When inter- viewed at her home at 194 Argyle St, Mrs. Haverstock was quite willing to talk of her peculiarly unfortunate case. "I was always ‘blue’ and depressed. felt weak, languid and utterly unfit for any work. My stomach was so disordered that I had no appetite. What deid eat disagreed. __ I suffered greatly from dizziness and sick head- ache and feared a nervous breakdown. Upon my druggist’s recommendation I used Dr. Hamilton’s Pills. “I felt better at once. Every day I In six weeks I was a well woman, cured completely after diner- ent physicians had failed to help me. It‘ is for this reason that I strongly urge sufferers with stomach or diges- tive troubles to use Dr." Hamilton's Pills." , Dr. Hamilton’s Pills strengthen the stomach. improve digestion, strength- en the nerves and restore debilitated systems to health. By cleansing the blood of long-standing impurities, by bringing the system to a high point of vigor, they effectually chase away weariness,“ depression and disease. ‘ Good for young or old, for men, for .‘lwomen, for children.

Fresh air fiends will get little ’V ii support for their propaganda in the {J ' tractions, as you views of Professor Leonard Hill. an English physiologist. ‘He main- tains that bad air is not so very bad, after all. He says it is an erroneous idea that the air of close. crowded rooms is contaminated by the 'exhalations of human beings and is impoverished of oxygen. It is the heat in a. close room that makes us feel uncomfortable. not the lack of oxygen or the sur- plus of carbonic acid in the air, ac- :cording to the professor. The only effect of an execss of- carbonic acid msup‘posed to be very poisonousâ€"is to make us breathe deeply and ven- tilate our lungs more fully. As for the loss of oxygen in a close room. “it is never diminished by more than one per cent., for the cracks, crannies and pores of the walls al- ways suffice to let fresh air in.” However that may beâ€"and a lay- man should hesitate to dispute 3. scientistâ€"it can hardly be denied that pure outdoor air tastes and smells much better than the air in even a. ventilated room. One may be as wholesome as the other, as far as its constituents are concern- ed, but most folks will ’prefer air that has not been breathed in and out too often. In the popular mind, if not in scientific fact, headaches and drowsiness are closely associ- ‘ ,ated with impure air. ..._.......-e-__......... .

Ea. great many such people. of the mission stations have steam- boat-s of their own besides. Some of the boa-ts have small din- ing-rooms; others set "tables on deck, protected from the sun by. awnings. The food is not luxuri- ous, and very little fresh meat is to be had. The fuel is wood, and every five or six hours the boat must stop to replenish the supply from a heap of cut sticks on the bank. These piles of- wood are made by natives, or by scattered traders, often where no habitation is. near; and in such cases the cap- tain pays for the wood by putting money in a boxthat tlhe trusting woo‘dsman has provided for the purpose. .Eve-ry boat carries a drum,- and as it approaches an in- habited district, the drum is beaten to tell the natives that goats, fruit. or vegetables are wanted. Some of the stopping-places are homes, \with white- people, where rubbcr and ivory are taken on board; but most of them are native villages or wood- yards, with little variety or pic- turesquenes-s. Every 'night the steamer ties up against the bank, and all the blackpassengers go to sleep on shore. But they devote most of the night to merryma-king, and keep those on the boat as wide awake as themselves. uâ€"nâ€"â€"â€"-fi‘ llost Pleasant. l‘ure linown in Cold in as Head Gives Relief in Ten Minutes. - W Every second person that you meet seems to have a sneeze and stuffed feeling in the forehead and nostrils. To cure promptly, say, in half an hour, there is nothing worth using except Catarrhozone. You inhale its balsamic vapor, and feel as if you were among the Norway pines. This is because Catarrhozone contains a heading med- icine, light as pine air, which is breathed straight into the lungs and bronchial tubes. Away goes the cold; sneezing and catarrhal cough cease, bronchial irritation stops; in short you are cured of catarrh 'by a pleas- ant,‘ simple remedy, free from seda- tives and irritants. An ideal protection for the chest, lungs, nose, and throat is the frequent use of Catarrhozone. Two months' treatment (the large size) costs $1.00, medium sizes 500.; at all dealers or the Catarrhozone 00., Buffalo, N.Y., and Kingston, Canada. W._.__. . ,bh a.

A. TERRA GOTTA~ LONG-LIVED. The Product of 1.000 Years Ago Found in India. Terra cotta, which enters promi- nently into the construction of sky- scrapers, tall buildings, apartment houses "and other structures that are classed as fireproof buildings, is probably the most lasting ma.- terial that goes into these build- ings. Terra cotta used more than a thousand years ago has been found to be in as good condition as when it left the primitive kiln. W. H. Martin, who represented the, United States Government in Calcutta in 1907, is authority for this. Mr. Martin’s statement was based on the discovery at Petleik pagoda of terracotta reliefs with Poli inscription dating back to the eleventh century A.D. The pieces illustrated the life of Buddha and the figures were as sharply outlined then as the day they were modeled. An idea. of the age of these pieces may be had from the fact that they were kilned about the time England was being conquered by the Nor- mans. It is said that the terra cot- ta has been buried in India’s mud for many centuries. This ought to be reassuring to those who think that skyscrapers will crump. 5‘ HOW THE SCRAP STARTED.
