GUARD BABY'S HEALTH IN THE SUMMER The summer month* are the most dangerous to little ones. The com- plaints of that eason which are cholera infantum, colic, diarrhoea and dysentery come on so quickly that often a little one is beyond aid before the mother realizes he is really ill. The mother must be on her guard to prevent these troubles or if they do come on suddenly to cure them. No other medicine is of such aid to uhe mother during hot weather as ifi Baby's Own Tablets. They regulate the bowels and sto- mach and are absolutely safe. Sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. FORTUNE TELLER'S SECRET. What Happened When She Told the Geisha. A fortune-telling woman named Hatsu, who has a place of business in a email shelter in Theatre Street. Yokohama, told a geisha, whose name was not made public, on Mon- day that a great fire would occur in the Theatre Street district next week* Wednesday or Thursday, and that the whole district would be wiped out, says the Japan Adver- tiser. The far-seeing fortune teller told the geisha to be sure and tell no one else, as it was a valuable secret. The secret cost the geisha half a yen. Then there happened the following: The geisha got her trunks and boxes together and packed up what she could conveniently get into them. She sold for a song all the trinkets and gifts which c.re pre- sumed to be so plentiful in her pro- fession, and disposed of a lease upon desirable quarters that she had worked for years to obtain. The neighboring women stood around and watched the proceed- ings, much disturbed with curiosity. They asked questions, but were not told the reason. "Go see Matsu," replied the girl. On Thursday the geisha had all her earthly possess'' ins transferred from her residence to a godown, acrofcs the front of which there were printed in large red letters: "Fireproof." The neighbors who had suspended their labo- s for sev- eral days trooped down the street after the luggage when it left the geisha's house and were amazed to find where it had been placed. Therefore a number immediately consulted Matsu, who knew the value of a secret. As a result some fifty families who reside in the district were startled when the female members came dashing home with the awful hews of the approaching conflgra- tion and they began packing up the family possessions preparatory to leaving. One innocent and harmless hus- band protected, but was squelched, so he in'ormed the police. The po- lice called to investigate the exo- dus. They discovered the cause and endeavored to laugh the fright- ened natives out of their scare, but to no purpose. A large portion of the population of one block of Theatre Street near the western end have- removed their chattels and have ceased labor and industry while awaiting the conflagration. YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE A CHANCE. If you go across the ocean, your ship is liable to sink. True enough, but if you travel on land your train is liable to be wrecked. If you just jimmy around the home town, your automobile is liable to blow up or throw a tire and preci- pitate you quickly into a ravine on your elbows and shoulder blades. If you go buggy riding your horse is apt to shy at a piece of paper in the road and kick you into the mid- dle of the following week. If you go out walking an auto- mobile is liable to scramble you up or a footpad is liable to tap you suddenly yet firmly upon the dome of thought. But if you sit still at home a hun- dred things are liable to happen you. You may have a fit, some weary wayfarer may come along and sell you a lot of Turkish rugs, lightning may strike the house, and then there is always the possibility of an earthquake. At the very beet you have got to take a chance whether you want to or not. HOW MANY OP US Fail to Select Food Nature De- mands to Ward Off Ailments? . A Ky. lady, speaking about food, says: "I was accustomed to eating all kinds of ordinary food until, for some reason, indigestion and nerv- ous prostration set in. "After I had run down seriously my attention was called to the ne- cessity of eome change in my diet, and I discontinued my ordinary breakfast and began using Grape- Nuts with a good quantity of rich cream. "In a few days more my condition changed in a remarkable way, and I began to have a strength that I had never been possessed of before, a vigor of bo<i> and a poise of mind that amazed me. It was entirely new in my experience. "My former attacks of indiges- tion had been accompanied by heat flashes, and many times my condi- tion was distressing with blind spells of dizziness, rush of blood to the head and neuralgic pains in the chest. "Since using Grape-Nuts alone for breakfast I have been free from these troubles, except at times when I have indulged in rich, greasy foods in quantity, then I would be wanted by a pain under the left shoulder blade, and unlees I heeded the warning the old trouble would come back, but when I finally got to know where these troubles ori- ginated I returned to my Grape- Nuts and cream and the pain and disturbance left very quickly. "I am now in prime health ae a result of my use of Grape-Nuts." Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont.

COLORS WHICH REPEL FLIES. Hints for Those Who Wish to Rid Themselves of the Pests. If you want to drive away flies have the walls of your rooms paper- ed of painted blue, pale violet, dark brown, or lemon yellow. The advice is based on the out- come of experiments made by a French scientist and recounted by Dr. L. O. Howard, Ph.D.. a well- knov>n American public health au- thority, in his just published book, "The House Fly." To test the effect of color on the flies a b<jx with glass walls was pro- cured, and the walls were pasted with bits of paper, all of the same size, but of different colors. The number of flies standing on the different colors were counted, the result being as follows: Clear green 18 Rose 17 Clear yellow 14 Dark grey 9 White 9 Dark red 8 Black 7 Dark yellow 5 Red 4 Orange 3 Pale rose 3 Very clear green 2 Blue 1 Pale violet 1 Dark brown 1 Lemon yellow 1 Dr. Howard mentions some use- ful ways of repelling flies.

London Mill Be Shown. In Minia- ture When It Is Completed. If all goe well and there are] no serious delays, three or four years" hence the London County Council will have completed what it is believed will be the moet won- derful map in the world. Seven- teen years have already been con- sumed in its preparation, and $85,- 000 has been expended on research and labor connected with it. A fur- ther expenditure of about $25.000 is looked forward to with equani- mity by the authorities. The great map will peally consti- tute a twentieth century London edition of England's famous Domesday Book. For it will show practically every building in the 116 square miles that 'go to make up Greater London, setting forth, as far as possible, the more important owners. It has often been said that Lon- don was owned by a few great land- lords, such as the Duke of West- minster, Lord Howard de Walden. Lord Cadogan, the-Duke of Bed- ford. and the Duke of Norfolk. That is, of. course, true in a gen- pral way, but this map shows that there are no fewer than 36.000 private owners who each possess enough property to make a notice- able showing on its face. The map will not be issued to the* public, but is really being prepared j for the use of the County Council itself. Although its cost has been enormous, it has already paid for itself by providing immediate data in street widening and improve- ment cases in which the County Council was concerned. It is being dr>wn to the scale- of five square feet to the square mile, so that the completed map, which, of course, will be made in sections, will mea- sure 580 x 580 teet, or 1-82 of a square mile in area. T Further extension is being made to their shipyard by Messrs. Caird & Co., Greenock. The average annual output of the world in rubber is 90.000 tons, valued at fr00,000,000. i. STRANGE BISK. Lloyds Will Insure a Girl Against Elopement. They will take- any risk at Lloyds. It should be understood that thia great corporation has nothing to do with it, but that the brokers issue the policies as individuals. Here are a few specimens of risks actual- ly insured : The uncle of a rich heiress took out a policy for ten thousand guin- eas against her eloping with a cer- tain man before a specified date. Ho paid a thousand guineas prem- ium and the girl did not elope, so the broker was in a thousand guin- eas. A young man sued by a girl for damages for breach of promise to marry eight hundred guineas for a policy covering any amount of mon- ey the jury might award to the plaintiff. It gave her seven hun- dred pounds, so the broker made more than a hundred pounds pro- fit. A cablegram arrived at the office of -a ship owner stating that one of his steamers was on the rocks in a dangerous place. The owner took out a policy for 5,500. to be paid to him if the ship was lost. He paid for this a premium of o,000. The ship was saved so he lost the money. * WONDERFUL PROGRAMME.

Grown old in the service of his master and mistress, James was a privileged retainer. He was waiting at table one day, when a guest politely asked for a fish fork. Strangely enough, the request was ignored. Then the hostess noticed the epi- sode, and remarked in a most per- emptory manner : "James, Mrs. Jones hasn't a fish fork. Get her one at once! 1 ' "Madam," came the emphatic re- ply, "last time Mrs. Jones dined here we lost a fish fork." James hiie now been relegated to the garden. 0.7.
