Do not worry about a pain in the back, The worry will do you more harm than the paths. The cause of most backaches is muscular rheuma- tism, which is painful enough, but not fatal, Lumbago is a form of muscu- lar rheumatism, so is a stiff neck. Sufferers from any form of rheuma- tism should keep their general health up to the highest standard by the use of a blood -building tonic like Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, while taking good, nourishing food, without too much meat. Proper nutrition and pure blood are the best means of fighting rheumatism. Rheumatism comes from an acid in the blood, build it up, strengthen the system, and drive out the poisonous acid that causes rheu- matism. In this way sufferers have found complete recovery as is shown by the following case; Mrs. Samuel Childerhouse, Orillia, Oat., says:— "About three years ago I was greatly afflicted with a severe pain in the back, which I thought at first was due to kidney trouble, I tried a num- ber of remedies, but they did not help me any, in fact, the pain was growing worse, and got so bed that I was quite unable to do my he...ework, I could not even sweep a floor. I was ad- vised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I am glad I acted upon the ad- vice, fill before I had been taking the Pills long the pain began to subside, and under the continued use disap- peared entirely, and I have not since. been bothered with it in any way. efy husband was also cured of a se- vere attack of indigestion by this same medicine, so that we both have much reason to be grateful for it." You .can get Dr, Williams' Pink Pills from any medicine dealer or by Mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes ?or $2,50 from The Dr. Williams' dedicine Ca,, Brockville, Ont. SEARCHLIGHTS BAFFLE ZEPPS. Sedation Expert Tells Haw to Foil. Raiders, London's whole system of protective larkening against Zeppelin attacks 's wrong and should be replaced by lavish system of searchlights, make mg the city one vast carpet of light, according to C. G. Grey, a well-known aviationexpert, writing in the London Express. The best way to prevent an air raider from doing serious work, Mr. Grey says, is to blind him with a Taro of light. "For this reason,"• declared the writer, "the proposed plan of sending ap aeroplanes at night to attack Zep- pelins is ridiculous because, until the Zeppelin is lit up by searchlight, the aeroplane cannot find it and then, as soon as the aeroplane rises above the Zeppelin to drop bombs it gets into the beam of the searchlight and the pilot is made helpless by the glare. "One hears much about night aero- plane patrols over Paris, but - they are there chiefly to compose the minds of the people and the real protection of Paris is a ring of searchlights completely enclosing the city. I submit the following scheme for the protection of London:— "Divide the city into half mile squares and in the corners of each square place searchlights throwing 'wide beams vertically upward, the beam of each searchlight overlapping that of its neighbor. Thus London would be covered with a carpet of light so blinding that passing air- craft could see nothifig below while land guns would have a clear target in the lighted area above." TURN OVER TIME When Nature Hints About the Food. When there's no relish to food and all that one eats doesn't seem to • do any good is the time to make a turn- over in the diet, for that's Nature's way of dropping a hint that the food isn't the kind required. For a number of years 'I followed railroad work, much of it being office work of a trying nature. Meal times were our busiest; and eating too much and too quickly of food such as is commonly served in hotels and res- taurants, together with the sedentary habits, were not long in giving me dyspepsia and stomach trouble, which reduced my weight from 205 to 160 pounds, "There was little relish in any food and none of it seemed to do me ,any good. It seemed the more I ate the • poorer I got and was always hungry before another meal, no matter how much I had eaten. "Then I commenced a trial. of Grape -Nuts food, and was surprised how a small saucer of it would carry me along, strong and with satisfied appetite, until the next meal, with no sensations of hunger, weakness or dis- tress as before.; "I have been following this diet now for several 'm'onths and my im- provement . has been ° so great all the others in my family have taken up the use of Grape -Nuts with complete satisfaction and much improvement in health. "Most people eat hurriedly, have lots of worry; thus hindering diges- tion, and therefore need a food that is predigested and concentrated in nour- ishment." "There's a Reason."

Mi. and Mrs. Oldroyd are quite convinced that "Thorpe” is none other than their long lost son. ' The hand- writing of the letter is identical with that of their son George's last letter home, and an additional proof is that when he emigrated to Canada he went accompanied by a friend named Thorpe. "PAINLESS EDUCATION." How Modern Children are Taught to Learn, While at Play. Attention of teachers now is be- ing called to "painless education." A mother writing in one of the current 1 magazines tells how her daughter, now at the age of 12, lies achieved a certain "natural education." The little girl speaks a number of lan- guages, she is well along in mathe- matics, having mastered both alge- bra and geometry, and has never taken them as studies in the sense that they are studied in the high schools. The little girl learned with out knowing that she was learning. For example,instruction was given in addition in the course of shelling peas. The game was to find how many peas there were in two pods. The two pods had to be added. Dice were added to the game and the little girl soon became an expert in adding the number of spots on them. In the matter of subtraction, tin soldiers and marbles were used, and whenever a cannon shot toppled over. 'a number of soldiers, the child soon was able to tell how many were left standing. There were no quizzes and the child was taught to get results without the use of rules. The funny doings of "Mr. X" interested her in algebra. Cardboard and scissors started her in geometry. She was able to demonstrate that the square on the hypothenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the aquares on the other sides before - she ever had heard of the rule. In other words, she learned things by doing them at play. Instead of having to memorize rules, she did the problem and learned the rule afterward, if she ever learned it. Many a rule has -been glibly recited by a childwith no idea of what it was about. Certain verbs "take the dative after the analogy of their primitives." The rule might as well have teen in the original Latin, so far as ability of the average student to comprehend it. Cure Baby's Own Tablets are a gentle! laxative. They are absolutely safe and are so pleasant in action that once the mother has used them for her little ones she will never again resort to that harsh, ill -smelling, bad - tasting castor oil, which baby always fought against taking.

Recognized in Trenches a Missing Son of Couple in England. One of the strangest romances of the great war has just come to light in Leeds, England. Ten years ago a Leeds youth, George Ernest Oldroyd, disappeared from his home, and when his parents next had news of him he was acting as a cook to a party of Canadian rail- way engineers on the prairies of Can- ada. After a month or two his par- ents ceased to have letters from him, and, after the lapse of several years, and despite many vain endeavors to trace him, they reluctantly came to the conclusion that he was dead, and have mourned him as such for at least seven years. Now, as •tife result of a chance meeting in the trenches in France it seems likely that Mr. and Mrs. Old- royd aye to have their son restored to them. A Leeds soldier at the front recently, met there a member of the Canadian contingent, whom he in- stantly recognized as George Oldroyd, of Leeds, and hailed him as an old friend. The Canadian replied that he was making a mistake as his name was -Thorne and 'he. had never in his knowledge been to Leeds. Conversation between the two elicited the story from "Thorpe." Nine years ago he had been in a big train smash in Canada, from which he had' emerged with his memory so completely gone that he could remem- ber nothing of his previouslife, not even his name. He told the Leeds comrade that following the accident a letter bearing the name of Thorpe was found in his possession, and he had been known by that name ever since. The. Leeds man assured him that he had not the slightest doubt as to his identity, and as he had known the whole Oldroyd family, he. gave "Thorpe" their- address and advised him to write. Mr. and Mrs. Oldroyd, who still live in. Leeds, have now re- ceived a letter giving further particu- lars. The man "Thorpe" wrote that he joined the Canadian contingent in Vancouver nine monthS ago. He was in Toronto nine years' ago, and was in a train wreck somewhere that left him in a Winnipeg hospital. From that period hismind, he says, is a blank. All his efforts to discover his parents have been futile, and he. al - 140 Guaranteed oreNever known to, fall; acts : without pain In 24 hours. IS soothing, healing;' fF �'.

British Scientist Was Finder of Poi- sonous Element. Chlorine, which in its liquid form the Germans are said to be using in their poison bombs, owes its discov- ery as .an element, as well as its name, to, a British scientist, Humph- rey Davy. It was in 1810 that he found the mysterious gas to be uncle colnposable into other elements. Should we decide to flatter the Ger- mans by imitating them, there would be no difficulty in finding the chlorine. Theearth and the sea are full of it, in the form of salt. It would in- deed be difficult not to find chlorine-- in hlorine-in one or other of its combinations wherever one tried, in earth, air or water; but it would be impossible to find it anywhere, except in alliance with another element. Workmen who split up common salt—chlorine of sodium—in order to get the chlorine, grow :fat in the process,, but as a set- off, their teeth decay. Joint and Muscle: Pains Banished by Nerviline IT CURES RIE.IMATISM. Thousands of people, chuck, full of the joy of living—happy, glad, bright people, that Nerviline has cured of their pains, all tell the same wonder- ful story of its power to drive out the. aches and tortures of rheumatism and kindred ills. "My goodness, but Nerviline is a miracle -worker," 'writes I'tirs. Char- lotte Chipman, mother of a well- • known family residing at Mount Pleasant. "Last month I was so crip- pled up with sciatica and muscular ' rheumatism as tobe almost unable to do a bit of housework. My ,joints were so stiff and the muscles so frightfully sore that I even cried at times with the pain. For years we have used Nerviline in our family and I just got busy with this wonder- ful, good old liniment. Lots of rub- bing with Nerviline soon relieved my misery and I was in a real short time about my work as usual," No matter where the ache is, no matter how distressing the pain you can rub it away with Nerviline, For forty years it has been curing lum- bago, sciatica, backache, colds, chest trouble and all sorts of winter ills.

Post Card Sent tor Her Father at.the � Front, A, pathetic incident is told in a letter written from Flanders by Private J. Pulfer, of the R.A.M.C., to a friend in England. He says: "We wounded taking two men in an ambulance from the firing line when one of them died in our bands. We were preparing to i2ury him when a post card withthe verse given be- low droppedfrom his pocket: Daddy, darling, I am thinking Of dear father far away; And that you be free from danger Night and mornfor you, I pray. Though from all of us you're parted,; Still I pray where'er you be, That God will keep you from all danger And bring you safely back to me. DORA, "When we read the card we could have cried," writes Pulfer. "The man had received the card that morning from his little girl at home, telling him to be quick and come back to her. I have seen ninny burials, but I never felt as upset as when we put that poor chap down in the grave." Don't Stir It. Please Don't Stir It.

Why the Britisher Has the Best Phy- sique in Europe. • The Britisher is notoriously atten- tive to the wants of the "inner man," which may be one reason for his phy- sical and mental superiority over others. Culinary inefficiency is responsible for more domestic unhappiness than one who has not studied the subject would imagine, This is on the au- thority of one who has paid some at- tention to the weakness for tasty things which Sohn Bull has ever man- ifested. But there has now been gathered by a statistician hard, solid facts which show that the average Britisher eats almost twice as much as the German,. while an. Italian is satisfied with less than half the- food a Britisher con- sumes. A British workingman spends 14s. on food, a Frenchman 10s., a Belgian 8s. 2d., a German 7s. Gd., and an Ital- ian es. The Britisher consumes more meat than any other European, and the meat is considered to be the best of all foods for making muscle and brain. This is why. the Britisher' has the better physique than the men ofany other nationality; why he is the best athlete, the hardest worker and the quickest thinker. ED. 6. A PEER'S JOKE, Lord Rayleigh Has a Keen Sense of Humor, One of the most interesting mem- bers of the British peerage is Lord Rayleigh,who for the scientific work has received the high honor of the Order of Merit. Although Lord Ray- leigh is such a noted scholar he hasj a very keen sense of humor, and he once played a very neat little joke upon a learned friend with whom he had been discussing some deep sub- jeets. "What is the difference be- tween the North and South Poles?" be asked gravely. Itis lordship's friend thought he had a new scien- tific problem to grapple with, and brought all the weight of his brain to bear upon the question. "I really must give it up," he said at last. "The answer is simple enough," re- plied Lord Rayleigh, with a smile. "There is all the difference in the. world." TEMPERANCE AND THRIFT.. Virtues Which Act and Re -Act Upon. Each Other. The writer lived his early years among workmen and his later years as an employer of labor, and it is in comprehbnsible to him how any in- dividual having at heart the elevation', of the manual laboring man can fail to place upon the habit of thrift the' highest value, second only to that of temperance, without which no honor- able career is possible, for against in-, temperance no combinationof good qualities can prevail, Temperance and thrift are tile virtues which act and re -act upon each other, strength- ening both, and are seldom found'. apart. The pure elevating, happy home with wife and children is the product of both. When some part of the weekly earnings is not saved all is not as well with that home as could be wished. ---Andrew Carnegie.

Lady Clerks are now a familiar sight in most English banks, and, speaking broadly, they are success- fully performing their more or less routine duties. In the majority of cases these ladies have been given temporary appointments—that is to say, they have been engaged on the understanding that when the regular staff, whom they have released for the army, return, their services will no longer be required. It is, however,. a question as to whether banks will ever return to their old method of em- ploying a purely male staff, for it appears probable that after the war many factors will operate to cause a dearth in bank clerks coincident with an extra demand for their services. Minard's Liniment Cures Distemper. The Scholar. A school master called at the home of a pupil, whose absence had ex- tended over the week, and inquired of the lad's mother the reason. "Why," she said, "he's past his 14th year, and his father and I think he's had schooling enough!" "Schooling enough! Why I did not finish my education until I was 23." "Is that so?" said the mother. "But .you see, that lad of ours has got brains." Minard's Liniment Co., Limited. Gentlemen,—In Sept. 1905 I was thrown from a road machine, injur- ing my hip and back badly and was obliged to use a crutch for 14 months. In Sept., 1906, Mr. Wm.

There are further details to hand regarding the alteration in Germany's conscription law, by which those men who were originally refused will now be called up. Lately men refused be- tween the years 1887-95 met, those refused in the period 1878-86 were called, and next day those refused during the years from 1870 to 1877. In other words men rejected as far back as 45 years ago are now being called upon. This is proving the source of considerable nervousness in. Germany, as indicating that the Army is lacking in men.
