THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY
This 3s •a recent discovery of Doctor
Pierce, who is head of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at Doctor Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric acid
that can be compared to it. For those
easily recognized symptoms of inflam-
mation—as backache, scalding urine
and frequent urination, as well as sedi-
ment in the urine, or if uric acid in the
blood has caused rheumatism, it is
simply wonderful how surely "Anuric"
acts. The hest of results are always
obtained in cases of acute rheumatism
in the joints, in gravel and gout, and
invariably the pains and stiffness which
so frequently and persistently accom-
pany the disease rapidly disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and
simply ask for a 50 -cent package of
"Anuric," manufactured by Dr. Pierce,
or send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce' for it
large trial package. If you suspect
kidney or bladder trouble; send him a
sample of your water and describe
symptoms.. Doctor Pierce's chemist
will examine it, then Dr. Pierce will
report to' you, without fee or charge.
NOTE : — French scientists affirm that
',Anuric" is thirty-seven times more
active than lithia in eliminating uric
acid, and is a harmless but reliable
chemical compound that may be safely
given to children, but should be used
Only by grown-ups who actually wish to
restore their kidneys to perfect health,
by conscientiously using one box -or
more in extreme cases --as "Anuric"
( thanks to Doctor Pierce's achievement)
is by far the most perfect kidney and
bladder corrector obtainable.
Dr. Pierce's Pellets are the original
little Liver Pills. One little Pellet for
a laxative—three for a cathartic.

A Way Around
An Obstruction
• By ESTIIER VANDEVEER
A young ,man called at the puree o
Jenkins & Jenkins, attorneys, and was
shown into the ..private room of the
senior partner. w
"Ah, Mr. Quimby,'" said the lawyer,
laying aside sonic papers on his desk
and turning` his revolving chair side-
ways, "please be seated."
The young man took a chair beside
the desk. The lawyer continued:
"1 have sent fur you, Mr. Quimby, to
ask- your assistance in to very impor-
tant matter which concerns clients of
mine. A gentleman is very ill and de-
sires .to see his daughter married, be-
lieving, he will not recover. The young
lady's heart is set on certain man.
Maidenly modesty. prevents her pro-'
posing to the young mau, and he has
not proposed to her. Meanwhile her
father is urging her to matry`before he
dies. The young lady has appealed to,.
me to dud some way out of her diffi-
culty. I have suggested that she marry'
some one who It is to be understood
will part from her immediately after
the ceremony and who will agree to a
divorce so soon as her father dies. The
family is wealthy and will; pay liher'
ally for the loan of a hasband. Would
you consider an otter?"
The young man thought before mak.
lug a reply, but finally said:
"I myself have set my heart on a
certain girl. She ds or will be wealthy,
and, strange to say, her father is very
ill, the same as in the case you men•
tion. Unfortunately I have nothing
except a small salary. If I could get a
thousand or two in this way I ?would
be emboldened to propose to the girl I
love, but I don't know whether she
would have me. However, I would not
be any worse off than I am now if she
refused me."
"You would be $10,000 better off,"
said Mr. Jenkins.
"Ten thousand!"
"I am authorized to offer you that
sum."
Mr. Quimby debated with himself
whether or not to accept the ober.
What deterred him was that he feared
the girl he wanted would not marry a
divorced man. Mr. Jenkins said that
t
of course that was a matter in which
he had eo concern and Mr. Quimby
must decide it for himself. Mr. Quim.
by said that he would take the matter
into consideration, but the lawyer ob-
jected, saying that, owing to the fent
that the father of his client was very
low and possibly bis life might be
saved by the settlement of the. mattes
troubling him, an early answer was
desired. He offered 820,000 if Mr.
Quimby would give an immediate con-
sent. This settled the matter, and the
lawyer handed the young mau a con -
Tract to read.
"This is not signed by the Indy," said
Mr. Quimby after having perused the
document."
"I will bring ben here. and she will
sign It in your and my presence."
"Very well," replied Quimby, "but
there Is one thing 1 should like to have
put 111 the contract—that no one except
the bride, her father and her attorney
shall know of this marriage. I prefer
to make it known to the lady I wish
eventually to marry at such time as I
may select."
"Certainly," replied Mr. Jenkins, and
he added the clause to Mr. Quimby's
satisfaction.
The lady was phoned for, and while
she was on her way the groom to be
asked the lawyer when the wedding
would take place. Mr. Jenkins gave
him to understand that he could talk
that matter over with the young lady
Whelk she arrived. Mr. Quimby was
evidently much wrought upon by the
plunge he was about to make and
walked the floor nervously. Presently
the door was thrown open and an office
boy announced a lady. He was di-
rected to show her in. A. few minutes
elapsed, during which Mr. Quimby kept
his eyes fixed on the door anxiously.
Then a young girl entered, blushing
and spilling.
"Agnes!" cried the young man in
astonishment
"Yes, Tom—Agnes."
"Oh, Agnes, I was intending to do
this to make a raise to offer myself to
you not temporarily, but for good!"
"Why did you intend to take all this
trouble? If you wanted me, why didn't
you tell me so?"
"But it seemsthat you want another
fellow."
"He hasn't asked me,"
Agnes was smiling; and a grin over-
spread the face of the attorney. Tom
Quimby began to understand.
"Well, then, Agnes." •he said, seizing
the contract and fearing It into bits.
"I'm yours if you want we,"'
"Flow about the girl you were to
marry afterthe divorce?" she asked,
looking at him archly.
"Sinceyou are the girl there's no
need of bringingu that milder."
"My f)'ieuds interposed the attor-
ney, "1 bare other matters requiring
my attention. and I don't she that f
can be of any further service to you.

Lesson XML -.Third Quarter, For
Sept. 24, 1916.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, 11 Cor. iv, 1, to v, 4
(Quarterly Review)—Golden Text, 11
Cor. iv, 18—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
Lassos 1.—Poul at Thessalonica and
Berea, Acts ?vii, 1.15. Golden Text,
Acts v, 31, "Eiimn did God exalt with
His right hand to be a prince and a
Saviour." May we so see these men
of God going from place to place
preaching Jesus Christ crucified, risen,
and coming again, that we shall decide
to do likewise at all costs,' knowing
that everywhere some will believe,
though`others believe not
Lassos IL—The Thessalonian Chris-
tians, I Thess. 1 and iv, 13.18. Golden
Text, I Thess. iv, 14, "Them that are
fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring
with Him." It is refreshing to note
how these people received the message,
not as from men, but from God; how
effectually it wrought in them and how
they proclaimed it to others, seeking
to please God and not men (I, 8; ii, 4).
LESSON III.—Paul at Athens, Acts
zTii, 16.34. Golden Text, Acts xvli, 28,
"In Him we live and move and have
our being." In this gentile city, very re•
ligious,, but wholly idolatrous, Paul
preached Christ as the Creator of all
things and the sustainer of natural
life in all His creatures, but also 119
crucified and risen from the dead and
the appointed judge of all mankind.
Lessor/ IV.—Paul at Corinth, Acts
xviii, 1.22. Golden Text, Acts ?viii, 9,
"Be not afraid, but speak and hold not
thy peace." Working at his trade of
tentmaking, along with Aquila and
Priscilla, he continued at Corinth A
year and six months teaching the word
of God among them (xviii, 11). The'
opposition was great, but a night visit
from the Lord Himself with the gra-
cious message of verses 0, 10, was an
unusual strength and encouragement
LESSON V.—Tbe word of the cross, I
Cor. i, 18, to ii, 2. Golden Text, Gal.
vi, 14, "Far be It from me to glory
save in the cross of our Lord Jesus
Christ." Although Paul knew much of
the wisdom of this world, he renounce
ed it all for Jesus Christ, who bad be-
come to film the power of God and the
wisdom of God and who was made
unto him and to all believers wisdom,
righteousness, sanctification and re-
demption (I' Cor. i, 17, 18, 21, 24, 30).
LESSON VI.—The greatest thing in the
world, I Cor. alit Golden Text, I Cor.
13, "Now abided' faith, hope,
love, these three, and the greatest of
these is love"—greater than the gift
of tongues or understanding mysteries
or the power to work miracles, for God
Is Love, but without faith it is impos-
sible to please God.
Lassos VIL—The grace of giving, 11
Dor. ix. Golden Text, Acts xx, 35, "Re•
member the words of the Lord Jesus
that He Himself said, "It is more bless-
ed to give than to receive." Giving is
easy when the love of Christ con-
strains us, because of His great grace
and love to us, and when we remem-
ber that we have nothing that we
have not received, that all things come
from Him and we can only.give Him
His own which He has first given to ns.
LESSON VIII.—The riot at Ephesus,
Acta xis, 29-41. Golden Text, I Tim.
vi; 10, "The love of money 1s a root of
all kinds of evil." The record of the
riot is the least important part of this
chapter, but teaches what may happen
when business is Interfered with. Car-
,
rying the word of the « Lord into an
Asia and bringing the special sift of
the spirit to believers, this is some-
thing worth while.
Lessor IX. -Journeying to Jerusa-
lem, Acts xx, 16-27. Golden Text, Acts
xx, 32, "I command you to God and to
the word of His grace." The greater
part of this chapter tells 'of Paul's
farewell to the church at Ephesus
through the elders who came to Miletus
to meet him, with a mention of three
months in Greece and seven days at
Trees, on his way thither. Fie remind-
ed the Ephesians that for three years
he bad ts,ughtthem the whole counsel
of God (verses 27. 28).
LEssow X. --Paul's sorrows and com-
forts, II Cor. xi, 21-33. Golden Text,
II Cor. xii, 9, "My grace Is sufficient
for thee, for my power is made perfect
in meekness." I' think; thatthe record
of his sufferings, as in xi, 23.23, can-
not be equaled in the case of any oth-
er mere man, But he mast leve been
sustained by the glory whleu he saw
on the way to Damascus and while
ae was dead after his stoning at Lys-
CTA (xii, 141).

T; p to fhe end o. the
provincial yesr of 1814 the Province
had expended $2,076,8'38, while teat
year, according to reports just
brought down, the expenditure total-
led $689,910, Of thus total the re-
port of the Speeiel Commissioner,
F, Whitson,`ehows that $582.914 was
spent on road eonavao;tfdn, $8,075 in
clearing land and la the operation of
experimental farms and garden plots,
and $98,920 in supplying seed grain,
potatoes, and grass seed,
I Commlesioner Whitson reports
that 697 miles of new road were out
Seaforth . ... .Sept.21-22 out of the virgin forest during the
p year, 281 miles of new and old roads
I were graded and surfaced with gravel
or stone, and 113 miles of old roads
were partly graded or improved. In
ail 872 miles of road were under con-
struction. In addition to this a dam
was built 460 feet in length, across
the Frederickhouse River to improve
navigation on Night Hawk Lake and
tributary streams.
The work of clearing the forest
was also carried on vigorously, 186
acres being cut and burned for ek-
perimental farm purposes. These
farms were operated at Hearst, at
Cochrane, at Ground Hog, and at
Nagagaml, the latter 170 miles west
of Cochrane on the G.T.P.
"The results," reports Mr. Whit-
son, "were entirely satisfactory."
Clover, alsike,' and timothy grew in
• great abundance on all the different
farms. Fall 'wheat average 27 to 35
bushels, and was not injured by early
frosts. All kinds of vegetables ma-
tured with the exception of tomatoes.
On the farms west of Cochrane where
the land was comparatively new and
had not been worked more than two
seasons, summer frosts did consider-
able damage, but not more so than in

finer crops were seen in Ontario than

trict. The excellent growth of crops
last season has encouraged the set-
tlers very much, and there is every
indication that a much larger area
will be under cultivation next season.
