service, he protested faith in Christ,

A Gentle Hint.

In our style of climate. with its
sudden changes of temperature
rain, wind and sunshine often in
termingled in single day,-it is
no wonder that our children, rela-
tives and friends are SO frequently
taken from us by neglected colds,
half the deaths resulting directly
from this cause. A bottle of Bos-
chee's German Syrup kept about
your home for immediate use will
prevent serious sickness, a large
doctors bill, and perhaps death,
by the use of three or four doses.
For curing Consumption, Hemor-
rhages, Pneumonia, Sever Coughs
Group, or any disease of Throat or
Lungs, its success is simply won-
derful, as your druggist will tell
you. Get a sample bottle free

nevertheless this is the kind of

diers that are second are the Eng
lish l have a great deal of fun

pertains to the soldiers of England
who can speak the English lang

several nationalities in her army.
The next soldiers for the boys in
blue are the Japanese; they seem
to there is no one like the boys
who wear the big hat, as that is
how they know us more than any
other. Last summer when they
would see any one of us they
would have to come up and hug
us; OF course we could not resent
this. 1t is said of the Japanese
that they were the bravest soldiers
on the 18th July, when Tein Tsin
was taken, and they are so quiet
you would hardly lnow they were
over here; that is, since peace was
declared.
The next soldiers are the Ger
mans; l can not mention them to
any great extent for have never
studied them very much. Next on
the list is the Italians. These are
not very we'll represented over
here; just enough to protect their
rights. Then the Russians, and
Austrians, and French.
