The Wingham Times, 1916-09-28, Page 3September 28, 1916 THE WINGHAM TIMES Had a Nervous Breakdown, Could Not Sleep or Work Is Now Cured and Attributes His Recovery to the Use of Dr. Chase's Medicines. ,biq;ae splendid results have been re- ported to us from the combined use of Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver ('ills and Nerve Food. In complicated cases they work together with great suc- cess, While the Kidney -Liver Pills arouse the action of liver, kidm ys and bow- els, and so overcome derangements of these organs, the Nerve Food en- riches the blood, strengthens the nerves and builds up the system in a general way. Mr. It. B. HillmanPurbrook, Mus- koka, Ont., writes: `About four years axo I was all run down and could not Work, and as to writing a letter, I aveu d not elo it on account of my hand ng so badly. My nerves were and I was troubled with a rittroue breakdown. I could not sleep soundly and would start up so suddenly as to almost jump out of bed. My kidneys were bad, too, and I had awful pains in the back all day. I doctored with our family doctor, but he did not seem to know what I need- ed. I was recommended to try Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, and could sleep well three nights after starting the use of the Nerve Food and Kidney - Liver Pills. I take great pleasure in recommending these medicines, as I nave proved that they do all that Is claimrel for them." When used together the Nerve Food should be used aster each meal and at bed -time, and the Kidney -Liver Pills only as often as is necessary to keep the bowels in healthy condition.

We are not encouraged to believe that the Russian police Inspector is the equal oi". the trained French official if 'Anton Chekhoff's story of the deduc, tive method in Russia is illustrative. One morning a young man hurried Into the office of an inspector of police and reported that his master, an officer ad the guard who had been separated from his wife and lived alone, had been murdered. He was greatly ex- cited. Tho inspector went with him at once to the scene of the tragedy. When ho arrived at the house he found the door to the officer's bedroom locked, the key on the inside. The servants, unable to awake their mal- . ter, had concluded that he was dead. The inspector found the door unin- jured. He had it forced open. The bed had been tossed about, tbe pillows on the floor. On a table near the bed was the officer's watch and some silver coins. The officer and his clothing were gone except for a single boot that lay on the floor. The inspector exam- ined the room carefully. The only thing he found was a partly burned safety match. It was known that the officer did not smoke and used only sulphur matches for his candles. He examined the garden below the win- dow. The grass and some bushes had been trampled. He found a piece of cotton on some twigs and some fine threads of dark blue wool. At some distance from the window, in the gar- den under a bush, he found the second top boot. The inspector came to the conclusion, from the evidences, that the man had been strangled and his body taken out through the window. The fact that the watch and money were undisturbed showed that the pur- pose of the crime was not robbery. The safety match indicated that some person above the ordinary was con- nected with the affair, since peasants or common servants would have only sulphur matches. The fact that one boot remained in the room made the inspector believe that the guardsman had been killed while he was undress- ing. The finding of the other boot in the garden indicated that this one had been partly removed and had fallen off while the body was being carried away. The inspector in his report recon- structed the crime: On the evening in question the guardsman, who had been on a prolonged debauch, went to his room drunk. As he sat on his bed, taking off one of his boots, he had been attacked and smothered with the pil- low. During the struggle the candle was knocked over and afterward one of the assassins relighted it, striking a safety match. When the man was dead his body had been taken out through the window and carried across the gar- den. As it passed the lilac bush the remaining boot, partly removed by the man before he was attacked, dropped off. The inspector, having arrived at this deduction, determined to locate tbe safety match. Ile went to all the shops in every direction, but not one of them carried in its stock such a thing as a box of safety matches. Finally, at some distanee from the scene of the tragedy, he found a shopkeeper who had a single pack of such matches. It was a broken pack, with one box miss- ing. The shopkeeper remembered pre- cisely who had purchased this missing box. It was the wife of the guards- man, a big, masculine woman of un- usual physical strength. She lived near the apartment in which the guards- man had been murdered. It was now might, but the inspector went at osyee 3o the woman and charged her with the murder of her husband. "I know all about it," he said. "Take mo at once to the place where you have concealed your husband!" She got a key from a nail on the wall and went out into the courtyard, The inspector followed. They finally readied a tittle house at the end o:t the garden. The woman unlocked the door and they entered. Ey the light of a candle the inspector saw the long body of a man lying motionless on a bed in the corner of the room. He approached to examine the murdered body. Bat here his deductions went to feces. The supposed dead man eat and the explanation of all the tragic incidents appeared. The guards- man uar sman was going to bed every night drunk. His wife heard of it and went across the garden to his window to remonstrate with him. die put the window up and, seeing who it was, threw his boot at her. She Was a resolute woman in Masculine efficiency. Sbe climbed in through the window'', thrashed the drunken guardsman soundly, dragged him across the gar, den and locked him tip in the bath- house, where site determined to keep him until he should be soder.

The waiter did not ask him for his order, but im- mediately brought him a plate of bread Hat Not Had An Hour's Sickness Since and cheese and a glass of ale. Having Tailing "FRUIT-A-TO/ES". consumed his lunch, the guest sat up- right in his chair for awhile, leaning his hands on a heavy walking cane and staring blankly at the opposite wall as if in a dream. Of a sudden he gave a start. He seized the empty glass and dashed it , to the floor with all his might, smash- ing it to atoms. He then reflected for a moment, laid a coin on the table, got up and left the inn without a word to any one. After his departure another guest bad the curiosity to ask the waiter whether the gentleman who bad just gone out was not wrong in his bead. Quoth the waiter: "Oh, no, sir! That's nothings unusual with 'im, sir. 'Ee's broke maybe a 'undred glasses since 'e's been a -comm' to this 'ouse. 'E don't seem to know it when 'e does it, '11 just gits a-thinkin' and seems to git hangry at somethinh e's tbinkin' abort. It's the great Lord Macaulay, sir." --St. :Tames' Gazette, What Love Is. Love is a journey into a new coun- try, and, like any other journey, its length depends entirely on what the country has to show. There should be woods with silent undergrowth, where comfort lives; bright rivers of vitality, clean cities, built on foundations of fine tradition and splendid with the towers of learning and religion; green fields, where simple thought and senses play like young cattle, and mountains so high that as one climbs one breathes quickening air not known to ordinary men -so high that by day the earth lies clear beneath like an open map, and by night the stars are just beyond arms' length above. In such a coun- try a man can live forever. -Rebecca West in New Republic. In Either Case. After walking together from the sta- tion the two men paused at the corner of the street. Then said one of them, a newly married man: "We are just close to my house. Won't you come in and have a bit of dinner?" "Thank you!" said his friend hesitat- ingly. "But your wife" - "Oh, that's all right!" the young hus- band quickly assured him. "If her cooking is a success she'll be pleased to have another to eat it, and if it's a failure -I shall!" Never quit when. failure stares yatt is the face. A little more energy often t bringea a failure into at greet aUrx bs. Filth of Erzerum. Erzerum, the Armenian city, is, from the European point of view, one of the most undesirable places of resi- dence upon earth. It stands more than 6,000 feet above the sea, and in winter the temperature falls to 20 de- grees below zero, while in the passes by which it is approached rages' the tipi, a terrible blizzard. But Erzerum is at its worst in summer owing to the appalling lack of sanitation. The people simply pile their refuse of all kinds on the pavement before their houses, which pavement has long be- come invisible, and mortality is so heavy that of twelve children, a com- mon family, it is lucky it six survive. -London Chronicle.

Canada has raised 350,000 soldiers for 8,000,000 population. New Zealand's 1,000,000 population is all recuitable in the sense that the New Zealand people' are of exclusively British origin. Canada's population is non -recruitable to the extent that 3,000,000 out f Canada's 8,000,000 are Quebec French or of Austro-Greman origin. Canada's 350,000 soldiers represent a high percentage of recruits per million of recruitable population than New Zealand's 60,000 soldiers. Canada's recruiting record will not stand com- parison with the ideal of Canada's duty. Canada's recruiting record will stand comparison with the records a- chieved by Australia, New Zealand or the British nations outside of England and Scotland. -Toronto Telegram. Wearing Your Rubbers. How to elude your wife when she in- sists that you positively must wear your rubbers when you go out: First. -Tell her you positively will not do it. This will produce in her an attitude of resignation, and she will almost forgive you for not wearing them for giving her a chance to set the role of a martyr. Second -Say that you never wore rubbers before you were married. She will then tell you that you were al- ways sick, too, and will work herself into a jovial glow by thinking what good care she is taking of you. Third. --Wear the rubbers to keep peace in the fatuity A Museum Sensation. There was a sensational ineldent in the British museum on Feb. 7, 184S - the disastrous attack by a visitor on the priceless Barberini vase, belonging to the Duke of Portland. As there was no law then for the punishment of such an act of vandalism, a fine of £5 (the value of the glass case) could only be imposed. But it led to the passing of an act for the protection of works of art from similar danger. --London Standard. Man and the Mouse.
