Suffered with Palpita- tion of the Heart and Nervous Trouble .Mrs. John Dennison, Combermere, Ont., writes: -"I cannot praise Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills too much. For years I suffered with palpitation of the heart and nervous trouble, so that . I could not lie down to sleep. I tried al- most all other medicines, and got no relief, until I was advised by a friend, who had been benefited by your pills, to try them, I did so, and after taking four boxes I found I was almost cured, and I am going to continue taking them, for I never got anything to do me so much ;good. I would advise any one troubled 'with their heart or nerves to do the same as I am doing." Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills are .50 cents a box, or 3 boxes for $1.25; at all dealers or mailed direct on receipt .of price by The T. Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto. Ont. The Crash of Opinions. "You may be compelled to meet criti- ^cism." "I know it," replied Senator Sor• :ghum; "and I am a little afraid that I am going to have to meet it in away that will convey the impression of a 'head-on collision." -Washington Star. The Favored One. "There's a gentleman inthe parlor, sir," said the maid. "Did' be give you his name, Katie?" asked the man of the house. "Oh, no, sir, but I think it's the one who wants to give bis name to your daughter, sir." -Yonkers Statesman. STAND UP STRAIGHT. Keep the Chest Wide Open and Avoid the Great White Plague. The best way to avoid consumption is to stand up straight, according to the Bulletin of the American Medical association. The writer says: "The first essential in the avoidance of tuberculosis of the lungs, or con- sumption. is to keep the lungs strong, so that if the germs are breathed they can do no harm. One of the most im- portant things in keeping the lungs strong is to keep the chest wide opeu so that the luugs can be properly used. If the body is drooped or stoops or if the shoulders are allowed to 'drag for- ward (round shoulders) or if the bead Is carried forward instead of well back over the shoulders the chest must be flattened; the breathing must be shal- low, and the lungs, not being freely used, become weak. it "It 9s in this type of chest that tu- berculosis usually begins. The con- sumptive is usually narrow chested, with drooped shoulders and with the head craned forward. "While the development of a strong, t . well formed chest 1s one of the most important factors in preventing tuber- culosis, the same thing is tobe desired If the disease bas once started. Not only should we live in the open, but we sbould standup straight and learn. to 'throw a big chest,' so that .the lungs can grow strong and the fresh air be taken in. "The runner, the singer or any one ,• who is obliged to make sustained ef- fort is taught to stand and sit with the chest high, so that the lungs can be used to the best advantage, and if every one would do, the same thing there would be less tuberculosis be- cause there would be fewer weak $ lungs" CLUBBING RATES Clinton Branch of West Huron Women's Institute.

Advertising, backed up by the right spirit the right goods and the right service, can rescue a sinking business and will make/a prosperous business more masterful in its own community, ' When John Wanamaker, the prince of merchants, began business, he resolved to force matters, - . He was not content to WAIT to be found out -he determined to be found out. In, short, he advertised. He threw on his business. small as it was, the light of publicity, and the public of Philadelphia entered the shop on which the light Ill this community the public is entering those shops on which the light of adver- tising is falling.

Expounding a theory that man has two minds, or a double eonseiousness objective and subjective -Mgr. Bensoa has compared the two activities to an upper and a lower room separated by a trapdoor. Dreams are due to the subjective consciousness working with- out check from the objective conscious - nes,, The man who usually claims to have an evenly balanced mind is theone who has shut the trapdoor and re.' mains in the upper room, and those who have closed the trapdoor and remain in the lower rooms are commonly found in lunatic asylums. The man of really even balance either remains between the two rooms or. keeps the trapdoor well oiled. Napoleon, in the lower room, con- ceived ideas for ruling Europe and in the upper room put his ideas into prat. lice; Raphael created combinations of colors and then expressed them on can- vas, anvas, and Beethoven in the lower room composed his sonatas and in the upper room reproduced the notes on paper. The events of childhood, are remark" - ably clear in the recollection of very old people, though present happenings are forgotten. This may be ,explained by the decay of the objective conscious- ness,' and it is curious that as ti's de- cays the subjective consciousness be. comes more acute. -New York Press. 1 1 IIt'd' the songs you sing and the smiles yoR Wear that makes the sunshine ev,. erywhere,-Selected. _,. • ,Regy.tiit -i SHORT CIRCUITS,. Mission of the Fuse When the Wires Become Crossed. "Another short circuit!" One of the commonest reports heard in all electrical works. A "short circuit" means that the elec- tric lecttric wires have become crossed or connected so as to form a bypath or shunt of comparatively low resistance, through which so much of the elec- trical current passes as practically to cat out that part of the circuit through which the current originally flowed. In other words, a "short circuit" has ree, placed the normal circuit, which may be considered a long circuit. The cut- ting out of the resistance of the long line permits the power to rush over this path of low resistance, and if the apparatus were not protected by the fuse or circuit breaker the electrical machinery, would do itself serious harm.

Snow has departed, epring work bas began, The land never hardens, nor bakea in the sun. Our horses nor oxen don't winter on straw, Gomes out fat and fine in Manitoba,' When the seeding is over the grass is all green, Wild flowers in their beauty are every where seen; Mosquitoes are plenty and the wea- ther is braw. And farmers are breaking in Manitoba When the having comes on we're busy all day, • Mowing and staking the sweet prairie On'e all piece of ground you get all you can draw. No thistles, no daises in Manitoba. When the harvest comes on we're all hard at work. Never mind our old -hat nor the sweat of our shirt, Just look at the stacks, tee wheat and the straw. ' You would wish you were farming in Manitoba. When the harvestis over the thresh ing begins. Its many a granary with over flowing bins. And finer fall weather than ever you saw, Is the month of October in Manitoba. The thresher brings with him a gang of men, And while they are threshing the plowing goes on. We just light a match and burn up the straw. For no man wouldluse it in Manitoba. When the winter:come on dont let that frightened you. For theres many a fine day and stormy one too. With lots of bard wheat to market • and throw. There is now time for freezing in Mani toba, Ccme all my old comrades to man hood has grown And if your intending to start out alone.
