances the hours away as though nature were not waiting to exact the inexorable penalty. For one cannot burn the candle at both ends with impunity on the West Coast, as men and women have both.learn! U.S. WHITE SLAVERS Being Sent Over Under False Pretences. London, Sept. 25.--Reports that the American white slavers in Lon- don are sending women to Canada ostensibly as housemaids, and factory workers are to be sent on to the United States for these purposes, has been investigated by Scotland Yard national vigilance association. "Our agents at all British ports are most active," said Col. Thompson, of the vigilance association. '""Any such widespread condition we discovered was prevented. In some instances women sought to get to Canada and the United States as stowaways. They are few, but we suppose some success- fully evaded us. We are sure not many did." Investigations by Scotland Yard re- sulted in an agreement between Brit- | ish, Canadian and American port au: |thorities and closest co-operation, {vigilance extending to even English jo omen going to other side as war joriaes. { | Lightens Work and Heightens Pleasure It costs no more to get a really good Work- ing or Outing Shirt--one that fits right, feels good, and wears splendidly.
