WOMEN'S WEAKNESS AND HEALTH PERILS Anaemia- Comes so Gratefully That the Victim Scarcely Re- alizes the Hold the Trouble Has Upon Her Until Almost in a Decline. Woman's work is nu>re wearing than man's because it lasts almost eyerj- waking hour. There is no eight or nine hour day for the breadwinner's wife, 'and often she toils under the greatest difficulty because her stren^.h is below what it should be. The woman who is indoors all diay is very O'ften care- lees about what she eats and does not keep her blood up to the miark. It becomes thin and poor, which makes her weak, headachy, tired, breathlegiS and liable to pains in tiie back and fiides, the scourge of her sex. New blood will do won- ders for the woman who is tired out. who achee all over when she rises in the tnomi-ng and fee's un- accountably depressed. She can gain new blood now, and drive away the pains and aches and tiredness if she wilil take Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. They have work- ed marvels for oblier women and will do the same for you if you are weak, tired, depressed or suffering from backaches or sideaches. Mrs. Elmer C. Taylor. Calgary. Alta.. M.ys: "I was so run down with anaemia that I could scarcely walk without aid. I was not able to leiive the house. I had no color, nio appetite, and was con6.tantly troubled witJi headaches, dizzy spells and a general disincliniation to move about or do anything. My friends did not think I would get better, and even the doctor was apprehensive. I was constantly taking medicine, but it did not do me a particle of good. One day a friend asked me if I had tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I decided to do so almoist as a forlorn hope. After 1 had used a few boxes tiiere was a decided change for the bet- ter, and people begun to ask what 1 was taking, the change was 60 noticeable. As I continued the Pills my Color came back. I could fat my meals regularly, the he<ad- aches and dizzy spells ceased, I gained in weight and took a new interest in life, my cure being oomp'.ete. I have told many ?-ickly women and girls what Ur. Wil- liams" Pink Pills did for rae and urged them to take them and shall contitiue to do so, knowing wlvat a splendid medicine they ».re." .

The Canudian F.trmor Will Benoflt By the War. Mr. Randolph Bruce, a well- known ranch-er in Western Canada, has just returned from Europe with many interesting cpinions as to the effect that the war will have on the Canadian farmer. The immense slaughter' of cattle for the artmes in the field will, he thinks, very shortly cause a great increase in the price of beef, and those farm- ers who are raising cattle will make more money even than thoee who are raising wheat at a dolilar-fifty per bushel. Every effort should be nxade to raise cattle for the market in as large quanititie.s and as quick- ly as possible. Mr. Bruce is a great believer in alfalfa as the most satis- factory food for the rapid raising of cattle for beef. In this connection it is interest- ing to note that fattening young btock is becoming very popular in the United States where the mar- ket for beef is increa.sing so rapid- ly that more study has been paid to methods of increasing produc- tion. In the early days cattle were kept on the ranges from three to five years. Experience, however, has shown that the use of thor- ough-bred bulls and the consequent improvement in the quality and maturing ability of market cattle, together with hea\-ier grain feed- ing, has made it possible to put just as much beef on the m>arket at from 13 to 20 mo^mths old. Ex- perts are of the opinion that with the Continued improvement of breed stock it will be possible to market at an even earlier date. Among the advantages of earlier finisjiing of cattle, the following are mentioned by some of the leading cattle men : Firstly, younger cattle make heavier gains of beef on a similar amouot of feed than old cattle ; Secondly, the money invest- ed is turned faster, being turned over in eighteen months, where formerly it took from three to five | years ; Thirdly, heifers under two years old sell as readily as steers j and finish more rapidly. .â- \s the census statistics prove without shadow of doubt, the value oif beef cattle in Canada is steadily increasing. In 1901 there were 3.167,7-14, valued at $54,197,341, or an average of $17.12, taking the good with the ba<l. In «11 there were 3,939.257. valued at $86.27S,- 490, or, an average of $21.90. an increase of $4.78 per head. Mr. H. S. Arkell, Assistant Live Stock Commissioner for the Dominion Government, says that never in our statistical history have prices at- tained so high a figure, either for cattle on the h^nji or for meat in the butcher shop, as to-day. Wha.t it will be next year, when the full effect of the war is felt, no one can teU. Says They are The Very Best MR. J, .4, HILL TELLS WHAT DODDS KIDNEY PILLS DID FOR UI.M. He Suffered for Four Months from Kidney Trouble but Found Quick Relief When He Used Dodd's Kidney Pillrj. Sixty-Nine Corners, Ont., May ITth (Special). â€" "I know that Dodd"8 Kidney Pills are the very best of medicines." Such is the statement made by Mr. J. A. HiU, a welJ-known resif'ent v-f this place. "I was sick for bix mcnths, ' Mr. Hill continues. ''My troubles started from a cold that seemed to settle in my back. My joints were stiff and I had cramps in my mus- cles, my appetite wa,.3 fitful and I was heavy and sleepy after meals. I had a bitter taste in my mouth and I was always tired and ner- vous. "I used four boxes of Dodd"s Kidney Pills, and the great benefit they did me is what makes rae say, 'They are the best of raedicineis.' " Dodd's Kidney Pills cure sick Kidneys, and Mr. Hill's symptoms are the symptoms of Kidney dis- ease, consequently he found quick relief in Dodd's Kidney Pills. They always cure Kidney disease.

SIN SPOTS GET STRONGER. Can Now Be Seen on Cl«»ar Days With Binoculars. Eleven years have elapsed since the last pronounced appearance of sun spots, this is now the period for their recurrence, and photo- grapibs of the sun indicate that the spots have appeared. Any one with smoked glasses or even a pair of binoculars can see the great dar^ sp<.it8 on the sun any clear day. The modern theory advanced by scientists is that these spots affect tie earth's weather, cause thunder and lightning storms, greatly re- duce the temperature and cause increaised precipitation. From photographs first takea on April 3. it is apparent, according to scientists, that the regular recur- rence of sun spots appeared at about that time and since then they have been increasing. So much cloudy weahher followed that per- fect pictures could not be taken un- til May 2. and these plates show that the sun spots have increased in area and have acted just as astro- nomers said they would. That is, the large spots become larger, then split up into sections with one large spot leading a lot of smaller ones across the face of the sun, as a mother hen lead.s her chicks. Previous observations that a lower temperature, rain and cyclo- nic disturbances result from the appearance of the sun spots every U.l years has been borne out by the weather recently. The sun revolves on its axis every twenty-five days and the sun spots are there hidden to the earth. By the tiime the surface of the sun again appears exp«.>sed to the e«.rth it is considered probable that the sp<.>ts will have been dissipated on the flaming surface of the great orb. SOLD BY AIX GOOD SHOC SCAIEIU WOBN BY EVnty MEMBER Ot THE lAMffl London Without Water. Of late the Thames has been a deal too full of water for the com- fort or convenience of the inhabit- ants of the Thames Valley. Yet there are on record several in- stances where the contrary was the case, and the people of London saw the river bed practically dry. In Stow's Annals is an account of an earthquake, which shook down many churches and houses while the River Thames "wasdryed uppe, that all London might walke over the same dry shod.' This was n the year 1158. In 1591 came an amazing ebb tide, when the river was again so low that a man might ride over 't on horseback at London Bridge. In 1687 a tremendous gale blew for thirty-six hours. The great storm blew straight down the valley of the Thames, and kept the water back, so that the bed was dry. On Sep- tember 14, 1716, the same thing hap- pened, and. according to the "Weekly Paciet," a pa4)cr of that date, people crossed the river afoot both below and above the bridge, while the sands lay so clear to view that a silver tankard, a silver but- ted sword, a gold ring, a guinea, and other long-lost articles of value were picked up. Rifle-Firing in the Dark. The activity of the sniper under cover of darkness has been respon- sible for much inventive ingen;uity with a view to facilitating rifle-fir- ing at night. Two ingenious de- vices have been perfected, one by a Glasgow staff -sergeant and the other by an Australian explorer. At night there is difficulty in direct- ing the muzzle of the rifle upon the enemy, owing to the invisibility of the ordinary foresight. To meet this, the Scottis'h musketry in- structor has fitted the ordinary ser- vice rifle with a luminous sight. No alteration in the service arm is ne- cessary, and the nigiht sight does not interfere with the ordinary front-sight for daylight ishooting. The new sight has been subjected to exacting tests, aaid has proved efficient, only four misses being re- corded out of fifty-four rounds in a trial under difficult conditions: and it has been applied to machine- guns with equaJ success. The Au.s- traldan imvention consists of a quick sight electric flashlight, which is fitted close to the muzzle by a sim- ple contrivance, the current being supplied from a small battery ear- ned in the butt, to which the .sight is connected. The light tihrows a T-shaped mark which provides an almost automatic aim, because the bullet strikes at the intersection of the two lines. The sight can be fitted to any firearm, and the flash- light can also be used for signal- ling. 4- .Method in His Reform. "He is one of those near-vege- tarians."" "What is a near- vegetarian ?"
