THE HALF-SPEED MAN AND WOMAN What It Meana When YDU "All Out of Sorts." You know what it means, to feel '"all out of sorts." Most people have felt this way at some time. Nerves out of order, irritable, lan- guid, depressed. An aching head, a fagged brain, appetite bad and digestion w.aak. With some people this condition comes and goes ; with others it is chronic; they can't shake it off. It interferes with business, spoils recreation and robs life of all its joys. These men and women are only able- to live and work at "half speed." Half-speed people have lost that abundant natural vitality which enables others to go "full-spsed- ahead" through life. Their energy and nerve power have evaporated they cannot work long without breaking down. The trouble is nerve weakness and is caused by poor, watery blood. You can be- gin to improve your condition to- day by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They make rich, red blood once more pulsate through your veins, and your nerves thrill with fresh vigor. Here is convincing evidence that new strength and full health can be had through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mr. Newton Mayhew, North Tryon, P.E.I., .Bays: "I am a farmer and naturally have to -work very hard. The result was that I found myself very much run down. My blood became thin and -watery, and my muscles flabby. I took doctors' treatment but it did not help me and I grew so weak that I could scarcely work at aH. As I found the medical treatment waa not helping me I decided to try "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and in these I found the medicine I needed, as in a short time I was restored to my old health and vigor. I shall always recommend these pills to all sufferers." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all medicine dealers, or will be mailed, post free, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by Tho Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. TO BUILD TURKISH NAVY. Big Contract Placed for Thirty Years With British Firm. The material efficiency of Tur- key's navy will be for thirty years 'almost entirely in British hands. The Ottoman Government has re- cently placed a contract to continue | for three decades with Armstrong and Vickers, a British firm, and which has taken over the Turkish I arsenal and naval station and will i resume control of both repairs and construction. This is one of the many instances hi which British firms are helping iu building up the navies of otli'-r countries. While busy with British orders, the shipbuilding and arma- ment firms in England are also as- sisting South American Republics, Russia, Spain and Greece. The Turkish reconstruction is probably the biggest undertaking, ince it is wholly in British hands. :A new naval base is to be establish- d~at Isinidt, about sixty miles from Constantinople on the Asiatic ' ehore of the Gulf of Marmora. For j BOO years it was the site of Turkey's ' Arsenal and dock yards, but was abandoned in 1879, owing to the harbor silting up. It will take a dozen years to restore the harbor and bring -it up to the standard of a modern naval base. However, it is the intention to build here a construction plant capable of "building modern battleships. In the meantime, the present Turkish navy, so badly treated by 'the Greeks in the recent war, is to be overhauled in the arsenal at the Golden Horn. A staff of English- men to superintend the work is al- ;ready in Constantinople, and al- though it is proposed to use Turkish labor and material as much as pos- sible, much will come from Eng- land. The board of administration will consist of five Englishmen and four Turks, the latter appointed by .the Ottoman Government. Besides 'naval work the company expects to do considerable repair work for the mercantile marine visiting Turkish waters. One of the terms of the contract was that the firm was to secure for Turkey a loan of $5,000,000 on fav- orable terms. This has already been secured, but it is not stated for what the money is to be used. Ine Porte needs a lot of money for the reorganization of the army, winch is again to be undertaken by Ger : mans, despite the adverse criticism of the army trained by them in the battles in "Thrace, but it is likely German brinks will lend money for this. The English money may, therefore, go in part payment for the battleship Rio de Janeiro, built by Armstrong and Vickers for the Brazilian Government, and for which Greece and Turkey have been competitors.

The interesting problem was rais- ed by one of the French reviews recently, what would happen if gold were produced in such enormous quantities as to sink in value to th ? level of the baser metals. The three contingencies discussed -were the extraction of gold from sea wa- ter, which was dismissed as too ex- pensive to be attainable ; the in- crease from existing mines, which would be negligible from the sensa- tional standpoint of the argument ; and the probability of the produc- tion of gold by chemical means. It was the third means of produc- tion which was treated as seriously as the nature of the subject permit- ted, and it was declared that in re- lying upon the recent progress of experimental physics and of chemi- cal synthesis, the possibility of the transmutation of the metals could no longer be considered a simile chimera and might become a reality of to-morrow or the day after to- morrow. All these experiments, however, rest ultimately upon gold. If gold became dross, it would be necessary either to find a substitute metal possessing similar qualities, or to reorganize the existing monetary systems of the commercial nations. The latter is not beyond the reach of sane discussion and of definite proposals. Its essential defect would lie in the absence of power to enforce international agreements in case of financial weakness offered strong inducements for their viola- tion. The romantic dream of the sud- den dethronement of gold from its place as the standard metal would be controlled, to begin with, by the cost of the processes of produc- tion of artificial gold. The mere discovery that gold could be pro- duced by chemical processes would not solve the problem. Unless it could be produced in large quanti- ties at a cost materially below the | cost of quartz-mining in South Africa, the new process would re- main only an interesting toy. PEARLS OP TRUTH. And the Kingdom of Heaven is of the child-like, of those who are eaay to please, who love and who give pleasure. -R. L>. Stevenson.

Wealth is honorable, and may be used most blessedly when men re- gard, themselves as being what in- deed they are stewards of it, and not the owners. Farrer. Money is the last enemy that shall never be subdued. While there is flesh there is money or the want of money ; but money is always on the brain so long as there is a brain in reasonable order. Samuel Butler. Clergymen and gardeners have, on the whole, the longest and most healthy lives. It is due in each case to the fact that both clergy- man and gardeners live the most perfect mental, moral and physical lives. John Burns. The greatest vocation of all for women must ever be the home, and to recognize that home depends on woman, and that the cultivated wo- man exalts its influence was to put our value of women's education on the right lines.

It has been said by a physician that most diseases are the result of indigestion. There's undoubtedly much truth in the statement, even to the cause of many unsightly eruptions, which many suppose can be removed by applying some remedy on the out- side. By changnig her food a Western girl was relieved of n eczema which was a great annoyance to her. She writes : "For five months I was suffering with an eruption on my face and hands which our doctor called ec- zema, and which caused me a great deal of inconvenience. Tho suffer- ing was almost unbearable. "Tho medicine I took only gave me temporary relief. One day 1 happened to read somewhere that eczema was caused by indigestion. Then I read that many persona had been relieved of indigestion by eat- ing Grape-Nuts. "I decided to try it. I liked the taste of the food and was particu- larly pleased to no-lice that my di- gestion was improving and that the eruption was disappearing as if by magic. I had at last found, in this great food, something that reached my trouble. "\Vhen I find a victim of this afliiciion I remember my own for- mer suffering and advise a trial of Grape-Nuts food instead of medi- cines." Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, *Ont.

On the even- ing of tho party when all the small guests had arrived except Peter, the mother became suspicious and sought her son. "Bobby," she said, "did you in- vite Peter to your party to-night?" "Of course I did, mother?" "And did he say he would come?" "No," replied Bobby. "I invit- ed him to come all right, but I dar- ed him to." Good-Bye, Old Backache, Mine Will Fix You!

Mr. Kitchens Says It Is Iu Truth a City of Dreams. Damascus, witli its ancient sac- red associations, its 48 mosques, the tomb of Salu-din, and its clus- ters of houses, hidden* in its world- famous roses and jasmine, is in truth a city of dreams. "Why is it so fascinating V asks Mr. Kitchens. "Why will it be for ever a delicious memory in my mind? I can scarcely tell. Two young Arab boys lean on the edge of the basin dreamily listening to the fountain, and casting sprays of jasmine upon the surface of the wa- ter. The guardian draws slowly at his narghile, as lie squats on the sofa with his legs tucked under him. A blue pigeon Hits under the white arch. "The noise of the city, in the heart of which \ve are, does not penetrate to this piao. We hear only the fountain. Who dwells in those shuttered houses, behind the fretwork of wood, behind the climb- hig flowers ? I shall never know. No voice drops down from them, no eyes peep out. We arc 1 in a hermit- age, deep surely in old Damascus, where the feet of Abraham trod." TO FBIGHTEN BUHGLAB8. Powder Which Explodes When Trodden Upon. Here is a most ingenious method of making a house burglar-proof. It is the idea of a French chemist, who submitted it to the laboratory of La Nature, where it was tested and found to work according to specification. It consists in sprink- ling upon the floor of the hall or vestibule a. powder that will ex- plode as soon as it is stepped upon, even if the intruder be shod with felt, A very little powdered iodine is dusted over the floor. Ammonia is sprinkled over it in quantity suffi- cient to moisten the powder. This evaporates quickly and leaves a new substance, iodine nitrate, which will explode or detonate at the slightest touch. A rat running across the floor will set up a aeries of tiny explosions that will scare it into seven fits. A burglar treading on it will think he is walking over bunches of firecrackers. The noise will arouse tho house. This novel burglar preventative should not be used on parquet Hours, as it may injure them, but it is ideal for use upon stone, con- crete or tiled floors.

A tragic story was told at Ply- mouth by the passengers who land- ed from the AVesfc African mail steamer Appam, concerning the death of a former Plyraouthian, Lieut. Gerald Arthur Edwin Denny, of the Connaught Rangers. Ho was coining home on sick leave, and would have been married during his stay in England. He was a passenger on the Ap- pam from Forcados, and on arrival at Lagos Roods, C. Partridge, a dis- trict commander, decided to go ashore to pay his respects to the Governor. Lieut. Denny availed himself of the opportunity of go- ing ashore as well. The Government steam lifeboat came off to the liner, but on her way to the shore was swamped on the bar. Capt. Wilcox, who was in charge of the boat, was washed in and out of the lifeboat twice, and Mr. Partridge was rescued in an almost unconscious condition by a native. Mr. Denny was seen about twenty yards away struggling in the water, but he disappeared before anyone could reach him. It is feared that a shark seized him, as the waters are infested with them. The body was not recovered. i'tl Territory. "I made a lucky discovery to- day,' 1 said the first phvsician. "That so?" "Yen, I discovered a patient that has never been operated on for anything."
