"It would be hard to fully describe the change in the children, they have grown so sturdy and strong, and we attribute this change to the food eleâ€" ments that, I understand, exist in Grapeâ€"Nuts and Postum. interes{ "Now we give the little folks some fruit, either fresh, stewed, or canned, some Grapeâ€"Nuts with cream, occaâ€" sionally some softâ€"boiled eggs, and some Postum for breakfast and supâ€" per. Then for dinner they have some meat and vegetables. When there is a growing family to eare for and the mother falls ill it is a& serious matter. Many mothers who _ uze on the go from morning to night, #Â¥whose work, apparently, is never done, try to disguise their suffering and keep up an appearance of cheerâ€" / fulness before their family. Only themselves know how they are disâ€" tressed by backaches and headaches, dragging down pains and nervous weakness; how their nights are often w sleepless, and they arise to a new ~ day‘s work tired, depressed and quite unrefreshed. . Such women should know that their sufferings are usually due to lack of good nourishing blood. They should know that the one thing they need above all others to give them new health and strength is rich, red blood, and that among all mediâ€" C cines there is none can equal Dr. Wilâ€" liams‘ Pink Pills for their bloodâ€"makâ€" ing, healthâ€"restoring qualities.

The writer attempts to prove that heavy artillery has not, in spite of the prevailing opinion to the contrary, taken the place of the individual solâ€" dier in modern warfare. He quotes in support of this argument the bomâ€" bardment announced by the German General Staff on March 10, when the Allies used 100,000 shells in twentyâ€" four hours on a front of eleven kiloâ€" meters. The cost of this bombardâ€" "nent is estimated at $1,625,000. "In the Francoâ€"German war," he says, "a German battery fired on an average 200 shells from each gun. In the Manchurian war the average had already risen to twice that figure. These totals are far exceeded byi those of the present war. In the whole of the war of 1870â€"71 the Gerâ€"! man artillery fired 817,000 shells. Of these 470,000 were used in the sieges of French fortresses and $38,000 on the field. Of the latter total 10 per cent. was fired off in the battle of St. Privat alone. In the Russoâ€"Japanese war the total was 954,000." Interesting statistics _ concerning munitions of war are given by a wriâ€" ter in the Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin in an article in which the great outery for more munitions in England and in France is denounced as being insinâ€" cere and caused chiefly by a desire to explain and excuse the failure of the Allies every time they have assumed the offensive.

"A widely known American misâ€" sionary who arrived at Constantinoâ€" ple the first week in September, deâ€" clared he saw as many as 15,000 Arâ€" menians collected around one station waiting to be sent on this journey from which none would ever return.

"Once on the other side, they are supplied with enough food for a few days and told to continue their jourâ€" ney to the neighborhood of Mosul, as they will now be in perfect safety. The region is nothing but a desert, and before many hours marauding bands of Kurds or Bedouins rob and pillage these helpless men, women and children, so that those who are not actually slain die of hunger or thirst. Not one ever reaches the intended destination, for should any one try to escape in another direction, Turkish shepherds have orders to shoot them at sight. ’ Specialists who have devoted their lives to the treatment of stomach ailâ€" |ments, now tell us that many people |\ who complain about their stomachs ‘have no stomach ailment at all.

"The Turks are gradually but effecâ€" tively exterminating the Armenian people," asserts the Dedeaghatch corâ€" respondent of the London Times. "The modus operandi is to send from each Armenion village day by day as many persons as a train can carry. When they arrive at Konish, or some adjacent station, they are turned out and an eccort furnished over the Taurus Mountains. on a box of this wonderful vegetable remedy. If After Eating You Have Pain, Stomach Needs Aid One of the means employed to proâ€" long the life of the flower is to reâ€" move the anthers, so as to prevent the spreading of the pollen, for, if fertiâ€" lization is allowed to take place, the flower has fulfilled its mission and soon fades. In flowers of the lily orâ€" der the anthers are removed for still another reason. They develop such an abundance of yellow pollen that it falls and taints the leaves, thus marâ€" ring the spotless white beauty of the flower. The stems of flowers that beâ€" gin to hang their heads are placed in very hot water for about five minutes, and then are placed in a dark and cool place for about an hour. The instruments used by the French florists to prolong the life of cut flowâ€" ers and remove imperfections are as numerous and delicate as those on a wellâ€"equipped dressingâ€"table. They inâ€" clude sceissors of all sizes and shapes, small cuttingâ€"pliers and pincers of many kinds, â€"brushes, atomisers, sprays, and bottles, containing variâ€" ous gums. A withered leaf or even one poorly developed ruins the apâ€" pearance of a rosebud, consequently the one is cut off, and the other, is possible, is reshaped. The buds are also pierced as near the base of the flowers as possible, with minute wires which keep the leaves in place. An instrument very similar to a curlingâ€" iron is used to dress a faulty leaf. Numerous Instruments Are Used By French Florists. THE GROOMING OF FLOWERS. ARMENIANS PERSECUTED. King Constantine, of Greece. Artillery Expert Dies. The death is announced of Lieutenâ€" ant Colonel Locarde, a distinguished French artillery expert. His death is said to have been due to overwork. During the present war he introduced several new forms of high explosive projectiles for close trench fighting. His is also the credit for the invenâ€" tion of the hydroâ€"pneumatic brake, which is the most novel and important feature of the famous French 75â€"mm. gun. In rough seas the waves break over their heads, and the seaplane they are maneuvering is tossed about like a cork. Yet in true naval spirit the mechanics of the Naval Air Servâ€" ice carry out their hazardous duties cheerfully, happy in the knowledge that they are doing their bit toward crushing out the might of the Gerâ€" mans. Most naval air mechanics are acâ€" complished swimmers, and possess a constitution of iron. When the navy‘s great seaplanes are launched the meâ€" chanies generally have to wade up to their necks into the water to maneuyâ€" er the machine from the shore. To plunge into ieyâ€"cold water in the half light of dawn is not a pleasant task, yet it is one which the sailor mechanâ€" ies have to carry out almost daily. â€"_In the large type of military or naval aeroplanes, which weigh over a ton, air mechanics often have to ascend with the pilot to tend the enâ€" gine. If the latter proves refractory a descent is made and the "A. M." has to get to work with his tools, often within range of the enemy‘s guns. The air mechanic, as many may imaâ€" gine, does not keep out of danger well in the rear of the firing line. There are times when they have to make venturesome dashes on a motor reâ€" pair lorry to assist an aviator who has landed close to the enemy‘s lines. If the aeroplane on such occasions is beyond repair, the mechanics have to pull it to pieces and pack it on a lorry, dodging as shells directed at artillery. Starting up the powerful aeroplane engines used in military machines is an important task of the air mechanic. He has to swing the 8â€"foot propeller in the front or rearr of an aeroplane and jump to safety before it gets into its stride. The slightest slip would mean disaster, for the large blades of an aeroplane propeller turn at a speed of over a thousand revolutions a minâ€" ute and they will cut through any obâ€" struction with the ease that a razor severs a bar of soap. When airships start on voyages the mechanics, by means. of numerous trailer ropes, hold the swaying vessel to earth until the signal is given to let go. In a wind a lighterâ€"thanâ€"air machine is a difficult monster to manâ€" age. It plunges and rears in the air with the unexpectedness of a broncho, and the mechanics are continually beâ€" ing lifted off their feet as the airship wrenches at the trailer ropes.. Woe betide the unfortunate mechanic who becomes entangled in a rope as the airship rises in the air. He is likely to be lifted to a height of several hundred feet, and to save his neck he must cling to the rope for ten or fifteen minutes while the airship is maneuvered back to earth. The Work Requires Steady Nerves, for It Entails Great Risks. The tragic death of a naval air mechani¢c at Hoo aerodrome, in England, recently, who, after being lifted to a height of 700 feet by a trailer rope of an airship, lost his grip and fell to the ground, calls attention to the dangerous work daily earried out by the men behind the air serâ€" vices. The safety of the aeroplanes and airships used by the Royal Elying Corps and the Naval Air Service are dependent upon the conscientious work of the mechanics. Pilots themâ€" selves have not the time to personally examine every strut wire or bolt on their machines before taking them over the enemy‘s lines, and this imâ€" portant task is left to the "A. M.‘s," as they are termed. The work of the air mechanic requires steady nerves, for it entails daily risks.

There is a new story in circulation about Michael O‘Leary, the Irish V.C. During his visit to London a compaâ€" triot greeted him _ enthusiastically and begged a single button from his coat. O‘Leary, without a smile, anâ€" swered: "I‘ll do better than that. A single button is too little for you. Just go across the street there and tell the man inside that I sent you and he will give you an entire set." The place was a recruiting office. It costs one halfpenny a pound to send bacon from Petrograd to the United Kingdom, and slightly less for butter. "To have performed so delicate an operation in such cireumstances is a considerable feat, for the raid was a serious one, a good many bombs were dropped, several persons were killed and injured and the feeling at the moâ€" ment was naturally one of intense apâ€" prehension. Some of the bombs hit a house in the neighborhood, the resiâ€" dence of another wellâ€"known practiâ€" tioner. Luckily no one was at home at the time and the medical practiâ€" tioner got off with the destruction of a certain amount of property. The experience recorded will no doubt inâ€" sure the taking by medical men genâ€" erally of the precautions which in this case had been fortunately obâ€" served." The horse races and other social attraction, which bring the elite of society to Trouville, France, at this season every year, are lacking this year, but the famous resort is still lively with a throng that is made up largely of convalescent soldiers and their nurses. Some of the biggest hoâ€" ' tels are hospitals, some of the elegant villas also, but there are enough chilâ€" , dren to prevent the beach from being | submerged in gloom. "Taught by experience, the operator had made it a matter of habit to warn his nurses and other assistants that lamps should be kept ready for use during all operations which had to be undertaken at night. This precaution may have saved the small patient‘s life. With but a trifling delay the tracheotomy was completed and the child is now doing well. "During one of the recent air raids on the east coast a wellâ€"known surâ€" geon was performing an operation of tracheotomy at a nursing home when the German aircraft came over the place at night. The town electric curâ€" rent was at once cut_off.. All the lights went out suddenly, and this too at the very moment when the surgeon in question was opening the windpipe. Fortunately it was not the first attack delivered against this place, a fishing and sea bathing resort. Baby‘s Own Tablets will promptly cure constipation of childhood..

Air raids are becoming so frequent that inhabitants of small towns on the east coast of England are getting used to them. The London Lancet tells the following story of an operaâ€" tion performed during one of the German raids: SURGEON READY FOR AIR RAID. The sands of Trouville are also the scene of, interesting military operaâ€" tions. All along the beach, from Deauville to Trouville, there is an alâ€" most uninterrupted series of trenches built by the ‘contingents of 1930 to 1935, now in their fifth to tenth year, who are working under the direction of convalescent soldiers. Bathers are obliged to give the countersign in orâ€" der to pass, and, then, they are disâ€" tinctly: informed, it is at their own risk and peril, for their are labyrinths everywhere in imitation of those at the front. If a high west wind fills the trenches with sea water, recalling the winter campaign along the Yser, it heightens the joy of the 5 to 10â€" yearâ€"old "poilus," who jump into them in their bathing suits and make more noise than ever.
