The gastric tonics are given in cases of imâ€" paired digestion and poor nutriâ€" tion ; all the soâ€"called bitter tonâ€" ics come under that head. They increase the flow of saliva, hasten digestion, and stimulate the appeâ€" tite. The blood tonics restore to the blood something in which it is temporarily deficient, and especialâ€" ly increase the number of red corâ€" puscles. The general tonics act through the nervous system, imâ€" prove its tone, increase the body weight, and seem to give added strength to all the organs. Naturally anyone who is "run down‘‘ should know just which kind of tonic ought to be used, and no one should use any tonics that have not been prescribed by a competâ€" ent physician ; and above all no one should recommend tonics to anâ€" other merely because they have benefited himself. Most people who need any tonic at all need a scienâ€" tifiec combination of several, and only a physician is competent to deâ€" cide which. When a man‘s nervâ€" ous system is overworked, his diâ€" gestion is generally poor, and he is threatened with the anaemia that is pretty sure to follow a long perâ€" iod of poor digestion.. In such cases the patient needs a compound tonic ; but if he takes one that overâ€" stimulates his nervous system, he may indeed experience a temporâ€" ary feeling of wellâ€"being, but he must beware lest it is followed by a complete breakdown. Let your physician tell you what tonic to take, when to change it, and when to stop taking it.â€"Youth‘s Comâ€" panion. Tonies. The word "tonic‘ comes from the Greek word tonos, which means tone or tension, and is applied to all remedies that physicians give to a patient who is in a state of bodily weakness, and who needs something to improve his tone and increase his strength. _ Doctors formerly thought that tonics acted directly on the nerves and conâ€" tractile tissues, but we now know that the strength or weakness of any organ depends on its nutriâ€" tion, and that tonics help by inâ€" creasing the assimilative powers and aiding nutrition. Stimulants produce an immediate and _ moâ€" mentary effect of the same kind, but tonics act slowly and gradualâ€" ly, and are to be taken for long periods of time. w The river Olyde has been brought to its present draft by dretgin.g, and the Bcotch are very prou (3 it.

Everywhere one sees draperies of tulle flowing from the shoulder to the hem in another color from the grown. Here and there were frocks with the empire waist line, very much like those Josephine wore, with the huge ornament in the front holding sweening skirt lines of plain satin. _ The skirts were narrow for all occasions, ‘but, then, Callot has never tolerated the full _ skirt. White satin frocks were made somâ€" bre by long swinging draperies of ‘black tulle hanging from the shoulâ€" ders in the back.

The Imperial ukase which forbade the manufacture and sale of Vodka in the Czar‘s dominions will cost the government nearly half a billion dollars each year, in loss of reveâ€" nue from that source alone! Callot showed evening frocks in mauve, rose, black and salmon pink. Several of the best evening frocks were in violet and lavender. A sensation was caused by a bridal gown, which Callot has not shown before, made of white satin with green embroidery, the bodice quite decollete. As brides have not worn the low corsage for many years, this innovation, along with the use of green embroidery, makes one pause. How the Nations Are Handling the Drinking Curse. A few months ago, and since the beginning of the great European war, the world was amazed to learn that the Czar of Russia, by one stroke of the pen, had put a stop The hero of Russia, Michael D. Tebelisheff, who was the prime mover in this prohibitive scheme, is now the most popular man in the, great empire. He was a peasant by birth, and by keen business ability became a Russian multiâ€" millionaire, but he did not make his money in the Vodka traffic. He has been a foe to Vodka from his youth up, having witnessed its termible ravages. It is said that while in his "teens,""‘ a book was put into his hands, describing the poisoning effects of Vodka (alcoâ€" hol) on the human body. It made a deep and lasting impression, and ae thereupon took un the systemaâ€" cH.t,udy of the Vodka evil 4 e was elected mayor of éunam, and attempted to curtail the traffic in this favorite intoxicant in that city, but failed. Later he was sent to the Duma, Russia‘s Parliament, and managed to get that body to Ea.ss a bill to lafi:l every Vodka ottle ‘"Poison.‘‘ This measure was rejected by the Imperial Counâ€" cil, but he was not discouraged. He took this case direct to the Czar, and laid before him all the Doucet, for exanmple, made a specialty of threeâ€"piece suits, a few long coats and many short ones, which had a slightly empire waist line. Midnight blue and old rose were the colors used. Many of his best evening frocks were black, made of lace and jet and of quantities of tulle. Skirts Short, Bodices Tight.

LLOYD GEORGE ON DRINK. Fashion Hints oo o 4 Ne e t wickae T6 TORONTO He asserted that drink was doing more harm to the nation than all Germany‘s submarines and Zeppeâ€" lins combined. And all this has been brought about scientifically by observing the blighting influences of alcohol upon the efficiency of workmen, civilians and soldiers. Drunkenness is no longer a social jokeâ€"it is a social mistake,â€"and everybody is now learning that fact. He asserted that workmen who insisted upon their drink holiday, when efficiency was impaired by alâ€" eohol, and who put less intelliâ€" gence or energy into their labor as a consequence, were doing Britain incalculable harm. Few, indéed, are the men or woâ€" men who would hesitate to declare themselves ‘""in favor of peace." No neutral nation can hate war with half the intensity of hate felt by the nations who are bearing war‘s burdens. But declarations in favour of peace may be repreâ€" sented as condemning all who fight, and such use has been made of them during this war. Though we may hate war, and though we may admit that there is a‘lways wrong at the root of war, yet we cannot _ unconditionally _condemn all war, nor regard al belligerents as equally guilty. History teaches Mr. George then declared that the Government, inspired by the action, or rather the results of prohibition â€" measures of Russia and France in suppressing the use of â€"Vodka and absinthe, had deâ€" cided to take hold of the problem firmly. He declared that the Govâ€" ernment was armed with full powâ€" ers for the defense of the Kingdom, and meant to use them against the drink evil as a national enemy. _ Toronto, March 16th.â€"In cvonnecâ€" tion with letters and circulars that have been sent broadcast throughâ€" out Canada, especially from neuâ€" tral countries, for the purpose of bringing the war to an immediate close and generally propagating a peace movement throughout the country, the following important statement has been issued by the National Committee for Patriotic Service. The statement is signed by Mrs. Gooderham, president, and Mrs. Plumptre, Secretary of the Committee. The statement is as follows :â€" Letters and circulars in praise of peace have been issued,, calling on women all over the world to unite in a great effort to stop the war. In some cases, signatures to a peâ€" tition are requested; in others membership in a Peace Society. In these circumstances, the Committee calls your attention ‘to the followâ€" ing considerations : us that nations and individuals have been compelied to draw: the sword in defence of the rights of the weak and of the principles of truth, honour, and liberty, holding these gieafer than peace, and even than life itself. * The question of restricting the drink evil in Great Britain was recéritly handled by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in a remarkable speech at Bangor, Wales. _ CHAS.

France, too, has shown her true stamina and power to deal with drink, and has insured her future greatness by her action in killing the sale and importation of abâ€" sinthe. It is remarkable that these great reforms are not of moral birth, but have been brought about by a realization of the moral and economic effect of aleohol upon the efficiency of working men, physical and mental, and upon the general gggenera.cy of the civilian and solâ€" ier. years in gathering. The Czar beâ€" came alarmed at the disclosures and made a personal investigation. What he learned to ‘be the truth astonished him still more, and at the outset of the war he ordered all vodka shops (saloons) closed proâ€" visionally. _ . _ . * For a month the effect of .comâ€" pulsory temperance was tabulated and strictly observed. The ukase xorked so utidactorillx and splenâ€" idly that the Czar ordered a final elosing of all saloons and the stopâ€" page of all manufacture of vodka. This was extraordinary, for the government itself was interested in the manufacture of this drink, and faced the loss of one of the heaviest gources of revenue. It is difficult to conceive the tremendous effect of the Czar‘s orâ€" der, for Russians consumed more liquor proportionately than any other people, and there are about 170,000,000 of people in â€"Russia. Drunkenness has been its chief curse, yet at a word, every vodka shop and factory in that huge emâ€" pire was closed tight. Autocracy is a fime thing when wielded by a levelâ€"headed monarch. Reports from the empire show that Russia found the change so beneficial that no one would now listen to a proposal to go back to the old traffic in vodka. The« reâ€" sults have fully justified the drasâ€" tic order of the éur. Rusgsia has been regenerated and revolutionizâ€" ed, if her Press speak the truth. Crime ‘has diminished over 40 per cent, policemen are not needed to keep the peace, and the prisons and insane asylums are being emptied rapidly. M.

When He tells us to go the second mile with the disturber who has already comâ€" mandeered the first we see in that picturesque illusion the reality that no sacrifice is too great to win a soul from the dark ways of hate.

Utterances rich in symâ€" bolism and imagery, owing (their impressiveness to the imagination which clothed them and addressed to the ears of all generations, are robbed of their essential meaning, or distorted beyond recognition when the worshipper of the letter exaggerates that at the expense of the spirit. The Master recognized war to this extent, that He drew a parallel from the strategies of a king who watched anxiously the progress of an invading army on his borders ; He commended the centurion‘s disâ€" cipline, He had a tender place in His heart for the soldier. Peter carried a sword to the scene of the treachery of Judas and used. it there. Jesus sternly rebuked him for the rash act, because the Divâ€" ine Sufferer chose to win by higher means than the sword.
