WEE HURON EXPOSITOR DISTRICT MATTERS SUMMER HEAT HARD ON BABY No season of the year is so danger -- -Mus to the life of little ones as is the' summer..The excessive heat throws the little' stomach out ' of order so quickly • that unless prompt aid is at -had the baby may be beyondall human help before the mother realizes lie is ill. Summer is the season when diarrhoea, cholera infantum, dysentry and colic are most preva- lent. Any of these troubles may prove deadly if not promptly treated. 'During the summer mother's best friend is Baby's Own Tablets. They regulate the bowels, sweeten the stomach and keep baby l*althy. The Tablets are sold by,, medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. CINCINNATUS In my wanderings I had the oppor- tunity of talking to people who were noted for their ability to carry on a good conversation. I recall now that the key note of the success of those people in conversing was the interest- ing matter which they put into their talks. Then, too, there was no af- fectation. no seeking for display of -their knowledge, but there was, al- ways present an ease of manner and a simplicity of style. To chat with such people made one feel bright and happy. It made him enthusiastic to do his share of the world's work. The other kind of people -the un- interesting—are met 'with !every- -where. That kind is abundant. And why is it so dull with such folks? 'Well, usually- they "rehash.” If you have put a new roof on your barn, they will say to you, "I see you have put a new roof on your barn." You -reply, "Yes." The answer then is, -"That ought tolast for a long time."' You reply, "Yes, that ought to last for a long time,"- and- secretly you give your horse a touch witla, the. whip' so as. -to be gone. You 'do not like to hear truisms or "rehashing" all the time. Did you ever go to church with a friend, and there the two of you met another friend (some one of means), and this wealthy man told you of som. e new building that was going up? And after the ser- vice did the one with whom you went to church "rehash" all that your wealthy friend ,said? If you ever meet such a erson again, worthy reader, eget him a picture book or something of that nature. The man who monopolizes a conver- sation - is unbearable. I remember a young man—a short, fat fellow he was—who would listen for about a moment to the talk when he entered a room; and having found the topic of conversation, he would • point a bony finger at the group with the words: "I'll tell you." Then, his loud voice would commence the tell- ing. No one ever interrupted that :fellow.. An attempt to do that re- sulted- in louder talk from "bony finger." Finally, whenever he enter- ed a room, the lads would gather cup the "garbage of dissipation (cigarette butts) , and would go away murmur— ing, "Hospitality is a virtue." Once I fell in with a stranger on the train. Usually conversation with strangers is difficult to me; but the person in question could- "knock" an interesting exchange of thoughts out of the most common -place things. 'The windows of the car, the seats, ' the fields, the stations,, and a whole host of other ordinartr things were subjects about which -'he could find something worth saying. I had a pleasant time with that man. Very often agood listener is much appreciated, A young man went to visit a noted scientist. He said hard- ly more than ten sentences during a period of two hours. He "drew the scientist out" however, and the latter told me afterwards that Mr. A. was a "very nice young man, very likeable." So there is a 'good deal more connected with conversation than merely saying. "something." WRAP UP THE ABDOMEN TO PREVENT SEA -SICKNESS Perhaps there is no complaint . for which more different remedies have been suggested than for that dis- tressing malady, sea -sickness. Rut in this particular form of illness what is one man's meat is only too often another's poison. For instance, is some cases a small dose of opium acts like magic, curing at once all that horrible diz- ziness. In others this drug is quite useless. Dr. Dubois, a distinguished French physician, had laid it down that the very b' st preventive is to inhale pure oxygen }:as. The amount he recom- mends is from 30 to 40 pints. Oxy - ;en relieves the strain on the breath - mg 'mechanism; and 'gives the lungs a rest. He has found this treatment excellent if the gas is used before tarting or before the patient begins -n suffer. A treatment which the contribu- 1-er las personally tried and found xtrcniely useful is an eminently s-°Yrr':s ono. Get a flan&el bandage 12 feet long and' about six inches wide, and wind it firmly aroi}nd the whole of the- abdomen. - It seems to steady one's inside! . Some - people wear a similar but lighter bandage wound around the forehead. But perhaps the best preventive of all is to lie down flat before one begins- to- feel "swimmy," and to keep quiet for the first 24 ,bourn at sea. That and fresh air and a little starving work wonders. NEWEST NOTES -OF SCIENCE Deposits -of platinum recently were discovered in Northern Brazil.

HOW 'MUCH PAPER IN YOUR SHOES? • It's rather hard to believe that, half of us are wearing shoes made of part paper, but such is the fact. Author- ities agree that fully half of the shoes being manufactured contain a percentage of paper. This is not only true of the cheap shoes but of so-called "high grade" lines. The use of paper reduces the wearing qualities of the shoes, but it is probable that all -leather shoes made at the same cost would not wear as well. The saving effected by using paper permits the use of bet- ter leather in the parts most exposed to wear. Pressed paper is often used for the upper layers of� the heel, and shel-, lacked fiber is used for box toes and "counters." Another method of sav- ing is to split the- leather inner sole into two, ,and line them with he y canvas. Thus - two innen soles r d made from the leather ordinl arily us- ed for one, at only a slight increase in price over one piece. - A. simple test is usually effective in determining whether or not a shoe is all leather. If paper is used, it is usually in the upper sections of the heel. If the point of a pocket knife is pressed on this part of the shoe, with the width of the blade parallel with the layers, it will -readily sink in if the heel is of paper, but leather 'will resist quite heavy pressure from the knife: If paper is found here, it is good evidence'that it has been used else- where in the shoe. Anotehr test is to bend the counter inward." If it is of leather it will at once spring back into shape, but if paper or fiber is used the counter will remain bent. A similar test can be applied to the toe of the shoe. If the box is pressed in, it is so resilient that it will spring back if of leather, but will remain permanently dented if made of paper. PALLID CHEEKS MEAN ANAEMIA New Health Can be Obtained by. Enriching the Blood Supply. When a girl in her teens becomes peevish, listless and - dull, when noth- ing seems to interest her sand daint- ies do not -tempt her appetite you may be certain that she needs more good- blood than her system is pro- vided - with. Beforelong - her pallid - cheeks, frequent headaches and breathlessness and heart palpitation will confirm that she is anaemic. Many mothers as the result of their own\girlhood experience can prompt- ly detect the early - signs of anaemia and the wise mother does not wait for -the -trouble to develop further, but at puce gives her daughter a course with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills which renew the blood supply and banish anaemia before it has obtain- ed a hold on the system. - - Out of their - experience thousands of mothers know that anaemia is the sure road to - worse ills. They know the difference that good red blood makes in the development of womanly health. Every,- headache, every gasp for breath that follows the slightest exertion by the anaemic girl, every pain she suffers in her -back and linibs - are reproaches if you have not taken the best steps to give your weak 'girl new blood, and the only sure way to do so is through the use of Dr. Wit- Hams' Pink - Pills. New. rich, red blood is infused into. the system by every dose of these pills. From this new rich blood springs goodhealth, an increased ap- petite, new energy, high spirits and perfect womanly development. 'Give your daughter; Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and take them yourself and note how promptly their influence is felt in better health. 'You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail postpaid at 50 cents a box or six box- es for $2.50 frem The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. • NEW SJ'EE RECORDS. Latent Miracles of Atomic Energy !Tits with the the uiet will may hile suits expected appears to 'have yet been made. Yet these results '"beggar imagin- ation and transcend experience." Coal fields and oil wells will become superfluities, and -all conditions of transport will be revolutionized. ?'A motive power ---- enormous, illimit- able, and costing nothing save for such apparatus as may be rpquired--- will be placed at the service of an astonished world." Presumably the chosen mode of movement will be through the air and "there speeds will naturally be. reached exceeding any .'' present thought of possibility, and the prac- tical limitation will be marked -only- -by the point at which swiftness of . m'ovement 'causes combustion. Yet even in this respect finality may be thrust far off, for with boundless energy at command a protecting en- velope of Invisible force may the in- terposed, as in the Raters, between the surrounding air and the vehicles' racing through it." - Mr. Wyatt adds: "Those yeh(else we must oonceive, not as airplanes, which will be as obsolete as pack- horses, but as carriages built for the conveyance of passengers - or of :goods in whatever shape expediency or lux-' ury dictates, with . little reference to economy of size or' weight." Ships huge as the Imperator, carriages small as the humblest motor -car, will alike be able to inhabit the thronged spaces of the air. - - This raises the 'question: "Will. man ever be able himself to navigate, while still wearing the vesture of the flesh, the gulfs intervening between the units of the solar system?" The reply is: "When atomic energy is at last made usable there would seem no valid reason to reject the thought. "Taking the moon's distend as averaging, roughly, 210,000 mles, the passage thither at a speed,= ay, of one mile a second—and we can- not imagine that, under such condi tions, it could be less—'Would not be more than sixty hours. Again, tak- ing, roughly, the distance of - Mars from • us • as averaging 80,000,000 miles, the time needed to cross that distance at the speed named would be a little under one year --about as -long as the period consumed by Clive in his first voyage to India." - Even the awful gulf that yawns between- the earth and the nearest fixed star "might be traversed by wireless telegraphy or -telephony were there on its other side some intelli- gence awake to receive it."e-i Are iscussed. From air quarters come dark h that the world is on the brink Of new that will revolutionize it. At present the air is charged mysterious possibilities, and authori- ties vie with one another in their prophecies of. startling changes. In a remarkable - article in Nineteenth Century Mr. Harold F. Wyatt discusses the boundless pos- sibilities brat will be created when the • human race. has discovered secret' of atomic energy- and harness- ed it to Re -own uses. "At any moment - in some `q laboratory,"rhe -remarks, 'inay be re- vealed a secret of nature which transform all the conditions of man's being, and so visibly divide past from future that -later generations say: 'At this point human history was bisected, and our day began'.'WyattMr. 'Wyatt comments that, `w this. rodigious potentiality is known. to et in matter, no effort to form some general conception of the re - Speed of the Antelopes. . No one ever knew how fast an antelope could run. "Swifter than an antelope" was one of those compari- sons used by poets that- had no stand- ing in sound statistical circles. But Roy Chapman Andrews, the well- known student of natural -history, found this out after a two years' trip in the Mongolian desert, where he chased antelopes in a motor car that was bouncing over sandy wastes at the rate of sixty miles an hour. It was the first time, he said, that science ever had been able to - apply a speedometer to the speed demons of the desert, which have long been famous as the most fleet -footed- crea- tures that grow. "They :ran so fast that w could not see their legs, any more t an you can see the blades- of an electric fan," says Mr. Andrews. "We found they would leg it at sixty miles' an hour for about two miles and then slow down to forty or fifty. We chas- ed an antelope one day for twenty minutes at an average rate of forty miles an hour, and then quit because he -was so darned surprised that any- thing on earth could keep up with him. When we reached him he was squatting flat on the sand waiting, not winded a particle: "The antelope's speed is its only protection from wolves in the open plains, so it can run 'practically from the moment it is born. We found a baby one day that could not have been more than two hours `old. When it saw me it snapped off like a shot. I jumped on a horse and pur- sued. It was a bit wobbly -at first, but ilnally got control of its legs, and I never did overtake, it." China Hats. Ta-jong, the wisest- monarch who ever governed Korea, worked on more ingenious lines than those fol- lowed by its Japanese rules of to -day. When To-jon.g came to the throne ;-dllie'i:; were the most quarrel- some of Oriental races, and the num- ber of deaths caused daily by sudden brawls had reached alarming propor- tions. It was, 'therefore, decreed that no adult male should appear in pub- lic- without a china hat in the shape of an inverted flower pot. Hard fight- ing was impossible in such fragile headgear, the rem.ovaI of which in any public place rendered the culprit liable to a dose of the bastinado for the first offence- and decapitation for the second. Within a brief space brawling ceased almost entirely, and Tb -Jong issued another decree con- gratulating his subjects on their peaceful behaviour, The Koren.ns still wear hats of this shape, 'made of atrav instead of china. in t:Iran Cry s FOR f"LETC11WS TOPi , STEWART'S SELL IT FOR LESS I MAIL OR PHONE YOUR ORDERS I WE PREPAY CARRIAGE eason able Su, ; esti ons at Profitable Prices a Final Clearance of Women's Middys and Outing Skirts 20 per cent off With cotton prices still soaring higher, here , is an exceptional opportunity to provide yourself with a Stylish New Middy -or Sport Skirt at a fraction of the regular price.
