Lawlor, writing from Oxbow, Sask., says: “I would he'lacking in gratitude if I did not write you and let you know of the .lwonderful good your Dr. Williams’ 'Pink Pills have done for mv daugh« :ter, Belle Lawlor. Indeed I think 1' - may safelysay that they have bean, the means of saving her life. For many years my home has been in Bruce Mines, Ont. Something over a year ago my son and daughter, then in her sixteenth year, left for gthe west. When leaving here my daughter was in the best of health, ibut in the following spring the was istrickcn with what the doctor said {was inflammatory rheumatism in its :worst form. ' After a few weeks she was able to get up, but her hands and: limbs were so swollen that she }could not dress herself. 9hr. con- ‘ltinued in this way for some time. and then a second attack, worse than the first, set in, and my son telegraphed me, as she was very glow. While I was getting ready lto make the trip of eighteen hun- «dred miles I got a second message l to come at once, as they feared she could not live. When I reached her I found her even worse than :I had expected. She was so weak and emaciated that I would not ‘Zhave known her, and she could only ispeak in a whisper. Her hands and fingers were all twisted and her ilimbs swollen to twice their natur- ,al size. The doctor had then been :attending her for two months; and ’she seemed steadily growing worse. We did not dare move her in bcd for fear of her heart giving out. She was as pale as a corpse, and her lips and face always cold. We had to fan her continually, and if we ceased even for a little while ishe would gasp for breath, and no 'one who saw her thought it pos- 'sible she could get better. She ‘suffered such pain that I used to go {out of the room and put my fingers 'in my ears to shut out her gasping and meaning. I had known before of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and as we could gradually see her sink- ing I told my son I was going to give her the Pills. He was opposed to my idea, for he thought a change in the medicine might prove fatal. However, it was finally decided to give her the Pills. In a week’s ,time she showed some improvement ‘and felt like eating. From that (time on she began to gain steadily. iGradually her hands and fingers {became straight, the swelling in the ylimbs went down, and her heart- {beats became regular, and the 'color‘ returned to her face, and isoon the cure was complete. She is now as strong and healthy as any igirl of her age, and to see her you would never thin-z she had passed through an illness from which none of her friends thought she could recover. You have my sinceres» .thanks for what Dr. Williams’rPink IPills have done for my daughter, and you may be sure I shall always .Warmly recommend them.” ’4 GASTRONO MIC CRIMES. ~â€" “Contcnt the Stomach and the Stomach Will Content You.” Nor is it enough that school girls .and boys should be. taught to cook; they should also learn how to eat. Few learn this at home. They are gusually taught to eat silently, and mat to take soup off the end of a |spoon or to put the knife into the ,mouth; but the more important art 50f mastication is ignored. It is a ,branch of physiology and should be ,taught by experts in the schools. I If it were, the next generation of {mothers and fathers would know {that it is a crime to let their chil- ‘dren swallow food, particularly milk and cereals and vegetables, before it has been kept for a while in the mouth to be mixed with sal- .iva and made digestible. If it were indelibly impressed on school-children that gluttony is a lvice which defeats its own end, ithat by eating slowly much more ,pleasure can be got from one Amouthful than by bolting a whole gplateful, that this pleasure can be [vastly increased by consciously ex- lhaling through the nose while cat- ing, and that these who eat in this Iiway will escape the pangs of indi- gestionâ€"if these truths were. im- pressed on every child mind, two- .thirds of the minor ills of mankind ,would disappear in two genera‘ tions, and most of the major mala- dies also; for the stomach is the source- of most diseases.

The. writer of these article: and the publlsber of this paper have no interests to servo in connection with this matter other than those of the reader. (By "Investct.") In the United States a very favorite investment are Railroad Equipment Bonds. The ordinary railroad mortgage bonds build the road. but they do not provide engines, freight cars. flat cars. sleepers. diners, passenger coaches, etc. For the reason .that the life of railroad equipment is short, that it is purchased in small quantities relative to the amount of money necessary to be raised to build the road itself. and that on the other hand the amount is usually too great to charge to any one year's income, it has been found convenient to provide for the equipment by a separate issue of bonds known as Railroad Equipment Bonds, and secured by the rolling stock which they are issued to purchase. ' In Canada. although quite readily pro- curable. investors have not quite rea- lized the good points of equipment bonds as a means for safe investment. and so the great majority of Canadian equip- ment securities are sold in the United States. - . The usual manner of issuing equipment bonds is to organize a separate company not part of the railroad which buys the rolling stock and sells it to the railroad for 25 per cent. down and the balance in ten equal annual installments and in- terest. of course. Moreover, the railroad contracts to replace or adequately repair any damaged cars, etc.. keep them insured and renew any worn out or lost. The company then issues bonds. secured by a mortgage on the equipment and guar- anteed abSolutely. principal and inter- est. by the railroad until the railroad has completed the payment for a certain lot of equipment. The title to it does not pass. but remains with the company (or. rather, a trustee which is usually a trust company for the convenience of arranging the mortgage). In fact, if you are interested, a careful examination of Canadian Northern Railway cars will show, usually on the end of one of the floor beams a cast iron plate bearing the inscription. “This car is the property of the Imperial Rolling Stock Company.” and also stating the series of bonds which are secured by the equipment purchase of which that particular ear formed a “The results %; oar-«isostatic b0 The report on the nutritive value of Bovril read before the Annual Meeting of the liritish Medical Association; IS attracting wide attention in the medical profession.

There is always provision. of course. that the bonds cannot be issued until the rolling stock is delivered from the mak- ers. Just this summer a large Canadian equipment issue was purchased by a bond firm and could only be put out on the market in small quantities, owing to the fact. that the construction and delivery of the equipment was delayed. â€"â€".â€"‘l‘ _.
