â- -*:.-' NEW STRENGTH IN THE SPRING Nature Needs Aid in Making New Health-Giving Blood In the spring the system needs a tonic. To b* hiealbhy you mu&t have new blood, just as the trees must have new sap to renew their vital- ity. Nature demands it, and with- out this new blood you -will feel weak and languid. You laay have twing*>8 of rheumatism or the sharp stabbing pains of neuralgia. Often there are disfiguring pimples or eruptions on the skin. In other wuies there is merely a feeling of tiredoesis and a variable appetite. 'Any of these are signs that the Uood is out of orderâ€" that the in- door Life of winter has lessened •your vitality. What you need in ^F^ring is a tonic medicine to put you right, and in all the world of medicine there is no tonic can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills actually make new rich, red blood â€" your greatest need in spring. This new blo<xl drives out the seeds of disease and makes easily tired men, women and chil- dren bright, active and strong. Miss Edith Brousisieau, Savona, B. C, says: â€" "I was as pale as a ghast, suffered from headaches, se- vere palpitation of the heart at the ©lightest exertion. I had little or no appetite and seemed to be drift- ing into a decline. I wa.s attend- ing High School in Vancouver at the time, and the doctor advised me to stop. I did so and took his treatment for some time, but it dad not help me in the least. Upon the advice of a friend I began tak- ing Dr. Williams' Pink PMf. and in a very short time they gave me back complete health, and enabled me tc "isume my studies. I have enjoye- • the 'best of health since. Mid owe it all to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."

Every experiment added to its vaJ- ue. Denvonstratioos were given in various countries. There were other guns, too, including the Pom-po-m of South African war memory. In Switzerland his machine gun, in action against a dummy battery at a range of twelve hundred metre«, "technically killed three-quarters of the men and horses" in slightly less than one raiaut© ' Later, the German Emperor said of the Max- im, which had put its every shot in the bull's eys of a target: 'That is the gun â€" there is no other. ' The Pom-pom, by the way, interested Sir Uiraoi Maxim. >S|R HIR.VM MAXIM. A Chronie Inventor of Everything from Guns to .Mousetraps. | Sir Hiram Maxim describes him- 1 â- elf as a chronic inventor. It may . be added that he is the most prac- , tical of inventors, a man who can i use his hands ae well as bis brain. He began young. Before be was any age at all, an expert in geography, he made a simple in- rtrument which enabled him to de- teffmine latitude. At fourteen years and some months, working eight hours in the morning and an- other eight in the afternoon, he was turning out wheel-barrows â€" the best lot hie employer had seen. An- vastly Li-Hung-Qiang, who made a remark which is of considerable in- terest to-day, when war is co8tin.g so many millions. "This gun." he said, referring to the expenditure on cartridges, "fires altogether too fast for China" (650 per minutet. E.xnerinients with Powder. Meantime, Sir Hiram had turned his knowledge and his common sense to powders, and invented, for example, a sin«->keless powder, to say nothing of re -discovering in England that new and p<iwerful explosive first discovered in France and called Melinite. Next, he pa- tented a torpedo to be propelled through the air, inventing a gun to tlirow the tt>rpedo so that it would strike the water only a few feet from it.s target. Other inventions included a coffee roaster, a wheat- and-coffee, and, of course, a flying machine. CR05S, SICKLY BABIES Mrs. Chas. E. White. Waterford, N.S., writes: â€" "I have used Baby's Own Tablets for both mj" babies and find them excellent.

Thev are guaran- firer 1 lb be frank, it was a mouse- â-  te«d bv a govenunent analvst to be trap, ajid mightily ingenious. The trouble with the ordinary trap wa.s that, when it hatd caught one mouse, it could not catch another until tihe first had been taken out. Young Maxim's device would wind up like a clock, and set itself a i;reat number of time*;. Five mice formed the first catch. The trap was expensive, however, so it yield- ed place to something cheaper and even more carious. "I made one," Bir Hiram tells in his autobiogra- phy, "that required no coiled spring, the mouse himself doing all the work. His mouseship walked in, and touching the bait, shut liimseJf in ; this frightened him ; he would attempt to escape, and did f*cape into a small cage, but in free from injurious drugs. The Tab- lets are sold by medicine dealers or by maif at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock ville, Ont. MIST DISINFECT WAR ZOK. (around to be Saturated With I.inie Over Regionii .4ir«H'tod. "Seven months after the begin- ning of the retreat of the Ger- mans," says Dr. Doizy, deputy for the department of the Ardennes, "unburied dead are being discover- ed on the l>»ttlefield of the Marne. In the centre of a vdllage on the banks of the Marne, where the doing so he set the trap for the next | sanitary departanent was clearing customer, and so on." A little | away the dobris, they brought to while, and he maile the first sili- cated blackboard, presenting a bill for twenty-four siiillings and re- ceiving five ! Various Inventions. From wood Sir Hiram turned to metal. He began by cleaning brass fastings ; then he was promote<l to A lathe on rough cast-iron work. And eo to brassâ€" making valves and blow-off cocks for boilers. Next he was put to dismantling an automa- tic gas-niadhino and turning out working drawings of it. At the snnne time he was a coppersmith when necessary. Also, he painted stripes on lathes, which wa® a good deal esisier, if less e.xciting, than painting landscapes on tihe da!)h- Doards of sleighs â€" one of his earli- eet taslos. There followed such things as a patent automatic gas machine, a steam trap, a locomo- tive headlight for gas instead of odl, arc lamps, dynamo-eleetrioal ma- ohine®, and, very nearly and by ac- cident, diamonds ! Thus his pro- gress until, in August, 1881, he went to London. Very soon after he made his firftt drawing of an automatJc gun, that weapon w"hich was to develop into the world -famous Maxim. Many were sceptical. To begin with, he found he oould fire rather more than ten cajitridges a second, using a belt feed, the gun loading and firVrtg itaelf by â- Miergy derived from {ihe recoil. Still there were unbe- lievers. They were speedily si- lenced, for the wea.pon wa« proved to fire 666 sihots a rtunute ! The gun vhidh w"as its euooessor was mucih light a body that was beyond identi- fication either as German ur French. "Hundreds, if not thou«ands. o< bodies are su!>posed to be h"ing more or less subinerged in the Siaint Gond marshes where the Prussian Guard was thrown back; they had neither the time nor the means to save tho«e who fell there.'' In order to avoid the pestilential effects of warm weather on these unburied corpses. Dr. Doizy tliinks it will be necessary to expilore the entire swamp region with the aid of dogs. BoJies are also being found con- stan'ily under brush in ditches and abandoned trenches. They are found not only in ditches, trenches, and e.vcavatione miid'e by shells, tout in wells, springs, and ali the little streams of the region. In many places where it was possible for them to bury their dead they were insufficientilv covered with earth. and were frequent,ly buried in too cloise proxiaaaity to sources of water supply. These condiitions exist' over a zone 260 miles long, and from 10 to 40 miles wide, with a total of from B.OOO to 6,000 square miles of ground, a considerable part of whioh required thorough disinfec- tion to prevent the outbreak of e^ii- deanics. Besides the bodies of men there were in this zone thousands of bodies of animals, part of theim VUlcd by shell fire and many of them dead from starvation, having been abandoned Iby the fleeing popuLation, They Helped Him and nis Friend THAT IS WHY H. A. CLARK RECOMMENDS DODD'S hlD.NEV PILLS. Western Man Tells Why Dodd's Kidney PilLs Are So Pojjular on the Prairies. Homeglen, Alberta, May 3rd (Special).â€" -Just why Dodd s Kid- ney Pills are so popular on the prairies is shown by the statement of Mr. H. A. Cl-irk, a well-known resident of this place. "Since I came West." Mr. Clark states, "I was often troubled with my stomach and back. Finally I decided to try Dodd's Kidney Pills and before I hadi taken more than half a box I was so much benefitted that I recommended them to a friend. He aJso found them a benefit. I am still taking Dodd's Kidney Pills. I would not be without them.'' In new countries bad water is one of the difficulties settlers have to fight and bad water makes its first attack on the kidneys. To resist this attack the Kidneys must be stimulated and stren^hencd. In other words the Kidneys need Dodd's Kidney Pills. By giving the Kidneys the help they ne^ people get new health, and Dodd's Kidney Pills add to their popularity. Why Giai«e8 Are Called Tumblers. We call our drinking glasses tumblers. But have you ever thought how we came to use the name ? Our glasses differ a great deal from the drinking vessel to which the najne was first applied . In old- en times they were made of metal or wood, and frocn their peculiar shape seemed to have served as re- minders to "pass the bottle." They were called "tiuniblers," says one authority, because they | failed, could not be set down except on the side when empty. Another author- ity contends they derived their name from their original sh.ape. ruunded at the^ttom, so that they tumbled over unless they were care- fully set down. flow a Sick Woman Can Rcirain Healtli SEED POTATOES.

Whenever business has called me to a city or town where I could get in touch with local automobile con- ditions in the last year or two I have been struck by the interest of the prospective buyer in the me- chanism of the car he is inspecting, says a representative of a large automobile concern. This, con- trary to the pretty general beUef that cars are bought on size and look-s only. It is this eager desire for exact knowledge which had the largest influence in causing us to prepare a seritfs of advertisementfi dealing with the mechanical fea- tures of our cars. We decided to use these advertisement* in news- papers because we regard them as the medium chat is immediately re- sponsive . The time has gone by when an automobile ie purchased merely be- cause it is good looking. Once on a time the man about to buy an automobile looked onJy at the lines of the hood, to-day be is vitally and intelligentlv interested in what lies under the hood. Since the work of the advertising department is to tell the public what it wants to know and what it should '..now about automobiles in order to purchase intelligently, naturally we are keen to get our storj- as quickly as pof^ible to the public. Having decided to give what one might caJl an educa»tion in the mechanical features of our car, we are using the newspapers because w^e can keep our hands on the pulse of the public interest and amplify any of these talks almost in a day if we find there are reasons for doing so because of local con- ditions in any part of the country. In these mechanical advertise- ments we ha\-e a comprehensive guide to the machine.
