' Seventeen women nurses in the Jtussian Red Cross service have lbeen killed on the battlefield while in the performance of their duty. LAn official "eye witness” attached to the staff of Grand Duke Nicholas, the Russian commander-in-chief, says that the nurses have shown conspicuous bravery. These Pills are sold by all med- icine dealers or may be had by mail at 50 cents a, box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Med- jcipe Co., Brockville, Ont. The latest victim was Mlle. Lud- mila, Alexinsky, who has just died at her home new Odessa of blood- poisoning, which followed a wound. Mlle. Alexinsky was wounded in the brnd at the battle of Gumbinen. ter her recovery she was trans- rreelto the army of General Ruz- ski in Galicia, At Razwadok, adoc- for, whom she was assisting, was killed by a bursting shell and Mlle. Alexinsky was badly stunned. Dur- ing the Rsgow-Tuschin battle she was under fire 17 hours. She was wounded through the shoulder at the storming of Petrokoff, which wound caused her death.

HEROIC RUSSIAN NURSES. THREE REASON S. LOVING WORDS. Canadians Responding. to Needs of the Soldiers and their Families. For the, past month the French, British, and Servian soldiers, to say nothing of the remnant of the gallant Belgian army, have been fighting under the most appalling conditions such as have never before been experienced in the wars of history. For days and nights/hy have been compelled to remain in trenches half full of water with the winds of heaven beating continually upon them. Yet they have not com- plained. Are they downhearted? No! They are bearing all this mis- ery and suffering thaiftltt, arms of Britain, France and Belgium may be crowned with victory and that the homes of England and France may remain inviolate. How can we show our gratitude to these brave men? If every man, woman and child in Canada were to give one dollar to the Red Cross Society over seven million dollars could be spent in sav- ing hundreds of lives and bringing comfort to millions of brave soldiers who are ready to lay down their lives for the freedom of their native land. One dolllar would not be missed and to what more worthier object could such a, sum be given? The lives of our men are valuable to us, the victory of our arms is vital to our very status as a nation, therefore upon our shoulders de- volves the responsibility of doing our share in making the existence of our brave soldiers as pleasant as circumstances will permit and in saving every life that it is humanly possible to save. Mr. J. K. Osborne, whose name is familiar to Canadians, writing re- cently to the Canadian Red Cross Commissioner in London, Says:-- "As Canadians, we are exceedingly anxious to do what we can for the benefit and comfort of our soldiers. Like many others, we are» short of money but we have a beautiful motor car which we are sure can be made most useful. We want to give it for hospital work. We desire to present to the Red Cross Society our Limousine car. This is not a loan, it is a free gift. We have the start of you in the way of comforts for the boys on Salisbury Plains. My wife and two other ladies have already sent for distribution about 300 body belts, about 175 pairs of mittens, besides mufflers, helmets, etc. They will all be wanted and many more." Such a spirit is worthy of one of our leading citizens. There are many who cannot give motor cars but all can give of their substance for the greatest of all causes, the cause) of humanity. Subscriptions and comforts of all kinds will be warmly welcomed and should be addressed to the Canad- ian Red Cross Society, 77 King St., East, Toronto, Canada. A MOTH ERTS ANXIETY Most mothers are anxious when their little ones are teething, for at this time the baby's stomach gets disordered and there is a, grave danger of convulsions. This anxiety can be lessened, however, if the mother keeps a supply of Baby's Own Tablets in the house and gives an occasional dose to her teething baby. The Tablets are the very best medicine in the world during the teething time. They regulate the bowels, sweeten the stomach, promote healthful sleep and make teething painless. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from, The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

The London Daily Chronicle says: "There appears from time to time in the Russian papers a statement that women volunteers are fighting in the German ranks, and now the Warsaw correspondent of the Dyan, of Petrograd, has actually seen these amazons among the wounded at present being treated at the Ouyazdoff hospital. He says there were seven women who were Cap- tured while fighting in German uni- forms. They were placed together in a special ward. "Judging by the nature of their wounds they have taken part not only in ride practice, but also in bayonet attacks. One of them, who had a, serious wound, has since died. They are fine specimens of Teutonic womanhood, and the Russian nurses greatly admire their finely developed muscles, which seem to indicate that they have belonged for years to German gymnastic so- 'bieties. "In captivity they behave with the same haughty and contemptu- ous indifference which characterizes the Prussian officers. One of the nursing sisters brought to them a Russian newspaper, the Petrograd Herald, which is printed in German but they indignantly rejected the of- fer and said they did not believe anything which appeared in a. Rus- sian paper, even when printed in German. They refused to talk of their homes and families, but, judg- ing by their demeanor, they seem to belong to the upper or upper-mid- dle class." - ‘ Fine feathe rs do butcher. GERMAN W0 MEN SOLDIERS.

L'Anse-a-Valleau, Gaspe Co., Que., Jam. 25th (Special)--" am happy to tell, you Dodd’s Kidney Pills made me well." So says Jean Baptiste Tapp, a well known and highly respected resident of this place. And so thankful is Mr. Tapp for the benefits he has received from Dodd's Kidney Pills that he wants the whole world to know-it. He wants others who suffer as he did to know the cafe. A DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS (TRIED JEAN BAPTISTE TAPP. "For many years I suffered from kidney disease," Mr. Tapp says, "It started from a cold, and gradu- ally grew worse. My skin had a harsh, dry feeling, my appetite was fitful and I perspired, freely with the slightest exertion. I had flashes of light before my eyes and I was al- ways tired and nervous. "Finally rheumatism was added to my troubles, while attacks of sciatica, and neuralgia, followed. This doctor who attended me and tho medicines I tried, failed to help me till I decided to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. I took four boxes in all, and to-day I am a. robust man in exeel- lent health.' , A111 Mr. Tapp ' s troubles came from sick kidneys. That' s why Dodd's Kidney Pills cured them. From the moment that the first shot is fired the centre of gravity ot a military unit rests on the commander --that is why the officer is so import- ant. He must bear the responsibility of the conduct of his whole company. The worse the conditions of the tight, the fiercer the combat, the greater the losses, the fatigue, the tension, the strain upon nerves-the greater grows the responsibility. So writes Captain Solovier, a talented Russian officer who saw service in the Japanese war. Importance of the Officer in Modern Warfare. The war with Japan may be called a war of company commanders. We all saw how continuously, how narrowly, the men watched their officer. Scores ot lives literally depend upon his activ- ity, his energy, and his personal cour- age. The soldiers judge by their offi- cer the condition ot affairs, the degree of danger, of success, or of failure. It is worst of all to Show uncertainty or tear. A commander who does so loses control over his company, and it is impossible to say whether or not it will go bravely into battle. The officer in battle m1ust more, thanever be a commander. Nowhere does the im: portance of discipline tell so much as in combat. Woe to the unit that in time of peace did not become accus- tomed to the maintenance of iron dis. cipline. It will pay dearly for it in war. We often had occasion to notice that a resolute, commanding shout acted in a curiously quieting way on the men. It is useful also to make remarks con- cerning the service. For example, "Whyare the sights not set in that squad? Squad commander, what are you thinking about? Examine and correct them immediately," It the commander is angry, and reproves them for neglect, the soldiers think that he is not worried about anything more important-that everything is go- ing as it should, and that there is no cause tor fear. The men grow calmer, and forget that bullets are whistling round them; they try to set the sights correctly, to take a better position for firing, and begin to aim. During the rear-guard actions, after the Liaoyang retreat, the men, who had already suffered great losses, were exceedingly nervous, lying at night in position, and awaiting the attack of the Japanese. It was the dead of night; the company was on the ex- treme flank, and the sight of Liaoyang in flames was sombre and depressing. The men opened fire from time to time without command, a fierce and unreasoning fire, which only helped to strain still more their already un- strung nerves. Those are the mom- ents in which it is necessary to bring the men to their senses by a joke or a threat, forcing them to grow calm. But the threat must be serious, and the men must feel that it will be executed it need be. Angry words and shouts can do nothing. It must be owned that such a condition of mind among the soldiers is very rare. As a general thing, the calmness and nerves of the soldier are worthy of envy. A Feminine Marvel.

Carried to All Parts of the Field by Motor Truck. In modern warfare the searchlight is invaluable. On dark nights at sea it is the only means of guarding against) torpedo boats, which its beams will re- veal at a distance of two miles or more. On shore it is the electric eye of the army. It is carried to all parts of the field of action by motor truck, and tho motor that propels the vehicle drives the electric generator that supplies the current for the light. Most of these field searchlights are not directed by hand, for each instrument is fitted with what is known as the distant control. Two small motors govern the vertical and the horizontal movements of the light. From them an electric cable runs to the station of the operator, who , although he may be several hundred feet away, can send the rays of the light in any direction he pleases. According to the Navy and Army Illus- trated, one advantage ot this distant control is that the objects picked up by the beam of light can be sighted more quickly and definitely; for it the operator stands behind the light and looks along the beam his vision is hampered by a luminous haze. A second advantage is that the light can be placed in an exposed position with- out endangering the men who run it; were the operator and officer beside the appartus they would be certain to receive the fire that is sure to be poured upon a searchlight, and would suffer the instant the range was found.

These are chiefly rubber and gasoline. . "No; she forgot to give it" to me." German Chemists Are Seeking Sub. stitutes for Them. The necessity for gasoline or a suitable substitute is most pressing, as the transportation problem is the most serious factor in the great war, where men in lines of battle extending for hundreds of miles on both fronts must be kept provided with food and ammunition. vanguw. " ___ r v y W. Benzol possesses very valuable qualities as a fuel, containing 9,560 heat units per kilo, and being only slightly inferior to gasoline in this respect. A disafvynta,gry,iny1ts use The German chemists have turned to benzol and alcohol as substitutes.

Efforts are being made to overcome this disadvantage by adding nibrpgen. There is no dan- ger of its freezing when mixed with alcohol, and the mixture has proved very satisfactory in the experiments: thus far made. There is no short, age of alcohol in Germany, as the available supply in August last was more than 26,000,000 gallons. Problems arising; from the short- age of rubber. are much more Colm- plicated, although they have not the same direct importance in connec- tion with the war. The cutting off of imports of caoutchouc has stimu- lated efforts to manufacture rubber or' its substitutes by the synthetic process. Several satisfactory sub- stitutes have been evolved by com- bining acetone and benzol products with caoutchouc. Another serious problem can fronting the chemists is that of pro- viding the industries and agricul- ture with nitrogen. The importa- tion of saltpetre has been inter- rupted. Saltpetre is used largely in the production of nitric acid, which is important in the manufac- ture of explosives. The supply of saltpetre, therefore, is being con- served for military uses, and chem- ists are making efforts to obtain from other sources the nitrogen ne- ceslsary in agriculture and the vari- ous maoufacturingAndustriets.
