THUUGUTS ON MISTAKES., • We may make mistakes in trying to Help others, tout what pardonable mistakes they are The man who does things makes mistakes, tout he never makes the greatest mistake of all, doing no- thing. Mistakes are often the first let- ters in the lessons of life. We can Make 'strong words out of them, if we, .will, When yen make e, mistake do not look back at it long. Take the reas- on 'of the thing' into your .mind; then look forward. It is 'foolish to try to hide our mi'stalte; in the first place, it can- not be'done very long ;`and if .it could it would only add a second mistake to- the first. It is a mistake to spay no attention bo the mistakes of others, nor try to help -'them out of Olean; Aiding others to be 'strong is the best 'way to strengthen ourselves, One of the mistakes that poisons home life is the unwillingness to yield in unianpontantt trifle's. The , desire always to have one's own way is far from the fay of life. ' If we do not look ,ahead and plan our life we shall some day realize our great ani'stake. A life rwithoint a plan is as orazy an affair as a house without a plan for its build- ing. It is nail our mistakes that cause us to fail, but only a wrong atti- tude toward our mistake's. The Chinese say, "Our greatest glory is not in never ;failing, bub in rising* every 'time we fall." a_ According to Father. Little Charlie had been naughty, and .was 'now doing penance in the corner, "I rant help being n'au'ghty," he said, in a. thoughtfully sad voice. "1 never heard off any boy being perfect-- exoeplt one," "Who Tj10 was that V' asked mother, trying to hide her smiles. "F al'ver--rwhen he was little," camnc the trashing retort. IIow a Sisk Woman Can Regan Health . READ THIS VERY CAREFULLY, "For years I was thin and delicate. I lost color and was easily tired; a yellow pallor, pimples and blotches on my face were not only mortifying to my feelings, but because 1 thought my skin would never look nice again I grew despondent. Then my .appetite failed. I grew very weak. • Various remedies, pills, tonics 'and rtablets 1 tried without permanent benefit. A visit to my sister put into my hands a box of Dr. Hamilton's Pills. She placed reliance upon them and now that they have made me a well woman 1 would not be without them whatever they might cost. I found Dr. Ramie ton's Pills. by their mild yet searching action very suitable to the delicate character of a woman's nature. They never once griped me, yet they estab- lished regularity. My appetite grew keen—my blood red and pure—heavy rings under my eyes disappeared and to -day my skin is as clear and un- wrinkled as when I was a girl.. Dr. Hamilton's Pills did it all." The above straightforward letter from Mrs• J. Y.,Todd, wife of a well- known miller in Rogersville, is proof sufficient that Dr Hamilton's Pills are a wonderful woman's medicine.

Muss Cecile Hugon, lecturer in French iteraature to the Oxford So- ciety for Women's Education, Lon- don, according to the Post; recent- ly read a. paper in answer to the question, "Should fairy tales be told to children?" Miss Hugon in a sketch of the his- tory of fairy tales, in which the in - (shake all tales magic and sue pernatural beings, said they were proiblably infinitely older than .the age of Job or the 'invention of the potter's wheel.,,, Incidentally the suggested that the "glass slipper" of Cinderella, .at, once so puzzling and captivating a detail of the story to English ohilclrem, is clue t0 a mistranslation of the French of Perrault. Perrault wrote not "e'ouleir de verge," but "soulier de Mir," "vair'° being a kind of fur. We may be sure, said Miss Hugon, that Cinderella wore little gray shoes with. fur round the top and had- never 'heard of glass slipperls- In Difficulties.

SHADOW Tea Drinker . Feared Paralysis. Steady use of either tea or coffee often produces alarming symptoms, as the poison (caffeine) contained in these beverages acts with more potency in some persons than in others. "I was never a coffee drinker," writers :a lady, "but a tea drinker. I was very nervous, latd frequenit spells of sick headache and heart, trouble; and was subject at times to severe attacks of bilious celaa, "No end of sleepless nights-- would ights-would have spells at night when my right side would get numb and tin- gle like a thousand nteledles were pricking my flesh.

MUST DISINFECT WAR ZONE, Ground to be Saturated With Lime .Over Regions Affected; "Seven months after' the begin- ning of the retreat of the Ger- mans, er- mans," says Dr. Doizy, rteputy for the department of the . Ardennes,. "uniburied dead are being discover- ed :on the battlefieldtof the Marne. In the centre of a village on the banks of the '1VIarne, where • the sanitary depantmnent was clearing away the debris, they 'brought to light a body that was beyond identi- fication either as. . German or French. • "Hundreds, if net thousands, of bodies are supposed *,o be lying more or less submerged in the Saint Gond marshes where the Prussian Guard was thrown ibaek; they had neither the time nor the means to save those who ,fell there." In order to avoid the pestilential. effects of warm weather on these unburied corpses, Dr.Doizy thinks it will be necessary to explore the entire swamp region, with 'the aid of dogs. Bodies are also being found eon- stantly under brush in ditches and abandoned trenches. They are found not only in cache's, trenohps, and excavations made by shells, but in wells, springs and all the little streams of the region. In many places where it was possible for them .to bury their dead they were insufficiently crovered with earth, and were frequently buried in boo close proximity to sources of water supply. These conditions exist ever • a zone 250 miles long, and from 10 to 40 miles wide, with a total of, from 5,000 to 6,000 square miles of ground, a, considerable part of which required thorough disinfec- tion to-preventeahe outbreak of epi- deanics. Besides the bodies of men there were in this zone thousands of (bodies of animals; part of thein' killed by shell fire and many of them dead from starvation, having• been abandonedy by ' the fleeing population.

Those who know .the Prince of Wales intimately say that he is as fond of a joke now as he was when he was a little ;boy, and in his nur- sery days his quaint sayingswere proverbial in the royal family.

"All about Perkin Warbeok," re-' plied His Royal'.Highness. ' "And who was he V' inquired His Majesty anxious to test his grand- son's knowledge.

DODID'S KIDNEY PILLS. Western Man Tells Why Ddcltl's Kidney Pills Are So Popular on the Prairies. Iloneglen, Alberta, May 3rd (Special).—Just Why Dndd's Kid- ney Pills are so popular en the prairies is shown by the statement of Mr. Ii. A, Clark, a well-known resident of this place. "Since I came West," Mr. Clark states, "I was often troubled with my stoanach and back. Finally I decided to try *Dodd's Kidney Pills and before I• had taken more than half a box .I was ee much benaeater' that 1 recomniended them to a friend. He also found them a benefit. I am still taking Dodd's Kidney Pills, I would xiot be without teem." In new countries bad water is one of the difficulties settlers have to fight and bad water makes its first attack on the kidneys. To resist this attack the Kidneys must be stimulated and strengthendd. In other words the Kidneys need Dodd's Kidney Pills,. By giving the Kidneys the help they need people get new health, and Dodd's Kidney Pills add to t!heTpopularity. A GUIDE TO :PURCHASERS. An Expert Opinion on the Use of Newspapers. Whenever business has called me to a city or town where I could get in touch with local tautorcbobile con- ditions in the last year or two I have been 'struck by the interest of ahs prospective buyer in the me- chanism of the ear he is inspecting, says a representative of a large automobile concern. This,- con- trary to the pretty general belief that cars are bought on size and looks only. It is this eager desire for exact knowledge which had the largest influence in causing us to prepare a tseries of advertisements dealing with the mechanical fea- tures of our cars. We decided to use these advertisements in news- papers because we regard them as the medium that is immediately re 4;ponerive. ,. Iegone - The time haswhen an by ,autJomobile is purchased merely be- cause it is 'good looking. Once on a time the man about to buy an automobile looked only at the lines of the hood, eo-day he is vitally and intelligently interested in what lies under the hood. Since the work of the advertising department is to tell the public what it wants to know and what it should know about automobiles in order to purchase intelligently, naturally we are, keen to get our stoney as quickly as possible to the public. Having decided to give what one might call an education in the mechanical features of our oar, we are using the newspapers. because we can keep our hands on the pulse of the public interest and amplify any of these talks almost in 'a day if we find there are reasons for doing so because of local con- ditions in, any part of the country. In these mechanical advertise- ments we have a comprehensive guide to the machine. With their drawings they give the owner an understanding of the details of construction and operation. gage- ``Nerviline'' Ends Stiff Neck, Lumbago Any Curable Muscular or Joint Pain Is Instantly Relieved by Nerviline.

Sir Patience ' Ward was Lord' Mayor of London in 1680, Eve Sliffhtan is mentioned in a wal . of the six- teenth.century and Grace Herd -win was an old landowner in America. As to male names usurped by the ladies, instances occur of feminine Philips and Georges, and in one case a daughter was duly baptized Noah.
