1 1 young folks rheumatism mystery the baby hear there was much excitement in the lumber camp the day that roger went here with his uncle henry it had been a long triyi through the woods and they were cold when they reached the eamp but there was a roaring cre at which to warm themselves and as they stood round it they heard the men who had come in from their woik in the woods for dinner talking about a bear that they had killed in her winter den yf am sorry for the little bear said one man he was roughlooking but he spoke in a kindly tone that made roger like him at once what became of it asked the other man i brought it to the camp in my pocket it is over in that box an swered the first man pointing to a corner of the camp lying in the box on some rags was the baby bear a helpless little creature no larger than a kitten whimpering softly and feeling round blindly with its nose how little it is exclaimed roger who had half expected to be afraid of a baby bear yes said the man i have heard that compared with its size when it is full grown a baby bear is the smallest of all animals this fellow weighs less than a pound i dont know what we can do with it oh let me have it cant i take it home burst out roger speaking to the lumberman and to his uncle at the same time the lumberman was much more willing to part with the helpless crea ture than uncle henry was to have roger adopt such a pet at last how ever uncle henry gave in and when they rode home in the afternoon the little bear went with them carefully wrapped up from the cold and nest ling in a small basket under the heavy robes aunt mattie was indeed surprised when roger opened the basket in the kitchen but her heart was quickly touched by the helplessness of the little creature of the forest that had lost its mother what can- we do with it how can we feed it she asked they soon settled the food question they took an old nursing bottle that aunt mattie found where it had been laid away many years before filling it with warm m of the rubber tube into mouth and it took its a hungry baby would t at first the little h of the time between its not grow half fast en 4 k5yes opened and roger who had been studying a book on animals knew that it was then five weeks old after that it soon began to be playful and in a few weeks as it sat up and peered round with its shining beadlike eyes it looked for all the world like a live black teddybear it was full of mis chief and spent much of its time tumbling across the floor after the clumsy fashion of a puppy and look ing for something to upset or for a morsel to eat they named it ursus which roger found is the latin word for bear as spring came on ursus then several months old became more and more active and intelligent usually he was full of goodnatured fun and even when his temper was bad he did noth ing worse than to sulk a little no boy ever had a better time with a pet than roger had with ursus during that spring and summer youths companion saves many wounded canal barges used as french army ambulances twelve barges on the french canals are being used to carry many wound ed men from the trenches to hospit als in the rear with great success so quiet is the operation of the barges which are tewed along the waterways that many critically wounded men have been saved by the restful method of transportation the barges originally french transport boats are about 150 feet long by 20 j feet wide the interiors havo been altered to suit the requirements of the ambulance service thirty cots are placed in two long rows with a broad i passageway between affording as airy and sanitary a ward as in any hospital or sick bay aboard a ship there is also a kitchen and a dy namo room where current for the lighting system is generated here too there arc accommodations for twelve privates and petty officers in the forward part of the barge are quarters for four sisters who act an nurses and a fully equipped dispen sary the barges move from one dress- inf station to another taking on fjdard thp more serious cases nnd then arc towed back to the base the success of the barges has been so marked that more are being con structed a

this evening inless rooted out of the system it grows worse and worse some diseases give immunity from another attack but rheumatism works just jhe other way every attack of rheumatism invites another worse than that it reduces the bodys power io that each attack is worse than the one before if any disease needs cur ing early it is rheumatism but there are few diseases physicians find more difficult to treat successfully wet weather does not cause rheumatism as was once thought though weather con ditions may start the aches and pains rheumatism is now known to be de pendent upon the blood condition and medical authorities agree that the blood becomes thin with alarming rapi dity as rheumatism develops main taining the quality of the blood is therefore a reasonable way of pre venting and curing rheumatism that it works out in fact is shown by the beneficial results which follow a fair use of dr williams pink pills these pills actually make new rich blood which drives out the rheumatic poison and while the blood is kept in this condition there is no danger of the trouble returning mr w t pell palermo ont says i was attacked with a trouble which was ultimately pronounced rheumatism often i was barely able to crawl into bed and sel dom able to do a full days work in this condition i doctored for a year absolutely getting no better then i consulted another doctor whose chief consolation was that unless i could get rid of the trouble i would be a cripple for life he prescribed diet ing and i doctored with him for at least six months but instead of get ting relief i became weaker and less able to get around then i decided to try a doctor in toronto and was under his treatment for about four months with no better results i gave up the doctors and tried other reme dies which were equally futile then one day our store keeper sent me a box of dr williams pink pills saying that if they did not help me 1 need not pay for them i took them and then got some more and found they were helping me i probably used 10 00 worth before i felt fully cured but they did cure me and were cheap as compared with the other treatments which did not help me the cure was fears ago and i have of rheumatism since nd strong and i be- dr williams pink pilh through any cine aai pa at 50 cents a box m s250 from the drl mellcme co brockville onti drinlc w very few

to drink water wheneve der the impression that too much water is bad for it in every way this is only correct if the child is very hot simply because the sudden chill on an overheated frame is very liable to set up ill effects and applies equally to anything cold apart from this there is really no need to limit the quantity consumed by a child and the average amount that an adult should drink daily should be roughly three pints it is necessary as a cleanser for all the internal organs as much as a bath is for tho exterior of the body and yet there are people who consider the fact that they
