FOUL BREATH.

WOMEN'S

GREATEST

MISFORTUNE.

The old saying that "distance lends enchantment was never more aptly to the point than when applied to those people whose breath is laden with evil smelling odours. Many persons appear most attractive at a distance, but produce a feeling of pity and disgust when close to because of the condition of their breath. For instance, it makes little difference how beautiful a woman may be, or how charming her matuer, if her breath is foul, her charm is gone and she is at a dis- advantage when ever she comes in contact with other people. Foul breath in women arouses in man a feeling of repugnance and a desire to get out of the company of such a woman as quickly as possible, and even women will avoid her. It is therefore important for every woman who values her personal attraction to take such care of herself that this unpleasant and unnecessary complaint is avoided or corrected. Men, women and children who are troubled with this complaint will drive their friends away more rapidly than any other affliction. People do not realise their breaths are bad because they are like those who are constantly employed among paints and varnishes they get used to what is olors a most offensive smell. In nearly all cases this condition is due to Constipation and a disordered Stomach, and a coated Tongue, slight Headache, and feverishness are the sure signs that the digestive organs are retaining quantities of impurities from which the system should be free, thereby causing the Breath to become charged with the foul odour. In Dr. Morses Indian Root, Pills there will be found a searching, cleansing remedy which will drive the masses of decaying corruption that poison the Blood and contaminate the breath-from the system through the regular channels. They get at the cause as no other remedy does. They get at the the foundation of the complamt. They give you clean bowels, a healthy stomach, a lively liver, and blood that is rich and red. They are safe, sure and reliable remedy, and will prevent many of the complaints old and gentle. so common if taken once or twice a week to keep the system in a healthy condition. They are purely regctable, and their action is not accompanied by any nauscous or griping sensation, but is mild

This title, I acknowledge, requires sort of expounding. No doubt in that golden futuro when every man has become his own State there will be representatives galore, bat at present we are not accus- tomed to such a profusion of Legations. And still less are we accustomed, in the striot sense, to our Legations being at sea. The simple fact is that when the Allied Ministers had, delivered their ultimatum to King Constantine's Government last December and had to leave Athens till full reparation had been given, they took up, most of then, their quarters on board a ship which, after a short spell in Pirmas harbour, sailed out to Salamis and has been there since. E 620 was that ship

DIPLOMATIC ARK;"

The fact of German barbarism cannot be denied, and Mr. Chesterton nceases Mr. Shaw of inventing "half a hundred fancies" to explain it away.

"It is the unfortunate fact that there is a barbarian in Northern Europe, in the sense in which it is a fact that, there is a tiger in a jungle. There are & great many other things in the jungle, of course, There are birds in the jungle; and there are are musicians in Germany. There creatures in the jungle as meek as mutton or as fat as pork; and there, are Germans: of a similar description.

►

"If a man prove too clearly and con- that a tiger vincingly to himself. is an optical illusion-well, he will find out he is wrong. The tiger will himself intervene in the discussion,, in a manner which will be in every sense conclusive."

"THEIR "KULTUR."

Mr. Chesterton refers to the brutal insults of the Wittenberg doctors to the British dying, and he affirms that English doctors could not have behaved in the same way, The Germans assert that pity is an immoral sentiment, and doubtless the doctor outside the Wittenberg amp thought that pity would lower his vitality.".

In other words, if an English doctor had done such a thing, we should say he did it, although he was an educated man, But the German doctor would do it because he.. was

It is true that Germans are Card it has become well-known, and there is no great secret about it. A jaundiced nearly all culured that is their culture.
