I suffered so much that at last I would not dare to eat for I was afraid of dying. Five years ago, I received samples of "Fruit-a-tives" and after taking them I felt relief. Then I sent for three boxes and I kept improving until I was well. I quickly regained my lost weight--and now I eat, sleep and digest well--in a word, I am fully recovered,thanks to 'Fruit-a-tives.'

Cronic Nephritis. Sometimes the wear and tear of life shows its effects, first in the heart, spmfetimes in the arteries, and often in the kidneys, where it causes granular granular kidney, or "chronic interstitial nephritis." The stress of life tells in the spot where the individual is weakest, and in some people nature seems to have used "inferior rubber in the tubing," as a clever doctor has put it. But even where nature has used quite good material, the rush of modern modern life is likely to wear dn most of us, and it is wise to take precautions in season. Anything that can be described as "burning- the candle at both ends" is certain to put so great a strain on the vital organs that they will wear out more quickly than they should. When the kidneys begin to give way, they complain by means of such symptoms as shortness of breath, constant headaches headaches with bilious attacks, dizziness follbwing quick movement, broken sleep and irritability. When any or all these symptoms appear in a person person who has left youth behind, he should seek advice from a physician without loss of time, because much can be done not only to alleviate the symptoms, but also to lengthen life. Quite often the sufferers from this condition are people of robust physiques, physiques, with good color, and proud-- far too proud--of their hearty appetites. appetites. Overdoing is the cause of nephritis, nephritis, and overdoing with knife and fork, and especially with goblet, is one of the most dangerous forms of excess. It follows that dieting is the most important thing in the treatment. treatment. At first, the patient thinks that the physician is denying him everything he likes and urging on him everything he is indifferent to; but if he is reasonable, he will find that there are plenty of good things left; and the game of getting well is interesting interesting to play. The question of baths--a very important important one--shiuld be left to the phy- portant one--should be left to the pliy- When the patient's income will permit it, an annual course o'f medicinal baths is usually helpful, not only for the sake of the bath itself, but because life at such resorts is arranged with a view to regularity and simplicity. Worry is the worst thing possible for this disorder, and overwork is sure to prove fatal. Nevertheless, idleness is nearly as bad, and the man is fortunate who has pleasant, light occupation and some mild hobby -that keeps him outdoors during his leisure time.--Youth's Companion. 39 Showing with " Solid Roof FISHES CAN SMELL. Health Notes. An instantaneous cure for the hie- There is Safety Under This Roof Have you ever had a fine job of decorating spoiled by a leaking :? If you have, you certainly are in a position to appreciate the value of a roof that is positively water-proof. Some of the troubles common to wooden shingles to-day are that they are apt to split, warp or blow off as well as leak, soon after they are put oh. Years ago they were good, but the quality has since gradually depreciated as the available supply of suitable timber became exhausted. Brantford Slates have none of the faults of wooden shingles. They cannot rust* They do not allow raiu to be driven under them as do metal roofs. They do not require rigid supporting as do the common tile or slate roofs. On the other hand Brantford Slates afford the utmost protection with little weight, They are made on a long-fibred felt "base" which is thoroughly saturated under pressure with asphaltum or mineral .pitch; Crushed quarried slate particles are then deeply embedded embedded in the surface of this "base", making it water-tight and fireproof. Brantford Roofing Brantford Slates are made in the natural state colors of green, red, black and grey. The colors never fade and the slates do not require painting nor repairing. These slâtes are pliable and fit readily around gables and into.the angles of any roof. This means a continuous roof without seams or joints. Sparks die on Brantford Slates.

One of the articles which usually plays a fairly prominent part around the house in the spring, is the paint brush. In these days of rugs, the floors need to be kept in good condition. condition. Of course"we are not all fortunate fortunate enough to have hardwood floors in our homes. We can nevertheless, keep our floors looking nice with a little care. When using a targe rug in the centre of the floor, it is only necessary to grain the floor a few feet around the edge. This, if nicely done, looks well in any room. The kitchen and pantry are splendid splendid places in which to make good use of the paint brush. If the linoleum in the kitchen is varnished spring and fall, it will keep the colors bright and insure its wearing longer. Then there are those pantry shelves.

Odor Travels Through .Water As It Does Through, Air. A fish hasn't a nose, but it can smell. Recent experiments have proved proved this. What is more, these experiments experiments have proved that odor travels through water, just at is does through- air. Anglers have laid so much stress on the need of exciting a fish's interest interest by the look of food that the effect of scent has been overlooked. A shark will bite at a hook containing a piece of fat pork, although the pork does not look like any kind of fish that swims the sea. Why, then, should the trout be expected to be interested only in an artificial "grey hackle" ? It may be heresy in angling to suggest suggest that a "fly" should smell like a fly. These scientific experiments show how large a part smell plays in the food pursuit of fish. Bait such as small crabs was found and eaten by the fishes two or three times as rapidly rapidly when the shells were broken. Bait placed inside a gauze bag was smelt within three minutes of being lowered lowered in the water, and almost at the same time all the fishes began nibbling nibbling at the bag. When cotton was stuffed into its so-çalled "nostrils," the dogfish would seldom observe the food that came near them. If they saw other dogfish eating, those whose nostrils were stuffed would join them and take a share in the feast, but when kept to themselves they starved in the midst of plenty. chemist put this in a bottle which has a tiny brush run through the cork. coughs is to take one tablespobnful of j ^ppjy mixture to the warts twice common vinegar Take plenty of time to eat, and thereby avoid the miseries of indigestion--you indigestion--you are not always catching a train.
