.A CAUSE OF INEIIJESTION People WhaCoinplaia..of This Trouble Usually Are Thin Blooded. Thin blooded people usually have stomach trouble. They seldom recog- nize the fact that thin blood is the cause of the trouble, but it is. In fact thin, impure blood is the most common causo of stomach trouble : it affects the digestion very quickly. The glands that furnish the digestive fluid are diminished in their activity ; the stomach muscles are weakened, and there is a loss of nerve force. In this state of health nothing will more quickly restore the appetite, the diges- tion and normal nutrition than good rich, red blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act directly on the blood, making It rich and red, and this enriched blood strengthens weak nerves, stimulates tired muscles and awakens the normal activity of the glands that supply the digestive fluids. The first si(gn of im- proving health is an improved appe- tite, and soon the effect of these blood making pills is evident throughout the system. You find that what you eat does not distress you, and that you are strong and vigorous instead of irrit- able and lisyoss. This is proved by the case of Mrs. J. Harris, Gerrard St., Toronto, who says : " About three years ago I was seized with a severe attack of indigestion and vomiting. My food seemed to turn sour as soon as I ate it, and I would turn so deadly sick that sometimes I would fall on the floor after vomiting. I tried a lot of home remedies, but they did not help me. Then I went to a doctor who gave me some powders, but they seemed ac- tually to make me worse instead of better. This went on for nearly two months, and by that time my stomach was in such a weak state that I could not keep down a drink of water, and I was wasted to a skele.on and felt that life was not worth living. I was not married at this time, and one Sun- day evening on the way to church with my intended husband I was taken with a bad spell on the street. He took me to e drug store where the clerk fixed up something to take, and my intended got me a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. By the end of the first week I could feel some improvement from the use of the Pills, and I gladly continued taking them until every symptom of the trouble was gone, and I was again enjoying the best of health. These Pills are now my standby and I tell all my friends what they did for me." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills from any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. GERMAN SOLDIERS HOMESICK. Write Their Letters From the Front in Melancholy Tones. The " Kolnische Zeitung " remarks that it has been igenerally observed that numerous letters from German soldiers at the front are couched in melancholic tones, giving to friends and relatives the impression that the writer is sad, and filling the hearts of those at home with uneasiness. .\nd yet, after exact investigation, says the " Kolnische," it has been proved that the writers of these let- ters are in excellent spirits. What, then, is the explanation ? The writ- ers are simply afflicted with home- sickn(Ks. They are thinking of their homes. They do not wish to make those at home sad or cheerless, but so long as they have a pen in their hands they see their home life swim before thoir eyes, and hear the chil- dren's talk, they see the friendly faces of wives, parents, friends, they see the sunshine round their homes, and a longing for the old life and peace comes over them. It is this that casts a shadow over their surroundings, and this shadow finds its expression in their letter* I As a matter of fact, says the " Kol- ' nische," they do not know what they have written, .\fter they have writ- ten and sealed their letters they for- \ get all about them, and they wonder when they hear from home, why , their friends are all so anxious about thorn. That is the explanation. It is only home-sickness. Simply Ferocious. "Yes." said the cynical old sea cap- tain, "when I was shipwrecked i n South .\nierica I came across a tribe of wild women who had no tongues." "Good gracious!" exclaimed a lis- tener. "How could they talk?" "They couldn't," was the reply. "That was what made them wild." GREAT BRITAIN'S PRIME CONDmON JOHN BULL'S REMARKABLE FIN- ANCIAL POSITION. Lending to Russia, France, Italy and Serbia, and Supporting Belgium. John Hart, politic;al economist and director of " London Opinion " Cor- j poration, who has just arrived in the , United States, gives a lucid explana- 'â-  tion of the financial conditions of Great Britain. He says : " Notwithstanding the heavy ex- penditure of Great Britain since the j outbreak of the war, and the heavy drafts upon the public, the debt of Great Britain to-day is only about one-half of what it was per capita at the end of the Napoleonic War. In 1816, just after the Battle of Water- loo, the public debt per capita was £43. That amount in proportion to the in- come of the country at that time, com- pared with the income of the present day, represented a debt of il20 per head. In August, 1914, the public debt was £14 per capita, and every one thousand millions of pound sterl- ing issued since represents £20 per capita ; so that the present day debt of Britain is not much more than 5090 of the equivalent debt at the end of the Napoleonic War. A Creditor Nation. " It should be borne in mind that England is financing France, Italy, Russia and Serbia in the present war, and is carrying the entire charge of Belgium. The money so employed is loaned to these nations so that Engf- land is still largely a creditor nation. The financial condition of Great Bri- tain at this advanced period of the war is most remarkable. The mar- kets are aH buoyant, the minimum re- striction on sales of stocks is being removed, and as they reach a proper level as regards the value of money to-day (due to war conditions), there is a tremendous amount of money for investment. A large part of the money whereby England is financing herself and other nations is the pro- ceeds of the sale of American securi- ties, made by private holders to the British Government, which is being used as it is collected. Another large part is derived from the enormous amount of profit being made by manu- facturers of war supplies. Then a- gain, the restriction imposed by the Government on the investment of Bri- tish capital outside of the country is responsible for a tremendous amount of money being kept at horns which would otherwise find investment a- broad. Benefits of .\dvertising " Strange as it may sound, an enormous portion of the money raised by the British Government has been due to advertising. For the first time in history the British Government has made use of the gratuitous service of some of the leading advertising men, which service has been immensely profitable to the Government. The British Treasury has used the same methods adopted by high-class mer- cantile houses to sell their goods and they have succeeded beyond expecta- tion. A very large amount of he five-year Treasury bonds has been s dd to the working classes. The lo'vest denomination of these bonds is £1, which is sold as advertised for 15s. 6d. for which amount the investor obtains the face value of the bond at maturity; or, in other words, he makes a profit of 4s. lid., or a little over 29'^c in the five years, which represents nearly G'V annually. " It is calculated that 10'"n of the war revenue is contributed by payers of income tax and other direct taxa- tion, that is by persons whose in- come is above $800 per annum, and only 30'<^ by those with smaller in- comes. The entire ta.xation, direct and indirect, last year amounted to about £350,000,000. " Of the 1:5,000,000 daily war ex- penditures of England about iO'^c is coming back to the country in wages and expenditures for war supplies ; about 40'i is money loaned to the Allies, the colonies, India, and other dependencies, so that of the total a- mount only about 20' "r is an actual charge against the Government." A FAMOUS HORSE. Thoroughbred Stallion " Anmer " Will Be .Seen at Canadian National j Exhibition. In the interests of the breeders of Ontario and the united efforts of the various breed societies to encourage the farmers and breeders of Canada to raise horses that will meet the de- mand expected from buyers from foreign countries during the years succeeding the termination of the war, the Canadian National Exhibition, at Toronto, has arranged with the Do- minion Government and the Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society to have Anmer, the thoroughbred stallion pre- i sented by His Majesty, King George, j as a sire suitable to improve the stock in Canada, paraded every afternoon . during the Exhibition. As an encouragement to breeders the Thoroughbred Horse Society has de- 1 cided to distribute the revenues ob- , tallied from " Anmer's " stud fees in ' premiums at Agricultural Shows to classes of horses sired by a thorough bred, which are best suited for re mount and cavalry purposes. Lashing a Lazy Liver I with pills may give temporary , relief â€" but the pill habit is not ' a health habit. It will put the liver out of business in time â€" and then everything else goes out of business. Get the health habit by eating Shredded Wheat Bbcuit. the ideal hot-weather food, which contains more digestible, brain-making, muscle-build- ing material than beefsteak or eggs. The tasty, delicious crispness of the baked wheat gives palate joy and stomach comfort. It supplies the maximum of nutriment in smallest bulk, and its daily use keeps the bowels healthy and active. For breakfast with milk or cream, or for any meal with fresh fruits. Made in Canada ACROSS THE BORDER WHAT IS GOING ON OVER IN THE STATES. ffifeiYE " Thoroughbred Stallion " Anmer.' "Anmer" is a beautifully bred horse and stands over 16 hands, with plenty of quality and substance, and a good disposition. He was elected by Lord Marcus Beresford from the Royal stud as a horse most suitable for the Canadian requirements, and has been pronounced by successful breeders to be the best stallion that has ever left the shores of the world's greatest nursery. It will be remembered that in 1913 " .\nmer " was the King's Derby can- didate and was running well up in that historic event when a suffragette ran out on the course, endeavoring to snatch at the bridle. " Anmer " was thrown and the woman was trampled to death. The fall also nearly proved fatal for the jockey, Herbert Jones. " Anmer " was a winner in England in the 1^4 miles Hastings plate, second in the Payne Stakers. third in the Newmarket, St. Ledger and Royal Stakes. His sire, Flori- zell 11, was a winner of the Ascot Gold vase, Jockey Club cup, Goodwood cup and Manchester cup and an own brother to Diamond Jubilee and Persi- mmon, bobh Derby winners for the late King Edward and both successful sires. Diamond Jubilee was sold at the end of his racing career for $150,- 000 to go to the Argentine Republic, where he has headed the list of win- ning sires for several years. Guinea Hen, the dam of Anmer, is also a winner and the dam of Brakespear, Pintadeau and Jungle Cock. She is by Gallinule, sire of the great Prettv Polly, The gracious and timely action of King George in presenting to Canada such a stallion for the improvement of thoroughbred stock is very much appreciated by horsemen. "Anmer" has been quartered at Ennisclaire farms, Qakville, but will be broughft in to Toronto for the whole period of the Exhibition, the only place where the Thoroughbred Horse Society has con- sented to exhibit him. Pepsin .Supplanting Rennet. A Wisconsin cheese firm, in a let- ter to the Trade Bulletin, states there is a revolution in cheese making in that Stat', owin gto the use of pepsin : insteai 01 rennet. It coagulates the milk better, io is of uniform srength, and the test of the whey shows that there is less butler fat and solids in the whey. The price of pepsin is | very much cheaper. | They have cheese on hand made with pepsin that are four to six weeks j old, and the curing process seoms to ' be identical. The factories are us- ing about 3-8 to 1-2 ounce of pepsin { dissolved in warm water at about 90 degrees temperature, then emptied in- t» a bucket of water and put into the ' milk the same as they have always done with rennet. The use of pep-, sin will materially relieve the situa- tion on the scarcity of rennet, in fact they believe that in the future pepsin will be used instead of rennet.

Instructions have been sent, or are being sent, from the War Office to every command, indi- cating the lines which should be fol- lowed, says a story from British army headquarters. Military requirements are very large and little more than half the usual supplies of potatoes are coming into the markets, with the result that pre- war prices to the public are nearly doubled. .\t one camp in Surrey digging operations began last week, and the seed potatoes are to be planted in a few days in rows between the huts. A. number of men are being told off each day for diggiiig, and others are being asked to help in spare time. At a camp in Yorkshire potato grow- ing began some weeks ago. It is un- derstood that instructions will soon be issued for the growing of i>egetables. And the more some people are worth the more worthle-ss they art.

SMUTS' CONQUEST. L'sambara Described as the Gem of German East .Vfrica. Wilhem?tal. the capital of the Us- ambara Highlands, was occupied a short time ago by General Smuts, and as the enemy have abandoned its seaport, Tanga, it would appear that the whole of this region, the most set- tled and most prosperous part of 1 German East Africa, will shortly be i in undisputed possession of the Bri- tish, Its healthy climate, picturesque valleys and mountains, and luxuriant vegetation attracted attention to Us- ambnra from the first establishment of German rule, and its neai-ness to the coast rendered it easily acce..*s- ible. To-day it possesses scores of thriving plantations, pleasant and well-built towns, and excellent road.s. ' Its European population is about 3,000 I Bordered east and west by arid schub?covered steppes, north by open â-  country, and south by dense jungle, the highlands form an oasis in the ' wilderness. Extending southeast and I northwest for 75 miles, they vary in breadth from 1 to 45 miles. The hills rise tbruptly 1,500 feet to 1,700 feet from the surrounding plain, and the most lofty peaks are over 7,500 feet above the sea. The valleys, deep and narrow, through which rush pic- turesque torrents, and the hillsides, are under c Itivation ; the native population is .lonse, and long before the comina: of the white man they had flourishing and extensive shambas. Soon after the proclamation of the German protectorate a site in one of the south-western valleys was chosen as a Government post. Named Wil- hemstal, in honor of the Kaiser, it has grown into a considerable town, with fine public and private buildings. Vigilant Fido.
