HEADACHES.
The Cause and Remedy.
5
Sick and Nervous Headaches are but the symptoms of other ail- ments to which they are merely sympathetic, such as Indigestion, Biliousness, Constipation, or some other irregu- larity of the system. Many women habitually suffer from Headaches, which make life a daily purgatory. Indeed this complaint may be regarded as peculiarly an affection of the feminine sex, an ailment common to all women from girlhood to old Lage. If men suffered from Headaches as women do, business would be at a standstill, but the truth is that a woman's headache is generally due to womanly causes. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills get at the cause. They aid the digestion and assimilation of food, cleanse the system and purify the blood, and are a positive care for sick. headache, biliousness and stomach disorders.
~They are a perfect Blood Purifier and a positive and per manent cure for Biliousness, Indiges- tion, Constipation, Headaches, Sallow, Complexion, Liver
and Kidney Troubles,
Piles. Blotches, and
all Female Ajlments.

The number of the latter, now serving the British Army in France amount to thousands. The pro vision, manning, maintenance and run ning of this vast fleet of motors, with eno or two small exceptions, as well as that of all the stown and animal transport, falls to the lot of the Transport Depart- ment, and the magnitude of the work entailed may be inmgined.
Nothing can convey an idea of the magnitude and complexity of the main tenance and repair work of the transport better than a visit to a base. Here, in the M. T. Parks, will be seen rows of brand new vehicles either ready to take the road or in process of being tuned up to do so.

Applications for the job at once began to pour into the Treasury. Over 650 had been received by the 11th. They came chiefly by letter, telegram, and telephone.

Through efficient cracking processes Great Britain could easily produce in the country any portion of her supply, and the time might not be very remote when she could thus produce it from her own homo-raised raw material. Although in the average spirit produced by cracking there was more odour than that of standard petrol, the odoar was infinitely less than with benzǝl. I was certain that spirit could be pro- duced by cracking that had no more odour than standard petrol. Almost every cracked spirit would give more mileage than petrol.
