TWO YEARS SUFFERING Brought on by a Severe Strain- How a Cure Was Found. Mr. Joseph Stephens, Rosemount, Out., is one of the great host who continually sound the praises of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, u,nd he has much reason to do so as th'?y brought him from suffering to health, after he had spent much money and two years of time ex- perimenting with other treatments. Mr. Stephens tells his experience as follows: "In the month of Janu- ary, 1908, while working in a log- ging camp at C'reston, B.C., I got my back injured. I suffered a great deal of pain and was almost helpless. I tried plasters, think- ing they would" help me, but they were of no use. I took several me- dicines, equally without benefit. Then I was advised to trv electri- cal treatment and did so for a time, but without getting any permanent relief, and it began to look as though I was going to be perman- ently crippled. Then I was advised to undergo treatment with a speci- alist at Spokane, Wash. After ex- amining me he said 1 was in a very bad shape and that the trouble was likely to result in Bright's disease. However, he told me that he felt sure he could cure me. At a heavy expense I was under his treatment for three months, but did not get the least benefit. I was almost in despair ; work was plentiful and wages good, but I could not work, as I was quite unable to bend. I was in this condition for about two years, when my brother, who was with me all the time, came across one of Dr. Williams' pamphlets and read of-the great work Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were doing. He urged me to try them, but I thought it would be useless to spend more money after all the o'.her treatment had failed. He insisted, however, and got a dozen boxes of the Pills and I began to take them. Before I had used half a dozen boxes I felt relief, and I ontinued taking the Pills until overy 7 ertige of the pain was gone, and I could raise my hands above my head and then bend until I could touch my toes with my fingers, something I had not been able to do for over two years. My cure was a great surprise to my comrades, and you may be sure I told them what brought it about. I am now as well and strong as any man in the country and T owe it all to Dr. Wil- 1 liams' Pink Pills."

The big Empire fancy dress ball supper which was arranged to take place at the Savoy Hotel, London, on the 23rd of May, in aid of the Middlesex Hospital, was under the immediate patronage of Prince Al- exander of Teck. Prince Alexander is the third son of the Late Duke of Teck, and has taken up the philanthropic work with which his lamented brother was so closely associated. He is deeply interested in the welfare of the Middlesex Hospital, and is ever ready to assist in charitable under- takings. Prince Alexander served in the 7th Hussars, and saw war service Prince Alexander of Teck. It's difficult [or a man to practice economy and be popular at the same time. Landlord You owe me now for four months' rent, and the first three months you paid so promptly. Tenant Yes, I know; I shouldn't have done it. "So**you want me to raise your salary?" said the stern employer. "Can you give mo but twb good reasons even why I should do so?" "Yes, sir," answered the meek em- ployee sadly. "Twins!" "How did you get that fine spring overcoat?" "I had a sure tip on a horso race." "I never knew one of those sure tips to pan out." "Neither did I, so I didn't play it. Put the money into an overcoat in- stead." in Matabcleland and South Africa. On both occasions he was mention- ed in despatches and was rewarded with the D.S.O. for gallantry dis- played during the South African campaign. In 1904 he married the Princess of Albany, and the royal couple reside at Henry III. Tower, Windsor Castle. Though only thirty-eight. Prince Alexander has crowded a deal into his life. He is a captain of the Roy- al Horse Guards, and a Knight of Justice of St. John of Jerusalem, and his amiable disposition has made him a great favorite. WOULD NOT BE WITHOUT BABY'S OWN TABLETS Once a mother has used Baby's Own Tablets sho would not be with- out them. They are the only medi- cine for little ones guaranteed by a Government analyst to be free from those opiates and other harm- ful drugs found in so-called "sooth- ing"' mixtures. ConcerninK them Mrs. J. C. Wood, Underwood, Out., says: "I have used Baby's Own Tablets for the last four years and would not be without them, as I have found them beneficial every time I have given them to my little ones." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or Ly mail at 25 cents a box from TLc Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Probably the- largest stones ever used in an building are seen in the western \v;. 1 of the great temple of Baalbek, in Syria, and the problem is still unsolved as~to the methods used in conveying them from the quarries and of placing them in position. The- quarries from which these blocks were undoubtedly cut can be seen about half a mile to the south-west of the temple. The three stones lie horizontally, and form part of the outer wall of the building. They are not on the low- est port of the masonry, but are twenty-three feet above the first row of stones. Each stone is over sixty feet long, thirteen feet high, and ten feet thick. The most won- derful block of all still lies in the quarries, for something must have occurred to stop the work of sepa- rating it completely from the roek, and the great stone has lain there for centuries awaiting completion. This stone is seventy feet long, fourteen feet high, and thirteen feet wide. The three sides and part of the fourth have been beautifully chiselled, and arc smooth and even. : Altliotith Cctlcora Soap ud Olntmrnt IN ;*old by dnwubiu and dealers CYcrrwhcre. ft liberal niiii'io ol each, with ia-pM booklet on the ran jtud treatment of tho iXln, will be BCD; pot-oe. on "Cutioun."

GOODINE USED DODD'S KID>iEY PILLS. Doctor said sho would have to undergo operation, but Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her. Central Kingsclear, York 60., N. B., May 20 (Special). "The doc- tor said I would have to undergo an operation." So said Mrs. J. V. Goodine, of this place. But she smiled as she made the remark, for all need of the dreaded operation had vanished. Mrs. Goodine used Dodd's Kidney Pills and is a well woman. Given in brief and in her own words, Mrs. Goodine's experi- ence is as follows : "I was very miserable with Kid- ney Disease and unable to do_ my own work. The doctor said I would have to undergo an operation. Af- ter using three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills I was all better and able to do my work. This state- ment is true, as you can easily prove by enquiring among my neighbors." Dodd's Kidney Pills cure the Kid- neys ; cured kidneys strain all the poisons and other causes of disease out of the blood. Thus Dodd's Kidney Pills are a natural cure for all Kidney diseases and all ills caused by diseased kidneys. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. And the louder a man talks the less it amounts to. How narrow minded most people are who argue with us ! Some people lie becanse they are too polite to tell the truth. It's surprising how many griev- ances most worthless men have. You can sometimes do a friend a favor by refusing to give him ad- vice. It doesn't take a very clever wo- man to make- a man make a fool of himself. And many a woman has lost a good friend by leading him to the matrimonial altar. When the average man has a chance to say a good word for his neighbor he is apt to go lame. It's an easy thing for a married man to understand why. aa a bache- lor, he didn't understand women. We have no hesitation in saying that Dr. J. D. Kellogg's Dysentery Cordial is without doubt the best medicine ever introduced for dysen- tery, diarrhoea, cholera and all summer complaints, sea sickness, etc. It promptly gives relief and never fails to effect a positive cure.

"What a splendid library you have 2" "Yes, indeed," he said, proudly. "The collection of a lifetime, I presume." "Exactly." "Have you read everything in it?" "Well, hardly. I don't expect ever to read all the books I have." "You don't?" "No. You see, the books I read I keep upstairs in my den. These books are all volumes that some clever agent has succeeded in con- vincing me that I ought to road." MOST PRIMITIVE RACE. Kiibus II. -iv,' Little Morn Intelli- gence than Apes. A people without any form of reli- gion, without superstition, devoid of any thought of the future state, has been found in the interior for- ests of Sumatra, according to Dr. Wilhelm Valez, the geologist of the University of Breslau, who has made extensive journeys through the island. There he found the Kubus, as he named them, who are scarcely to be distinguished from the small man- like ape of the Indo-Mayalan coun- tries. They are wanderers through the forests seeking food. They have no property. They are not hunters, hut simply collectors. They seek merely sufficient nuts, fruits and other edible growths to keep them alive. The Kubus wage verj little war- fare upon the small amount of ani- mal life in their silent and sombre land. The only notion he could get from them of a difference between a live and a dead person was that the dead do not breathe. HP infers that they are immea- surably inferior to the paleolithic man of Europe, who fashioned tools and hunted big game with his flint- tipped arrow and knife. The words they know are almost as few aa the ideas they try to express Scientific American. A Simple and Cheap Medicine. A simple, cheap and effective medi- cine is something to be desired. There is no medicine so effective a regulator of the digestive system as Parmelee's Vegetable Pills. They are simple, they are cheap, they can be got anywhere, and their beneficial action will prove their re- commendation. They are the medi- cine of the poor man and those who wish to escape doctors' bills will do well in giving them a trial. VALUATION. "Politeness cost nothing," said the ready-made philosopher.

A bear is about the last animal you would credit with being able to fish, but fish he does, and in it he displays an amount of pa-tience and skill that is amazing. He will lie quite still upon an overhanging log or bank with paw uplifted and eyes attentively scanning the water. Salmon and trout are his chief de- light, and should one come near enough to the surface he is snapped out on the bank with a flip and a twist, and vanishes in bruin's big maw. ->> Think this occrl '.-.'
