Survivors of the great earthquake In Japan who arrived in Vancouver, Bri tish Columbia, about the middle of Septémber, gave graphic accounts of what they had witnessed of the awful results of the catastrophe. But in the midst of the widespread sorrow at the terrible loss of life Canadians must feel some gratification that' their fel- low countrymen and fellow citizens of the Empire were among the first to One of the despatches was to this ef- fect: . "Officers and men of the Canadian ship Empress of Australia were par- ticularly commended for their courage and calm efficiency." This also is worthy of note: "The most impressive sight of the whole experience was furnished by a British cruiser, which came racing in from God knows where, and went straight where she was most needed," declared Arthur Jackson, who is ac- companied by his wife. "We passed her while on the rescue ship bound for Kobe. She flew past us at the rate of 85 miles an hour. She missed being the first warship at the scene of the ship beating her by a narrow margin." The same old British navy, whose rescuing destroyers during the great war seemed to come suddenly from no- wheére to give their ald wherever need- ed, still rides ready, as kind and im- partial and humane as she is dauntless in the face of danger.

ORPHANED BY THE JAPANESE DISASTER Nine-months old Baby Nicoll is one of the many little British refugees who have arrived in Vancouver since the great earthquake in Japan two months ago. For 36 hours she lay without food or shelter on the Bluff at Yokohama until she was discovered by rescue parties and eventually restored to her father, H. R. Nicoll, with whom she travelled to Canada on the "Em- press of Russia." Mr. Nicoll's wife and other daughter were lost during the STOMACH TROUBLE DUE T@ THIN BLOOD It Usually Disappears When the Blood is Made Rich and Red. Thin blood is one of the most com- mon causes of stomach trouble. It affects the digestion very quickly. The glands that furnish the digestive flulde are diminished 'in their activity, the stomach muscles are weakened and there is a loss of nerve force. In this state of health nothing will more quick- ly restore the appetite, digestion and normal nutrition than good, rich, red blood. Dr. Willlams' Pink Pills act directly on the blood, making it rich and red, and this enriched blood strengthens weak nerves, stimulates tired muscles and awakens to normal activity the glands that supply the digestive fluids. This is shown by an improved appe- tite, and soon the effect of these blood, enriching pills is evident throughout the whole system. You find that what you eat does not distress you, and that you are vigorous instead of ir- ritable and listless. If your appetite is fickle; if you have any of the dis- tressing pains and symptoms of indl- gestion, you should at once take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and profit by the your blood. These pills are sold by all dealers in medicine, or you can get them by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Wil liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. BE a. Hunting by Aeroplane. An interesting aerial development has taken place in Spain, where aviat- ors have been hunting birds. The principal victim of these hunts is the great bustard, a bird found in large numbers in Southern Europe. Bustards fly in flocks of eight or ten, and the average weight of each bird is about 361b. Owing to the fact that they are ex- tremely timid and can fly very quickly, bustards have always been difficult to hunt on land; so the novel idea of shooting them from aeroplanes was hit upon Sometimes the aviators follow the birds until they drop from sheer ex- haustion, but another method Is to shoot at them from the machines as they rise from the ground. To_ hit the birds while the machine is rush'ug through the air requires considerable skill, as the hunter is hampered by the limited range of the gun, due to the many struts and wires on the aeroplane. However, many bus- tards have been shot in this way. Gracey? A gentleman was taking a class at the village school, and asked: "Can anyone give a definition of the word 'grace'?

"There are seven mistakes of life that many of us make," said a famous man to the writer; and then he gave the following list: 1. The lusion that Individual ad- vancement {s made by crushing others down. 2. The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed or cor- rected. 3. Insisting that a thing is impos- sible because we ourselves cannot ac- complish it. 4. Attempting to compel other per- sons to belleve and live as we do. b. Neglecting development and re- | finement of the mind by not acquiring the habit of reading. 6. Refusing to set aside trivial pre- ferences, in order that {mportant things may be accomplished. 7. The failure to establish the habit of saving money. Sens MONEY ORDERS. It is always safe to send a Dominion Express Money .Order. Five dollars costs three cents, ESSER Gad The Teacher Caught.
