PAGE TEN SANDERSON 15 Declares Tanlac Put Him on His Feet With New Life, Strength and Energy. "Yes, sir, I can recommend Tan-| lac because it has put me back om) my féet with new life, strength and ! energy," said Samuel Sanderson, of | 1018 Retallack street, Regina, Sask., | 8 few days ago. : i "A Mttle over a year ago I had a | Severs attack of the 'flu' that was | $0 bad it Kept me off work for seven | months," continued Mr, Sanderson, "1 wag in a weakened, miserable con- dition, couldn't get any sttength, and 1 was troubled with a chronic cough, My appetite went back on me and the Mttle I did manage to force down did | That's what holes are for. more harm 'than good, and I could hardly retain a thing I had eaten. After I got back at work I would get #0 short of breath I would give out and have to stop and rest. At night I was very restless and would cough #0 bad that I couldn't sleep and many a time I woke up all during the night, "But things are exactly the op- Joane since I have begun taking Tan- ac, and I have improved so much that I am feeling like a new man. I bave a fine appetite now and what 1 eat does not bother me any more and I have no trouble refalnigs ev- erything I eat. My cough i{s"much better and I don't know what it is to lie awake, for I can sleep like a! log from the time I go to bed till the | time I get up. I can do my work | without getting short of breath and I | don't get tired except in a matural | way. Tanlac has built me up in ev- ery way and I am gaining in strength right along and I think the change that has come over me is remarkable. 1 canmot say enough for Tanlac and At will always be a plesure for me to recommend it highly."

Better than all the so-called "hair tonics" in the world is a simple, old- fashioned home recipe consisting of plain Bay Rum, Lavona (de Com- posee) and a little Menthol Crystals. These three mixed at home in a few minutes, work wonders with any gealp. Try it just one night and see. Get from your druggist 2 oz. Lavona, 6 oz. Bay Rum and 3% drachm Men- 1 Crystals. Dissolve the Crystals the Bay Rum and pour in 8 oz. 'bottle. Then add the Lavona, shake "well and let it stand for an hour be- "fore using. Apply it by putting a little of the mixture on a soft cloth. Draw this cloth slowly through the hair, taking just one small strand at a time. This cleanses the hair and scalp of dirt, dust and excessive oil and makes the hair delightfully soft, lustrous ahd fluffy. To stop the hair from falling and to make it grow again rub the lotion briskly into the scalp with the finger tips or a med- fum stiff brush. = Apply night and morning. A few days' use and you will not find a single loose or strag- gling hair. They will be locked on your heads as tight as a vise. Dan- druff will disappear. You will find downy new hairs sprouting up all over your scalp and this new hair will grow with wonderful rapidity. * Any druggist can sell you the . above. The prescription is very in- . expensive and we know of nothing so effective and certain in its re- sults. . IFKIDNEYSACT BADTAKESALTS Says Backache is Sign You Have 4 Been Eating Too Much Meat. : Waen you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney reg- fon it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known authority.

And down in the hole there was a room and another man fixing something. Is there a room under every manhole in the street" What was man using a pump for?" : "The pump was to send in fresh air to keep the man inside from being suffocated sewe, while he fixed the pipes or cleaned the sewer. "Although you perhaps do not know it, there is under & city street, a net- work of pipes aad sometimes tunnels in which you can walk for blocks. When they build a subway-railroad in a large city, it sometimes to untangle the under-the-pavement pipes and move them aside than to d the subway. The manholes are neede to fix the pipes because the pavement may be two 'feet thick--a solid mass of rock, cement, or other material, with asphalt, wood, or bricks on top "Under the pavement, there is a ways a service sewer--a big clay-tile pipe to carry sewage from buildings-- with a branch or lateral leading to each building. There is also a storm sewer, perhaps a concrete tunnel, to take away water when it rains. h is a water main--a large cast iron pipe, with small leadpipe laterals for cach building. The gas company has mains, too, with house laterals. In some cities, telephone cables are placed underground, and in a few cities steam or refrigerator pipes carry heat or cold to customers. All are down at least 4 feet to be below the frost line. = = ZZ "In our city, where most of the pipes are owned by the city, the sys- tem is simple. In old cities like New York and Boston, where these, 'utili ties' were once owned many se arate companies, there is a veritable network of private pipe-lines. It is safe to ay that in some cities, if a downtown block were filled with costly automobiles, their value would not equal the money represented by the many pipes running under the 'pave. ment on which they are parked." (Boys! Tomorrow read how to become a Veterinary.) Copyright, 1920, by J. BH. Milley Poor Little Fellow. The following by an un- known author, is one which will appeal to all school children, as well as to grown-up people who often look back with regrets and longings to their own school days. Poor little fellow, your case is sad, You must go to school when you'd like to play, And you want to be old like your doting dad, Who may come and go in his own sweet way; And yQu seldom have traveled on railroad trains, And Dever alone you may wander ar. You long to be done with your grow- ing pains And get 'off there where the big men are. Poor little fellow, your life is hard, There arq so many things that you may not do; So many pathways to you are barred And so many rules that are made for you; Oh, you see men come and you see them go, Old and battered and worn and gray. And to win the freedom you think they know You would fling all of your youth away. Poor little fellow, time was that I Looked out on the world through the self-same eyes, And the years seemed long and I wondered why I couldn't be old and grown and wise; Then 1 Used to dream of the days to And the joys I'd chim and the things I'd do When the years had fashioned a man of me-- Now I'd give them all to be just ike you. : Poor little fellow, don't sigh for age, For the years are swift and their cares are great; Bitter the battles that men must 'wage, As grown-ups learn when it's all too late: Oh soon, too' soon, shall you come to see When the work of the world shall be yours to do, Why there's aster a maa but would A poor little fellow once more like you. 2 Central School. William Shakespeare. & William Shakespeare was born In 1564. The date of his birth is not certain, but 4s supposed April 23. He was baptized on .April 26. There were many stories about. his cha- racter. , He was born and lived till after his marriage at Stratford, a place in England besitle the river Avon. Shakespeare's early life was passed in happy and comfortable circum- stances. His father was a glover by trade, and belonged to an old Yeo- man family. He also dealt in wool, meat and farm produce. Being a prosperous man and owning land: in Stratford, he became alderman and high bailiff of that district. His wife Was Mary Arden, and they had seven children. William was their third on. He attended the Stratford Grammar School with his brother Gilbert. "At sixteen he left school to help his father, who had lost his high positions and had become poor. When only eighteen he married Anne Hathaway, a girl who lived at Shottery. She was eight years older than her husband. They had three children, one son, Hamnet, and two daughters, Judith and Susanna. Susanna was his favorite child. He left the greater part of his fortune to her. He went to London about 1586 to find work in a theatre. He finally became an actor, and soon gained success. He began to write about 1588, and his talent soon won him fame. A few years later he was rich, and among his works was the fam- ous "Romeo and Juliet," "A Comedy of Errore" and "Love's Labor Lost." He was the most famous and honored man of his day. He wrote the "Merry Wives of Windsor" at Queen Elizabeth's request. He was also honored by James I., in whose reign he produced some of his best tragedies. He wrote about thirty-five plays. Hg retired from London about the year 1611 to Strat- ford, and died there on April 23, 1616.--Ethelyn Burke. Japan's Ice Cream, In Japan the children do not go into a decorated tea room and order a sundae or even plain ice cream. In- stead of these kind of dishes, the Japanese have raw ice served in what they call "korimizu" fashion. The Japanese children delight in small cakes of ice broken in pieces and mixed with sugar and some favorite flavoring. Or sometimes have a bit of ice shaved in snowy flakes and seasoned with sugar and fruit juice, which is much to their Uking. It anything else is added to the shaved ice the dish is just as pleasing as a banana gplit or double chocolate is to the average boy or girl of Canada. That the children of Japan enjoy the sweetened shaved ice is not so strange to us as only a few years ago in London, England, there was street veudors selling this stuff for a penny. They called it hoky-poky. But what is strange to us is that they prefer their sweetened lces to our ice cream. However, we are told that they are learning to like ice cream, although they still enjoy fice served in the "korimizu" fashion.--Emily Hors fall, aged 12. i Sr --_------ A Ghost Story, A man owned a house in a village, but he did mot live in it because it wag haunted. Ope day a man came to buy this house to live in himself, but the owner told him it was haunt- ed, and when he went to shave a hand would come out from behind the looking glass and shove the razor 80 as to cut his throat. . "Well, I will take the house any- way," sald the man. "You will be killed," said the owa- er. "My whiskers are getting long, and I will have to shave," sald the man to himself one day after living in the house for a long time. He go} every- thing ready and started to shave, when all of a sudden he seemed to hear a door opening, and he looked about, but did not ses any door open or anyone come in. Yet all the time he had a feeling that there was some one there, "Ah! I am only imagining things," he said to himself. All at once a hand seemed to come from behind the glass and shove the razor. "Stung, it is a Gillette safety razor, and you did not cut my throat," cried the man to the ghost. He was always safe after his first experience. -- Marion Asselstine, senior fourth, Central school.

We have in Kingston a public lib- rary, from which we get books both for boys and girls. They have them all piled neatly on shelves, above which is marked whom they are for, the girls or boys. The price Jor Juvenile books is twenty-five cents for twenty-five books. You can go over to the shelves and pick out the book you want, and you then take it over to the desk, and the girl or Mrs, Kennedy will mark it on your card. You are allowed to keep the book two weeks (which is plenty time to read it), and at the end of this time you return the book, or they will tine you two cents for each day after it is out the two weeks. There are many books which would help you along in school, both in history and geography, whioh you ean have free.--Dalsy Henry. St. Mary's School. The Autobiography of a Calendar. Three years ago I was owned bya farmer in southern Ireland near Cork in the form of flax-seed. About the twentyseventh of May nineteen seventeen, I was sowed in a fertile field in my owners farm. This field contained about seven acres of favor- able soil for flax growing. The land being rica and having an abundance of rainfall I grew well. In about three months I was cut and put in bunches to dry. After I had become perfectly dry I was taken to cork to be manufactured. I didn't like this trip very well The men stuck forks in me to get me on the wagons and then I was tramped and a large pole squeezed on me 80 I wouldn't fall off. The wagon was rough and I didn't have a very pleasant ride. I was then un- loaded in the linen mills where I was badly hurt. I was put in a machine that cut me up into thin strips. I was then Dut on an elevator and taken to an- other part of the mill. There I was put into' a large zinc vat containing a blue mixture which I learned af- terwards to be dye. When I was ta- ken out I was a blue color and was hung up in a dry place where I dried. The next step of my manufacture was the weaving. I was elevated to another part of the building where I was all put together again. I was put on rollers and taken to the loom where I was rolled together. When I was taken out I was a large roll of Irish linen. I was then shipped to. Canada in the form of linen and was sold for a high price. I was then taken off the rumbling cars which I was glad to leave and placed on a shelf in a large store in Guelph. Mahy people admired and envied me but upon consulting their pockets found it im- possible to buy me. I was later bought however and was made into a beautiful dress. I was taken to a dressmaker who cut me in several pieces and when I was sewed togeth- er I was a dress. The lady that bought me was very proud and I looked well when she wore me. I often became soiled and when I did I was taken to the Long Sing laundry and made as clean and beautiful as ever. After two years of wear I became nearly worn out and was sold to a rag man for a few cents. I was put in an old bag slong with some other rags which were very dirty. After a long ride in a car I arrived at a pa- per mill where I was made into a beautiful calendar. A merchant admiring mie purchas- ed me for his design for the coming year. Hundreds of others like me were made. We were then wrapped up carefully and put on a ear. After about three days ride we arriv at Guelph. We were unloaded off the car in a large truck in which we went very quickly to my owner's store. I now remain on the counter ready to be given to one of my own- ers customers.--Francis Breault St, Mary's School. The Obedient Horse. There was a wealthy man who owned a very intelligent horse. At his master's command the horse would obey him. It happened one day while this man was out for a horseback ride that he was going through a grape grove. He noticed some lovely grapes hanging from the vines. He wanted to have some, so he drove up under an over hanging vine. As the grapes were high from his reach he stood upon the saddle to get some. All of a sudden a thought came to his mind and he said "What if I say get up". I would be in a very bad position and would likely be thrown into the thorn bushes and the this- tles. Unfortunately he repeated his words a little louder than he should, The obedient horse responded when he heard his master's command, "Get up". He lost his balance and tumbled into the thistles and thorn bushes. The horse kept on going till it reached home. When the master's servants saw the horse with itd emp- ty saddle, they immediately began to' search and later found their master in the thorns and thistles, They picked him up and treated his scrat- ches. Then he sald 'the next time I express my mind I won't stand on my horse's saddle to say it."--Rene 8t. Mary's School. -------- Ve Christmas Vacation. I think I like my Christmas vaca- fon best of ali, there are so many sports 'that we boys all enjoy. When : i i i i i i i i Do you think that since horses have been replaced by automobiles there is no longer any need for veterinaries? 1f you do think that way about it, forget that idea now. e cows which Jive the milk you ut on your breakfast food have to ected frequently by a veteri- nary in order to protect you from disease. The cattle which are killed to furnish the meat you eat are, or should be, inspected a veterinary, © that you can be sure that meat is t to eat. The foot and mouth disease is just about as dangerous to your health and comfort as the "flu" itself. A veterinary ought to have just about as much training as the physician that takes care of you--perhaps more. You are able to tell what your symptoms | are but an animal cannot. Think thege facts over before vou turn down the veterinary profession as a life work. It is interesting; it is important; it is needed. The boy who thinks of going into veterinary work should first get a high school education and a college education, with special work in chem- istry and biology, if possible. The old idea that an eighth-grader was ready for a veterinary school is a thing of the past. Then he should go to a good school of veterinary medicine. Most state agricultural colleges, as well as a considerable number of univer- sities, have such schools. The Bureau of Animal Husbandry, Washington, D. C., should be able to inform you as to the best school to attend, After haduation you may set up in ractice, just as other physicians do. (ou may enter the service of the state or Federal Government. Much inspec- tion and research work along the line of the prevention of animal diseases is done by the government. Or you , may become attached to some great stock raiser or a group of stock | raisers as veterinary for their flocks | or herds. (Next cay find out about Groundhog Day. Copriisnt, 03 ; by J. BH. Millar there is plenty of snow we take the toboggan over to Queen's hill and | occasionally to the fort which is some distance from our place. We had a hockey game a week ago Monday. At first the other team | scored one then we scored two. At the end of the first period the score was four to two: Then they scored another, and the final score was se- ven to two. It was quite of an excit- ing gathe. I had a large snow fort built in our yard and a big supply of snow- balls ready for an attack from the boy in the next yard who also has a fort. One day when we were making snow balls a snow ball landed in the fort we pretty soon put our men in battle array; half of them went home crying. The second week of my vaca- tion I was invited to my cousins' farm. He has a dog that he can har- ness to a sleigh.

Ragged little Tom Brown had been committed to the Children's Ald, where he was immediately given a bath, clean clothes, had his hair washed and out short. His old Clothes were burned. As his ade- nolds interfered seriously with his breathing, they were removed. When he had recovered from the operation the matron noticed that there was an unusually big and disfiguring wart at the end of his thumb. "Tom," she said, "I'll see that this wart is re moved to-day." A look of absolute disgust spread over Tom's face. "Gosh!" he exclaimed.
