Pithy Pointers. 1 town of Pert Hawkesbury, N. is Mtn, William Duff, He has been a member ofi the municipal coattail for 16 years, chairman. of the school board, and held other ryeeponeible positions, Mr, Duff's wordy, therefore, can be taken as cora, ing from a man who has the esteem and respect of his fellow townsmen.. He makes no seoret of the fact that he believes Dr, Williams' Pink Pills saved his life, and that they restored him to goad health, after several medical men had failed to cure hien. Mr, Duff tells of his illness and ogre as follower "About four years ago I was attacked with la grippe, which left me in acon- dition difficult to describe. I was at- tacked with general weakness, and a constant dull path. in the stomach. I betaine so weak that I could not walk a hundred yards without sitting down to rest. The food I ate continually soured on my stomach. My nerves were all gone, and palpitation of the heart and a fluttering sensation all through my chest, especially at night, was almost unbearable. I was finally compelled to go to bed, and called in a doctor, who said my heart was affect- ed, and treated me for that trouble. After three months attendance, and. feeling no better, I called in another doctor. His treatment also failed to help me, and I tried a third doctor. This one said there was nothing wrong with my heart, that the trouble was due to my stomach: Atter treating me for a time he advised that I go to the hospital at FIalifax. On a previous oc- casion, when I had an attack of rheu- matism I had been eured•'by Dr. Wil - lams' Pink Pills, and I decided that rather than go to a hospital I would again try this medicine. I got a supply of the pills and began taking them. In a few weeks I could feel my strength returning, my stomach was giving me less trouble, the palpitation of the heart disappeared, and atter a further use of the pills I felt as well as ever I did in my life. I can truly say that I feel more thankful than words can express for what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done for me." You can get these pills from any dealer in medicine,.eor by mail at 50 cents a box, or six boss for $2.5o, from The Dr. Willie Co, Tack an empty spool on the outside of the screen door, low enough down for the children to reach it when they want to come in.

Seven hundred and seventeen aero- planes were brought down on the Western front during April, says the London Times. The total figures of aeroplane losses in April reveal in a way that the daily official returns do not the unprece- dented intensity of the struggle for mastery in the air which was waged on Western front during that mo'between Allied, and particular- ly. ish, airmen and German airmen. There has not been a month of such fighting since the war began, and the losses have never reached such a tre- mendous figure. This total, which is compiled from the daily communiques issued by Brit ish, French, and German Headquar- ters, is made up as follows: German machines, 369; British, 147; French and Belgian (again, as always, with the necessary qualification that the German claims are trustworthy), 201. Of the 369 German aeroplanes brought down, 269 fell to the British, 98 to the French, and two to the Belgians. Our airmen go daily far back across the German lines, taking thousands, of hetes, engaging the enemy squad - ons, so that they are held back from the line of battle, and dropping tons of explosives upon ammunition dumps, ailbeads, and transport," writes Mr. flip Gibbs in the London Chronicle. p r r Ph Like Knights of Old.

The fate of Russia is still unques- tionably in the balance. What Russia, will ultimately do is still an unknown quantity, and is burdened with por- tents of the most tremendous poten- tiality. Germany's one .and only hope of victory lies in making a separate peace with Russia and it is evident that Germany will never despair of her efforts in that direction. It must be admitted that the Russian peasant had no choice in the making of this war:, and has accordingly shown a they know the risks and the fortun of war.

The British pilot said that several times he felt sure that he would get his adversary between his sights, but the latter invariably wriggled out of the line of fire. The British airman was himself kept busy avoiding the German, and once he had to dive :al- most perpendicularly. The combat did not break off until both pilots had fairly exhausted both themselves and their petrol. Strangely enough, later in the day another British pilot en- countered the same German machine. He was winging his way home after a hard day's work, but jockeyed with the German for nearly a quarter of eees hpur before ii :,b on.

Difference Between Habits of Indian and Canadian in Regard to Forest Clearing. The first shock to a Canadian tra- velling in India is the wooded state of the country, writes H. R. MacMil- lan, former Chief Forester of British Columbia. One expects that hun- dreds of millions of people warring through thousands of years and final- ly under a century of peace crowding agriculturally 300 to 600 to the square mile would have produced a denuded land. Such is not the case—except in the arid Indus valley—the whole land, viewed from a railway carriage, ap- pears forested, and even the Ganges plain with its agricultural half thou- sand to. the square mile is so dotted with trees as to appear at a distance of less than a mile an unbroken wall of forest. The temperament which leaves trees to grow, in groves, rows, and scattered throughout the most valuable fields without even the pro- tection of the fence row, which saves a.. few trees in America, must have been an important factor in leaving any forests for the British to admin- ister in India. The forest area of British India now stands at about 336,000 square miles, or 31.1 per cent. of the total land area. Though the forest cannot all be considered as productive timber land, or even as wooded land, as will be ex- plained later, the proportion of actual forest must to a Westerner appear very large, especially when the age, history and population of the country are considered. Indian Not an Emigrant. The large proportionate area of for- est is explained by three or four con- ditions wherein India differs funda- mentally from American condition®, which act as brakes on forest destruc- tion in India. Recent Canadian experience to the contrary, the Indian is not an emi- grant. The strongest human tendency in Canada and the United States has been to move west along the parallels of latitude and destroy forest. The native North American' . has not wait- ed either for pressure of population or for a market for the timber in the vir- gin Western forests to furnish the stimulus for the Western movement of population. The Indian, the direct an- ithesis of this man, even when the grieuiturai population has reached 00 to the square mile; has not felt mpelled to leave his ancestral paddy eld and move a few hundred miles o another part of his native province ✓ to another province of India, e`en hough bountiful paddy fields have beady been proved there, settled overiunent established and railroads aid down for easy transport. e deliberately allowed a German ma- ik, to get on his tail.

Contains Much Information of Value to the Farmer. The first volume of the Experiment- al Farms Report for the year ending March 31, 1916, contains much inform- ation of value to the farmers of Can- ada. At such a time as this when pro- duction means so much no farmer can afford to overlook such information as An interesting statement appears in the report of the director, which deals with the cost of growing certain crops, as follows: Mangels, $1.116 a ton; en- i silage corn, $1.45 a ton; oats, 19.391 cents a bushel and hay $5 a ton. The system of farming represented in { these experiinents is explained in the report.

The Indian will assuredly cut down the forest bordering his field and . village if allowed, but he will not migrate to attack a new forest area. Nearly every province contains a fair proportion of forest, some of it seem- ingly on good agricultural land and only a hundred miles or so from dis- tricts so densely populated that to use Kipling's description of Canton you feel that if you knocked a corner off a house it would bleed. Other pro- vinces, rich beyond dreams, in the capacity for growth of myriad crops, such as Assam and Burma, lying in the direct line between the hordes of China and the swarms of India to this day cry aloud for population and all through the past have suffered little or no forest destruction. A large proportion of the forest wealth of India is in these two pro- vinces. If they are omitted the forest in India sinks to 21 per cent. of the land area. One should be per- mitted to dream a moment what would be the situation in North America to -day if we had possessed only a little of the Indian's charac- teristics of pausing to make each acre fertile before passing on to denude another. We should have been still somewhere East of the Appalachians and the beaver would net yet have been driven out of Canadian rivers to take refuge in the folds of the flag.
