There is no doubt that under the present laws any owner ofa lot, with trees along the adjacent] street, may prevent linemen from butcher- ing these trees. Moreover, telephone or telegraph wires interfering with tree growth cam be removed no mat- ter how long they have been up Of course it would be difficult' to prove damage. On the whole. therefore, the Ontario laws encourage tree-growing and the rest is up to the 'dwellers in the sub- urbs and the citizens generally, ASQUITH'S POPULARITY Even with Mr. Balfour back, it may be a long way too soon to write the last chapter of the.

SCIATICA EXPECTED DEATH ANY DAY Another Case Where Life Was Saved and Health Restored by "Nerviline." It is because he feels it his solemn duty to tell to the world his faith in Nerviline that Victor P. Hires makes the following declaration: "For three years I was in the Royal Mail service, and in all kinds of weather had to meet the night trains. Dampness, cold, and exposure brought on sciatica that affected my left side. Sometimes an attack would come on that made me powerless to work. I was so nearly a complete cripple that I had to give up my job. I was in despair, completely cast down because the money I spent on trying to get well was wasted,' I was speaking to my chemist one day, and he recommended "Nerviline," I had this good liniment rubbed on several times a day, and got relief. In order to build up my gen- eral health and im- CURED prove my blood I Six used Ferrozone, one " tablet with each YEARS meal. I/ continued ; this treatment four : months and was cured. I have used all kinds of lini- ments, and can truthfully say that Nerviline is far. stronger, more pene- trating, and infinitely better than any- thing else for relieving pain. I urge everyone' with lumbago, neuralgia, rheumatism, or sciatica to use Nervi- line. I know it will cure them." _ There isn't a more highly-esteemed citizen in Westchester than Mr. Hires. What he says can be relied upon. For six years since being cured he hasn't had a single relapse...
