SUFFER FROM HEADACHES MAKES LIFE MISERABLE. Headaches seem to be habitual with many people. Some are seldom, it ever; free from it, suffering con- tinually with the dull throbbings, the intense pain, sometimes in one part, sometimes "in another, and then over the whole head, varying in its severity by the .cause which brings it on. The varieties of headache most tommen are sick or bilious headache, nervous headache, headache: from constipation, debility or indigestion and periodical and spasmodic head- ache, and undoubtedly "the cause must be removed before permanent roifef can be had. . Burdock Blood Bitters, that has been on the market for over 40 years, removes the cause of the head- ache, and not only does this but also restores the entire system to healthy action and buoyant vigor. . Miss Emily Smith, 204 Bellwoods Ave., Toronto, Ont., writes: "I can- not speak too highly of Burdock Blood Bitters. For two years 1 was greatly troubled with violent head- aches, particularly in the morning. I tried everything to cure me until a friend recommended B.B.B. I tried it, and now I am completely cured."

Discovers drug that loosens sore, touchy corns so they lift out A noted Cincinnati chemist dis- covered a new ether compound and called it freezome and little quarter ounce bottles can now be obtained from any drug store for a few cents. You simply apply several drops of freezone upon a tender corn or pain- ful callus and instantly the soreness disgppears, then shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can just 1ift it' off with the fingers. No pain, not a bit of soreness, either when applying freezone or af- terwards and it doesn't even irritate the skin. 5 Hard corns, soft corns or corns be- tween the toes, also toughened cal- luses just shrivel up and lift off easy. it '#8 wonaerful!

' London, April 10.--A despatch to The Daily Mail from The Hague states that Germany is combing out every available .man, even from the munition factories, and drafting them into the fighting ranks. Some works either have been closed or are em- ploying only a few girls, while raw materials have ceased to arrive in usual quantities at certain works. t is stated, for instance, that well- known car works at Opologne and Mulheim were practically closed during the week, the Germans em- ployed there being taken out for various services, some of them for the front. At certain dye works in another Rhenish district only a few girls are left, all the German em- ployees, even wounded men, having being transferred to other services. At Cologne, brick works and cable works, which have also being em- ployed on munitions, are equally re- duced to a few girls or have been closed altogether, A neutral who reached Holland Friday night had a conversation with a German who had just returned from the Western front. He put the German losses at, roughly, a quarter of a million, and added: "Nobody any longer believes - we shall now reach Paris. We are simply mown down by machine guns.. At one place the French made a rampart of Ger- man bodies as high as a man." It is also .very noticeable, the peutral said, that in Germany the women are getting out of hand as the tales of losses increase and as trainloads of wounded return. The result of all this transportation of wounded is the circulation of wild rumors to account for them, such as the breaking of dykes and the flood- ing out of a large body of German troops; or, again, the breaking of the flank of the German position op- posite Amiens, and the collapse of Crown Prince Rupprecht"s army. Wild rumors fly about Cologne of the loss of 40,000 men as prisoners in one day. These rumors, or some of them, have now been denied by the Ger- man press, on the demand of mili- tary authorities, but they show the state of mind produced by the dis crepancy between the official and other inspired reports of the situ- ation and the facts as they appear from the transport of wounded. HUMOR REQUIRED J FOR ROCKY SPOTS Rev. Dr. R. Bruce " Taylor Preaches Sermon For Older Men. Speaking on the subject, "So that 1 might finish my course with joy," at the anniversary services of ithe College Street Presbyterian Church, Toronto on Sunday evening Rev. R. Bruce Taylor, principal of Queen's University, stated that he had sym- pathy with the man who led a con- gregation, as a great deal of the ser- vices were simply run for the benefit of the young men, and he had never, as far as he could remember,seen any for those who were getting old, but he wished to speak to that section of He said it wag a hard thing to remember the words of the Scriptures and to "finish the course with joy," as old age meant- increasing loneliness.

"When a man has suffered as long as I have and had about given up hope of ever getting well, to find re- lief at last through taking a medicine within the reach of everybody sounds almost miraculous, but that's what has happened in my case" recently sald Fred J. Rodd, of 322 Parliament street, Toromto, an employee of the British Forging Company. "I believe that for fifteen years, continued Mr. Rodd, "I had the worst case of stomach trouble anybody ever ad.

'1 couldn't eat meat at all and many a time after taking a few mouthfuls of food 1 would turn deathly sick and vomit up everything I had eaten and 1 would have to skip two or three meals before 1 could eat anything else. Gas pressed around my- heart and made it act so strangely that I would become alarmed. I would ac- tually get numb all over, my eyes would blur as if 1"'was going blind, 1 felt like I was paralized and would be in such agony I couldn't move or hardly speak. My head ached like it would split and my sufferings were almost more than I could bear. "1 tried about everything I could hear of but nothing helped me and finally hearing so much about Tan- lac 1 decided to try it. I am. on my third bottle'and my relief is some- thing wonderful. My appetite has returned, I cdn eat meat or anything else and relish every mouthful. I never have a touch of my old trou- ble, gas has stopped forming and 1 have never had ome of those awful spells with my heart since I started on my first bottle. 1 am stronger and better in every way and am so delighted with the way Tanlac is straightening me out that 1 want everybody to know it."
