Manufacturers and importers of toys in
New York report that their business has
been greatly stimulated by the recent war
talk. Since the sinking of the Maine there
has been constant and growing demand
for toys of warlike sugges tion-ships. can
mon, drums. flags. bugles, guns. soldiers
and the like. The fact of the matter is that
too many people regard war very
much in the light that children do. as
something to play with, the amusement of
an hour. War is spoken of more lightly
than a summer excursion. and with less
dread than having a tooth pulled. Never
theless war is blood, fire, agony of mental
and physical pain, starvation and death.
WAR is hell"

A FRIENDS ADVICE.
And what it led to.

It is not a common occurrence that a
friendly word should be the means of Civ
ing nearly forty years of happiness and
health to the person needing the advice it
carried. This was the case with Mary
Lingard. At twenty-five she was dragging
out her days in misery. At sixty-one she
finds herself so active and strong she can
do work that would shame many younger
woman, and looks back on thitty-six
happy, healthful years of industry. But
let her tell her story:
"Thirty-six years ago had great trouble
with my liver. The doctors allowed that
there were tumors growing on it, and they
blistered my side in an effort to give me
relief. I was at thae time earning my
living as tajloress. but for Ave years,
between the pail: Ia my side and the
blisters was III constant misery, and
work was drag to me, with no prospect
of relief; fortunately for me, however, n

saparilla, and finally persuaded m e to take

was so painful that could not fasten my
dress. and for time did not, get any
relief, but my friend advised me to per-
severe and relief was sure to come, and
come it did. This happened, as say,
thirty-six years ago. My liver has never
troubled me since, and during these years
have passed through the most critical
period of woman's life without any par
ticular trouble, and to-day, at sixty-one
years of age, am active and strong, and
able to do days work that would upset
