Nervous troubles of all kinds, par- ticularly nervous debility, work a re, ,markable transformation in- the pa- tient. The change is both physical and mental, The sufferer loses weight 'and strength, and frequently becomes irritable and fault finding. Troubles that were once thrown off without any difficulty assume exaggerated propor- tions. Other symptoms of this ner- vous condition are poor appetite, head- aches, exhaustion after little effort, and frequently distress after meals. The cause of this debility is genet -- ,ally starved nerves. The blood, which iglves the nervous system its food and dower to work efficiently, has become :thin and weak, and until the blood re - 'gains its tone and strength there can be no improvement fn the condition of ;the nerves. In cases of this kind Dr. ;Williams Pink Pills will be found the very best medicine, They make rich, 'red blood which feeds and strengthens the starved nerves, and in this way restores the sufferer to full health and strength. Proof of this is found in the case of Mr. Fred Sander, London, Ont., ,who says: "While on service with the ;Imperial forces in Africa I completely lost any health through continual hard- ship and shock. I was sent back to itlre base hospital suffering,•so the doe - tor said, from. nervous debility, After spending some time in the hospital I .was invalided back to England as un- fit for further service. After spending a long time in Netley Hospital, I was given my discharge, but was still a jweak and nervous wreck, absolutely lunflt for work. I had neither the strength nor ambition to do anything. In London I doctored for three or four months with a civilian doctor, who finally airvised a change of climate, I !was terribly nervous, suffered from sleeplessness, smothering, and sinking spells, and palms in the heart; my hands and feet were always cold and chummy. At this :ante I decided to come to Canada, and shortly after reaching this country was advised to try I)r. William Pink Pills. After I had taken the pills for some weeks I found inyseit improving. I continued taking the pills for several months, with the result that they fully restored fifty health. My nerves are now as steady as a rock; my appetite the best, and my eyes and skin, which had turned yellowish, are clear and healthy looking. I feel like a new man in every way, and fit for any- thing. I have since recommended the pills to teve l•al friends, and know of several rases where they were hene- fici;tl in the influenza epidemic, I ani ut the opilrion that should any of my returi:ed soldier comrades use Dr. Williams Pink ],'ills for shell shock, taey would. be a great help to them." You ,carr get Dr. Williams Pink Pilin through any dealer in medicine, or by tail, poet paid, at 59 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Wil- liams:Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. The anopheles mosquito, it appears, is attracted by eerta:n colors and re- pelled by others, Experiments 'have. been conducted in a gauze tent, one end of which was formedby large windows. Intothese the sunlight poured on height days. Large stone basins were placed on the floor for the mosquitoes to breed in. It was immediately noticed that when a person entered the tent clad in dark grey clothes, the mosquitoes settled on the cloth, When the person entering was dressed in white flannel, they did not approach him. - A number of boxes lined with cloth of various colors were placed in rows upon the floor, and it was noticed that great numbers of mosquitoes entered the box lined with dark blue. Fewer of the insects sought the boxes lined with other colors, the number dimin- ishing an this order: Dark red, brown, scarlet, black, slate gray, olive green, violet, leaf green, blue, pearl gray, pale green, light blue, ochre, white and orange. No mosquitoes whatever were. found in the box Lined with yellow. The number of insects congregating in houses might therefore be easily lessened by the choice of suitable colors applied to the walls. A trap lined with something dark would at- tract so many insects that they could be slain in large numbers. STYLES FOR CHILDREN "Who Are You?" I love the country—it's God's land. I love the trees, the birds, the flowers. I love the starry skies and the sun- lit fields. 1 love the rain and the glistening snow. I love the pure air and the sparkling brook. I love the spring, summer, autumn and winter. I till the soil and plant the seed. I cultivate the crop and gather the harvest. I supply the food that none may starve. I work from sunrise to sunset. I work for the 'joy of work and for my loved ones. I have no time to strike. I believe all who eat should work. I believe ,in co-operation. I believe in the brotherhood of man. I believe my children should have the best in education. I believe my wife should have every home convenience. I believe in work, sleep and play. I believe niy rights and privileges are those of every man. I believe in my God, in my Country and in you. I am a farmer. The way to choose between actions is to choose between aims. A farmer's labor devoted to produc- ing wheat in 1830 resulted in an aver- age of hardly more than three bushels a work day of ten hours. As the re- sult of improved agricultural methods and machinery, his labor for one day now averages a product of sixty bushels. We are• progressing. Ranching in Ontario Ranching in Canada immediately suggests the Western plains and the huge herds, now rapidly passing, $which used to graze at large upon the rich verdure of the prairies. But there is also ranching in the east, and at the present time big herds are to Le found grazing under ranching nee - hods in many parts of Ontario. There eas an Ontario Ranchers' Association, and its Secretary, C. M. Laidlaw, points out the advantages the province offers to stockmen. A very large area of Ontario is (trade up of rough -broken country interspersed with valleys ,and small tracts of good soil. This rough land, 'whilst generally uncultivable and of- +ifeiing few posaibiliti.esalong other agricultural lines, offers an enormous range area for the grazing of live stock, and stockmen are increasingly realizing this and bringing in their herds to leases obtained from the Gov- ernment. These leases comprise abandoned farms, and rough timbered sections; of the country where ordinary agricultural operations are imprac- ticable, and the rental is five cents per acre for the first five years, the ifranchise being renewable. Different methods of ranching -caret ollowed in the province. Where grazing land is held adjoining farm- ing sections, ranchers buy their cattle as two -year-olds for fall delivery, and put them out to winter with farmers at so much per head per month, finish them on their ranches the following summer, and market them when ready as three -year-olds. These men per- form a useful and economic work in maturing and finishing cattle which would otherwise go to market in an unfinished and 'immature condition. In the northern ,sections, the ranch- es are of a more self-contained nature, a breeding herd of a considerable size being kept and the stock raised to a marketable age. This is necessary with sheep and desirable with cattle when there is no farming section nearby to provide stock foe the ranch-, er, or an opportunity for wintering. On these ranches it hag been found necessary to cultivate winter feed. Ontario offers ranchers a large am- ount of grazing land scattered over the provinoe all within reasonable freight -travelling distance of the live stock markets. The climate is con- ducive to good summer gains and the minimum of winter feeding whilst the proxlimity of fine farming sections provides facilities for the purchasing of young stock to run, and for winter- ing them.

Velocity of Light Physicists never tire of efforts to increase the accuracy of their knowl- edge of the fundamental facts of science. A redetermination of the velocity of light by the Fizean toothed wheel method was made at Nice, These experiments were remarkable on ac- count of the great distance over 'which the beam of light employed was trans- mitted. Previously* such a beam had been caused to travel about fifteen miles, but on this occasion the re- flecting mirror was so ,placed that the total distance traversed by the beam, going and returning, was fifty-seven miles. The mean of 1,'109 observations gave the velocity of light 186,2251:: miles, a, second.

A committee has recently started in London to raise $50,000. to purchase the house called Wentworth PIace, formerly known as Lawn Bank, which was the last home in England of the poet Keats. This house is situated close to Hampstead Heath. Attention was Balled to it when the place was offered for sale as an eligible building site. Next year is the centenary of the death of Keats. I fell from a building and received what the doctor called a very bad sprained ankle, and told ane I must not walk on it for three weeks. I got MINARD'S LINIMENT and in six days 1 was out to work again. I think It the best Liniment made, ARCHIE E. LAUNDRY. Edmonton. In the Orchard. - Prune back the heads and long canes of blackberries and raspberries after picking is over. Propagate black raspberries by tip - layering; If bearing trees have not had their crops thinned before this, do it early in July. Thinning pays well in im- proving the qualityof the fruit. The last cultivation of the orchard trees may be made late in July. Plant a cover crop at this time consistingof rye, winter vetch, and perhaps some crimson clover if the climate is not too severe for it.
