TRIALS OF MECIIANICS I1�I
TIIAT. COUNTRY.

Overcrowded.
Australia has so often been de-
elrieted as the paradise of the work-
ingman that the English public
have read with a good deal of sur-
prise of the experience of a number
of mechanics who went there from
this country= some months ago, and
who have now returned, after fail-
ing not only to find the `high wages
that they hoped for, but any living
wage at all, writes a .London cor-
•respondent: }�
"Au�atralia., said one ..sof these
men who arrived at Tilbury on the
liner Otranto last Saturday, "is in-
fested with persons' who cannot get
work. Seores of Englishmen and
Englishwomen are practically starv-
ing in Sydney, and have no money
with which to return home."
The man who made this state-
ment to a reporter of The Daily
Mirror was Robert Broadbent, 'a
Manchester motor mechanic, whe
went -bp Australia- last November
with his wife and two children.
Here is what he says aa to his ex-
periences,:
For four 'weeks I tried to get a
job as a motor mechanic in" Sydney,
but the employers only laughed, at
me and told me they did not want
anybody. Then I went iip .country
to . Bankstown, and remained there
three weeks without being able�to
Jeta. situation at myown
e.
• The only offer I had was of a job as
a packer in a jam factory at $7.50 a
week. To add to my nnsfortunes,
ray wife .was ill with rheumatic fe-
ver fora month, and I had to pay
a doctor $5 a day to attend her.
"I know now that England is the
best place for me. I .am going to
Blaekpool; and I am sure of get-
ting good work. My venture in
Australia, has cost me altogether
1,05.0."
"No one who has not been there
has any idea what the place is
said Mrs. Brooelbeti't. "The
rr heat is so terrible 'tlhee a woman
cannot work as she does in . Eng-
land. Food and clothes are deter.
Iam very glad to be back again.''„
"I went to Sydney last' July,
se,* James Gray, a shoemaker of
Derby. "It was seven weeks be-
fore I could get a job. I started
work on October 15, and. got $6.25
a 'eek until Christmas. when I
earned only $2.50 a week. After
Christmas I worked on the Govern-
ment Railway in Darling Harbor
unloading trucks. I received 25
cents an hour, and worked some-
times five and sometimes
seight
ht
hours a clay. There is plenty
work, if you like to go on a, farm up
country, but the pay was not good
enough for me."
Socialist's Experience.
E.. R. Hartley of Bradford, who
has -been lecturing on 'Socialism in
Australia during the last eighteen
months, said that a few weeks ago
there was a procession of between
2,000 and 30000, unemployed in:Mel-
bourne: .e "Australia," he contin-
ued, . "is a. paradise jor the agricul-
t,.turai: laborer and the single man,
but it is no good for a mechanic to
go•out there unless he has first ob-
tained a job, runless; of course, lie
intends to go on the land. A shil-
ling an hour—,or Be. ($2) a day—is
the farm laborer's wage, and if he
is willing to, rough it and: do hard
work he gets on very , well ' indeed.
"Rent is high—five-roomed cot-
tages just outside Sydney fetch
over $5 a week, and it is usual to
find two families living in one
�cluse."
Am official of the New Soulh
"Vales Emigration Bureau in ..Lone
don, to whom these statements were
submitted, said that men going to
Australia must conform to the re-
quirements of the country. "We
are most scrupulous,"- he ,said, "in
,our advice to intending emigrants.
,We'do not advise meaha,nies or
artisans to go there unless they are
sure of getting a job when they
land. There is no need for any one
to starve in Sydney. If these men
would go away from'the cities they
would find plenty of work.
"About a fortnight ago an unena-
ployed delegation waited on the
premier of New South Wales and
' said that 4,000 men were out of •em-
pleyment. The Premier went into.
the question, and found that not a
single 'skillecl man had been unable
to get workbut that the men
themselves' lied eefused work be-
cause it was lop country. And in-
stead of 4,000 being out of work, it
was/A{found that the ;number was

THE SECRET OF
GQOD HEALTH
Imp t the Blood Rich slid Pure with
Dr. Williams' ` Pink Pills
The condition of the blood makes
all the 'difference between health
and sickness. 'Iiiipure blood and
strong healthy nerves and muscles
never. "'go together. If the blood is
thin every part of the body be-
comes weak. The stomach fails in
strength and the appetite becomes
poor, The. body does not • obtain
enough nourishment from the food,
and soon the nerves begin to oum-
plain and the person becomes-ieri-
table, despondent, worn out and
nervous. For a time there may be
no actual sickness, only a run-
down, weak, •condition, but there is
no defence against disease and from
etch a condition spring disorders
such as anaemia, rheumatism, indi-
gestion, neuralgia, and even para-
lysis itself.
People with impure, thin blood
should take Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People. Every dose
helps to make new, rich blood, and
new blood means health and
strength. They stop the progress
of disease, and red cheeks, good,
appetite. new,strength, declare the
general improvement in the health.
Here is an example. Miss Ellen
Maude McQuodale, Harristo•n, Ont.,
says: "I- feel it my duty to add my
voice to the many now recommend-
ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. For
years T was a sufferer with back-
aches, rheumatism" and nervous-
ness. I was so bad at times that I'
was confined to my bed. I felt
sleepy and heavy after my meals,
and had flashes of light before my
eyes, and a difficulty in collecting
my thoughts. After using several
remedies without- benefit I began
using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and
used ten or twelve boxes in all.
They' gave me the best health I have
enjoyed for years, and I have not
since had the least return of the
trouble."
You can get these pills from any
dealer in medicine or by mail at
50 cents a box or six boxes for
$2.50 from. The Dr. Williams' Medi-
cine Co., Brookville, Ont.

land, a great increase in the busi-
ness of insuringthe various impor-
tant parts of the anatomy of pro-
fcssional persons. The latest is
Miss Grace Tyson, an actress, new
appearing at the London Opera
House, who has insured her eyes
for 25,000. She has a reputation
for emotional expression, of the
eyes, hence her -care 'ef ethem.
According to an insurance mana-
ger, Paderewski has Ms hands in-
sured for about 240,000, Caruso has
insured his voice, and the case of
this actress is not the first where a
person has insured the eyes.
A policy was recently taken out
by ascientific man on his eyes ow-
ing to the fact that his research.
weak was a constant strain, and in
this instance the premium was
rather high. Policies have been
taken out ley several well-known
artists who are afraid that they may
lose the use of their hands.
The most remarkable clientof all
was alady who insured her nose.
She was very proud of it—it was a
Roman nose—and as she did a con-
siderable amount of motoring there
was always 'a. possibility that she
might meet with an. accident. Be-
sides insuring her life, she took out
a policy on hernose, and for ten
years paid the premium regularly.
An armless man who did all his
writing with his toes insured his
feet for 2500. One evening, when
he was out walking, 'he stumbled
and fell and injured one of his toes
so badly that it had to be ampu-
ean leeping at -night, His face was.,
covered with eruptions. After unsuccessful
attempts with different remedies,,_I tried

The Uses of Birds.
Sir Harry Johnston has recently
urged the British Government to
prohibit the African trade in the
plumage of such birds as white her-
ons, egrets, ibises, glossy starlings,
and kingfishers. A.11 those birds,
and, many others that are killed for:
their feathers, feed upon insects,
ticks, and other creatures that act
as hosts for disease -breeding organ-
isms. According to Sir Harry, the
variety of tsetse -fly that .causes
sleeping -sickness is particularly
abundant in all triose parts of Wes-
tern and Central Africa where the
plumage -hunters have reduced the
number of the insect -eating birds.
]1e proposes that a law be passed
to prohibit the importation of the
skins and feather-. of such birds into
Great Britain and Ireland.
