SPRING BLOOD IS WATERY BLOOD How to Get New Health and New Strength at This Season Spring ailments are not imflgl'l nary. Even the most robust find the winter months most trylng to their health. Confinement indoors, often in overheated and nearly all- ways -ba<ll_v ventilated roomsâ€"111 the home, the office, the shop and the schoolâ€"taxes the vitality of even the strongest. Tlhe blood be- come-s thin and “ate ry and is clog- ged with impurities. Some people have headaches and a feeling 0f languor. Others are low-spirited and nervous. Still others are trou- bled with disfiguring pimples and 'skin eruptions; while some get up in the morning feeling just as tired as when they went to bed. These are all spring symptoms that the [blood is out of order and that a lmedicine is needed. Many people ,take purgative medicines in the spring. This is a, serious mistake. You cannot cure yourself with a lmedicine that gallops through your system and leaves you weaker still. ~'Ilhis is all that a purgative does. \W|hat you need to give you health and strength in the spring is a tonic medicine that will enrich the blood and soothe the jangled nerves. And the one always re- “liable tonic and blood builder is Dr. Williams’ Pink PiLls. These Pills not only lbanish spring weakâ€" ness but guwrd you against the more serious ailments that follow, sudh as anaemia, nervous debility. ‘indig‘estion, rheumatism and other diSease‘s due to had blood. In proof of this Mrs. D. E. Hughes, Hazenmore, Sask., says: “About a lyear ago I was badly run down, my nerves were all umstrnng, and I 'could not go up stairs without stop- rpmg to rest. As I was a long ways from a. doctor I decided to take lDr. Williams’ Pink Pills. and in he course of a few Weeks I felt like a new person. As an all round restorative I can heartily recom- mend this medicine.” If you are ailing this spring you Minot afford, in your own interest}, ' ovenlook .so valuable a, medicine 35 Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.

Two of ,the 'housewive'vs most vex- abious problems, “How to lessen the cost of living?" and “How to vary the menu?” could easily be solve‘d by a greater use of fruit, de- clares one of Amgrica’s best-known food expefits. Says she :â€" “I have been‘tes'ting out fruit-s as foods; ordinary fresh and dried fruits' such as we all have around the house all the time.

I suppose few persons have any idea. that an orange [has real food value. Yet, pound for pound, the edible portion is twoathirds as nourishing as potatoes. Also, few persons have any idea: that oranges can be served in more than half a dozen ways, and those in the ra‘w state or used as a, flavorâ€" Yet nothing is more delicious Mia: an orange omelet, a breakfast dlsl fit for a king! Yes, the ofange admits of so many different ways of preparing and serving. some cooked and others uncooked, that ilti is possible to serve a whole course dinner with almost noflhing fbu’o orange dishes in the menu.

When the Mother Country decid- ed to embrace the cause of Bel- gium, France, Russia, and Serbia, against Germany and Austria-Hun- gary, she had a, standing army of 125,000 with reserves that brought up her total of trained men to 798,000. Of course, these forces did not include her overseas troops that are subject to the disposal of the several autonomous colonial governments. ‘ But this fleet was destined for a. time, at least, to play only a minor role in actual hostilities. The real test of Great Britain’s fitness was to be made on land, and the soil of France and Flanders. was to prove whether she had become a decadent and played-out nation since Waterloo, or whether she was still in the national race. Numerically, hers was a contempâ€" tible, insignificant, little army compared with the others, she sent to the scene, of conflict when the war began. But it was the best she could do in the few days of mobi- lization. ., It is not stirprising that. the Kai- ser pick-ed it out for ridicule and chastisement. On the ocean she was invincible, and the mightiest of the world's fleets was her chief reliance in the event of a war, her real bulwark for attack and against invasion. There was a, chance, he thought, to overwhelm the pride of' Eng- land iu the first conquering rush, and the effect of such a. victory would, no doubt, have proved enorâ€" mous upon the spirit, and morale of the who-1e situation. But the fitâ€" ness of the British regular was amâ€" ply demonstrated in the grueling retreat from Mons. He kept his head, and the fighting spirit, while his skilled and splendid comman: der, General French, who had learned all the tricks of the game as it was played by the trickiest fighters in the worldwthe Boersâ€"â€"â€" kept him out of the grip of Von Kluck until a position was reached from which he could strike back. dropped The British 11: Lant part of tb Marne, for it w the line that the and it was they going the into a. prec ma-ns.

These men came of their own atâ€" cord to face the horrors of the trenches, for the sake of the Briâ€" tish flag. and the cause of freedom. This surprised Germany, for they had counted on d'isaffection to weaken England's hand. They told the German people that the tribes of India, South Africa. the colonies of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the inhabitants of her other possessions onlly awaited the chance to fly into open and obstiâ€" nate rebellion. Germany sent her agents of disaffection into all of the colonies and possessions of Great Britain, and they have been very energetic in fomenting strife, disâ€" cord and sedition, but so far with« out substantial success. About 300,000 Irris'hmen are enlisted in Kit ch-ener’s army, the rebellion in South Africa, was put down by the loyalists of that uncertain country, while Egypt refused to respond to the cry of a, "Holy War,” and the native princes of India. have given generously of their weallth, while ndian troops are among the brav- est of the brave fighters to be found on the firing line.

She has held her comer, small though it be, against; the most vicious assaule of the enemy through the winter; and if Dunkirk and Calais are still French it, is due mainly to the invincible and unbreakable fence of steel that her forces have opposed to Germany in the region of Ypres and La, Basâ€" see.
