WE DO NOT NEED VAR.

War talk has been very free for the
past few days, but no really sensible
man wishes to see war anywhere. 1t
is an awful contemplation and when
it is narrowed down to the individual,
no prudent or reasonable man desires
it. There has been too much such
talk. Many a nervous woman has
been already more or less Frustrated by
the wild and foolish talk, and even
school. children have had their little
souls harassed almost beyond endu-
rance. One man in Halifax told us
recently that he found his little girl of
eight years crying with a broken heart
because she thought he would soon
20 to war and be killed.
Wisdom would suggest that the mat
ter be LETT while longer in the hands
of the governments, and that the bal
ance OF us quietly attend to our bust
ness, if we have any; and if we have
none set about finding something bet.
ter than idle war talk all the time.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one OF
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The Sec
ond way is from careless local treat
ment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urinefrom unhealthy kid
news is the chief cause of bladder trou'
bles. So the womb, like the bladder
was created for one purpose, and it not
doctored too much is not liable to
weakness or disease, except In rare
cases. 1t is situated back OF and very
close to the bladder, therefore any pain
disease or inconvenience manifested In
the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary
passage is often by mistake, attributed
to female weakness or womb trouble Of
some sort. The error is easily made
and may be AS easily avoided. To find
out correctly, set your urine for twenty
four hours; sedement or settling in
dicates kidney or bladder trouble. The
mild and the extraordinary effect of DIR
