THE HURON EXPOSITOR DIM= 'MATTERS CASTOR OIL TAKEN WITHOUT TASTING n. Dr. George F. Reiper of Lafayette, Tndiana, sends the Journal of the: American Medical Astociation the fol- lowing valuable tip as to how to take castor Oil without tasting it: "Take a glass of ice water. Pour on the water the dose of the oil, The oil will congeal into a bolus, as it were, which will pass the lips, teeth and tongue as one mass, untested." THANKFUL MOTHERS Once a mother has used Baby's Own. Tablets for her little ones she would use nothing else. The Tab- lets give such results that the mother has nothing but words of /'praise and thankfulness• for thein. Among the :thousands of mothers throughout Canada who praise the Tablets is Mrs. David A. Anderson, New Glas- gow, N. S., ,who writes:—"I have used- Baby's Own Tablets for my children and from my experience 1 -would not be without them. I would urge every other mother to keep a box of the Tablets in the house." "The Tablets are a mild but thorough. laxative which regulate the bowels and sweeten the stortiath; drive out constipation and indikestion; break up colds and simple fevers and make teething easy. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents g box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. GAVE MANY MILLIONS BUT NOT HIS NAME When John D. Rockefeller gives a million dollars or ten million dollars to some charitable or benevolent pur- pose, -newspaper humorists point out that the price of coal oil or gasoline is duh for an advance, in order that the public may have the opportunity .of contributing to the beriefaetion. This is unjust to Mr. Rockefeller; who is one of the most generous gives in history. Nevertheless, the man whe devotes vast sums •to the -public good and keeps the matter a secret is rare indeed. Even if he is not over fond of publicity he does take a normal human satisfaction in being praised, in having the admi- ration. and respect of his fellow- men. Not in recent history has there been ta man who gave so much money under a seal of secrecy as Mr. George Eastman, of Rocheter, ster (be famous kodak maker. The fact has recently been disclosed that Mr. Eastman. is the mysterious "Mr. .Smith," who at one time and an- other has presented to the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology more than $10,000,000. The gifts have been spread.over several years, yet it was only'a few days ago that the secret leaked out. Mr. Eastman may not be the wealthiest of American millionaires, but if the poet is right when he says that all you cantakewith you. when you pass out is what you have given away, he must rank ' very high in- deed. He began with nothing. When he was six years old his wi- dowed mother moved to Rochester, and by her stern. exertions the boy was kept at school until he was fourteen, and then he began to work. Chance took him to a bank, where he toiled eleven hours a day over ledgers at a task in which he has said since it is not impossible for one to be interested. Os hobby was photography, and in his spare hours he wor14gd and experimented, eventually maknag inventions out of which films were developed, and which proved the foundation stone of his fortunes. He did not spare himself, nor did he spare others, for it is related that the men who knew hircij thirty-five years ago con- sidered him a crank and bore and one whose mania on the subject of photography put him almost out of the ranks of the national. In the meantime, he saved his money, knowing that one day he would need it for his own. business. That time came, and he bade adieu to the bank, and began the has;ness which now employs 18,000 rne-n and women. As William C. Chenery points out in the New York Times, only one romantic element is lacking in the story of George East- man's great success. He never was -seriously handicapped for lack of ,capital. To begin he had his own savings, and then when he needed a -few thousand dollars more he found another Rochester man who WaS willing tO back him to that ex- tent. Not long ago this former partner died, leaving aig estate of ahollt $16,000,000, mostly the fruit of the small investment he made thirty years ago.The business grew .bY giant strides. There were new inventions and one a the 'finest ad- vertising campaigns ever carried on. Who is not -familiar with the slogan, "If it isn't an Eastman it, isn't a kodak"? The name kodak, a copy- righted word, entered into the lish language like._ the other copy - righter word,l'vaseline." When other men invented something useful to the seience of photography East- man bought it up, and in the mean- time Eastman's own staff of highly - paid specialists was always at work,11 One of the most interesting things we recal about Mr. Eastman is that in the winter of 1917-18, when war demands produced a coal famine, and many people were without fuel, he shut of the heat in his own. mag- nificent conservatories, and permit- ted his collection of exo0c plants t� perish, rather than weste the coal to keep them alive. We can imagine .that to a lover of beauty like George Eastman, this was a far harder test of =patriotism than would have been the giving of -thousands to a war charity.He was a cheerful sub- scriber to war funds, and gave more than a million dollars to relief. Mr. Eastman lives in what has been described as a ducal palace. He is a bachelor with no near relatives, and thus is freer than most millionaires to dispose of his wealth without any regard to the claims of family. His greatest hobby is music, and his ambition now is to make Rochester a musical centre whose fame will be world wide, and with this end in view, he has, among other things, established the Eastman School of Music at an expenditure of $4,000, 000. This column does not, as a rule, give any breathless attention to the opinions of millionaires on subjects not connected with their money making, but Mr. Eastman is an eai. ceptional millionaire. He says that under modern conditions of industry it is practically impossible •for a workingman to tale a keen interest in his work. It was different in the old days of the handicrafts, when a man made some complete thing, and could take a craftsman's pride in the product. Nowadays he must have some interest outside his daily toil, something to look forward to after his stint is done. In the opinion of - Mr. Eastman music would go far to provide this interest and stimulus. He knows that the music with the greatest 'charm is the musie that one requires some musical education to appre- ciate, and that is why so many of his millions have gone with the ulti- mate end, not of educating musi- cians, but of educating audiences. He is a great lover of music himself, but admits that nothing gives him greater pleasure than a good box- ing match. His regard -for his own employees is shown in the fact that he has already given them _$6,000,- 000 from tthe profits of the business, while his own benefactions araouut to about *27,000,000. A GOOD MEDICINE FOR SPRING USE Harsh Purgatives Should be Avoided—A Tonic Will Re- store Your Energy. Not exactly sick blit not feeling quite well. That is the way thous- ands of people feel in the spring. It is a sign. that the trying indoor life of winter has left its mark upon you. Easily tired, appetite fickle, some- times headaches and a feeling of depression. Pimples or eruptions may appear on the skin, or there may be twinges of rheumatism or neural- gia. Any of these indicate that the blood is out of order, and these symptoms may easily develope into more serious trouble. Do not dose yourself with. purga- tives as so many people do, in the hope that you can put your blood right. Purgatives gallop through the system and weaken instead of giving strength. Any doctor will tell you that this is true. What you need in the spring is a tonic that will build up the blood and nerve. Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills can do this speedily and surely. This medicine enriches the blood, clears the skin, improves the appetite and makes tired, de= pressed men, women and children bright active and strong. As an example of the value of these pills we give the statement of Mrs. S. McBtuatie, Tatarnagouche, N. S., who says:—"I have good reasons to speak in the highest terms of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I was badly run down, failing in weight, and suffering from dizzy spells and weakness. In fact my condition was such that I was hardly able to do my housework. A friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills an after usiag several boxes there was a. noticeable improv- ment. I continued using the pills for some time longer and found that I had fully regained my old time health and strength and was able to do my housework without feeling weak and worn out as I did before I began using the pills." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can be ob- tained from any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or ,SiX boxes for $230 from The 'Dr. 'Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
