A WORD FOR MOTHERS

1t Is grave mistake for mothers to neg
lect their aches and pains and suffer in
silence-this only leads to chronic sick
ness and often shortens life.
1fyour work is firing; if your nerves are
excitable; if you feel languid, weary or
depressed, you should know that Scott 8
Emulsion overcomes just such conditions.
1t possesses in concentrated form the
very elements to invigorate the blood,
strengthen the tissues, nourish the nerves
and build strength.
SCOTS is strengthening thousands of
mothers-and will help you. No alcohol.

Status of Arab Nation.
Guaranteed

The Arab nation is without money
for natural resources. Its territory con-
tains neither mineral nor external agri-
cultural wealth-but the redemption
of Mesopotamia will afford the Arab
of the future opportunity for aggran-
dizement. There, under semi-inde-
pendence, after barrages on the Tigris
and Euphrates have been built by Brit
lsh energy and cash, Bagdad may rise
to higher scale of learning, splendor
and wealth than under the caliphat of
HarouR al Raschid.
OF the entire outcome from the war,
therefore, notes n correspondent, the
Arab renaissance is assuredly not the
least momentous. Historically, 1t will
mark the advent of new era ethno-
logically 1t becomes a charming study
of futurlsts of literature.

Queen Mother's oift Bible.

Upon one of his journeys during the
Antarctic expedition Sir Ernest Shack
Teton was obliged to reduce his lug
gage to the smallest possible amount.
He states that up to this point the
Bible given by Queen Alexandra to the
ships library provided by the British
and Foreign Sailors society had been
carried with the party. In leaving
other things behind 1t was decided
with reluctance that this also must
be abandoned.
AS the Bible contained on its flyleaf
q message written by Queen Alexan-
dra, the flyleaf was cut out. also the
pages containing the Twenty-thlrd
psalm and the chapter In the Book of
Job which speaks of the sea being fro
zen. These three pages were carried
TO the end Of the journey and brought
back TO this country.
Sir Ernest has promised to present
the three pages TO the society to be
sold on behalf Of its funds.

Best Soldier a MiddIeweIobt

1t isn't the big 110-pounders that
the examining boards who have been
choosing recruits for the new National
army greet with enthusiasm, says Mile
stones It's the 1.-the chap who weighs
about lio and hasn't Il pound to spare
that is the real prize for military sery-
ice.
Tests made Mt Princeton and in the
training camps go to show that,
weight for weight, man of this
build handles himself more effectively.
He scores relatively low in strength
tests, but remarkably high in endur-
ance. He is adaptable when it comes
to the notifications of diet that life
In camp makes necessary and he can
stand inspection with full equipment
on hot day and smile, while the big
fellow willis and falls out.

Collecting Military Stamps.

Collectors in the United States are
now gathering postmarks of letters
sent from the American camps in
France, which are stamped ~. S.
Army Postal Service" They figure
that if anything definite results from
the peace talk, the expeditionary
forces postmark will be valuable be-
caus of its comparative rarity, rs they
believe that most of the letters COM
ing to the United States from the sol
diers abroad are sent to close friends
and relatives who, for sentimental rea-
sons, will have the missives, envelopes
and all.
