Iii the days of our fathers and grand- fathers, "rheumatism was thought to be the unavoidable penalty of middle life and .old age. • Almost every elderly perston had .rheumatism, as well as many young people. It was thought that rheumatism was the mere effect of exposure to cold and damp, and it was treated with liniments and hot applications, which sometimes gave 'temporary relief, but did not remove the trouble. In these days there were. many cripples. Now, medical science understands that rheumatism is a dis- ease of the blood, and that with good, rich, red blood any man or woman of any age can defy rheumatism. Thereare many elderly people who have never felt a twinge of rheumatism, and many who have conquered it by simply keep- ing their blood rich and pure. The blood enriching qualities of Dr. Wil- i Hams' Pink Pills is becoming every year more widely known, and the more I general use of these pills has robbed , rheumatism of its terrors. At the first; sign of poor blood, which is shown bye loss a appetite, dull skin and dim , eyes, protect yourself against further ravages of disease by taking Dr. Wil- liars' Pink Pills. They have helped thousands --if you give them a fair trial they will not disappoint you. You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine or by ,mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Plants That Can See. To s'pealt of a plant being able to see seems extraordinary, but.it can be pi orved by a simple experiment. Tack a piece of string along the wall parallel to, but on one side of, a loose tendril of creeper, In a short time the tendril turns its tip towards the sup- port, reaches for it, and clings to it. How could it do this without sight? The common bramble may be no- ticed growing over a pile of stones or e an aid wall. To get food and to help itself it pokes the points of its grow- ing shoots into any cranks • an crevices where there is a little earth or mould, and the shoot, as scon as It strikes food, changes its ehape and character and bee:nes clubbed, flinging out real roots, which take hold of the soil and teed upon it. Plants ase also sensitive to touch, taste, and thirst. The common sun - dew, which grows in boggy plat ts., sieves upon insects, and is the best known English flesh -eating plant. All carnivorous plants' have a sense of taste, and like or dislike certain things. This ,can be proved by placing on their leaves morsels of various • foods. The leaves will close at "once upon meat, but will have nothing to do with sugar, starch, and so on! Trees suffering front thirst will do amazing •things to satisfy this crav- ing. An elm has been known to send out a root sixty fleet to reaoh a little pool, while a poplar has burrowed un- der a road, with a brick wall on one ride and a hedge on the other, in or- der to reach a well. The roosts have been found forcing their way through a brick wall in oi'd,er to drink. That First Job. How will Miss High School go about selecting a job this fall? Blindly or carelessly or both, far to often fox her own good, says Miss Emma Phin- ney, director of the employment work. of the Young Women's Christian As- sociation. "If more care was .given to fitting the beginner -into the right job at 16 or 20, there would be fewer breakdowns at 35 among business women," says Miss Phinney. "A girl pore than a man must have congenial work or an atmosphere in which she ie happy er the strain tells upon her health. When a beginner doesn't know what she wants for her first job she needs sonic one to take time to unearth her talents ar best abilities,. For this• the non- commeraiat1 •agency has a big respon- sibility." Girls' •seeking • their first job fallow the help wanted aides utterly obvious of whether the job is to fit them or they are. to fit the job. Their mother's cousin works, at B•lank'a;and they go there. "If the first job was regarded in the light of- a stepping stone it wouldn't matter so much,". Miss Pdiinney eon - tinted, "but for girls who 'lack initia- tive the first job more or lesis deter- mines their future." A Screw/en Corkscrew. The ordinary ,form of corkscrew, while effective enough for its purpose, often destroys or renders useless the cork on which it is used, frequently breaking it and cawing, l e: ticies of cork to be mixed with the Jicfnid'in the, bottle. A. new device _ eoenitly patent- ed in' England, avoids these desadlant- ages. In form it is not 'a screw at all, butt: eons'bsts of two narrow strips of. bighly flexible spring steel fitted into an aluminum handle. The , stripe are not quite equal in length. To remove a cork, the longer of the two strips' is inserted . between the °ark and 'the neck of the bottle and is pushed down until the shorter end' can also be inserted. Then both ends are foroed: home by gently pushing and 'rocking" the bottle so as to ap- ply pressure to each strip alternately. An upward ,pull accompanied by a twist of tike "corkscrew"' removes the 'cork in perfect :condition, ready for use again. Keep Minard's.Liniment in the house.. The Diseases of Old Age.
