Little Elizabeth was invited to
luncheon with her mother at a friends
one day, and was commanded by her
mother not to speak at the table ex.

promised to obey.
During the luncheon no attention
was paid to the little girl. She grew
very restless and found it very hard
to sit still so long without speaking.

ANCIENT AND MODERN WAR
Idle to Make Comparison as to the
Courage Required by the Sol
diers Of tho Period.

Much is written of the terrors OF
modern war. Little is written of the
terrors Of the wars of old. Yet it is
doubtful If war today makes greater
demands on human courage than war
In the time Of Grant, of Washington,
ct Turenne, of Caesar, of Alexander.
Consider a stand-up infantry fight
In the days of the revolution. After
the preliminary cannonade and long.
distance musketry practice, the two
regiments marched toward each other
In close ranks. At a given distance,
frequently at thirty yards, there was
a halt. a smashing volley, and then
q baycnet charge through the smoke.
Bullets those days were large and
Of soft lead, and the man who was hit
went down. Over him tramped his
comrades or the enemy, shooting and
stabbing.
That was the type Of infantry bat
ties for $50 years. To minimize the
courage needed to make a good SOL
der under such circumstances is to
hy in the face of common sense.
Modern wal requires a different
type OF courage from that needed of

 LANDSLIDE

Word arrived last night on the Rough Rider of a probably fatal accident on the west coast. It appears that the Can adian boundary survey crew had established a camp at the foot of a bluff near Cape Muzon, and the heavy rains of last Saturday caused slide which swept the camp out or existence, burying and proba- lily killing instantly the two surveyors in charge of the work. Word of the ac 'ient was sent to Sulzer, and from there here. Capt. Hubbard of the firm of Williams and Hub hard who are chartering the surveyors the Teddy, wired the particulars of the accident to Prince Rupert and was instruc- ted to proceed to Nicolls bay where the survey maintained a second camp, notify them of the accident and then proceed to the scene of the accident to recover the bodies.

THE BEST FIGHTERS
 IN EUROPE.

The war against the Turks has proved that the muscle and rugged health of the Bulgarians count for more than German drilling. The Bull garian races are noted for long life in spite of the severity of their mountain homes, and scientists tell us it is due not only to their frugal lives but especially to fermented milk foods so much used by them For many generations they have held the secret of making Maya, ferment which is found to contain certain tactic fer ments.
 Huxley's Lactic Ferments, contain ing these special ferments in concen- trated tablet form, are most service able in preventing dyspepsia, promo ting healthy digestion and preventing wind and decomposition within the intestines. One oH two Huxley's tab lets with each meal suffice, or one tablet may be used to makea delicious ,nutty-havored sour milk, far super for to ordinary buttermilk.
