IN MISERY AT MEAL TIME Indigestion Can Be Cured By tho Use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills If your digestion is weak you can- not derive proper nourishment from your food. The pain and dis- tress you suffer is a protest from your stomach that it' is unable to do its work. • It is then that you solo all appetite, have dull head • aches, acute pains in the chest and abdomen; heartburn and other dis- tressing symptoms. You cannot cure indigestion by the use of laxatives, and pre-digest- ed foods only make the stomach mors sluggish, Indigestion can only be cured by giving tone to owkeGioeeigtllening tho nerves that control the stomach. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured indigestion times without number, because they purify ,.and enrich the blood. In this • way 'they improve the ap- petitei' dispel the torments of in- digestion and enable you to derive benefit from the food you take. The .following is proof of these state- ments. Mrs. George Brien, Great Shenlogue, N,B., says: "A few years ago I was taken down with a fever which left me suffering from nervous stomach trouble. I ap- parently got over it, but the trou- ble could not have been wholly eradicated, as 'during the summer of 1912 I was taken down with it again. I took many medicines, and was attended by two different doctors, but instead of getting well seemed to be growing worse. I could not eat without suffering the most intense pains; even a drink of milk seemed to upset me. I slept poorly and at last dreaded to see night come. In this condition I saw in a newspaper the story of a woman who had similarly suffered and was cured through the use of Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. I decid- ed to try the Pills and found by the time I had taken three boxes that they were helping me. I continued using the Pills until I had taken eight boxes, when the trouble had disappeared, and I have to thank Dr, Williams' Pink Pills for restor- ing my health 'after I had practi- cally given up hope of ever being well again." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or will be sent by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by writing The Dr. Williaws' Medicine Go., Brock- ville, Ont. Hints for the home. The woman who -means to econo- mize on labor in her home will have as little bright metal as possible. If a rug curie, moisten it and wrap it around a broom stick, in the opposite way from its desires, then tie and let it dry. Meat patties for luncheon dishes are .economical because they can be made of almost every sort of cold meat. Anybody who has a hunter in the family can make a very nice little rug of rabbit skins sewn together on a piece of carpet. Seep in the ceI.lar a few onions which you allow to send up shoots. They are: delicious in winter salads, or to rub the salad bowl with. If lime in the water forms acoat- ing inside the teakettle it may be removed with vinegar or sulphuric acid. Be careful to wash the kettle of terward. If mirrors are very' dull 'and speckled the following method is ex- cellent: Take a small portion of whitening and add sufficient cold tea to it to make a paste; rub the glass with warm, dry tea; with asoft cloth; then rub a little of the paste well on the mirror and polish dry with tissue paper. It is a convenience to make vege- table bags of cheesecloth, into which you put celery. tomatoes, let- tuce and other fresh vegetables be- fore placing in the refrigerator.

Inland Lake lax the Sahara 'Whi.eh' Tlltflle `.tra11 vellers. The report of the Tilho Mission,. which has reoently returned to France from a long study of geoe graphy, 'geology, - and ethnology in', the French Sudan, has raised again. the old problem of Lake Chad, All. the travellers who have crossed tho Sahara in, the past century, have been baffled by this inland lake, as large as Belgium., and as shallow as .a' fish 'pond. The chief, puzzle of Chad is its: outlet, Sine its waters are fresh, it is fair to assume that it has an outlet, But it is certainly tinder ground. Only native tradition is positive. This declares that the Niger, and the Shari, which enters.. Lake Chad, were once tributaries of the Nile, and flowed across the Libyan desert. Such a legend seemed preposter- ous half a century ago, but recent' years have added to the credibility of native tradition. Thus the Ni- gerian igerian tribes.. say that the Niger, instead of running southward at the great bend, used to flow north, and buried itself in the great Sa- hara. Chudeau and Gautier, the most careful explorers of the re- gion, believe that the Niger long emptied its waters into another Caspian Sea, in the great depres- sion of El Juf, in the western Sa- hara. As to the legend of 'Lake Chad and the Nile, the Tilho mission, has brought back a partial confirma- tion. At the northeast corner of the lake there remains the dry bed' of an ancient river, which in the rainy season occasionally contains water ; this is the Bahr-d-Gazal, and the natives say it is the old outlet to the Nile. But so far as. the expedition followed the bed of this stream, it kept a level identical with Lake Chad. • There remains the mystery as to whether in the unexplored interior the Bahr-el-Gazal touches the foot of a dried-up cataract where a..van- ish•ed river reached Lake Chad thus prolonged, or whether it reaches a slope down which the out- let of Lake Chad began its journey toward the Nile across the present Libyan desert.

Constantly on their feet, attending to the wants of a large and exacting family, women often break down with nervous exhaustion. In the stores, factories, and on a farm are weak ailing women, dragged down with torturing backache and bearing down pains. Such suffering isn't natural but it's dangerous, because due to diseased kidneys. The dizziness, insomnia, deranged menses and other symptoms of Kidney eomplaint can't cure themselves, they require the assistance of Dr. Hamil- ton's Pills which go direct to the seat of the trouble. To give vitality and power to the kidneys, to lend aid to the. bladder and liver, to free the blood of poisons, probably there is no remedy so sue- ees9ful as Dr. Hamilton's Pills, E'or all womanly lrregulatitles their merit is well known.

Ile then spreads Overtazed Japan. The detailed story of the terrible fa- mine that has followed a crop failure fn Northern Japan reveals one of many reasons for the utter absurdity of the the Japanese war scare, The corre- spondent of the London Times says that It is the worst famine that Japan, which is well used to famines, has ex- perienced in a century, and that its ef- fect will be seen throughout the coun- try for years. But wholly aside from this unhappy condition of things, which will doubt- less stir -tile heart of the world 'so that prompt relief measures wig) follow, Japan cat/riot afford the luxury of war for many years - to?come. Taxes have more than doubled since the war with Russia and aro now about thirty per cent. of the ,income of business men and property holders. The industries are crippled by the lack of iron in the country and the lack of skilled labor. These are some o" the handicaps set forth with much de1!i by a recent ob- server, George Sherwood Eddy, in The New 'Era 11r'the East," He de- clares that, except as a matter of self- defence, Japan le. far too poor to dream of anotherwar for generations, IIe is also convinced that the.*reeent succes- ses of the people as soldiers,• sailors and merchants are only an outward de- velopment, and : that the heart of the nation --the life, the morals, the ethics of the people—are still under the 'spell of the Middle Ages, Regulating Morals by ]Feeding.

Meat of swine is forbidden. to the peoples of et least two rellgions, and fish is the favorite dish of others. What is good for some is poison for others, and what snakes one thin will make others fat. Jurat whether this dish will cause crime and the other pro- duce a benevolent, kindly disposition, remains to be seen. Eruption and Earthquake. The volcanic eruption and earthquake which overwhelmed a' populous city and several villages in Japan 18 the worst disaster of the kind since the French island of Martinique was laid waste in 1902, with the loss of 30,000 lives. Without doubt it is the most appalling catastrophe in the history of Nippon, Kago Shlma, which housed 04,000 peo- ple, is a modern Pompeii or Hercula- neum, buried under ashes and stones. Thousands who escaped the whirlwind of fire and the rush of molten lava were drowned in the tidal wave that swept over the city'. Others fled only to be trapped and perish in blazing for- ests. The tale of horror may not be vet complete, for two other volcanoes in the same range have burst forth. The symp,i'thv of the whole world will go out to Japan in this manifold visita- tion of woe, and there is need for im- mediate aid to the multitudes of home- less refugees in a stricken land. , Who Slaughter of Bulgarians. At this time, when Turkey is care- fully preparing to take from Greece what was forced from the Ottoman Empire by duress of arms by the Bal- kan allies, and when the Heart of the suffering, destitute and frenzied Bul- garian is racked with the bitterness of venom toward Service and Greeee, the heart of man is bowed with grief' over the shocking spectacle presented by the devastations resulting from a de- sire to place the cross above the cres- cent. It is figured that the male population of Bulgarian Macedonia was reduced in the course of hostilities from 175,300 to 42,500, in Bulgarian Thrace there are 225,000 male survivors out of a popula- tion of 4.94,000. in the district of Mus- tappha Pacha, to • the, north of Adrian- ople and close to the old Bulgarian frontier, 4,000 men and boys remain out of a total of 83,000, These figures are only for Bulgaria. The awful significance in the census showing is that it relates entirely to a decrease in the number of male Bulgar- ians. Yet in the face of this extraor- dinary slaughter the war spirit grows apace and the day is corning when B,i1- garia will press forward to regain its lost ground and wreak vengeance upon those who have so shockingly despoil- ed her!
