Nieuport, which is frequently mentioned in the press despatches from the European battle line, is a Belgian town situated half a mile from the sea coast and half way be- tween Ostend and the French bor- der. It has recently been the scene of some hard fighting. The town is on the Yser, a stream which the Germans succeeded i in crossing only to be mown down by the guns of the Allies. Although Nieuport: is badly situ- ated and unhealthy, it is visited by many tourists in the summer who are attracted there by ibs bathing facilities. It was destroyed in 1383 by the English, but was rebuilt and fortified" two years later by Philip the Bold. It was captured three times' by the French--in 1745, 1792 and 1794. The "battle of the dunes, in which the Spanish were defeated by Philip 'of Nassau, was fought there in 1600. ¥ has a lighthouse that was erected in 1284. .

V Will Set a New ' Low Record, Bice. the outbreak of war, Sir William Osler, Reglus professor of medicine at Oxford University, has supervised the 'work of the army hospitals in England. Toward the close of October, hesaid to correspondent of the New York Times, "I think this war will set a new record for low mortality among the 'wounded. Formerly, with the best first-aid and hospital work, a mortality record of five or six per cent. of those who reached the base hospitals was considered creditable. Up to date, there has been only one fatality out of more than seven hundred wounded 0 have reached the base hospital at ord. That death was caused by 'tetanus. This result is owing partly to the self stertilsa tion of the modern hl h-velocity 'bullets, and partly to cient: field first aid. 'I have yet to Boe a wound inflicted by either a dum- dum or an explosive bullet. If the experience of the past counts for any- thing, the expeditionary force on the Continent has more to fear from the bacilli of typhoid fever than from bul: lets or bayonets: In the Boer War, bacilli accounted for fourteen thous: and of the twenty-two thousand lives lost. I have never seen a group of recruits marching to a depot without mentally asking what percentage will die legitimate and honorable deaths from wounds, and what percentage will perish miserably {rom the neglect of ordinary sanitary precautions." ime Bodine 5.000 OUT OF WORK Not men, but corne that were put out of business last: week by Putnam's Corn Extractor.

'Gentlemen, I can't lie about the horse ; he is blind in one eye," said the auctioneer. The horse was soon knocked down to a citizen, who had been greatly struck by the auction- eer's honesty, and after paying for the horse he said-- 'You were hon- est enough to tell me that this ani- mal wag blind in one eye.

GET TRIAL BOTTLE TO-DAY, You don't have to wait all day to get the kink out' of a stiff neck if you rub on Nerviline. And you don't need to go around complaining about Ium- bago any more. You can rub such things away very quickly with Nervi- line. It's the grandest liniment, the quickest to penetrate, the speediest to eage muscular pain of any kind. One twenty-five cent trial bottle of Nerviline will cure any attack of lum- cx bago or lame back, This has been proved a thousand times, just as it was in the case of Mrs. H. J. Grayden. of Caledonia. who writes: --*I wouldn't think of going te bed without knowing we had Nerviline in the house. I have used it for twenty odd years and ap- preciate its value as a family remedy more and more every day. If any of the children gets a stiff neck, Nervi line cures quickly. 'If it 1s earache, toothache, cold on the chest, sore throat, Nerviline is always my stand- by. My husband once cured himself of a frightful attack of lumbago by Nerviline, and for a hundred allments that turn up in a large family Nervi line is by Jar the best thing to have about you."
