Mental and Physical Fatigue.
When brain or body is weary the digestive powers are weakened and distaste for ordinary food is often experienced. Under such circumstances the "Allenburys' Diet is especially valuable. It is pleasant to take, easily digested and assimilated and speedily restorative. Thus it helps the system to recover tone and vigour. The Allenburys' DIET is prepared from pura rich milk and whole wheat-the two vital food elements-combined in partially pre-digested form.

But the very phrase sounds as it were the Kaiser'd own; and still we wonder whether be felt the responsibility, or only saw him self as the War Lord feeling it.
The Germans have always been a comic people, and their Kaiser now, on this tragic stage, is more a figure of oomody than ever.

And so he is of cially a war lord, the over-chieftain of all the Teutonic warriors; and he can, at any moment, talk like someone 30 Wagner libretto about mailed fists and. shining armour and what not. The Gor. mans see no incongruity in this because they tou, can, whenever it suits them, think of themselves as rushing out of their virgin forests upon the corrupt and effete Latins. In these moods they forget all about Borlin, which is not at all like virgin forest, and Potsdam, which is not the mountain home of a Wagnerian say

The movements of neighbours, Germany, now that she is the German plotter and his agents are. an empire, cannot satisfy her romantic being closely shadowed: soul with Prussian cynicism, although she has accepted the Frissian political morality; and so she has produced a romantic Hohenzollern, for whom the doctrine of Frederick has clothed itself in Wagnerian language and the atheism of Frederick has become Biblical.
But if the ghost of Frederick smiles at his successor as a hypocrite, it does hira an injustice. The Kaiser is too com- pletely official to be a hypocrite, and the nation he represents is not -hypeeritical A hypocrite is one who pretends to a morality that is not his; but the Germaa national morality is just what it professes to be the only wonder is that they can feel renautic over it. But they can do this through their power of seeing themselves as they are not in a world that is not. So when the Kaiser told his troops to behave in China as if they were the Huns of Attila, he saw himself as the Securge of God, forgetting, of course, that Attila's god, theologically at least, was got his. He was in the mood to be splendidly barbaric and all Germany, including, unfortunately the Corinan Army, foli splendidly barbaric at his word. They forgot all about their culture and the cold judgment that the civilized world would pass upon them, as a nation professing to. be civilized and Christian. They were in the mood to be Huus, and they acted accordingly.
