I The next thing Tommy know he was lying on the verandah couch and Mother had her arm around him, while doctor Brown was doing some- thing to his ankle that hurt and nay- ing. "Just a sprain, nothing serious.” Just then Elsie Snow saw him and came running across the street. She wanted to play soldier with them, he knew, but she was only five and a girl; girls couldn't drill. Tommy start- ed to run, he wouldn’t hear her call. Just then Elsie stopped in the middle of the road and began screaming. Tommy looked bark. Coming down the street 2,',' a big touring car, the driver was onking and honking, but Elsie acted crazy. She just ran first' one way and then the other. Oh, dear! They would be on her in a mire; ute. Something made Tommy call, "Come on, Elsie, you can play, come quick." Elsie didn't seem to hear.' so Tommy rushed back and grabbed: her by the arm, pulling her toward his, side of the street. On came the auto,9 it seemed almost on to them. Tommy. tried to run faster and then every-l thing looked black. Certainly all his people were acting queer this spring! Tommy picked up his drum and swung his any over his shoulder and started out to find some of the boys to drill with. er. and he had let the {snowmen have the big lot back of the orchard to make gardens of. Tommy used to play ball there and he Ind Bennie Snow raced their ponies round it; now they couldn't, since it was all plow- ed.

The Yellow-bellied Sap- sucker'has a black patch on its breast, while the top of the head from the base of the bill is red. These marks distinguish it from all other wpod-l peckers. It girdles the trees with holes in securing the sap which forms part of its food. i A Canadian bank manager recently {boasted that he had shot seven wood- gpeckers in succession in his orchard, levidently under the. impression that (he was performing an exceedingly lrneritoridus service to the community. He was destroying one of our most active insectivorous birds and, though keenly interested in the conservation} of his trees and of our forests, he was destroying a most useful ally in their preservation. Boring insects are deadly pests of trees, and woodpeckers are their special enemies, as they are able to reach these pests so secure] from other enemies. No birds are more useful in the protection of our", forests. i Feeds Largely on Insects, and Only One Species Destroys Tree Life. What good is the woodpecker?

He makes no secret of the fact that he believes Dr. William‘ Pint Pills saved his life, and that they restored him to good health, after several medical men had failed to cure him. Mr. Dutt tells1 of his illness and cure " follows: "About four years ago I was attached I with in grippe. which left me in a con- dition diMcult to describe. I was " tacked with general weakness, and a constant dull pain in the stomach. I became so weak that I could not walk a hundred yards without sitting down to rest The food I ate continually soured on my stomach. My nerves were all gone, and palpitation ot the heart and a-fluttering sensation all through my chest, especially at night, was almost unbearable. I was finally compelled to go to bedtsnd called in a doctor, who said my heart was atteet. , ed, and treated me for that trouble. After three months attendance, and Ifeeling no better, I called in another doctor. His treatment also failed to help me, and I tried a third doctor. 1 This one said there was nothing wrong i with my heart, that the trouble was due to my stomach. After treating me tor a time he advised that I go to the hospital at Halifax. On a previous oc-l Icasion when I had an atihek of rheu. [matism I had been cured by Dr. Wil- l ilitunts' Pink Pun. and I decided that i rather than go to a hospital I would i] tre try this medicine. I got a supply 1 ot the pills and began taking them.‘9 In a few weeks I could feel my a strength returning, my stomach was s giving me less trouble, the palpitation 0 of the heart disappeared, and after a I It further use of the pills I felt as welkas l b ever I did in my lite.

Borg' If the practice of drying fruits and vegetables is " feasible as recent in- vestigations make is appear, 2% ex- pense of shipping water, whic makes up 80 per cent. of the bulk of these staple foodstuffs, will be eliminated, and if to this great saving is added the saving due to the lessened cost of preventing spoilage, the ultimate sav- ing to the consumer will be great. It ik said that vegetables no dried arecgresher end better in every re- spe , after they have been restored by water, than fresh vegetable: bought at retail after being a long time off the farm, in transit. in stor- age or in the window of the grocery store. The principle of removing water from vegetables without cooking them Iend without changing their food con- tent or physical structure has recently been successfully worked out. The wa- ter is gradually wi rswn from the peeled, sliced or ded vegetables by passing over em expanded air " comparativel ow temperatures.
