J IONTANEWEL OY I FOE fo Toronto Man Gains Six Pounds ~Now Feels Like Has New Lease on Life. . If there is a man in Toronto Who believes in Tanlac; that man is Har- vey 'Hamilton, who resides at 475 Church streff, and is employed as fuse 'maker by the Copeland-Chatters son Company, 1303 Queen street, Mr, Hamilton has lived in Toronto eigh- teen years and is well known, : "Five years ago I had a severe at- tack of pneumonia," said Mr. Hamme ilton recently in conversation wi the Tanlac representative, "'wii reached mto a general run-down condition, and 1 have not been like myself since. I lost weight until I 'was almost a shadow. 1 felt like 1 didn't have any lite or enérgy about me and was 80 nérvous I couldn't sleep over four or five hours a night.

If anybody doubts this statement all they have to do is to ask and I'll tell them just what I tell you and that I consider it the finest medicine on earth," Tanlic, the Medicine that accom- plished' such remarkable restMs in Mr, Hamilton's case, is being sold in Kingston by A.

"| above, which | likely Teachers' Pay i# in Nova Scotia LAABLBEEBED POVVOIYIY OODLE ARALL > » & POV ITDOVVOOVV UBLIC interest requires that teaching should be made an 'attractive and honorable vo- 2 cation, This-can be done only i by making it remunperative and de- Sirable. It is not properly remun- erbtive in any case, at present. 'Ti most instances, mere pittances are paid. Therefore, in some way, teach- ers' salaries must be increased so as to bring them into more or less ae~ cord with those enjoyed in other callings. ; Unfortunately a wretchedly low standard of remuneration has been set for all 'instructors, in: church and school or ¢ollege. In consequence, the upward. movement may be slow and difficult; but it must be begun at onge. Our public is not otherwise ungenerous. It has learned to give freely during the wary and ean sure. ly be impressed with the idea that another war must be waged in per- petuity----that against Ignorance--=if the state is finally to be "saved; and 'that the necessary "'sinews" must be provided, as in all wars, if vietory is to be achieved. It may and should involve a degree of effort and sacrifice which can be felt; but what good is ever to be attained without, such effort and sacrifice? Heretofore the 'people of Nova Scotia, in the main, have been lets ting their schools exist on the mere eérumbs which fall from their tables. School rates, in the average rural section, are frequently less per head of family than the head of that family, if only a pipe smoker, ordl- narily expends on tobacco. There are municipalities in which the rate per head of the population of eon- tributions to the foreign mission funds of a single denomination some- times reach am amount in éxcess of the total annual county fund for edu- tation! Surely this is & case of supe posed charity beginning very far from home! The rate assessed annually for school purpodes in 'each county municipality was, until lately, the béggarly sum of thirty cents per head of the population. It is now, we are informed, 35 cents. Can the expres- sion to make one "look like 30 cents," that is, as mean as possible, have eome from this educational assessment? The province contributes just. $60 annually towards the support of each licensed class D teacher, $90 for each 0 and $120 for each B;: and from $150 to $180 for a few class A's, under closély restricted condi« tions, apart from class A'S or acas demics, employed in County Aea- denies 'and other secondary schools: The . County Academics receive, on their own account, preseribed snnial grants. Whatever other funds are re- Quired for the support of. schools must. be levied directly on the see- {ions 'employing teachers. And' the Sections, as we have already pointed j out, are in many éuses so small, and the taxable property so limited, that the burden of providing greatly in- greased salaries wonld be glmost uns bearable. i 7; 2 , from $60 to a year, plus the founty ¢ aging probably less than B , or a total, say, of f 3 3140 and $170 per: m ns have not more than a' dozen fate ers; some very considerably Joss. no 'addition to paying ead) possibilities of materially increas teachers' salaries, under the present system, are limited. Th 3, Let us suppose that a section of twelve ratepayers employs a grade © teacher, who will in most cases have pay a salary of '$500, or g little over $40 a month, which, in all conscience, in these times--is too low---and--uand yet is nearly double the usual amount pald-<-being less than a. ki 'maid receives, when board is taken into éonsidera- tion. How will the ratepayers of the Supposed section stand in the mat~ ter? Léaving out of account itirely all the minor charges mentioned ] 6, together may come to quité a sum, they will be liable for the $600 agreed fo be paid. They will receive towards® its payment $140 from both province and county, ly Jess rather than more, whieh will leave $360 to be levied on the | twelve ratepayers, or $30 a head at Sa ADS.

Medical authorities state that near- ly nine tenths of the cases of stom- ach trouble, indigestion, ' sourness, buriiing, gas, bloating, nausea, etc. &re due to an excess of hydrochloric agid In the stomach and not as some ieve to a lack of digestive juices. Thé delicate stomach lining is irri- tated, digestion is delayed and food sours, causing the disagreeable symip- toms which every stomach * sufferer knows 80 well. . r Artificig] digestents are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and instead get from any, druggist & few ounces of Blsurated Magnesia, and take a teaspoonful in & quarter glass of water right after eating. This sweetens the stomach, prevents the formation of excess acid, and there is no sourness, gas or pain. Bisuvated Magnesia (in powder or tablet form -- never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach, Inexpensive to take and is the most, efficient form of magnesia for stom- ach purposes. It is used by thou- sands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indigestion.

It is seldom that the term "halfway house". may. properly be applied to a bridge, but such is the ease with the giant Peace River bridge of the Edmonton and Dunvegan Railway, at Peace River, formerly Peace River Crossing, Alberta. bet 1 and for exactly the same distance navigable, Thus it Mnks all dwell- ors near the stream with civilization; for the southérn terminus is Edmon~ ton. . "But the line should be extended country," was the statement of no less a Peace River enthusiast than Perey Bholte: Douglas, ninth "Mars quegs of Queensberry, "The Alberta and Dunvegan line is the one whose bond interest pay- ments cannot be met by its western builders and whose acquisition by the Dominion is being urged at Ottawa. yg It was learned recently that the railway, with all its wonderful fu- ture possibilities, is mot in good con- dition. Although new, and indeed built only half-way to its strategic destitnation, the line is lacking in proper ballast," whifle the cars are very ramshackle. Lack of funds is sald to be the sole" difficulty, as the constructive abilities of Mr. J. D. MacArthur, the head of the company, are*not ques- guaranteed the bonds to the extent of $20,000 per mile, and is also mak- ing representations, Aside from the finanefal erisis, the urgency of the case typified by this "in the &ir"' bridge is that the commercial feasibility of oil pro- duction in the hinterland depends on northward extension of the steel. Drillers have gone In and are strik- ing oll every time. Hundreds of wettlers have also trekked in ghead of the railway, have land broken in constderable acreage and are. producifg fine grains. "It 18 a 'bit of paradise," said Lord Queensberry -in 'enthusiastic exclam- ation, 'after. describing the poesibili- ties of "the distriet. "The town' of Peace River itself t&thriving and has two weekly newspapers, each equip- ped with 'power plant and modern composing wathinery, Nearer the mountains there is gold-copper ore in which I 'have' every confidence, "The nearer to 'the - Mackenzie rigér one gets, the bettér fre the oil prospects.' he added; pointing to a copy of the Peace River Recérd which reported his activities in sending up explorers and drilling gangs, and contending 'that half of the usefulness' 'of thé wonderful bridge is lost it the line is not com- pleted. : ------ Aerial "Jitney"' In Toronto.
