Mrs. Warren Randles, Rothesay,

three small children and had to stay in
the house all winter. So when spring
came I was all run down doing all my
work and looking after the children. I
felt all tired out and looked on the
gloomy side all the time. I decided to
try Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, and the
results were most satisfactory. I feel
fine now and am recommending the
Nerve Food to others."

HOW BLOTTERS ABSORB INK.
Being a Simple Explanation of Capil-
lary Attraction.
Every student of physics knows that
water will run up a narrow tube by
capillary attraction. Anything im-
mersed in water has a similar attrac-
tion for the water—that is, the object
becomes wet by the water that clings
to it. The amount is limited by the
weight of the liquid itself. Place your
hand in water and your hand when
withdrawn is wet. The limited :three -
tion between the hand and the water
is gauged by the weight of the water
that clings to the hand.
Imagine several hands placed close
together in water, but not touching one
another. If this composite hand were
formed of ten single hands it would at-
tract ten times as much water as the
one hand would attract and hold on its
surface. So a wisp of hay, composed
of a hundred spears of dried grass,
placed in water will remove a hundred
times as much of the fluid as would
cling to one spear. Bushes in a marsh
will remove a certain amount of water,
which will by capillary attraction cling
to their submerged parts.
Under the microscope fibrous blot-
ting paper when absorbing ink resem-
bles on a small scale a marsh matted
with shrubs and sticks and twigs
around which water is flowing, as ink
runs about and among the fibers that
together form the spongy paper. There
is a limit to the amount of liquid
which a blotter will absorb, as there is
a limit to the amount of water that a
marsh will absorb without overflowing.
That limit in the blotter is the com-
bined capillary attraction of the fibrous
shrubs and sticks and twigs that to-
gether form the paper.—Popular Sci-
ence Monthly.
COULD HARDLY MOVE .111 BED.
When the back becomes weak and
starts to ache and pain it is a sure sign
that the kidneys are not performing their
functions properly.
On the first sign of backache Doan's
Kidney ?ills should be taken and serious
kidney troubles prevented.
Mr. Francis McInnes, Woodbine, N.S•,
writes: " I deem it my duty to let you
know the wonderful results I have re-
ceived fr>m the use of Doan's Kidney
Pills. For a long time I had been suf-
fering from wea'. back and kidneys. I
used to suffer the most at night, and some
times cowl' hardly move in bed with the
pain. I could do no hard labor on
account of my back. A friend advised
me to give Doan's Kidney Pills a trial,
and I am glad I did for the pain in my
kidneys is gone; my back is strong, and
I can perform any hard labor and get
my good night's sleep. I only used three
boxes of the pills."
Doan's Kidney Pills are 50 cents per
box, or 3 boxes for $1.25; at all dealers, or

EQUINE EVOLUTION.
There Was a Time When the Horse
Was Only Two Feet High.
The variations which lead up to the
formation of a new species are so in-
sensible, they stretch over such a vast
period of time, that their survival value
from generation to generation is and
must be very slight. Take the case of
the horse, for instance.
The development of the horse seems
to stretch over a period of at least
•3,000,000 years, or from the eohippus of
eocene times, an animal less than two
feet high and probably weighing less
than a hundred pounds, to the horse
of late tertiary times, the pliohippus,
much like the superb creature Nye know
today, five feet high and weighing
1.000 or 1,200 pounds.
If this animal increased in height
only one-quarter of an inch in 10,000
years he would be six feet high in less
than 2,000,000 years. So, if we allow
him 3,000,000 years to develop in, his
increase in height must have been even
less than one-fourth of an inch in
10,000 years.
Think of it! Our horse of today might
be increasing or diminishing in size at
that rate and the fact never be noticed
during the whole period. In weight the
same—one-eighth of a pound in a hun-
dred years, and he would weigh 14,000
pounds in less than 2,000,000 years, a
rate of increase that our scales would
hardly detect in a century of time.
The transformations of the other ani-
mals have probably been equally slow.
Science would feel safe in saying that
a flying fish never becomes a bird. But
can we conceive how slight the change
would have to be in every thousand
years to bring it about in geologic or
biologic time?—John Burroughs

Improve Your Service!
To subscribers interested in developing pleasing telephone manners among
their employees we would suggest the following simple card of instructions:—
To
nstructions:—
To Employees!
We encourage and desire telephone trade. It makes up a
large percentage of our annual sales. Every employee, there-
fore, should be particularly considerate of all telephone callers
and should handle telephone orders in a way that will reflect
credit on the store and hold the good -will and patronage of our
customers.
Please read the following suggestions on answering the
telephone and follow them at every opportunity:
1. Always answer the telephone promptly.
2. Don't Bay "Hello.' Answer with your name and the name of your
department.
3. Be ready with your order pad, in order not to keep your caller waiting.
4. If you require help in handling the call properly, get it at once, or politely
transfer the call to the employee who can best handle it.
5. If you answer for another employee, offer to take the message, then call it
to the other's attention at the first opportunity.
6. Remember, abruptness or indifference drives away trade.

Don't Whip a Child In Anger.
It is absurd to whip a child who is
overcome by anger. The best thing to
do is to let him alone and let his pas-
sion wear itself out. If be could be
taken before the anger gets the upper
hand of him he might be controlled.
What the parent should do is to
study the things which will arouse the
child's anger and then avoid these
things. It is the height of folly for a
parent to excite anger in a child and
then try to control it by punishment.
It is worse than folly; it is brutal and
is likely to ruin the child.—Mother's

Cremation In Ancient Greece.
Cremation obtained among many an.
eient peoples. Especially did the Greeks
find spiritual grandeur in the concept
of the soul arising from the ashes of
the dead—the natural body—into the
empyrean, to dwell thenceforth with
the stars. Cremation was, indeed, an
honor denied the bodies of suicides,
those who had been struck by light-
ning and others deemed to have for-
feited the favor of the gods.—Scientific
