THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY. JANUARY 18, 1917 Beware of the Cold Storage Egg! In his work on food and dietetics Doctor Robert Hutchison says, "the absence of carbohydrates prevents eggs from being in any sense a complete food." This refers to the fresh egg--the egg with a clean bill of health. What would Doctor Hutchison say of the modern cold storage egg? At present prices two eggs cost ten cents--and the egg is not a complete food! Something must be eaten with it to supply the needed carbohydrates. Two Shredded Wheat Biscuits, with cream or milk, make a complete, perfect meal at a cost of four or five cents. Made in Canada. GERMANY'S PEACE PROPOSAL. By Chas. M. Bice, Denver, Colo. The peace proposal emanating through Germany's Chancellor, Hoi-wegg, has not the true ring, and will never be the basis, much less the terms upon which hosi ies shall cease. Great Britain's repiy thereto was admirably presented by the new prime minister, Lloyd George, and which seems to have the consensus of the allies opinion of the situation. In the first place, the proposal for peace is based on the falsehood that Germany is victorious so far in the war, when as a fact, she has lost nearly all of her colonial possessions, has been beaten on the most important front--the western, and has only possession of a couple of small states end a small part of France which she occupied almost without resistance at the start. Since that time, she has gained nothing important, but has lost strategic ground, and has about exhausted her resources of both means and men. Under these circumstances her peace proposal have been rightly denounced by the allies as insincere and put forth for the sole purpose of gaining time to recuperate her almost depleted re- The world waited for the word of David Lloyd George, as from ular divinity of Delphi, backed by the dignity and authority of an enipb came forth with no uncertain sound, and characterized the German tender of peace as an offensive act, a play to the neutral galleries, and an effort to _ deceive the_ German people and to holster their cause in the Teuti We are all thankful that the nations fighting with Great Britain also rej< ed the German proposal with equal emphasis as dishonest, and not ever fit to form the basis for a settlemen: for further negotiations. Mr. George quoted the memorable utterances of Abraham Lincoln fine effect, and cited the attitude of that great patriot who stood so firmly and grandly against compromise the great essentials of the conflict. We must never forget that there are three first-class powers along with Britain in this supreme struggh that any concession from one would be extremely dangerous at this from its aptitude of playing directly into the hands of the enemy. The allies are joined by a i compact respecting proposals terms of peace, and it is suspected that they regard this agreement ing something more than a mere "scrap of paper." Naturally it is not the so-called "humanity" of the war that appeals to them first, as it would to neutral na- They must stand together or go down to disaster. This they have agreed to do, so the epochal struggle will go on, until militarism is crushed and wiped from the face of the earth. Blouses and Skirts SHORTAGE 6F FEED.

This article is for the man man who suffers from rheumatism who wants to be cured, not merely relieved--but actually cured. The most the rheumatic sufferer can hope rubbing something on the tender, aching joint, is a little relief. No lotion or liniment make a cure. The rheumatic poison is rooted in the blood. Therefore rheumatism can only be cured when poisonous acid is driven out of blood. Any doctor will tell you this is true. If you want something that will go right to the root of the blood take Dr. Williams Pink Pills. They make new, rich blood which drives out the poisonous acid and rheumatism to stay cured. The truth of these statements has been proved in thousands of cases throughout Canada, and the following cure is triking instance. Mrs. F. M. Simp-i, R.R. No. 1, Blenheim, Ont., says: or a long time I was confined to my bed, and actually crippled with rheumatism. The trouble first located in my ankle--which was much swollen. I thought it might be a sprain, but the doctor said it was rheumatism and advised me to go to bed so that the trouble would not be aggravated. I did as directed, but instead of getting better it spread first to my right knee, thbn to my left knee, and then to my arms. The limbs were much swollen, and if I moved them caused me considerable pain. I seemed to get weak in other respects and fell off in weight from 156 to 110 pounds. I had no appetite and seemed to lose interest in everything. One day while reading a paper I came across the case of a rheumatic sufferer cured by using Dr. Williams Pink Pills. I decided to try them and sent for three boxes. By the time these were gone I had certainly begun to improve, and with help was able to get up. Continuing the use of the pills I was first able to go about with the use of a crutch, which later I discarded for a cane, and then through the use of the pills I was able to throw aside the cane as well, and go about as briskly as I had ever done. I feel that Dr. Williams Pink Pills have been a blessing to me, and I strongly recommend them to other similar suf- You can procure these pills through \ know that is disrespectful?" any dealer in medicine or get them by !
