Nearly Lout Little Girl fro!d DYSENTERY She Was Curet By thine Dia FOWLE 'S Extract offIttl $tr'awberr°y. ):Dysentery manifests itself with varying degrees of intensity, but in well marked cases the attack is commonly preceded by loss of appetite, and some amount of diarrhoea, which gradually increases in severity, and is accompanied with griping pains in the abdomen. The discharges from the bowels succeed each other with great frequency, and the matter passed from the bowels, which at first resemble those of ordinary diarrhoea, soon change their character, becoming scanty, mucous or slimy, and subsequently mixed with, or consisting wholly of, blood. + Never neglect 'what at first appears to he a slight attack of diarrhoea or dysen- tery r cal, !lin. Cure the first symptoms by the. use of Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wil Strawberry. Mrs, John Peterson, Radville, Sask., writes.. "I cannot speak too highly for Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wilcl Strawberry. I nearly lost my little girl, aged three ears., I took her to the doctor, and he old me her temperature was 104, and. orbid me taking her out to our home, six miles from town, but I was forced to go on account of leaving my small baby home? We managed to get her home, but the fever did not go any lower, and we thought we would lose her sure, as she was so bad with dysentery she even passed blood. A neighbor came in and brought Dr, Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry, and told me to give her a few doses. Tliis we did, and the next day she took a change for the better, but it was quite a time before she was on her feet again. I do believe if it had not been for 'Dr. Fowler's,' my little one would have died." The genuine "Dr. Fowler's" is menu - fa red only by the T, Milburn Co., Luented, Toreuto, Ont. Price, 35 cents.

Unless the liver is working properly you may look forward to a great many troubles arising, such as constipation,. severe headaches, bilious headaches, sick headaches, jaundice, sick stomach, etc. Mrs. J.

Clean furniture with turpentine and it will keep the gloss. Bath sponges should be hung out in hot sunshine as often as possible. When making sponge cakes in pat- ty tins see that the oven is very hot. Mix cream cheese with chili sauce and serve on lettuce salad for a relish. Let beets stand in cold water after boiling and they will skin easily. If a bay leaf is added to tomato soup it will give it a delightful flavor. To clean rusty knitting needles rub with kerosene and polish with pumice. Some people put a small bag of lime inside the piano to keep the damp away. Shoes should be well sunned and aired, and several pairs should be kept in use. In cleaning painted woodwork it is better to use a strong kerosene wa- ter than any kind of soap. Milk will keep sweet longer if it is put into a stone jar that has been thoroughly cooled than it will in a bottle.

Great care should be taken in handl ing fruits and vegetables. Where they have a natural, probective cov- ering, it should not be broken. Then, to secure the best result, all vege- tables, except dried peas and beans, should be put on bo cook in boiling water, and the water made to boil again as soon as possible after vege- tables have been added, Careful washing of all vegetables is another important item.

It was a dramatic moment when news reached England that Colonel Marchand had forestalled the British occupation of Fashoda. Kitchener took a flotilla of ten steamers with 4,000 men up the Nile before Fashoda and invited Colonel Marchand on board. The latter thus reports the conversation : "I have come to re- sume possession of the Khedive's dominions," Kitchener began. "Well, General, I, Capt. Marchand (as he then was) am here by orders of the French Government. I thank you for your offer of conveyance to Europe, but I must wait here for In- structions," was the reply. "It is a long time since you had any news from France ?" "Some months, General ; but my orders are to wait here." "Major, I will place my boats at your disposal to return to Europe by the Nile." "General, I thank you, but I cannot accept your offer. I am waiting for orders from my Government" "A good many things have happened since you started on your journey."

London's Once Popular Vehicle Was Patented In 1834. The hansom cab has had but a short lite, says the London Chronicle. Eighty-one years ago -on Dec. 23, 1834 -Joseph Aloysius Hansom, a well-known architect, designer of the Birmingham Town Hall and the founder of the Builder newspaper, took out the patent for the cab to which his name was graven. He after- ward sold his rights for $10,000, but the money was never paid. In 1881 - the year preceding Hansom's death -- there were no fewer than 9,662 licen- sed hansoms In London, and to -day the vehicle is seldom seen. There is one spot in London on which, by the provisions of a special Act of Parliament, a cab -stand may not be appointed. Under the Act of George III., c. 134 s, $5, the inhabitants of Bloomsbury square obtained powers to prevent any such stand being erect- ed near their dwellings. SHE BETRAYER OF MISS CALL. STORY OF TIIE MAN WHO PUT IIIM TO DEATIL Roger de la Marck Was Selected by a Bcigian Sepret Society. The International News Bureau publishes what purports to be a verb- al report of the story of Roger de la Merck, the man who killed the spy, Nets de Rode, who betrayed Miss Cavell to the Runs. The news of de Rode's death was published long ago, but the details of the affair have never been given to the publie before. The story bears the charac- ter of voracity. De la Marck was a member of a Belgian secret society organized for the purpose of punish- ing spies and traitors, and, when it became known that de Rode was a traitor and guilty of Miss Cavell's death, he was selected to carry out the work of vengeance. He tells how he waited at night near the residence of de Rode's parents and at length saw the traitor approaching: "In two minutes I was face to face with the unfortunate object of my night vigilance, "Standing within three or four feet of him I informed him of what I was about to do. I told him if he kept C CURED IfSPEPSJA Unless the stomach is kept in good shape your food will not digest properly but will cause a rising and souring of food, a feeling of rawness in the etomach, pains in the stomach or a feeling as if a eavy weight were lying there.

One day a friend told ine to try Burdock Blood Bitters, as he had seen it advertised.

"Now, from this distance, this act of mine seems to me rather reck- less. I can ascribe this apparently foolhardy act of mine to my utter timidity, or perhaps nervousness. I was younger than my victim by five years, yet he looked just at that hor-' rible moment like a mere child.

"I remember it as one remembers a horrible dream. I lifted the dead body of my victim clean from the ground, threw it over my shoulder, bore it some distance, and stood him I against the door of his father's j house." The slayer was taken by the Bel- I gian civil police, and handed over to the Germans, but no evidence being' found against him, he was allowed to go free, the German officer making the significant comment: 'Time will , obscure the deeds of both good and bad men, but the deed of a traitor is never forgotten.' Afterwards de la Marck went to the home of de Rode's father and told of his deed: "I announced my name, but they did not know my name. Then I told , them, 'I killed your son.' I was ex- cited, otherwise I would not have announced it so brutally. No Sorrow for Traitor. "I must have been fully insane, or why should I have visited my vic- tim's aged parents ? I would not have done such a thing in my sober mind. "However, I had not visited the house for the purpose of boasting of my act of murder. Forgetting the gravity of my act, I had visited. Major de Rode's house to apologize to him in person for having suspected him of being a traitor like his son. -He was not a traitor, and I told him so. "To my utter surprise it was the aged woman who spoke first. She told me that it was not the death of their son that caused their tears; it was the death of the soul of their only child that moved their hearts. 'What shame for the dead. What shame for the living ones!' she wept, and the aged Major joined, "I left them abruptly and awkward- ly. I found myself speechless." As is well known, the father of de Rode refused to recognize or give burial to his dead son who had proven such a traitor to his country. Three or four others who were con- nected with the Cavell affair also suffered death at the hands of the Secret Society to which de la Marck belonged. ..,.._.,w -..oar Human Sacrifice in India.
