In view of , thl.?. the puzzle remains unsolved, as j to why the .stock has sold off to 31, i with liiteruatioual at around 175. The r.ivpaieut answer is that Mond and luteniational NMckel will get share ami. Bhare alike in tho new company to ; be formed, after International Nickel shares have been split 6 for 1. This wi)ul<l mean, of course, that Inter- i national shares should sell at a price: si.\ times that of Mond. While International shares are hold-] iug to-day around 175, Mond shares have been moving up gradually and went above 33 recently. If Lon- ' don interests, and they were import- ant, were not entirely fooled, there j may be something left unsaid. | Suppose' that when the basis of tho merger is announced ii w^as found that Mond shareholders would be given I'i shares in the holding com- pany for fach share held and Inter- national shareholders 1 split share. This would mean that Mond shares should have a valuation of something better than 43. The matter of a basis for the mer- ger raises another question. lb In- ternational Nickel as it stands lo-day worth t; times as much as Mond Nickel, having regard to physical as- sets, earning power net current as- sets, plant and capital, etc. The London Hunt and Country Club is widely known for the excellence of its afternoon teas.

The shaft | is now down below the 21st level, large 40-foot stations have been cut ' at the 20th and 21st levels and at the â-  present rate of progress the first stage of the present shaft sinking program 'â- . should be completed in five months, i On all the levels the zone can largely \ be looked for less than 100 feet from ' the shaft. At the 19th level the ore was 90 feet from the shaft and it is | expected that it will te about 200 1 feet on the 25th level. The 25th will be a little over 3,000 feet vertical depth. Below the 19th level a crushing sta- tion and loading facilities were pre- j pared for during shaft-sinking. It is calculated that one-third of the work of getting from the 19th to 25th level is already done. Sinking of the new shaft, 600 odd feet south of the present central shaft, is now going ahead at a good rate. The first level of this will be the 25th and the second the 30th, 3,600 feet. From the 25th level and inclined shaft is to follow the zone to the 30th, be- ing more or less a continuation of the present central shaft. Newsprint Statistics "Xewsprint production in the U.

"Newspaper advertising in 30 lead- ing cities for the first 9 months of Turning an Elephant Charge One large elephant in a rage is enough to paralyse the bravest hun- ter, but when seven of the monsters charge two lone hunters it is only a miracle that saves the men. W. S. Chadwick recites his one and only elephant charge encounter in the No- vember issue of "Field and Stream." "Then the native behind us care- lessly trod upon a rotten stick," says this article, "and at the sound the two bulls and five cows came inti line, facing us. A moment they, stood with lifted trunks searching for our scent, and then with screams of rage they started toward us. " 'Stand steady," I heard Ben say. 'Aim at the centre bull and give him all you've got! Work yowr bolt like hell!' "From behind us I heard the native call: 'Look out, master. They're going to flight' " and the sound of run- ning feet showed his effort to efface himself. "The next two minutes are rather blurred in my recollection. I felt as a beetle might in th shadow of a great boot, or a man bound to the rails in front of an express train. It seemed impossible to stop that mighty on- coming force. But I worked my rifle bolt desperately and placed shot after shot in the chest of the centre animal of the line, while beside me Ben's ex- press roared unceasingly. At perhaps thirty yards, the two centre animals â€" a young bull and a cowâ€" leaned drunkenly against the animals on" their right. The two on the outside left closed in, and like a troop of soldiers on parade they wheeled to the right into the forest, the left flank animals passing within twenty-five paces of us!"

Anaemia is simply a lack o£ blood. It is one of the most common and at the same time most dangerous trou- bles from which growing girls suffer. It is common because the blood go often becomes impoverished during development, when girls often over- work and overstudy. It is dangerous because of the stealthiness of its approach and because of its tendeucy to grow steadily worse. Every grow- ing girl should occasionally take a tonic to ward off this insidious trouble. It is because of their powerful action in rebuilding the blood that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have made a world-wide reputation. The case of Miss Claire Cullivan, Pincher Creek, Alta., amply proves the value of this mediciue. Miss Sullivan says: "Dur- ing my school days I suffered a great dc-' from thin and watery blood. I was continually weak and tired: my appetite was poor, my sleep unrefresh- iiig and I was troubled with backaches. To make matters worse I was attacked with acute appendicitis and, the oper- ation left me in a very weakened state. My mother, learning of the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, hal me take them and after using them for some time I can say the result 1 was simply wonderful, as they com- i pletely restored my health, and now when opportunity occurs I always â-  recommend these pills to weak, pale I girls suffering as 1 did." You can get the pills from your ' druggist, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., i Brockville, Ont. One of the greatest puzzles to the ', careful parent is to know just -what medicine to give the little ones. When the child falls ill with gripping pains; is seized with cold or fsver, refuses food or vomits what he has taken, when he cries a great deal and cannot get the sleep so necessary to the growing child, the parent is in a quandry. What is to be done on such occasions As often as not there is not a suitable medicine in the house.

Mistakes There are about three things a fel- low can do when he makes a mis- take. He cau resolve that he will neve"" make another, which is fine, but impracticable. He may let that mistake make a coward of him, which is foolish; or he can make up his mind that he will let it be is teacher and so profit by the experience that if the situation comes his way again, he will know- just how to meet it. There is a real wisdom in this attitude. Think it over. Each of us must decide whether he will let his mistakes remain his en-| emies or become his friends. Why - should we let a mistake, or even two or three, brake our spirit and sap our fighting strength? A lad who showed that kind of dis- position on the cricket field or on the rootball ground would never make the team. We all make mistakes, but if we let them be our teachers, coun- selling us, advising us, admonishing us. in due time we shall acquit our- selves all the better in the school of life.
