It is an ailment peculiar to this age awl this continent. The placid, contented life of our ancestors has been left behind, and everywhere there is rush and strain, whether on business or plea- sure bent. Sometimes it is the cares and wor- ries of business, but oftener the strain of at- tending the round of society and amusement, which brings on collapse of the nervous sys- tem. It may be the lady in high soeiety who is the victim of it, or it may be the girl in the factory. You lose interest in Iife, feel tired and languid, find your daily duties a burden, can- not get proper rest and sleep, have headaches and indigestion, are nervous and irritable over little things, some of the vital organs fail in their functions, and you become down -hearted and discouraged. Any treatment to afford you more than mere temporary relief must increase the nerve force in the human system. The food you eat has failed to do this, so Nature must receive help from outside, just such help as is supplied Dr. Chase's tau t.m by Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, because this food cure is composed of the ingredients which go to form new, rich blood and new verve force. This idea of nourishing the. nerves back to health and vigor is comparatively new. It has proved to be the only means of rebuilding and revitalizing wasted nerve cells. While Dr. Chase's Nerve Food is put up in pill form, you should look upon it as a fund rather than as a medicine, became of its build- ing -up influence on the system. Nat•u•al and gentle in action and yet wonderfully potent in its reconstructive influence, this treatment is admirably suited to the needs of women who are pale, weak and run-down. It fills the body with rich, red blood, re- stores the appetite and improves the digestion, thus enabling the body to get the benefit of the food you eat. It rekindles the vitality of the nervous system, and through the nerve fibres carries vigor and energy to every organ in the body. You soon feel better and look better. Hope and confidence are restored. The organs assume their natural functions and you find yourself well on the way to health and happi- ness. erve Food Fifty cents a box. 6 boxes for $2.50, at all dealer:,, or Edmanson, Bates & Co., Limited, Toronto. 411111111111111,,,,..7.

IOW YCtL tut ria,� 1gall Pits OF Historic Retreat of Seven Thousand Lonely Monks Is a Place of Ex- ,: , „ r Mys- tery and Charm—The Existence of the Celibate inmates Would Not Appeal to Most Persons, Among the possessions of disrupted Turkey in Europe there is none to which the Greeks have greater claim than the holy Mount of Athos, the most easterly prong of nature's trident --the three similarly shaped peninau- las that extend into the Aegean Sea a few miles east of Salonica. Among the inhabitants of the sacred mount, sono 7,000 in all, the greater part are Greeks, Igen who have withdrawn, most of them voluntarily, front life to eke out a lonely existence among the rocky defiles of the peninsula, divid- ing their time between the oultiva- tio.e of heaven and earth. Mount Athos, situated at the ex- treme southern point of the peninsula, roars its snowcapped summit 6,850 feet above sea level. It looks for all the world like one of tin' pyramids .1 Egypt transplanted to a Bolder Aline, and its history is replete with ne much myst<try and ethane. .etenid c•n the plain of el d Trey--tee-day -wallow• esi up in tine Maine Anatolia—and you may Beer the it, itry peak of Athos against the seethe:: sun.

Young monks come from the outside world to take the plate: of those who in their own belief arc merely "translated," but the name of this or that monk remains but a mem- ory. Life there is the downhill stum- ble to old age and the grave. Never a gay laugh and seldom a smile, that the sun shines on this God chos- en spot in vain. There are twenty monasteries or: Mount Athos, all belonging to the ,or- der of St. Basil and twelve affiliated - monastic communities where live the lay bre.thers. Others of these religious devotees occupy hermitages far dis- tant from each other, their goings and their coming: guided by the 'ascetic principles of St. Athanasius. Of the monasteries the largest is Russian, there are two Serbo-Bulear- ian and the rest arc Greek, se, that the latter race is largely en the ma- jority, and time dominates the com- munity and the Assembly which governs it. To this Assembly each monastery sends one representative. The m'eneestcry libraries are vast sterehouees of information, contain - beg until comparatively recent times many priceless relics which the monks, their intellectual development leaving been left to its own devices, cored little or nothing for. Milny of these documents tell in the language of Xemephun of the glories of a Greece that was. Indeed much of the history of the east is boiled up in these dust -filled coffrefcrte in which freer) time to time this oe that wan- derer has come acres:s a priceless relic to carry off to the museums of Europe. One of the meet notable finds was a papyrus containing the tel•dee of Ac 'ep ill Coii;'inhie verse. Dot so litany curio colic etors , attracted by the fale lour tile of voyagers, have taken passage for Mount Athos that the III,inks have Immune ;uspicieus and now refuse entrance to nearly all stransers. The lancer part of the mo- nastic valuables, h1 wover, are in safe and more worthy band -s. The Turks destroyed much of the valuable papyri in the rnonaeteries in making cartridges during the; war of tate Greek indepen.l'cixe in 1820-29.
