IN THE CLUTCHES 0F RHEUMATESM There is still a very prevalent belief that rheumatism is due to cold or wet weather. This belief is probably due to the fact that when the blood is thin and watery there is an acute sensi- tiveness to atmospheric conditions and a change to wet weather often means a return of the excruciating pains. Rheumatism, however, is root- ed in the blood, and it can only be driven from the system by building up and enriching'the blood. Hot baths and outward applications of liniment may give temporary relief, but can- not cure. If the disease is not attack- ed through the blood, it simply fas- tens itself more firmly on the sys- tem, and the sufferer ultimately be- comes hopelessly crippled. The truth of this is proved by the case of Mrs. Frank Ford, of Calgary, Alta. Mrs. Ford says: “I was an almost help- less cripple from rheumatism. It seemed to have settled in every joint. My arms and hands had to be band- aged. My ankles were so swollen that I had to use crutches. After: doctor- ing for a long time and growing steadily worse, the doctor advised me to go to Banfl‘ Springs. I striyed there for eight Weeks taking daily baths and returned home poorer in pocket by about $150 and not one bit improved in health. I then entered a local hospital, but did not derive any benefit. I was in such constant pain that I almost wished to die, and I felt sure I would be a lifelong cripple. It was at this stage that a friend who had been greatly benefitted by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills urged me to try them. I began the use of the Pills and after taking them a few weeks the swelling in the joints began to go down and the pain was relieved. This greatly encouraged me and I continâ€" ued the treatment until in the course of three months the cure was com- plete. I had thrown away the crutchâ€" es, could walk anywhere and do my own housework, and I never felt bet- ter in my life than I do at present time, and all this is due to the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I have also given the Pills to my daughter who suffered from anaemia and she has rhe Great Suffering of 3 Cal- gary Lady Before Relief Was Found gained in flesh and become a strong, healthy girl.” If you are suffering from rheumat- ism or any weakness of the blood give Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills a fair trial and they will speedin restore you to health and strength.

[THE “KISS-ANDâ€"‘VASH” BRIGADE Is Not Very Popular With the Wound- ed Soldiers. _ Lady Warwick, in her characterâ€" istically fearless and out-spoken manâ€" ner, has draw attention to the scandal that a number of the women volun- teers for nursing work at the front only offer to help because the novelty appeals to them. They have no speci- al qualifications, and pester the authorities for permits until the wear- ied officials sometimes give way. Lady Warwick says that most of the fashionable nurses who go to the front are bent upon nothing but havâ€" ing a good time, and adding to their collection of sensations( They drive a coach-and-four through such things as regulations and discipline, and are a sore trial to the really-trained nurs- es. Such a statement by one who is in a position to know what she is talkâ€" ing about has caused not a little ex- asperation in certain high places. Soldiers at the base hospitals have given the name of the “Wash and Kisr, Brigade” to those ultra-fashionable nurses. “What they seem to do most,” said a friend of mine from the front, “is to wash the wounded man's face and then'kiss him for his mother.” Which reminds one of a story of the South African War. A fussy nurse went to one bed and asked the woundâ€" ed soldier what she could do for him. Anything you like ma’am,” bluntly re- plied Tommy, “but don’t wash my face again. Them other ladies have washed it six times already." Dr. Gruber, one of Barvaria’s most learned professors, has been lecturing on “War, Peace and Biology," and comes to some remarkable con- clusions. “This war, he declares, was inevi- table and unavoidable. It might have been postponed, but it had‘to come sooner or later. It is idle to debate who is most to blame for the out- break of hostilities. As a matter of fact, Germany was to blame, says the professor; not blame~worthy in any moral sense. Germany is to blame be- cause she had stretched and used her power to its utmost, because in 4 year's it had increased in population from 40 to 68 millions. The war was, therefore, a biological necessity. Learned Bavarian Places Responsi- bility for War. The war says the professor, has be- come a battle of ideas, caused by varying conceptions of human devel- opment and of human freeéom. In conclusion, Professor Gruber mentioned certain - “biological - deâ€" mands" for the future. One of these must be a strengthening of the na- tion by a large increase of the popuâ€" lation, and to such an extent that Ger- many will be rendered invulnerable.

Few men have given their money more generously than he gave his, even when each cent he got was earned only by industry which even his hardâ€"working neighbors thought prodigious. He saved when saving was necessary, but for that very reason he had money for his friends as well as for himself when the need for money arose. He was just as strong in advising wise spend- ing as he was in advocating timely saving. ' The wise buyer is the true economist, for he saves his money by using it. The storekeeper who knows his business and has a true regard for it desires the custom of the thrifty. His business is to give service, and a man finds more pleasure in serving those who can appreciate what he does than in serving those who have :so little regard for their own interest lthat they know not whether they are served well or ill. The merchant who advertised his goods thereby calls up- on tlie public to judge his work and declares his willingness to.be reward- mick. “Fighting, eh? Who licked?” "Mamma did,” answered Jack.
