Nervous prostration, locomotor ataxia and paralysis are the natural results of neglecting to keep the nerves In healthful condition.

The use of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food when you suspect there Is something wrong, will Boon restore vitality to the nervous system, and therehy prevent serious developments. Mrs Merritt Nichols, R. R. No.

I decided to try Dr.

Chase's Nerve Food, and the first box helped me so much that I used several, and believe that, this treatment saved me from having a paralytic stroke.

Ceneral orders bad been issued to this effect for all chaplains, but in the absence of any special order, I simply, used my own discretion, and used to go up always with my battalion. Never once had I failed to i-. in with them, until it became a kind of byword among the i haplains that was disobeying orders. So I suppose this was the reason for this definite order. I was ii ally disappointed, for I knew it was to be a big show and I wanted, io lie in it vv ith the hots.

You fathers, mothers, wives, sweethearts, little children, have borne your part and to you I send I this message that they did what I you expected them to do.

In one splendid offering they poured out all they had to Kite their lives. You 1 may mourn them, but you may not pity them. I had often wondered during these months how the men of the would carry themselves I hen the supreme demand was i made. Today as I stood looking: i down upon those little groups of men ho had gone overand through' and had come out again. I thank Cod that thev bad not shamed ton all.

but had kept the faith. As I looked at thorn I wondered at them their fines grave, serious, Lut still undaunted yes, even cheerful. Colonel's Place Empty "As I looked down upon them I could not allow my mind to pause i and reflect not for a moment could I indulge my grief, for 1 knew 1 I could Ko no further with my service, i and 1 had a Inessage for them from I God, if ever man hud. Before me one empty place in the officer's rank la-Id all our eyes the place where our colonel always stood just before un empty today, and nine other places in the same rank empty. A chaplain's Job, it seems to me, has its hard, hard moments, but it is to tell you how be dud that I set out to write this letter for he was one of us in St.

Stephen's session one. of that Iirst line band of young men, who gathered about mc 22 years ago. and who helped me in our young cause. The colonel went up with his regiment, into the line on the even-; ing of I he 7th. He moved his battle heatbiuarters right up Into the front hue.

though ho was not expected to do so, but has never shirked he sent officer or man wdirre- In1 was not prepared to go iurtisi If. Mis headquarters was a.n old German dugout, del and strong it I ent nces. I'roiii. this point, with Major Classic, second in command, and st. iff, he directed the attack.

The enemy's shells were dropping all about. At the hour of attack, the colonel leit the dugout and climbed on the top that he might catch the signals himself, that would let him know how the battle was going, and how his company commanders were fating. Here it was that a shell him and wounded him. but not very seriously. They 1 him down and Major Grassle dressed his wounds.

Soon the medical officer came up from the regimental aid post, redressed the wounds and made him fairly com-l'ortal le. Meantime the enemy shelling was growing more and more Intense they, of course, had the range of the dugout perfectly, and doubtless suspecting that it would be used us henibiuarters, they directed their fire upon it. Soon both entrances were blown in many of the staff, runners, were wounded and killed, and the dugout In ruins. It was felt that it was impossible that headuunrters should remain there, and it was resolved to move to a point some 500 yards back. This was effected safely under Major Classic, the colonel with the medical officer, batman and runner remaining behind till the shelling should become less intense.

With consider- able difficulty they iimnnged Io get I the colonel out of the whim carrlen I) in ards across a laid z.one of fire. After tins he Insisted on walk, lug, and supported by Iiih batman and runner he niadu his way to the regimental aid poHt, where he waited for about an hour. Thence lie made his way to the point at which tho unibuhmces meet the stretcher-bearers, ttberu he again rcHteil for a time. The shelling continued severe the officer In charge urged him not to get Into un lor horse ainiiulances are very conspicuous, and a man has better chance of escaping shells If walking, lie cm more easily take cover, but thu col-j oiiel was bytlus time cxhuusted with i loss of blood and pain. He said, "1 can't walk.

I'm all In. I'll lake a chance with the ambulance." Alas! It wus a fatal choice. A shell caught the ambulance and he was killed. Gather Remnants Together "On Tuesday, the 10th, tte gathered the remnants of the battalion together, und carried our colonel through the bhell-strlcken town to I the cemetery. Tho streets were i packed with troops of nil kinds, I pouring through, and as our little 'procession headed by the pipes, playing the "flowers of th! forest," 'passed through the winding streets, everywhere mc received the silent salutation of soldiers and officers.

We wound round the square In front of the cathedral, from whose lofty dome the llgure of the Madonna, holding aloft an Infant child, hangs out over below, as if appealing for the pity and help of tho I people passing by, and out to the old, I old cemetery. There in a new place' allotted to soldiers, near the hedge and under lofty elm trees we laid our colonel to rest. He was burled with full military honors, the general of division, Lipsett, an old and valued friend, the brigadier and his staff, many officers from other battalions, by all of whom he was held In, high esteeem for they recognized in him, a brace soldier and an able officer, and the gallant fragment of his own splendid regiment, who had come outj of the line, followed him to the ceme-i I tery. I shall not describe the funeral to you It was simple in the I'resbyterian form, but penetrated by. ileeo grief and sense of loss, and ith a note of triumph and of hope, liefore we moved off, a very touching; little ceremony took place.

One by4 ono the officers present, from General Llpsett down, came to the head of the grave and looking down upon the coffin, silently saluted and turned away many of them with tears in their eyes, some weeping as only soldiers can weep, stern yet t-nder tears, the pipes playing Txjchaber no more." That silent grave speaks louder than any bugle call forward and so we are today reorganizing, rebuilding, refilling the 43rd for another light, and another and yet another, till our cause Is victorious, then rest. "The position tho colonel held and the work he was called to do made great demand upon him We are all proud to know that he never failed. Ho measured up to the highest standard of our British army, and no more need be said. One of superior rank used words which I took down and which I asked him to verify. He said, "by Colonel Thompson's death I have lost one of my very best friends.

There was no one in the whole contingent, whom I held in' higher esteem. In his death the whole division suffered a very great loss, for such was his high sense of duty his modesty a.nd courage that his example, both as a soldier and a man, had the very rtnest effect upon all ranks In the division. His Personal Tribute "You who have known our brother longest, are best able to appreciate his worth, and to appraise his work among us in St. Stephen's and In the city of Winnipeg. Those who served with him In the army will know how good and faithful a soldier he was, how painstaking an officer.

To me alone, who havt seen him in all kind of circumstances, in civil life and in military, ho have know him as business associate, as travelling companion, church member, fellow-elder, comrade in war and officer in his regiment to me alone I may per-hups be allowed to say, comes tne right to say with fullest knowledge what sort of man he was, and with, a heart full of thankful memory that goes back over 22 years, I am able, to say that he was a faithful friend, a loyal comrade, a gallant soldier, an efficient officer, a sincere Christian and a true gentleman. "His fellow Canadians who knew him, will not willingly let die tho memory of the cheerful readiness tilth which at the call of his country, he, forsaking all he held dear in life, gave himself to the great cause lor which our Empire la In arms to-1 day. "You are all suffering with us. We are not forgetful and God la not unutvare. There is only one word for any of us Forward.

We have paid too much in blood and tears and anguish of heart, to lose ail now. A little longer, a little more, and we shall see our great cause triumph, but whether long or short, whether less or more, the path that our brothers have taken is tho only path for us. and please God, we will press It to the end." 44th Battalion Man Is Killed In Action I fcO BARNETT GOULDING Gouluing, No. 622,936, has been killed in action, recent casualty lists show. When he enlisted with the 4-lth Itattulion he lived at 122 Austin street with his brother, who is now living at 24 Martha street Says New York Sets Fashions; Blames Canadian Merchants Frivolous, munition-money mad New Vork is setting the fashions of Canadians, while Paris nml London have adopted simplicity In every, thing.

Thus spoke Dr. Hughson at Grace church Sunday night in a sermon before it large audience, on the question, "Are we drifting back to selfishness, frivolity and Dr. Hugh-son criticized Canadian manufacturers and merchants who, he said, were largely responsible for setting the present styles. i i Rush to Forward Parcels To Germany There Is a big rush to send parcels to prisoners of war In Germany, local postal officials say.

This Is accounted for by the report from Ottawa that after the ond of the month no parcels will be accepted for privates held in Germany. Whether this Is true cannot be ascertained, for no instructions to this effect have been received in Winnipeg although the announcement was made at Ottawa more than a week ago.
