Soldiers Noisy preamers.

Landladies of London lodging houses near by
the railroad terminals such as Victoria and Water
loo are becoming diff1dent about taking in soldiers
just back from the front. particularly those who
have participated in the fighting around Loos.
The landlades say the poor soldiers fight the
terrible battles over again in their sleep and the
shrieks and hysteria enough to shake the
strongest nerves.
Many of the men who took part in the engage
ment are afflicted with the most horrible of
dreams and somnambustically slash and kill, to
the terror of all the other dodgers.
Figures unobtainable, but the cases of
nervous breakdowns during the last few weeks
have reached high figure
Even officers have been affected, and men who
have stood up under the strain since the early
days of the say that the sights during the re.

Fernando pos Changes.

The Spanish island of Fernando Pc,
the destined receptacle of the German
fugitives from the CameroOns, was,
until African possessions looked up IN
quite recent times, one Of those I'M
considered trifies about which nobody
worried much. Discovered by the
Portuguese navigator whose name it
bears in 1471, it was occupied by the
Spaniards in 177S, BUT left derelict
in 1882. There was a British settle
ment in the island from 1927 to 1894,
utilized chiefly for observation upon
the slave traffic, and Baptist mission

who came back again in 1874, expelled
them In 1858.

The right way is to use permanent plants, in
stead of temporary ones; and to place them
where they will meet every practical need of the
family, instead of scattering them for shcw. And
the illinois way is to meet all the o'-tdoor needs
of the family by having 80 per cent of the plant
ing composed of trees and shrubs that grow wild
in Illinois. Why Illinois trees? Because they are
hardy and therefore economical to maintain. We

Canada as whole has enjoyed won

When Western Canada was faced
with her enormous harvest last fall
the military authorities decided that
soldiers in Canada could give the EN-
pire no better service for the time
being than to assist in harvesting the
crops. For that reason leave of alb

wished to work in the harvest fields,
and their labor was an important fac

their military duties in the spring for
a certain length Of time to enable
them to plant the seed for the crops

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
1t generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels Oft

obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces Of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for few days
ana your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon Juice, COM

for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys. also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-

joyous The sugar and Norway naples are fine
trees, but like all round-headed trees, they tend
to hide the view of house more quickly than
is commonly realized.
The ideal tree for frs ming the view of your
house is that will give enough sunlight and
enough shade, enough shelter and enough cool
ing breeze, to keep family healthy. The only
tree that does all these things to perfection is
the American elm-not the European. Moreover,
a pair of elms will make pointed or Gothic ARCH

are multiplying and if you plant ems you must
be willing to stand the expense of yearly spray
ing when the time Be sure to specify
vase-form elms. They the only ones that
make the Gothic arch, and more valuable
than the other types or struggling kinds.
A pair of oaks will last -onger than elms and
cost less to maintain. The oaks excel all other
trees in nesting close to house and making it
look snug and comfortable The common idea
that oaks are slow growers and hard to trans
plant is true only of the white oak. The pin,
the scarlet, and the red oaks easily moved,
and will soon overtake naples and other trees
that are quicker at the start. They will last for
centuries after the quick-growers' dead. Plant
the trees that you know will make your property
more valuable every year.
