Mr. M. a Morrison Suffered From Kidney Disease for Five Years-- Dodd's' Kidney Pills Cured Him. * Tarbot, Victoria Co., CB. June 12th (Special.) -- Cured of 'Kidney trouble of five years' standing and of '| which three doctors failed to cure him, Mr. M: A. Morrison, a well known resident of this place has neo | hesitation in stating that he owes his As health to Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I was so weak I could not walk a quarter of a mile and to-day I am able to attend to my work as well as ," Mr. Morri- son says. "For five 8 I suffered from Kidney Disease. I was treat- ed by three skilful doctors but got no benefit, "Then a friend advised me to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. I went to the druggist and got five boxes. Before 'I had used four boxes I was com- pletely cured. "4 advise anyone suffering from kid- ney disease to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. Anyone who wants to - know - more aboub my cure has only to write to me and I will tell them all about it." Dodd's Kidney Pills are no experi- ment. They have been curing kidney disease in all parts of Canada for a quarter of a century.

Twenty-two of the leading Boards of Trade of Ontario have made tepre- sentations to the Ontario Government for a reorganization of its forest pro- tection system. The Boards have specified two re- forms: the reorganization of the rangers so as bo provide for super- vision and inspection, both In the head office and the field; secondly, that the government should make some effort to keep down the timber damage re- sulting from settlers' clearing fires, For the latter purpose, ib has been suggested that a system of "permits" issued by fire rangers to settlers in- tending to burn slash in the neighbor- A Man S depends ApoE his power to produce what the world "And when you skirmish around yout find that this G --which is just power hood of forests, should be tried out in a few localities, so as to determine the best: procedure.

The ides; demand for s gen- 'niture was safe and there was a con- siderable amount left over for present |* 'needs. | eral reeonstruction of Ontario's forest bection plan is finding sympathetic deration by the Minister of Lands and Forests, who during the past year | ed th oth | has been e: ingly bul { special decent care. It has been estima that forest fires in Canada, mostly preventible, destroy more wealth than would pay the annual interest on the last' Dominion loan of 100 million dol- lars. mr Lf A RIVER OF HORROR. No White Man, Exploring its Riches, Ever Has Returned. There is a river of mystery and horror in Peru, and the legends of rich rubber regions and untold wealth in gold are accompanied by tales of those who went up it never to return, Casimer Watkins, a naturalist, re- recently returned ln South 'Amer- ica, tells of the stream. "This river," he said, "is the Colo- rado River, the richest river in Peru, Great groves of rubber trees lle along its course, and gold has been found in it. But the Mascos, a tribe of cannibals, infest it. They still prac- tise cannibalism and will kill a man 'on sight. - Expeditions have been fit- ted out and been heavily armed to go exploring for rubber and gold, but none of them ever has returned. The savages have killed the, men and eaten them and turned the canoes a- drift. They have come down the river empty, bottoms up, or filled with supplies which the savages did not care to remove," ef ene A PATHETIC INCIDENT. Not long ago a gentleman who had been living fairly well and was thought well of, suddenly died. As was natural, one of the first things after his death, was the straightening up of his estate, and when matters were looked over and an inventory possessed of, it was found that ib would take almost every -available cent to pay the outstanding obliga- tions which he had contractéd, with a result that his family would be turned out upon the street. 1t was heartrending to see them en- deavoring to retain some articles of furniture most dear to them. It look- ed as though the house which they had been accustomed to live in would have to' BO, but in packing up and rummaging through some of the fur- niture what was their relief when they came across a policy for $5,000.00 which the late husband "had been carrying unknown to his'family in the Crown Life Insurance Company of Toronto. Notice of the death was sent the Company and a cheque was promptly issued.

Made in Canad, An Astonishing Temperature. | A private soldier had had pneu- that he was by no means "cured." One day the doctor was taking his {temperature, and while Tommy had the thermometer in his mouth the doc- | tor movedron to the next bed and turn- ed his baek to the first patient. Tommy saw his chance. He pulled the thermometer out of his mouth and popped it into a cup of hot tea, re- placing it, however, the moment he saw the doctor begin to turn back to his bed. When the physician exam- ined the thermometer he looked first at Tommy and then back to the ther- mometer and gasped: "Well, my man, you're not dead, but you ought to be!" No Connection. . The Canadian Branch of the Queen Mary's Needlework Guild wish to- dis- claim any connection with a chain- letter which is being circulated in the name of the Guild by the New York Branch. Though responsibility in no way touches the Canadian Branch, the ladies here regret that such a method of obtaining money for the Queen's Guild has been resorted to, and that it has got into this country, as the chain-letter system has long since been condemned and fallen into dis- favor.

He's sound in wind and limb; that I'll stake my name on. Ididn't sell him to you as a charger; he isn't one. You asked me if he would shy before cannon-fire.~ As a harmless jest 1 said 'No, but I didn't say he wouldn't shy after the gun was fired; I never tried him. You want too much Major; really you do."
