"I may state that tor the last three yeaxa I haTe not been feeling aa I ehould. I have been uikder the care of our pfayMclan. He informed me that I wowUl not improve unitil I took a chance of oUmate. My symptoma were that I waa tired out e<u»Uy. palHd, short of breath. On going upstairs I bad a rajdd heart action and a weak feeling. If I entered a warm room I became hot and clammy. Black spots would floeit before my eyee, and I had Bilarp paina in nny head. I did not Bleep well at night and would toee around in bed. My appetHe was fickle and poor.

I lost In weight and in epirits. My husband came home one evening aa>king, as he usually did, how I was feeling, and at my answer said, 'Well, try these," and he handed me a box of Dr. Witliams' pink PlUfl. He said, 'try them any- bow. They may help you.' I did try them and they surely gave me quick results. By the time I had taken four boxes I can honestly say I felt tike a different person. I could hardly realr Ize It myself. People I met would say, 'Why, you look eiHendid. What have you been taking?' My reply would be that I had been taking Or. WiUiams' Pink Pills, and their answer usually was, 'Well, they certainly have heli)ed you.' I now sleep well and eat well. The terrible sharp pain has left my head. I do my work and feel toned up. My color has re>turned, and the pills have given me new vitality. I am deeply thankful that my husband brought me the flret box of Dr. Williams' Fink Pili^R.

The word mausoleum had a peculiar origin. In the year 353 B. C. King Mausoleus was the ruler of Carta. Hia wife was not only very beautihi'. but she was devoted to her husban.l and when he died her grief was so great that after his body had been burnt; J to ashes she collected the aehes. mixed them with wine and drank the whole thing. She then erected such a won- derful monument to his memory that It became the seventh wonder of the world and, on account of the name, be- came known as the Mausoleum.

If you ever thluk about the workinc man and the time be is away from his job what do you iinagine is the chief cause? Accidents? Well, accidents do occur, but in Ontario, they cause only slightly more than one day's ab- sence for each working man each year. Sickness? Yes, slcknese causes more absence â€" six times more â€" than aochlent» among the workers of On- tario. Six days per man per year Is the toll which sickness takes fi-om the industrial population of this Province, the money cost of which is paid out of the worker's family pocket book. Actual experience has sbown that one- half of Ontario's Ices under this head- ing is needless and absolutely pre- ventable. The factory and the home can share in the work of reducing this sickness bill. "Common colds" and "indiges- tion" are responsible for much of this absence from duty and consequent loss of pay. Certain iriauts in the Pro- vince have cut lost time due to sick- ness by one-halt through healtli super- vision. The wife can hold up her end of the good work by providing iu the home raealfi a diet that will give plenty of nourls'hment and be proof again£t indigestion. For the meals, which must be taken at the p-int, she may use a lunch box aud thermos bottle to advantage in sending appetizing, healthful food, Including one hot dish: soup, stew, creamed vegetable, cocoa, etc. The worker is his own best helper in protecting hiimself against colds â€" not a difficult matter if he (1) Keeps iu good health. (2) Eats "wisely but not too well" and avoide constipation. (3) Keepe away from people who have colds. (4) Gets suflioient i-est and takes daily exercise outdoors.

TeMing the seasons in the ojden days was not Buch an unromantlc pro- cedure as it is to-day. We tick off the days and months with a blue pencil, but the ancients used to calculate by the moon. it ie said that Noah used the early Egyptian calendar of a- flve-month year, thirty days to the month, and each month three weeks of ten daya. Sticks, tied In bundles, was the tn- variable way of telling the day and season with the grea/ter part of the ancient world, and ev«i to-day come American Indians keep five bunldes of thirty sticks, pulling out one stick for each day. The last bundle Is repeated in each half year to level things up, and the middle bundle is split in two to Judge the approach of mid-summer or mid>-winter, as the case may be. In the South Sea Islands the "moon stick" is used to determine the sea- sons. A notch Is cut in the stick after each passing moon. Far-off Borneo usee a picturesque calendar consisting of various lengths of tattooed poles. The Dyaks have a custom whereby they tell the seaflon by the length of the sun's shadow. Calendar makers tour the country in the season of sowing and plant these colored poles on the various farmfi. By u system of queer calculation they ad- just these poles to a certain length shadow, and tell the native farmer that he has to cut his crop when the shadow reaches anotber length, mark- ed on the ground. Invariably this shadow marking proves remarkably accurate and succet~sful, and at the due time the calendar maker makes another tour of the farms to receive his payment of pert of the crop. Some Egyptologists ckiini that the famous Sphinx Is nothing more than an as^trouomical device for telling the seasons. The shadows cast by sun- rise and sunset were taken as the de- termining factor iu telling the three seasons of spring, summer an.i win- ter Jeweb. The silvery dewdrops that iu autumn light- I'r.on the moors, must -surel.v jewels be: I'\)r there they haug aid over hill and lea Strung on the threads the spiders weave so tight. â€" Translated from the Japiinese of .\sayaiu b.v Ba»il Hall Chamberlain.

Colds Are Not Necessary Evils Observance of One Funda- mental Rule of Health Pro- tects Against Them | Whether one catches cold' easily is largely a question of physical condi- tion. H the general viulity is low, resistance to disease is weak and at such a time a cold is easy to contract and difficult to check. Constipation is frequently the cause of such a state of h*'alth, with its atten- dant listlessness, biliousness, headaches and a general lack of vit.ility. Poisons from the waste matter that remains behind after improper, irregular bowel elimination are picked up by the bUwd and carried to every part of the body. They weaken your resistance to disease. 'Thousands of people who ha\-e suf- fered from self-poisoning in this way have found that NuM. the internal lubricant makes bowel elimination sure and easy. Nujol softens the waste matter and pprmits thorough and regular elimina- tion without overtaxing the intestinal muscles. NujtA can be taken for any length of time with no ill effects. It you Uke cold easily, ask >-our drumist for Nujol to-dajâ€" and remem- ber, took for the name "Nujol" in red on both bottle aad package.
