Macklin, Sask., Jan. 13 (Special). -â€"Thosc who suffer from sleepless nights and get up in the morning feeling tired and discouraged will find renewed hope in the statement made by Fred Swanson of this pllace. He could not sleep at- nights. (2 discovered the cause. It was Kidney trouble. He discovered the cure. It is Dodd’s Kidney Pills. “Yes,” Mr. Swanson says in an. Interview regarding his case, “I was troubled with my Kidneys for over a year, so bad that I could not sleep at nights. After using one box of Dodd’s Kidney Pills I found great relief. Four boxes removed all my pain and now I sleep well and I am as strong in my Kidneys as any man.”- " If the Kidney-s are wrong the blood becomes clogged with impuriâ€" ties and natural rest is an impossi- . bility. Strong, healthy Kidneys mean pure blood, new life all over the body and that delightful rest that is the sweetest thing in life. Dcdd’s Kidney Pills always make. strong, healthy Kidneys. fileâ€".â€" MUSICAL LEGS AND WINGS. s..â€" How Ifatydids Fiddle and Seven- teen-Year Locusts Drum. Many of the little folks of field and forest have fine musical instru- ments and play them night and day for three or four months of the year. The long-horned grasshopâ€" per, or true ka-tydid, is the leader bf the band. He has two sets of wings, the change. Queen Alexandr' . ____________.___, errant lover, who also held a do- mestic position in the Palace. After a kindly and tactful homily, Queen Alexandra, with humorous tact, sent the young man also to Sand- ringham. Very shortly thereafter the couple returned to town, and there was a wedding sequel, with the Royal blessing. ' ~_- L14 Had Pains in Back, ‘ Side, and Chest off to Sandringharn for a.

Veins on each wing rub together it .__ makes a. funny little wiry sound, nd that is what is called “grass- oppcr’s fiddling.” ‘ i Our common little green grassâ€" . hopper is another fine player. His . fiddle is attached to one wing, and ' he uses his hind leg for a bow. On this leg is a line of little beadlikc lumps, from each of which grow a 3 ~ number of fine hairs. When Mr. ’ {Grasshopper draws this log back and forth over his wings his love ; Bong-s thrill out on the summer air. I His poor little mate tries hard to ‘:~ {make the same kind of music; she .goes through the same motions, but can never produce a single sound. :1... She never grows discouraged, but " keeps it up night and day, and I suppose her lover takes the will for the deed and loves her just the same. ,3 ' Another first-class fiddler is the cricket. His tune is loud and . shrill; One time by night, one by day, is his rule. He has even been f known to change his note when the ' clouds darkened the sun for a 4:. while in the day. Some insects 'beat little drums when they want to make music. I The seventeen-year locust has two tiny drums fastened to his ab- , domen.‘ They are fixed firm and "' tight, and to each one is attached» a strong muscle which. the insect can tighten or relax at will. It makes a sound something like beat- ing on a tin pan and will drown out every other musical note of the summer day. Another queer player is the d-ea.thÂ¥wastch beetle. He burrows into old wood, and makes a tapâ€"tap- -.- tap as he pushes along. L : The-longicorn beetle produces a ‘ .rattling sound by the friction of his scaly neck. Many'others of our fairyâ€"like friends have musical ar- rau cments that make us think of fldd es. In fact the violinS'of our own use were probably suggested by these little fiddlers of nature. ’I‘ Painful .

Though few have heard of it, there is an English pipe smoking champions-hip, though meetings do not seem to be held regularly. The last contest was held at a hall in Holborn two years ago. when a new English record was set up for the length of time a pipe could be made to last. In these contests ex- actly one-eighth of an ounce is weighed out by the judge, the use of adultcrants being strictly for~ hidden. The winner, a barber from Southampton, who had won the me- dal twice previous, coaxed his pipe into delaying its final pufi till two hours and ten minutes had elapsed from the time it was lit. These smoking contests are very popular in Belgium and Holland. ‘ Ska: something terrible,” said the young man, as he paid the third install- ment on the engagement ring.

Meat is still going up in price, but this fact need not worry house- WIves much longer, for a new food product has been discovered by some agricultural ' experts, says Pearson’s Weekly. This new product, which it is claimed will help to solve the ques- tion of the increasing cost of living, is a fruit t-ree called the Avocado, growing in Mexico. " The fruit of the tree is pear- shapcd, but the queer part about it is that it is composed of the subâ€" stances which arc to be found in meat. It contains about 20 per cent. of fat and many other ingredients of great food value, and it is said that one good-sized “meat” pear ‘is quite sufllcientto make a meal for the average man. Some experts have grown quite enthusiastic about it ; it is far su- perior to the banana, they say, and is, in fact, “the most valuable fruit known.’ ' ' The natives of Mexico live almost entirely on the Avocado, and it is hoped that with aâ€"sufficien-t supply of the trees the world could do away with meat entirely. If this does happen how vegetar- ians will welcome itl . The reason why the fruit is so little known at present is because it is grown nowhere on a large scale, what few tree-s there are grow round the huts of the natives, where they flourish with little care, and afford easy meals for the indo- le-nrt owners.
