GREEN OLD AGE

Assured by the Occasional Use of

Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills.

To reach a green old age and enjoy good health can only be obtained by the care of the system. It is from the little irregularities of the system that the common ailments arise, and nature gives many indications of the approach of these complaints which, if treated at once, may be warded off. Growing old. ought not to mean growing weak and feeble It does not mean weakness or feebleness for those who eat with a good appetite and sound digestion. It is of the utmost importance that old people should retain the power to digest and assimilate food, which is the sole source of physical strength. When age brings feebleness, it is generally because of the failure to assimilate the nutrition contained in food. To those in dechning years who find that Nature responds less readily to the demands made upon her, and who need a mild yet searching remedy to keep their system in proper working order, there is nothing like Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills They are a perfect Blood Purifier and a positive and purmanent cure for Bilicusores, Indigestion, Constipation, Headaches, Sallow Com plexion, Liver and Kidney Troubles. Pilcs, Blotches, and

all Femalo Ailments.

THE MILITARY SITUATION IN CASE OF INVASION.

A FEATURE OF MODERN ARMIES

RAPID RECOVERY ATTER DEFEAT.

INSTRUCTIONS TO THE INHABI

TANTS OF KENT, A

Lord Harris, seting Lord Lieutenant of Kent, has issued the following instruc tions to the inhabitants of the county of Kent in view of a possible invasion :—

In order to be recognised as a com- batant a volunteer must be a member of n Volunteer Corps which has been affiliated to the Contral Association of Volunteer Training Corps. Only members of such Corps will receive the badge issued by Government to combatants. It is the policy of Government to encourage every man of proper age and physique to enlist in the Navy or Army; any man who is disqualified, or from the nature of his employment cannot calist, can become s member of such a Volunteer Corps. Civilians who are not in possession of the Government badge will not be counted as combatants, they will be liable for all non-combatant duties, and they must bo prepared to surrender any arms which they may have in their possession.

The situation at mid-day on August 29th was thus described by Sir John French in his despatch dated September 17th - The pursuit of the enomy was vory vigorous; some five or six German corps were on the Bomma, facing the 5th (French) Army on the Oise.
