The Militia Department is now in communication with Sir Arthur Currie with regard to the most satisfactory method for the return of Canada's fighting troops.

The original plan, as recommended by the Demobilization Committee and approved by Sir Robert Borden, the Minister of Militia and the Overseas Minister of Militia, was to bring the married men home first, in order of their length of service and according to occupation. The married would be followed by single men selected in the same Way. Although this method was thought to be more practical and best suited to the needs of the country, the Canadian Corps at the front has expressed a desire that at least the' fighting, units be sent home intact. The militia authorities are anxious to do everything possible to meet the wishes of the Corps, but the authorities are confronted with serious administrative difficulties, which it is hoped can be The Department is now expecting a cablegram from General Currie which may help to solve the difficulties. The Ottawa authorities are in full sympathy with the desire of the men who have seen active service, to be sent home as units, and as far as possible, will accede to their request.

The valet said that on July 17 all the members of the family were taken to the cellar of the convent, placed against the wall and shot.

The object of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food is to remove the cause of trouble by building up the system and increasing the nervous energy in the body.

Mrs. R. Hicks, Napanee, writes "About five years ago I suffered continually from nervous headache, and was almost a complete wreck, weighing only ninety-nine pounds. I could neither sleep nor eat, and could gain no relief in any way. A friend told me she thought Dr.

Chase's Nerve Food would help me, so I dubiously began a treatment of this medicine. To my surprise I very soon found that it was helping me, so I continued using it until I was quite recovered and felt like my former self. In two months my weight increased ten pounds, my headaches were relieved, my appetite improved, and I could rest well at night. I think Dr. Chase's Nerve Food an excellent medicine, as are also any of his other medicines that I have used." The persistent use of Dr.

When the nerves are exhausted almost any unusual exertion brings on nervous headache. There is such a shortage of nervous energy in the system that any unusual demand starves the brain and produces pain.

The most natural and rational way to overcome this condition is by Increasing the amount of nervous energy the system by using Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. The use of powerful drug3 to stop headaches is a most harmful and dangerous practice, because the temporary relief is LONDON TIMES ON WILHELM'S ABDICATION berger Is quoted as having said, "will be to prove that the new Government of Republican Germany is resolved to proceed ruthlessly against anyone treating prisoners contrary to the orders of those in authority or in viola tion of the laws of humanity," WILHELM H0HENZ0LLERN RETICENT IN HOLLAND Amergonen, Holland, Dec.
