'When thin Story begins he was sunning himself on a bit of beach that bordered a little pond ill the woods, His mother was neat' by, for Chub was only aiittle fel- low, no bigger than a fifty -cont piece, and oho had 'kept a close nye on him from the time he first came out of the sand a few months before, Chub long- ed to set out and see the world for himself, but his mother always, said:1 "Don't be in a hurry, Chub, to seek edventere. If you will only wait long enough, perhaps the adventure will come to yeti," And sure enough, while Chub and his mother were sunning themselves on the sand the adventure carne—in the form of a small but very active boy who was walking in the woods with his mother. They had a lunch- eon basket and a bunch of wild flow- ers that they had been Picking, When Chub's mother saw then, she called out, "Come, cc.me, Chub Turtle! The water is the best place for us!" Straightway she splashed into the, pond As fast as she could go, but Chub lingered on the sand. All would have been well if he had obeyed his mother; but he disobeyed her, and so he had only hlmsel' to blame for what followed, When Mother Turtle splashed into the water, the boy—whose name was Sonny -left his mother and came run- ning to the shore. His eyes fell on Chub, and quick as a flash he pounced faware of the Cold Storage Egg I11 his worlc on food and dietetics Doctor Robert Hutchison says, "the absence of car- bohydrates prevents eggs from being in any sense a complete food." This refers to the fresh egg—the egg with a clean bill of health. What would Doctor Hut- chison say of the modern cold storage egg? At pre- sent prices two eggs cost ten cents—and the egg is not a complete food! Some- thing must be eaten with it to supply the needed carbo- hydrates. Two Shredded Wheat Biscuits, with cream or milk, make a complete, per- fect heal at a cost of four or five cents, Made in Canada, BATTLE OVER TOMB, Dugouts Made In Ancient Mound Where Ancient •Warriors Lie. • In the foreground of the British troops' view stands the Butte de War- leneou•t, the mysterious tumulus con- cerning whose origin nobody upon the countryside can tell One anything— the burial place Of captains and of kings in wars outlived and forgotten.

This article le for the man or yeo- man who suffers from rheumatism who wants to bo cured, not merely relieved—but actually cured. The most the rheumatic sufferer can hope for in rubbing something on the ten- der, aching joint, is a little relief, No lotion or liniment ever did or can make a cure. The rheumatic poison is rooted in the blood. Therefore rheumatism can only be cured when this poisonous acid is driven out of the blood, Any doctor will tell you this is true. If you want something that will go right to the root of the blood take D. Williams Pink Pills. They make new, rich blood which drives out the poisonous acid and cures rheumatism to stay cured. The truth of these statements has been proved in thousands of cases through- out Canada, and the following cure is a striking instance. Mrs. F. M. Simp- son, R.R. No. 1, Blenheim, Ont., says:. "For a long time I was confined to my bed, and actually crippled with rheu- matism, The trouble first located in my ankle—which was much swollen. I thought it might be a sprain, but the doctor said it was rheumatism and advised me to go to bed so that the trouble would not be aggravated. °Y feet of red and orange and blank— I did as directed, but instead -of get - looked everywhere except in the right the refugees from Lovitch in their ting better it spread first to my right place, and they might never have curious colored costumes.

India's Animal 'loll of Iltltnan Iaafe to Jungle Denizens. More than 28,000 people were killed'. by snakes and wild animals in British India last year, The Government re- ports show that 1,928 persons were slain by tigers and other beasts, and 26,585 perished through being bitten. by reptiles, an increase over the pre- vious year of 8,700 deaths met in this manner. No figures are available for the native states with their population of some 90,000,000. During the past five years ele- phants, tigers, and other animals have killed 9,192 people in British India, and, of these, tigers have claimed a toll of 3,682. In the same period 116,828 persons have died as the result of snake bites. Last year the highest total of deaths due to animals in any one province was in Bihar and Orissa, where 684 people lost their lives, tigers alone accounting for 876. In the United Provinces one man-eating tiger in the Atmore district killed ten persons out of the provincial total of twenty, In order to effect the destruction of as many wilel animals and snakes as possible the Government pays bounties. The number of animals de- stroyed in 1016 was 25,036, including 1,582 tigers, 6,628 leopards, 2,775 bears and 2,191 wolves. The total number of snakes killed was 184,663.
