u ‘Dvrmilifi 3A Fruitful s AND WORRY Down Constitutions A little worry does a great deall bf harm. Overwork and worry gives :ruse to headaches, nervousness,_ sleeplessness, weak back, lack of linrterest in. your work, indigestion Eand some-tunes a complete break- gdown of‘the nervous system leading lto paralysis. If these are your isymptoms you need a tonic. And the only way to tone up the nerves lls through the. blood. Dr. Williams’ {Pink Pills for Pal-erPeople are a ,direct nerve tonic because they make new rich red blood, which feeds the nerves and strengthens every organ in the body. Under ithe tonric influence of these Pills nervousness and all the other evils of worry and overwork quickly dis- appear. They restore the digestion and enable the body to take full advantage from the food eaten. . Mrs. J. C. Chapman, Ome-mee, Ont, says: “I became completely {run down and my nervous system lshattered from ' overwork and lworry. I always felt tired and ex- hausted and slept badly at night. 5I tried several medicines but did 'not find the hoped-for relief. Then I decided to try Dr. Williams’ Pink {Pills I_ took them regularly for 'several months and they restored "me to perfect health, and I have ‘since been well and strong. 'I can lrecoImmend these Pills to any af- ‘fllicted with nervousness or a broken constitution as I feelsu-re they will effect a cure.” ‘ These- Pills are sold by all mediâ€" dealers or will be sent by mail :aut 50 cents a boxer. six boxes for $2.50 by writing The Dr. Williams’ Medicine C0,, Brockvi-lle, Out. is READY-MADE ORCHARD S. __â€"â€" I y l I I I ’ 'iLand Compamcs 1n Tasmama Pre- pare Them for Settlers. The snug little island State, Tas- il'rriania,_ has long since established ian env1able record by its fruit pro- lIdu-c'tion, particularly of apples, [large consignments of which reach fiEngvland just when there is the greatest demand for the best fruit; and every year, encouraged by this demand, increased shipments go to (England. There are still available in Tasmania comparatively large ‘iareas of land highly suitable for (fruit production, and already it [would seem that a very happy and promising scheme has been put into operation. It is. to this effect. Good numbers of Anglo-Indians and Bri- tish residentens in other countries, who are unable at present to get to such delightful places as Tasmania, are looking to, the future and hop- ing to spend the evening of their Elfe in this picturesque place. They ave been able, by satisfactory ar- Irangetrnenrts with local land compa- . ties in Tasmania, to secure areas to be devoted to orchards and to Ehave these areas cleared and plant- ,ed, so that in the course of a. very ew years the fortunate owners will be able to step in to their “ready- made” orchards. When it becomes iknown that it is possible for the Ipeople to secure land, and have it {properly laid out by reputable ifirms on the spot, there is bound‘to be an increase in the demand for ,‘areas under these conditions. A Ewell-known fruit expert from Mel- ’bourne recently paid a surprise {visit to some of these young orch- gards, and was delighted with the {results of his observations. Along lthe Tamar Rive-r, where the climate the whole year round is not surâ€" Ipassed by that of any other coun- 'try, there are, the expert states, 'plendid opportunities for the ex- {tension of this very interesting ,schemc. *I‘__ ..

A, Dying Superstition. “ The news from Russia that a case of ritual murder" at Kiel’f has resulted in the verdict of only an “ordinary” mur- der is encouraging of the emergence of that people from'the shadow of a super-- stltion prevailing from .the middle ages «as? in the light of this twentieth cenâ€" There was_a recent instance in which this old racral and religious prejudice held a‘controlling influence upon the determination of the courts.

Is the Home Passing? A contemporary notes the change brought about in home life by modern conditions in the cities. The difficulty of obtaining domestic servants is. said to be filling up apartment and boarding houses. and the Old-faShloned household is passing away. Physically even, the home has wondrously changed. The fire- place, the sacred shrine of the Old-time home. has been walled up and no longer casts its blessed glow on life. The lamp, about which all the family gather- ed ln the evening, is gone. too. The llv- lng-roomrâ€"the f‘home room" as the Dutclrmore appropriately,.‘call it, and more appropriately use ltâ€"survives only in name. The father has his "den," the mother has her own room, the small children have the nursery, and the half- grown has the back yard and the streets. The modern home is a place to sleep and take mostol’ our mealsâ€"we llve else- here. The children to-day are brought .up,_ not 111 the home. but in the schools. It is all for the best. no doubt. But the change, even in the lifetime of the mid- - ale-aged man, has been greatâ€"and Mary Ann is not alone responsible for it. Epochâ€"Making Events. If memory serves there have been se- veral cures for baldness in the market and out of it, but baldâ€"headed men will be delighted at the report of two more discoveries. A Polish peasant. who has something good for anythlng that alls you Is the author of a decoctlon of snakeweed that would make hair grow on a stone sidewalk. and an eminent physician of Budapest plants hair with gold wires, 1,000 to the square inch, so that after the sewing there is a beauti- ful crop, luxuriant and glossy. This is great news. The energy that will be set free when the bald-headed men‘ have ceased to concentrate on re- pairs for unthatched roofs should de- velop power enough to run a planet. In its ultimate effect conservation of for- ests would pale into lnsigniflcance by comparison with the conservation of hair. Judging by the good omen we may even predict the time when trium- phant inventors will have a cure for heads that are bald on the inside. Temperance in Russia. The Russian peasant has many vir- tues. If he is superstitious he is also genuinely religious, and of his loyalty, to the Czar there has never really been any question. The Nihilists are, of course, very terrible people. but com- pared with the mass of the Russian opulation they are the merest drop in he bucket. But the Russian peasant in Russia has two great faultsâ€"he drinks like a fish. and when drunk he can be most abominany cruel. Sober, he is charming peasant. in the world: drunk, he is a human beast, wherefore his pastors and masters have for a long time been trying one means after another for persuading on forcing this good‘ fellow to keep away from temptation. It is a. little known fact but most true, that hardly any govern- ment has adopted more drastic temper- ance legislation than the Russian. The latest device is to make use of the cinema theatres whch :{hibit films which deal with the evils of drunken- ness. The Russian peasant is one 01‘ the most artistic.pe0p1e in the world, and he will be ready enough to watch the pictures which show him into what a brute vodka can turn a man. He will be a keen student of the 'actor who at- tempts to portray scenes which he knows only too well by his own experi- ence. - Eating Fish in a. Restaurant. A writer in a London paper asks the question: “Did you ever eat the fish call- ed a bloater in a first-class restaurant?” And then he answers the question: “I did the other night. It was quite an in- ferior specimen,'but they called it “har- eng grille a la maitre d'hotel,’ and it took thirty-five minutes to prepare itâ€" which name and preparation added greatly to the «price charged." The bloater is a. herring, and the annual yield in Norway. Sweden and on the British coasts is about four thousand millions of this fish or about that num- ber of pounds. When it comes to serv- ing fish to a patron whether in a Euro- pean or an American restaurant the proprietor with malice aforethought pro- ceeds to treat the patron as a malefac- tor so far as he can by levying a special tax upon him. Even at our lakeside re- sorts where lt may be supposed that fish should be abundant the resorters are discouraged from asking for this article of diet and are switched off to beef and bacon. Sanitary Science. A very advanced proposition is that of New York's new health ccmmlssronâ€" er Dr. Goldwater. that the city once a year test the health of every man, wo- man and child of its 5.000.000 and odd inhabitants. In this way many unsus- communicable diseases would be reveal- ed. It would be a long step in preven- tive sanitary science. 'Enforced physi- cal examination, however, is a very ual and no doubt would be stoutly re- sisted. \V’hether such a. law would stand a court test seems doubtful. And yet the health or sickness Of every mem: ber of society ls the concern of athe whole. ’2‘- C00,]: “Was your husband cool when you told him there was a, burglar in the house l” a-Sked Mrs. Hammer. “,Cool,” replied ’Mrs. Gabb. “I should say he‘was cool. ’ Why, his teeth chattered.” u _ ELECTRICITY CURE. Humanity Must Learn More About Itself, Says Edison. The future uses of electricity that will benefit humanity most will be through its medical application. A new source «of electrical supply will be direct from coal without need for steam boilers. These are predict-ions of. Thomas A. Edison, ‘whose inventive genius is responsible for the widespread application of electricity. 1 ‘Electricity has been the, princi- pal factor in the enormous progress of civilization in the last 35 years,” more wonderful uses of it are held Edison said. “But greater and more wonderful uses of it are held by the future. “It must be possible to generate electricity direct from coal,” he said. “When that is accomplished we will record a new epoch. It may come to-mIorrow. We are working on it now. “Considerable is being done to reveal the medical functions of electricity,” he continued, “but its possibilities in this direction are practically unknown. “This research work must be done" secret-1y, as the thousands of quacks now applying electricity to humans for all sorts of ills seize on every advance announcement from scientists to advertise their claims. “Till we, know more about our bodies it will be diflicult to tell what can hedone with electricity as a medical aid.

Mrs. Edison, he explained, doesn’ t permit to work all night any more. His daily diet does not exceed a pound and a , half of food. He smokes cigars and chews tobacco, burt bans cigarettes. He is sixty-seven and says he is en- joying rewards of right living and moderate eating. He reads regularly 118 scientific and trade periodicals and five daily newspapers and keeps in. intimate touch with every form of human activity, including baseball, golf and the stage. “I read four lines at once,” he said. “They should teach that kind of reading in the public schools.” a . WHEN BABY SUFFERS PROM CONSTIPATION Mothers, if your baby suffers from constipation, if his little stoâ€" mach. o-r boWels are out of order, give him Baby’s’Own Tablets. They never fail to give relief, and an occasional dose will banish consti- pation and keep the stoma-ch and bowels in perfect order. Concern ing the tablets, Mrs. J. H. Gagnon, St. Simon, Que, writes: “I can- not recommend Baby’s Own Tab- lets too highly as a cure fo‘r consti- pation, as I have found them the very best medicine in the world for this trouble.” The tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from TheDr. \Vil- liams’ Mcdicine~ Co, Brockville Ont. >X< INSECT INGENUITY. _.___ There are Many Mechanics Among ' the Bees. Insects are now making their ap- pearance the garden, and there 'is no better place than a garden to study these wonderful creatures. At present a dark-colored beetleâ€"the oil-beetleâ€"may. be observed, and as soon as the bees come the larva. of this beetle contribes to get upon a bee’s body, so as to be carried away to the bee’s home, where it feeds upon the food there, and eventually leaves as a perfect bee- tle. Other kinds of beetles act as grave-diggers ; certain ants keep a dairy ;_ and there are masons, car- penters and u-phol-ste-rers among the bees. The mason-bee constructs its cell of morrtar. By dropping sla- liva on bits of earth and mixing both together, it pounds the mix- ture into a sort of cement. It then works this into the shape of a mould, inside which the female de- posits her egg. Severalsuch mor- tar 'cells may often be found lying close together. The» carpenter-bee makes .its home on decayed wood, and lines it with pieces of leaves, which it cuts off in the form of a cir- cle and adjusts so skilfully that its nest is made- waterâ€"tight, without any coating. A very ingeniously upholsterer-bee, which dexterously cuts out the petals of the half-ex- pended flowers of a poppy.
