10r. Ludwig. 3Iond, Who Is to Produce
Gas ot Two Pence Per 1,000 Feet.
Dr. Ludwig Mond claims the dis-
covery of a method of producing gas
at a cost, of two pence per 1,000 feet.
The gas is derived from coal gas,
niade by forcing the latter product
through ineandescent coal. Naturally,
with a eheapetwd gas the industries
connected with electrical lighting and
steel product ion must undergo very
wide reforms. Perhaps it is prema-
ture to speeelate regarding the pos-
sibilities of Dr. Mond's invention be-
ing made available for public use at
an early date. It is, neverthelesse in
'nowise surprising that chemistry
should be equal to the task of afe
fording cheaper fuel anti lighting. The
' consideration that the discovery of
aniline dyes, itself ea matter Of chord -
cal rpsearch, revoldfionized the whole
of the dyeing industries, should show
us that in the domain of gas reform,
iso to speak, science may well achieve
great ,and lasting results.

Awl. said that there was really no

that many of the ohl hands were

nothing to lose by a strike. Iht said
there was no truth in the claim of
the eeetion men that other organize,

organizations were well satisfied
with their treatment, and had also
expressed the opinion that the in-

Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills is Mrs. Alex. ;
Fair, a well known and highly ee-
teemed resident of \Vest ;

nearly two years Mrs. Fair was a
great sufferer from troubles brought '
on by it severe attack of la grippe. A
reporter who called was cnrdially re
ceiVed by both Mr. and Mrs. Fair, and:.
was given the following feces of the
citee : "In the spring of 1800 ,I was ;
attacked by la grippe for which I
was treated by our family doctor lett
instead of getting better I gradually ;
grew worse, until my whole body be-
came racked with pains. I consulted ;
one of the best doctors la Ontario
and for nearly eighteen months fol-
io w ea his treatment but WILI-10111all y
material benefit, I had a terrible
cough which caesed intense pains in
my head and lungs ; I became very
weak ; could not sleep, and for twee a
year I could only talk in a whisper
and sometinles my voice left me en- I
tirely. I came to regard nay
tion as hopeless, but my husband
urged further treatment and on bisi
advice our family doctor, with two
others, field a consultalien the re-
sult of which was that they pronomm-
ed my case incurable. Neighbors ad-
vised we to try Dr, Williams, Pink.
Pills, but after having already spent
over $500 in doctor's bills, T. did not
have much faith in any medicine but
as a last resort T, finally decided to
give them a trial. I -had not taken
many boxes of the pills before I no-
ticed an improvement in my condition
and thisencouraged me to continue
„their use, After taking the pills for sev-
eral Months I, was completely restored
to health. The cough disappeared ;
I no longer suffered -from the terrible
pains I once endured; my voice I ecame
strong again; my appetite improved,
itad I. was able to obtain restful sleep
once more,' While taking the pills 1
gained 37 pounds in weight. All this I
owe to Dr. William? Pink Pills a,ud
I feel that I cannot say enough in
their favor fore( lenoW that they have
certainly saved rey life, .
In cases- of this kind Dr. Williams'
