Instant Postumâ€"a soluble powder â€"dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water, and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage instantly. BOc and 50c tins. _"I am working every day and sleep well at night. My two children were coffee drinkers, but they have not drank any since Postum came into the house, and are far more healthy than they were before." Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont. Postum comes in two forms: Postum Cerealâ€"the original form â€"must be well boiled. 15c and 25¢ packages. Both kinds are equally delicious and cost about the same per cup. ~_"There‘s a Reason" for Postum. â€"sold by Grocers. "So I quit coffee and cornmencedI to use Postum steadily, and in about ; two weeks I could sleep better and | get up in the morning feeling fresh. In about two months I began to gain| fesh. I weighed only 146 pounds when I commenced on Postum and now I weigh 167 and feel better than L did at 20 years of age. "I got so weak and shaky I could not work, and reading an advertiseâ€" ment of Postum I asked my grocer if he had any of it. He said, ‘Yes, and that he used it in his family and it was all it claimed to be. "I have been a coffee drinker all my life, and when taken sick two gfears ago with nervous prostration, ‘he doctor said that my nervous sysâ€" lem was broken down and that I would have to give up coffee. When a man is in khaki it is imâ€" possible for him to wear the medals he has won, so a small piece of the ribbon on which the medal is suspendâ€" ed, and which differs in color, accordâ€" ing to the decoration, is worn on the left breast above the pocket of the tunic. By the colors of these scraps of ribbon a civilian who knows anyâ€" _ thing about decorations can tell what medals a soldier is entitled to wear, rnd incidentally what campaigns he "has been through, for every survivor of a campaign is awarded a special medal at its conclusion. But the doctor knows. His wide axperience has proven to him that, to some systems, tea and coffee are inâ€" sidious poisons that undermine the health. Ask him if tea or coffee is a :ause of constipation, stomach and rervous troubles. It is hard to convince some people that tea or coffee does them an injury! They lay their bad feelings to almost »very cause but the true and unsusâ€" pected one. Medicine Not Needed In This Case Apart from the foregoing medals, there are a number of special decoraâ€" tions. The ribbon accompanying the Vietoria Cross, the most coveted of these special decorations, in plain crimson for the army and blue for the navy; the Khedive‘s Star ribbon is plain blue; that of the Long Service and Good Conduct medal, which was instituted by. William IV., and is awarded after eighteen years‘ service in the British army, and carries with It a gratuity of $25 on discharge, is plain red; that of the medal for Disâ€" inguished Conduct on the Field, which carries with it a gratuity of $100 on lischarge, or an increase of 12 cents 2 day on the pension, is two red and one blue stripes, while of Roberts‘ Star, which bears the words, "Kabul to Kandahar, 1880," has one red, one yellow, and one blue, and two white stripes. The formerâ€"the Queen‘s medalâ€" was awarded by King Edward soon after his mother‘s death in 1901, and the latter, known as the King‘s, in 1902, to be worn in addition to the Queen‘s by men completing eighteen months‘ service in South Africa durâ€" ing the war. The Sudan medal was awarded by Queen Victoria in 1898 to the men who carried out the operaâ€" tions under Lord Kitchener, which led to the reâ€"conquest of the Sudan. â€" The Crimean veteran would wear a ribbon with a broad, light blue stripe between two narrow yellow stripes. It might be mentioned here that on every medalâ€"ribbon the stripes are vertical. The man who fought in the Indian Mutiny would wear three white and two red stripes placed alterâ€" nately, in the Egyptian campaign three blue and two white stripes placed alternately, in the Matabele campaign four orange and three blue stripes, in the Sudan a broad yellow and broad black stripe divided by a narrow red stripe, and in the South African campaign, for which there are two medals, two red, two blue, and an orange stripe, or a green, white, and orange stripe, or both. _ Mrs. Jos. Gaudreau, Notre Dame Mes Bois, Que., writes: "Last autumn our baby was very sick and we were greatly discouraged. The doctor did not seem able to help him, and we beâ€" gan using Baby‘s Own Tablets, which goon made him a fat, healthy child." Thousands of other mothers give Baby‘s Own Tablets the same praise. The Tablets regulate the stomach and bowels, break up colds and simple feâ€" vers, expel worms, cure colic, and make teething easy. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 rents a box from The Dr. Williams‘ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. What the Narrow Ribbons Mean on a Soldier‘s Coat. CGREATLY DISCOURAGED ~â€" OVER BABY‘S ILLNESS 6 A DOCTOR‘S EXPERIENCE THOSE STRIPS OF COLOR. The fisherman emerged some disâ€" tance farther down the stream, and scrambling to the bank, looked back. There on the pine sat the bear, inâ€" tently watching the hole where he had disappeared. He did not gn back to inform her that he was not there, but made for camp at good speed. Having fallen into pecuniary difâ€" ficulties the landlord decided to inâ€" crease the rents of his tenants. Meetâ€" ing one of them shortly after, he said: "Mike, I have to inform you that after the end of this year I am going to raise your rent." "Troth, then, your honor," said Mike, "I‘m more than pleased to hear it, for I’m,j at my wits end to know how I‘m goâ€" ing to raise it myself." ‘ There was no hesitation. To run was impossible. On the impulse of the moment the man dashed his string of trout full in the bear‘s face. In doing so he lost his balance, and the next instant there was a tremendous splash, and he disappeared in the rushing water. Pushing along to the fallen pine, he climbed upon it by dint of hard scrambling, holding on as best he could with his rod in one hand and his string of fish in the other. The tree was close to the bank, and the stream was running bank full. He was in the midst of the branches, crowding onâ€" ward, when suddenly an immense bear rose up close beside him. An Easterner was spending his first summer in the West where he had. a good opportunity to indulge in his favorite sport of trout fishing.. One afternoon he had been unusually sucâ€" cessful, but just as he was setting out for camp with a heavy string of fish he caught sight of a great pine that had blown down, and was lying with its top in the waterâ€"just the place for hooking a monster trout.

It‘s wonderful for lumbago _ and sciatica; for neuralgia, stiff neck, earache and toothache. Nerviline is simply a wonder. Best family liniâ€" ment known and largely used for the past forty years. Sold by dealers everywhere, large family size bottle 50c., small trial size 25¢. Refuse a substitute, take only "Nerviline." "Rheumatism kept my joints swolâ€" len and sore for ten years. My right knee joint was often too painful to alâ€" low me to walk. In this crippled torâ€" tured condition I found Nerviline a blessing. Its warm, soothing action brought relief I had given up hoping for. I rubbed on quantities of Nerviâ€" line and improved steadily. I also took Ferrozone at mealtime in order to purify and enrich my blood. I am toâ€" day well and can recommend my treatment most conscientiously. A marvelous pain reliever. Not an ordinary linimentâ€"just about five times more powerful, more penetrating, more painâ€"subduing than any thick, oily or ammonia liniment. Nerviline fairly eats up the pain and stiffness in chronic rheumatic joints, gives quick relief to those throbbing pains, and never burns or even stains the skin. Joints Quit Aching NO MORE STIFFENESS, PAIN OR MISERY IN YOUR BACK OR SIDE OR LIMBS! Wonderful "Nerviline" is the Remedy. "I have a certain hesitation in sayâ€" ing all this, because it may seem founded on mere recollections of my reading of prodigies of the past, our own Admirable Crichton or the Conâ€" tinental Pico della Mirandola. As a lad, Crichton is said to have known a dozen languages. I wonder in how many of them he could have deceived the native.. Gilbert Hamerton used to say that no more than two can ever be acquired in that perfection. "The peculiarity in this lady‘s case, as a Russian, was that she was one of many, only less richly endowed. And I hasten to add, still with the purpose of saving myself, that the union of qualities precluded the markâ€" ed bias for one that makes for sucâ€" cess." 5 "I knew of one," he says, "who had four languages, besides her own, at her tongue‘s endâ€"English,. French, German, Italian. She spoke in them and wrote in them. And. she had something to write aboutâ€"a basis of solid studies, in history, literature, and the commerce of life. She thought in them, wrongly enough sometimes, as I thought in my turn, but that was merely matter of opinion. The thesis was there, coherent and four square, with the power to hold her own in it. She was obsessed with the idea of a superior caste of mind, to which she and her intellectual set belonged. With all this she was a most accomâ€" plished musician, and had filled the Queen‘s Hall more than once for conâ€" certs given in her own name. Writing of the aptitude of the Rusâ€" sians for acquiring languages, Richâ€" ard Whiteing tells in the current numâ€" ber of the Bookman of a woman he met in that country: § Russian Woman Knew Only Five, But Knew Them Well.

The percentage of German students actively engaged in this war is greatâ€" er by far than in any other war in history. And withal, with the excepâ€" tion of four forest academics, all German colleges have maintained their regular winter and summer sesâ€" sions. The lists of matriculated stuâ€" dents, however, have been markedly depleted. / ' In the fall of 1914 there were matriâ€" culated at the country‘s 22 universiâ€" ties, 11 technical colleges, 5 business colleges, 3 veterinary colleges, and 6 agricultural and mining colleges, 64,â€" 710 students, while 79,077 students were attending the 52 German high schools. Of these matriculated stuâ€" dents there have been enrolled in the army of 36,000 university students, 8,000 technical, 6,000 business, 300 Patterns, 15 cents each, can be obâ€" tained at your local Ladies‘ Home Journal dealer, or from the Home Patâ€" tern Company, 183â€"A George Street, Toronto, Ontario.

A delightful model is shown herewith in Ladies‘ Home Journal The wear and strain of life has tended in recent. years to produce nervous debility in a large percentage of our population. Thousands are afâ€" fected with a feeling they can‘t exâ€" actly describe. â€" They are always tired and droopy, lack ambition, have poor appetite, look pale and suffer from depressing headaches and insomnia. This condition is full of peril. It is the stepping stone to invalidism, the beginning of a shattered constitution. We advise everyone in this condition to take a good medicine at once and try to get well while yet there is time. Probably no better advice can be given ‘ than ~to use regularly Dr. Hamilton‘s Pills which have become famous in restoring the sick to good health. A general toning up of the system at once takes place. The whole body is vitalized by richer and purer blood. The appetite is increasâ€" ed, food is digested and .naturally strength rapidly increases. Headaches go because the bowels are regulated and all wastes are carried off. There is no. experiment about using Dr. Hamilton‘s Pills because they cerâ€" tainly restore the sick as a trial will quickly prove.

A Man Need Not Be a Servant All His Life Long! I do not believe that the principles of life have changed in 40 years, writes John Williams Streeter. I do not believe that an intelligent, ableâ€" bodied man need be a servant all his life, or that industry and economy miss their rewards, or that there is any truth in the theory that men canâ€" not rise out of the rut in which they happen to find themselves. The trouâ€" ble is with the man, not with, the rut. He spends his time diligently searchâ€" ing for an outlet or in honestly workâ€" ing his way up to it. Heredity and environment are heavy weights, but industry and sobriety can carry heavier ones. I have sympathy for weakness of body or mind, and paâ€" tience for those over whom inheriâ€" tance has cast a baleful spell; but I have neither patience nor sympathy for a strong man who rails at his conâ€" dition and makes no determined effort to better it. \ He had not properly adjusted his saddle, and on mounting he swungâ€" saddle and_ allâ€"right â€" under the horse‘s body between its legs, where he was suspended for a few seconds.

One man didn‘t know much about horses, but trusted to luck to get through. The Canadian demand for Indian and Ceylon teas increase. yearly. and if one adds to this the many other contingencies brought about by the war, it can readily be understood why the cost of ~tea is increasing. Russia is taking enormous quantities, and their buyers pay the very highâ€" est prices. The abnormal buying has forced quotations up over 10c a pound higher than nine months ago. Russia Buys Large Quantities of Tea. The thousand miles of highway through the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and half way into Alâ€" berta, will be financed by the municiâ€" palities through which the roadway would pass. Several appropriations also will be sought from the provinâ€" cial Governments. The project has been received with the greatest enâ€" thusiasm in a number of the larger cities along the proposed route. It has been pointed out by the proâ€" moters of the highway plan that the land values of the prairle provinces would be greatly enhanced by the building of a _permanent concrete highway, such as the Lincoln Highâ€" way, which has had such a wonderful effect upon the general road building in the United States. This project contemplates the conâ€" struction of a concrete highway from Winnipeg to Calgary, to go thorugh the more thickly settled territory tapped by the Canadian Pacific Railâ€" road.

Thus far the mortality among the students of Germany has been as folâ€" lows: Bonn, 2 lectors and 113 stuâ€" dents; Freiburg, 3 adjunct professors, 3 assistants, and 117 students; Goerâ€" tingen, 7 lectors, 8 assistants, and 142 students; Heidelburg, 78 students; Jena, 112 students; Kiel, 24 students; Leipzig, 3 lectors and 266 students; Munich, 10 students; Tuebingen, 9 lectors and 130 students. The Technical College of ~Berlin, which during former summer semesâ€" ters 2,200 students attended, shows a matriculation this year of 2,013, of which number not more than 302 are in attendance, while about 1,710 are doing military service at the front. The students matriculated at the Berlin University for the current summer term of six months, or a semester, numbered 8,016, compared to 8,647 of last summer. ~In reality only 2,300 male and female students actually attend the university. In Munich 5,701 students are matricuâ€" lated this summer semester, of which number 3,957 were granted leave of absence to serve in the army or saniâ€" tary corps. Of the 4,000 female students apâ€" proximately 600 have become sick nurses. From Koenigsberg, which contributed the largest contingent of students, 1,057 out of 1,280 went to the front.

The aged lady next door had been quite ill, so one morning Willie‘s moâ€" ther said to her small son: "Run over and see how old Mrs. Smith is this morning." Willie reparted, but in a few moments he came running back and said: "She says it‘s none of your business." "Why, Willie," exclaimed his mother, "what did you ask her?" "Just what you told me to," said Willie. "I said you wanted to know how old she was." "Oh, yes; I was awfully lame then.

The lightest wood in existence is believed to be the wood of ambach, a leguminous plant that grows near Lake Chad and on the tributaries of the Upper Nile. The tree, which is sometimes called the pith tree, often attains a diameter of six inches in the two or three years of its life. At that age it dies, and another shoot starts from its roots. i "Why, Sharpe, I‘m glad to see you so lively again. You were quite lame when I last met you."

A Corps of Painters Areâ€"Constantly Employed on Forth Bridge. Few people comprehend the extent of purely normal wear and tear. Lonâ€" don Titâ€"Bits says that one large railâ€" way system suffers. a loss of more than eighteen tons of metal daily, due soleâ€" ly to the effect of rust. Thus far, the only known preventive is to keep the metal surface always covered with a suitable paint. Some idea of the costliness of this remedy, however, may be gained from the fact that it requires about £1,000 annually to paint one large railway bridge alone. A typical case of this kind is the Forth Bridge, on which a corps of painters are constantly â€"employed, since the weather makes repainting of one end of this large structure neâ€" cessary before the workers have reached the other. Although experiâ€" ments have demonstrated that pure iron surrounded by oxygen does not rust, and that some acid,â€" especially carbonic acid, is necessary for the proâ€" duction of rust, the secret of manuâ€" facturing rustless steel and iron reâ€" mains to be discovered.
