Bice, Denver, Col. I often wonder if the Canadian people fully realize what the present terrible war means if the allied (Jer- man forces should win. Quite apart from all questions re lating to the violation of i3elgian neutrality, and other discussions abt.ut the cause of the war, the im- portant question for Canadians is, How is the war going to affect Can- ada in case of an adverse result! Of course, if the allies win, and we think they will, there will be a settlement by negotiation, and the result upon Canada cannot be otherwise than favorable ; but sup- pose the alliance should win, tlien what ? If the dreams of military Ger- many come true, if the doctrines of Treitschke and Bernhardi prevail, there will be no negotiations or compromise of any sort. There will onJy be .servile submission of the most humiliating kind, and we could not blame Germany, for she has al- ready given us a foretaste of what to expect in her treatment of ga- lant little Belgium. In such an event the world will become Prus- sianized everywhere, except per- haps in the United States, and the triumph of militarism and absolut- ism would be complete indeed. The spirit of democracy, that has made such headway in Europe, as in America, would be quenched for ages to come ; free thinking would be utterly crushed, and a world power, such as has never been known in history, would be wielded by a war lord so autocratic and domineering, steeped in the teach- ings of such hair-brained anarchists as Nietzsche and his followers, that constitutional government would be annihilated and the mental and moral darkness of the "middle ages" would again settle down upon a world of slaves. What would such an outcome of the war have in store for free America? It would drive us to mili- tarism in self defense, tor we would have no other choice. Democracy must arm to defend against a\itocracy and preserve hu- man freedom. The fact we have to face, if Ger- many wins, rightly or wrongly, will be : Prepare and fi^ht, or suffer national extinction. While this would undoubtedly make the United States the greatest military nation on the face of the earth, it would not be becau.se any one here wants it, but because it would be our only salvation. Germany, long ago, got rid of the amateurish idea that "that govern- ment is best which governs least," and has developed government as an instrument of overpowering auto- cracy on a scale and with a measui-e of success hitherto unprecedented. In many respects Germany's so- cial policy and organization is com- mendable, it it stopped there ; but everything has been done with the sole purpose and end in view of making Germany the greatest mili- tary nation in the world. She has developed government as an instrument of social welfare with marked success. While other countries have been punishing ig- norance and vagabondage, and have fallen down before the sicken- ing problem of the unemployed, and have acknowledged inability to deal with it, Germany has said that these things can and must be prevented, and by preventing them ahe has created a collective efficiency which the rest of the world might well envy and respect. Observe, for ex- ample, how Germany manages her school syateim, her state owned rail- roads, her KartelSj her trade intel- ligence organizations. She did not try to "down the trusts," and waste useful energj' on those lines, but utilized them, and at the same time she helped the small merchant and dealer to develop trade instead of hampering it. With her usual energy she at- tacked the problem of the unem- ployed, not only by the imperial government, but by municipal and local governments, and countless sinnlnj. organi?;3ti<ms, with t.be re- sult that when the war broke out her marginal floating population of unemployed was less than that of any other country. She <x;com- pli&hed all this by purely scientific methods. Germany wasted no sen- timent about the matter .she gauged it as just>. another problem of na- tional efficiency. The child was needed by the mili- tary power of the country as an effective fighting machine, and as such must be well fed, amply clothed and securely housed. Probably one of the real causes of the war was the break down of this great top-heavy machine of the Germans, for it had progressed so far that it could see things only in terms of force. They made inex- cusable mistakes in diplomacy, to start with, and embroiled England in the conflict unnecessarily. Some of the things her statesmen did and said were of tlie essence of stupid- ity. It was all right and even com- mendable her efforts to extend trade and develop her ind\istries, but she carried her militarism to the point of fanaticism, so much so that she ceased to be interested, as sihe was a generation ago, in the in- tellectual life, in music, in art, and in philosophy. She produces no more Wagners, no more Helm- holtzs, no more Kants, or Goethcs ; but her whole energies have been devoted to creating things that des- troy. It all dates from the Franco- Prussian war and the blood-and- iron policies of her Bismarck. Might made right, and the "Will to power," continued to develop along those lines. If, in 1848, she had heeded men like Carl Schurz, slie would be a very different nation to- day, but she took the wrong path and develoiied along materialistic lines, and her downfall is certain.

Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville. Ont. + W.VRMNU .\«AI>ST II A TO. Striking ChaiiitcH of Opinion Noted in Gcrniiin N'awspapcrs. Tlie "Christliche Welt" ("Chris- tian World"), an influential reli- gious paper publishcdi in- Marburg, Germany, publishes a notable arti- cle begging German Christians to pause before thiey yield themselves to the insensate hate of England prevailing among so many sections of the people. The article points out that, even admitting the wickedness of Eng- land, it is better to wish for tlie re- form and improvement of a groat nation like the British than to pray for its downfall and destruction. .\ time will come when this war will be a thing of tlie pa.st, aaid the "Chrisitldohe Welt" reasonably asks whether Germany will not prefer to deal with a nation purified and en- nobled and open to receive friendly overtures than with a nation em- bittered by rancorous attacks and closed against every overture of human fel.lo\yship. The Berlin "Tageblatt," com- menting on this article, thinks that a.s soon as peace is within sight there will be a rapid sinking of the thermometer of hate, and that evern now the hot. passionate hatred of England, which marked the earlier stages of the war has begun to cool. The "Tageblatt" says: "The broad maisses of oar people know nothing of national hatreds. They have at- tained far too high a civilii«ition for this. They are of Goethe's opinion that the lower the step of culture on which a nation stand® the more intense is their hatred for other peoples." * Unwilling to Tell. The country school teacher had been tellling her scholars about the seasons and their peculiarities, and to imiprees the facts upon their minds she questioned them upon the points she had given. Several queries had been put, and she fin- ally reacflied the stupid 'boy in the corner. "Well, Johnny," she said, "have you been paying attention 1" "Yes, mnm," he answered prompt- ly. "I'm glad to hear it. Now, can you tell me what there is in the Bipringi" "Yes'm, I cam; but I don't wanit to." "Oh, yes you do 1 Don't bo afraid. You have heard the other scholars. Be a good boy now and tell us what there is in the spring." "Wyâ€" iTvyâ€" mum, there's a frog, an' a lizard, an' a dead cat !^ It; tout I didn't put 'em there. It was another boy, lo-r I see him do It." He's Back at Work Strong and Hearty ONE MORE SPLENDID CURE BY DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS. Quebec Man Who Suffered for a Long 'lime (from Kiilney Di^ennV Finds a Oouipletc Curo. Allen's Mills, Portneuf Co., Que., March 1â€" (Special). â€" Another splen- did cure by Dodd's Kidney Pills is that of Michael Gauthier, a well- known resident of this place. Mr. Gauthier was for a long time- a suf- ferer with a pain in his head caused by kidney disease, and at length got so bad that be had to quit work. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him. He is back at work, strong and hearty, and naturally he feels that he wants all who suffer from kidney disease to know that they can find a cure in Dodd's Kidney Pills. For Dodd's Kidney Pills not only cure, the pain or ache that is caus- ing the most distress, they put the kidneys in good working order and all the impurities and poisons are strained out of the blood. Tho re- sult is that new strength is carried to every part of the body. That's why so many sufferers cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills saim up their condition, "I feel like a new man." New energy is new life. You can't have it with sick kidneys. With healthy kidneys you must have it. Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy kidneys. THE THRIFT HABIT. We all know that children, as well as grown people, are either helped or hindered by the habits they form and which become very influential in the development of character, for good or evil. This subject of "habit" is a text often preached from, lectured about, and discussed in private conversation. We hear much about the habit of early rising, also the reading habit, the habit of cleanli- ness, of moderation or excess in eating and drinking, but the habit of thrift, which includes the saving habit, deserves frequent and most honorable mention in all the places mentioned, public and private, and particularly in social and domestic intercourse. Any sum is wasted that is spent for what we do not need. Every penny that a child s|)ends for waste is giving that much leeway to extravagant inclinations. Every cent that is spent by young girls for gewgaws and tawdry deco- rations is worse than wasted. The waste that g<jes for soft drinks and constant cigarette smok- ing will beget a spendtjirift habit in boys and young men. Very few- young people spend less than 5 cents a day. It has to be a very careful or a very poor family that does not give their kids as much as 5 cents a day or even 5 cent» a week. Yet the saving of 5 cents a day means the accumulation of $18.75 in twelve months. In five jjears it would mean a little less than $100 cash in hand. That soft drink waste, that cigarette waste, that chewing gum waste, that candy waste, would make very valuable "rainy day" money when the year was out and gone. The habit formed by saving is not counted in this cash account. Some- times it saves from a spell of gas- tric fever or a tobacco heart. It requires some courage to ac- quire this thrift habit, and the very act of saving inculcates "self-de- nial, foresight, prudence and wis- dom." "For age and want save while you may, No moinlng sun lasts a whole day." * . THE DOCTOR'S WIFE Agrees With Him About Food. A trained nur.se says: "In the practice of my profession I have found so many points in favor of Grape-Nuts food that I unhesitat- ingly recommend it to all my pa- tients. "It is delicate and pleading to the palate (an essential in fo<xl' for the sick) and can be adapted to all ages, being softened with milk or cream for babies or the aged when deficiency of teeth renders mastica- tion impossible. For fever patients or those on liquid diet I find Grape- Nuts and albumen water very nourishing and refreshing. "This recipe i» my own idea and is made as follows : Soak a tea- spoonful of Grape-Nuts in a glass of water for an hour, strain and serve with the beaten white of an egg and a spoonful of fruit juioe for flavouring. This affords a great deal of nourishment that even the weakest stomach can assimilate without any distress. "My hu.sband is a physician and he uses Grape-Nuts him.self and or- der,«4 it many times for his patients. "Personally I regard a dish of Grape-Nuts with fiesh or stewed fruit as the ideal breakfast for any- one â€" well or sick." In stomach trouble, nervous pros- tration, etc., a 10-day trial of Grape-Nuts will usually work won- ders toward nourisliing and re- building and iji thi» way end the trouble.

The great naval victory of Sun- day, January 24, when one of Ger- many's finest battleships, the Blu- cher, was sunk, and two other bat- tle-cruisers damaged, was due not only to the superior guns, but also to the superior marksmanship of the British gunners. When the war broke out. and for some considerable time before, , heavy gun shooting was the sport | par excellence of the navy, both I "Gun-layers' Test' and "Battle I Practice" creating an astounding' amount of enthusiasm and emula- tionâ€"and also betting Iâ€" and Sir Percy Scott is the man. above all others, who was responsible for it. Twelve years ago, gunnery was a dead letter, and target practice a nuisance. On February 2iid, 1902, Captain Percy Scott, C.B.. deliver- ed a lecture at the United Service Institution of Hongkong, on "The Fighting Efficiency of a Fleet which is Dependent on the Straight Shoot- ing oi the Guns. ' Out of that lec- ture arose s host of questions from NEW EARTH AND HEAVEN. Dr. James L. Hughes, Toronto. Spores on the fern frond's back. Dust specks you seem to be.

Admiral Sir Perey Scott. the oflScers present, and one waa in connection with creating interest and the need of competition. Cap- tain Scott replied: "You relied en- tirely on competition in the past; in Malta harbor you never did the weekly sail drill without one or two men being killed in their anxiety to be first ship in the fleet^that same spirit still lives. I only want to in- troduce it into gunnery ; we ought to make use of the national vice, namely "sport," and to create the same ambition among our officers and men in shooting as existed in sail drill." Well, he certa'nly saw his ideal come to fruition before he retired, btit it was not without a consider- able amount of unpleasantness. When, in February, 1905. ho was appointed to the newly created post of Inspector of Target Practice, he found himself faced with a dead weight of opposition and indiffer- ence, but so vigorously did he pros- ecute his office that he received the sobriquet of "The Cursed Sport,'' which he took quite smilingly, and at last had the satisfaction of seeing the whole service as keenly enthu- siastic over good shooting as he was himself. Now he has been rcculed from the Retired List to lend a hand with the present war.
