Mrs. Charles Masson, Yanvaehiehe, Que,, proves the great value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in building up people who have become weakened and run down. She says: "In the winter of 1905 I was very much run Sty. and lost flesh rapidly. My blood was poor. . I suffered from indigestion, severe headaches and general debility. In this condition I deeided to give Dr. Wil- lian’ Pink Pills a trinl, and thanks to this Tohuthie medicine I am again enjoy- ing perfeet health.” Spring is the season when your system needs toning up. In the spring you must have new blood, just as the trees must have new sap. Nature demands it. Without new [blood you will feel weak and lan- guid; you may have twinges of rhou. ‘matism or neuralgia, occasional head. aches, a variable appetite, pimples or eruptions of the skin, or a pale, pasty complexion. These are sure signs that the blood is out, of order. A tonic is needed to give new energy. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the best tonic in all the Nature Needs Assistance in Making New Health-Giving Blood.

These bed coverings, it was remembered. had been put away after a siege of the disease. This is only one of many instances that could be re- lated to show how long the infectious agent retains its vitality and how com- mon a, thing it is for scarlet fever to be disseminated by bedding and other ob- jects. These quilts should have been burned as soon as the first patients had recovered. i Germs Possessed of Remarkable Vitality, as Many Instances Show. In a farm house in one of the New England states a case of svnrlct fever unexpectedly developed not long ago. On seeking for its origin the physician found About all of the new bridges now under way or to be provided are to be of this decorated reinforced concrete. Aside from this happy solution ofthe question of beauty the material for bridge work is as strong as steel and much more enduring. Especially when l subjected to the acid gases oi locomotive 'smoke and the action of steam the con- crete remains unaffected, whereas the steel is subject to corrosion. Of course, too, in the matter of cost, the figures are greatly in favor of the concrete. The concrete bridge on Frankford avenue, across the Poquessing Creek, for ir. stance, more beautiful than any steel structure could he, cost about $12,600. For steel the cost would be about $25,- 000. In general. the difference in cost. for concrete bridges is about 33 per cent. less than for steel and fully 50 per cent. less than for any kind of hewn stone. As between stone and concrete this differ- ence is made up largely in the cost of construction rather than in the material. l TORONTO Another successful experiment inb the treatment of surfaces, especially those of railings, ballwsterts and columns, has been washing, to remove the fine mater- ial and leave a roughened exterior which shows the grain of the substance and the larger pieces of which it is composed. \This brings out at once a suggestion of the great strength of the concrete and whether the pieces of rock shown be the black trap or the rounded pebbles, either of which may be used in the mixtures, the color is highly satisfactory and the impression that of genuinenesk. It does not look like rock of any kind unless it might be that known to geologists as conglomerate, which, in fact, it is, though made artificially. It has been found that this washing off of the sur- face does not destroy the sharpness of points or corners and the roughness pro- duced is not so great as to permit of the lodgment of moisture. [the appearnnoe of stone laid in courses. l Unfortunately, however, it does not look Iii; stone. Another method, used to I conceel the line where one day’s work is ended and the next began, was to plaster the place of joining. This is never sat- isfactory, as it leaves a. diswolored streak and suggests an attempt to hide a weak spot. Mr. Webster's method of overcom- ing this is to make a sharp clear line of indentation between each day’s work by the temporary use of a. triunguler stri of timber, kept for the purpose. The result shows the concrete laid in courses, symmetrically marked off, and yet not attempting anything like an im. itation of dressed stonework. An ex. cellent example of this method is to be seen in the bridge, just about completed, which carries the boulevard over the N. P. Railroad. This style of building, is further interesting as indicating a, means of calculating approximately the time required to construct the bridge. i A..-u.-.. -----__i__ . - - BEWARE or SCARLET FEVER HEALTH IN Tlit HOME. wny.- A bouquet/rt flow- which this disease is ppulling.
