RELIEF FROM INDIGESTION
The Most Common Cause of
This Trouble is Poor Blood
All conditions of depressed vitality
tend to disturb the process of digestion.
There is not a disturbed condition of
life that may not effect digestion. But
few causes of the trouble are so common
as thin, weak blood. It affects directly
and at once the process of nutrition.
Not only is the action of the gastric
and intestinal glands diminished but the
muscular action of the stomach is
weakened. Nothing will more promptly
restore digestive efficiency than good,
red blood. Without it the normal
activity of the stomach is impossible.
Thin, pale people who complain of
indigestion must improve the condition
of their blood to find relief. The most
active blood builder in such cases is Dr
Williams' Pink Pills. They make the
rich, red blood which quickly restores
the digestive organs to their proper
activity, and the dyspeptic who has
hated the sight and smell of food now
looks forward to meal time with
pleasure. As proving the value of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills in curing indigestion,
Miss Edith M. Smith, R. R. 4, Perth.
Ont., says: "I can honestly say I owe
my present good health to Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. My stomach was terribly
weak and I suffered from indigestion
and sick headache, and was always very
nervous. I was troubled this way for
nearly three years. and in that time
took a great deal of doctors' medicine,
which, however, did not help me. I
could not eat anything without ex-
periencing the most agonizing pain.
My sick headaches were most violent
and I could not rest night or day. I
was asked one day by a friend to try
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. and consented
to do so. After taking them some
time I found they were helping me, and
I continued to take them steadily for
several months, until I found that I
was completely cured. While taking
the pills I gained both in strength and
weight. and I feel it impossible to praise
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills too highly."
You can pro -are these pills through
any dealer in medicine or by mail, post
paid, at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for
$2.50, from The Dr. Williams' Medicine
Co., Brockville. Ont.
ST. RELENe.
Anniversary services and a tea meet-
ing are to be held in the Presbyterian
Church, St. Helens, next Sunday and
Monday evening, October the 1st and
2nd. Rev. S. M. Whaley is to take the
services on the Sunday.
One of the casualty lists issued dur-
ing this week contains the name of
Arthur Levis of St. Helens, among the
killed in action. Arthur was but a
young lad, barely old enough to enlist.
He was a strong, manly fellow, how-
ever, and succeeded in getting through
all right. He went overseas with the
71st. The Levis family have done a
good deal for the Empire. Mr. Lavis,Sr
is with the 161st; two sons who were in
England enlisted there and one is in the
navy,having been through the battle off
the Falkland Islands.

and Mrs. Scott, Wednesday, September

Catherine Isabel, became the bride of

The bride, who was given away by her
father,was gowned in ivory satin de
chene, trimmed with seed pearls and
wore the customary veil and orange
blossoms and carried a shower boquet
of bridal roses and lilies of the valley.
Bridal couple took their places under
an arch of evergreens to the strains of
Lohegrin's Bridal Chorus played by
Miss Ethel Scott, sister of the bride.
Groom's gift to the bride was a pearl
sunburst and to the organist a cameo
bracelet. After congratulations the
guests, numbering about 70, sat down
to a sumptuous wedding dinner prepared
in the usual good style of the hosetess.
Presents were costly, beautiful and
numerous and bespoke the high esteem
in.which the young couple is held. After
a pleasant evening was spent Mr. and
Mrs. McLennan left for thier home

LIKE A TiNY SOLAR SYSTEM.
Power and Possibilities , That Are
Locked In an Atom.
The most generally accepted theory
about the struetnre of the atom—
which is no longer regarded as the
ultimate indivisible particle of any
element, as this of course could have
no structure—Is that it is a positively
charged nucleus surrounded by a sys-
tem of electrons which are kept to-
gether by attractive forces from the
nucleus. Thus It becomes a sort of in-
finitestimally small solar system.
In an article in the General Electric
Review Dr. Saul Dushman draws the
following conclusions from a discus-
cussion of the laws that govern the
atoms of the several elements:
"Considering the relationships ex-
hibited by the different radioactive
elements, one realizes that the dream
of the alchemists may not have been
as .fatuous as has appeared until re-
cently. The concept of an absolutely
stable atom must be discarded once
for all, and its place is taken by this
miniature solar system, as it were,
consisting of a central nucleus and
one or more rings of electrons.
"But the nucleus itself is apparent-
ly the seat of immense forces, and in
spite of its exceedingly infinitesimal
dimensions it contains both alpha par-
ticles and electrons. Once in awhile
the nucleus of one of the atoms win
spontaneously disintegrate and expel
an alpha or beta particle. A new ele-
ment has been born. What causes
these transformations? Can they be
controlled? These are questions which
only the future can answer. But if
we had it in our power to remove two
alpha particles from the atom of bis-
muth or any of its isotropes, not only
would the dream of the alchemists be
realized, but man would be in posses-
sion of such intensely powerful sources
of energy that all our coal mines, 'wa-
ter powers and explosives would 'be-
come insignificant by comparison."
A Fine Judge of Eggs.
The ichneumon is an animal that
every housewife should possess. There
Is no finer judge of eggs in existence.
The ichneumon, in fact, makes a study
of eggs all his life, and he is not par-
ticular whether they are hen's eggs or
turtle's eggs so long as they are eggs.
It is impossible to deceive the animal
with regard to their freshness. If a
dozen fresh and partly fresh eggs are
mixed up together the wily little ani-
mal will pick out the fresh ones with
a certainty and quickness that are posi-
tively amazing. At the zoo he is pro-
vided only with the genuine newly
laid. He would have to be in a very
bad way before touching an egg that
was "shop laid."
*Matrimony.
Matrimony is like freemasonry—no
one knows the secret until he is -initiat-
ed. It is like an eel trap—very easy to
get into, but hard to get out of. It is
in its first stage like a wind that fans
the flame of love, but too much fan-
ning blows it alt out. It is everything
contradictory, sweet or bitter, just as
it is taken. In short it is—
Like a glaring light
Placed in a window on asummer's night,
Alluring all the insects of the air
To come and singe their pretty winglets
there.
Those who are out butt headp against the
pane;
Those who are in butt to get out again.
—Exchange.
A Widow at Nina.
Marriage at the age of thirteen, as in
the case of a woman who has just died
at Shoreditch, would not have been re-
garded as extraordinary in the seven-
teenth century. In those days children
of noble families, particularly Wards in
chancery. were frequently wedded at
the age of nine and sometimes even at
five. Little Moll Villiers. the Duke of
Buckingham's daughter, was not mere-
ly a wife, but a widow, at nine. and
we read of her romping in the garden
and climb'ng cherry trees in her wid-
ow's veil. In almost every iustauce.
however, such marriages were in name
only. and the little wives were allowed
to reach their teens before taking up
the burdens of wedded life.—London
Telegraph.
Office Ornaments.
"Yes, ma'am," commented the office
factotum whom long tenure of office
had made a bit censorious, "some of
these here young ladies about this of-
fice does precious little work. They
seems to think they's intended for of.
flee ornaments."
Then, seeing a shade cross the lady
manager's face, he hastened to add re-
assuringly, "But, ma'am, you ain't no
ornament."
Study of Synonyms.
Little Dulcie Was asked by her feast'.
er to define the word "whimsical." "It
ineans 'odd,' " she replied. "And now,"
the teacher went on, "please write a
sentence containing the word properly
used."
Hesitatingly the little ten -year-old
took up a pen and after a moment's
thought wrote. "There are two kinds
of numbers --whimsical and even."
The Similarity.
`'Lucky at cards, unlucky at love,"
quoted the wise guy.
"Well, either is simply a case of hold-
ing hands," said the simple mug.
Solve h,
The sphinx pronounced a riddle.
"How m&ny girls would swim out
hegotid the danger line if the lifegnsrd
teas a woman?" she asked. --Nese York

Toronto, Sept. 25—Receipts at the
Union Stock Yards to -day were 265 cars
made up of 4,099 cattle, 221 calves, 914
hogs, 1,906 sheep and lambs.
There was a heavy run of cattle in to-
day. Quality averaged low, and buyers
made a determined effort to lower
prices by about 50e below last week.
The result was a complete deadlock for
several hours, prices finally breaking
about 23c, when cattle began to move
out to the scales. Lambs were steady.
Hogs 50c lower,
