VITUS DANCE it Is Most .Common.Anmong Chu- dren of the School Age If your child—whether boy or girl .--is fidgetty, emotional and awk- ward, you should watch it care- fully as it . may develop Sts, Vitus dance. Frequently c+haldren can- not keep still, they move with intra ge actions, their limbs jerk and their features twitch nervous- ly. Speech is confused and the whole muscular system not under control. These are among the symptoms of St. Vitus>dance, a trouble that afflicts growing girls and boys, most frequentlyduring the school age. Dr. illiams' Pink Pills are such -a splendid nerve tonic that they have cured the worst Gases of St, Vitus dance. They do this because the new, rich blood they make feeds and streng- thens the starved nerves, thus throwing off the disease. Here is an example. Mrs. L. L. Gifford, Westover, Ont., says "For over two years my little girl, Constance, was a sufferer from St. Vitus dance. She was frightened badly by a dog,; which seemed to bring on the trouble, and notwithstanding all we did for her it. seemed to he grow- ing worse. She grew sobad that she could not feed herself and her speech was so badly affected that we could ..scarcely understand her. The twitching and jerking of her limbs was pitiable. At this ileac- ture we began giving her Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, and to our great joy they . have completely ,cured her, and she is now as healthy a child as you can find," Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or sent by mail at .50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from .

The planet Mars, according to Edmund Ferrier, wlho writes on the subject in The North American Re- view, is more, distant than the earth from the siva-150,000,000 miles on the average, instead of 100,000,000. It is therefore a little colder ; the more ,so as its central heat is less because she diameter of the planet is only 4,000 miles instefid of 8,000. 'Martian deYs have almost the same duration as ours, but theaxis of the planet being more inclined on the plane of the orbit by about four degrees, the polar regions, where the sun r'emain's, more than one day on or below the horizon,. are more extended, as is also torrid zone. The inequality of days and nights at the'same. latitude is greeter on Mars than on the earth; at the lat-• titude of 45 degrees our'shortest,day is eight hours and forty-three min- utes and the longest fifteen hours and thirty-eight minutes; these are on. Mars, respectively, seven hours and fifty-six minutes and seventeen hours and fifty eight minutes long. The duration of the year on Mars is almost double, being 668% days instead of 3651 days, as on this planet. The orbit of Mars is an elongated ellipse instead of being almost a circle like the earth's. Therefore there is more difference between the seasons both in respect of duration and sof temperature and thenorthern hemisphere fev- ered by a king summer,' is warmer, than the southern hemisphere. A MOTHER'S PRAISE OF BABY'S OWN TABLETS Mrs. Pierre Lambert, Paquette ville, Que., says "I read in the papers of what.. Baby's Own Tab- lets were doing fox- other children, so decided to try them for my baby, who was suffering from con- stipation ' and stomach trouble. They worked ' like a charm and now I always keep them iai the house and recommend them to all my friends." Eaby's Own Tablets cure constipation and indigestion ; they expel worms, break up colds and allay simple fever and make teething easy.

SIR (UIRALD LiOWTH R Sir Gerald Lowthere the Britie ,Ambassador at Constantinople has been undergoing a very anxiou time during th past eesely months.

It was a few days' af- ter the capture of Kaid Maclean by that notorious individual Rai- suli. One of the Ambassador's guests, a fascinating' French lady, anxious . to know what England would do, called across to him during the repast, "What are you waiting for, Sir Gerald?" "A lamb cutlet, madame," was the ready response. Sir Gerald married in 1905 Miss Alice Blight, of . Philadelphia, the granddaughter of Richard Green- ough, the famous sculptor. • Her charming personality, and her abil- ity as a hostess, have been of the greatest assistance to her husband in his diplomatic career. . .

It Paid This Man to Change Food. Sir Gerald Lowther. "What .is ' called 'good living' eventually brought me to a con- dition quite the reverse. of good health," writes an Eastern rner- chant. "Improper eating told on me till my stomach became • so weak that food nauseated me, even the light- est and simplest lunch, and I was much depressed after a night of uneasy slumber, unfitting me for business. "This condition was discourag- ing, as I could find no way to im- prove it. Then I saw the adver- tisement of Grape -Nuts food, and decided to try it and became de- lighted with the result. "For the past three years I have used Grape -Nuts and nothing else for my breakfast asd for lunch 'be- fore retiring. It speedily set my stomach right and I congratulate myself that I have regained my health. There is no greater com- fort for a tired man than a lunch of Grape -Nuts. It 'insures restful sleep, and an awakening in the morning with a. feeling of buoyant courage and hopefulness: "Grape -Nuts has been a. boon to my whole family. It has made of our 2 -year-old boy, who used to be unable to digest much of anything, a robust, healthy, little rascal weighing •• 32 pounds. Mankind certainly owes adebt. of gratitude to the expert who invented this perfect food." Name given by Canadian Postum Co, Windsor, Ont. "There's a reason." 'Ever read the above letter?

'Violent Explosions of Meteorites Louder Than Thunder. , The suggestion that there are air - 'quakes, due to explosions of me- teorites and quite independent of earthquakes and volcanoes, comes from no; less an authority than W. F. Denning, the British aatrone- mer. That such explosions are some- times audible is well known. W. M. Foote has. just recorded that a, large meteorite, falling near Holbrook, Ariz., at 6.30 p.m., on July 19, 1912, broke up with a loud noise that lasted half a minute or more, and scattered over a . stretch of three miles of sandy desert, more thin 14,090 of the fragments—of 'a total weight of nearly 500 pounds—hav- ing been picked up and preserved. The exploding bodies., of course, Are not always seen. A violent air shock on the morning of November 19 caused the shaking of windows and • other effects in thvicinity of Sanninghill, England, but could not be connected with any earthquake, and this has led to the conclusion that it was due to the explosion of a fireball high in the air. The view is confirmed by the fact that astronomer's recognize a few neer the middle of November as a period of detehatiing . fireba,ll.s. Other similar instances have been noted in 18'71'-4on November 20 rind 23 --were estimated to have created. air disturbances more than a hun- dred times as violent'as a loud peal. of thunder, The average married Min knows what:lit is to be cross-ewateined SHE USED ONLY THE NATURAL CURE IIOW NOVA SCOTIA WOMAN 'AAs RELIEVED OF ICElt ItEAUT DISEASE.

W. Leadbetter of this place tried " Dodd's Kidney Pills, and is once more in the beet of health. Her simple statement is the best evidence that no ease of Kidney Disease: is so bad that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure it, "I was treated by five doctors," Mrs. Leadbetter states. "Four of them did me no good. The fifth. operated on' me and that gave me relief for a time. I had. Female, Kidney and Heart trouble. I was so nervous and run down that my friends did not think I would. ever, get better. "An advertisement led ins to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, and I have found in them a cure for all my troubles. I cannot praise Dodd's Kidney Pills too highly." Female Trouble and Heart Dis- ease are caused by Kidney Disease. The natural way to cure thein is cure the Kidneys by using Dodd's Kidney Pills.

No More Bronchitis I mrairM SON BIRD' Throat Distress, Cured Tomtit and Skylark Being Intro, Life -Long Sufferer Tells of quick Relief Prom, "Catarrhozone." Every breath carries healing balsams to the sick sore places in ' the nose and throat. Montreal Ude time gives splendid praise for the modern way of curing Golds, oa- tarrh and. bronchitis. Instead of taking sickening drugs into the stomach, or using an old-fashioned spray, the sensible man now -a -dare breathes the soothing vapor of Catarrh - ozone and gets well right away. This is exactly what Mr, Joseph Daoust did, and writing from his aloe at 57 St. Paul St., he says;— "I` suffered for years from 'the worst form of ,chronic bronchial throat and nasal catarrh. I tried all kinds of syrups, ointments, tablets and wasil'es,but they proved ineffective. In fact I could get no relief, I road in the Montreal Witness of Catarrhozone and bought an outfit. In a few. hours I got relief. The air pas- sages of my nose were cleared out, and I was able to breathe freely. My throat was strengthened—my voice improved— and no longer gagged and coughed. The effect of Catarrhozone was wonderful. Now I am well—no bronchitis—no throat distress. I urge everyone with a weak throat, with a cough, a cold or a'touch of catarrh to use Catarrhozone ' freely." Prominent men in all walks of life use and endorse Catarrhozone which is a scientific preparation for 'throat troubles and, Catarrh. It is not a "cure-all."

MUST SCHOOL DESK GO? Children Sit Down Too Much, Ore- gon Teacher Claims. The familiar school desk, as we know it, is soon to become a curi- osity. Progress in education has doomed it. The school desk must go, because it is an enemy to health and directly responsible for many of the ills of sehool children. In twenty years it will he obsolete in the schools, Prof. E. 0. Sisson said .a4 the annual Teachers' Institute in Oregon, recently. Professor Sisson told the teachers that it is wrong in principle, in the first place, because it compels chil- dren 'to ei't cramped and still when they should be free to move about in the schoolroom in a natural way. He compared the desk to a. relic of barbarism. "The cast-iron, rigid, regimental seat of to -day will be thrown out," he said. "In its place we will have benebes and tables and chairs, and the children will not be pinned down to a seat, but will move about as they study and recite and work. "School children sit down alto- gether too much. Adults do, too. I am firmly convinced that it is all wrong to beep children seated as we do. They ought to have to stand up and to walk. The old Romans used to make the children stand up and study. We do just the opposite.

"Leave nature alone or there may be trouble." This is the opin- ion of a writer,_. ronlmenting on the introduction into British Columbia of British song birds, It was with the best of intentions that the sparrow WAS introduced into America, in the hope that,it would assist in keeping down the insect pests so harmful th agricul- ture, but as soon as the bird found that a diet of corn was better worth having, it abandoned its former good habits and quickly proved once again, the truth of the old adage that the cure is often worse than the disease Among the birds being sent out from England are the skylark and the tit, both very attractive and de- sirable birds from many points of view, but not altogether blameless in their habits. The larkis an in- veterahe destroyer of the clover "leys" in winter. In an agricul- ture suction.of British Columbia it is' conceivable that the;experience of the British farmer would be re- peated, and if the birds increased. there, as they probably would at a greater 'rate than in Britain, their might prove to be nothing short of disastrous. Far more serious might be the establishment of the tit family in a district where fruit is grown. The tit is an inveterate dearoyer of fruit buds, and is not even satisfied, to step at that. In England the great and blue tits make sad havoc in the orchards when the pears and apples begin to ripen, it being their tire- some habit to peck small holes near the stalk of the fruit, so that de- cay immediately sets in and the fruit is useless for marketing. The amount of damage that a single family of tits cam cause and they invariably forage in companies—is extraordinary, for the birds are not content to finish the fruit they have begun, but spend their whole time in "sampling," so that in a very short time half an orchard may be ruined. et WHAT FOLLOWED A CUT. A Magistrate's Wonderful, Experi- ence With Zam-Buk. Mr. J. E. Arsenault, a Justice of the Peace, and station master at Wellington, on the Prince Edward Island Ry., has had a wonderful proof of the healing power of Zam- Buk. He says : "Four years ago I had an acci- dent. I slipped' in the station and fell on a freight „ruck, sustaining a bad cut on the front of my leg. I thought this .would heal, but in- stead of doing so et developed into a bad ulcer and later into a form of eczema which spread very rap- idly and also started on the other leg. Both legs became so swollen and sore that I could only go about my work by having them bandaged. My doctor said I must stop work and lay up. "After six months of this trou- ble I consulted another doctor, but with no better result. I tried all the salves, liniments and lotions I heard of, but instead of getting better I got worse,. "This was my ,;ondition when I got my first Ilex of Zam-Buk. Greatly to my delight that first box gave me relief. I continued to ap- ply it to the sores,and day by day they got better. I could see that at last I had got hold of something which would cure me, and . in the end it did. It is now over a year since Zam- Buk worked a cure in my ease, and there has been no return of the ec- zema or any trace of it." All druggists and stores sell at 50c. box or post free from Zam=Buk Co., Toronto, upon receipt of price. ►1• Falls in Love With It. "Do you believe in love at . first sight ?" "Yes, indeed.
