We BEGIN this week our prayer
meeting attendance campaign. We
wish to urge all to attend. During
this period other christian people
are observing religious rites and
performing religious services and
we feel that once a week is not too
much to expect of every member of
this church in the way of religious
service in addition to the Sunday
services. Let US make the attend
ance large and the interest great.
Every body invited to all the
Sunday services.

CONSCRIPTION BILL
 BEFORE THE HOUSE
ALL MALES BETWEEN 1a AND Al YEARS OF AGE ARE LIABLE
 -oR SERVICE.

Londoh.-Under the terms of the compulsory military service bill, 1n- troduced in the House of Commons, all males between the ages of IS and Al who are bachelors or widowers without children dependent on them are liable for military service.
 Ireland is excluded from the terms of the measure.
 MT. Asquith opened his address with an analysis of the figures in the Derby report. He emphasized the fact that during the Derby campaign near ly 3,000,000 men had offered their ser vices. Even deducting those rejected on the ground of physical disability, the total was still in excess of g.. 50O,0OO.
 These are wonderful, encouraging figures" the premier continued. They ought to convince both our allies and our enemies that the people of this country have their hearts in the war"
 The bill, MT. Asquith continued, was limited specifically to redemp. tion of the promise he had made pub licly to married men. This pledge had been given at a time when over whelming evidence had been sub- mitted to him that married men who were willing and anxious to serve were holding back in large numbers. They needed to be treasured that hay ing regard for their circumstances and the business they were carrying on, they could count upon their terms of service being postponed until the younger and single men had been called up. If assurance had not been given at that time there would have been danger that the whole recruit ing campaign would break down.

STOP EATING MEAT IF
 KIDNEYS OR BACK HURT
neys If Bladder Bothers You Meat Forms Uric Acid.

Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says well-known authority, because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region; rheu- matic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir- ritation.
 The moment your back hurts or kid neys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys wifi then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged lid neys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts cannot injure anyone: makes delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease.-Adv.

Travelling with a cello is almost as good and almost as bad-as travel ing with a child. It helps you, for ex- ample, in cultivating friendly relations with fellow passengers. Suppose there Bsa broken wheel, or the engineer IS ywaiting for No. 26 to pass, or you are stalled for three days in blizzard what's more jolly than to undress your cello and play each of those present Sthe tune he would like to hear, and lead the congregational singing of

 144ir of intrinsic uninterestedness, 61ed which MT. Clayton Hamilton has receitly glorified with such brio in the Unpopular Review, Robert Haven Schauff1er writes in the Atlantic.
 But this is only the bright side Tn some ways travelling with cello is as uncomfortable as travelling, not only with a baby, but with a donkey. Unless, indeed you have an instru- ment with convenient hinged door in the back so that you may back it full of pajamas, collars, brushes, MSS, and so forth, thus dispensing with a bag; or unless you can calk up it's F holes and use the instrument as a canoe on occasion, cello is about as 'fFfconyenient a travelling companion as tho corbsh in Stevenson's tale, which would insist on getting into the wrong box
