YoungThe Stomach Must be Toned and
Strengthened 'Through the Blood
The victim of indigestion who
wants to •oat a good meal, but who
knows that suffering will follow,
finds but poor consolation in pick-
ing and choosing a diet, As a mat-
ter of fact you cannot get relief by
cutting clown your food to a. starva-
tion basis. The stomach must be
strengthened until you .can eat
good, nourishing food. The only
way to strengthen the etomaeh is
to enrich the blood, tone up the
nerves and give strength to the
stomach that will enable ib to di-
gest any kind of food, is through
a fair use of Dr. Williams' Pink.
Pills. The one mission of these
pills is to make rich, red blood that
reaches every organ and every
nerve in the body, bringing renewed
healthand activity. The following
case illustrates the value of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills in curing in-
digestion. Mrs. T. Reid, Orange-
ville, Ont., says: "1 have much
pleasure in testifying to the relia-
bility of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
For severaly.cars I had suffered
greatly from etamaoll (trouble. Sev-
eral doctors prescribed for me but
their medicine did not help me. Af-
ter every meal I would suffer great
pain, and would often be attacked
with nausea. I grew weak and had
almost lost all hope of recovery.
Ab this juncture I decided to try
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which
were recommended to me. In these
pills I at last found the right medi-
cine, and I am once more in good
health. I have much pleasure un
sending you my testimonial in the
hope that it will encourage some
suffering persons to try this sure
remedy."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold
by all medicine dealers or will be
sent by mail at 50 cents a box or six
boxes for $2.50 by the Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co,, Brockville, Ont.

The Bradfor'ds Lad • settled in
their summer home nearly a week
when Louis, looking up from his
book one afternoon a tittle before
sunset, saw a .small brown head
pop out from lender .the corner of
the carriage house,
At first the only thing that he
could 'think of was a rat, for he had
heard his father say et breakfast
that rats bad been getting into the
grain. But he kept very still, and
in a little while the head poked out
farther, and then the whole body
drvi:lowed, and he saw that the ani-
mal was much larger than a rat, In
fact, ib was as large as •a full-grown
cab or a small dog. It •had al round,
fat body covered with grayish -
brown
-
brown hair, and a broad head with
small ears that hardly .showed at
all.
With little runs of a foot or two
at a time, the creature -ventured
farther and farther away from the
corner of the carriage house; and
then, to Louis's astonishment, it
stood up on its hind quarters, with
its forepaws hanging down in front,
and looked all about, to see whe-
ther it was safe to go any ifi'thea.
But jamb then Louis leaned 'too far
forward in his eagerness to see, and
his book slipped to the floor of the
piazza with a loud slam. At that,
the strange animal flashed back out
of sight into his hole so quickly
that it looked like a mere brown
streall.
When Louis told the gardener
what he had seen, the odd man
laughed, and said he guessed it was
only a woodohuck, and that they
would see him again before long;
but although Lonis watched for se-
veral days, he saw nothing more of
the brown head or the fat, round
body.
But one morning he waked very
early, and looking out of his -win-
dow, saw the woodchuck feeding in
plain sight on the grass plot behind
the house.
In the corner stood the little rifle
that had come to Louis's older bro-
ther as a Christmas present, and
on a shelf near by stood the box of
cartridges. Louis had been allow-
. ed to use the rifle when he was
with his brother, but had never
tried it alone. Now, he thought,
his chance •liad.come.
Very quietly he slipped over to
the corner, took down the box of
cartridges, and .slipped one of'tlllesn
into the rifle. Then, barefooted, he
tiptoed downstairs, carefully slid
the bolt of the back door, and step, -
ped out. Stealing to the corner of
the house, he looked round. Yes,
the woodchuck was still there, .and
still feeding! It had not been
(alarmed.
Louis raised the little rifle .slow -
]y, Tested' the barrel against the cor-
ner of the house, took careful aim,
and pulled the trigger, At the re-
port he saw something flop, and ran
to the edge of the grass plot. There
lay the woodehnok, still now, and
looking up at Louis with glazing
eyes, es if to say, "Why did you
do it?" And Hien the eyes closed,
and the woodchuck was dead,
Louis went back to the house; but
instead of feeling proud of what he
had done, he began to ask himself
why he had done it, and he could>
not find any good answer.
To be sure, 'he had heard the gar-
dener say that woodchucks destroy
green vegetables ; butwhen he look-
ed, after breakfast, he 'could find
none that seemed to have been nib-
bled ; and when he went to .see what
the little animal had been eating
when he shot it, he found , ony a
patch of clover.
"What about the young ones?"
asked the gardener :that noon.
"Young ones ?" asked Louis.
"What young ones?"
"Why, that old woodchuck had a
for ly. There are three young
ones in the hole under••bhe carriage
house, I •saw them ail out together
the other day," said .the gardener.
"Will they starve to death " ask-
ed Louis, much .troubled.
"I'm ,afraid .they will, :unless
somebody kills them — or feeds
them."
Louis asked no more questions.
That afternoon he went tte week
with a ep•ade at the corner of the
carriage house. Ib took him until
nearly night, bub when he finished,
he had three little belle of fur, with
frightened black eyes that watched
every move he made. The garden-
er found :an old squirrel cage in
the 10:fli\and into it they put the
throe orphans, with a big bunch of
fresh clover; and it the morning
the clover was gone. •
That is the way Louis gob his lit-
tle fancily. Two or three times a
day he had to feed them, but he
felt paid when he saw !]low quickly
they began to lose their feat- of hips.
In a week die could :take them out
of the cage and handle .them as he
could the kitten, and in two weeks

The cigarette habit amongst
smart women in England is respon-
sible for a curious fashion in smok-

One that resembles a fancy pierrot
suit of black charmeuse is covered
with a startling' design of emerald
green leaves, relieved with flashes'
of yellow an white. The trousers
are loose and baggy, the neck,

satin collar and green rutfie. An-
other suggests .a Chinese vase with
its background of blue covered with

cumbed to the craze for futurism.
The latest have a wide border of
some startling color, with a con-

leaves should be black or blue or

not usually found in a leaf. On
others are embroidered chickens, or

DR, ADAM. SIIOJIT"'1'.
IsReadof Viuunla'e Civil Seri lee
Coulni'ission.
There are net max,y Men, cvo n 01
this land of "mushroom" growths,
who lived to see extinguished the
village in which they were born.
Villages are .usually, slow growing
and usually are :persistent as well,
Especially is this true iu the old
settled Province of Ontario, Yet
the tale that I am now telling is of
such a man, He was born in the
village of Kilworth in the valley of
the Thames, and he is yet in the
prime of We, The man is Dr.
Adam Shortt, Civil Service Com-
missioner.
The village in which Dr, Shortt
eaw the light was ono of the old mill
villages of the early days in Ontar-
io. It was situated on the River
Thames, not far below Springbank,
which again is not far below the
City of London. London was eho-
een as the site of the capital of
Canada by Sir John Graves Simeoe,
who was Governor of Canada at the
end of the eighteenth century, and
this portion of the Province was
settled early in the century that fol,
lowed. Kilworth consisted of a
mill, a store, and a half dozen
houses. Its reason for existence
Was the mill, to which the farmers
from roundabout brought their
grain to have it ground. In the
middle of last century the mill was
prosperous, and gave a living to
two partners, of whom Dr. Shortt's
father was one. With the growth
of London and the drift of business
thither, however; the mill fell on
evil days, and had eventually to be
closed down, and then dismantled.
A few years ago Dr, Shortt visited
his native village, and found not a
building standing. Even the old
bridge was gone. The only means
of identifying the spot were the few
remains of foundations that it had
not been profitable to carry away.
The place has gone, and the name
has been picked up and bestowed
upon another hamlet in a slightly
varied form. Kilworth Bridge is in
the same valley of the Thames, but
is some miles distant from the ham-
let in whioh the present Civil Ser-
vice Commissioner was born.

GET TRIAL. BOTTLE TO -DAY.
You don't have to wait all day to
get the kink out of a stiff neck if you
rub on Nerviline. And you don't need
to go around complaining about lum-
bago any more. You can rub such
things away very quickly with Nervi -
line. It's the grandest liniment, the
quickest to penetrate, the speediest to
ease muscular pain of any kind.
One twenty-five cent trial bottle of
Nerviline will cure any attack of lum-
bago or lame back, This has been
proved a thousand times, just as it
was in the case of Mrs. E. J. Graydon,
of Caledonia, who writes: "I
wouldn't think of going to bed with-
out knowing we lied Nerviline in the
house, I have used it for twenty odd at the end of the ugh -ties he 'trans -
years and appreciate its value as a furred intothe department of poli.

Dr. Adam S'hogtt.
Shortt is an outstanding figure
among university men in the Do-
minion. Yet, whatever justifica-
tion there may be for the tendency
just referred to, there is no justifi-
cation for regarding Dr. Shortt as
narrow. He came inbo public no-
tice first as an economist, and per-
haps the dry -as -dust reputation of
political economy may have attach-
ed itself to him, But Dr. Shortt
was one of those men who was a
"calculator and economist" from
his youth up . His first love in the
halls of learning was philosophy,
and his turning to political, science
was an evidence of hie underlying
practical bunt. He was a -gold aned-
alist in philosophy cut Queen's Uni-
versity; and he began his career as
a teacher in the department of
philosophy at the same university.
In the meantime, however, his mind
had turned to the practical prob-
lems of the science of wealth, and
:day. 'If any - of the children gets a
stiff neck, Nerviline cures quickly. If
it is earache, toothache, cold on the
chest, sore throat, Nerviline i'e always
my standby, My husband once cured
himself of a frightful attack of lum-
bago by Nerviline, and for a hundred
ailments that turn up in a large fain-
ily Nerviline is by far the best thing
to have about you."

put forth hiseetller hand,"liters

Ile was 'teaching economics he was
studying the problem of labor and
capital at first hand in Government
commissions. Now that he is a
civil service commissioner, he is da -
voting his evenings to the investi-
gation of the history of the Domin-
ien. If he ever takes to historical
study as a aneens oflivelihood, one
may be confident that he will ac-
quire some new branch of learning
as a hobby.
• As civil service commissioner,
Adam Shortt ie. the cynosure of the
eyes of all politicians and of all
civil servants. He is also the head
at which all criticism is direoted.
He is doubtless human, and conse-
quently he may err. Bub one does
not have to be a champion of all
his official acts to recognize that
here is a man who is somewhat of a
rarity in our political machinery.
He is not afraid of the politician,
even of the politician in power. He
has hackhene. If he thinks he is
right he is not easily to be moved.
Such men are needed if we are to
have an efficient staff of public ser-
vants. The principle of competi-
tive examinations may be pushed
too far in choosing Government em-
ployes, and there must be allow-
ance made for other qualities that
come out on a -written test. The
Minister and his deputy have points
of view which require considera-
tion. But, after all, it is quite im-
possible to "take the service, out of
politics" unless you have men of,
backbone at the head of the Civil
Service Commission. — Francis A.

time it was feared that Mrs. J. Grant,
of 3 White St., would succumb to the
deadly ravages of advanced kidney

ago. For six years.that dull gnawing
pain has been present. When I ex-

If I caught cold the pain was unen-

nothing gave that certain grateful re-

. TIIE LION OF THE ROCK.
How Gibraltar Affects Different
Imaginations.
Gibraltar seen for the first time
by night from Algeciras is the em-
bodiment of romantic mystery, with
its rows of lights twinkling on the
impregnable fortress .rock, w:hieh
looms in shadow .behind them. Over
the shining waters of the Bay it re-
mains a .fascination by daylight,
though the mystery has lifted and
the outlines are sharp and clear in
the ,Southern atmosphere. Gibral-
tar works on all imaginations, and
in the matter of zoological compari-
son nonsense is often talked. Not
infrequently has the rock been com-
pared to a lion, but if a lion it be
it is difficult to know at which end
of it is to be found what Borrow
in language of admirable energy
has called "its blasted and perpen-
dicular brow. The Bible Society's
agent had himself no doubt that
"its stupendous head menaces
Spain." Thackeray, on the other
hand, says that Gibraltar is "the
very image of an enormous lion
crouched 'between the Atlantic and
the Mediterranean, and set there
to gnard the passage for its Brit-
ish mistress." If the lion guards
the Straits, its head is presumably
turned towards them and Africa,
and travellers on ithe boat between
Tangier and Gibraltar are wont to
point out that the head looks to-
wards Africa and that Europa Point
makes the fore -paws, It would be
interesting to know the opinion of
the majority in, let us say, a mili-
tary mess in Gibraltar.
THOUGHT IT WAS SUICIDE
A textbook of history, written by
one Il.ajayski, for Russian schools,
contains some extraordinary state-
ments, among them these; which the
London Star translates:
"Louis XVI. was a peaeable and
gentle monarch, .whe, in the course
of his long rein, showed himself
particularly skilful in finding ex-
pert ministers of finance. Loved
and honored by his people, the aged
monarch died suddenly after a glor-
ious reign, as the result of a fit of
apoplexy. He was succeeded by his
son, Louis XVII., who was obliged
to candied •several wars, wherein
the captain of his hosts, the royal
marshal, Napoleon Bonaparte, con-
quered a great part of Europe for
his king; Napoleon, however,
abused has power and made a pub-
lic attempt to rebel against his liege
lord and to compass his own ambi-
tious ends, Under the leadership
of Alexander I., king and autocrat
of all the Russias, the general was
deposed, deprived of all his honors
and dignities, and all ela.ims topen-
sion. He was banished to St. Hel-
ena."
MAPLE SUGAR SOUVENIRS.
Oh Dominion Day last year every
passenger who entered a dining ear
of the C,P.R. received a maple
sugar maple leaf enclosed in a little
box with a miniature Canadian
Ensign and a copy of "The Maple
Leal For Ever." In the United
States each particular fruit, such as
the orange, has its day, and the
C.P.R. idea, was to identify the
Canadian National Holiday with
this typical Canadian product. The
Quebec Government was nmoh in-
terested in tho idea and decided to
elaborate it on a still more eom-
pechensive scale, Quebec being the
province most intimately connected
with the maple sugar industry. In-
deed, the higher standard of purity
noticeable in commercial maple
sager is largely due to the enlight-
ened efforts of the Quebec Ministry
for Agriculture, which directs three
schools for educating farmers it the
best methods of tapping, distilling
and producing filo sugar. This
year, therefore, the ,Quebec Gov -
eminent itself has taken in hand
the Maple Day idea, and is itself
providing maple sugar souvenirs to
passengers served in dining ears on
all Canadian lines, following the
C,P.II,, example,
