NERVOUS BREAKDOWN

Worry -A Tonic is Needed.
Overwork and worry gives rise to
nervousness, sleeplessness, headaches,
lack of ambition and lack of interest
in your work, weak back, indigestion
and sometimes a complete breakdown
of the nervous system. On every hand
you Tina victims of this kind and often
they do not know what to do for them-
selves. If these are the symptoms you
need a tonic, and the only way to tone
up the nerves is through the blood, Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills are a direct nerve
tonic because they enrich and build up
the blood, and it is through the blood
that the nerves are fed, Under their
tonic influence nervousness, with all its
attendant evils, disappear, and the
worried sufferer again enjoys health
and strength. Proof of the value of
Dr. Williams' fink Pills in nervous
troubles is given by Mrs. Lara Schiev-
ing, Lundar, Man., who says: -"I was
attacked with nervous trouble which
almost drove me to distraction. It
would be almost impossible for words
to describe my condition. The least
thing would startle me and leave me
trembling for an hour. I had nervous
headaches, and slept very badly at
nights,some nights not atall.My appetite
grew poor, and I was really a physical
wreck. I had been to several doctors and
had but taken many different medicines.
without any benefit. Then I read of a
case similar cured by the use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, and I sent for
a dozen boxes fully believing it would
take at least that many to cure me.
You can judge of my gratitude, how-
ever, when I found that after using
only half a dozen boxes •I was again
enjoying the best of health, and have
since remained well and strong. I
used the remainder of the pills among
my children when they seemed out of
sorts, and have found them at all times
to be the very best of family medicines."
You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
through any dealer in medicine or by
mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for
$2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine
Co., Brockville, Ont.
U,SES OF SALT.
If food is tasteless without salt, it
is ruined with too much. Unappetizing
cooking is often due to guesswork. A
level teaspoonful of salt is sufficient
for a quart of soup, sauce or vegetabl-
es.
Salt used once a day is an excellent
dentifrice, tending to keep off tartar.
It is said to retard receding gums.
A half teaspoonful of salt added to a
cup of hot water -which many persons
take each morning -will make it pala-
table.
Salt water rots the hair, so never
fail to rinse with fresh water after sea
bathing,
To set color in wash materials and
embroidery cotton soak them in strong
salt water.
An excellent tonic for nervous people
is to take salt rubs twice a day. As
sea salt dissolves slowly, some of it can
be kept in solution in a glass jar to be
ready When needed. The entire salt
bath is also good.
Where a child is inclined to bow legs
or to have a weak back, rub it night
and morning with strong salt water.
A faded carpet is freshene,I if wiped
off with a wet cloth wrung from strong
salt water. Sprinkle floor with damp-
ened salt and sweep well.
Bad dyspepsia can be helped by dis-
solving pinches of salt on the tongue
after eating, or when there .is a sense
of oppression.
Why Not Same in Wingham?
Mr. George Ross, Chief Superinten-
dent of Postoffices for Canada, was in
Listowel on Thursday of last week in
conference with Mr. Morphy, who went
over the town with him, and the Chief
Superintendent has located about up-
wards of twenty points at which letter
boxes will be erected for the conven-
ience of citizens at all times, and par-
ticularly in inclement weather, for
mailing their letters near their own
doors A carrier will be appointed to
empty these boxes twice a day, an hour
before leaving lime. No doubt the
citizens of Listowel will appreciate this
service as it is one which will bring the
postoffice to n ?arly every citizen's door.
-Listowel Standard. Wingharn is just
as important a centre as Listowel and
why not our town receive the same
consideration as Listowel. Who will
make the move?

We Cheerful Fellows,
There are men who do the great deeds,
There are men who lead the way,
But you need not sit and whimper
That you're not on top to -day.
For the world's in need of kindness,
And the world's in need of cheer,
And the world's in need of laughter,
Oh, you can be useful here.
It may be that men outclass you
On the battlefield of life,
And that earthly fame and glory
Fall to others in the strife.
But the world's in need of patience,
It's in need of soldiers true,
And it wants a cheerful toiler
Just about the size of you.
All the great deeds are not heard of,
All the great men are not known,
There are many gellant heroes
That are plodding on alone.
Heroes doing deeds of kindness,
As they sing along their way,
They're the brave and cheerful fellows,
You can join their band to -day.

A Popular School.
It is freely admitted that among the
High Grade Commercial Schools of
Canada, the Wingharn Business College
stands in the fore front. In point of
attendance this college is only exceeded
by three or four in Ontario. It is affi-
liated with the Commercial Educa-
tors' Association of Canada, and its
management last year trained and
placed in excellent positions, over two
thousand young people thus making
them the largest trainers in Canada.
A few months ago Mr. Spotton visited
Business Colleges in Detroit, Cleveland,
Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, New
York, and Boston; and with the know-
ledge of Business Science gained from
his tour, he promises the most modern
training that can be procured. Thou-
sands of ambitious young people are
studying entirely at home by means of
the Home Study Department, while
they follow their regular work; others
are studying partly at home end will
finish at college. the Wingharn Busi-
ness College guarantee positions, Last
year the demand for its graduates was
many times the supply. All interested
in bettering their condition should
write, call, or phone for particulars.
This institution re -opens Sept, 2 and 3.
Canada's New Money.
The new five dollar Dominion notes
are proving quite popular. Already
eight million dollars of these notes
have been put in circulation. The pub-
lic, however, Is not making much de-
mand for the recent gold coinage, The
principal demand seems to come from
British Columbia. The eastern public
has been too long educated in the use
of bills to want gold, and the principal
request is mostly for souvenirs and
curiosities.
YOU CAN THANK ADVERTIZING,
Next time you step into the corner
store, take a look around, Of all the ar-
ticles on the shelveet how many were on
your shopping list five years ago? Make
it ten years, and you will find that most
of the things you buy to -day -and could
not do without -were not even made
then. You men and women who buy
things, let this sink in. You are better
men and women because of advertising,
You eat more wholesome food. You
wear better clothes. Your home is bet-
ter furnished. You have cleaner and
more sanitary houses. You read better
books and magazines, You seek more
healthful amusements. Your whole
standard of living has been raised --and
why? Because the men who matte these
better things are telling you that you
will he more comfortable, happier and
healthier if you use these higher grade
goods. It is advertising that encourag-
es the inventor to make new comforts
and new utilities and enables you to buy
them almost immediately after they are
perfected. J. J. Hill says this "high
living" costs more. True for J. J. -
but is it worth more. And leaving the
cost aside, do you want to go back to
buying jam out of a pail, oatmeal out of
a barrel, raisins out of sticky boxes, or
tea exposed in an open chest? Do you
regret the money you paid for a player
Piano? Would you forego the new style
razor? Isn'ta Tungsten worth a thous-
and candles? Would you now be enjoy-
ing these if enterprising manufacturers
had not told you about them in their ad-
vertisements? Isn't life brighter be-
causewe have new and higher standards
of living? Let us thank advertising for
it.
