Frequently the after ,effects °of ill-
'sees axe more 'serious than the ori-
ginal trouble. This was the case
with Mrs: James B, Moir, Mutana,
Sask. Mrs. Moir says; "Some
years ago, while we were still living
in Nova Scotia, I was tats en^ down
with a severe attack of pneumonia.
I had sufficiently recovered to be
around, bod Iliad not bee•ii able to
go out when I was 'attacked with
diphtheria. In my weakened (state
it took a terrible hold on me, and
neither my friends nor neighbors
thought I would recover. I did,
however, pull through, but was a
physical 'wreck. The muscles of my
throat were paralyzed, iso that .even
a cup of water would flow back
through my nostrils unless they
were held closed. My voioe was
almost inaudible, and my eyes Esc
badly effected that I ;feared I wars
going to (loose my eyesight. I could
only walk with assistance, and it
looked as though I would be a
helpless cripple. Medicine was used
but did not help me. Then a neigh
bor advised Dr. Williams' . Pink
Pills. I began taking them but
had the utmost difficulty in Iswa1-
lowing them owing to the condition
of my throat. However, after a
couple of boxes had been used I
found it easier totake them.,gwhichh
was a sign they were hedpen me
and I felt greatly cheered. I do
not know how Many boxes I took,
but I continued their use until I
was as weal as aver, much to the
surprise of ;all who knew nee, as all
thought I ,00uld not get better..
Since then I have several times
taken the Pills when run down,
and have always been greatly bene-
fitted by therm."
For the after ,effects of fevers and.
all wasting diseases there is no

Pink Pills. They enrich the blood,

Few general classes of bonds of-
fer such a wide range of choice as
the railroad bared. This kind of in-
vestment offers 'a greatvariety of
bonds, ranging from the strictly
'staid ana sober .prior lien or iirsb
mortgage bond to the third and
fourth general debenture issue; and
short-term notes ranking either.

of the mortgages, or as a secondary.
lien after all the others have been
looked after. II the investor wants
absolute security for his money to-
gether with a steady rate of inter-
est, he canget this in a certain
type of railway bond : or if the ape-
oulator wants to take a .little flier
in something whish has a great
many elements of safety lacking in
shares, and yet has sufficient price
variation to net a decent profit on
the turn, he will find his desires ful-
filled by yet another type of rail-
road bond. And Iso it is all the n
down the line; practically every re-
quirement of the average investor
will be found to. be fulfilled by
some one ofthe numerous kinds of
railway mortgage securities.
The Straight Mortgage.
Probably the best known repre
sentative •orf this large class, is the
ordinary railroad mortgage 'bond
This is an obligation of a railroad
company, which runs for a certain
length of time at a certain definite
rate of interest, and is usually se-

property. In the ease of the first
mortgage bonds, they,- are secured'
by a mortgage against all or the
greater part of the company's pro-
perty; while in the case of the
other subsequent issues of bonds
they may the secured by separate
properties or as second or third
mortgages on the same property.
The short-term notes may be secur-
ed in either of these two ways, or a
certain amount of treasury stock
may be set aside as special security,
in addition to the general deed of
hypothec against the property it-
self.
There is still another type of
railroad bonds known as equipment
trust certificates,whioh are special-
ly secured i y: the equipment they
are issued to purchase. .These are
usually amortization bonds and are
redeemable serially. They are dif-
ferent from the ordinary railroad
mortgage bond in that their secur-
ity is rolling stook and not fixed
assets.
The Best Kind of Security.

aramount consideration, it would

ig railways of the- United States
red Canada. It has been the cus•
tom of most railway builders on
his continent when building new
ines to issue ,bonds for so much per
nile of line, securing the bonds by
mortgage against the . property
n either side of the right-of-way,;
s well as upon the actual: railway
ine itself. Usually a. good deal
ore money has been needed eo
uild the railway than is represent -
d by the bond issue, and this ad
ibional money is often raised by
the ,sale of stock . and secondary
cads, all of whish increase the se-
urity behind the first mortgage
ends. These latter are the safest

ery building of the railroad has

When. is Security Sufficient?
There are various `tests ` to apply
to railroad bonds to' ascertain the
amount of security behind them,
and as to whether they are or are
not an -. •absolutely safe investment.
Examination of the trust deed will
show. the nature of a mortgage; bub
the investor need not bother much
albo,ut this as the bond house will
give him all the necessary informa-
tion. The total market value ' of

value are, however, important fact-
ors. These can be arrived at only
by Careful consideration of all the
securities outstanding and their
selling price in the open market.
The bonds should be covered twice

Then there is the earnings feat-
ure of the case. It is essential that
the railroad be operating at a good
profit. Bond'in.terest must be earn-
ed and well earned. Further, be-.

allowance being set aside for re-
placements and renewals.
The issue of subsequent wort -
gages is a good thing for the prior
lien holders. It shows that others
have confidence in. the property,
and moreover ib pro'vide.s a buyer
for the road should it fail to meet
expenses; for the second and subse-
ugent mortgagors must buy in the.
road at a sumo equal to the first
mortgage or lose their money.
Why They Are a Good Buy.
Many Canadian and American
railroad bonds are an unusually
good buy at the present time. The
security behind the issues of the
more prominent companies is of the,
best; and particularly in the case of
Canadian railroads largely financed
through sale of stock. is the market
value of the roads greatly in excess
of the bonded indebtedness. For
various reasons railroad bonds
have kept down below normal
values and appear cheap compared
with some other investment secur-
ities. Their extremely wide range
of offerings, together with general
stability of 1price make them an. at-
tractive buy. As some of these
bonds are quite speculative in na-
ture, however, the counsel of •a,
thoroughly reliable bond dealer' is
advised where safe investment is
the first consideration.
Death Nearly Claimed
New Brunswick Ludy
Was Restored to Her Anxious Fam-
ily When Hope Had Gone.
St. John, N.B., Dec. 15th.—At one
time it was feared that Mrs. J. Grant,
of 3 White St. would succumb to the
deadly ravages of advanced kidney
trouble. "My first attacks of back-
ache and kidney trouble began years
ago. For six years that dull gnawing
pain has been present. When I ex-
erted myself it was terribly intensified.
If I caught cold the pain was unen-
durable. I
used most everything,
but
nothing gave that certain grateful re-
lief' that came from Dr. Hamilton's
Pills of Mandrake and Butternut. In-
stead of being bowed down Ivith pain,
to -day I am strong, enjoy splendid
appetite,
sleep soundly Lost proper-
ties have been instilled into my blood
—oheeks are rosy with color, and I
thank that day that I heard of so grand
a medicine as Dr. Ilamilton's Pills."
Every woman should use these pills
regularly because good health pays,
and it's good vigorous health that
ccnies to all who use Dr. Hamilton's
Mandrake and Butternut Pills.

Ont of Long Experience.
Barristers should always be re-
spectful to the court and accept
decisions' with good humor, says
Dr. Blake Odgers, who illustrates
the proper attitude of the profes-
sion in the Yorkshire Post.
A young barrister who held dif-
ferent views from the court re-
marked on one 000asion that he was
surprised to hear the judge make a
certain statement, whereupon the
leading counsel apologized for his
junior on the: grounds of his youth.
"When he is as old as I am, any
lord," lie saed deferentially, "he
will never be surprised at anything
your lordship says'or does.."

Thousands of Miles of Wire Used
in Putting Entanglements in
Front of Trenches..
The New York Sun's 'Correspon-
dent with the Foreign Legion,
writes the following inttereslting• ac-
count of life at the front
"I have been trying to figure out
'how much wire hall: been used for
entanglements along the whole
western front. It certainly may be
averaged at ten times the le,neeth
of the trenchers, and three times as
much for the ,criss-crossing; so that
if the whole front is put at 500
miles (and it is probably nearly
600), it would mean 15,000 miles:
There are from three to eight lines
of defence. Taking five as an aver-
age, we have 775,000 miles, and if
the Germans use. as much, it means
]50,000 .miles of wire. ' The stakes
used for supporting the wire are
about as far apart as they are high.
"The number of tr•ee,s used up is
enormous, for not only must these
stakes be found but beams for
trendies, shelters and firers. Our
section '(riow, ally 60 men, general-
ly ten below that number) uses
about two trees a day for the kit-
chen. At first trees were, out down
without any care, but now we have
capable foresters with us to direct
the cutting.
"Some of the things about the
war that would not occur to the
ordinary thinker are that there are
thousands of men on the firing line
who have been 'there for months
and never fired a shot or seen an
enemy.°
Wartime Dentistry.
"We have skilled dentists to look
after our teeth. As regards tooth-
pulling, there is no trouble; it *can
be done at any time, as in every
army, but Iskilled'treatment has to
be arranged for.
"We have six days on the firing
line, six days rest fat Cuiry-les-
Ohauclardes (in' the rear), then six
days in the reserve (trenches, six
days more rent at Cuiry again,
then the same all over again:. When
at rest, we have practically a bar-
racks life. We have to stay in the
village and eannot go , to flue next
village or town (only half a mile
and a mile away), without permis-
sion.
"We do 'exercise -drilling and
manoeuvres—just se in barracks.
This was not so at the beeinning,
when we had to make defences.
The last time I was on the reserve
lines all ' I had to do was one hour's
work in getting raltion•s for the sac-
bion and tivo hours guard duty, the
rest of the timeI could sit in the
sun and write. ee
"There i e vs no drill in the reserve
trenches, and only one section on
guard for the whole company. On
the firing line every one is on
guard. In both these trenohe,s there
is danger of being Istbelled, so that
one is always under a great ten
scion. a
"At Cuiry-les-Chaudardes• we are
not absolutely slate, as it is not out
of range.. The enemy, shelled Chau-
dardes; the next village, half a mile
away, three days ago, and killed
and wounded 117. They have con-
tinued slreiling since, but I have
not heard the result.
Too Much (Lice.
"We get so much food that there
is a terrible amount of waste. I
have seen pounds of .sweat thrown
away in our section ;alone, because
men did not need it. And breads
good bread, almost white, is wasted
wifollesale. Each man gets two
pounds a day and few of us eat
more than one, the rest is wasted
except for a small portion that c,an
bo put in soup.
"Rice is served out almost every
day, ,and no one ever touches it.
"Every man has received at least
one pair of ,shoes a month. We do
not have to worry- about food, the
kitchen sees to that. A little work
now and then, getting wood for the
kitchen, or improving the big
trenches between the lines is wel-
comed. Sometimes we have some
target shooting, really, Most enjoy-
able."
Very liduch. Alike.
