These prove that the long indoor life of winter has had its. effect upon the blood, and that a tonic medicine is needed to put it right. In- deed there are few people who do not need a tonic at this season: Bad blood does not merely show itself in disfigur- ing eruptions. To this same condition Is due attacks of rheumatism and lum- bago; the sharp stabbing pains of sciatica and neuralgia, poor appetite and a desire to avoid exertion. You cannot cure these troubles by the use of purgative medicines -you need a tonic, and a tonic only, and among all medicines; there is none can equal' Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for their tonic, Ilfe-giving, nerve -restoring powers.

The London Times, which has re turned to the reading circle idea . as a means of saving paper, says that there are still people living in Lon- don who remember the clays , when the Times was sent arbund to var•- ous circles for perusal at set hours in the morning, afternoon and -even- ing. A- resident of 'Fulham has: sup - 'plied some interesting facts with re- gard to this system of distribution, facts which are the more interesting now that the scheme has come into operation again. In 1859 the Times was 4d a copy, and .consequently many people could not afford to buy the paper regularly. Accordingly the newsagents started a scheme for lending' the Times out on hire, they themselves taking every risk, for in those days there was no "sale or return" plan by which the newsvendors could forward their un- sold copies to the office. Mr. Henry Fletcher was one of the s newsboys who was engaged in tak rng the Times round in 1859, and .he relates the methods employed. There were three boys for his district, and their first round was at 8 a.m. Cer- tain customers who paid their shilling a week received the paper at 8 o'clock. They kept it for two hours, when the boys called again and took it to the next subscrber. After that the tariff was 6d a week for an, hour a day, or 9d for two hours. None of the London newspapers had country agencies in those days,, and,. consequently, after the last person had read the paper it was posted to the country or abroad. Before t1 s happened, however, the paper was passed on to subscribes who paid 6d a week for the privilege of having the Times from 6 in the evening until the next morning. Sometimes in the evening or -the next morning the boys had to search for additional copies for casual buyers. In those days all the papers were taken round the city on carts.

An Odd Way of Enforcing Discipline Employed By British General. They are ilaughing in the Britis trenches in France and in the Londo clubs over a story of how an Englis General taught discipline painlessly to one of the millions of new soldiers England has made. Theo -lame of the General varies i the telling. Some say he is Fiel Marshal Sir Douglas .Haig. Other say the Irish General Gough only could have done it.

Mr. A. examined closely all the lit- ter on the grass, but found not ••a thing even to warrant a hint of sus- picion that the soldier was a German spy. "There's nothing at all incriminat- ing here," he exclaimed, turning. to the General. "There are some letters from home, quite harmless, a few pic- ture postcards, his pay book and 'an envelope with two five franc notes."' "Oh, is that it?"The General scowled blackly at the soldier until the latter hung his head. , The:_ he •clear- ed his throat: "Well, my man, I want you/ to un- derstand this—a British solder who does not salute a British officer is eith- er a spay or a fool. You, apparently, are just a plain fool." Thereupon, turning on his heel, the General jumped into the saddle and. started' to ride off. But the General reined in for a moment and turned in his saddle, grinning down upon the soldier who stood at/attention, 'half dressed, his belongings scattered about. "All right, you can dress now!" said the General, and this time he gal- loped off. The story spread and there arefew- er complaints now of ' inattention to the rules of the service in' the British army. - CROWNED AT DAYBREAK. Interesting Coronation Ceremonies for New Queen of Abyssinia. The ceremonies of crowning the new Empress of Abyssinia, Zeoditu, took place the'latter part of 'Febru- ary and lasted a week, which was ob- served as a holiday throughout the country. The new' Empress remitted all arrears of taxes and proclaimed general amnesty for criminals' still at large. The Empress was crowned in the Cathedral of Addis Abeba.at 4 o'clock in the morning. No foreigner was permitted to witness this ceremony, but at 8 o'clock the Empress took her seat upon a -throne and received the diplomatic cors, most of the foreign residents and:the :principal Abyssin- ian -chiefs, who paid homage. The Re- gent, Ras Tafari, ' stood on the steps of the throne. An address was delivered by the Bishop of Abyssinia, after which the Empress read a proclamation to her subjects. The day's; ceremonies concluded with a gorgeous procession to the palace and a banquet, be, he cannot let the day pass without taking his ride a -horseback. .Though this General is known to most British soldiers, and though his uniform shows his rank, he passed one day while on his daily canter a private soldier walking in the opposite direc- tion. The soldier did not salute. The General stared a moment, puzzled whether or not to reprimand the man. Then a 'slow grin passed over his face. Heturned to his aid. "We'll dismotuit, Mr. A.," he said, and then turning tohis orderly and pointing to the soldier, "Trooper B, arrest that man and bring him here. He's a spy," The General 'gave every appearance of being in deadly earnest. In a mo- ment Trooper 13, had brought back the suspected man' in a state of bewilder- ment and no little trepidation, The eneral then proceeded to order and. upervise a search of the man. "Take off his coat! tmpty his ockets!Takeoff his cap! Look in- side the lining! Never know where these spies hide their papers," he ordered, "Make him take off -his put- tees, uttees, too." Still in speechless wonderment the soldier helped Trooper 13. execute these orders. In a moment he was standing with a.imost all his kit on the glass. t,ii Now, Mr, A,, Said the General with great severity," "you know Ger- man. Examine those papers, please, ED). 7. . ISSUE 19-'17. G 5 p KEROSENE, THE LIGHT OF ASIA. Opportunity For Canadian Firms To Extend Their Trade. To educate the Chinese into a knowledge of kerosene, the Standard Oil Company made presents of small oil lamps in the . Celestial Empire, says the New York Mail. That was twelve or fourteen years ago. In 1903 the sales of kerosene in China aggregated 13,000,000 Tenons. In 1916 they aggregated 103,000,- 000 gallons. Kerosene has become the light of Asia. What an object lesson there is' -for Canadian enterprise hi this achieve- - of the great Aprerican oil com- pany! What Standard Oil did with kerosene it is possible for hundreds of other branches of industry to do to ' some degree in their lines, not only in China, but elsewhere throughout the world.
