The children were silent until Mr. Ward took up his evening paper. Burt whispered to his sister, "How many of his questions can you answer ? I can't answer any of them."

NERVOUSOULDREN Hard Study and Too Little Exercise Leads to St. Vitus Dance. There is much criticism of modern educational methods that require too much work of school children, allowing allowing them too little time for play and preventing sufficient out-of-door exercise. exercise. When the study of music or any other accomplishment, with the necessary necessary practice, is added the strain is increased. Under these conditions the blood becomes impoverished and fails to nourish the nerves. The child becomes becomes restless, and twitching of the muscles follow. Sometimes the child stumbles in walking and drops what it tries to hold. Pallor, listlessness and irritability are symptoms that early show that the blood and nerves are failing to meet the demands made upon 1 them, and that St. Vitus dance has fastened its hold upon the child. In this condition there is no tonic can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which build up the blood,, strengthen the nerves and safely help to meet the demands of the growing child. Out- of-door exercise, nourishing food, plenty of sleep with these tonic pills will cure even the most severe cases of St. Vitus dance. We offer the following following proof : "Up to the age of ten years," says Mrs. Johnson, of Hem- ford, N.S.i "my son Calvin was as healthy and rugged as any child could be. Then he began to complain that his eyes hurt him, and of pains in the head, and began to fall back in his studies at school. Then I . noticed a twitching of the muscles of his face and arms, and later his whole body seemed to be in constant motion. Our family physician was called. in and pronounced the trouble a severe attack attack of St. Vitus dance. He was under under the doctor's treatment for some three months, but did not seem to improve. improve. We had taken him from school, and were careful that nothing should excite him, but notwithstanding notwithstanding he grew worse, and the least start would bring on attacks of hysteria. This went on for some months until Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were brought to my attention, and we decided. to give him this medicine. After using a few boxes there was a noticeable improvement, and by the time he had taken nine or ten boxes he had recovered recovered his former good health. There has been no sign of a return of the trouble, and I can scarcely say how thankful we feel for the complete restoration o four son's health." - Parents who find their growing boys or girls becoming nervous should lose no time in giving them Dr. Williams'. Williams'. Pink Pills. You may ward off an attack of St. Vitus dance, or if th^ trouble has reached that stage the Pills will effect a cure.

Few more splendid tales of devotion, devotion, courage and self-sacrifice have come from Belgium than the story of the gallant work of two Englishwomen Englishwomen on behalf of the Belgian soldiers soldiers in the trenches. They are Mrs. Kurcker and Miss Chisholm, who went out to the Belgian trenches, and they have been there--the only two women allowed in the firing line of the 3rd ' Division--ever since last September. They spend their whole day in rescuing and caring for the sick and wounded, whom they them A SHORTAGE OF SHIPS. Serious Handicap on the Lumber Trade of British Columbia. It is evident from reports on trade conditions in British Colubia which have just been received by officers of the Canadian Northern Railway Company, Company, that the war in Europe was not the entire cause of the business depression, depression, from the effects of. which the people in the coast province are now recovering. Representative business business men from Vancouver and Victoria Victoria almost unanimously advance the opinion, that speculations of the boom period in real estate, account for the greater portion of their troubles. .They add that the European conflict has had the effect of complicating conditions of trade, - but contend that the slowing down of provincial commerce commerce may justly be attributed to the economies British Columbians were forced to resort to in order to meet price trouble is being sought in plan» for the organizing of a central selling -agency, similar to. that operating in the State of Washington. The mill men on the coast say that stocks of lumber all over the world are badly in need of new supplies. If from the confidence engendered by the harvesting of a good crop, building building resumes its former activity in the Prairie Provinces, and véssels are able to clear to newly developed markets markets in Great Britain, the West Indies, Indies, and the American Atlantic Coast States, they expect a business which will tax all their available facilities. In the meantime, it is shown that one mill in Vancouver is working overtime overtime on new orders, which will keep it busy for a considerable period, and other lumber men are in daily expectation expectation of orders for large quantities of building materials for reconstruction reconstruction in Europe. There are evidences that the clear spruce of British Columbia Columbia is meeting with favor for the construction of aeroplanes, and several several small supplies have been delivered. delivered. The credit situation in the Province is improving, and it seems to be the general opinion that obligations have been well met when conditions are considered. Lumbermen report that their collections are satisfactory. The weaker dealers are not in the market to any extent, and the stronger firms are able to meet demands made upon them. Export lumber is sold on a basis of cash on delivery. The Department of Agriculture for British Columbia, reports by wire that the agricultural situation is distinctly distinctly encouraging, and that weather conditions are favorable for. growth. Increases are reported in land clearing, clearing, and in the areas devoted to crops of all kinds. The profits of poultry raising have been reduced to some extent extent owing to the high price of grain, but there has been satisfactory increase increase in dairying. In small fruits there is a fair crop. The selling organizations organizations have been improved, and prices have been excellent so far. Truck farming is increasing, and the British Columbia produce is largely displacing imports from the United States. The prices for beef, pork and mutton are good and likely ta so continue. continue. There is a satisfactory increase increase in hog raising. The establishment establishment of public markets is proving very satisfactory, and is reducing the cost of living. Unskilled labor at low prices is plentiful; skilled labor is difficult to obtain, and fairly good prices are paid. The report adds that comparatively little grain will be imported imported from __the Prairie Provinces this year onj account of the larger area sown. jThe tendency appears to be for city people to exchange town properties for farm lands, and many appear to be anxious to leave the town and engage in agricultural work. A large increase in production is looked for in the next few years. -- * Controls Liquor Sales.

WiU Quickly Cure Any Sour Stomach Relieves Fullness After Meals. The British are Great Inventors, But Opportunities are Neglected. The British Empire is mobilizing its industries for the manufacture of shells at last in the tenth month of the war. When shall we mobilize our scientists? asks a British writer. The urgency of this question is emphasized emphasized by the news that the French Academy of Science is about to be placed in the closest possible touch with the French army. Officers are to inform the academy of new needs as they arise and to submit questions for solution. Thus in present present conditions wire entanglements are usually removed by a very clumsy process--using high-explosive shell to tear down their supports. It might be possible to devise some more effective effective scientific means of achieving this end. Similarly with gas. The present idea is to meet poisonous gas by the issue of respirators. It would be better and quite as practicable to neutralize the asphyxiating gas with some other gas or vapor. To give an example, chlorine fumes would be rendered harmless by soda solution sprayed. In place of choking vapor there would be a snowfall of a solid viscous substance, chlorine of sodium, or common salt. The Germans mobilized their scientists and physicists for military purposes as they mobilized their whole nation. The war is more and more becoming a matter of science. British Brain Best. The scientists have given them various kinds of asphyxiating gases and bombs charged with formaline and other choking fumes. They have turned out high explosives in gigantic quantities and of relative stability. When the allied blockade interfered with the supply of nitrates--and nitrates--and nitric acid is an essential essential ingredient in every explosive-- the German chemists produced their plant by which nitrogen was extract- "When I was* 3 working around the farm last winter, I had an attack of inflammation," writes Mr. E.

Tea is being used as the most portable portable beverage- ration in the trenches in Europe. The belligerent Governments Governments are buying immense quantities and the troops are acquiring a taste for tea that will greatly increase the future consumption.

It will be interesting to stockmen generally to know that the most extraordinary extraordinary precautions are being taken by -the Canadian National Exhibition, Exhibition, Toronto, to thoroughly disinfect disinfect all sheds and buildings to be occupied by livestock during the coming coming Fair, Aug. 28 to Sept. 13. Immediately after. the military authorities authorities had removed the last of the horses housed at the grounds over the winter, a meeting of the chairmen in charge of the different branches of the livestock department at the Exhibition Exhibition met and decided to at once seek Government co-operation in the work of disinfecting and cleansing the grounds. A large force of men have since been engaged at the work of immunizing immunizing every inch of space, in which task they are using the most thorough thorough methods. Floors, walls, ceilings, stalls and every nook and cranny that might prove a lurking or breeding- place for germs are being treated with specially prepared disinfectants of extra strength and effectiveness. Before the livestock are housed at the grounds previous to the Fair the Exhibition Board will have all buildings buildings inspected by the Veterinary General, General, who will come from Ottawa -for the purpose. The Ontario Government, Government, too, will conduct an independent independent inspection, and it will be a very elusive germ indeed that will be able to dodge this combined attack.
