Women Best Preyaricators.

"Women are better liars than men,
but God bless them just the same, =
said Police Magistrate ]. M. Fitzgerald
of the Omaha police court.
"Women come into court and lie
right along, under oath. Their lies do
not show on their faces, either, but l
can tell they are lying because their
stories contradict those of reliable wit
nesses.
"When men lie they hesitate, turn
red. swallow, etc. One can tell they're
living lust by watching their faces and
necks.
"But YOU can't tell it on woman.
They lie outrageously and stick 10
their stories In the face of everything.
They know just the right time to de-
waite from the truth, too. Their lies
always count in the outcome OF their
trfals-if they are believed. Men
haven't thu, same knack at the art that

win Remember CITY Of ciessen.

The ancient fortified city of Ges-
sen in Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany,
will for long be remembered among
British especially among Canadians
as the place where several thousands
of their soldiers captured in battle
were held as prisoners of war, notes
writer at the front. Those fine men
who held the way against the German
advance at st. Julien in the spring of
1915, were so tenacious in holding the
positions absolutely vital to the al
lied cause that they were absolutely
without ammunition or food, when sur
rounded. A few survivors only of
those regiments which in the words
of the general commanding, .saved the
day." were left, starved and stunned
and worn out to be gathered in by the
enemy's hordes. These were sent on
by stages to Giessen, and there some
of them remain to this day, having
been Joined by many other captives
from various armies, until it is prob
able 10000 or 10000 men are held
there.

THE NEW METHOD
(By L. W. Bower, MIDI

Backache of any kind Is often caused
by kidney disorder, which means that the
kidneys are not working properly. Poison
Gus matter and uric acid accumulate
within the body in great abundance,
overworking the sick kidneys; hence the
congestion of blood causes backache in
the same manner as similar congestion
in the head causes headache. You be-
come nervous, respondent, sick, feverish.
irritable. have spots appearing before the
eyes, bags under the lids, and lack ambi-
ton to do things.
The latest and most effective means
of overcoming this trouble, is to eat spar
ingly of meat, drink plenty of water be-
tween meals and take a single An-u-ric
tablet before each meal for a while.
Simply ask your favorite druggist for

Blamed the Bee.

He was slow young man, and she
was despairing of him ever attempting
to kiss her. But as they stood at the
garden gate, holding each others
hand, naughty, nasty bee alighted on
his neck, and its sting made him sud-
denly lurch forward, with the result
that he found his lips pressed against
those of his sweetheart So he sealed
the accident with a kiss.
"George!" she exclaimed in amaze
ment, as she turned her head to
smile
"It was-er-the bee's-er-fault,"
stammered George, blushing all over
his countenance. II hope you're not
angry"

twinkle in her eye. "Pm sorry there

One Happy Thought.

A party of "Jocks" were partaking
Of bully beef and biscuits in the
trenches. They sighed as they chewed
and then one burst out:
"Just think OF, boys, two eggs
flower slices O. bread, and a bowl O. tea
for half a franc!''
There was sudden silence, and
when the little party had recovered
from their dizziness one asked:
"Where can We get all that?"
"Nae place." answered the first
speaker sadly. "Nae place. But just
think OF !"
