Name given by Canadian Postum rCo., Windsor, Ont. “Before using Grape-Nuts I was troubled much with weak eyes, but as my vitality increased the eyes became stronger. i' "I never heard of another food as ‘nutritious and economical as Grape- Nuts.” "I have gained twelve pounds in weight and have a good appetite, my nerves are steady and I sleep sound. , have such strength and reserve force that I feel almost as strong and fresh at the close of a day's work as at the beginning. "I tried various remedies without good results; then I determined to give particular attention to my food, and have learned something of the properties of Grape-Nuts for rebuild- ing, body, brain and nerves. "Since using Grape-Nuts I have made a constant and rapid improve- ment in health, in spite of the fact that all this time I have been en- gaged in strenuous and exacting work. "At the time I commenced the use of Grape-Nuts my health was so poor that I thought I would have to give up my work altogether. I was rapid- ly losing in weight, had little appetite, was nervous and sleepless, and exper- ienced almost constantly a feeling of exhaustion. If by proper selection of food one can feel strong and fresh at the end of a day's work, it is worth while to know the kind of Hood that will pro- duce this result. A school teacher in the West says in this connection: If One Uses the Right Kind of Food. A largely-attended meeting, pre- sided over by Sir John Irwin, J.P., was held at Tallaght, for the purpose of explaining to the young men of the district their duty in the present crisis. While skimming the tops of pans of boiling glue in a Dublin factory, Simon Toole, aged 19, fell into one of the pans and was so terribly scald- ed that he died soon afterwards. Steps have beein taken with th.e idea of organizing Ireland as a mum- tion producing area. At a meeting of the North Kildare Farming Society, it was decided to hold the annual show on September 29th. ", "ttb The Ulster Unionist Council has gassed a resolution protesting against reland's exclusion from the Registra- tion Bill. ' A man named Martin Kelly, of Bawn, employed at D'Arey's Brewery, met his death by falling into one of the large vats. At the opening of the Mayo As- sizes Mr. Justice Boyd deplored the state of recruitihg. He said out of a population of 48,522 in the county, only 438 volunteered. A double murder is reported from Collon, County Kildare, of Lawrence Hayden, an old age pensioner, and bis sister, Mary Ann Hayden, being found in their house beaten to death. From Erin’s Green Isle NEWS BY MAIL FROM IRELAND'S GREEN SHORES. Sergeant Albert Charley, 42nd Bri- gade, R.F.A., is the latest of the Athlone soldiers to secure the Dis- tinguished Conduct Medal.

Reinforcements for Belfast ship- yards and munition factories will ar- rive in a few weeks from United States, South Africa, Canada and the Antipodes. Second-Lieutenant R. L. Hender- son of Belfast, attached to the 4th Battalion Royal Irish Rides, has been invalided home following an at- tack of enteric fever. Happenings in the Emerald Isle of Interest to All True Irish- The number of old "age pensions payable in Ireland in the last Friday in March, 1914, was 202,202, and on the last Friday of March, 1915, 198,- 938. The O'Mahony D. L., Grange, Con., County Wicklow, has presented an Irish wolfhound to Lieutenant-Colonel Sir A. A. Weldon, Bart., D.S.O., as a mascot of the 4th Battalion. FRESH AT NIGHT Soldiers!- men. It really is not muai of a story, and I am giving it on account of its arch-e-o-log-i-cal interest, and not be- cause it is so very funny. It dates back to the days when people merely knew that peaches are the best of fruits and had not discovered that Canada is the best place to raise the very best of them. The woman who was fortunate enough to get some from a sheltered orchard or from a lone tree that was so fortunately situated that it escaped the frost, put up a few to have for such special occasions as the visit of the preacher. In-those days the minister was a "I aint, but yhenever the preacher comes to dinner we always have peach preserves." __-_ nerl" - "I didn't know you were so fond of him." Once upon a time---you see I know how to begin a story in the right way ---a barefoot boy danced by the road- side and shouted gleefully, writes Pe- ter McArthur. It was in Canada, back in the nineteenth century, in the Pio- neer days. The little boy was healthy and freckled, and what he lacked in clothes he made up in the kind of body one should have inside of clothes. And he was very, very happy. In fact he was so happy that a Tassing friend stopped to ask him the cause of it all. "Hurrayy' shouted he of the freckles. "Why so happy?" asked the friend. "The preacher is coming to din- Alberta is alarmed over the ap- pearance of the sow thistle in the provinee---the curse of Manitoba farms. Peaches Cost Less Per Quart Than Any Other Fruit. High hopes for war munition or- ders are roused in Calgary. The city thinks the C.P.R. shops will be used as a plant. The News-Telegram of Calgary claims it has 27 employes in the ranks of the Canadian Militia. . The wife, under new acts, has to sign agreements and mortgages on homesteads in the west. Rudolph Walters, Austrian, serv- ing 12 months in the new provincial jail at Regina, has escaped. Saskatchewan is holding a deep enquiry into school reform and edu- catjenal work in the province. Peter McAra, senior veteran of the Indian Mutiny, who went to Regina 32 Fears ago, is dead, aged 75. Crab apples groivn in Winnipeg are the rare exhibits now at the Min- ister of Agriculture’s office. Saskatoon had a -suhmas on its annual exhibition amounting to $3,- 200. Girl cadets are now frequently seen in uniform on the streets of Saska- toon. Elbow, Sask., ratepayers voted down a by-law to provide better fire protection. As Dr. Woodland slept at Medicine Hat a burglar in his home took $30 from his trousers' pocket. Melfort, Sask., shipped out 34 car- loads of Carrot River Valley beef in one week, valued at $42,000.

THE PREACHER'S FRUIT. Springs of water still exist in the interior and there were secret subter- ranean passages and chambers for holding boarded treasures, many of which are supposed still to be hidden there. Although partially destroyed by the earthquake in 1842, which de- molished nearly all of the important buildings in the country, the colossal ruins-of the citadel still attest the gigantic works and the -World still wonders how the material for the con- struction and armament was raised to the top of the mountain. Famous Citadel of the Black King, Christian. On the summit of a Haitian mount- ain over four thousand feet high stand the wonderful ruins of the great citadel of La Ferriere. It was built by the black king, Christian. Some of the walls are eight feet high, six- teen feet thick and heavy batteries of fifty-six and thirty-two pound guns are in position. They were laid to guard every approach of what was intended to be the last asylum of Haitian independence. Messrs. Henderson & Co.'s latest monthly circular issued from Ceylon and just to hand states: "A feature of the market was the record prices paid for flavory teas. The oldest members of the tea trade in Ceylon could not remember such high prices being realized before." Tea on the Battlefield. Tea suddenly becomes one of the items of war material, and the price has gone up in the primary market about thirty per cent., with prospects of a real shortage and still further advances in price. When warring armies start buying tea for rations on the field with its attendant great waste, and the entire Russian people are suddenly deprived of vodka and turned to tea, then it can scarcely be surprising that such a fluctuation should occur in the price of tea. Steel and his partner, Peech, form- ed the greatest firm of bookmakers on the English turf 50 years ago. The fortune which they made on the race- track enabled them to enter the iron and steel industry as pioneers in 1875. Steel died at the age of 83. King Edwar d Won, and He Gave Late Steel Man Costly Trinket. Henry Steel, head of the great Eng- lish steel firm of Steel, Peech and To- zer, who has just died at his home in Sheffield, was perhaps best known outside trade circles as the man who laid King Edward, then Prince of Wales, $5,000 to a carrot against a horse at the Epsom races. The Prince lost and paid with a carrot formed of coral mounted in gold. There is nothing to equal Baby's Own Tablets for little ones. They are absolutely safe and are guaranteed free from opiates and never fail in giving relief from the minor ills of babyhood and childhood. Concerning them Mrs. Albert Bergeron, St. Aga- pit, Que., writes: "My baby was suf- fering from constipation and teething troubles and Baby's Own Tablets quickly cured him. Now I always keep them in the house." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine (lo., Brockville, Ont. _ Also it should be remembered that for eating from the hand the peach is the best fruit of all, but you should use for this purpose only the peaches that you buy in the full light of day. Once upon a time, or, perhaps I should say, "Onee upon another time," a newly arrived Irishman went out with a friend to steal peaches. It was very dark, and Pat had been told to grope along the branches for the, fruit. Presently he whispered, "Moilrel" His friend answered "Phwat!" "Has paiches got legs?" "Naw." "Then, begobs, I've swallowed a straddle bug." NOTHING TO EQUAL .BABY’S OWN TABLETS much more Lwelcome visitor on the farm than "the'ag‘ent of get-rieh-tiuiN concerns and mining promoters, and there is a moral to that if I only had time to work it out. Because peaches were saved for such extra special oe- casions a tradition has grown up about them in many parts of the country. Some housewives, otherwise very bright and a credit to the far- mers' institutes to which they belong, consider it an extravagance to pre- serve peaches unless they get them at saerifiee prices. Yet these same wo- men will pay from ten to fifteen cents a quart for currants and berries that need far more sugar to do them up than the already sweet peaches. As peaches usually come in eleven-quart baskets, you will find if you divide the price by eleven, that peaches cost less per quart than any other fruit. But because they were once so great a luxury housewives are slow to realize that they should have more of them than of any kind of fruit, for they are both the cheapest and the best. There is no reason why every farmer's wife in the districts where peaches cannot be grown should not buy them as free- ly as they do other fruits and have them not only when the preacher comes to dinner, but when the boys and girls come home from the city, and at all other times when they want to have something luxurious on the table. BET $5,000 TO A CARROT. WONDERFUL RUINS. The foreman who had not agreed very well with the man in question, exclaimed angrily: fool!" It is easier "to get into society" than to keep from being talked about afterwards. The Main Difficulty. The manager of a factory recently engaged a new man and gave instruc- tions to the foreman to instruct him in his duties. A few days afterward the manager inquired whether the new man was progressing with his work. "Progresssingl There's been a lot of progress. I taught him everything I know and he is still an ignorant Out .of every 1,000 births, eleven are twins. Milkmaids in London. Milkmen in the suburbs are gradu- ally being replaced by milkmaids, and one is sure the milkmaids will not stand the week's task of the male "pram round," which is a seven day's journey. They will not emit the morn- ing howl of the milkman, but some- thing sweeter and fresher. But one would like to be sure that her milk- tnaid's dress is as appropriate as that of the short-skirted milkmaids we can even now remember, with the yokes on their necks and the pails port and starboard! The excellent patriotic work of the File Indians at islearrost, Sask., con- tinues, and the Canadian Pacifie through Mr. W. R. Baker, the Secre- tary of the Company, has received another encouraging report. It was in October last year that thirty-three of these colonists subscribed $502.10 to the Patriotic Fund, each farmer giving a certain number of bushels of grain, which when sold amounted to the above sum. During the winter that followed, the now famous File Indian Brass Band gave concerts, thereby raising another $212.00, which went to the Belgian Relief Fund, and since March last, the Red Cross Branch of this Colony has raised $500.00 and endowedia bed in Clive- den Hospital. The young Indian wo- men have done a great deal of knit- ting and sewing. The branch has a membership of 86, while there are only one hundred and sixty souls- thirty-eight men, twenty-six women and ninety-six ehildren--in the colony. The patriotism of these Indians does not stop here. Two young men went to the front with the second eontin- gent, and six more are going with the next. The File Indians lay claim to having the oldest Red Cross Society member in the British Empire in the person of Pointed Cap. This cele- brated character says that he is the ripe old age of 107, and on November 12th next will attain his 108th year. He is now an "associate member" of the Red Cross, and proudly wears on his heart the little red cross, the em- blem of the society. It is quite pos- sible that in addition to the six latest recruits for the front, older members of the colony will go, as one man who is the father of nine children has ex- pressed his intention of so doing, and his wife says "I will not stop him." Despite the fact that a hailstorm last month destroyed all the crops in the colony, the File Indians are not down- hearted, and have made arrangements to continue their good work during the coming winter months to aid the boys across the sea, thus showing a patriotism worthy of a king.

Appendicitis Prevented life lengthened Health Maintained Doctors say if people kept their bowels in proper order there would be no such disease on record as appendi- citis. It is due solely to neglect, and is therefore preventable. If you have constipation, bad breath or headache you need medicine right away. The moment you suspect your bowels are clogged you should take Dr. Hamil- ton's Pills, the smoothest regulator of them all. "' They move the bowels and cleanse the liver so smoothly you scarcely notice the effect. But you get the action just the same. Taken at night you wake up next morning, clear headed, hungry, rested, ener- getic, feeling like a different man. Why don't you spend a quarter to-day and try Dr. Hamilton's Pills. They work so easy, just as nature would order, never gripe or cause headache. Finest thing for folks that are out of sorts, depressed, lacking in color and spirits. Folks that use Dr. Hamil- ton's Pills are never sick, never have an ache or a pain,-Heel good all the time simply because the s stem is clean, regulated and healthy.

A grandee of Spain enjoys the pri- vilege, granted him many hundreds of years ago, of remaining "covered" in the presence of his sovereign. This custom dates from the period when, according to the theory then held, the king was 'fthe first among equals." The ancient formula always at the coronation of kings of old Spain was: "We, your equals, choose you to reign over us." And the king as- sented in this declaration of his no- bles. There was a time when all gran- dees of Spain wore their hats in the presence of the king, but in time the idea of caste began to prevailL even among the grandees, with the result that they were eventually divided into three classes, and these classes were distinguished by the hat etiquette. The first class entered the royal presence covered, and, after an ad- vance of a few steps, put on their hats, unbidden by the king ,and the third class also entered uncovered but did not "eover" until requested to do so by the king. Then, according to the etiquette, "all were equal." There have been grandees who were not Spaniards,--notably the Duke of Wellington, upon whom the Cortes conferred the honor in recognition of his services to the state. v '- " v“ txiiss can be cured " by Putnam'l Ex; Quick tractor in 24 hours.
