INDIGESTION.
It is not the quantity of fond we eat, but what we digest and assimilate that nourishes the body. When the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition are discased, and the food eaten is only imperfectly digested, there is loss of nutrition, and, the body loses strength as a notural consequence. Not only does the system suffer from lack. of nourishment, but the derangement of the organs the

THE MAKING OF HELMETA.
With regard to helmets, it is true tha it took a long time for the military authorities to accept the French view to their ility, but the moment they de cided there was m delay in the manufac ture. The Lask was undertaken by th French Warfare Department of the Ministry of Musilions, and that parti cular branch I consider to be one of th most efficient business departments tha I have ever been associated with or the I have ever cone into contact with Hundreds of thousands, something ap proaching, a million, of helmets ha already been manufactured. (Hear hear.) There is this to be said even wit regard to the delay. I think it is with out any challenge the best helmet on the battlefield at the present time. 1t a better helmet than either the French Italian. or Germa helmet, so I am as sured. It is not a thing of beauty. Va could not commcat on it for its artisi qualities, but it is an extraordinarily efficient helmet, it has saved thousands of
·lives, and wounds have been considerably modifed as the result of wearing th helmet.
Ny right hon, friend knows that I tak.. his view with regard to protection. Th idea of protective shields, whether for the had or any other part of the body, wil I believe, bo developed very considerably Up to the present no army has though ito utilize it. It has been tried by mos armies, but not very successfully. I k Tierp we shall in this respect as

My hon and gllant friend raised the question of engaging the manpower of other parts of the Empire, and that jong in at a rate exceeding that of any sibility is a very important factor. It is a matter upon which you cannot conę ic a conclusion immediately. There is no doubt at all that our resources aro in finitely greater than they appear to be upon any statement which has beer ied, and it is just as well that the enemy should know that (Cheers.) 1 an in general agreement with the view taken by my hou, and gallant friend bu to what extent this power should be use and what are the best ways in which it shoald he utilized are subjects for careful consideration. As to the possibility of ¦ its being utilized effectively, I have beter had the slightest doubt, and I am certai that action will be taken, and 1 hope | taken very soon, with a view to putting us in a position to make use of this great resources outside the United King dom. The French have utiliked similär: resources to a very large extent, and we might follow their example.
Cheere, I was the only anxiety that was left. We had no doubt of the capacity of British manufacturers to quip the Army. Equipment was pour ther army in the world.
The gas urned out of British design were the best in the battlefield. The only possible loubt was whether we could in the course if a few months turn out men who would able to utili those very delicate, ubtle, and complex machines in such a yay us to hit a target three, four, and ive miles off, and a very small farget that. They have done it. (Cheers) I shows what we were certain of, that here never was an army of better ma orial on a more intelligent army. It is not merely that we have got the intel- igence and brains of the nation in the Army, but we can feel that they have Concentrated the whole of their energies and thought upon perfecting their skill n such a way as to win the victory for heir country.
