AND GOOD HOURS These With a Tonic to Keep the Blood Pure. The power of your body to resist disease and to fight it after disease gets a foothold, is one of the most precious possessions you have. You : weaken this power when. you let your general health run down, your blood gets thin and your nerves unsteady. You weaken it when you worry, when you over-work, when you do not get sufficient sleep, and when you are under-nourished, either because you do not eat the right kind of food or because your digestion is out of order. You preserve your power to resist disease when you keep good hours and eat proper food at regular inter- vals. You further increase and strengthen resistance to disease when you build up your blood and nerves by the occasional use of a tonic like Dr. Williams Pink Pills, which are free from opiates and harmful drugs of any kind. The value of these pills as a health builder is fully shown by the experience of Mrs. E. C. Taylor, Hanover, Ont., who says: "At vari- ous times since I was a girl of fifteen I have proved the value-of Dr. Wil- ' liams Pink Pills. At that age I was In a much run down condition, suffer- ing from many of the well known symptoms of anaemia. My mother procured a supply of Dr. Williams Pink Pills, and after taking about a half dozen boxes I was restored to normal health. Again after my mar- riage, and before my boy was born, I felt miserable and again took Dr. Wil- liams Pink Pills, which once more | met all my expectations and fully re- stored my health. ence with these pills was following an attack of pleursy, which left me com- My latest experi- } MAMMOTH CAVES | 'OF THE WORLD LARGEST KNOWN ARE IN UNITED STATES. Marvels of Peak Cave in Eng- land--Norway Has the Deepest Cave. None of the peculiar formations of the earth are more interesting than caves, and many are the adventures that have been had by the explorers of these often mysterious caverns. The very word "cave" seems to have a strong attraction for everybody. Some of the best and most interest- ing stories have been written about adventures in caves, so they have al- ways -- been well advertised on our library shelves. And then we must remember that caves were the only homes of many people who lived in the undiscovered parts of the world thousands of years ago, and this in it- self adds much historical interest to these natural tunnels under the sur- face of the earth. World's Largest Cave. So far as is now known, the United States can lay claim to having the largest caves in the world, and first among these is, naturally, Mammoth Cave, Kentucky. It is only about eighty-five miles from Louisville. Up- on visiting its depths it is easy to see how the word mammoth is coupled with its natural name, for parts of it have been explored for a distance of over 150 miles and maps made so that the guides themselves can't get lost. The main body of the cave is only | about three miles long, yet parts of this section furnish the famous halls and domes, some of which are 175 feet wide and 125 feet high. pletely broken in health. Part of the time I was under the care of two doc- | tors, and for three months I was prac- | tically between life and death. Again | _at my mother's suggestion I started | the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills, -I had not been taking them long before I could tell that they were helping me. Day by day I could feel my strength returning, and was soon enjoying good health once more. ~In view of my ex- perience I think I can safely say there is nothing in the way of medi- cine better than Dr. Williams Pink Pills. Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by nll medicine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A Concise Ending. A littie boy had labored long at the task of writing an original story. He had written: "Once upon a time a man came to a town with a bear in a cage. The little boys in the town threw stones at the bear. The man grew very angry, and said: "If you don't stop throwing stones at my bear Yl Open the door of his cage and he'll rome out and eat you up!' " The little boy, growing tired, finish- ed his story as follows: "And so they did, and the man did, and the bear did!' iieep Minard's LiniIment In the houss, This great cavern has many small lakes and rivers, the best known of these being Echo River, which rever- 'berates an echo to an untold distance, | repeating the sound of your voice until |; only a whisper is heard at the last. | The fish in this and the other bodies of water are white and have no eyes. 'There are also crickets, bats, flies, beetles, spiders and other queer blind creatures to be found here, and it is interesting to watch them when they are taken out into the light. Being blind, their movements are quite slow and cautious when compared to their kind that live out in the open., In tak- ing a hike through this world's largest cave the guides light up the way so that many beautiful things can be seen, such as the Star Chamber, where the lofty ceiling is studded with snowy erystals that glisten like diamonds. When white men first discovered Mam- moth Cave they. found many stone ar- rowheads, pieces of torches and other relics which indicated that it had once been a meeting place for the Indians, and for all we know countless num- bers of war dances may have taken place in the famous Star Chamber 'just mentioned. Fingal's Cave Remarkable. The largest cave in Ireland is Fin- gal's Cave, situated on the Island of Staffa, off the coast, and originally formed by the constant washing of the waves. There is very litthe room to hike around in this cave, for most of The Weekly Fashions 9581----Ladies' Camisole Skirt (at- tached to camisole or detachable; 37 or 35-inch length). Price, 30 cents.

Fingal's Cave is 42 feet wide at the entrance, 22 feet wide at the end ard 66 feet high, which, of course, makes it seem guite small af- ter speaking of the Mammoth Cave, but it must be remembered that this the sea alone, so this fact makes it very remarkable. England and Scotland have many cayes, though most of them are small. Along the rocky coast of Scotland can be found caverns formed by the waves, put in the Peak Cave, Derbyshire, Eng- land, there is much of interest. One caves is the marvelous relics found there, Peak Cave having furnished the greater number. When first explored it contained fossil remains of rhinocer- oses, lions, hyenas and other wild beasts now found, only in parts of Asia and Africa. This seems to indicate that England was once a tropical coun- try. Stone axes, hammers and other implements also were found, showing that the people of that day lived in caves. Peak Cave is not a very large one, as it is only about a mile in length and 600 feet below the surface. The deepest cave known in the world is one found near Fredericks, hall, Norway, it being 11,000 feet. Think of it, almost two miles deep! But it ig worth the trip down into its depths, for many of the wonders of nature are to be seen there. --_----o-- "The Blood of Martyrs." More than twenty years ago a young girl named Mary Morrell offered her- self as a missionary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. Because she seemed 560 young and timid and because she had a slight impediment in her speech, the board hesitated to send her abroad, but it finally did so. When the Boxer Revolution iw China broke out, Mary Morrell and two other missionaries who had fled to a certain compound were surrounded there by the Boxers. Chinese troops had been detailed to guard the compound and ostensibly to protect the missionaries, but secretly had been told to "do noth- ing.' The tumult and threatening in- ereased.- Guns were fired and the air was filled with shouts and demands. Suddenly the grealt gates of the compound swung open, and Mary Mor- rell came forth. In a clear voice, speaking in the Chinese language, the girl who had seemed too young and timid to be a missionary said, "Why do you come here to kill us? We are your friends; we love you, and we have come from across the seas to show you the way of life. We have no other purpose than to bring you a blessing and to tell you of the good | Father who loves you and of Jesus Christ, who gave his life for you, Can you not see that we want to help you in every way and bring you the good tidings of great joy?" That day the Boxers went away amazed by the girl's courage, but the next day they returned and killed Mary Morrell and the others. To the amazement of the Chinese, the relatives of those murdered mis- sionaries are now following them to China. The old gateman still lives to whom Horace Pitkin, one of the three, intrusted a letter to his son, urging him to come to China and take up his father's work; and in answer to that last message the son, a graduate of Yale, is now a medical missionary. But most remarkable of all was the effect of Mary Morrell's testimony up- on a young Chinese soldier, who later became Gen. Feng. He was so filled with the spirit of the Master that to- day the great army.of which he be- came commander is a witness of his Christian zeal. Within a comparative- ly short time, more than one thousand soldiers were baptized on public con- fession of faith. m a ey 5 In the Train. The train has left the city, and it swings out to the country, To the lonely open spaces and the wild flowers that I love; We are speeding to the seashore, to the hilltops, and the moorlands, To the sweet air of the country and the drifting clouds above... The train has left the city for the * glory of the hillside, Where through the swaying branch- es the summer sunshine peeps; But over in the corner a lady does her knitting, And sitting here beside me an old man snores and sleeps. Their thoughts are with the city, and they find no dreaming wonder In the first glimpse-of the country and the first.sound of the sea; They do not know the hilltops, or love the lonely moorlands, | They are. children of. the city, and their hearts are never free. The train has left the city, and the country lies.around us, We swing on through the valleys, past the rivers cool and deep; We have left the gloomy city for the glory of the hillside, But the lady goes on knitting, and the old man's still asleep, A Disappointing Monarch, The obituary notes of Mrs, "General" Tom Thumb have generally - omitted the incident that attended barnum's success in inducing Queen Victoria to allow the Lilliputian 'general' to be presented to her, The little wife was allowed to ac- company hér lord, but was not per- mitted the honor of being "received." In a. gap in the conversation tho nasal comment of Mrs. Tom Thumb, who resented the discrimination, sounded from the background: ~ "My, but ain't she shabby" for a queens" re eS cavern was formed by the waves of | peculiar thing about the English Ska dc Ease. There is one language of the tongue! fand another of. the heart, and the: second is the more important. The Canadian. Tommy in France oftct | found himself unable to exchange | words--beyond the briefest greeting or the expression of the elemental needs of life--with those whom he came, from a far, strange land. But actions were louder and more intelligible than speech. © The people knew from his kindly face and 'his outheld hand that they had no- thing to fear from this Canadian sol- dier. He came not to steal or de- stroy; he came to help and to play the part of a friend. -- The traveler in a land held by sav- ages is under a constant surveillance. The. aboriginal folk are wondering whether he is the advance agent of a take what through the ages has be- longed to them and to their forbears. He is on trial, and the burden of proof rests -- "with him. If he goes with the modest, courteous, considerate de- meanor of a Farabee through Amazonia, he has nothing to fear--for he has done nothing to cre- ate fear. When Stanley went to Africa or Roosevelt traversed South America, or Kinglake made his jour- ney in the Hast, each of these voyag- ers encountered unfamiliar tongues; but there are always ways in which one human being makes himself understood by another, no matter how distant the points from which they came, 4 The variety of languages is one of the marvels and mysteries, yet be- yond the grammar and the etymology there is forever a fundamental fact-- that men are brothers in the blood, bound to help and to serve one an- other in time of need. Hunger, thirst, sickness and weakness speak for themselves. We can tell when our brother has want of our aid though his appeal is mute, or inarticulate, or in an outlandish tongue. The animal pets we make and learn to love do not talk to us--in words-- and they use no language that we recognize with one. another. "The dumb brutes," we sometimes call them. Yet when your dog stands at your knee and looks up at you, how eloquent are his eyes! His friendship proclaims itself in a speaking silence; his whole attitude is loquacious of his fondness and his loyalty. Two are friends when they have learned to interpret aright the silences that fall between them. They know that the understanding is complete and that words are unnecessary to an explanation. It is a relief when one may without reservation trust and be trusted, though nothing is said. We might, indeed, learn from our humble dependent the dog a valuable lesson of implicit faith that' does not need the medium of writing or of speech. CONSTIPATED CHILDREN Children who suffer from constipa- tion, indigestion or any of the other ailments due to a clogged condition of the bowels will find prompt relief through the use of Baby's Own Tab- lets. The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which can always be depended upon to regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach. They are absolutely safe and are sold under a guarantee to be entirely free from opiates or other injurious drugs. Concerning them Mrs. Thomas A. Boutot, Lake Baker, N.B., writes: "I am pleased to state that Baby's Own Tablets were of great help to me when my baby was suffering from constipation." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. How Balloon Felnics Are Tested. Safety in balloon voyaging obvious- ly depends primarily upon the integ- rity of the fabric, rubberized cloth, out of which the gasbag is made. An additional consideration is that a leaky fabric wastes the gas, which is expensive. Accordingly, in the building of a big dirigible, careful tests are made of the fabric that is to be used, to determine its degree of permeability to gas and its wearing quality. One of these tests consists in filing a number of little spherical balloons with hydry gen--these being made of the same fabric--and exposing them in the open air for several days. If any one of theem shows signs of leakage or other defect, the whole consignment of rubberized cloth is rejected. oy ------_$--__-- Quite Clear.

To the teacher's joy, he became brisk- ly curious about imsects, particularly moths, and said he wanted to get some books about them. One day the teach- er saw him sitting at his desk, intent- ly studying the book, but with a scowl of hopeless perplexity on his face. "What's the trouble, Tommy?" asked the teacher. _ "I went down to the library," Tom- my answered, "and got a book about insects, and I don't understand what it means, I can't make any head or tail to it." The teacher put on her most sym- pathetic and helpful expression. "What's the name of the book?" she said. In an entirely discouraged tone, he replied, "Advice to Young Moth'ers." 2 a MOTHER!
