BAD LIVERS.

Not only is the Liver the largest but one of the most important organs in the human body, and when deranged it becomes the source of endless suffering. When the Liver is clogged by the inactivity of the kidneys and bowels, it becomes torpid, and fails to filter the bile from the blood, thus producing. biliousness and a general impairment of the digestive system. The tongue is coated, the head aches, digestion is imperfect; there is aching of the limbs and back, feelings of fulness, weight and soreness over the stomach and liver; the eye becomes yellow and jaundiced and the complexion muddy, the urine is scanty and highly coloured, and the bowels irregular, constipation and looseness alternating. There is little use treating the liver separately, as it can never be set right until the kidneys and bowels are made active in removing the waste from the body. It is for this very reason that Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills "have always proved so wonderfully successful in curing the most chronic Liver complaint, biliousness and complicated ailments of the kidneys, liver, and bowels. They reach the liver as no other remedy does.

SIDELIGHTS FROM GERMANY.

DARING CRITICISM OF THE

WAR PARTY

The Austrish Socialist organ, the Arbeiter Zeitung, has a remarkable ending artick, headed It Was Not My Will," in which are very daring criti- cisms of the Garman military parties ar contained.

It will be remembered that these are the words attributed to the German Emperor on a recent feld-of-battle. His Majesty, looking at the hecatombs of elain-it was ons of the bloodice" battles on the Eastern front-grow pale, and in a broken voies exolaited: It was not may will!" Such at least is the story circulated in the German and Austrian Press.

The Arbeiter Zeitung states that Count Borchfeld is credited with a exactly similar nanark under almost similar circumstances. It also says that the late Austrian Foreign Besidiary wrote in an autograph album with re ference to the war was not my doing

A GERMAN HOME'S MENU.

A Gorman, clergyman, writing in the Frankfurter Zeitung, warns the Govern ment (says & Reuter message from Amsterdam) against any further increase ia the price of living, and describes the conditions among his flock. The Herr Paston communicates the text of a food programme drawn up by the wife of a labourer who is at the front at Ypres, and whose eldest son is with the Crown Prince's army. She has eight children, whose daily fare is as follows:-
