The trouble with the old-fashioned methods was that when the treat- ment was stopped [the trouble re- turned in an aggravated form. The modern method of curing in- }digestion and other stomach trou- bles is to tone up the stomach to do its normal work. Every step towards recovery is a step gained, not to be lost again.‘ The recovery of the appetite, the disappearance 'of pain, the absence of gasâ€"all are steps on the road to health that those who have tried the tonic treatment remember distinctly. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are a tonic medicine, every constituent of which is helpful in building up the digestive organs, and is therefore fthe very best remedy for chronic cases of stomach trouble. The suc- cess of the treatment is proved by thousands of cases like the follow- ‘in?:“ Mr; W. W. Swain, Grand Valley, Ont., says :â€"â€"“For several years my mother had stomach trou- le from which she got no relief whatever until she began the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. She was treated at different times by three doctors, but their efforts did not avail. Then she was advised to try an electric belt, but it proved worthless. She suffered much'dur- ing this time and food became dis- tasteful. The trouble also affected her nerves and her general health was on the verge of a breakdown. One day a friend who was in asked her to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Without very much hope that the Pills would prove successful when other medicines had failed, we nevertheless got her a supply. In a few weeks we could see a decided change, and got six more boxes. .By the time these were used mother was "almost well, and she kept on taking the Pills for a short time longer and was completely cured. She is now a healthy and strong , woman and is never bothered with her stomach in any way. I hope this statement will bring relief to other sufferers.” V Why experiment with medicines of doubtful value, ,when you have such positive evidence of the bene- fit following the use of Dr. Wil- liam’s Pink Pills?

London’s (England) hotels, of which there are upwards of five hundred, are called upon to find accommodation for between 25,000 :and 30,000 visitors nightly. Some of these London hotels are wonderful [places Twenty of them represent a capital of $40,000,000. Some pos- sess over a thousand bed-rooms, and as many as 8,000 guests have been known to sleep in a score of these palaces. Oftentimes the ta- ble silver at a famous hotel repre- sents a value of $500,000, and a great deal disappears annually into the pockets of “souvenir-hunters.” There is hardly a tradefor profes- sion but what has its own particu- lar hotel in London. The origin of ,the modern metropolitan hotel was that years ago an enterprising ser- »vant who left a West-End mansion to start a boarding house, develop- ed it by stages into an hotel. which afterwards became one of the big- .gest in London, and enabled him to retire to the country a rich man. us IVORY FROM MILK. One of the latest discoveries of the synthetic chemists is how to make ivory out of nothing more wonderful than cow’s milkâ€"and very good ivory at that, according to all accounts. The original idea was to use the new “ivory” for. piano and organ keys because it preserves its original color indefi-_ nitely, whereas the genuine article turns yellow after atirne. But it has been found that the new pro- duct is not only an efficient substi- tute for ivory, but can easily be prepared so as to take the place of amber, horn. coral, celluloid. and such-like products, and. it is claim: cd, can hardly be distinguished from them. It is in its position as a substitute for ivory that ‘the new- aterial has caused most surprise, owever, because it has the appear- Eco of being another instigc‘é off lfllllllllfl consonant INTERESTING BITS 0F GOSSIP FROM THE QUEEN CITY. The World's Walklng Championâ€"leerals '1 New OntarIoâ€"Yacht Racesâ€"Tho Clty's Many Parks. Cynical critics of the Toronto street cars attach great significance to the fact that the one lone world’s championship To- ronto secured at the Olympic Games was that for walking. But that single cham- pionship was very much worth while. Walking may not be considered much of a sport or even an exercise. but it is very much of both. as George Goulding‘. world's champion. walks. From the mo- ment he strikes his pace every muscle in his body seems to be in motionâ€".hishands, arms and body all seem to be helping his legs along. Not that he has the ungainly pump-handle jerkiness which some walk- tions are every one graceful and he moves forward with a speed that is impressive, solimpressive that it generally gets the nerve of any competitor. Goulding's style has been criticized, but the best authorities say it is a perfectly legiti- mate walk. ' He is probably the best the world has seen. And that’s something for Toronto to be proud of. No wonder it gave him a warm welcome home. SOME POLITICAL AMENITIES. The idea of a leader of the Opposition taking his whole party on a trip through New" Ontario was a novel one. and Mr. Rowell has been receiving a good deal of non-partisan praise for conceiving and carrying out his dog-day jaunt. To take 116 representative old "Ontario citizens. even if they are vote-hunting, into New Ontario. cannot help but be good for both Old and New Ontario. The govern- ment. .too, is getting credit for the spirit it showed in connection with the under- taking. A Temislmming and Northern Ontario Railway private car “Was placed at the disposal of 'Mr. Rowell, and gov- ernment ofilcials at various points were instructed to look after the comforts of the party. The growing interest in the hinterland is further evidenced by the Toronto Board (fif Trade’s second expedition into it in orce. YACHTING HAS FEW CONVERTS. With international ~yacht races at T0- ronto and at Chicago, the first week in August sees the climax in the season's interest in yachting. For some reason or other yachting does not increase in po- pularity here. There is doubtless much more money invested in pleasure boats in Toronto than ever before, but that is be- cause every once in a while some million- aire takes it into his head to spend $100,- 000 on a. steam yacht. and expensive motor boats also are increasing in number.'But in the old-fashioned dinghys and other sailing craft where every man works for his passage. there is not much advance. Possibly accidents have held popularity in check. An amateur in a sailboat is about as awkward and as dangerous a combination as one ever sees, and the occasional fatal upset that happens always results in a lot of sailboats being put on the market, and makes a lot of other peo- ple decide to find sport some other way. despite the many natural advantages of- fered by Toronto’s bay. TORONTO SPREADS WESTWARD. There are many people living who re- member when it was quite an expedition to visit the Humber river, which flows in- to Lake Ontario some five miles west of the foot of Yonge street. In the old days excursion boats ran from the harbor to the Humber mouth. That was long be- fore tbe “Banish the Bar" era, and if the ashes of some of the Humber buildings recently destroyed by fire could talk, they could tell of many gay goings-on, when the merry-makers from the then distant. city arrived in force. Now we seem to be within reasonable distance of the time when the whole valley of the number from its mouth up to Lambtcn Mills, two miles north. will be taken into the city limits, and at the same time will come in the intervening territory, which Includes the settlement at Swansea and Runnymede. lfr. Home Smith. one of the most far-seeing and en- ergetic of the younger citizens, has. with the backing of a syndicate, bought up nearly all the property on both banks of the river. The high ground on the banks will make attractive residential sites,com- manding as it does views of the beauti- ful Humber Valley panorama. and of the lake. A year ago he offered to present the city with the bed of the river and the low-lying ground beside it. He attached certain conditions which the civic au- thorities balked at. but now the time seems ripe for Toronto’s next big annex- ation scheme to go through. When it does they ray that the author of the idea will stand a good chance of going into the millionaire class. One of Mr. Home Smith's conditions was that the city would construct and man- tain a driveway up the Humber Valley. This would connect with the sea-wall and boulevard, which some day. it is hoped, will decorate the city’s waterfront from the Exhibition grounds westward. and would provide one of the longest and most, picturesque city driveways to be found anywhere in the world. Now. Acting Mayor Church has improved on the plan with the suggestion that at the mouth of the Plumber a new city says, should be as large as Queen's Park. which contains .37 acres. The location is excellent, and If the entire project is worked out Toronto will have reason to be proud. ~ TORONTO'S PARK SYSTEM. This is the season when the city gets the fulI benefit of its breathing spacea. Queen's Park, which is probably the best known because of its accessibility and the location there of the Parliament build- ings. is by no means the largest park in the city. That distinction falls to High Park in the west end with its 335 acres, chiefly in their state of natural beauty. This was the magnifiCent gift to Toronto of the late Mr. Howard. who lived on the property and whose quaint old rcsl. deuce. with monument near by. keeps green his memory. It is not altogether satisfactory to know that descendants of the‘.‘city‘s benefactor are not far removed from poverty; for the property, if put on the market now, would yield a stupend- 'ous sum. .IIigh Park is traversed by a network of roadways, and has been spoiled for many citizens in recent years by the ad. vent of motor cars, which make the, Wind- ing paths a. nightmare to the mothers of impetuous children. Then there is Exhibition Park, with its 234 acres. and Centre Island Park with 213 acres. Riverdnle Park with its de- veloping Zoo has become the most inter- esting spot in the city for children. It has 108 acres. Then there are literally dozens of smaller park areas. Alexander Park on Bathurst street, with lts seven acres. was formerly the residence of Sir Casimfr Gyowski, and In a delightful re- treat. The Allan Gardens at the corner of Bhorbourne and Carlton. with its sta- tue of Robert Burns and plant houses. has 10 acres. Bellwood's Park in the west end. with 5 acres.

Lâ€"n Many a. man who is calling loudly Yr justice would be in jail if he got ers think gives them speed. for his mos. park should be established. The site, he _ -â€"_â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"- Smlth's former residence, contributes 6 acres in the heart of the city. Then there are some 30 acres in the Rosedale ravines and a great number of other open spaces and gardens running from half an acre upwards. Altogether, the city has over 1,600 acres of park land. 0n the warm summer evenings they are well filled, par- ticularly when the band plays. CHILDREN LIKE RIVERD ALE. The Riverdale Park Zoo is the special delight of "Danny" Lamb. formerly an alderman. and now the ultra strict mem- ber of Toronto's Board of License Com- missioners.‘ By purchases, gifts and trades he has built up a collection that Is already the children's delight. He has an elephant, six lions. a tiger. leo~ pards, polar bears, Canadian, Japanese. Russian and Syrian bears. kangaroos, wolves, monkeys, llamas. raccoons, deer. birds of various kinds, including eagles. storks, cranes. parrots. peafowl, wild fowl; also several alligators and a large number of reptiles. Needless to' say. they constitute a never-failing source of inter- est to the younger generation and to the grown ups too. Every afternoon and Sun- day Rivcrdale is crowded with thousands of children and their guardians. ARRESTED . “Uncle, I didn’t know doctors were policemen.” “Neither did I, dearie. Why do you think they are?” ‘ “Because. when I was sick the doctor said he was goin’ to arrest the fever, and I’m sure he did, be- cause it never came back 1” ssâ€" FAMILY RUNT. Kansas Man Says Coffee Made IIim That. “Coffee has been used in our family of elevenâ€"father, mother, five sons and four daughtersâ€"for thirty years. I am the eldest of the boys and have always been consid- eredthe runt of the family and a coffee toper. “I continued to drink it for years until I grew to be a man, and then I found I had stomach trouble, ner- vous headaches, .poor circulation, was unable to do a full day’s work, took medicine for this, that, and the other thing, without the least benefit. In fact I only weighed 116 when I was 28. “Their I changed from coffee to Postum, being the first one in our family to do so. I noticed, as did the rest of the family, that I was surely gaining strength and flesh. Shortly after I was visiting my cousin, who said, ‘You look so much betterâ€"you’re getting fat.’ _ “At breakfast his wife passed me a cup of coffee, as she knew I was always such a coffee drinker, but I said, ‘No, thank you.’ “‘What!’ said my cousin, ‘you quit coffee? What do you drink '2’ “ ‘Postu'm.’ I said, ‘or water, and I am well.’ They did not know what Postum was,. but my cousin had stomach trouble and could not sleep at night from drinking coffee three times a day. He was glad to learn about Postum but said he never know coffee hurt anyone.” (Tea is just as injurious as coffee because it contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee.) “After understanding my condi- tion and how I got well he knew what to do for himself. He discov- ered that coffee was the cause of his trouble as he never used tobacco or anything else of the kind. You should see the change in him now. We both believe that if persons who suffer from coffee drinking would stop and use Postum they could build back to health and happi- ness.

In a paper recently it was announced that the executors of a Canadian' estate had dcmded that large holdings of a cer- tain industrial stock would have to be sold-because the beneficiary of the estate persisted in treating the entire dividend from the stock as income. The executors set aside as a sinking fund part of the annual return on the stock. ' Theoretically the executors were entire- ly correct in their attitude. Practically it would depend a great deal on the na- ture of the business in which the com- pany was engaged. As a rule, however, thelrproposed action was admirable. In- dustrial companies depend for their suc- cess on a greatmany things which can be altered by politics, nature, finance and the whim of the populace. By politics through tariffs and taxes; if the tariff on the products of certain of our industrial companies was lowered or wiped out the shareholders would find their securities worth but little. The bondholders would alone use up most of the profits.

Part should always be treated as capital and put by in a sort of sinking fund to reinvest us it grows large enough in this wayâ€"if the holding is large, two per cent. of each five receiv- ed in dividends should b saved. Thus. from a ten per cent. dividend six per cent. could be spent and four per cent. put by to be treated as capital. If after ten or twelve years the company was still “an the ring" the sinking fund would have amounted to sufficient to ofi‘set a very substantial depreciation in value and would. through‘reinvesting the income from the sinking fund. amount to the par value of the investment in a few years more. Of course, where the sum in- vested is small it is scarcely worth while} bothering about it in this way. It is wiser to sell the. stock if one cannot afu ford to take any chances with one's capital. In the case of mining stocks this is. of course, the rule. It is figured out that the life of the average ulna is ten years. One should, therefore, put by at least ten percent. of the cost of the mining stock every year, if the mine is a con- parativcly new one and a greater pre- caution if the mine is older, always pro- vided it pays sufficient dividends. Of course. anyone who buys non-dividend paying mining stocks is a gambler and won’t be interested in this sort of thing. But if you must buy mining stock: buy those paying dividends. and figure that ten years will exhaust the supply of ore. If at the end of ten years the mine is still working you are so much to the good. If, alas. it has shut down you lose, as you probably will. >1"""‘â€"'â€"" GET ACQITAIN’I‘ED WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS.
