"OUR BEST FRIENS." Under this heading Russian papers are printing a letter from a Russian officer from a battlefield in Poland. Writing about the abandonment of villages by the

population, he points out that the greater, part of the country population still remains in the district. With great gratitude, lie refers to the action of the country children in bringing water to the soldiers. Ho says: "I will remember for ever the peasants' children during our battles, on September last, which I wii,m '-s(d. From early niorm.ig ive are hying in the trenches. It is very warm. \Y : cfnnot move frj-n cu< ivilies as na'd firing is progressing, it is possible t'.at the battle will bo decided finm this po'i.-l. Tile heat is trying, and .vc would {,'ive all for a drop of water, of which there is none in the vicinity, and to leave the trenches in search of it is im possible, as shells are bursting every where and any attempt would menu cer tain death. The soldiers, however, are. anxious to volunteer to bring water. [They say, 'We will make a dash for it Death can only come once. Stern orders, however, are issued, whicli prevent the undertaking. Unexpectedly we hear a small voice, 'Mister officer, can we' enter the trenches?' and the following dialogue ensues. The dialogue is written in Polish language with the Russian alphabet. 'Who is speaking,' I ask, and on looking I see some children from the nearest Polish village, barefooted, without hats, looking into the trenches with sharp, keen eyes. 'Come in quickly,' and into the trenches enter three or four small peasant children, each one carrying a crcusc with water. In reply to a question, they say that they have' come from the next village, and have only brought water. The soldiers are delimited, and are kissing the children, who are moving quickly along the trench. We understand quite well what they arc saying. 'What guns you liavc. Yesterday we saw some Hermans guns, very large, each one drawn by eigiit horses".' The water quickly disappears and the children say, 'We will bring more, come on boys.' We say, 'See how the balls are flying,' but they reply that the balls will not catch them. They take with them as many soldiers' bottles as they can. carry and are soon back again. How can we express our gratitude to these anonymous little heroes? We will give them money, but this they decline to accept, one saying, 'We do' not need it as we are close to our own homes and you ned it more than we do.' Whilst another says: 'My mother will be angry, and will want to know from whom I got the money.' And what is money in comparison to their sacrifice? Services like this can only be repaid by giving one's life, so that their broken and stricken country may regain its freedom and libertv."

YOU SHOULD BEAR IN MIND, That by using the commercial eucalyptus oil, which is now bought at Gd per lb. weight and bottled, and on account of the large profit pushed, you are exposing yourself to all the dangers to which the use of turpentine will expose you—irritation of the kidneys, intestinal tracts and mucous membrane. By insisting on the GENUINE SANDER'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, you not only avoid these pitfalls, but you have a stimulating, safe and effective medicament, the result of a special and careful manufacture. A trial will at once convince. Quality in a small dose distinguishes it from the bulky and dangerous products. Remember: SANDER'S EXTRACT embodies the result of 50 years' experience and of special study and it does as promised; It heals and cures without injuring the constitution, as the oils on the market frequently do. Therefore, protect yourself by rejecting other brands. SANDER'S EXTRACT posseses curative properties peculiarly 'ts own, and can be used with perfect bi c imputed in pounds nnd shillings, "afety internally —'ernally. e '
