M. Bice, Denver, Col. Democracy must arm to defend ‘agamst autocracy and preserve hu- 'R man freedom. _ le fact we have to face, if Ger- y wins, rightly or wrongly, will 6: Prepare and fight, or suffer national extinction. While this would undoubtedly make the United sStatess the greatest military nation 'on the face of the earth, it would not be because any one here wants _ it, but because it would be our only salvation. Germany, long ago, got rid of the amateurish idea that "that govern- ment is best which governs least," and has developed government as an instrument of overpowering auto- cracy on a scale and with a measure of success hitherto unprecedented. __If: the dreams of military Ger- many come tr,utt, if the doctrines of Treitschke and Bernhardri prevail, there will be no negotiations or compromise of any sort, There will only be ,s-ervile submission of the most humiliating kind, and we could not blame Germany, for she has al- ready given us a foretaste of what to expect in her treatment of ga- lant little Belgium. In such an event the world will become Prus- .sianized everywhere, except per- haps in the United States, and the 'triumph of militarism and absolut- ism would be complete indeed. The spirit ttdemocracy, that has made psych headway in Europe, as in T erica, would be quenched for to come; free thinking would T utterly crushed, and a world, power, such as has never been known in history, would be 'iu7e1 by a war lord so autocratic and domineering, steeped in the teach- ings of such hair-brained anarchists as Nietzsche and his followers, that constitutional government would be annihilated and the mental and moral darkness of the "middle ages" would again settle down upon a world of slaves. Erible war means if the allied Ger- an forces should win. ' Quite apart from all questions 1-0-- lating to the violation of Belgian neutrality, and other discussions about the cause of the war, the im- portant question for Canadians is, How is the war going to affect Can- ada in case of an adverse result.? Of course, if the allies win, and we think they will, there will be a settlement by negotiation, and the result upon Canada cannot be otherwise than favorable; but sup- pose the alliance should win, then what? . Neuralgla. is not a disease-it is only aIsymptom, but a most painful 'one. t is the surest sign that your blood is weak, watery and, impure, and thatior this reason your nerves are literally starving. Bad blood. " the sole cause of the piercing pains of neura,lgia---good rich blood is the only cure. In this you have the reason why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure neuralgia. They are le; only medicine that contain in the correct proportions the elements{ needed to make rich, red blood. This rich blood reaches the root of the trouble, soothes the jangled nerves," drives away the nagging, stabbing pain and braces up your health in other ways as well. Here is proof-Mr. O. J. Lee, Vatchell, Opt., sa,ys:---'trr several years I was- troubled at intervals with neu- ralgia in the head a,nd chest. The Pain I suffered at times was most ntense. I was continually doctor- ing for the trouble, but found noth- . to give me permanent relief un- l I began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Thanks to this medicine my blood has been restored to a healthy condition and every symp- tom of the trouble has disappeared. I can therefore, with confidence, recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to all who suffer from the fierce pains of neuralgia." You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 60 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Broekville, Ont.

I often wonder if the Canadian pplg fully realize what thtpysymt l Unwilling to Tell. l The country school teacher had been tty1ling her scholars about the seasons and their peculiarities, and to impress the facts upon their minds she questioned them upon the points she had given. Several queries had been put, and ' e fh1- ally reached the stupid boy in the corner. "Well, Johnny," she said, "have you been paying attention l" 1"y mum," he answered prompt- ly. I'm glad to try,ysecs it,, Now, can you tell me what there is in the spring?" "Yes'rn, I cam; but I don't want to." "Oh, yes you dol Don't be afraid. Tisa have heard the other Siiolars. Be a good boy nor and tell us what there is in the Nvrfng." "Wy-mr-mum, there' 8 a, frog, an' a, lizard, an' a dead cat in it; but I didn't put 'em there. It was another boy, for I see him do The Berlin "TageblaU," com- menting on this article, thinks that as soon as peace is within sight there will be a. rapid sinking of the thermometer of hate, and that even now the hot, passionate hatred of England, which marked the earlier stages of the war has begun to cool. The "TageblaW' says: "The broad masses of our people know nothing of national hatreds. They have at- tained far too high a civilization for this. They are of Goethe's opinion that the lower the step of culture on which a nation stands the more intense is their, hatred for other peoples." Striking Changes of Opinion Noted in German Nawspapérs. The “Christliche Welt” ("Chris- tian World”), an influential reli- lgious paper published in, Marburg, 'Germany, publishes; notable arti- cle begging German Christians txy pause before they yield themselves to the iusensate hate of England prevailing among so many sections offhe people. _ The article points out that, even admitting the wickedness of Eng- land, it is better to wish for the re- form and improvement of a great nation like the British than to pray for its downfall and destruction. A time will come when this war will be a thing of the past, and the "Christliche Welt” reasonably asks whether Germany will not prefer to deal with a nation purified and en- nobled and open to receive friendly overtures than with ' nation em- bittered by raseoroudi attacks and closed against every overture of human fellowship. Mrs. Alex. Butchard, Conn, Ont. writes:-'Ny daughter has use<l Baby's Own Tablets for her baby and thinks there is nothing to equal them for little ones. All mothers, who have used the Tablets, say the same thing. They break up colds, regulate the bowels and stomach and keep the little ones healthy and happy. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a. box from The Dr.' Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. l Probably one of the real causes of the war was the break down of this great top-heavy machine of the Germans, for it had progressed so far that it could see things only in terms of. force. They made inex- cusable mistakes in diplomacy, to start with, and embroiled England in the conflict unnecessarily. Some of the things her statesmen did and said were of the essence of stupid- ity. It was all right and even com- mendable her efforts to extend trade and develop her industries, but she carried her militarism to the point of fanaticism, so much so that she ceased to be interested, as she was a generation ago, in the in- tellectual life, in music, in art, and in philosophy. She produces no more Wagners, no more Helm- holtzs, no more Kants, or Goethes; but her whole energies have been devoted to creating things that des- troy. It all dates from the Franco- Prussian war and the blood-and- iron policies; of her Bismarck. Might made right, and the "Will to power," continued to develop along those lines. If, in 1848, she had heeded men like Carl Schurz, she would, be a very different nation to- day, but she took the wrong path and developed along materialistic lines, and her downfall is certain. NOTHING CAN EQUAL BABY'S OWN TABLETS F CHAS. M. BICE Denver, Colorado, Feb. 8, 1915. The child was needed by the mili- tary power of the country as an effective flghting machine, and as such must be well fed, amply clothe_d gmd securely housed.' With her usual energy she at- tacked the problem of the 11ney1,- played, not only by the imperial government, but by municipal and local governments, and countless similar organizations, with the re- sult that when the war broke out her marginal floating population of unemployed was less than that of any other country. She OcCOrT1- plished all this by purely "scientific methods. Germany wasted no sen- timent about the matter ,she gauged it as just another problem of na- tional efficiency. ligence organizations. She did not try to "down the trusts," and waste useful energy on those lines, but utilized them, and at the same time she helped the small merchant and dealer p0 develop trade instead of hampering 1t. _ _ WARNING AGAINST HATE. "This recipe is my own idea, and is made as follows: Soak a tea- spoonful of Grape-Nuts in a glass of water for an hour, strain and serve with the beaten white of an egg and a, spoonful of fruit juice for (favouring, This affords a. great deal of nourishment that even the weakest stomach can assimilate without any distress.

A trained nurse says: "In the practice, of my profession I have found so many points in favor of Grape-Nuts food that I t1nhesitat- ingly recommend it to all my pa- tients. It requires some courage to aC- quire this thrift habit, and the very act of sewing inculcates "self-de.. nial, foresight, prudence and Wis- dom." “For age and want save while you may, No morning sun lasts a whole day." Yet the saving of 5 cents a day means the accumulation of $18.75 in twelve months. In five ears it would mean a, little less than $100 cash in hand. That soft drink waste, that cigarette waste, that dhewing gum waste, that candy waste, would make very valuable "rainy day" money when the year was out and gone. C The hahit formed by saving is not counted in this cash account. Some- times it saves from a spell of gas- tric fever or a tobacco heart. The waste that goes for soft drinks and constant cigarette smolr- ing will beget a, spendthrift habit in boys and young men. Very few young people spend less than 5 cents a day. It has to be a very careful or a very poor family that does not give their kids as much as 5 cents a day or even 5 cents a, week. This subject of "habit" is a text often preached from, lectured about, and discussed in private conversation. We hear much about the habit of early rising, also the reading habit, the habit of cleanli- ness, of moderation or excess in eating and drinking, but the habit of thrift, which includes the saving habit, deserves frequent and most honorable mention in all the places mentioned, public and private, and particularly in social and domestic intercourse. Any sum is wasted that is spent for what we do not need. Every penny that a child spends for waste is giving that much leeway to extravagant inclinations. Every cent that is spent by young girls for gewgaws and tawdry deco- rations is worse than wasted. For Dodd's Kidney Pills not only cure. the pain or ache that is caus- ing the most distress, they put the kidneys in good working order and all the impurities and poisons are strained out of the blood. The re- sult is that new strength is carried to every part of the body. That's why so many sufferers cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills sum up their condition, "I feel like a new man.” New energy is new life. You can't have it with sick kidneys. With healthy kidneys you must have it, Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy kidneys. We all know that children, as well as grown people, are either helped or hindered by the habits they form and which become very influential in the development of character, for good or evil.
