Winston Churchill, England's minister
Of munitions, made some injudicious re
marks while at the head of the navy
Still his heart is always in the right place
and when Britan,s crisis came in 1914
it was the navy that alone was ready. Mr.
Churchill has been in Scotland of late
and in one of his speeches was this warn
ing that means as much for us as England:
IF this war does not end in victory: il
it ends in an inconclusive peace, it vii
leave Germany stronger and impenitent
under the autocratic rulcrship. Their
goodbye to the hope of brighter ant
better future We should merely entel
upon d long period of unrest, suspicion
alarm and disorder Unless we gain tn,
victory we have nothing before us bu
ruin and strife. We have only to hole
on until the United States throws it
whole strength into the struggle to max
the victory complete. England is in tn
centre Of mighty league of nations

THE CATS.
(Copyright.)


There was once cat" said Daddy,
"and he looked so much like a tiger
that he was named Tiger. His last
name was West, and SO he was always
called Tiger West.
Now one day when Tiger West was
having a very fine breakfast of bacon
and milk a little stray cat came in the
yard. Meow, Meow said the stray
cat.
Tiger West lifted his beautiful head
from the milk bowl and began to wipe
his whiskers.
Meow he said rather proudly, for
he was q very fine cat and did not as
sociate with ordinary cats at all. He
was used to a silken cushion and fine
food. He was always well cared for
and his fur always looked quite per
feet.

WOMEN TOO AMBITIOUS.

Excessive ambition leads all sorts of
women to exert themselves beyond their
strength. The girl striving for honors
in school, the busy housewife, the shop
girl, the society climber or leader, all
overtax their natural powers of endur-
ance Then come nervous troubles,
backaches, headaches, frequently organ
&c troubles, which reduce them almost to
despair.
Women suffering thus should first rec
ognize the necessity of putting on the
brakes and slowing down. Besides this
to remedy the mischief already done to
their health, the best reliance is upon
that famous and standard medicine for
women s ailments, Lydia E. Pinkham s
Negotiable Compound.
