MAKES MONEY TALK
Wonderful Invention of Englishman to
Foil Counterfeiters
Money tants—literally—hr England.
Over there they have invented the
"speaking bank note," which pro-
claims out loud, in the best English,
Pa correct value.
Bankers advocate the immediate
adoption of the speaking bank note.
It would do away at once with coun-
terfeits. When you suspect a ten
dollar bill, instead of fingering it,
3ooking at it with a microscope" and
using various other round -about meth-
ods, all you have to do is to ask it
to its face: "How mucic are you
worth?"
If the bill replies, in a etraighttor-
e: rape
W
ward way, "Ten dollars," you can
atscept it as genuine. But -1f it hest -
It is agrave
est-Itisaave mistake for mothers to neg- I
lect their and pains and suffer in
silence—this only leads to chronic sick-
ness and often shortens life.
If your work is tiring; if your nerves are
excitable; if you feel languid, weary or
depressed, you should know that Scott's
Emulsion overcomes just such conditions.
It possesses in concentrated form the
very elements to invigorate the blood,
strengthen the tissues, nourish the nerves
and build strength.
Scott's is strengthening thousands of
mothers—and will help you. Try it.

PALPITATION
OF THE
HEART.
Sudden fright or emotion may cause a
momentary arrest of the heart's action,
or some excitement or apprehension may
set up a rapid action of the heart thereby
causing palpitation.
Palpitation, again, is often the result
of digestive disorders arising from the
stomach, or may be tlic result of over
indulgence of tobacco or alcoholic drinks.
'rhe only way to regulate this serious
heart trouble is to use Milburn's Heart
and Nerve Pills.
Mrs. J. S. Nicholls, Listowell, Ont.,
writes: I was weak and run down, my
heart would palpitate and I would take
weak and dizzy spells, A friend ad-
vised- me to try Nlilburn's Ileart and
Nerve Pills, so I started at once to use
them, and fount! that I felt much
stronger, I cannot praise your medicine
too highly, for it has done inc a world of
good."
Milhurn's Heart aur! Nerve Pills are
50c per tee, '3 .1',oxes for 81.25; at all
dealers, or mailed direct by The T.

would be able to show that the ap-
prehensions of the would-be interpel-

The crisis in the aviation office re-
turned with redoubled acuteness
after the Zeppelin raid on Paris a few
days ago, when a German dirigible
sailing low in a heavy fog dropped
tons of bombs on the city and killed
upwards of two -score persons. The
French aeroplanes gave chase, but
the Zeppelin slipped away In the
mist. Paris had believed herself sate
from such raids, and the general
auger found its target in M. Besnard.

About "Fruit-a-tives"
Steel Rings in Seamen's Caps.
It has conte to the notice of the
Board of Trade that steel rings are
sometimes used inside officers' caps
and become magnetized. Owing to
their close proximity to the compass
needle, when worn by an observer
taking compass bearings, such rings
are liable to cause considerable de-
viation and render the obserro'atioo
unreliable. The Board of Trade are
of opinion that the use of steel rings
for this purpose should be diacon-
tinued, and that rings made of a
non-magnetic substance Should be
substituted. Care should also be
taken that no articles of steel 'hat
may, by becoming magnetized, deflect
a compass needle are worn or carried
by ships' officers when taking com-
pass bearings.

Carried Safely Through Change
of. Life by Lydia E. Pinkham's
1 Vegetable Compound. '
Nashville, Tenn.—"When I was going
through the. Change of Life I had a tu-
mor as large as a
child's head. The
doctor' said it was
three years coming
and gave me medi-
cine for it until I
was called away
from the city for
sometime. Of
course I could not
go to him then, so
my sister-in-law told
me that she thought
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound would cure it. It helped both
the Change of L fe and the tumor and
when I got home I dirt not need the doctor.
I took the Pinkham remedies until the
tumor was gone, the doctor said, and i
have not felt it since. I tell every one
how I was cured. If this letter will
help others you are welcome to use it"
