........... Southerners Slow to ■J Use Electrical Devices A DOCTOR’S PRAISE A Noted Doctor Strongly En dorses Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. The test of any remedy lies in its acceptance and employment by the qualified medical practitioner. No less an authority than Dr. Andrea Amici, physician to tho Papal house hold, writing on the subject of anae mia, impoverishment of the nervous system and * disorders attributable thereto,, strongly endorses I>r. Wil liams’ Pink Pills, recommending them as superior to othei* tonics. Dr, Amici's testimony reads as fol lows;—“For several years I have made use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills in my work and I have always found thorn efficacious in tho treatment of disorders due to inmoverishment of the nervous system, anaemia and neurasthenia, stomach weakness, re tarded development in young women, and irregularities. There is is no lack el’ tonic remedies, but in my experi ence no one of them manifests a su perior efficacy to that of Dr. Williams’ Transforming the Zuider Zee Holland Undertakes Gigantic Task, to .Increase .Her Farming Area and So Her National Wealth The relation of climate and meth-! ods of living to the use of electrical appliances is shown by a recent study of the United States’ Southern neigh bors, made by the Bureau of Domestic and Foreign Commerce. Most of these countries, by comparison. wifrh the United State?', are exceedingly back ward in availing themselves of elec trical servants. In some of them, like Veneaulea, much of the popula tion is'so scattered that electricity Ims been unavailable, and only a few cities have daytime service, In many places, such as Porto Alegre, Brazil, the market for electrical devices suf fers from the high cost of operation and the unreliability of current sup ply, Other important factors include the servant situation and prevailing styles in interior decoration. In most of these countries house hold labor is plentiful and economical. „ The servants, as of old,odo the wash ing by hand.

The cost of this Etupendous work, it is predict ed, will be less than the capitalized value of the now land, and in the view of the London Times, the pro ject seems to bo “one of those rare their disposal. One of 4he two minor dams, which, with tho central main dam, are to block the moutlf of the ! Zuider Zoe, has recently been com pleted, and he tells us that thi:-i dam is one and one half miles in length and runs from tho west coast to the Island of Wieringen. Tho main dam, it is pointed out, will be some twelve miles in length and will run from Wieringen to an artificial Island, “Wieringen’s opposite number,” wh.cn is being constructed an equal (Ms-tan co .from the Friesland coast, with which It will be connnected by a third small dam.

Fans have made more the American republics most electrical appliances,. and they are usually found only in offices and public places. Tampico is an excep tion. Here-, for eight months of the year, they are to general use in homes of very moderate means. In Mexico City they are not so much used, since in that altitudo Summer weather is not oppressive. The same is true of Bolivia. But in Paraguay they are considered essential for five months of the- year, and in Brazil they are much in use. In many parts of South America, in spite of the heat, refriger ators of any kind are scarce, and ice is looked on as a luxury by the poorer classes'.

Sometimes when a particular appliance is shun ned tho reason is not apparent on the surface.

Al ready a dam has been constructed connecting the mainland with Wier ingen—a rather dreary known since the war as dwelling-place of the Crown Prince. This dam the beginning of the immense barrier, some thirty miles long (including the islands), by which it is intended per manently to block out the ocean from an area of well over a thousand square miles which it now covers. Not the whole of this area, however, is to be taken for cultivation. The middle part will still be a lake, but a fresh water lake. It is to be formed by damming up the flpw of the Yssel River, a branch of the Rhine, which at present empties itself uselessly into the Zuider Zee. The reservoir form ed will, it is calculated, be of immense service to the surrounding country. Droughts occur regularly In these northern provinces, and they not only produco a scarcity of drinking-water, ■but occasionally render canals use less. ■ What Was Wrong. A navvy bought a coat and was ad-' vised by the salesman to uso a coat hanger to keep tho 'shoulders in good shape. Next day tho salesman was sur prised to find the navvy in his shop complaining. “And what is the matter with coat?” asked tho salesman. “Oh, tho coat is all right,” said navvy. “But the wood part of hangers rub my shoulders, and every time I turn my head tho hook knocks my hat off.” the the tlie little Island, the enforced German ex- is itself only spare time.

The exhibition has been an undoubted success, and has stimulat ed throughout British trade and in dustry a desire to know more about modem advertising methods. British Industry in the past has ex celled in making good products, but has been, it i3 claimed, backward in selling them. A fast pace is now being get in overcoming this defect, of which the exhibition just closed gave evidence. Merchants and manu facturers attended in large numbers, as well as those interested through the publishing and advertising industries. The provincial dailies drew much attention through having installed the adtual mechanism by which news is instantly transmitted from Fleet Street to their offices in the north. The British railways had an im pressive exhibit, while that of the Em pire Marketing Board was easily first in size, variety and in the attention The British religious excellent, and of mortagages that are on it.

In eight years’ time, it is thought, the [setting will have so far advanced as 1 to give sufficient strength to the dam j to prevent gaps forming after the .opening of the railway service. The I top layer will then be removed and jthe permanent way laid on the same level as the main road. Work Well In Hand. “Another great work which has been completed is the construction of a new sea-dike from Ewycksluis in a ! northwesterly direction nearly as fai* [as Helder, the northernmost point of 'Holland. This was built as a precau tion against the higher tides which are expected after the closing of the Zuider Zee. To have strengthened tho old main sea-dike sufficiently to withstand these would have necessi tated the expropriation of large areas of valuable farm land. A new dike was therefore built, parallel to but 200 yards east of the old one. This has the advantage of creating a first-class ship canal ten miles in length, which will be made still longer when the new dike is continued to the south. Another new dike is to be built next year from the east of Wieringen Is land to Medemblik, in the south, and the area thus enclosed will, when the water has been drained off by power ful pumps, be the first of the four polders of reclaimed land.” At the eastern end of Wieringen two more considerable tasks have been completed, this correspondent goes on to say, and they are the new dock, which serves as a base for the fleet of dredges, barges and tugs, tak ing part in the work, and the con struction of fifteen sluice-gates, which are to control the waters of that part of the Zuider Zee which is to remain unclaimed. It is further related that: “This work is simply a stretch of the old sea bottom enclosed by a dike, the water having been pumped out. Its construction was a matter of great difficulty. Boulder clay was taken by dredges from a spot in the Zuider Zee some five miles away and brought to Wieringen by barges. This clay, which is a deposit from the Ice Period, is proof against erosion even in a strong current, and will form the foundation of all’the main works. Af ter dumping the boulder-clap up to sea level the water was pumped out and the enbankment thoroughly re-en forced. The outer surface of the dike has been covered with large blocks of stone, which are brought to barges from Germany and Belgium. It is stated that between $10,000,000 and $15,000,000 is to be spent in tlie pur chase of this stone from abroad. “The sluice basin is mile long and about width. It will contain gates erf ferroconcrete, each of them 33 feet wide. These will be used to regulate the watel-level of the lake formed by the unreclaimed central portion of the Zuider Zee. Lake Ys sel, as it has been named, will re ceive its waters from the Rhine through the River Yssel. On the Friesian side of the Zuider Zee, where tho artificial island is being built, an other great basin to contain ten more sluices is in course of construction. It is thought that these twenty-five sluices, with two very large locks for shipping, will prove sufficient to keep Lake Yssel at its proper level.” Comparative Size. * As an illustration of tlie vastness of this engineering enterprise, the Times’s correspondent calls attention to the fact from Wieringen to the Friesian coast is a voyage of two Fours in a fast tug, and he says that when making this voyage it is not easy to picturo sea crossed by miles in length, ther that: “Tho building begun in 1932, after the sluice-gates have been finished and the small dam built between the artificial island and the Friesian coast. The last stretch, about twelve miles In length, to then expected to be completed in three years. FOR UTILE ONES Baby’s Own Tablets Should be in Every Home Where There Are Children agents waited.

Canada Anticipates Large Wheat Crop Ottawa, Ont.—According to the esti mates of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics just compiled, the Canadian wheat crop this year will amount to over 458,000,000 bushels, a yield sec- onl only to that of 1923, when a record of 474,199,000 bushels wag made.’ Most of the wheat is grown to the prairie provinces, and. Alberta’s, estimated yield promises to make a new record for that province of nearly 169,000,000 bushels as against 113,000,000 last year. » Oat production for the whole do minion is estimated at 502,199,000 bushels which is far in advance of last year, while the estimated yield of hay and clover amounting to 16,524,- 000 tons is the largest yield on record to Canada. Of course, as the report states, good weather is still required for the completion of the harvesting and threshing operations, but “grant ed favorable conditions, the harvest in the West this year will be second only to the bountiful crops of 193.” --------------------- If sometimes tho tea you’ ar© using does not taste( as good as it used to—just seo[ what kind of a-package it is in.

At that time this amount ed to about $90. This fact was learned recently dur ing the process of readjusting rents to accordance with the Duce’s decree that nobody should pay more than four times as much (in lire) as was paid for the same place to 1914. In order to see that this rule is enforced the present inhavitants must appear before the prefecture and prove that the rent for the places they now oc cupy was such and such to 1914. A certain Signor Garducci, who now found himself paying 2,430 lire a year (about $135) for his apartment ap peared and demanded a reduction to 1,800 lire. To prove that he was en titled to this reduction he produced a receipt showing that one Benito ' Mussolini, who had occupied the apartment in 1914, paid only 450 lire rent—or just one-fourth of 1,800, or,, according to the present rate of ex- : change, about $100. He was granted the reduction.----------4.---------- .

The work has brought some relief to the unemployment problem that vexes Holland, as well as other1' countries, it seems, and it is said that the twin difficulty of over population should also be relieved by the occupation of nearly a thousand square miles of cultivable land—land, moreover, which is easily accessible and conveniently situated for th ex port of its produce.
