I have been a great sufferer from those troubles that make thelife of so many women an almost constant misery. Pains in the back and side racked and tortured me. My nerves seemed to give out, and at times I could do no house work, and only women who have similarly suffered know what I endured. I tried medicine after medicine without any benefit, and was finally per- suaded to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Soon after starting the pills I found an improvement, and as I continued their use my health and strength returned, and I now feel as well as ever I did in my life, and I am relating my experience merely in the hope that it may lead some. other suffering woman to renewed health. I may add that my mother suffered from rheumatism so badly that she had to use a crutch, and Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills oomplete~ ly restored her-“co her usual good health. Always get the genuine pills with the full name “Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People,” on the wrapper around each box.

Undoubtedly the ancient sand- ~glass, apart from marking the course of time, has served many other purposes. The purpose for ,which it is most utilized today is to time the boiling of eggs. A big fisurgeon, however, has discovered a far more vital use for the article. It was found that some of the younger surgeons of the hospital at which he operated were a trifle lax in the matter of thoroughly cleans- ing their hands before operations. The regulations prescribe four pro- cesses of five minutes each, but rarely was this rule strictly adhered to, the excuse being that it was dificult to estimate the time. The great surgeon settled the matter iby installing a sand-glass 'over each lwash-basin. For five minutes the surgeon now washes his hands with soap and hot water, and then cleanses his nails. The sand-glass is turned, and another washing with soap and hot water follows. An- other turn, whilst the hands are washed in alcohol; and, for the last five minutes the hands go through another sterilization. Over all the islandâ€"glass standspl as arbiter. When an active mind is deprived of play and exercise the tedium of living soon becomes insupporta-ble; no bodily pleasure makes up for the lack of mental stimulus. Crammlng dowri' ill-chosen food, and rushing back to work, leads straight to dys- pepsia, with all it means in misery. Proper habits of eating. with a Naâ€"Dru-Co Dys- pepsia Tablet after each, meal, restore good diges- tion, health and happiness.

The Ice Harvest. int 15 with ood reason that we 'po _ toxgur harvesfis as the basis of our p'xi-o- sperlty. But there are harvests chug:- ter'as Well as harvests of summer. In: cording to our’present standards of ‘- ing‘. ice is hardly less a necessity fibrin wheat or potatoes. It is essentla 0 health and comfort. Without its con: serving influence there would be enoxm ous waste and probable shortage in Eh!!! various provision staples upon when we do end. Thlspseason ice is a bumper crop. All over the North it has formed in exec - lent quality and almost limitless quan- tity. Moreover. the conditions have been unusually favorable for harvest- ing. There can be no 1excuse for a shoxt su pl or for high pr ces. thfilniless is from ten to fourteen inches and it has formed in a. way to make it clear and solid. The snow is but a slight obstruction to gathering and in Ice is an important factor in the well-being and being came. year's well-doing and we may felicltato ourselves upon unusually well provided for. Another Grain of Wheat. We are told that away back in the antiquity of Egypt, which first raised wheat, is stalk grew only two grains and these were as small as hayseed. But since those days the heads and the grains have» been getting much larger. This is largely due to care and cul- ture. One more grain to the head of wheat would ~add much to the re- source and glory of the country. And it canbe done and will some day when money and business lose their thrones in the hearts of men and peace and plenty-take their places. This re source is in the ground awaiting the magic touch by which every man. wo- man and child in-the‘ country will have a half-bushel more wheat than they now get. . . - . .1 The Panama. Canal Tolls. President Wilson and the Senate foreign relations committee of the United States appear to have been dis- cussing the question of the Panama tolls. It lsasserted that President “711- son is in favor of the British contention that to exempt United States coastwme traffic will discriminate against foreign Vessels, British or others. and thus will be a direct violation of the‘Hay-Pauncc- fete treaty, which expressly states that "the canal shall be free and open to the vessels of commerce and of war .of all nations on terms of entire equality_so that there shall be no discrimination against any such nation or its citizens or subjects in respect of the conditions or charges of traffic or otherwrse." Over this clause a good deal of feeling has been aroused by those in the _Un1ted States who are anxious to twrst the lion‘s tall, as the pastime ,is popularly called, on every possible occasion. It was argued. and the argument was backs ed up in high places, that the clause did not include the United States in the meaning of "all nations.” It was said that the object of the clause was really to except the United States from its operation and that the words “except the United States" should have been inserted after "all nations." Sir Edward Grey .on behalf of Great Britain, acting for all the other nations, protested and there was a hot discus- sion in the Senate. Sir Edward Grey later suggested arbitration, but this was also refused as the canal tolls were said to be a domestic concern of the United States, and that therefore arbi- tration would infringe the sovereign rights of the people. It was obvious from the first that Sir Edward Grey would await the inaugu- ration of President \Vllson before press- ing the matter any further. As soon as the newpresldent would find it conveni- ent to take the matter up again Sir Ed- ward was ready. Apparently President \Vllson is now ready. There is no hurry. but at the same time it mightbe well to get the matter out of the way. It is almost certain that President Wil- son will take the attitude adopted by Senator Root on the question, and “re- fuse to sacrifice the honor and good name of the United States” for the sake of its coastwlse shipping. Banlsliment of Rebels. The penalty of banishment for rebel- llon is old, yet as imposed by the South African government it is surprisingly new. Granting that the Johannesburg labor leaders did rebel, that their move- ment was really revolutionary, and that by means of vlolence they endeavored to hoist the. red flag above the flag of the Union. their expulsion from the coun- try by the simple executive order of representatives of a democracy is a. no- velty that seems somehow to embody conflicting principles of administration. In our own country there have been in- stances of the deportation of "undesir- able citizens” from towns which they had disturbed, but larger and more complex questions are raised when the rulers of one of Great Britain's over- seas commonwealths lay hold of British disturbers of the peace and send them back to the mother country. It may be said that their continued presence in South Africa would not on- ly have endangereddts peace and binâ€" dered its prosperity, but might have imperilled the lives of the whole white populatlon. No worse example could be set before the natives than the taking up of arms against the forces whose duty is the preservation of order. Gen. B0- tha and his colleagues were bound to crush a party that resorted to rifles, barricades and dynamite, with the stop- page of railroad transport and every industry, for the enforcement of its will. And they did the work with a swlftness and thoroughness that commanded ap- probation. But the strong hand seems to be too strongly exercised in throw- ing the offenders into exile without their conviction by any legal tribunal. This creates a fresh South African difficulty for the British government, which can- not approve, and yet must not interfere wltlil the action of a. self-governing do- in n on. The Hog as a Mortgage Payer. Mr. Samuel 1V. Allerton. in a book on; titled “The Hog: The Mortgage Payer.‘ lays great stress upon the importance of increasing the output of pork, espe- cially in view of the existing shortage of meat products. He points out that the profit in hogs is great. and "their presence on the farm makes for the benefit of all crops by supplying a. na- tural fertilizer." He says the only seri- ous obstacle to success is hog chol- era, and this may be avoided by pro- per feeding. He recommends ground barley as a food. and as this grain can be grown in this Province to perfec- tion, the recommendation is of special interest. Taking the Woman’s Arm. And now another great question con- fronts uszâ€"Is it correct to take a wo- man’s arm when walking with her? This question has. been made acute by Kaiser William, who has issued an edict that officers of the German army must not take the arm of a. woman compani- on, not even if she is his wife. This is a. simple rule. And a noted authority on these matters is quoted as saying, “Only a. bear would take a lady's arm except to hand. her to a carriage if her hands were engaged with her gown, or in the event of danger or illness." This doctrine ls generally repudiated in society these days. It ought not to be, because it encourages dignity and CO “rindgm. Ont -) . ‘ l ' respect. There is a certain distance be- tween tlio sexes that should never. be forgotten and when it is the natural courtesy between the man and woman easily disappears. It is hard to say it, yet this slight familiarity is a step to- ward maklng the woman seem more common than she ought to seem. The average I Ends Misery Instantly. NO REMEDY SO SPEEDY OR EFFICIENT. A real Cramp cure? Yes, a real oneâ€"in a. twinkling the cramp is a dead one, and the last squirm is over,.once you get a stiff dose of Nerviline 'on the inside. This isn’t more talkâ€"it's a solid, truthful fact. No other remedyâ€"not a single oneâ€"ewill- cure cramps so quickly and harmlessly as Nerviline.

Granger from Hartford. “1 was :awakened from a sound sleep and found myself suffering the worst kind of torture. I was so doubled up I could hardly cross my room.

It finished the cramps-â€"just one single dose.” Sickness at- night is rendered a nightmare of the past if Nerviline is handy. or cramps. will cure at once and save calling the doctor. Nervlline is a family physi- cian in itself. The large 500. family size bottle, of course, is most econo- mical. Small trial size costs a quar- ter. All dealers sell Nervlllne. ’1‘ . EXPLAINING THE TELEGRAPH Nervlllne in every case w Great Excitement In a Small, Vil- lage in Bosnia. ' As a. general rule, the telegraph no longer arouses rthe wonder and awe that it did in our grand- fathers. In remote countries, how; ever, there are still people who have never heard of it, or who are unable to understand it. Da-s Echo tells of the perplexi-ty that the teleâ€" graph caused in a small village of Bosnia. » The government had installed a telegraph line from Prijedor to Bihatsch. ' , “What is the meaning of this wire 2” asked the astonished in- habitants of a village through which the line happened. to pass. “his a telegraph,” said the ci-als. “One can send a message along this wire, straight from here to Stamboul.” , ‘ The villagers were incredulous. “That is impossible. How can a message run' along a wire '1” The headm-an thought awhile; then he hit upon the proper explaâ€" natiO-n. “Imagine,” he said, _"a dog that is terribly long, and whose tail is stretched like the wire on these poles; imagine that his tail is so long that he reaches from here to Stamboul. Now, suppose "we pinched his tail here. Wouldn’t he bowl in Sta-mboul?” The villagers understood. >1... THE WAY OUT ‘From Weakness to Power by Food Route”, ' Getting the right start for the day’s work often means the differ- ence between doing things in whole- some comfort, or. dragging along half dead all day. There’s more in the use of proper food than many people ever dream of~â€"more’s the pity. “Three years ago I began work- ing in a general store,” writes a man, “and between frequent delivâ€" eries and more frequent customers, I was kept on my feet from morn- ing till night. ' “Indigestion had troubled me for some time, and in fact my slight breakfast was taken more from habit than appetite. At first this insufficient diet was not noticed much, but at work it made me weak and hungry long before noon. “Yet a breakfast of rolls, fried foods and coffee meant headache, nausea and kindred dis-comforts. Either way I was losing weight and strength, when one day a friend suggested that I try a ‘Grapc-Nuts breakfast.’ “So I began with some stewed fruit, Grapeâ€"Nuts and cream, a soft boiled egg, toast, and a cup of Postum. By noon I was hungry, but with a healthy, normal appe- tite. The weak, languid feeling was. not there. {‘My head was clearer, nerves steadier, than for months.
