U ntil recently few people thought of utilizing as a substitute the ma- terial to be gained from water an" - mala. The United States Fish Com- mission has -Wien up the question. and already proved that several kinds of fish have skins that make excel- lent leather for some purposes. Sal- mon hide is found not only service- able for boots, but among the I';s- quimaux it has been used for genera- tions in making waterproof clothes. The people of the very far north al- so use codfish skins for jackets. The different skins which the Fish Com- mission has found to he most prac- tical and durable are whale skins. porpoise skins„ and seal leather, which dye in most exquieiite colors.

The vitality of infants and *young children is at its lowest point due- ing the hot weather. More children die in summer than at. any other season. This is because the little ones suffer more from bowel troub- les, are nervous, weak, sleepless and irritable. Prompt action often saves il. valuable little life,and troubles of e and met can bepromptly is trend h 1 cured by giving the little ones l3aby`s Own Tablets, which should be kept in •every home ready for emer- gencies, These Tablets speedily re - Neve, and promptly cure all stomach, v and other hot t clotthen ail - bowel ments, and give sound refreshing sleep. Mrs. P. Ferguson, 105 Mans- field street, Montreal, says: "My baby was attacked with dysentry and was hot and feverish. I gave him Baby's Own Tablets andthey promptly cured him. Before this he had been rather delicate, but since using the Tablets be has been better and stronger in every way." These Tablets can be given with an absolute certainty that they will do good to all children from a new born upwards. They contain no opi- ate or poisonous "soothing" stuff.
