HEALTH
[ow to Preserve the Teeth iit Old
Age.
Some recent discoveries are ani
trounced by the 'medical profession,
-which are .as interesting as they
are astonishing, concerning the
care of the teethin old age,
Dr, W. C. Rucker, assistant
surgeon -general of the Public
Health Service in the United
Sta-tee, stands sponsor for new
and ample remedy to cure loose
teethe and prevent them from fall-
ing `out.
The drug that does the business
constitutes the active principle of
ipecac, and is known as emetin.
For eenturie:s the favorite remedy
of the nursery at that interesting
period of our youth, the growing of
teeth, ipecac now comes to our aid
as We pass un to the sunset of 1i.fe.
We used to think that the loss of
teeth late in life wars the inevitable
outcome, and symptom of advanc-
ing age, and hence, unavoidable.
For sane time; however, we
thought we knew drat it was really.
due to a specific bacterium, produc-
ing a disorder we called Rigg's
Disease, or Pyorrhoea. But recent
science denies this, and the im-
portant discovery has been made
that Riggs' Disease is caused by
amoeba—a microscopic animal or-
ganism—and the abominable para-
site has been absolutely identified.
This being ,ascertained, the next
step wan to find a serum or poison
that would end Mr. Amoeba's
earthly existence. We are all
familiar with the fact that quinine
is a poison deadly to the animal
parasite that causes Malaria.
In a ,similar manner investigation
has developed the fact that the ipe-
cac drug kills the germs of Rigg's
Dise.a`se or Pyorhhoea.
This dreaded complaint, through
all history has been a curse to the
race, depriving one Reason out of
every three, of most, if not of all,
their teeth in later life. We know.
this by examination of the mum-
mies of ancient Egypt, for they all
show unmistakable signs of its
ravages, but this is curable under
the treatment of the above discov-
ery, in every instance, and with
absolute oertainty. It only hakes a
small quantity of "emmetin," i'n-
leo-bed 3n the bliood, to give the de -
aired relief. Doses of the snuff
(which is harmless to health), are
repeated until the trouble entirely
disappears.
When we consider the dangers
that are sure to follow upon the loss
of the teeth—the impairment of the
digestive powers through improper-
ly m•astioated food, to say nothing
of the discomfort and disfigurement
their loins occasi.one, we may judge
the importance of this new triumph
of science.
People who have lost their teeth
are not apt to proclaim it on the
housetops, and hence many wear
false ones unsuspected. The fact
that over 20,000,000 false teeth,
• made of a fine quality of porcelain,
are required ,annually to refurnish
the more or less vacant mouths of
Americans, demonstrate tike terri-
ble ravages of Pyrrohoea.
While the Cause of this disease is
the microscopic amoeba, it has
been ascertained that the,. final ef-
fects are caused by bacterial
germs which come later, and set
up those . suppurative prooesses
which result eventually in loosening
she teeth.

WOMEN'S VI AKNESS
AND HEALTH PERILS
Anaemia Comes so Gratefully
That the Victim Scarcely Re-
alizes the Hold the Trouble
(las Upon Her Until
. Almost in a Decline.
Woman's work. is more -wearing
than man's because ib lasts almost,
every waking hour. There is no
eight or nine hour day for the
breadwinner's wife, and often she
toils under the greatest difficulty
because her strength is below what
it should be. The woman who is
indoors all day is 'very often care-
less about what She eats and does
not keep her blood up to the mark..
It becomes thin and poor, which
makes her weak, headachy, tired,
breathless and liable to pains in
the back and sides, the 'scourge of
her sex. New blood will do won-
ders for 'the woman who is tired
out, who aches all over when she
rises in the morning ,and feels un-
eceountably'depressed. She • ca.n',
gain new blood now, and drive
away the paths and ache's and
tiredness if she will take Dr. Wil- !,
hams' Pink Pills. They have work-
ed marvels for other women and
will do the same for you if you are
weak, tired, depressed or suffering
from backaches or sideaches. Mrs.
El ne•r C. Taylor, Calgary, Alta.,
says : "I was so run down with
anaemia that I could scarcely walk
without aid. I was not able to
leave the house. I had no color,
no appetite, and was constantly
troubled with headaches, dizzy
spells and a general disinclination
to move about or do 'anything. My
friends did not think I would get
better, and even the doctor was
apprehensive. I was constantly
taking medicine, but it did not do
me a particle of good. One day a
friend asked me if I had tried Dr.
'Williams' Pink Pills, and I decided
to do so almost as a forlorn hope.
After I had used a few boxes there
was a decided change for the bet-
ter, and people began to ask what'.
I was taking, the change was so
noticeable. As I continued the
Pills my color came back, I could
eat my meals regularly, the head-
aches and dizzy spells ceased, I
gained in weight and took a new
imtere,st in life, my cure being
complete. I have told many' sickly
women and:girls what Dr.
Hams' Pink Pills did 'for me and
urged thean to take them and
shall continue to do so, knowing
what a splendid medicine they
a,re.'
Every weak and ailing woman
who will follow Mrs. Taylor's ex-
ample and give Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills a .fair trial willl find new
health and strength through their
use. Sold by ell medicine dealers

Bonds grid Their
Yields
They Are a ParticularlyGood Buy Just Now -Prices Are
Cheap,:
There are many good reasges
why the present is an especially
opportune time to buy municipal
bonds. In the first place, they a,re
cheap, that is, cheap in ,comparison
with prices which have obtained`
during the past few years. It is"
not so very long since borrowing
municipalities were able to secure

sums of irony for which they dew,
have to play five and five and' Ia 'half
and even sir per cent. interest.
This is to the tadvantage of the bond
buyer, who can now get many low -
yield bonds Considerably below
par, .9r high-ymeld, gilt-edged se-
curities at ,about the sante price as
he formerly paid for low -yield de-
bentireis,
.Prices Steadily Advancing,
But conditions governing the,
money market cannot be exp:eeted
to keep so for very much longer.
Ini fact, there has been quite a,
noticeable change in the past few
months. Bond pricers have stiffen-
ed considerably sine the first of
the year, and inuv.icipalities are
abbe to strike a' little better bar-
gain with the bond houses than was
the case (three or four anoaiths ago.
Comparison of iis•suesrecentlly made
with those made in January shows
a firming -up in prioeis which the
bond buyer has to pay; and a still
further comparison with November
and August prices shows a sub-
stantial advance in prices of Cana-
dian municipal bonds witfhin these
periods.
There is no reason to 'suppose
that this advancing trend will
change ; rather the omega's point to
a 'smarter recovery in prices of
these •securities .which have been
considerably dearer in the past.
This reason alone world induce pre.
sent purchasing of municipal bonds,
because the price is very. reasonable
just now, and the market is favoir-
ing higher prices with their conse-
quent speculative profits without'
co•rrespondiinlg speculative risks, as
these securities are practically at
their low now and will not likely
go any lower, -
A Good Selling Market.
Apart from the fact 'that, muini-
•ciparl bonds are cheap rand offer
good opportunities, .t�hie shrewd
investor, they arse, also is goad buy
at the pressent time because of the
steady demand which always exists.
for this 'class of security. . Certain
institutions, holder's of trust funds
and ;ether corporations, are bound
by law to invest their funds in only
certain absolutelysafe classes of
securities. Municipal bonds come
within this category, and offer the
ideal investment for trust fundis,
as well asacaning within the restric-
tions imposed by Canadian laws.
This constant demand for anunici-
pal, for invesrtrnent of trust funds
is greater to -day than 'ever before,
and is bound to increase as time
goes on. General financial condi-
tions affect quickly all other se-
curity markets, but inasmuch as
municipals are -necessities for the
trustee, there will always he a
steady, stable market for the best
grade bonds of this class.
Security Is Worth While.
The sound security of the muni-
cipal bond makes a strong tappeail.
to every careful inve•sitor. No mat-
ter what conditions prevail, the
buyer of a municipal bond is rea-
sonably certain trait he • will get
back his principal at the appointed
time ; and that his interest will. be
regular, too. This will appeal to
many people .at the present time,
when certain branches of trade
have not been quite so good as
usual, and the securities issue.d
against 'such 'enterprises --in some
cases at least—ane not so well se-
cured, due to d'epr'eciation of plant
and property and other unavoid-
able causes.
No Time Like the Present.
Taken all round,, municipals are
an excellent buy just now. The
yield is large, and the present
prices cheap, though they are
steadily going up. There is the
beset of security behind such bonds;
and there is a good market, quite
apart from the 'demands of the ordi-
nary investing public. In good
timers or bad tames the municipal is
a 'safe investment, end at the pre-
sent time a partioularly attractive
buy because of its (three -fold ad-
vantages of price, market and se
a'irity of principal and interest.,
HOW WAR AFFECTS FRANCE

ELIMINATED DEFECTS.
Journalist Says French Nation Is
Incomparably Greater Than
It Was in August.
Mr. Giuseppe Bevione, Italian
journalist, who .recently mule a
trip through France, has described
his impressions of the situation
there in the Stamper of Turin. Un-
der the heading, "Me Transforma-
tion," he gives the following testi
monial to the noble dignity with
which the French nation bears the
burden of its war :—
"France has not become weaken
ed, but rather strengthened, in a
certain 'sense, by the war. The
France of to -day possesses an in-
comparably greater measure of
Strength, Energy and Solidarity
than the France of August, 1914.
France has cured many of its *WTI
MS. It has healed its old wounds,
it has fostered virtues which it
lacked formerly, and it has elimi-
nated deep-rooted defects.'
"It has been said that France was
disunited, but it has again found
unity ; that it was frivolous, yet it

and greater losses are still to be
expected. And yet France does not',
seem overshadowed by worry, or,
dejection. Itt remains tranquil,
perhaps with .an occasional out-
burst of joy, but just as often with-
out .any visible sign of being muelh
affected by the events of the war.
Whoever carried •home and spread
around Italy the notion that France
is at present like a grave yard,
with a Sot of mourners in it, did
not tell the truth. Would that
Italy might 'exhibit as much charac-

a 'short time the other passengers
began to doubt their belief, after
all. As the train moved out, how-
ever, the young man rose to remove
his overcoat, and a. shower of rice
fell out. The passengers smiled
broadly. But even that did not

partner, reninrked audibly : "My
