How to 'Resist a Cold.
' One way to overcome chilly sensa-
tions of the spine and back on the
.least change of temperature is to
put your back up, so to speak — to
contract the muscles of the back.
Thus, says Family Doctor, which pro-
, Leeds :—If you are getting chilly
!about the back of the neck stiffen
",the neck and set the muscles to
work: When you are , sitting .still
nd rind yourself -getting s hilly sib
he muscles to work and You will
"soon get over it; If you do not start
,your muscles going you will soon
Find them going of their own accord.
'You will begin to shiver—an invol-
untary action of the muscles. If you
(will set your muscles at work before
that shivering t:omes you will be
able to prevent it. Contract your
Bands, your legs, the nluscles of
lour back, raise up your chest, stif-
fen your neck, then turn it vigor-
ously, slowly, from side to side, or
bend it backwards and forwards.
:This will keep you from taking cold.
;One need never take cold when sit-
ting still. You can make your
muscles work just as hard when sit-
ting down as when walking about
and it may be more convenient.
Quick Mustard Plaster.
A trained nurse says that if one
forgets the exact proportion for
making a mustard plaster one can
be quickly made by cutting a thick
slice of bread, dipping it for a sec-
ond
eaand ine hot water, then spreading.
with white of an egg, and sprink-
ling thickly with mustard. The egg
will prevent blistering.
TRENGTH FOR
WEAN STOMACH
Can Only Be Had Through
Rich Red. Blood
When the blood is poor and thin
and the -stomach in consequence is
imperfectly supplied with oxidized
blood and nerve `force, the diges-
tive process becomes slow and fer-
mentations of the food goes on, with
the formation of gas and certain
acids. The pressure of the gas
causes pain in the stomach; some-
times it affects the heart. : When
the gas is belched out through the
mouth the patient is temporarily
relieved, the sour risings in the
throat, and the burning sensations
in the throat and stomach are
caused by the acid fermentations.
There are plenty of things to neu-
tralize these acids, or to "sweeten
the stomach," as it is called, but
they do not cure the tro4tble. Pure,
rich blood which will tone up the
stomach and enable it to do the
work nature intended it to do, is
the only road to a cure. Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills make new, rich,
red blood—that is why they cure
even the most obstinate cases of in-
digestion. The following is a bit of
proof. Miss Minnie Greene, of
Hall's Bridge, Ont., says : "About
a year ago I was greatly troubled
with my stomach. Everything I ate
caused me paiin and distress. I
would feel as though I was starved,
but when meal time came the sight
of food caused a feeling of loathing.
There were days when I could not
even hold milk on my stomach, and
my head would ache so that I could
hardly keep from screaming. Only
those who have suffered from sto-
mach trouble know the torture I
suffered. I tried almost every re-
medy recommended, but found not
the least benefit until I began tak-
ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These
I used for a couple of months and
they worked a perfect cure and I
am enjoying good health and able to
eat freely all kinds of food."
If you are suffering from indiges-
tion or any other trouble due to
poor watery blood, begin to cure
yourself to -day by the use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. Solus by all

partisan feelings and resulting in charges
of unfairness on both sides, does much to

Lake Ontario on Rampage.
Some apprehension is felt on account of
the unusually high level of the water in
Lake Ontario during the present year. ft
is now almost three feet higher than, the
average, and as it generally continues ris-
ing until early in June, it is possible that
all records, which have been kept for 50
years back, will be broken.
No one understands what causes the
fluctuation of the water level in the Great
Lakes. At Toronto fluctuations have'been
observed covering a range of six feet. The.
lowest ever recorded was when ;,the level
sank to 242.92 feet above the mean sea' level
at New York. This was on May 18th, 1895,
The highest reached -was on May 6th, 1870,
when the level was 248.96 feet above the
mean level at New York. Por a few weeks
past the level has been hovering around
248 feet, or, as it is technically described;
36 inches above zero. Zero being a ,-mint
fixed at 245 feet above the New York Wel.

SHORT WORDS.
Writers to Impress People
Use Simple English.
A man who acts as tutor and
companion to a young boy wrote
this indorsement on one of the boy's
bomposiltIons : "Use shorter words --
follow the example of Horatio Soy-
aour. This is past of an address
ivered by him to students in
1878: `Short words, like love, hate
or zeal, have a clear ring which
ears our minds or touches hearts.
They but tell of joy or grief, ofrage
or peace, of life or death. They
are Balt by all, for their terms
-mean the same thing to all men.
We learn them in youth; they are
,on our lips through all days, and
we utter them down to the close of
our life, • They are the apt terms
with which we speak of' things
which are high or great or noble.
They are the grand words of our
tongue ; they teach us how the,
world was made. God said, Let
there be light and there was light.'

Chinese of Swatow are Returning

Shortly after the revolution of
1911-1912 in China there was a
marked tendency among the middle
and better classes of Chinese to
adopt •European dress. Most of
those who could afford to made the
change; but the bulk of the people,
laborers, ,ertisans and small shop-
keepers, could not afford it. How-
ever, there was a large demand for
all sorts of foreign Wearing appar-
el. But lately, according to Consul

Swatow, a reaction has set in and

Toronto Has "Big Eyes."
Acoordiag to the estimates of the City
of Toronto for the financial year, the City
proposes to spend the enormous sum of
$39,146,142.00. This figure is deceptive. The
actual current expenditures for the year
amount to $11,744,956.00. The balance of
something over $27,000,000.00 is made up,
of items which might be described as ca-
pital expenditures, that is, they are for
permanent improvements. The significant
thing about the figure is that it indicates
what an enormous development is under
way, The largest item in the total is an
amount of less than seven million dollars
for a waterworks extension scheme. There
is another two and a half million dollars
temiofdfor the approx mately oneemViaduct. llars
is set aside for a garbage incinerator
plant. The other items are the ordinary`
run of public works. That they should
amount to such a large total indicates the
present temper of the citizens generally
toward extension.
There is no possibility that all of this
sum will be spent during the present year.
The cash will be raised by the sale of
bonds and debentures, and as there is al-
ready some twelve million dollars of these
securities undigested, the prospects for
fresh sales are not of the best. Eyed with
the money available it would not be pos-
sible
ossible to do more than begin a number of
the public weeks included in this year's.
estimates.
Of the eleven million odd, to be spent

producing assets such as the waterworks.
The balance of $8,546,638 is to be raised
by taxation, which is to be levied on the -
tax -payer at the rate of 191.2 mills. On
the whole it may be said that the city" is
taking Mr. W. P. Maclean's advise and has
been getting "big eyes."
