This is tlie opinion of thcj best medical authorities after long, observation. Vital changes in thoj »}stem after lung winter months ray cause much more than 'spring weakness,' and the familiar weari- nef s and achings. Official records jiiove that in April and May neii- ralgja, St. Vitus dance, epilepsy â- n:i various forms of nervous dis- tuibances are at their worst, fjipi-eially among those who have no', reached middle age.

V»»yaBC Ki'oiu Dover (o t'npe Town iu Fbhiiii; iSmuck. On January 20, 1900, four young Yovkshiremen, who had left J)over in a lishing smack the previous J I. no, arrived at Cape Town, after co\ering a distance of 10,000 miles. Tl;ey ))urchasod a 22-ton fishing Gniack from a Dover lishernmn, and visited Maderin, Las Palmas, and the Cape Veule Islands. From there they had purposed returning (o England: but the spirit of ad- venture had gn)wn uixjn the.n, and tliey made for the hmely island of Tristan da Cunha, in the Som!i At- lantic. They received a hearty wel come from the eighty-one inhabi- tants, and found tlio strange? 'com- munity perfectly happy and thriv- iiK. though the whole island was overrun with rats, making a.^'-i- eulmre impossible.

The increasing employment of m.i •; and boys for domestic work is pointed to liy some people as a sig- niticarit sign of the times. In Lon- don, the papers of that town state, lad.s arc benig trained with conspi- cuous success to do daily work in houses, and both as cooks and 'â- housemaids'' they leave the weak- er sex far behind. Such, at least, is the testimony of the grateful housekeepers who employ them. CURED HIS LAMF BACK. Wrst Kort Williuni, Nor. 7tli. ;908.

EVERY DAY BRINGS A FRESH PROOF THAT DOUD'S KID^KV PILLS ARE A BOON TO SI F- FEIUNG WOMKN. Mrs. Rousseau Tells How They Cured Uor After Throe Years of Almost Ceaseless I'aln. Hintonburg, Ont., May 2 (Special).â€" Every day furnishes fresh proof that the women of Can- <ida can be cured of ailments which have hitherto seemed to be a part of the inheritance of the sex by the U.50 of Dodd's Kidney Pills. And this place has a living proof in the lierson of Mrs. William Rousseau, of 3" Merton Street. "F"or over three years," Mrs. Rousseau states, "I was very ill. My troubles were painful. I sufferc;l very much with my back. My head ached almost continuously and I scarcely knew what it was to be fie? from pain. I was very weak ane! run down. Occasionally my | hands would swell up, and this, too, I pave me a great deal of annoyancs and discomfort. I began to usej Dcdd's Kidney Pills and very soon j commenced to improve. Three i boxes cured ine completely." j Nine-tenths of suffering women's troubles start from diseased kid- neys. The natural way to cure them is to take away the cause, that is, to cure the kidneys. Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure diseased kidneys. Paint Without Oil Ry U8ine Powdr Paint you ran turn out AH gofid work as a eontrncting painter.

Ontario is certainly going to play a very prominent part in the fu- ture of the Milling industry in Canada. And so it is that we find that the mv.v big Ontario milling con.vrn which will be known as the Maple Leaf Milling Co., Limited, and will absorb the Maple Leaf Flour Mills C(., Ltd., and with it the Hedley Sliaw Milling Co., has already under way the construction of a 6.000-barrel mill, a million bushel ele\ator, and storage warehouse out on the new piers that have been constructed at Port Colborne. Naturally it takes a pile of money t.) carry thr<jugh such big under- takings, and the men who arc at the head of the new Company, in- cluding Mr. C'awthra Mulock, of Toronto ; Mr. Hedley Shaw, foun- df!"- and head of the Hedley Shaw Milling Co., and Mr. D.

The movement in favor of crema- tion in F^ngland continues to make slow but steady progress, writes tie London correspondent of the New York Medical Journal. Dur- ing 1903 the number of cremations carried out in Great Britain was 8;'i5, an advance of sixty as coni- paied with 1908. The first crematorium in Eng- l&i'<l was opened at Woking in 1883 and the total number of cremations since that time is 8,121. There arc now altogether thirteen crematoria in Great Britain and this number will probably soon be increased. The Cremation Society of England has been very active in its propa- ganda work and public interest is shiwly being aroused. Recently a cremation society was formed in Edinburgh. The object of the society is to promote the practice of cremation and burial re- form by means of meetings, lec- tures and publications or other- wise. There are already about 180 numbers, including many well known persons. YES, INDEED. Hostess (at party)â€"Why so si- lent, Miss de Muir?
