' The close connection which exists between the heart and the kidneys is well known nowadays. As soon as kidneys are diseased, arterial tension is increased and the heart functions are attacked. When the kidneys no longer pour forth waste, uremic poisoning occurs and the person dies, and the cause is often given as heart disease, or disease of brain or lungs. iBigzl It invavéobdwinaurancevagainst such a risk to send 10 cents for a. large trial package 9fjAn§yic”â€"thp‘ latest glis- cove of Dr. Pierce.

AND He Sells Cheap Numerous instances are related of pilots charging the anti-aircraft gun- ners and machine gun operators at a height of thirty or forty feet and silencing the guns. Pistol duels be- tween the British aviators and the German infantry were not uncom- mon occurrences. In one instance a young aviator, in a burst of chivalry, deliberately stopped his machine gun when a German ofiicer drew his pis- tol and began shooting at him and engaged the enemy with his pistol, apparently feeling that he had no right to take an unfair advantage of his opponent. The aviator’s pistol was sufficient, however. ' Two German battleplan-es appear- ed on the scene and the Briton en- gaged them both, sending one to earth and putting phe 'other to flight. He pursued the fleeing plane, but it was soon lost in the clouds. His next objective was a troop train. He traveled along its entire length, pumping bullets into the crowded cars. This completes the story of one aviator’s fights for the day, but he later did valuable scout- ing work over the enemy’s lines. There are some incidents about the mascots in the big naval battle which are worth repeating, says The London Post. The mascot on the Tiger was a bulldog, a fine fellow. When getting into the battle the crew was a bit concerned as to how their favorite would take the crash- ing of high explosives on the ship, so they plugged his ears with cotton wool, wrapped his head around as if he had a heavy dose of toothache, and a couple of men took the bull- dog, much to his annoyance, to a room that was thought to-‘ be as quiet as the ship could provide. The dog didn’t quite fancy being treated as an invalid and resented the coddling, but when the shots began he took it pretty badly, and was mighty glad he had a pal sitting on either side holding him by the paws. In the meantime a large body of German soldiers had gathered around the machine which had been brought down. The British flying man came sweeping back from the mists in which he had hidden and accounted for several of their number with his machine gun. v Leaving the airdrome, he attacked two German mounted officers and put them to flight. A little later he encountered 1‘ column of 200 troops and swept along the line, with his gun working steadily. The entire column was dispersed and fled by devious ways to cover, leaving num- bers of their comrades lying in the road. e-‘t~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~° were.» Daring Brit sh Aviators Show chieriul heroism ln iighting the Teutons TYPICAL instance of the wonderful heroism of the British aviators was re- cently related in the cflicial d-espatches. A British airman cross- ed the Ypres salient just as the in- fantry attack began at dawn. For a. time he patroled the roads and canals, now and then running the gauntlet of enemy fire at a height of thirty feet in order to secure inform- ation for the guidance of the "nfan- try in their advance. During this Patrol work he came to a German airdrome. Owing to the early hour only one enemy was stirring outside the shed, and he paused in his abluâ€" tions only long .-nough to satisfy himself that the plane above him was not one of his own. The British air- man circled low and dropped a bomb squarely on one of the sheds. This brought numbers of Germans tumbling in a panic from the buildâ€" ings. Ile turned his machine gun on them, and circling about the field, bombed two Other sheds with disas- trous effect. All the time he kept up a steady stratum of machine gun fire at the Ueramns, a number of whom were killed or wounded. Tho Teutons finally got a machine gun into action as. ainst him, but he di-ved, and at tventy feet silenced it with his own gun. Having put this gun out of action, he circled the field, firing with his machine gun through the doors of buildings at the huddled enemy within. At one time his machine actually touched the ground. Another boat had a fine, big black cat. He was overlooked when they got into action, and the first shell that came aboard this fellow got loose and took a flying dive over- board. As the boat was going about twenty-seven kno'.s, even the ten- der-hearted Jack Tar could hardly risk going after Ton'my. On an- other ship they had a little bantam, which strutted about more proudly than the dinkiest midshipman, and with as big a show of courage as the hardiest of the old seadogs. The tars were proud of the “swank” their pet could assume before strangers. When the first German shell crashed on board the bantam lost all his fine show and flew down one of the ventilators. When he was rescued and photographed after the fight he presented a bedraggled ap- pearance. A Quaint People. Endeavoring to explain Mr. Bonar Law’s statement on the abandonment of the Mesopotamia proceedings to a French gentleman, writes a corres- pondent of the Manchester Guardian I pointed out that Mr. Dillon had 39- cured permission to move the ad- journment of the House. “Ah," he said, that is to stop discussion. It will prevent the Left from objecting, [or there can be no more Speech, Wonderful parliamentarians, you English.” I explained that the ad- journment motion meant more speech instead of none at all, and he was astonished. “Truly quaint peo- iple, you English,” he observed.

In these days of the Irish conven- tions, when the delegates who are to settle the future of the country are meeting and separating again day by day in Dublin, making history, it can scarcely fail to be that, when resting from their labors, they will, Irish- men all as they are, renew a grateful acquaintance with the gracious coun- tryside which lies around the capital city of Ireland. There will surely be the run out to Kingstown, in the cool of the late afternoon, when the west- ering sun is flashing a thousand sparkles from the white granite rocks and blue waters, “to see the mail come in.” There will be the pilgrimage to Killiney Hill, with its great panorama of coast line, from Lambay to Bray Head and beyond. There will be the drive out to Howth, and round by the Bailey Light, the run through Old Fingal, and an even- ing excursionâ€"maybe, when the full moon is rising slowly out of the sea â€"by the coast road to Bray and Greysaones. But they, as has been said, they are all Irishmen, and they Will not need guidebooks, nor to place them- selves in the charge of some enter- prising cicerone, and it goes without saying that many of them will de- part from the beaten track, beautiful as that track is, and, singly or in groups of twos or threes, go to visit pl-aces seldom seen by the official tourist, or, at any rate, never by him explored. There is one such place which is almost sure of a visit. It is where the white road from Dundrum to Enniskerry leaves the County Dublin behind it, and runs on into the Coun- ty Wicklow. The way has been climbing for some time, the gentle sweep of the Dublin Mountains has been the everchanging view to right and left for miles, and then, sudden- ly, straight ahead, the road leaps up and meets the sky; whilst high above it, on either side, rise steep walls of rock and pine. It is the Scalp Pass, or just the Scalp, as every one calls it. The ordinary tourist passes through it with just a glance about him, but the Irishman who revisits Dublin, as Wordsworth revisited Yar- row, will not be content with so hur- ried a View. He will, almost as a matter of course, leave his motor, or maybe, even still, his outside car, by the roadside, and make the rocky climb to the summit of the hill to the right. There is a wonderful prospect from the top, and perhaps the most joyful thing about it is the near view which one gains of the familiar out- line of the Great Sugar Loaf. The man who knows Dublin has seen this mountain in the distance from many different points: from the sea, far or! on the western horizon, as he crosses the Channel from England; from the heights of Howth; and, every now and again, from the shore road out to Kingstown. Now, from the top of the Scalp, it is as though he suddenly saw it through a telescope. The ten- der blue-gray of the distant outline has come out into rock and trees and soft green grass, but it is still the same familiar mountain, with the smiling valley of the Vartray spread out at its feet. And all around it are other mountains, the Little Sugar Loaf away to the left, whilst, farther off to the south, the gray form of Doure lifts its 2,300 feet into the sky. Immediately bzneath where the traveller stands, the white road winds sharply downhill towards En- niskerry, and so on, over the Dargle, towards the wonders of the Vale of Clara and Avonmore. â€" Christian Science Monitor. . Opposite Marble Arch in London stands the home of Lady Battersea, which in pre-war days was the centre of social activity. Now it is the head- quarters ot the Red Cross Library and is run by Mrs. Gaskell and an army of voluntary assistants. The house is packed with books from floor to ceiling, they cover the walls, are piled up on tables and shelves, overflow into the servants’ quarters, and even into the stables at the back of the house. Nearly 50,000 books a week are sent out to all parts of the world, and, in addition to gifts, 100,000 books and magazines are purchased monthly. The tastes of the soldiers are remarkable, and an amazing light has been thrown on the matter of best sellers. Far away into the millions soars the demand for Nick Carter detective stories. Every hospital in France, of which there are some 290, receives a parcel of 130 books every three weeks. Poetry is very largely in demand and ranges from Shakespeare to modern living poets. The colonial soldier has an insatiable curiosity and his chief demand is for the Encyclopedia Britannica in 40 volumes. No de- mand is refused whether it be for the latest handbook on oil engines, theosophy, poultry farming, or box- ing. These parcels of books go forth to all parts of the world wherever the British soldier is fighting. Malta re- oeived 7,000 per month, Basrah 9,000, Alexandra 3,000, Salonica 2,000, and even units in East Africa, Italy, and Russia are supplied. The Admiralty requested the library to supply every sailor in the fleets with a book. Urgent summons are received and when Gallipoli was filling the hOSDi. tals a cable message came “send 25,000 books at once, light and good print.” The ether day a request â€"â€"‘ 3 ___.J_Lo -â€"_-- came from Boulogne and within an hour and a half 3,000 books had been sent in response. An American soldier, one of the contingent that paraded in London in August, went into a saloon to get a glass of beer. It was served warm, as is the custom there, and, address- ing the barmaid, he said: “Isn’t that beer a little stale?” To which the barmaid replied: “W’hy shouldn’t it be? It’s beg], waiting for you for two years.” \VONDROFS PROSPECT. A Unique Library. A Little Stale. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE.

On Friday morning, Miss .Julia Weir. the Vice-president, was in atâ€" londance and occupied the chair, after scripture reading by Rev. Mr. McLean, followed by prayer by the Rm.Mr.Leyp01dt. Miss Margaret Kerr, otVarney, took up the subject, “The Play- ground and the Playhour”, which should be spent as much as possible in the open air. Boys and girls should be taught to play together, but rude or dangerous games should be carefully avoided. The teacher should join in the games, and the grounds should be a model of neat- IIBSS,\fP€0 from all kinds of litter. Discussion followed, by Principal Allan, Principal Morton, Miss Weir and Inspector Wright. Inspector Wright took up the subject of Arithmetic, with special reference to decimals. He advised thorough preparation of every les- son to be taught, and the advisabil- ity of an abundance of mechanical work in the simple-rules. Rapid calculation and mental arithmetic should take a prominent place in school work. The teacher should give short range examination work for review. Slow, but thorough work was enjoined. In arithmetic, common sense is an essential. Free discussion followed. Miss Mamie Burgess, of the Hano- ver school staff, introduced the sub- ject of “Uniform County Promo- tions”. She thought the recent Jun- ior.III. papers in Arithmetic and Spelling were too difficult, and ad- vised giving easier questions and higher percentages.
