Causing Great Pain.
THE CURE WAS
DR WOOD'S
?Norway Pine Syrup.
Miss D. M. Pickering, St. Catharines,
,..-,..4nt., writes: "having derived great.
benefit from Dr. Weed's Norway • Pine
Syrup, I, thought 1 would write and tell
you o y experience. When I first came
out frill England I contracted a severe
cold, owing to the change of climate.
It settled on my lungs, and caused the a
great deal of pain, I tried every remedy
1 could think of, but got no relief, My
father, who bad heard a great deal about
the good qualities of Dr. Wood's Norway
Pine Syrup, advised me to try it. I did
so, and I aim pleased to say. found im-
ruecliate relief. I only took one bottle
and it cared me completely. My mother
had a severe cold also, and Dr. Wood's
Norway Pine Syrup cured her, so, we
never fail to keep a bottle of it in the
house."
See that none of those so-called "pine
syrups" are handed out to you when you
go to y our druggist or dealer and ask for
"Dr. Wood's." It is put up in a yellow
wrapper; three pine trees the trade mark;
price, 25c and 50e.

His Brain
Contains Nothing. But
•
Mathematics.
It is reported from India that a
mathematical genius has been discov-
ered there. He is about fifteen years
of age, is wholly illiterate, looks sim-
ple, almost witless, and is very shy.
His brain is a mathematical machine,
and seems to contain nothing but
mathematics. Any question you may'
ask him that relates to figures he an-
swete with astonishing rapidity.
One of his feats was the division
of a line of sixteen figures by another
line of six. In another case he was
asked the cube of a large number,
taken from a table of such calcula-
tions in a book. One numeral in his
answer differed from that in the book.
The examiner showed him the book,
but he insisted that he was right; the
sum was worked out on paper, and it
proved that the book was wrong and
that the boy's computation was cor-
rect Physically, the boy is abnor-
mal. He has too many fingers and
toes, and is probably defective in
other ways.
Joke Was on the King.
Victor Emmanuel, King of Italy, is
a keen fisherman, and spends hour af-
ter hour with his rod, though the best
luck does -not always attend his pis-
catorial expeditions. Once, after sev-
eral hours' angling had brought him
only three poor fish, and he was re-
turning to the castle, when he was
met by a peasant with a magnificent
catch of trout.
"You seem to be no great fisher-
man, to judge by your catch," com-
mented the peasant. "I should say
you were about as lucky as the king."
"Why?" in quired his Majesty,
"Oh," replied the peasant, "he
thinks a great deal of himself as a
sportsman, but he is a poor body,
much more fit to be a king than- a
fisherman:"
Not for Him.
Goodheart-I've got you down for
a couple of tickets; we're getting up
a raffle for a poor man of our neigh-
borhood.
Joakley--None for me, thank you.
L wouldn't know what to do with a
poor man if I won him.
Usually Not.
"Pa, a man's wife is his better half,
isn't she ?"
"We are told so, my son."
"Then if a man marries twice there
isn't anything left' of him, is there?"
HALF THE ILLS OF LIFE
Are Caused By CONSTIPATION.
Whin the bowels become constipated
the stomach gets out of order, the liver
does not work properly, and then follows
the violent sick headaches, the sourness
of the stomach, belching of wind, heart-
burn, water brash, biliousness, and a
general feeling that you do not care to do
anything.
Keep your bowels regular by using
:Milbti n s I,axa-Liver Pills. They will
clear away all the effete matter which
collects in the system and make you think
that "life is wr
wo t1i living."
Mn B. W. Watson, St. John, I.V.B.,
writes: "I have been troubled with
constipation, for the last three years,
• end during that time have tried several
remedies, all of which failed to help me.

ANY PEERS"" LOST
I TEE GREAT WAR
HOUSE OF LORDS IS A HOUSE
OF MOURNING.
ny Peers With Army are 1Vlissing,
and Their Fate is
Unknown..
The House of Lords is described as
a house of mourning. Of its 640 odd
members, there are but few who have
not suffered bereavement through the
terrible conflict which has now been
raging for more than a 'year. Great
Britain's peerage has been hard hit
by the war.
But the peers of the realm have
not been content with giving their
sons to the country for the defence
of its flag, More than X00 of them
are to -day enrolled for service to the
State other than that.of a legislative
character. Those who are too old
for duty at the front in France and
on the Gallipoli peninsula find means
to render themselves useful in other
Ways.
Long es. the roster' of the dead per-
taining to the peerage in the present
war, the list of the missing is still
larger -aye, and sadder. For where-
as the word "killed" means that the
officer pr soldier in question has had
his remains reverently cared for and
+nterred with religious rites, mostly in
consecrated ground, by his comrades,
the word "missing" leaves the bereav-
ed relatives in doubt as to those clear
to them have been left to linger badly
wounded or have been killed.
Among the peers who have come
under the head of "missing" in the
present' war is the fifth Earl of Erne,
who until the outbreak of hostilities
was a favorite equerry of King George
and a lieutenant -colonel of the Royal
Horse Guards. He was last seen at
Wytschaete, in Belgium, on the even-
ing of the 1st of November. He went
out from the British lines to bring in
somemen who had apparently become
separated from the main body. He
did this against the advice of a fellow-
offieer of the name of Captain Bowlby
who feared treachery. Lord Erne, 6
feet 4' in. in height, and a very strik-
ing -looking and handsome man, strode
up to the soldiers who were arrayed
in' English nniforms. Captain Bowl -
by, through his glasses, saw . them
closing around Lord Erne, and wait-
ed in vain for his return, in the end
being compelled to assume that the
men had been Germans.

beans will improve their flavor. Add
it when they have finished baking.
It is more economical to cook po-
tatoes in their skins. They can be

boiling than before.
Throw your orange peel into the

It is best to give linens .a long

Hard cheese is more digestible if
grated. . Certain people can eat cheese
prepared in this way who cannot di-
gest it in any other form.
When toasting in the front of .a
hot fire push the handle of your fork
through a piece of cardboard, which
will shield your hand from the heat.
After boiling salt beef leave two
or three carrots in the liquor until
cold. These will absorb the salt, and
the liquor can be. used for soup.
Veal ought always to be thorough-
ly cooked. If it is well cooked it is
not a dangerous article of diet. Only
when it is eaten underdone is it in-
digestible.
The best and only way to get -finish-
ed with the many household duties is
to sweep the doorstep and pavement
first, and then work quietly away in-
side and talk to no one.'
Vegetables,Instead of Meat. .,
Salads are capable of infinite var-
iety, so when fish and cheese fail
vegetables which approach animal
foods in nutrition may be served, and
either the .oil in the' dressing or the
fat in the cream or melted butter of
a boiled dressing be depended upon to
supply the necessary oil. Try a corn
salad. A pound of this vegetable con-
tains as much protein as is found in
half a pound of lamb chops or half a
dozen eggs. Cool freshly boiled corn,
also some rice (dried in the oven un-
til the grains separate), salt slight-
ly
light
ly and mix them in equal quantities;
fold in some stiff mayonnaise and
serve very cold in lettuce cups. Beans,
peas and lentils, which are all so rich
in protein, are very desirable' for
salads in place of meat. Cover two.
cups of cold baked beans with French
dressing and let stand a" half hour;
drain, sprinkle with half a teaspoonful
of onion juice, mix with cream dress-
ing, arrange on' lettuce leaves and
garnish with parsley and hard -cook-
ed eggs. Lentils combined with
onions, peppers and parsley, and sery-.
ed on cress with French dressing,
make a hearty and tasty salad.
A fruit salad has the added ad-
vantage of being very healthful, for
nearly all fruits hold acids and salts
in solution which are cooling to the
blood, and there are so many fruits
available that none needs to become
tiresome. Pears, as a salad possibil-
ity once tried, will appear often this
way: Peel large pears, halve them,
remove the. cores . and drop them into
cold water in which is a tablespoonful
of vinegar o keep them white. Fill
the core cavity with either grated
cheese or cream cheese bals and serve
on lettuce with French dressing.. Pur-
ple egg plums may be used instead of
pears, with lemon juice substituted
for vinegar in the dressing. A pretty
salad can be made •from watermelon
or cantaloupe by scooping out with a
large spoon pieces from the ripest
parts, draining, chilling and serving
in lettuce cups with French dressing.
When mayonnaise is used with fruits,
leave out the mustard and pepper,
put in a little sugar and ,use lemon
instead of vinegar always. In no
case should a boiled acid dressing be
used with fruit salad,

A casserole dish is an excellent ves-
sel in which to bake beans.

NOT QUITE SUCH A JOKE.
One Pound of Feathers Outweighs
One Pound of Lead.
The old joke, "Which is heavier, a
pound of lead or a pound of feath-
ers ?" is not quite such a joke as it
seems at first glance.
Archimedes taught us the truth
that a body immersed in a liquid or
gas receives an upward push equal to
the .weight of the liquid or the gas it
displaces. Suppose we arrange a
pair of scales so that one of its arms
can be introduced under the bell of
an air pump, and place upon each of
its arms a weight, say one pound,
both weights made of the same size.
They will exactly balance each other.
If*we exaust the air from under the
bell, producing`a vacuum, we remove
the .upward push, and the arm of the
balance that is in the vacuum des-
cends. If, . on the contrary, we com-
press the air under the bell we make
the displaced air - weigh more, and
consequently the upward push is in-
creased and this, arm of the balance
ascends.
It is manifest that the greater
amount of air displaced the greater
will be the upward push. Suppose
now we balance a pound of lead on
one arm and a pound of feathers on
the other. They will, ofcourse, ex-
actly equal each other in ordinary
air, for they were both weighed in
ordinary air. Now, let us put the
whole apparatus, including both
weights, : under an air pump. The
pound of feathers displaces far more
air than the pound of lead, and if .wo
exhaust the air we shall find that the
upward push being removed by ' the
exhaustion of the air, the pound of',
feathers descends and the pound of
lead attends, proving that the seem-
ingparadoe that a
pound of
feathers
iers
weighs more than a pound of lead is
no joke but a scientific fact.
Therefore it may scientifically be
said that of two substances having
the same weight and not the same
volume that having g the larger t ager vol»
ume is really the heavier.
Other Missing Peers.
Another missing Earl is Lord An=
nesley, who left England on Novem-
ber 6 last by aeroplane, bound for the
British lines in Belgium and France,
and who has never been heard of
since,
Still another instance of "missing"
is that of Lord Willingdon's eldest son
and heir, the Hon. Gerard Freeman
Thomas, lieutenant of the Coldstream
Guazads, who has vanished without
leaving either trace or clue, ever since.
the battle of the Aisne in France on
December 14 last. His father, who is
the Governor of Bombay, and his
grandfather, old Lord Brassey, of
whom he was a particular favorite,
have spent large sums of money in
endeavoring to obtain some informa-
tion as to his fate, but without avail.
.Lord Congleton, who lost his life in
the battle 'of the Marne, as an officer
of the Grenadier Guards, was head
of the house of Parnell, to which the
late Charles Stewart Parnell, the cele-
brated Irish Nationalist leader, be-
longed. Lord Congleton had made
all his arrangements to accompany
Sir Ernest Shackleton on his expedi-
tion to the South Pole. But on the
outbreak of the war he' cancelled his ;
plans and joined his regiment'for ser-
vice against the Germans in France.
Another peer to give his life for his
country has been Lord De. Freyne,
who fell at Ypres in the battle as a '
captain of the South Wales Border-
ers' Regiment, after a most romantic
career.

and the Duke of Devonshire, his A ROYAL ENGAGEMENT.
younger brother Lord John Coven
Princess of Orleans to Wed Prince
Philip of Sicily.
The fust royal engagement since
the war began, that of Princess Marie
Louise of Orleans to Prince Philip of
Bourbon -Sicily, will probably bring
a very quiet wedding. Both the youth-
ful bride and bridegroom are related
to practically every royal house in
Europe, and few of their .relatives
could, therefore, accept invitations to
meet one another.
The wedding will probably take
place near London, as the bride's fa-
ther, the Duke of Vendome, has a
country place at Wimbledon, where
his family has been living since they
fled from Belgium. The Duchess of
Vendome is the sister of King Albert
and she inherited a great estate in
Brussels from her father, the Duke of
Flanders, and was in the habit of
spending the greater part of the year
in Brussels.
The bridegroom's eldest brother,
Prince Ferdinand, Duke of Calabre, is
married to Princess Marie of Bavaria
dish, major in the First Life Guards,
while the Duke of Abercorn, has
lost his brother, Lord John Hamilton,
captain in the Irish Guards and de-
puty master of the King's household.
The Marquis of Northampton is in.
mourning for his only brother and
heir, Lord Spencer Compton of the
Royal Horse Guards, and old Lord
Ruthven, who has two other sons at
the front, is grieving over the death
of his favorite boy, Captain Christian
1, Horne Ruthven, of the Black Watch.
LADY MACKWORTH.
Conducts Father's Business Affairs
During Absence in America.
Lady Mackworth, the only child and
the business partner 'of David Alfred
Thomas, the "Welsh coal king," is
taking charge of her own and her fa-
ther's great financial interests during:
Mr. Thomas's absence in the United
States and Canada to buy munitions
of war for Great Britain. At Cam-
brian Buildings in Cardiff, the offices ,
of the Cambrian Coal Combine, which
practically control the whole Welsh
coal field, Lady Mackworth occupies
her father's office, receives and an-
swers all letters addressed to him,
and helps to make the momentous de
cisions in relation to the miners
which are just now affecting Great
Britain's war plans.
All of the demands of the striking
Welsh miners cone to Lady Mack -
worth for consideration, and Mr.
Lloyd George, in attempting concilia-
tion with the miners, can accomplish
,
little without Lady Mackworth s co-
operation.
A year and a half ago she was a
rabid suffraget, advocating the break-
ing of windows and getting herself
arrested for setting fire to a public
letter box, preferring to go to prison
rather than pay the fine. -With her
father Lady Mackworth embarked
from the United States on the last
voyage of the Lusitania, having a
thrilling experience in the rescue.
First to Fall.
The first British peer to fall in ac-
tion in the present war was young
Lord Hawarden, who was not in any
way connected with the Gladstone
family, as might have been inferred
from his title.
Gen. Lord Longford, fifth. earl of
his line, was killed at the head of his
brigade in the operations against the
.Turks on the Peninsula of Gallipoli.
Few houses of the. peerage have
suffered more in connection with the
war than that of Grenfell, which is.
represented by several members in
the Upper House of Parliament. Thus,
Lord Desborough, the famous athlete,
has lost both of his older sons.
One of the saddest cases of bereave-
ment has been that. of Lord Lincoln-
shire better known under his, former
name of Lord Carrington, now in his
seventy-second year. It was not un-
til he had been married for close up-
on twenty years that his hopes and
prayers for a son to inherit his title
and estates were finally granted. Tide:
son was a singularly attractive and
me lad,`
winsome whobore the title of
Viscount Wendover. He went to the
front early in the war as a 19 -year-old
subaltern of the Royal Horse Guards,
and was killed at the battle of Mons,

ley, captain in the Grenadier Guards,

MARCONI'S MODESTY.
Was the Hero of an Embarrassing
Situation.
Signor Marconi, whose hatred of
publicity is proverbial, has invented
an. apparatus that will enable anyone
to see through a wall two feet thick.
His extreme modesty was once the
cause of his being the hero of an em-
barrassing incident. He was out
walking in Rome one day when a
friend saw him and hailed him loudly
by name. Immediately he'was sur-
rounded by a curious crowd who
cheered him vociferously. Marconi
looked everywhere for a way 62
es-
cape, but could none.
At
last,
to his great joy, he beheld what he
thought to be an empty carriage pass-
ing 'slowly by, and he made a bolt for
it and jumped inside. His astonish-
ment may be imagined when he - dis-
:covered that the carriage was occu-
pied by a lady, but it was too late to
withdraw, and las the Lady was too
frightened bythe d
g sudden advent •of
her strange visitor to expostulate, she
allowed him to remain until they were
free of the crowd, It was only when
the crowd had been left far behind
that she realized the identity of her
unexpected companion.
' I ATI
HEART.
Sudden fright :or emotion may cause
'momentary arrest of the heart's action.
or some excitement or apprehension may
set t•p a rapid action, of the heart thereby
causing palpitation.
Palpitation, again, is often the result
'of digestive disorders arising from the
stomach, or niay be the result of over
indulgence of tobacco or alcoholic drinks.
The only way to regulate thisserious
heart trouble is to use Milburn's- 'Heart
and Nerve Pills.
Mrs. J. S. Nicholls; £,istowell, Ont.,
writes: "I was weak and run down, my
heart would palpitate and I would take
weak and dizzy spells. ' A friend ed -
wised me to try Milburn's heart and
Nerve Pills, so 1 started at once to use
them, and found that 1 felt much
stronger. I cannot praise your medicine
too highly, for it bas done mea world of
