THE WINGHAM TIMES
It is all very well for fit :Illy people to admire
a slims figure, but no girl likes to be referred to
as thin as a match" or "Hat as as ironing -
board."
Thinness means that the tissnes are not pro•
perly fed and nourished. ft indicates a ten-
dency towards anaemia, which must he
overcome in its early stages. You may eat
plenty of food, but you are losing weight, and
with it reserve force. The blood has got thin
and watery.
It is usually the nervously energetic girl or
woman who wears herself down by worry and
anxiety, until the nerves become" irritable and
the form emaciated:
This condition never rights itself, and for
this reason you must seek external assistance,
such as is found in Dr. Chase's Nerve Food.
This treatmeirt should not be confused with fat -
forming, oil -composed preparations. It is
rather a true tonic, which sharpens the appe-
tite, improves digestion and restores richness
to the blood. Through the. medium of the
blood it feeds and nourishes the starved cells
and tissues back to health.
Tinder this restorative. upb :ildin', treat-
ment the angles disappear, and the form is
rounded out to healthful proportions. Tht' new
tissues formed are strong and firm, and give to
the body the buoyancy and vigor which makes
you look well and feel well.' Nervous head-
aches and indigestion disappear, and yon feel
again the joy of living. You can prove the
benefit obtained by noting each weak your in-
crease in weight.

A QUEER BUSINESS
To the Editor: --
A Toronto Hotel Keeper who is dis-
pleased at the 8 o'et;ek closing order
complained that no other busines't is
treated ie that way. Will °time of the
Saloon fraternity tell us what other
business is a burden on the tax payer?
Every other business Is self-supporting,
but the saloon has to be bolstered up
with a tax on the people that in the
United States amount to almost seven
dollars on every man, woman and child,
including of course those who never
touch the stuff. That is no haphazard
guess but aceutate atatistica gathered
from public. accounts by the American
Issue Newspaper showing that taxes
in license states are nearly seven dol-
lars per capita higher than in prohibi-
tion states.
Supposing that it Is only half of that
in Canada it amounts to 817.50 to the
average family of five. Why should I
be compelled to pay an increase tax to
support a business that 1 abhor? .If
the traffic had to support the paupers,
orphans and eriminals which it causes I
they would not get so rich and Io would
not have to pay so much taxes. One
hundred million dollars wasted in drink,
twenty-eight million increase taxation
and thousands of paupers, orphans,
criminals, etc., that is the work of the
saloon. Why should it be allowed to
exist?
Several so called hotel -keepers say
they will have to go out of business
which is an acknowledgement that they
are not hotel•keepere at all but saloon
keepers. It is surely time that the
hotel business be separated from the
business of making drunkards. The
real hotel business requires a superior
class of men with more than ordinary
business abilities and there are many
such but the majority of those who
parade the name hotel are a shame and
disgrace to the hotel business. It is
too bad that there is a stigma attached
to the very name hotel keeper which
should not be. Let a hotel be a hotel
and a saloon be known for what it is
the greatest curse on earth
Commercial travellers say that they
do not get as good accomodation in
hotels where liquor is sold as they do in
local option towns. One traveller puts
it this way. In the ordinary hotel we
pay one dollar and a h If and get fifty
cents worth. In the local option hotel
we pay two dollars and get the worth
of our money.
It is time for a change from making
drunkards to making munitions from
making paupers to matting prosperity
and from making criminals to making
men honest andindustrious.

A TURK AND A TELEPHONE.
The Grand Vizisrr Looked en the NOW

Long years ago, before the Yotwg

the present writer was Intrusted with
negothttions for the issue of a "lite
Mon" (couvicesieui permitting the In•
staliation of the public telephone in
Constantinople. says a contributor to
the London Chronicle. Said the then
grand vizier, "This talking machine of
which you speak, 4'sn it be placed any'
w here?"
"Anywhere, highness."
' Then followed an exhaustive ex-
tenuation of the conveniences of the
system and the advantages certain to
ntteud establishment of telephone cem-
muuleation between bis highness' pri-
vate residence and the imperial pal-
ace.
"I think I understand; eoireet me if
I am wrong," said bis highness. "It

A handsome rug is a joy to every
housewife. Then don't spoil the ones
you have. Of course, they gather dirt
and must be cleaned and that is where
many of us make a mistake. Don't
place a fine rug on a line and beat it
—or have the men folks beat it Con-
stant beating on a line has a tendency
to break the fibre of the rug, and, if it
is a fringed rug, to wear out the fringe.
Lay the rug face down upon a clean
grass plot and then heat it to your
heart's content. Afterward turn and
sweep it thoroughly. You will find
that this adds both to its appearance
and durability.
Low ceilings must have light, striped
effects, and if necessary to give a good
appearance the same paper used for
the walls may make a border to the
ceiling, dividing it from the ceiling
paper proper. All draperies should be
hung straight and narrow so as to give
an idea of height.
To prevent toughness, sponge, or
other cakes, should always be made
with hot water. The texture and color
of cake mixed with water is lighter
than when milk is used.
Don't fill rooms with all sorts of
trashy gimcracks which ought to be in
the scrap heap. Don't spend money on
them nor waste time in making them.
Simplicity is always in good taste while
too much decoration is sometimes
positively "common."
COLLEGE ST., TORONTO.
Dear Mr. Editor:—
Thanks for your kindness in allow-
ing me the privilege of appealing at
this Christmas time on behalf of the
Hospital for Silk Children, Toronto.
In the 40 years of the Hospital's ex-
istence there have been treated within
its walls 26,108 children as in -patients;
231,768 as out-patients; a, grand total
of 257,876 in and out-patients.
The Hospital for Sick Children gives
a province -wide service, for little
patients front every section of On-
tario have sought its aid. Last
year 499 patients were admitted from
232 places outside the city of Toronto„
In 1914 there were 394 from 210 places.
Of the 2,838 In -patients last year
1,771 were medical cases and 1,067
surgical, In the orthopedic department
of the 2,838 in -patients, 264 were
treated for deformities, 21 Pott's dis-
ease of the spine, 10 lateral curvature
of the spine, 10 bow-legs, 57 club -feet,
17 dislocations of hip, 42 tubercular
disease of knee, hip, ankle, wrist and
elbow; 76 infantile paralysis, 8 wry
neck, and 21 miscellaneous.
Our battle is never-ending—is one
that will continue while the world Lasts,
for it Is the fight between the armies of
life and death, to save the child life,
the sick little ones, sons and daughters
not only of our soldier men, but of
the fathers and mothers stiII in this
homeland province.
The Hospital is beating back dis-
ease and death, the enemies that as-
sail the lives of little children as the
British Empire is beating back Ger-
many, Austria and Turkey, the ene-
mies that assail the life of liberty.
So we appeal to the generous people
of Ontario not to forget those so near
and dear to us,'who lie in the beds and
cots of this great charity.
Will the people at large, as of old,
respond to our call? Will they remem-
ber
emember that every year is a war year for
the Hospital, every day a day of battle,
1 and that the Hospital needs money,
{ not tor its own sake, but for the chil-
1 dren's sane?
The Hospital has waged Its war for
forty years. The people of Toronto
and Ontario have been its friend, and
this year of all years it requires help.
Surely you will give to a charity that
cares for every sick child in Ontario,
' for only as your money reaches the
Hospital can the Hospital's mercy
reach the children.
Every dollar is a link of kindness in
the chain of mercy that joins the
money in your pocket to the miseries
of some child's life, some mother's
I heart.
Remember that f'hrietmee calls you
to open the purse of your kindness to
the Hospital that the Hospital may
open the heart of its help to the
children.
Will you send a dollar. or tnore if
you can, to Douglas Davidson, Secre-
tary -Treasurer, or
J. ROSS 1101it.RTSON,
Clle:man of the tioat•d of Trustee*,

A naked house, a naked moor.

proeeed at once to tbe palace, as his
majesty wishes to see me immedl-
o telt'."

cedure is wonderful:"
"Tint would happen every night. i

as it is. 'fake the thing away, It is
an Invention of the evil one, and I wilt
have nothing to do with it,"
They have a telephone system now
In Constantinople.. But it took over
twenty years to establish it, and it is
more than probable that the view en-
tertained by the average Turk with
regard to its merit does not materially
differ from that expressed by his high-
ness, the grand vizier.
Yete;hall your ragged moor receive
The incomparable pomp of eve,
And the cold glories of the dawn
Behind your shivering trees be drawn
And when the wind from place to place
Doth the unmoored cloud -galleons
chase,
Your garden gloom and gleam again,
With leaping sun, with glancing rain,
Here shall the wizard moon ascend
The heavens in the crimson end
Of day's reclining splendor; here
The army of the stars appear.
The neighbor hollows, dry or wet
Spring shall with tender flowers beset;
and of the morning muser see
Larks rising from the broomy lea;
And every fairy wheel and thread
Of cobweb dew-bediemonded
When daisies go, shall winter -time
Silver the simple grass with rime;
Autumnal frosts enchant the noel
And make the cart -ruts beautiful;
And when snow -bright the moor ex-
pands
How shall your children clap their
hands,
To' make the earth our heritage,
A cheerful and a changeful page,
God's bright and intricate device
0£ days and seasons doth suffice.

DEEP SEA LIFE.
Why It Cannot Exist Much Below the
Four Mile Level.
In the American Magazine Cleveland
Moffett describes the discoveries made
by scientists wbo aboard the steamer
Albatross esti all over the globe at a
depth or three or four miles and bring
up specimens for museums. Dr, Aus-
tin H. Clark of the Washington Na-
tional museum, was the scientist in
charge of this interesting vessel during
nue of her recent cruises in the Pacific.
in the following extract taken from
his article Mr. Moffett reports a con-'
t•et:satiou that he had with Dr. Clark:
"1 inquired how far down in the
oceau life is found, and the scientist re-
plied that while soundings bare been
token to a depth of six miles no traces
of life have been found mach below the
four mile level, and oceanographers be-
lieve that at the bottom of the great
ocean abyss, say at tbe five or six mile
levels, no life exists or can exist.
"Because of the immense pressure?"
"No, because of the lack of food.
You might tbink that food would sink
to the bottom. since some of the deep-
est areas are near the shores, notably
north of the West Indies, east of Ja-
pan, south of Newfoundland and, deep-
est of all, east of the island of Guam,
Undoubtedly there is an abundant food
supply on the surface of the ocean at
tbese points, yet none of it in sinking
will reach the bottom for the reason
that whatever is not devoured on its
way down by creatures of the sea will
be dissolved in the lower levels, where
the solubility of water is greatly in-
creased, owing to the increased press -
ore. Not only is It believed that prac-
tically all animal and vegetable matter
is dissolved at n depth of five or six
miles, but the softer bones of animals
are probably dissolved. leaving only
the very hardest ones to reach the bot-
tom. Thus the trawl nets bring: up
from great depth sharks' teeth and the
ear bones of whales, which are ex-
tremely hard, but very rarely other
banes."
A Brief introduction.
Mark Twain said the Only introduc-
tion to a literary audience that seemed
to him the right word in the right
place, a real inspiration. was as fol-
lows:
"Ladies and gentlemen, 1 shall not
waste any unnecessary time in the in-
troduction. I don't know anything
about this man—at least I only know
two things about him. One is that he
bas never been in prison, and the other
is I can't see why be hasn't,"
Approval.
"You approve of your wife's public
speaking?"
"Yes," replied Mr, Meekton. "I'd
tether she told her views about eco-
nomics and sociology to the throng
than have her handing them Out to mo
as little bedtime stories."—Washington

Getting Even.
The belle of the little town was get-
ting married, and among the spectators
was the reporter of the local news-
paper. He was a uliseruble man. LTe
had wanted to marry the bride, but the
other man bad cut him out. But he
got even. This is what he wrote:
"The bride was radiant in a beautiful
lavender silk frock, orange blossoms
and veil and long, long white gloves,
size 9 and split at the thumbs,
"The groom was as straight as a salt
made by the best tailor a juld male
him and as red in the Nee 'as was to
be expected from boots two sizes too
small and a fifteen inch collar round a
seventeen inch neck. Fortunately be-
fore the 'ceremony was over his collar
stud broke and sared him from chok-
ing to death."—London Answers.
The Key of Death.
The "key of death" is apparently a
large key which is sbown among the
weapons at the arsenal at Venice. It
was invented by Tibatilo, who, disap-
pointed in love, designed this .instru-
ment for tbe destruction of his rival.
The key is so constructed that the
handle may be turned around, reveal-
ing'a small spring. which being press:
,ed a very fine needle is driven with
considerable force from the other esd.
This needle is so very fine that the
flesh closes over the wound Immediate-
ly, leaving no murk, but the death of
the victim from poison is almost in-
stantaneous.
Wasn't She Right?
The lesson in natural history had
been about the rhinoceros, and the
teacher Ranted to know how well the
lesson had been learned.
"Now, name something," she said,
"that is very dangerous to get near to
and that has horns."
"1 know, teacher, 1 know:" called
tittle Annie Jones."
"Well, Annie, what is it?"
"An automobile." — Ladies' Boma
Journal,
An Exception.
"Happiness," declaimed the putloso-
pber pompously, "Is only the pursuit of
something, not the catching of It."
"Oh, I don't kuow," answered tbe
plain citizen. "Have you ever chased
the last car on a rainy night?"—Ladies'
Some Journal.
Devilfish,
Devilfish weighing up to 200 pounds
are sometimes caught in Japan. These.
&sb are amphibious. They are often:
seen wabbling on their tentacles like!
giant spiders in search of patches of
sweet potatoes. The natives kill them
with clubs. In the water they are
caught in jars lowered to the bottom,
wbich the octopus enters, thinking
them a good retreat from which tO
catch its food. •
Proverb Didn't Apply.
Mrs. Brown was in the kitchen heap-
ing Nora, the cook, prepare supper.
"It'3 an old saying," she remarked to
Nora, "that 'too many cooks spoil the
broth.' What do you think?"
"Sure, mum," she replied. "there's
