Most of us believe that clouds have a silver lining, but few of us make any effort either to turn the clouds round or to get behind them. ' Road-building has called into play all the ingenuity of pioneer bat- talions, composed not only of experi- l:nced British workmen, but of real pioneers from the prairies and moun- tains of Canada and the far lands of Australasia and South Africa. Road material is scarce in the stricken wil- Hem/ass of No Man’s Land, but the reâ€" fuse of battle often serves the pur- pose during the first hours of a new forward move. Broken rifles, bits of clothing, fragments of shells and oc- casionally a few shells themselves that fail to explode are used in the founda- tion of the new paths. The remains of a recently evacuated village bring great joy to the pioneers, for that means a temporary supply at least of much desired broken brick and stone: The forward movement of the Brit- lsh on so wide a front has brought into play all the machinery of motion in warfare. Roads seem to spring up overnight in most unexpected places. Railways have audaciously flung themselves forward regardless of mud and shell holes, and with a com- pleteness which even includes most pretentious sign posts bearing the names of French villages which exist now only as geographical remnants. It is also a revelation of the intensely practical side of modern war to see a six-inch water main stretching itself into territory but recently occupied by the Germans. , They whistle and sing and handy grim jests as they work. As the firing button is pressed the crew jumps back for a moment from the gun carriage, but have leaped again to their allotted posts before the easy acting recoil has returned the mammoth weapon to its original position. It is easy to dis- tinguish the scream of a departing projectile from one which is being sent in return by the Germans, and the onlooker can watch without diffi- culty the black base of a British shell as it travels in a long loop. It is interesting to stand behind a battery of British howitzers and watch the guns in action. The men show the high morale which is in evi- dence throughout the British Army.

In the spring anaemia, rheumatism, indiges-l tion, neuralgia, erysipelas and many' other troubles are most persistent be- cause of poor. weak blood, and it is at this time when all nature takes on new life that the blood most seriously needs attention. Some people dose themselves 'with purgatives at this season, but these only further weaken themselves. A purgative merely gallops through the system, empty-' ing the bowels, but it does not cure anything. a On the other hand Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills actually make new blood which reaches every nerve. and organ in the body, bringing new strength, new health and vigor to weak, easily tired men, women and“ children.

Popular etymology, says the Man- chester Guardian, is always more in- teresting than the learned explana- tions of philologists. For example, take the barrack-room derivation of the word “canteen.” It is of no use trying to convince Tommy Atkins that it comes from the Italian cantina, a small cellar. He has his own deriva- tion, which he finds quite satisfactory. “Canteen” is simply “tin can” said backward. To justify his theory he merely invites you to look round. Cer- tainly, tin enters largely into the utensils and furnishings of the aver- age canteen. The drinking vessels are tin and, in many cases, the tables are also covered with black tin. No wonder Tommy holds that the word has some connection with the metal that is so much in evidence. Minard‘n Lmlment Cure. Dandrufl.

Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills for Pale People are an all year round tonic, blood-builder and nerve-restorer. But they are especially valuable in the spring when the system is loaded with impurities as a result of the indoor life of the winter months. There is no other season when the blood is so much in need of purifying and en- riching, and every dose of these pills helps to make new, rich, red blood.

If one takes the word of the astron- omers or almanac compilers for it, the Spring began on March 20, at 11.30 pm. On that date, and at that hour, persons having poems entitled “Beautiful Spring" may, if they de- sire, mail them to the newspapers without violation of any literary canon. But, as a matter of fact, there is but one dependable and invariable rule with relation to the change in seasons that is now impending in many lands. Pioneers, early settlers, old-timers,” life-long observers, peo- ple of wide experience, and so on, have now very generally come to the conclusion that, throughout a wide area of Canada, at least, Spring does not arrive until the early Summer is well advanced, and that, even then, its coming may be delayed.
