The table should not appear crowd- ed, and, as far as possible, china, glassware, and silverware should harmonize—that is, they should all adhere strictly to the note of sim- plicity.

Most people think of neuralgia as a Pain in the head or in the face, but neuralgia may affeeti any nerve in the body. Different names aro given to it when it affects certain nerves. Thus neuralgia of the sciatic nerve is called sciatica, but the character of the pain and the nature of the disease are the same. The cause being the same, the cure to be effective must be the same. The pain In neuralgia IS caused by starved nerves. The blood which car- ries nourishment to the nerves has be- come thin and impure and no longer does so, and the pain you feel is the cry of the nerves for their natural ; food. You may ease the pain of neur- algia with hot applications, but you can only euro the trouble by enriching and purifying the blood. For this par- ' pose we know of no medicine that can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These Pills actually make new, .rich blood and thus act as the most efficient of nerve tonics. If you are suffering ' from this most dreaded of troubles, or any form of nerve trouble, give these pills a fair trial, and see how speedily you will be restored to good health. - 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. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. 0�6 Mormonism hi the Old Land. The Anti -Mormon Society in Eng- land has appealed to the British Gov- ernment for help against the growing evil of Mormonism in the United King- dom, In the present social unrest over there, Mormon missionaries are having unprecedented success in se- curing converts. One advantage of being a Mormon is that, on joining the church, one be- comes a saint right away. In other religions there are bothersome pre- liminaries. Eighty-two years have elapsed since Joseph Smith dug out of••a hill not far from Palmyra, N.Y., the original book, written by a prophet named Mormon on thin plates of gold fastened to- gether with three gold rings, which contained a'revelation. It was packed in a stone box, and an angel told Smith where to dig for it. Afterward the angel flew away with the book, so that it is no longer ex- tant in the original, but eleven "wit - — -- -: — That Big Job.

The book was written in strange characters described by Smith as "re- formed Egyptian." He could not read even English very well, but the prob- lem of translation proved not at all difficult, inasmuch as the angel had been so thoughtful as to provide him for the purpose with a pair of sulier- natural spectacles"—two crystals set in a silver bow, With the aid of these he dictated a copy in English of scrip- tural style, Snaith, like other great men, had his little weakness, It was for the ladies. Sixteen years after the digging of the Mormon Bible he lead another revela- tion. The angel came back and told him to issue an ecclesiastical edict ap- proving polygamy,. Whereunto ho himself took steps to annex the wives of a number of the true believers. At least two of the husbands objected, and a tremendous row followed, the upshot being the incarceration of Smith at Carthage, ill, --the Mormon settlement being then at Nauvoo. A mob broke into the jail and shot him to death. His mantle as leader -in -chief of the Mormons was later assumed by Brig- ham Young, who was one of the origin- al Twelve Apostles. It was he who led the persecuted Latter Day Saints out to Ijtah, one' of the wagons carry- ing a small flour hill, which during the pilgrimage ground wheat newly reaped from fields previously sown along the route by an advance guard. Smith started the polygamy busi- ness, but Young, an exceedingly able man, developed it. He had forty -odd wives, and under his influence the population of Salt Lake City rapidly grew.

The essential function in breathing is to aerate the blood, and when the respirations are of the proper depth and rapidity the work is done perfect- ly, anti"' an even balance of health is maintained, Unfortunately, most of - us do not breathe properly; the com- mon fault is not breathing deeply enough. The inspirations should ba - full enough to expand the lungs and ..to open all the little air cells so that the blood in the minute arteries are exposed to the purifying action of oxygen. Deep inspirations ,also cause an alternation of the amount of blood in the abdomen and prevent venous 1 ' atthe Ott o ration which is bottom f stagnation, manymillor ills of the digestive organs. Another result of the more perfect oxygenation of the blood that follows deep breathing is a sharpening of the mental faculties and a clearing away of the cobwebs that the epiders of worry and of discouragement spin round and through the brain. Of eourse we cannot devote all of our waking moments to a regulation of breathing; there are other things to do, and, moreover, it would be over- doing a good thing if we were to breathe to the fullest extent all of the Vine. What we should do is to prac- tice deep breathing out of doors or at an open window for -a few minutes three or four times a day—before go-' ing to bed and on getting up, and then before the midday and the evening meal.

A Wholesome Diet. The public must necessarily judge food very largely by the eye. Green colored apples are difficult to sell, even when of fine quality, but a red apple will usually bring a good price, even though the actual flavor may be but little better than a turnip. Rice, in order to make it attractive, has to be coated with glucose and powdered talc, by which it gets its fine gloss. Butter must be yellow to please the purchaser and is therefore -Frequently colored with a yellow dye. But the public demands wheat flour in as white a form as possible, and hence it has often been bleached to remove its natural yellow tint. In bulletin No. 40, "The Use of Coarse Grains for Human Food," which may be had free upon application to the Publications Branch; Department of Agriculture, Ottaw:, it is shown that with the ad- vance of civilization ani the improv- ing of machinery there has been a tendency to discard the coarse and re- latively indigestible substances in our food with the result that we have reached a stage where most .people consume too large a proportion of re- fined material and too little of the necessary coarse and relatively indi- gestible substances. Lately, however, people have become alarmed and ac- tion has begun against what may be fairly called "overspuriflcation of foods." The object of the new bulletin is two -fold: first, to show to farmers generally how they can become more nearly self-sufficient as far as the food supply for themselves and theist family is concerned; and second, to point out for the benefit of other classes of people some ways of mines mining in the cost of their food, and at the tame time improving oving the whole- sollleme s of thcir diet.
