WAR SAVINGS. We have to win the War; and this cannot be done without money-so much money that the help of every man, woman, and child is needed. By saving as much money as we can and lending it to the Nation, we are helping to feed and clothe our soldiers and sailors, and to supply them with guns and shells. They are giving their lives Nr us; sure- ly we can lend our money for them. After the War there may be bad times, when the money which we can save now will be very usefuL AIso.if we put off spending money on our own comforts and amuse- ments until the War is over, we shall have all the more to spend on these things after the War, when the soldiers come home and can share them with us. There is a new way by which people with small incomes can lend their savings for the War. It is very like the way of putting money into the Post Onice Sav- ings Bank. If you can save sixpence a week you can buy at any Post Omce a stamp and a special Card on which to put it. When you have nlled the card with a 1 of these sixpenny stamps, you can exchange it for a War Savings Certinoate. If you can spare lSs.6d. all at once, a certincate can of course be bought at once. You can get back at any time all that you have saved, but everyone should try to put off drawing the monep out as long as possible. The longer you lend your money, the more it will grow in value. If you lend 15/6 for a year you will get back 1,51R. If you lend 15fH for two years you will get back 16/9., and for every 15/6 that you lend for five years you wil! get back -XI. Stamps and Certificates can be obtained at any Post OSice. But there is another way of saving which will make it unnecessary for anvone to go to the Post Omce to buy a sixpenny stamp every time you want to save sixpence. Arrangements are being made in many parts of the country for the forming of War Savings Associ- ations, which will collect the savings of their members every week. The more you save and lend in this way, the more you help th&War, and the more profit you wiil get when you draw out your money. Everybody's help is needed now.

BARMOUTtI: ¡,ASKS: « WHO SENDS DEATH? (BYMlSBM.F.CAMPBELL). Dear friends, someone who read my Rrticle in this paper last wnek asked me to aoBwer the qnefitioe, "Who sende Death" Is it the God of Love? To begin with, what is death ? Is it a finish to iifo or a, beginaing of it ? It is the Sni&h of a material existence and the commencement of a spiritual one. Death is merely the process of evo!ution or change. We evotveorchange through death or the droppiog off of oar earthly body into a; spiritual condition. Our Souls aever die. Why then do onr bodies perish? Because we have not grasped the truth of how to prolong the life of our various organs. Mao has cot I yet iearot bow to govern bi8 thoughts, actions, appetite and desires, inaecor. dance with God's laws, and therefore till be does learn to control, these forces work wl'Cmglyåndaffect his wboie body. Wrong thinking aSccte the digostioa and it has brought on this war ancLtho re&u!t!n the death of our dear ones in 'the cause of Temper affects the digestive organs, causing brain diatur. bance and in fact it upsets the whole of the b!ood in the body and often excitos nervous system to auch an extent tbit, it dpstroys it and causes mental trouble or death. ? ? Want of control of the appetite brings on various diseases such as gout, dyspepsia, &o. Want of control as re- gards one's desires—take the desire for drink for instance—it causes every im- aginable trouble. It destroys the bappi. cess in the homo life; it destroys the nervous system it destroys the diges. tive organs. The proof that death is not sent by God ie that the age of life is varied- abstenious seif-controied people ae a- raie live to a. ripe old age acd tbL-n., wbian the body with its organs can do no fur- ther work the sou!" in man f@e!a the I cai! from aootber place to a higher work and God allows man becauee of bis iove for him to pass on into spiritual con- dition to enter into t higher stage of spiritual development. Asa farmer has to put bis seed into the earth away from sig.,ht,ip order to bring fortb something better and different, so we have to realize that our dear ones who leave us, no matter bow, have passed through the saoe process as the iitUe seed of drop- ping off the outer 6be!f in order to bring forth a beautiful spiritual condition.

TWICE PROVED. RESIDENTS OF BARMOUTH CANNOT HAVE DOUBT. Grateful messages from men and women who have the town's welfare at heart continue to appear in the Press. Such a message is given here, and is from a. friend who now gives a doubtc proof of the good advice previonsty given. Its earnestness lies in its neigh- bourly tone. Mr B. Roberta, who lives at the Glan- y.Dyn Temperance Hotel, near the station, has spent thirty years or moM on a merchant ship, being an officer for twenty years. He has sailed to all parts. of the world, and was shipwrecked, about twenty years ago, off the coast of Ireland, when be fortunately escaped in a lifeboat. On January 30th, 1909, Mp Roberts said:—"Some timeag& I w&ss 8uS'€riog with heavy, dragging pains iat my back, and a genera! feo!ing of lassi- tude and weariness. There were also other troubles, which together proved t& me that my kidneys were not acting properly. After trying various medicines, anel finding nothing which seemed to do me any good, I was indaoed to take :Ooao'8\ Backache Kidney Pi!!s. I am pleased to say that these pU!s did me more good than anything I bad previously used, and from that time to this I have never had any serions aigo of the .oI,)If&iO;' I beartijy recommend Doao's Pi!l8 to any- one wbo is troob!ed ae I was. (Signed) H. Roberts." On February 7tb, 1916-seven years latet'-Mr Roberta said:—"Ifeei nrst class now. There can be no doabt about Doan's Piiic being eSective, for there has been no sign of the complaint since my cure< over seven years ago." Backache, gravel, dropsical swelling urinary disorders, rbenmatic twinges, headaches, and dizzy spehs are enoagb' cause to xuspect kidney disease. Doan's Backache Kidney PiHs are solely for the kidneya and bladder, and afford health and strength to thousands. Priüe 2/9 a box, of a!i dealerø.
