For this reason we print the verbatim statement of Juan E. Pow- ell, written from his home in Carleton. 'I am a strong, powerful man, six feet tall, and weigh nearly two hundred. I have been accustom- ed all may life to lift great weight, but one day 1 over- did it, and wrench- ed my back badly. Every tendon and musele was sore. To stoop or bend was agony. I had a whole bottle. of Nerviline rubbed on in one clay, and by night I was well again. I know of no liniment possessing one- half the penetrat'on and pain -subduing properties of Nei- -aline. 1 urge its use strongly as an invaluable liniment and household cure for all minor ailments, such as strains, sprains, swellings, neu- ralgia, sciatica, lumbago, rheumatism and muscular pain." No better medibine for curing pain was ever put in a bottle than Nerviline —over one million bottles used every year—better try it yourself. 25c or five for $1.

A disposal service for the handling of material excavated at buildimg founda- tions, building rubbish, ashes from pow- er plants, etc., is being operated by tke Chicago Subway Company, whick owns a system of some 40 miles of small, deep level tunnels under the city of Ckicago. Spurs are run to deep basements or to shafts where the materials are loaded into cars, which are hauled by electric locomotives to a disposal station on the west bank of the Chicago River near Madison street. Here there is a shaft, over which are the runways for two electric trolley hoists, each operated by a man riding on the machine. When a car is set at the bottom of the shaft, the body is hoisted up and run out over a hump scow moored alongside the sta- tion. The car body is lowered and the bottom released. discharging the con- tents into the scow. The empty body is then run back and lowered upon the car -frame at the bottom of the shaft. •.e A WINDSOR ,.LADY'S APPEAL, seed, free whin full Instructions, my home treatment whit* postively cures Leucorrhoea.

Out of the approved applicants about 34 per cent. were agricultural laborers. It is estimated that at the end of September of this year not less than 50,000 acres was obtained, but few of the applicants desire to purchase their holdings., Out of 23,295 applications received during the year only 629 or 2.7 per cent. ex- pressed a desire to purchase. No doubt considerable land has been supplied by land owners direct, main- ly through the intervention of county councils, stimulated by the provisions of the act. During 1908 there were in Devon and Cornwall 722 applications for 12,271 acres. The councils purchased 440 acres and leased 120 acres. In the southwest of England there are large areas of crown lands once under cul- tivation but now neglected that will doubtless be brought back in the near future to suitable and profitable hus- bandry by the hands' of the people.— From Daily Consular and Trade Re- ports. �..t. 70 Years Old GRATEFUL FOR MEDICAL AID "Though I had passed my seventieth birthday," writes R. A. Silvera, from Duncan P. 0., "I am paixfully aware that one of the penalties of old age is the slowing down of the activities of the system. One of the most dangerous conditions of old age is constipation, an indirect cause of many sudden deaths. I have used many medieines, but none so suited to old age as Dr. Hamilton's Pills. They are wonderful regulators— keep the stomach and bowels in perfect condition, prevent indigestion, bilious- ness, liver complaint and constipation. I recommend Dr. Hamilton's Pills because they never grip nor cause distress—just a mild tonic laxative."

When steamers first came into use very little attention was bestowed upon the consumption of fuel. It was not until the Cunard steamers were started crossing the Atlantic in 1840 that reli- able records of fuel consumption began to be kept systematically. The Britan- nia, one of the early Cunarders, used to make the run from Liverpool to New York in about 14 days on a coal con- sumption of about 4.7 pounds .per indi- cated horse -power an hour.

The course of nine • holes, varying from 170 to 350 yards, is between Maloja and the pass which leads from the Engadine to the Lake of Como and eammands • lovely views of the Silser Sea and the• snowclad peaks; the hazards are chiefly depressions between the hills. Tho alti- tude of these links is about 6,200 feet above sea level. The small course at St. Moritz is - about the same altitude, while that at Samaden, one of the finest links on the continent, is about 5,500 feet, the next highest being that of Montana, above the Rhone valley, about 5,000 feet.
