An Illustration as IIow,7.t Works Out in India. Any system of caste 'works mis- chief wherever; it may be practised• It makes the upper class arrogant and the Power class aervilo. It is in India that its evil effects aro most frequently and plainly witnessed. In her account of "Our Tour in Southern India, Mrs. J. G. Mur ray-Ayn'sley tells a story which il- lustratesthe annoyances that at- tend the observance of the caste rules. It is related of a missionary who was some years ago attached to the Cottayam Mission that he was walk- ing one day, accompanied by •a`na- tive of the slave caste, when he saw a Brahmin' making frantic signs and calling out to them. 'Telling his companion to remain where he was, the clergyman: walk- ed on, and asked the Brahmin what was 'the matter. . He, received for reply the statement that the Brah- min wasactingthus to warn the low -caste man to keep away from him the requisite distance of ninety- six paces. "Oh, so many paeesl"said the missionary. "Show me exactly, if'. you -please; how far that is." Unsuspectingly, the Brahmin „walked off the road to indicate the proper distance, on which .the mis- sionary e to sfonary beckoned to the1a a come up to him, thus making the Brahmin leave the path open for this humbler -born brother. When in Trichoor, I' myself more than once saw a man of the people, when he was addressing his super- ior, hold one or both hands before his face. I was told that this is a token of respect.. It is done that. the breath of the low -caste man may not offend the nobility of the other,.

Like a chapter from the Arabian Nights is the story of the silver fox. industry in Prince Edward -Island, with the: difference that the latter is tangible, open to inspection, end capable of verification, says the Charlottetown Guardian, That the smallest province in the Dominion, heretofore regarded as without natural`' resources • except. the fertility of its soil and the proli- fic life in its waters, should sudden- ly find itself in possession of a sin'- gle source of wealth rivaling the gold mines of the Yukon, is a mat -s ter of no email moment. And this is what Prince Edward island has found within the past few years in its fox industry. As is the case of the gold mines, the available wealth from the fox industry is, as yet, an unknown quantity. Unlike it, ,however, those who have "digged" in, the latter, with ordinary forethought and pre- caution have, we believe, without exception, Found Gold Held New, Rich Blood to Restore Them to a Healthy Condition. ' Actually in need of food to nour- ish thebody and yet afraid to eat because of the racking pains that follow. That is the condition of the 'Sufferer from indigestion—a choice between starvation or merciless torture.. The urgent need o, all dyspep- tics, of everybody whose organs of digestion 'have become unfit to per- form their important duty, is for stronger stomachs that can extract nourishment from food. Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills give weak sto- machs just the strength they need by enriching the blood supply, thus giving tone and strength to the stomach and its nerves, and enab- ling it to do the work nature in- tended it to do. Thousands of oases: of indigestion have been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, of which the following is but one instance. Miss L. A. Brown, Port Albert, Ont., says: "For a number of years `I was a terrible sufferer 'from indigestion, and as a result I became completely run down, and suffered from backaches and nerv- ous troubles as well. I had to force myself to eat, but never enjoyed a meal owing 'to the awful pains that followed eating. Life was becom- ing a burden, and as medicine after medicine failed to help me I felt I was doomed to, go through life a constant sufferer. Finally a. mar- ried sister strongly urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I have •mason to be thankful that I followed her advice, as they have fully' restored my health, and 1. can now enjoy all kinds of foodwith- out the least discomfort, and my friends say I am looking better than I have done for years. At all events I know I feel like a new per- son, so shall always praisd Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills." Sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. many of them most liberally. There is an idea prevalent that the money exchanging hands for foxes here is all Prince Edwa;d Is- land money, passed from one neigh- bor to another in exchange for fox- es, aid that, after all, the industry. brings no additional wealth to the province. This is not so. Within the past few days •a gentleman from Port Elgin, N.B., bought five pairs of foxes from; Tignish and Alberbon parties, paying for them $50,000; a gentleman from Moneton bought four pairs, also from parties in Tig- nish and Albertan, at the same price, $10,000 a pair; a gentleman from St. John bought two pair in the same locality at the same price, and wanted two more pairs, but could not get them. Hon. John Ag- new, of Alberton, informs us that he has had almost daily telegrams from parties in the neighboring pro- vinces making all kinds of offers for foxes, but that there are none for sale. The island stock for the pre- sent year and much of next year's stock is already sold. It is Cri�i�al to Neglectthc Skin and .11air THINK of the suffering entailed bynegiected skin, troubles — mental', because of disfiguration, physical be-. cause of pain. Think of the pleasure of a clear skin, soft, white hands, and good hair. These blessings, so essential to happiness and even suc- cess in life are often only a matter of a little thoughtful care in the selection of effec- tive remedial agents. Cuti-. cura Soap and Cuticura Oint wentdo so much for poor complexions, r e d, rough hands, and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost so little, that it is almost erimi nal not to use them. Although ,Cuticura Soap. and Oint- ment arc'sold by druggists and dealers everywhere, a postal to "Cuticura," Dept. 5M, Boston, U.S.A., will secure a liberal sample of each, with 32 -page booklet on Skin and Scalp Treatment. A Financial Factor. One of the banks in Prince Coun- ty took in $80,000 in three days re- cently, all fox money, ' and the greater part of it from outside the province. Another took in $00,000 in a week, most of it, from New Brunswick. One 'country , branch bank in Prince County among the fox ranches has more cash on depos- it than the localhead office, and all this fromthe fox business. We have it on good authority that in Prince County alone half a million dollars changed hands during the past sum- mer for foxes, and that at least two- thirds of it came from' outside the province. We understand that this year the addition to the provincial income tax, as a result of the fox business, will be about $10,000. A business that in so short a time has risen to such proportions is surely worth talking about, worth promoting, and worth letting the world know about. Now, as tothe value placed upon silver foxes. Five thousand dollars for a little black fox seems an ex- orbitant price, extravagant, risky, and all that. But in foxes, as in other investments, the cost is exor- bitant or the reverse in proportion to the returns. We have an authen- tic record of a single female black fox which in seven years produced 45 descendants, which lived and were sold. These at the prices rul- ing to -day would be worth $225,000, a pretty liberal return in seven years for an investment of $10,000 for a pair. CHINESE LAUNDRIES. Manchester Sees Theist Increasing Rapidly. NOT NUCII LARGE TIMBER.• Butllllueh Pulpwood Found in Lac Labieho Region. The Forestry Branch of the De- partment of the Interior has had a number of parties out during the past season continuing the exami- nation of the unexplored districts to find out the supply of timber on Dominion Lands' and determine the lands which should be reserved per- manently for timber purposes. 'Pldese ( parties aro generally in charge of graduates of the Forest School of the University of Toron- to. The work for the season is al- most completed and the parties are now returning from the field. Two of the parties have already re- ported. Mr. S. 11. Clark examined during the past season the district lying north of Lao Labiche and east of the Athabaska River in Northern Alberta, 'which is along the route which was proposed for the Alberta Great Waterways Railway; The seslson was wet, and, as the district was found to be covered largely by muskeg, the examination of it was difficult. The muskegs were almost impassable, and the few trails that were found are in poor condition. In spite ofthe condition of the trails quite e. targe number of peo- ple were going in to Fort McMur- , ray to locate. It had been reported that there was considerable large timber north of Lae Labiche, but the „examina- tion brought out efact, the which has to frequently beenathe case, that the quantity of large timber is small and only in a few scattered areas. There is, however, a large quan- tity of immature epr'uce'and.lack pine, which needs only protection from fire to be a valuable crop for pulpwood or lumber. The land is generally' covered with muskeg, and the soil, nowhere first-class, be- comes lighter and sandy towards. the east, where it cohsists of sandy jack pine ridges with muskeg be- tween. The undrained muskegs make the timber growth slow, but the whole district is more suited for timber than for agriculture. Manchester, England, is about to take (measures to bring about bet- ter'hygienic renditions amongst the Chinese laundries, so many of which have lately been established in the city. The Manchester correspon- dent of the Lancet says: "It ap- pears that the number of small Chi- nese laundries conducted by China- men has inereased at an astonish- ing rate, and at present about 40 areestablished within the city area. On the advice of the medical officer of health, the sanitary Committee has now decided to issue special no- tices in Chinese characters warning against spitting on the premises, and pointing out that penalties will be imposed for any offence in that direction. There is a prevalent belief—but whether based on fact or not, it is difficult to say that spitting is very prevalent in some Chinese establishments, and that this act is not confined to spitting Gal the floor. Spitting is said to be a part of the process in some laun- dering businesses, as in the ironing process it is stated that the opera- tor expectorates freely en the arti- cleswith, cies which are being dealt and that as an aid to the sustained se- cretion of saliva chewing gum is largely practised by the laundry men. CANCER PREVENTION. Some Simple and Valuable Rules to Maintain Inuniulity. ' The following hints for the pre- vention of cancer are given by Dr. J. Fletcher Little, Medical Officer of Health for Harrow -en -the -Hill, England•. When warts, moles (especially dark colored), and other skin growths are exposed to constant irritation they should be immedi- ately removed. Avoid excessive smoking, as ; it predisposes to cancer of the lips, tongue, cheeks, etc. Inhaling Cig- arette smoke tends to cause cancer of the vocal cords. Avoid irritation of the tongue and, cheek by broken, jagged teeth. Tale great care of the back teeth or g'rindeee. Money spent on the teeth will hiring a greater return than saw other investment. Avoid excessively hot food a.ncl drink, which induce cancer of the throat. Avoid laking large quantities of. iced drinks and ices.. Mn;stieate ,;l1 food thoroughly, as food - imperfectly chewed causes. chronic irritation of the alimentary canal Avoid alcoholic drinks, as they are a. predisposing cause' of cancer, and diminish the average prospects of survival by 30 percent.

Charles Dalton made the statement,, and submitted his books to prove it, that in 1910 he shipped to the London fur market between 40. and 50 skins. For these he received an average of :6270 each, or $1,350. Moreover, of all the skins that brought over £100 Mr, Dalton had 00 per cent. This fact along with the other equally significant fact, that of all the black foxes in eaptivity in the world, 85 .per cent- are in Prince Edward Is- land, goes to show that Prince Ed- ward island' may safely be regarded as the natural headquarters in the world to -day., The possession of such an indus- try is of incalculable benefit to the province, and, if guarded,' and it deserves to be, will, before 'long make the province one of the rich- est in the world. This is not an advertisement for the•fox business, nor an. etiempt to induce inexperienced, unbusiness- like investment in it. It is as easy to lobe one's all in the fox business as in any other, if entered into without necessary business .precau- tion s. "PROUD AND GLAD" Because Mother Looked So Well After Quitting Tea and Coffee. A woman was almost distracted with dyspepsia and heart trouble., Like thousands of others, the drug—caffeine—in coffee was slowly but steadily undermining her nerv- ous ` system and interfering with natural digestion of food. , (Tea is just as injurious as coffee because it contains caffeine, the poisonous drug found in coffee.) "For 30 years," she writes, "I have, used. coffee. Have always been sickly -had heart trouble and dyspepsia with ulcers in stomach and mouth 'so bad, sometimes, I was almost distracted and could hardly eat a thing fora ;:week. "I could not sleep :for .-nervous- ness, and when'I would lie down at night I'd belch up coffee and my heart would trouble me. It was like poison to me.

I could sleep as soundly as anyone and, after the first month, whenever T met any friends they would ask me what was making me so fleshy and looking so well.
