Is Your Back Full of Aches All Day Long? That Stab-like Pain In the Back la Sure Indication of Kidney Trouble. Mrs. Anna Eodriguei writa as follows from her home in Valencia: "For a long time I suffered with failing strength and nagging headaches. My condition grew steadily worse, my limbs became bloated and shaky, I was sallow and thin, felt rheumatic pains, dininea) and chills. I unfortunately didn't suspect my kidneys nd waa nearly dead when I discovered the true cause of my sufferings. I read eo much al,nt the wonderful health and trenftth that comes to all who use Dr. Hamilton's Pills that I felt sure th*y would help me. Such blessings at health and comfort I got from Dr. Hamilton'* Pills I can't describe. They speedily put me right, and their steady use keeps me active, energetic, strong and happy. I strongly urge others to regulate and tone their system with Or. Hamilton's Pills of Mandrake and Butternut."

English Naturalist Insists That the Ostrich Is Maligned. Speaking at a Royal Colonial So- ciety meeting, James Buckland gave some interesting details of bird habits. . That much-maligned bird, the African ostrich, was at last rescued from ignominy. The world has been mistaken all these years in thinking that it buries its head in the sand because it ie a fool believing that because it is unseeing it i unseen. On the contrary, says Mr. Buck- land, it buries its head because, when it does so, its body resembles the ant hills which surrount it, and thus it escapes observation. A most respectable bird was the Indian adjutant, and Mr. Buckland suggested that if he put up for the Athenaeum he would most certain- ly b elected. He was most severe aud correct in. his conduct, but when he danced it reminded them of nothing so much as Charley's aunt, having had a little too much at Christmas, trying to do a cake- walk. The cassowary was another mar- vellous bird. Its appetite was enormous. Mr. Buckland said that he once fetl one with bananas, but he got tired long before the bird did. They all heard the. song of The cassowary, On the plains of Timbuctoo, Who swallowed up a missionary, His beads and prayer aud hjmn- book, too. In fact, big as was the appetite of the cassowary, he, appeared to draw the line at missionaries. The lord of Australian birds, the emu, was the most shamelessly hen- pecked bird in creation. When .Mrs. Emu had laid her eggs, she left Mr. Emu to sit upon them, Xiillivantiug about, only returning now and then, to add to the num- ber. quickly stopa coufhs. cures colds, md heals tho throat and lungs. :t :: as cent*. , Knew What Was Cowing.

Savage man built nothing that can be ca-lled a road. When he waa hungry h sought food in the for- ests, or in the streams and lakes, and finally made for himself definite trails. These trails became at last the first roads. Mr. L. W. Page, in "Roads, Paths and Bridges," tells of the stone-surfaced roads found in Egypt, built thousands of years ago, of massive stone blocks, in some places ten. feet thick. It was over such a substantial road as this that the stones used in the construc- tion of the great Pyramids -were hauled. Egypt is not the only land pos- sessing relics of early road-build- ing. Babylon, the city of hanging gardens and great walls, at a very early date developed a high state of civilization, and Semiramia, its great queen, was an enthusiastic road-builder. It is at this period that we find what ia probably the first use of stone in bridge-building. The two portions of the city -were joined by a bridge across the Eu- phrates. This wonderful bridge was built of large stone blocks, joined with plates of lead. At that period, more than two thousand years before Christ, as- phalt was used instead of mortar in constructing the vast walls round the city. Commerce flourished, and great highways radiated to all th principal ities of the then known world. It is said that a highway 400 miles long, and paved with brick set in a mortar of asphaltum, connected Nineveh and Babylon. It was left to the Carthaginians to become instructors to the world in the art of road-building. Car- thage is given the credit of having demonstrated to the world the stra- tegic and economic value of im- proved roads. But for a splendid system of highways, which permit- ted an easy means of communica- tion with all parts of her domains, she never could have reached the heights she attained, either in com- merce or war. m STRENGTH. Without Overloading the Stomach. The business man, especially^ needs food in the morn^ag that -will , not overload the stoma'h, but give mental vigor for the day. Much depends on the start a man gets each day, as to how he may expect to accomplish the work on hand. He can't be alert, with a heavy, fried-meat-and-potatoes breakfast requiring a lot of vital energy in di- gesting it. A Western business man tried to find some food combination that would not overload the stomach in the morning, but that would pro- duce energy. He writes : ''For years I was vnable to find j a breakfast food that had nutrition j enough to sustain a business man without overloading his stomach, ' causing indigestion and kindred ailments. ''Being a very busy and also a very nervous man, I decided to give up breakfast altogether. But luckily I was induced to try Grape- Nuts. "Since that morning I have been a new man : can -work without tir- ing, my head is clear and my nerves strong and quiet. "I find four teaspoonfuls of; Grape-Nuts with jne of sugar and . a small quantity of cold miik, is delicious as the cereal part of the ; morning meal, and invigorates me for the day's business."

ANOTHER PROOF FROM THE WEST THAT DODO'S KIDNEY PILLS ABE A NATURAL REMEDY. For Cases of Exhaustion and Nerve Weakness How 8. Jeremy Found Relief \vhen he Cured his Kidneys. Sniatyn, Alta., March 10. (Special). That the natural remedy for exhaustion and nerve weakness is one that will give good circula- tion and pure blood carrying nutri- tion to all parts of the body, is again proved in the case of S. Jer- emy, a well-known resident of this place. "For over two years I suffered from attacks of exhaustion and nerve weakness," Mr. Jeremy states. "I tried many nerve foods and tonics but must admit that Dodd's Kidney Pills have benefit- ted me more than anything else I ever used. "I am more than grateful for what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for me." Nerve weakness and exhaustion are caused by impure blood. Im- pure blood is caused by diseased kidneys failing to strain the waste matter of the body out of the blood. The natural remedy is to I cure the kidneys. Dodd's Kidney Pills have yet to find a case of kidney disease they cannot cure. Spring Signs. It ia a happy sign of spring When one can hear a robin sing ; But it's a surer sign, some say.

Without That You Arc Unfit More la Dungrruus, Says Doctor. ''Seven hours' sleep is all that is necessary for any human being, and if obtained regularly in certain hours nightly will keep the body and mind in a healthy state," said Dr. Foertmeyer, regarded as an criminology. "Much of the disease of to-day is due to too much or too little sleep. A person who sleeps over seven hours has had too much rest, which makes the mind sluggish and the muscles lazy. On the other hand, the person who has not had suffi- cient sleep b mentally and physi- cally unfit to perform his or her duties with that snap and vim found in persons who have had the re- quired rest. "Men and women who commit crime, as a rule are long sleepers. Their minds grow weak from too much sleep and then they require the 'don't care' habit, which often results in crime. "Make it a rule to sleep (-even hours and you will be better for it, mentally, phvsicallv and financial- ly." tario. The Wentem Heal Estate Excbaugo, L.'t]<l'in. Ont.

Another instance of what seems to us the topsyturvy way of doing tilings in China is told, according j to the Washington Star, by Bishop j Lewis of Foocliow. A gentleman entered a Chinese shop to purchase tea. He found, to his amazement, that five pounds of a certain tea cost two dollars and a half, whereas ten pounds of the same brand cost seven dollars and a half. Tlie gentleman protested at these j.;.os, but the shopkeeper insisted that they were perfectly logical. As he put it : "More buy, more rich more rich, more can pay."
