B., a man was fined $100 or three months for the "pocket peddling" of liquor. August showed a decided increase in the Cuctorns returns at St. John, N.B., a gain of more than $90,000 over August last`year. Lorenzo Rennison, of Albert Mines, N.B., committed suicide by cutting his throat. Worry over business troubles led to the act. The Patriotic Fund of Fredericton, N.B., is being spent at the rate of $2,500 a month. There is only enough ieft'for one month more. Lieut. Barry, of the Wireless Gar- rison at Newcastle, N,B„ was shot and badly injured when a revolver in his pocket accidentally exploded. At a meeting held in Fredericton, N.B., Bishop Richardson and other leading citizens came out boldly in a resolution asking for conscription. C. D. Clayton, Marysville, N.S., had his left forearm so badly mangled between the cylinders of a card ma- chine that it rendered amputation of the limb necessary. -Joseph McVay and Sons, of St. Stephen, N.B„ havebeen awarded the contract ofdismantling the Sus- pension Bridge over the Reversible Falls at St. John. At Gagetown, N.B., the Kincaid House, an old landmark, was torn down, after standing for 100 years. In one of the rooms was found an old Bible dating back to 1811. Five cents was all that remained of a money package containing $500, which formed part of the registered contents of the mail bag stolen from the mailroom in the rest house at the Union Depot, Moncton, N.B. At Canterbury Station, N.B., three young men were charged with steal- ing liquor from John Murphy.

W. B. A. Ritchie, K.C., has been appointed chief recruiting officer for the Maritime Provinces with the rank and pay of a lieutenant. He will re - Main in Halifax for three months de- voting himself wholly to the business of stimulating recruiting. At the 62nd annual meeting of the Medical Society of Nova Scotia, held recently, the public were warn- ed that "many patent medicines con- taining large amounts of alcohol are neither foods nor stimulants as ad- vertissed." They also recommended that alcoholic liquors should only be used under advice. Premier Clarke, of New Bruns- wick, received a letter from Prof. T. C. Copeland, of Harvard, containing a contribution to the Patriotic Fund. The letter said the contribution was "for hospital, relief or whatever •will give most aid and comfort to my friends and neighbors of St. Stephen in the field—or families left at home. I wish I could do more. God save them, and England, and the allies." The New Glasgow News says a story has come to light of a German agent who toured Cape Breton some time ago, holding up to the manu- facturers pictures of 'glowing fur- naces and giant industries which he would build with capital at his dis- posal and in this way he secured much valuable information relative to the resources and present industries of Cape Breton. After satisfying himself he "blew away" and was eard tell of no more. It is now stated that he was a German spy. GREATLY DISCOURAGED OVER BABY'S ILLNESS Mrs, Jos, Gaudreau, Notre Dame des Bois, Que., writes: "Last autumn our baby was very sick and we were greatly discouraged. The doeter did not seem able to help him,"and we be- gan using Baby's Own Tablets, which soon made him a fat, healthy child." Thousands of other mothers give. Baby's Own Tablets the 'same praise. The Tablets regulate. the stomach and bowels, break up golds and simple fe- vers, expel worms, cure colic, and make teething easy. They are sold by medicine dealers or 'by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. WOOD AND WATER. Wood Cell Is Composed of Crystals Like Grains of Sugar or Salt. All wood contains more or less wa- ter; even the driest wood known con- tains two or three pounds of water to every hundred pounds of weight. Ab- solutely dry wood is unknown, for the heat needed to obtain it would dis- solve the•wood and convert it into gas and charcoal. An eminent Swiss au- thority on the characteristics of wood believes that a sufficiently powerful microscope, could it be made, would, show that the ultimate wood cell is composed of crystals like grains of sugar or salt, and that thin films of water hold the crystals apart, yet bind them into a 'mass, A good mi- croscope shows the wood cell and re- veals its spiral bandages and its open- ings and .cavities, but no instrument yet made reveals -the ultimate crys- tals that, as many believe, do exist, and that would explain why water cannot be expelled from wood without destroying the wood itself. RAVAGES OF RUST. A Corps of Painters Are Constantly Employed on Forth Bridge. Few people comprehend the extent of purely normal wear and tear. Lon- don Tit -Bits says that one large rail- way system suffers a loss of more than eighteen tons of metal daily, due sole- ly to the effect of rust. Thus far, the only known preventive is to keep the metal surface always covered with a suitable paint. Some idea of the costliness of this remedy, however, may be gained from the fact that it requires about £1,000 annually to paint one large railway bridge alone. A typical case of this kind is •,the Forth Bridge, on which a corps of painters are constantly employed, since the weather makes repainting of one end of this large structure ne- cessary before the workers have reached the other. Although experi- ments have demonstrated that pure iron surrounded by oxygen •does not rust, and that some acid, especially carbonic acid, is necessary for the pro- duction of yust, the .secret of manu- facturing rustlers steel 'and iron re- mains to be discovered. A DOCTOR'S EXPERIENCE Medicine Not Needed In This Case. It is hard to convince some people that tea or coffee does them an injury! They lay their bad feelings to almost every cause but the true .and unsus- pected one. But the doctor knows. His wide experience has proven to him that, to some systems, tea and coffee are in- sidious 'poisons that -undermine the health. Ask him if tea or coffee is a cause of constipation, stomach and nervous troubles. "I have been a coffee drinker all my life, and when taken sick two years ago with 'nervous prostration, the' doctor said that my nervous sys- tem was broken down and that I would have to give up coffee. "I got so weal and shaky I could not work, and reading an advertise- ment of Postum I asked my'grocer if he had any of it. He said, `Yes,' and that he used it in.his family and it was all it claimed to be. "So I Cuit coffee and commenced to use Postum steadily, and in about two weeks I could sleep better and $et up in the morning feeling fresh. In about two months I began to gain flesh. I weighed only 146 pounds when I commenced on Postum and now I weigh 167 and feel better than I did at 20 years of age. "I am working every day and sleep well at night. My two children were coffee drinkers, but they have not drank any since Postum came into the house, and are far more healthy than they were before." Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont. Postum comes in two forms: Postum Cereal—the original form —must be well boiled. 15e and 25c packages. Instant Postum—a soluble powder —dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water, ana, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage instantly. 3'Oc and 50c tins.. Both hinds are equally delicious and cost about the same per cup. "There's a Reason" for Postum. —sold by Grocers. A Long Farewell. Private Doherty was six feet four In his socks; the sergeant was much shorter. The sergeant looked along the line. "Head up there, Dooley!" be cried. Doherty raised his head. "Up higher," said the little sergeant. "There, that's better. Don't let me see your head down again." "Am I to be always like this?" asked Do- herty, staring away above the little sergeant's head. "You are." "Then I'll say good-bye to ye, sergeant, for I'll never see yez, again."

Reports from Winnipeg state that Central Western Canada will have a Federal Highway, if the project; be- ing urged by the Winnipeg Board of Control is carried out. This project contemplates thecon- struction of a concrete highway , from Winnipeg to Calgary, to go thorugh the more thickly settled teitritory tapped by the Canadian . Pacific Rail - The The thousand miles of highway through the provinces of Manitoba,' Saskatchewan, and half way into: Al- bertd, will be financed by the munici- palities through which the roadway would pass. Several appropriations also will be sought from the provin- cial Governments. The project has. been received with the greatest en- thusiasm in a number of the larger cities along the proposed route. It has been pointed out by the pro- moters of the highway plan that the land values of the prairie provinces would be greatly enhanced by the building of a . permanent concrete highway, such as the Lincoln High- way, which has had such a wonderful effect upon the general road building in the United States. lints Quit Aching Soreness Goes Away NO MORE STIFFNESS, .PAIN OR MISERY IN YOUR BACK OR SIDE OR LIMBS! Wonderful "Nerviline" is the Remedy. A marvelous pain reliever. Not • an ordinary liniment—just about five times more powerful, more penetrating, more pain -subduing than any thick, oily or ammonia liniment. Nerviline fairly eats up the pain and stiffness in chronic rheumatic joints, gives quick relief to those throbbing pains, and never burns or even stains the skin. "Rheumatism kept my joints swol- len and sore for ten years. My right knee joint was often too painful to al- low me to walk. In this crippled tor- tured condition I found Nerviline a blessing. Its warm, soothing action brought relief I had given up hoping for. I rubbed on quantities of Nervi- line and improved steadily. i also took Perrozone at mealtime in order to purify and enrich my blood. I am to- day well and can recommend 1437 treatment most conscientiously. •(Signed) Prin e Albert. Not an ache or pain in the muscles or joints that Nerviline won't cure.

Pattern Run Down, Depressed, This Will l Help ! The wear and strain of life has tended in recent years to produce nervous debility in a large percentage of our population. Thousands are af- fected with a feeling they can't . ex- actly describe. They are always tired and droopy, lack ambition, have poor appetite, look pale and suffer from depressing headaches and insomnia. This condition is full of peril. It is. the stepping stone to invalidism, the beginning of a shattered constitution. We advise everyone in this condition to take a good medicine at once and try to get well while yet there is time. Probably no better advice can be given than to use regularly Dr. Hamilton's Pills which have become famous in restoring the sick to good health. A general toning up of the system at once takes place. The whole body is vitalized by richer and purer blood. The appetite is increas- ed, food is digested and naturally strength rapidly increases. Headaches go because the bowels are regulated and all wastes are carried off. There is no experiment about using Dr. Hamilton's Pills because they cer- tainly restore the sick as a trial will quickly prove. Just as good for the old as the young, and suitable to the needs of men, women and children. This grand family medicine should be in every home. JUMPER DRESSES CHARMING. With the advent of the full skirt and loose -fitting garments have de- veloped many good-looking and novel style features, not the least interest- ing and charming of which is, the jumper dress, suitable for afternoon wear. A delightful model is shown herewith in Ladies' Home Journal HOW HE LOST HIS P1511, A Fisherman 11ad An Experience With a Bear, An Easterner was spending his first summer in the West where he had a good ,opportunity to indulge in his favorite sport of trout fishing. One. afternoon he had been unusually sue- cessful, but just as he was setting _• out for camp with a heavy string of fish he caught sight of a great pine that had blown clown, and was lying with its top in the water—just the place for hooking a monster trout. Pushing along to the fallen pine, he climbed upon it by dint of hard scrambling, holding on as best he could with his rod in one hand and his string of fish in the other, The tree was close to the bank, and the stream was running bank full, He was in the midst of the branches, crowding on- ward, when suddenly an immense bear rose up close beside him. There was no hesitation. To run was impossible. On the impulse of the moment the man dashed his string of trout full in the bear's face. In doing so he lost his balance, and the next instant there was a tremendous splash, and he disappeared in the rushing water. The fisherman emerged some dis- tance farther down the stream, and scrambling to the bank, looked back. There on the pine sat the bear, in- tently watching the hole where he had disappeared. He did not go back to inform her that he was not there, but made for camp at good speed. No. 9087. Pattern No. 9087.

The thesis was there, coherent and four square, with the power to hold her own in it. She was obsessed with the idea of a superior caste of mind, to which she and her intellectual, set belonged. With all this she was a moat accom- plished musician, and had filled the Queen's Hall more than once for con- certs given in her own name. "I have a certain hesitation in say- ing all this, because it may seem founded on mere recollections of my reading of prodigies of the past, our own Admirable Crichton or the Con- tinental Pico della Mirandola. As a lad, Crichton is said to have known a dozen languages. I wonder in how many of them he could have deceived the native. Gilbert Hamerton used to say that no more than two can ever be acquired in that perfection. "The peculiarity in this lady's case, as a Russian, was that she was one of many, only less richly endowed.

AURORA WAS FEARED. .Ancients Looked Upon It as Omen of Direful Slaughter. Many people believe that the aurora borealis is a phenomenon peculiar to modern times. But this is not true. The ancients used to call it chasmata, bolides, and tribes, names which ex- pressed the different colors of the lights. The scarlet aurora was looked on by the superstitious barbarians as an omen of direful slaughter; so it is not unusualfor descriptions of bloody battles to contain allusions to northern lights. • In the annals of Cloon-mac- noise it is recorded that in 688 A.D., accompanying a terrible battle be- tween Leinster and Munster, Ireland, a purple aurora Iit the northern skies, foretelling the slaughter. I do not believe that the principle of life have changed in 40 years writes John Williams Streeter.
