A soldier is.a "grabby" or "leathâ€" erâ€"neck." â€" But a "soldier‘s wind" means nothing militaryâ€"it is merely a fair breeze. A marine calls his bluejacket pal a "fatfoot," in return for which he is halled as "Joey." The ship‘s cook is "slushy," and an artificer is "chippy chap." Even the chaplain does not escape. He is the "devil dodger."

Only those who have endured the suffering, sometimes for days at a stretch, can realize . the agony of the victims. Noises increase the pain; food is unthought of, for it only adds to the distress. When the attack is on there is little to be done until it passes away. These headâ€" aches are nearly always a danger sigâ€" nal that too frequently pass unheeded. They are the symptoms of many malaâ€". dijes, such as anaemia, constipation, indigestion, etc., and when these aro cured the headaches permanently disâ€" appear. Headaches are more often a sign of weak, watery piood than anyâ€" thing else, and the most successful treatment, therefore, is a remedy that will rebuild the blood and make it rich )and red. This can best be done through a fair course of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills, which has a special action on the blood, and through the blood on the nerves. In this way Dr. Wilâ€" liams‘ Pink Pills have been found inâ€" valuable in a wide range of diseases due to poor,â€"watery blood, such as anaemia, rheumatism, indigestion, afâ€" ter effects of influenza, neuralgia, ett. The effectiveness of this tonic treatâ€" ment is illustrated in the following case: Mrs. Geo, Arn, R.R. No. 6, Simâ€" coe, Ont., says:â€""Some years ago my daughter, then a young girl of eleven, became very much run down and nerâ€" vous. She was troubled greatly with sick headaches, andâ€" frequently with vomiting spells, and although we lived just across the road from the school, she was not able to attend. She was taking medicine all the time, but it did not seem to do her any good. I had often read of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills, and finally decided to give them to her. By the time she had taken two boxes she seemed much better, and before the fifth box was finished, she was again in the best of health and has always since enjoyed the best of health. I am satisfied it was Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills that restored her, and I have since seen equally good reâ€" sults in other cases." You can get Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams‘ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Have you got a grievance? We most of us have; yet harboring a grievance is one of the most foolish forms of hoarding. Women usually have a great many more grievances than men. They are more introspective, also more intuiâ€" tive. They feel even the slights they cannot see. Men are more frank with one another. If they are annoyed they say so; women sometimes smile, even when they feel very hurt. It is a wellâ€"known fact that many womenâ€"run concernsâ€"including clubs â€"break down owing to disagreements among the ladies. Women take ofâ€" fence, and as has been said already, they do not always show it, but they nurse & grievance, until it becomes a bitter senise of wrong and a heavy mind burden. Now, why ahould.n't‘we have any grievances? It‘s wrong and unâ€"Chrisâ€" tian, of course, but never mind that for the minute; we must avoid them out of expediency. They will hurt us far more than the person against whom we feel aggrieved. â€"I have & relationâ€"we most of us haveâ€"who almost always has a "quarâ€" Jack Tar‘s Jargon. That Grievance.
