REGULARITY OF THE BOWELS

The First Line of Defence against Ill-Health.

Only about one man or woman in a hundred is perfectly healthy. The other 99 have some digestive trouble,

ble, and perhaps more than 50 per cent of these could trace their trouble to that prevalent evil constipation. Its a simple thing of itself, but like many simple things, it may grow and become complicated. Constipation is the root of nine-tenths of the sickness of man, and a large proportion of the sickness of women. Nature often requires à little assistance, and if this assistance is given at the first indication much distress and suffering may be averted. To maintain a healthy system the bowels should operate at least once every 24 hours. This is one of Nature's wise provisions

which is 100 often ignored, and the result is untold suffering. Women and children are the greatest offenders, but why such should be the case is a problem to be solved Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are a remedy which, taken at the first indication, assist Nature to restore the

system to health__and strength, and avert the development of disease. Every ailment is the effort of Nature to get rid of some impurity in the system, and the object of medical treatment is to assist Nature in doing To overcome constipation Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills do this surely and thoroughly.

ADMIRAL VON KOSTER ON THE

Our confidence in our Navy is as firm as a rock. But we know that the naval battle means death or victory, and that, once feet has been destroyed, 15 can nover be renewed during the course of the same war, even if the

on for years campaign goes This reminder was uttered by Grand Admiral von Köster in the course of a lecture on the naval aspects of the war which he delivered at Kiel University at the end of last month. Grand Admiral von Koster is, with the Emperor William, Prince Henry of Prussia, and Grand Admiral von Tirpitz, the fourth holder of this rank in the German Navy. He wa some time commander of the High S Flest, and is still better known ne tho veteran President of the Navy League -

The lecturer based his reminder on the following considerations:visu dolyar If under the régime of Prince Louis of Battenberg the British Battle Fleet did not deliver any direct thrust, and if since Lord Fisher has become First Lord of the Admiralty (sic) this system has to this day apparently remained unchanged, we may infer that England desires at all costs to be in a position when pence is concluded, to dictato tho torms by means of her Navy, as belits Albion, the mistress of the world.

It may be that our eagerness for battle is rated so high that these people say to them- selves :-" Some day, however, they will come, and we shall then be able to take up the challenge under conditions favour- able to ourselves." It may be, too, that we are esteemed more highly than Nelson in his day esteemed the French and the Spaniards. It is perfectly reasonable to assume that the offensive spirit of our Navy may be accounted superior to that of the British Navy, if one considers that we have taken the offensive on the English coast, whereas the British have hitherto not ventured within reach of the German conato

For what would be the rosult if a naval battle took place to-morrow in which each of our ships was accompanied to the bottom by one of the enemy's ships and perhaps by even a few more Then we should be without a flect while England would be able to proceed step by step with her attacks upon our coasts.

THE "TURKISH INVASION OF

EGYPT."

Writing before the defeat of the Turka near the Suez Canal, a writer in Capital (Calcutta) observed

so far as the Turkish Invasion of Egypt is concerned, it would appear as though the attempt is certainly matur- ing. Turkish regular troops have crossed the Egyptian frontier unopposed, and it is reported that the Turks have now sus- occded in collecting about 13,000 camels for their projected dash across the eighty odd miles of desort which separate them. from the Suez Canal. Most of the Arab regiments have been sent to Thrace and the Caucasus, their places in Syria hay ing been taken by Turks, it being feared that the Arabs would not fight against

Our Fleet must in all circumstance ono Moslem religious opinion at protect us, and must accent battle only when it can count on success. We must emerge unvanquished both on sea and on land, in order that, we may win for ourselves an honourable peace which shall shake England's world-dominion to its foundations May God grant us the victory!

A very interesting conclusion to the whole proceedings was reached when the balo came to be finally offered outright. First it commanded a bid of 1s. 4d. per lb. a good market value. Then Mr. E S Fernau, who is a well known member of the trade, bid 25. Miss Jacomb, daughter of the auctioneer, finally bid 29. Old, and it was knocked down to her. Probably this is the first time in the history of the trade that a lady has bid for wool at the London Colonial sales. The auctions have bean conducted in the City for over 100 years.

CASUALTIES AMONG BRITISH OFFICERS.

The Army and Nary Gazelle, remarks an English contemporary, has done a good i sad service in publishing a list of officers who had been killed and wounded during the war down to the end of December. The list of killed is a long one, but it is indeed a noble roll of honour and as long as the British Empire endures the names regarded in it deserve to be held in grateful remem brance by their countrymen|A|| regiments have suffered heavily, but some more than others. In the Brigade of Guards 84 officers have been killed and. 141 wounded. The Royal Artillery has lost 09 ellicers killed and 163 wounded, The figures for the 60th Pifes are 18 and 50 and for the Royal Engineers 27 and 50. In the B.A. M.C. 25 officers have been killed and 37 wounded, a striking testi mony to the heroic work done by the medical officers serving with Sir John French a army. The Scottish regiments have long casualty liste, hub for ile size the Worcester Regiment appears to head the roll of honour, having lost no fewer than 27 offoors killed and 33 wounded.
