SVHEN FOOD TAXES YOUR STRENGTH You Need the Tonic Treatment of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills When the food you take fails to nourish, when it causes you pain and often a feeling of extreme nausea, the cau&e is indigestion. Your stomach is too feeble to do its work and you will continue to suf fer until you strengthen your diges- tive powers. Your digestion has failed because your stomach is not receiving the pure, red blood of health to give it strength for its work. The tonic treatment of indigestion by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People succeeds by building up and enriching the blood supply, so that the feeble digestive organs are strengthened, appetite is restored and tone given the whole system. Thousands have proved this by per- sonal experience, as is shown by the following typical instance. Mrs. James Boyle, Dartmouth, N.S., says: "For years I was a sufferer from indigestion. I could not take food without feeling terrible dis- tress afterwards, and in conse- quence I was badly run down. Sometimes after eating I would take spells of dizziness with a feel- ing of numbness throughout my body, and at other times my heart would palpitate so violently that I feared I would die. Naturally I v.-as doctoring continually, but without getting better. Then my husband got me a supply of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and before long I found they were helping me, and I con- tinued to take them until I was re- stored to health. I was never in better health than I am now, and I owe it all to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." These Pills are sold by all medi- cine dealers or you can get them by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. CORSETS OF TELEGRAPH WIRE "I ,idii>" in Half Civilized Coun- tries I'se the Material. The telegraph, pioneer of electri- cal invention in all new countries, has had many remarkable experi- ences in linking up the outposts of civilization ,and nowhere more than in the still half-savage islands of Malaysia, says a writer in the Wide World Magazine. In Sumatra, for instance, the rebellious Achines took the wires to hammer into slugs for their muskets; in Celebes un- protected lengths of the early lines were torn down and improvised into fish traps, while in Dutch Borneo the white porcelain insulators gave such a striking effect as necklace beads for the dusky jungle belles that the natives still steal them whenever opportunity offers. But it has remained for the Dy- aks of Sarawak Rajah Brooke's remarkable little state in North Borneo to cap the climax by strip- ping many miles of telegraph poles of their win- in order to turn the 'latter over to their tribal "mo distes" to manufacture into "clothes" for their ladies. Long before the telegraph wire came, the principal article of trade with the Dyaks of Borneo was house wire, some of which was used for the mak- ing of bracelets and anklets, but the bulk was worked up into a remark- able corset for the women folk. The "garment," beginning a little below the waist where it taxes the bedang, a strip of cotton cloth fall- ing to ^hc knees ascends in bruad- ening spirals to the shoulders. The spirals are connected with other pieces of wire, which have the ef- fect of depriving them of all elas ticity, and rendering the contri- vance quite as rigid as its modern prototype of the enlightened Occi dent. Under foreign influence it is be- coming the custom to make these "cages," so that they may be re- moved at will, for bathing and even for sleeping, but in the remote Dyak villages this reform has not yet begun to make itself felt. There a girl, on reaching maidenhood, has a loose wire corset or fashion- able shape built upon her, and to this her figure must grow, whether it chances to he along its natural lines of expansion or not. Only extreme illness usually only the shadow of death itself gives war- rant for the removal of the galling grill, though it is also occasionally dent- in other cases. Wire is wire in Borneo, and though brass trade wire was more refulgent, and "dressy" than tele- graph wire, as long as the former cost a picul of damar or five piculs of copra for the requisite number of spirals, while a dress length of the latter could often be had at the ex- pense of a little climbing, there was no question which was going to be the more in demand. The flexibil- ity of the. telegraph strand admit- ted of a frrvat variety of treatment, and very chic effects in weaves and twist* were obtained with it that could never have been approached with the stiff brass trade wire. WHY THE CZAR MOBILIZED. And Gave Germany an Excuse for Bringing on the War. Why did Czar Nicholas of Russia mobilize his troops when Austria declared war on Servia, and thus give Germany the excuse for preci- pitating the general European war ! Nicholas II. -remembered with bit- terness the long succession o<f de- feats which Russian diplomacy, di- rected chiefly by him, has sustain- ed at the hands of the Austrian Foreign Office. The Czar, in accord- ance with the traditional tinge of Russian opinion, was convinced thac a. struggle for life or death was im- pending between Russia, as repre- senting the Slavic race, and Ger- many, as representing the Teutonic peoples. Austria-Hungary he re- garded as the advance post of the German invasion of Slavic lands. It is recalled distinctly at the Im- perial palace at Tsarskoe-Seo that in 1909, when Bussia sought to in- tervene in the Austrian annexation af Bosnia and Herzegovina, it was the appearance of the German Kais- er, "In shining armor," beside the Austrian Kaiser that frustrated the attempt to prevent the consumma- tion of the act of annexation. For the past century Russian statesmen have regarded Austria- Hungary as the chief obstacle to the success of the Russian design to obtain an open port on a southern sea, such as the port of Salonika or Constantinople. In their attempt to reach the goal the Russians have been convinced bv experience that it is inconceiv- able that Europe will permit the direct extension of Russia to the warm waters of the Adriatic or the Aegean. Therefore. Russian statea- rniit has contented) itself with in- direct method of apnroach that is, by helping some other Slavic nation, such as Servia, to acquire the -ort for which Russia has been hanker- ing. The desirability of such an ac- quisition from the Russian point of view is based upon the assumption that in the ripeness of time the small Slavic nation, so enriched, will turn over its possession, willv- nilly, to the colossus o-f the north. Therefore, when in the first Balkan war Austria compelled the relin- quishment of the Adriatic coast of Servia and Montenegro, the C'zar regarded the act as a blow, not so much at Servia as at Russia. When the Archduke Francis Fer- dinand, whom Russian statesmen regarded as the author of this re- puted plot against Russia, was as- sassinated recentlv. the comments of the Russian press, authorized by official sanction, breathed an unmis- takable sense of satisfaction at the tragic outcome of events. When Austria demanded an abject apol- ogy from Servia for the crime of Sarajevo, Czar Nicholas, who has every reason to abhor attempts up- on the lives of royal and Imperial personages, backed Servia in its un- willingness to grant full satisfac- tion to its powerful neighbor. The Czar was determined to avoid the fiasco of 1909, when Austria seized the Turkish provinces of Bos- nia and Herzegovina without so much as consulting Russia in ad- vance, and the disaster of 1912, when Vienna prevented the placing of the Adriatic ports in escrow for Russia by Servian occupation. A YEAR'S SUFFERER CURED BY "NERVILINE." No person reading this need ever ' again suffer long from Neuralgia. Nerviline will quickly cure the ! worst Neuralgia, and Mrs. G. Evans, In her strong letter written from Rus- sel post office, says: "One long year, the longest of my life, was almost en- tirely given up to treating dreadful attacks of Neuralgia. The agony I experienced during some of the bad attacks was simply unmentionable. To use remedies by the score without permanent relief was mighty discour- aging. At last I put my faith in Ner- viline; I read of the wonderful pain- subduing power it possessed and made up my mind to prove it valuable or useless. Nerviline at once eased the pain and cured the headache. Con- tinuous treatment cured me entirely, and I have ever since stayed well." Mrs. Evan's case is but one of hun- dreds that might be quoted. Nervi- line is a specific for all nerve, muscu- ' lar or joint pain. It quickly cures neuralgia, sciatica, lumbago, lame t back, neuritis and rheumatism. Forty years in use, and to-day the most widely used liniment in the Domin- ion. Don't take anything but "Ner- i viline," which any dealer anywhere can supply in large 50c. family size bottles, or in a small 25c. trial size.

His Stand Against Germany Forced Britain to Intervene. I King Albert of Belgium, whose determination to fight Germany, rather than allow his country to be used as a base of operations against France, and whose appeal to Great ' Britain to help him preserve Bel- gian neutrality and independence was the concluding factor which determined Great Britain to plunge ' into the European war, is intensely popular with his own subjects. He has none of the vices of his late uncle. King Leopold, and, in j fact, is in almost every respect the ; direct opposite of the late monarch. King Albert is the second son of i the Count of Flanders, who was | the younger brother of Leopold. i Albert's elder brother died, and as I Leopold had no son, he became the , heir to the throne, as women are debarred under the Belgian laws. i On the death of his father, several years ago, Albert inherited a large fortune. The King's full name is Albert Leopold Clement Maria Mainrad. His mother was the Princess Maria of Hohenzollern. and he was born April 8, 1875. His paternal grand- mother was a daughter of Louis 15 Hallam St.. Toronto. Oat. "About two years ago ttio dandruff bugan.

It seems almost too good to be true, the way headache, nervous- ness, insomnia, and many other obscure troubles vanish when tea and coffee are dismissed and Post- urn used as the regular table bev- erage. The reason is clear. Tea and coffee contain a poisonous drug caffeine which causes the trouble, but Postum contains only the food elements in choice hard wheat with a little molasses. An Eastern man grew enthusias- tic and wrote as follows: "Until IS months ago I used cof- fee regularly every day and suffered from headache, bitter taste in ray mouth. and indigestion ; was gloomy and irritable, had variable or absent appetite, loss of flesh, de- pressed iu spirits, etc. "I attribute these things to coffee, because, since I quit it and have drank Postum I feel better than I had for 20 years, am less suscepti- ble to cold, have gained 20 Ibs. and the symptoms have disappeared vanished before Postuui."

Queen Elizabeth, who was a Ba- varian princess, is a strikingly handsome woman. She has a long, oval face, with fine features, and' boasts of hair of a pale golden | tint that surrounds her head like an aureole. She has travelled ex- tensively with her father and mo- ther, one of her trips extending in- to the interior of Siberia. Music is a passion with her. and she is an accomplished violinist. As a horsewoman she is without fear, and is said to ride as well and gracefully as her aunt, the late Empress of Austria. A few years j ago she developed talent as a dra- ' matist and wrote a play entitled | "Romunda," which was produced in Brussels in March, 1908, causing; a stir in the Belgian capital. PROVIDING A WATER SUPPLY. Native* of the .Soudan Utilize a Hollow Tree. Surely the strangest use to which a, growing tree can be put is to turn it into a reservoir. Yet this is what the people of Korodofan, in the Soudan, do with the trees which the botanists call "Adansonia Digi- tata.' 1 The tree, which is known to the natives by the name of "Home,'' groups being called "Tebeldi," at- tains a considerable height. The trunk, which measures from 20 to 30 feet in circumference is, like HO many of the bamboo family, hollow, and the natives have dis- covered that it makes an excellent rn for storing water, for the irid season. Should the cavity not be large enough the natives scoop it out still further. The Soudanese have also a me- thod of cutting the opening for the reception of the water just at the top of the trunk, where the j branches begin, so that during tin- ' rainfall the great off-shoots of the ! tree act as gutters and guide the [ water into the trunk. At the same time pools are dug at the foot of| the tree to collect the rain, and j from these the water is transferred i to the trunk by buckets. Sometimes, though rarely, the , tree cracks under the weight of, the water, after which the trunk is ! of little use. However, the na- tives have found that cracks can be successfully stopped with cement, j and recently a number of broken-] down trees have been thus repaired. Curiously enough, the presence of large quantities of water in the i trunks in no way impairs the; growth of the trees, whose use in this way is undoubtedly an ingeni- ous solution of the water supply problem.
