The Trouble's Often Really St.

Neglect It
• Many a child has been called awk-
evard, hal been punished in school
for not keeping still or for dropping
things, when the trouble was really
St, Vitue 1)5005. This 'disease may
appear at any age, but is most earn -
mon between the ages of six and
fourteen years. It is caused by
thin blood which faAls to carry suffi-
cient nourishment to the nerves,
and the child becomes restless and
twitching of the mausolea and jerk-
ing of the linbs and body follow.
In severe cases the child is unable
to hold anything or feed iteelf. St.
Vitus Dance is earedby building up
the bleed. The most suecessful
'treatment is to remove the • child
from all ,mental excitement, stop
wheel work and glve Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. %hese Pills renew the

nerves, and restore_ the child to

RAN -EATING SHARK NO MY'TH
Ifundreds of Human Beings Killed
By Him A.nnually. ,
A great many persons are of the
belief that sharks, no matter what
their ,size or species may he, do not
kill or even attack human beings;
:some authorities declare the man-
eater will onlyattack the Asuman
farm when it is motionless; others
that it will not touch a human in
the nude, only tho,se, that are dress-
ed, 'writes Charles Bradford, in
Outdoor. Life. ••
A friend of mine residing art Pen-
• sacola, Fla., resents all these de-
• olarweione, and affirms that the
shark of twelve feet or more "will at-
tack man or woman under all con-
• ditious—the body being etill or in
motion, nude or fully dressed. He
writes me: "Hundreds of lausnan
• beings are killed and eaten •a,nnuel-
ly by •sharks, 1 personally 'witness-
ed the killing of one man by a
shark, and aided in killing the
shark. The body of the man—that
of Thoin,as Agile, pilot of 'the .schoon-
er Wallace A. Mel/anal& eailipg in
Plerida waters—was cut oompletely
in two and sank in fifty feet of sea-
ter.
"After biting -its victim 'the shark
was about to devour the parts of
the body -when well -'directed har-
poon ended its career. The ,sbark
may no L moleet human beings 'swim-
tning in 'shallow water or attack
serf bathers, but it is certein that
the species will attack Imam in deep
water . "

Word comes from England that
Sir Ernest Shackleton is about to
make a preliminary trial expedition
under Arctic oceeditions in the gla-
ciers of Norway. This will be for
the speeia•1 purpose of testieg, the

Army Mediae), 'Corps' evolved the
"perfeet ration." Itwill average
only'. 35 ounces dbiiy, as compared
with the three poundsetr more con-
sumed by the average man, but it
is believed it represents the highest
nutritive' value for polar travel.
Sir Ernest will he accompanied by

goes to Norway to conduct experi-

his last ship, Nimrod, She is a
beautiful specimen of ensgoden ship
building, and probably the last of
her class that will be ccmstruoted.
Her whole keel is made of aolid oak
53f feet thick, and her sides are two
feet thick. She belongs to the
ba,rkentine class, has the latest
triple expamsion engines and will
steam ten knots an hour. She is
fitted to consume both oil and coal.

BEE -STINGS FOIL DITIJNITARDS
Discovery Matte, by Aceident in a
I,ondon Hospital.
Acoording,te the recent teetimony
of various English •dectore and their
patients, some really wonderful
cures ef rheumatism emd eciatica
have been effected by the eting of
the bee. In one ease a, person crip-
pled by rheumatism for fifteen years
was completely cured after be be -
gen to kee.p bees and was oontin-
ually stung by them; while in an-
other case a lady who had been
crippled for four years by an at-
ta,ck of rheumatic fever had bee
-
stings applied to the various affect-
ed parts, and 'within, a fortnight, the
stiffness end pain left her feet, an-
kles, elbows, and finger-joants.
The explaesation lies in the fact
that the bee, wheal it stings, injects
a hese quantity of formic acid into
the body. This acid, as hes been
show, by experience with bendr,ed'e
of eaSee, is the best antidote for the
poisons in the lsystem whieh stiffen
the muscles and joints with rheu-
• narutism.
It is affirmed, too, by phyeleiarne
that inebriety as well as rheuma-
tism may be cured by bee -sting,
litre, discovery was made quite by
atieitlent in & London hospital. Five
men were being 'treated, for eltronie
rheumatism' Four of; theni had
been hard drinkers foe years, and
one was a confirmed druaikarcl.
Be,e-strings -were applied to them,
and the rheumatic cooditio,n
pronestly subsided When they
were finally discharged .they found
that the rtneahnent had. done. More

troyed their taste for.alicohol. Even
the ,sight of driziat nauseated' thern;
and sates leaving the hospital sev-

has touched liquor.
An intoxicated person is quickly
sobered by a beeating, a•nd drink-

bees, where they are frequently

"How thankful we are to get hold
of such a wonderful household rem-
edy as Nerviline," writes 1VIrs. 21. P.
Lamontagne from her home near We-
taskiwin, Alberta. "In this far -away
section, far away from a doctor or
druggist, every family needs a good
supply of liniment. Nerviline is the
best of all. It destroys every pain,
hut never hums. We use Nerviline
in a score of ways. If It's rheuma-
dam, aching back, pain in the side.
sciatica or stiff neck,—you can laugh
at thern if you have lots of Nerviline
handy. For earache, toothache or
cramps I don't think anything could
act more quickly. For a general all-
round pain remedy I can think of no-
thing more valuable and speedy te
euro than Nerviline."
The above letter is convineing—it
tells how reliable and trusty this old-
time remedy le. Nerviline for forty
years has been a household word in
Canada. Scarcely a home iu Canada
you can end without Nerviline. Every
esinmunity has its living examples of
the wonderful curative properties of
Nerviline which will cure pains and
aches anywhere in the Joints or mus-
cles. It's penetrating, soothing,
warming and safe for young and old
to use. Get the large 50c. family size
bottle; it's the most economical.
Small trial size 25c. at any dealer's

Something should be done to dis-
courage the belief that eorafertable
clothes are never etylieh,
