David Lloyd George, the Prime Minister of Great Britain: The tremendous significance of these words in the face of a world shortage of food must be a matter of concern to all. It points out the path of duty to men and boys unable to enlist in the army but capable of helping to increase production. H ' At this supreme hour when ample food production is one of the indispensable means of victory, the country faces a serious shortage of men and boys on the farms. The Department of Agriculture emphasizes the urgency of every man and boy takmg to heart this splendid opportunity for patriotic service. B Decide now to help in the war.

Starting out with a loan from the mother country, Canada soon found. as the result of interior reforms forced by the war, that she could pay her own way, and this she is doing un- grudgingly. A GOOD MEDICINE FOR THE SPRING Not exactly sickâ€"but not feeling quite well. That is the way most people feel in the spring. Easily tired, appetite fickle, sometimes headaches, and a feeling of depression. Pimples or eruptions may appear on the skin, or there may be twinges of rheumatism or neuralgia. Any of these indicate that the blood is out of orderâ€"that the indoor life of winter has left its mark upon you and may easily develop into more serious trou- ble. nal. Do not dose yourself with purga- tives, LS so many people do, in the hope that you can put your blood right. Purgatives gallop through the system and weaken instead of giv- ing strength. Any doctor will tell you this is true. What you need in spring is a tonic that will make new blood and build up the nerves. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is the only med- icine that can do this speedily, safely and surely. Every dose of this .med- icine makes new blood which clears the skin, strengthens the appetite and makes tired, depressed men, women and children bright, active and strong. Mrs. Maude Bagg, Leniberg, Sask., says: “I can unhesitatingiy recom- mend Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills as a blood builder and Lnlc.

This peaceful, energetic neighbor of ours decided to raise an army of 50,â€" 000, increased it to 400,000 and is now aiming at 500,000, with certainty of SUCCESS. A year before the war Canada’s trade balance was $430,000,000 on the wrong side; its exports for the pre- sent year exceed its imports by $345,- 000,000. Germany Bled White in Food and Financeâ€"Finish Near. The biggest question in the world toâ€"day is: How long can Germany stand it? writes Oscar King Davis, an American correspondent, who re- cently left Berlin. 1% she starving? Is she going bankrupt? Is she run- ning out of raw materials? Is she ex- hausting her man power? The quesâ€" tion has other variants, but they all mean the same thing, How long can Germany hold out against the pres- sure of the allied blockade, against the economic warfare waged by Great Britain, as well as against the military warfare waged by all the Entente powers? Though not fully developed indus- trially, the Dominion has been able to provide fully for its armies, to manu- facture munitiois for its allies and finance the payments, to raise millions for war relief and to participate in British loans.

The answer to this question car~ ries with it for most of the world the answer to the question of how long the war is going to continue. For it is only in Germany and the countries allied to her that one finds any sub- stantial confidence that Germany may yet prove to be the victor in the strug- gle. Outside of Germany one does not find the same readiness to believe in the possibility of economic or military exhaustion for the Entente allies that is constantly expressed with vigor and enthusiasm, if not with conviction, in Berlin and other German centres. The conclusion reached by Mr. Davis from his personal observations' in Germany is that, bled white and near bankruptcy, the nation can go i a year at the best. The armies v1.9.1 fed and the rich do not suf- l :':t the children of the poor go Food For A Lifetime. The higher price of foodstuffs has been used as a practical and very con- vincing argument that we should eat less. Most of us believe that we eat too much, but do we realize how much ‘we do eat in a lifetime? A man of science estimates that “the average man” of seventy-five years has eaten fifteen hundred times his own weight. The bread would make a pile like a l house, the meat would fill many freight cars, the vegetables would make a trainload, fish and sugar would fill other cars, and the eggs would make the man blush to look a hen in the eye.

Chile Exporting Great Quantities of Nitrate to England. “Two of the twenty provinces of Chile are settled by thirty per cent. of Germans, but notwithstanding this, the sympathies of the people are chiefly with England and France}? de- clared Guillernio Edwards, of Santi- ago, Chile, who is visiting Canada. “We have to be very careful in our: actions toward the belligerents, be-[ cause if we sided in with the allies1 and declared war on Germany that} Country might, after this war is over} and peace signed, retaliate against; us, and the great powers, tired ofi bloodshed, would not defend us.” I “In the first four months she sufl‘er- ed much, both commercially and mor- ally. Twenty German merchantmen are interned in our ports and all ship- ping suffered much. The residents in the north of the country caused us in the south much worry because they were starving, being dependent on ships from the southern provinces to bring them food. “Chile practically produces the world's supply of nitrate. English companies own the largest mines, with Chilean, German, and French capital being next in line. This trade has developed enormously since the outbreak of war, but during the first four months the Government was greatly perturbed, as half of the inâ€" come of the Government is derived from an export tax imposed on ni- trate, and it was a serious matter for shipping to be interrupted. However, at the present time, Chile is prosper- ing as never before, due to the large export of nitrate and agricultural pro- ducts. “Has Chile suffered to any great extent because of the war?” asked an acquaintance. “Only once has Chile been in any kind of a controversy with England during this war,” he continued. “That was when the British vessel sank the Dresden in Chilean waters. How- ever, England made explanations and the selling of the five submarines the British were having built in the United States caused a much better feeling.” SYMPATHIES WITH ALLIES.

Cost of Shells Used in Maxim Gun Too Great For Some Exchequers. The late Sir Hiram Maxim “says in his autobiography that when he organized the United States Electric Lighting Company the printer sent home its stationery with the heading, “One of the Maxim guns," said Sir Hiram, “was designed to fire a shell weighing about a pound. These shells were, of course, expensive; they cost about one dollar and a quarter each. When we demonstrated the gun be‘ore Li Hung Chang, it fired four hundred of these shells, costing more than five hundred dollars, in a minute. The old Chinese statesman, on being told the cost of the shells, said, ‘This gun fires altogether too fast for China." The' King of Denmark's comment was. ‘That gun would bankrupt my little kingdom in about two hours.’ ” “The United States Electric Lightning Company." Wheq he established Lia new gun company in England, he told of this mistake in order to emphasize the imLortance of getting the station- ery printed correctly. When the first sheets were b1 ought to him, however, he found that the English printers had made his concern appear as "The Maxim Gum Company.” This pound PAIN ? NOT A BIT !
