IN THE CLUTCHES OF RHEUMATISM} | The Great Suffering of a Cal- gary Lady Before: Relief - -Was Found There is still a very prevalent belief that rheumatism is due to cold or. wet weather. This belief is probably due tothe fact that when the blood is thin and watery there is an acute sensi- tiveness to atmospheric conditions and a change to wet weather often means a return of 'the excruciating pains. Rheumatism, however, is root- ed in the blood, and it' can only be driven from the system by building up and enriching the blood. Hot baths and outward applications of liniment may give temporary relief, but can- not cure. If the disease is not attack- ed through the blood, it simply fas- tens itself more firmly on the sys- tem, and the sufferer ultimately be- comes hopelessly crippled. The truth of this is proved by the case of Mrs. Frank Ford, of Calgary, Alta. Mrs. Ford says: "I was an almost help- less cripple from rheumatism. It seemed to have settled in every joint. My arms and hands had to be band- aged. My ankles were so swollen that I had to use crutches. After doctor- ing for a long time and growing steadily worse, the. doctdr advised me to go to Banff Springs. I stayed there for eight weeks taking daily s and returned home poorer in pocket by about $150 and not one bit improved in health. I then entered a local hospital, but did not derive any enefit. I was in such constant pain that I almost wished to die, and I felt sure I would be a lifelong cripple. It was at this stage that a friend who had been greatly benefitted by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills urged me to try them. _I began the use of the Pills and after taking them a few weeks the swelling in the joints began to go TS SSiale 153 WON en o> COALS OF FIRE --From The New York Evening Telegrams LIFE AT THE DARDANELLES. Scotch Soldier Gives Wonderful Pen Picture of Fighting. ; The following description of trench life at the Dardanelles was written by a soldier, aged 21, to his mother in Scotland:-- The chatter of the trenches is won- werfully cheerful; a mail from home, football, racing, reminiscences of fes- down and the pain was relieved. This greatly encouraged me and I contin- | ;, ued the treatment until in the course | of three months the cure was com- plete.

The military chiefs of the great na-' tions entered the war a year ago wit the settled conviction that any form of protection for the soldier's body | against the missiles of destruction would be vain and valueless. It was. not long, however, before the German, soldier, who had received a forage cap to do his fighting in, was clamoring. for his patent Jeather helmet, spike and all. The very practical French: soldier began wearing at times any | lightweight metal vessel that would fit his head. On both sides, but chief- ly on that of the Germans, specia chest protectors were being worn. In European countries where mili- tary conscription is in force inventors for years have been working on bul- let-proof garments. While in America a certain type of inventor devotes his time to producing a perpetual motion device, in Europe the same type works on an impenetrable waistcoat. and becomes the butt of all the jokesmiths. In the early days of the war it was) found that soldiers received an x: | ceptionally high percentage of 'ee wounds and the French war authori-| ¢ ties took official cognizance of the | fact. But while they were studying! the matter the French soldier quick to see a remedy. He improvised a head covering with tin cans, sauce- | pans, anything that would fit. Finally | the lid of his canteen was requisition-| ed. This was worn, not, of coufse, in thé charge, but in the watchful wait- | ing of the trench. It served to weaken the blow of pro-; jectiles, and was even quite efficient'! against those shrapnel bullets and! high explosive fragments which came over the trench parapet almost spent or weakened in force by ricochetting. | The French war cereremess, B nf pressed by the utility even of a teen lid, gave an order for the im- mediate manufacture of 700,000 light! metal head protectors. These cost | only 7 cents each, but they allowed | the canteen lid to go back to its pris-| tine employment and they served for | a valuable experiment, A record was! kept, and it was found that this new headgear was successful in sixty cases out of one hundred. lon Recent photographs from the front | ° of soldiers in action have showed some | French soldiers with breast protect- | ors.

The romantic marriage of Miss Kathleen Beresford, the daughter of Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, took place more than a year ago, but is just becoming generally known. Shortly before the war broke out, Miss Kathleen, married Edward Blac- que Bey, a young Turkish diplomat who was born in the United States, when his father was Turkish Ambas- sador in Washington. He is the brother of Richard Blacque Pasha, Councillor of the Turkish Ambassdaor /in Vienna, also born in America, who married in the summer of 1911, Miss Josephine Kahlmann, the daughter of Arnold Kahlmann, a millionaire of St. Paul, Minn. Miss Kathleen Beresford, known among her own circle as "Lady Kit- ty," came over from London to act as Miss Kahlmann's bridesmaid at. St. Paul, and she afterwards spent con- siderable time with Dr. and Mrs. Blacque in Berlin and Vienna. Her own marriage took place very quietly, it is stated, as the war was looming near, and shortly afterward the bride and bridegroom left England thro' the m ois t) Sultan upon her marriage, and her : husband, an officer in the army of his 'country, was liable to arrest and de- i tention in a concentration camp. They are now in Vienna, and Miss Kathleen is outspoken in her denun- ciation of the war, blaming all the |diplomats indiscriminately for her exile from Great Britain. She is much attached to her father, Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, and was his companion for yachting parties 7 various kinds of sport. She is petite, pretty brunette, with the typl- cal charm and wit of the Irish maid- en and at Waterford, in Ireland ,the seat of her father's family, at whose head is the Marquis of Waterford, "Lady Kitty" is much beloved. Edward Blacque, like his brother, Dr. Richard Blacque, was educated in England and France. Their mother was an English lady and their father a man of great distinction in his gen- eration. ee TROLLOPE, THE HUNTSMAN. ; Sometimes Got Into Difficulties When | Out With the Hound: In the recently published henge 'of Anthony Trollope, by » Le Escott, there appears a deaveoturiatia anecdote of the novelist. Trollope was always an enthusiastic huntsman, | but since he had a rather heavy seat, 'and was obliged to wear glasses, out with the hounds. "His popularity t | erally brought him timely relief in answer to his call. | "On one occasion he had been mak-' ing up lost ground after a fall in the' middle of a ploughed field. The fel- low sportsman who answered to his ery was no less a personage than the present field marshal, Sir Evelyn | Wood. 'For heaven's sake,' exclaimed | Trollope, 'be careful! I am afraid to, move lest I should trample on my spectacles, which have just fallen off | my nose!' marshal alighted from his horse and retrieved the glasses. Having fitted them to his nose, Trollope rejoined the hunt with as much serenity as if the little accident had never occurr- 7) Of course the average man is above the average.

The pound, therefore, consisted then of 7,680 grains. But several centuries later the penny- weight was divided into twenty-four grains, which made the troy pound 5,760 grains.

The loss of the Lusitania, draws at- tention once again to the possibility of rubber as a sheathing or lining for the hulls of ships to avert or mini- mize a catastrophe such as that which then occurred. A good deal of re- search is understood to have taken place more or less on these lines, and the granting of patents for apparent- ly hopeful devices has been mentioned from time to time. Experiments have shown conclusively that rubber is al- most invulnerable to explosive attacks, and the application of the principle to shipping does not seem to present in- surmountable difficulty.
