Talk isn't always cheap; it often costs a man a black eye. A bigamist is a man who has more wives than brains. A bent pin on a chair makes an excellent starting point. It's easy to earn a living, but getting it is another proposition. No, Alonzo, you can't make both ends meet by stretching the imagi- nation. Our idea of an optimist is a man who saves a little sunshine for a rainy day. An occasional failure encourages the hustler to make a more strenu- ous effort. Experience is a great teacher, but graduates are handed their diplomas by the undertaker. Love may not make the world go round, but it has that effect on the vh'eels in the lover's head. A piece of colored glass looks eautiful in a church window, but it oes not show up well in a ring. A man never knows how fleet- oted. lie really is until he has oo asion to 'make a getaway from a ap-year girl, And many a man's self-control is e to roe fact that his wife is big. ough and strong enough to it on occasionally, There are no dead flies lying about when are used as directed. All Druggists, Gro- cers and General Deal- ers sell them. YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE A CHANCE. If you go across the ocean, your ship is liable to sink. True enough, but if you travel on land your train is -liable to be wrecked. If you just jimmy around the home town, your automobile is liable to blow up or throw a tire and preci- pitate you "quickly into a ravine on your elbows and shoulder blades. If you go buggy riding your horse is apt to shy at a piece of paper in the road and kick you into the mid- dle of the following week. If you go out walking an auto- mobile is liable to scramble you up or a footpad is liable to tap you suddenly yet firmly upon the dome of thought. But if you sit still at home a hun- dred things are liable to happen you. You may have a fit, some weary wayfarer may come along and sell you a lot of Turkish rugs, lightning may strike the house, and then there is always the possibility of an earthquake. At the very best you have got to take a chance whether you want to or not. Dr. Wilfred Grenfell, C.11L.G., Whose institute for fishermen has just been opened in St. John's, Newfoundland.

When HoIloway's Corn Cure is applied to a corn or wart it kills the roots and the callosity comes out without injury to the flesh, FROM A WIFE'S DIARY. "I am completely disheartened, "To -night I entered the parlor suddenly and found my husband ly- ing on one of my lovely new sofa cushions.

Lloyds Will Insure a Girl igtalllst' Elopement. They will take any risk at Lloyd It should be understood that this great corporation has nothing to do`, with it, but that the brokers issue, the policies as individuals.

It gave her seven hun- dred pounds, so the broker made more than -.a hundred pounds pro- fit, A cablegram arrived at the office of a ship owner stating that one of his steamers was on the rocks in a dangerous place. The owner took out a policy for £5,500, to be paid to him if the ship was lost. He paid for this a premium of £5,000. The ship was saved so he lost the money. IIOW MANY OF US Fail to Select Food Nature De- mands to Ward Off Ailments? A Ky. lady, speaking about food, says : "I was accustomed to eating all kinds of ordinary food until, for some reason, indigestion and nerv- ous prostration set in. "After I had run down seriously my attention was called to the ne- cessity of some change in my diet, and I discontinued my ordinary breakfast and began using Grape - Nuts with a good quantity of rich cream. "In a few days more my condition changed in a remarkable way, and I began to have a ,strength that I had never been possessed of before, a vigor of body and a poise of mind that amazed me. It was entirely new in my experience, "Mee former attacks of indiges- tion hadbeen accompanied by heat - flashes, andmany t' condi- dyS• "1zin the head and ntears : - ...... in the chest. "Since using Grape -Nuts alone for breakfast I have been free from these troubles, except at times when I have indulged in rich, greasy foods in quantity, then I would be warned by 'a pain under the left shoulder blade, and unless I heeded the warning the old trouble would come back, but when I finally got to know where these troubles ori- ginated I returned to my Grape - Nuts and cream and the pain and disturbance left very quickly. "I am now in prime health as a result of my use of Grape -Nuts." Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont.

A large trade in goldfish is now being carried on in Sicily, the col- oring being obtained by keeping silver fish in water containing cer- tain chemicals in the form of peat, chalk and iron. jAfter a couple of weeks in this "mixture," the fish are transferred to another bath composed of iron and tan, which has the effect of coloring them red, or black and red, or black, red and silver—according to the length of time, they are left in the 'solution. These fish fetch a better price than the ordinary silver fish, found in large quantities in that region, but it is remarked that so far they die young. FARMS FOR SALE. H. W.
