The food that nourishes us is es- sential to life, but it is no more essential than the form of rest we all sleep. Sleep is a mysterious tiling ; very little is really known about the physical processes that cause it, It comes and goes like a aisi ig and falling tide; we abandon ourselves with glad relief to it at the end of the day ; it renews our vigor both of mind and of body, are .f it fails us for any cause, we spec .lily fail also in health and strength. 'The question is often asked, "Hew much sleep do I need?" The answer is net simple, for people differ greatly in this respect. In- fants should sleep nearly all the time children need more sleep than adults, and the young need more than the old. There are, however, eonie aged persenb in whom a form of cerebral anemia causes an al- most constant drowsiness that doubtless helps to prolong life. In general, seven hours for men and eight or more for women is a safe allowance. More important than the exact time you spend in bed is the regu- larity and soundness of the sleep you get. Many people are aston- ishingly indifferent to these mat- ters. Young people who wish to en- joy social dissipations until late at night often refer to the ease of some famous man who lived for years on four hours' sleep and accomplished marvels, but 'such young people themselves rarely achieve anything except irritability, bad complexion and laziness. It is a wise plan to go to bed at a regular and seasonable hour every night., The bedroom should be dark, quiet, and flooded with fresh, outdoor air. The bedclothing should be light in weight, but sufficient to keep the sleeper warm. Never draw the blankets over your head; if necessary, protect it from the winter cold by a. sleeping -hood. "Kill That Cold!" Colds have us again in their grip But whereas years ago this common complaint was looked upon lightly, to -day it is treated 'very seriously. For it is regognized°that. a'sim- ple cold is liable to lead.. to such • diseases as chronic catarrh, influ- enza, bronchitis, pneumonia, and even deafness. The first symptom of a cold is a feeling of chill. This surface chill acts in such a way, as to drive the blood inwards, and so contracts and empties the superficial blood -ves- sels. Congestion of the internal or- gans follow; dryness of the mem- branes of the nose and mouth, and a rise in temperature. Soaking the feet in mustard and hot water is the simplest cure for a cold in the head, followed by a hot drink. But, if general, a complete mustard bath should be taken for ten minutes, taking care to raise, and not lower, the temperature of the water. Then dry with hot tow- els before a fire, and take a glass of hot lemonade in bed. Diet should consist of hot fluids for twenty-four hours. Hints on Feeding. It does seem that when a farmer makes up his_ mind to shovel two or three thousand bushels of corn into a lot of steers he would take the precaution to select the kind of animals that will make the best use of it. One reason why so many farmers who feed cattle come out the little end of the horn is because all steers lookalike to them and they think they are saving money by buying animals whose first cost is low. , If we cannot afford a silo we can certainly afford a field of horned ttdi'nips or mangels, They are not equal to silo, of course, but they help make dry feed palatable and, therefore, increase its value. Does silage fed to the dairy cow taint the milk ? No ; but the odor of the silage if allowed to get into the milk in open pails will taint it. A Sure Sign.

If your daughter is languid, has a pale, sallow , complexion, is, short of breath, especially on going upstairs ; if she has palpitation of the heart, a poor appetite, or a tendency to faint, she has anaemia —which means poverty of the blood. Any delay in treatment may leave her weak and sickly for the rest of her life—delay may even result in consumption, that most hopeless of diseases. When the blood is poor and watery, there is only one cer- tain cure—that is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, coupled with nourish- ing food and gentle but -of -door ex- ercise: Dr: Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood, which flowing through the veins stineu- late the nerves, increase the appe- tite, give brightness to the eye, a' glow of health to the cheek, and makes weak, despondent girls full of healthy activity. The ease of Miss J. H. Lass.1le, Sorel, Que., is typical ,of the cures made by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She says : "I was weak and all. run down. My face was pale and covered with pimples. My lips were pale. I suf- fered from pains in all my limbs, which would at times be swollen. I was hardly ever free from head- aches, and I found work • about the house aburden, as the least effort left me fatigued and breathless. I had no appetite, and notwithstand- ing that T was constantly doctoring I. seemed to be growing worse all the time. One day mother said that she thought I ought to try Dr., Wil- liams' Pink Pills, and I decided to do so. I soon discovered that I had found the right medicine, and after using nine boxes I was once more enjoying the best of health, and I have not been unwell a day since." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. CAN WE LIVE WITHOUT SALTS The Longer Without It„the Less You Long For It. Wet:: people are in the 'habit of looking up the articles ef.our. ac- customed diet, and especially upon salt, as necessities. We have not found them so, writes Mr. Stefans- son, the Arctic explorer. The long- er you go without grain foods and vegetables the less you long for them. Salt I have found to behave like a narcotic poison in other words, it cis hard to break off its use, as it is hard to stop the use of tobacco, but after you have been a month or so without salt you cease to long for it, and after six months I have found the taste of meat boil- ed in salt water distinctly disagree- able. In the ease of such a neces- sary element of food as fat, on the other hand, I have found that the longer you are without it the more you long for it, until the craving becomes more intense than is the hunger of a man who fasts. (The symptoms of 'starvation are those of a disease rather than of being hun- gry.) Among the uncivilized Eski- dies the dislike of salt is so strong that a saltiness imperceptible to me would prevent them from eating at all. This circumstance was often useful to me, for whenever our Es- kimo visitors threatened to eat us out of house and home we could put in a little pinch of salt, and thus husband our resources without seeming inhospitable. A man who tasted anything salty at our table would quickly bethink him that he had plenty of more palatable fare in his own house. q* It's awfully hard toconvince a man that he is getting a square deal.

Traveller Says It Is Difficult to Learn Their Right Name. In Persia a river is generally called by the name of the town on its banks, and therefore changes its name at each town it reaches, This, writes Colonel Stewart in "Through Persia in Disguise," makes it very difficult to learn the right name of the rivers. My groom was an Armenian, and very much more intelligent' than or- dinary Persians, since he had been educated at a mission school at Ispahan. One day he was swim- ming about in some water we pass- ed, and I said to him, "No doubt you learned to swim in the Zayen- deh Rud" the river that flows by Ispahan. "No, sir," he replied, "I did not learn to swim in the Zayen- deh Rud, but in the Ispahan Riv- er." He actually did not know that the large river passing his na- tive town was called the Zayendeh Rud, or, in other words, that the Ispahan River and the Zayeudeh Rud were one and the same. Another instance of this confusion is shown by what people call the Abrishmi River. The name of the river is the Kal Mum, but the ma- jority of Persians and also Euro- peans cross it on the main post - road between Meshed and Teheran by a bridge that was built by a silk merchant, and that is called "Pul- Abrishmi," or the silken bridge; so they call the river the "Abrishmi" or the Silken River, which is cer- tainly not its name. The river, which flows by Khusf, although at this point very slightly brackish, lower down becomes very salt in- deed, and finally is lost in the des- ert. Karen, or underground canals, carry the water of this river in every direction over the country, I TORONTO CORRESPONDENCE INTERESTING BITS - OF GOSSIP FROM THE QUEEN CITY. Is the Water Supply - in Doubt?—Hydro Electric System on the Defensive— Miss Booth at Massey Hall. The city has been agitated by the re- markable question of whether water will run down hill. The queetlon arises out of the plans for a new water works sys- tem to cost over six million dollars, the money for which was voted by the rate- payers on New Years Day. At present Toronto's water supply comes through a pipe extending into the lake from the island and lying more or lees unprotect- ed on the lake bottom, and therefore liable to injury or total destruction under ex- treme weather and ice conditions. :From the island the water is pumped to the city by means of a tunnel under the bay. Under this system there is a dan- ger of destruction to, the intake pipes and also more or less remote danger of pollution getting into the tunnel under the sewage -filled bay, It is proposed under the flew system to establish the new pumping plant at the -icarboro Cliffs, some ten miles east of the city. Here the lake has a rock bot - tem, as distinguished from the sand bot- tom at the island, and through this rock can be bored out under the lake, a tunnel which would serve as an ideal intake pipe, being absolutely unexposed to the ele- ments and being at a location free from danger of pollution. A. reservoir located on the top of the cliffs to which the water would be pumped would be some 350 feet above the level of the city, and the plan is to let the water from this reservoir run down to the city by force of gravitation. One Doubting Expert. This in brief was the plan recommended by four engineering experts who colleecGeed fees to the sum of $23,000 for their repiirt. Now comes along one of these experts with the assertion that the scheme will not do, because the water will not run down from the reservoir with sufficient pressure to establish a practicable system of water works for the city. This remarkable statement has been greeted with mingled expressions of consternation and incredul- ity. To the average man on the street! the proposition that water cannot be, made to run down hill is altogether novel. However, learned professors have been scratching their heads over the problem,` which they admit is, after all, a eompli-; cated one. The consensus of opinion seems to he, however, that competent en- gineers should be able to bring the water from the heights of Scarboro into the city some way or other, and there should be no doubt as to the possibility of making the scheme practicable. An Attack on the Hydro. No little interest has been expressed on the attack made upon the Hydro Electric system of Ontario by a New York com- mittee of investigation, sent here last year by the New York State legislature. With the exception of the attacks mad, by the local competing corporations this is the first criticism of Ontario's pet pub- lic ownership scheme. According to the New York State com- mittee, the Hydro Electric scheme has been losing money, their figures estimat- ing an annual loss of as high as $500,000 a year. They assert that the small muni- cipalities particularly have undertaken liabilities out of all proportion to the benefits to be derived, one specific instance being of 'certain municipalities whose fresh bonded debt on account of the Hydro scheme runs to $31 for every man, woman and child in the villages.
