A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN .Can Be Averted By Feeding toe Starved Nerves With Rich, Red Blood , Nourish your nerves that is the only way you can overcome life's Vorsfc misery, nervous exhaustion. 4?he fits of depression and irritation, .the prostrating headaches, the weak- ness and trembling of the legs, the unsteady hand and die imperfect 'digestion that mark the victim of nerve weakness, must end in ner- vous breakdown if neglected. . Nourish your nerves by the na- tural process of filling your veins .with rich, red, health-giving blood. ^Your nerves are crying out for pure ] blood and the mission of Dr. Wil- ' Hams' Pink Pills is to make new 'rich blood. This explains why these pills have proved successful in ..so many cases of nervous disease ( that did not yield to ordinary 'treatment. For example, Mr. W. *H. Weldon, Annapolis, N.S., says: "In the strenuous life I have to . follow the drain on my system was t so 'great that my nerves became shattered, the blood impoverished " and my whole system undermined. I tried a number of so-called reme- ,dies without deriving any benefit. Finally having read so much about 'Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I decided -to try them. TIhe result was be- ,yond my expectation. I regained my energy; the blood and nerves 'were rebuilt; I lost the sense of constant tiredness I had felt and .was filled with new life and energy. TL have since used the pills with 'beneficial results in my family and -will always have a word of praise ( for them." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills from any medicine dealer or ^ by mail post paid at 50 cents a box "or six boxes for $2.50 by writing ' The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. INDIA'S POPULATION. Census Over an Area of l,fiO:j.((57 Square Miles Taken in Night. At a cost of only $675,000, and by . means of a staff numbering about two million persons, a general cen- BUS of India was taken on the night of March 10, 1911, the results of which are embodied in a large vol- ume just issued by the India Office . in London as a blue book. The difficulties of taking a cen- sus of a population numbering about 300,000,000, over an area of . 1,803,657 square miles, were enor- mous. They were especially great owing, as the report puts, it, "to . the long lines of railway, the big rivers on which boats travel some- ' times for days without coming to . the bank, the forests to whom wood- cutters reEort, often for weeks at a time, and the numerous sacred ' places, which, on occasion, attract . many thousands of pilgrims. Peo- ple had to be enumerated wherever " they were caught. In the case of railways, for instance, all persons , travelling by rail who took tickets after 7 p.m. on the night of the census were enumerated either on .the platforms or in the trains. The latter were all stopped at 6 o'clock on the following morning, in order k to include any travellers who up till then had escaped notice. In spite of this, and owing to the f vast work done preliminary, the results for the whole of India were received complete on March 19, and ^we-re issued in print the next day. 'This rapidity, as the report inen- tions with justifiable pride, "is not .approached even in the smallest 4 European states." The summary tables show that the .total population of India (including the native states) on the night men- , tioned was 315,156,396 (as against 294,361,056 ten yeas previously) ,of , whom 217,586,892 were Hindus, 666,- 647,299 were Moslems, 10,721,453 * were Buddhists, and 3,876,203 were t Christians. The literates numbered * only 18,639,578 persons, and agri- * culture claimed the labor of 224,- , 695,909 persons, as against 35.323,- 041 persons engaged in industry. Pleurisy Pains Vanish!

Nervlllno just rubbed on. lots of it, .will ease that drawn, tight feeling over your fibs, will destroy the pain, "will have you smiling and hjippy in no time. "I caught cold last week while mot- "oring," writes P. T. Mallery, from .Linden. "My chest was full of con- gestion, my throat was mighty sore, and I had the fiercest stitch lu my "side you could imagine. As a boy I was accustomed to have my mother use Nerviline for all our minor ail- ments, and remembering what confl- flence she had in Nerviline, I sent out for a bottlo at once. Between noon und eight o'clock I had a whole bottle rubbed on, and then got into a pers- Blration. under the blaukets. This <irov6 the Nerviline in good and deep, and I woke up next morning fresh as ef dollar and absolutely cured. Nervi- lljie is now always part of niy travel- ling kit, and I will never be without u:" The large 50c. family size bottle is the most economical, or you can eas- il>' get. the 25c. trial size from any dealer. SIR ADAM BECK. Rich, Handsome, a Sportsman and a Statesman. Sir Adam Beck ! The new title sounds familiar and natural right at the start; for Ontario's "Minis- ter of Power" is associated in the public mind with more than a touch of the knightlineas of the old, old days. When the people Conservatives and Liberals alike think of Atlom Beck they think of a gentleman poli- tician a broad-gauge, wise, kindly man doing things naturally on a high plane. Because he is also rich and handsome and well-dressed and a sportsman of the highest type he stands as a unique figure in the Province. He is about the nearest approach we have in Canada to a Lord Rosebery. And as a matter of fact Sir Adam has taken the great British states- man-politician for a model. He once said to an interviewer: "Like Lord Rosebery I had as a boy three great ambitions. One was to marry the most beautiful lady in Canada, an- other was to win the King's Plate, and the other was to be in politics." These were the ambitions of the son of an obscure Ontario farmer. For Sir Adam was born fifty-seven years ago, on June 20, at Baden, Waterloo County, when through all that country rough farms were just emerging from the bush. He has realized his ambitions except the King's Plate. He went to school in Gait. He made his fortune as a manufacturer of veneering and thin lumber and cigar boxes ,with fac- tories in London, Toronto, Mont- real, and Winnipeg. He is the big man of London. He has served sev- eral years as Mayor and has done many things to benefit that city. Any child in the place will tell you where to find the Beck home, with its beautiful setting of grounds and Sir A.dam Beck, K.B. trees, where he and Lady Beck lead an ideal domes-tic life. Lady Beck was Miss Crerar, a member of the wealthy and socially prominent Hamilton family. She takes a great interest in Sir Adam's hobby the owning and exhibiting of splendid horses, and both are familiar figures at the horse shows of London and New York as well as in Canada. Sir Adam Beck has represented London in the Ontario Legislature since 1902. In 1903 he was appoint- ed a commissioner to develop Nia- gara power. He became president of the Union of Municipalities in 1904, introduced the Niagara Power Bill in 1906 and has been chairman of the Hydro-Electric Commission since Juno of that year. He has been a Minister without portfolio in the Whitney Government since 1905. In politics as in business Sir Adam's German-Canadian lineage is apparent. He is a quiet but a systematic and persistent worker. The service he has given Ontario has been given at a lo<ss of much valuable time, but of course money is no longer a matter of considera- tion with him. A minister without portfolio does not get the $5,000 salary of a Ca-binet Minister. Sir Adam gets only the $1,000 indem- nity of a private member, and if he had not been a man of great wealth he could never have carried out his pet scheme as he has. They say he has sacrificed a fortune for the sake of his idea. The "Minister of Power," as he is popularly known, is not a talker. He will go a long way to avoid mak- ing a speech, which is one reason why his name is more widely known among the people than he is him- self. He leads a most temperate ami simple life," never touching liquor 'or tobacco. Perhaps this is why he looks so cle-an-cut and alert an<.l fully ten years younger than his age. <2< Employee "I would like a rise, sir. I am going to get married." Employer ''Sorry, but I'll have to reduce your salary. I am going to get married myself." <K * "Why, look here," said the mer- chant who was in need of a boy, "aren't you the same boy who was in here a week ago?" "Yes, sir," said the applicant. "I thought so. And didn't I tell vou then that I wanted an older boy V "Yes, sir. That's why I'm back. I'm old- er now." When a Woman Suffers With Chronic Backache There is Trouble Ahead. Constantly on their feet, attending to the wants of a large and exacting family, women often break down with nervous exhaustion. In the stores, factories, and on a farm are weak, ailing women, dragged down with torturing backache and bearing down pains. Such suffering isn't natural, but it's dangerous, because due to diseased kidneys. The dizziness, insomnia, deranged menses and other symptoms of kidney complaint can't cure themselves, they require the assistance of Dr. Hamil- ton's Pills which go direct to the seat of the trouble. To give vitality and power to the kidneys, to lend aid to the bladder and liver, to free the blood of poisons, probably there Is no remedy so suc- cessful as Dr. Hamilton's Pills. For all womanly irregularities their merit is well known. Because of their mild, soothing, and healing effect, Dr. Hamilton's Pills are safe, and are recommended for girls and women of all ages. 25 cents per box at all dealers.

In certain country places, espe- cially near towns in England, a new source of food is being exploited. At one stockyard after another you may see village laborers stretching fold-nets for sparrows, and the birds are being caught simply for food. They keep down the butcher's bill, says the London Globe. The number of sparrows is now immense, probably greater than it ever has been. The regular winter population in one small stockyard near London is estimated by the farmers at over 2,000. These 2,000 mouths he fills largely with his grain. The sparrows have com- pletely driven away almost all other varieties of bird except a few finches. The sparrow is said by the trap- pers to make an excellent stew, or pie, or soup. It is a clean feeder, subsisting all the year, except for a month in the spring, on grain, and it takes from the farmer an enor- mous toll. Considering the enor- mous population of sparrows it is not surprising that this source of food is being tapped. Murk Twain Again. In the course of one of his lec- ture trips Mark Twain arrived at a small town. Before dinner he went to a barber's shop to be shaved. "You're ia stranger 1" asked the barber. "Yes," Mark Twain re- plied. "This is the first time I have been here." "You choose a good time to come," the barber continued. "Mark Twain is going to read and lecture to-night. You'll go, I suppose?" "Oh, I guess so." "Have you bought your ticket?" "Not yet." "But everything is sold out. You'll have to stand." "How very annoying," Mark Twain said, with a sigh. "I never saw such luck. I always have to stand when that fellow lectures." HIT T1IE SPOT Knocked Out Tea and Coffee Ails. There's a good deal of satisfac- tion and comfort in hitting upon the right thing to rid one of the varied and constant ailments caused by 'tea and coffee drinking. "Ever since I can remember," writes one woman, "my father has been a lover of his coffee, but the continued use- of it so affected his stomach that he cuiild scarcely eat at times. "Mother had coffee-headache and dizziness, and if 1 drank coffee for breakfast I would taste it all day and usually g<> to bed with a. head- ache." (Tea is just as injurious as coffee, because both contain the drug, caffeine.) "One day father brought home a pkg. of Postum recomimended by our grocer. Mother mode it accord'- ing to directions on the box, and it just "hit the spot." It has a dark, seal-brown color, changing to gol- den brown when cream is added, and a -snappy taste similar to mild, high-grade coffee, and we found that its continued use speedily put an end to all our coffee ills. "That was at. least ten years ago, and Postum has, from that day to this, been a standing order of father's grocery bill. "When I married, my husbajid was a great coffee- drinker, altho he admitted that it hurt him. When I mentioned Postum he mid he did not like the taste of it. I told him I could make it taste all right. He smiled and said, try it. The result was a success, ihe won't have, any- thing but Postum." Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont. Read "The Hood to Wellville," in pkgs. Postum now comes in two forms : Regular Postum must be well boiled. 15c and 25c packages. Instant Postum is a soluble pow- der. Made in the cup with hot wa- ter no boiling. 30c and 50c UIM. The cost per cup of both kinds is about the same. "There's a Reason" for Pusiuni. Bold by Grocers.

Warning Against Dangers of Pto- maine Poisoning. Medical authorities are warning against ptomaine poisoning during the summer months. The common- est form of meat poisoning, caJled ptomaine, is due to eating the meat of diseased animals. It is- impos- sible to detect the poisonous bac- teria without bocterioJogical ex- amination, o\ying to the fact that they do not cause putrefaction. In the greater majority of cases cook- ing renders this meat harmless, but are cases on record where the bac- teria have survived, causing illness and death. Summer ptomaine or meat poison- ing is the most common form of the dis-ease. Owing to the increased temperature the bacteria increase ra,pidiy, and the only remedy is to exercise particular care in keeping meats. Take proper caro of the refrigerrv- tor and the refrigerator will take proper care of the meat, say health authorities. Warning is given against badly constructed ice chests. For every housewife the following "dent's" are given : Don't keep meat in the rcfrigero- tor unless it is properly iced. Don't omit to clean the refrigera- tor frequently, using a strong hot soda solution. Don't use meat unless it is abso- lutely fresh; never attempt to freshen it by wayhing with salt, soda, etc. Don't buy chopped meats or sau- Mge unless absolutely sure that it is fresh. Finally, don't buy from Uny but- cher unless sure that his meats are fresh and handled in a sanitary manner. Symptoms of ptomaine resulting from eating bad meats are given as beginning with vomit-ting, severe abd-uminal pa-ins, diarrhoea, fever and prostration, oftentimes result- ing in death. Canned foodstuffs are more uni- versally used in summer than a-t any time of the year, and especial warning is given against using them unless absolutely sure that the con- tents are good. The form of poisoning from l>ad canned goods is known as "botul- ism" or "sausage poisoning," and is vry deadly, with a mortality rate of 50 per cent. The microbes caus- ing this thrive in the absence of a.ir and multiply rapidly in canned goods, sausages, etc. Symptoms of the disease are partial or total par- aJysis. double vision, painful swal- lowing, loss of voice and interfer- ence with heart and respiration. With care in buying canned goods there is no danger of this virulent poisoning. It usually hap- pens that the steam sterilization, which is part of tho canning pro- cess, kills all microbes, but now and then, owing to carelessness or the canning machinery not working properly, a few cans will reach the market containing living microbes. These multiply and form gas, that pushes u<p die top of the can in a convex form. , Horso Ingratitude. Ho-rscs do not seem to appreciate good treatment any better than men. The horse that is well taken care of and has a. groom of his own seldom trots as- well as a livery horse that is pounded over the roads by whoever sees fit to hire him. We can take a fairly good livery horse from any of tho stables and pass any horse in town that baa pads on his legs. And what is more, a livery buggy never rattles as a family buggy does.

According to most of our books on etiquette, it is very improper to yawn ; but from the standpoint of health it is one of the best things we can do. For one thing, a yawn ventilates the lungs. When you take an ordi- nary breath the lungs are not com- pletely filled, nor are they thor- oughly emptied by 'an ordinary res- piration. There is a certain quan- tity of air left in the lungs always what physiologists call "residual air." The air in time becomes foul and affects the blood, and through the blood the nervous centres. Then at certain times certain nerves get tickled, as it were, and the result is a long-drawn-out yawn, which has the power of stretching the lungs to their fullest extent, driving out all the foul air and drawing in a supply of fresh, pure air. You will perhaps be surprised to know that yawning is beneficial to your hearing. When you give an extra big yawn you hear a cracking sound inside your head. That is due to the stretching and opening of the Eustachian tubes. These tubes -connect the ear and the back of the throat. If they are congest- ed, as happens when you 'have a bad cold in the head, you complain of deafness. If you feel inclined, to yawn by all means do so, regardless of what your book on etiquette may say. It is Nature's way of cleaning out your lungs and the air passages in your head.
