'WINTER WEATHER r' HARD ON LITTLE ONFiS Our 'Canadian winters are exoeed- iigly hard ea the health of little ones. The weather is often, So severe that the mother cannot take the little ones ;stint for hn airing. The consequence is that baby is confined to overheated, badly ventilated rooms; takes cold mod becomes cross and peevish. Baby's' Own Tablets should be given to keep the little ones healthy. They are a mild laxative which regulate , the stomach and bowels and thus prevent colds.

WHY THE KETTLE WON'T BURN YOU Why can you put your finger on the bottom of a steaming teakettle without being burned? is a question sent to Popular Science Monthly, which answers as follows: Because the heat of the fire has been transferred from the kettle to the water which is boiling and form- ing steam. It is for the same reason that kettles with soldered bottoms, and containing water, can be safely placed over a fire. The greed of the water for the heat carries it away so rapidly that the temperature of the metal is unable to rise high enough to melt the solder. His Rheumatism Gone He /dr.

Thus, though'tub- ereuloeis is not, strictly speaking, hereditary, "heredity playa a large part in transforming infection into disease," Although much has been done to conquer tuberculosis, it is not yet de- feated. Among the 3,760,101 men examined for the military draft there were "888,241 either actually tuber- culous, suspected of tuberculosis or by reason of their physical defecte predisposed W , the disease." Aad 1'we lose In this country about 60,000 children annually from tuberculosis." Dr. Knopf suggested some remedies for this appalling prevalence of the great white plague in spite of all that has been done to abolish it. He would help the delicate children to combat actual or expected infection by placing_ them in recreation cen- tres, open air schools, peeks, kinder- gartens, give them more out -door calisthenics and breathing lessens, open more sanatoria for expectant mothers, oblige those about to marry to undergo strict physical examina- tions and, if tuberculous symptoms be found, make them undergo such treatment as will fit them to bear strong, healthy children; he would advise less frequent pregnancies and he advocates birth -control, in which last recommendation the majority of physicians is not likely to agree with pee predisposed to be. una'fight At one Center of Callers Row, neat Islington Gown, /Airmen, England. was formerly a taxers, known b;F the sigu',gf the Duke's Head; whicb towards the middle of the.@lghteenth centers was kept by Thomas Top - hare, better known, pethape, as "the Strong man," of whose herculean (eats- many wonderful tales bave been related. The father of Topham, who was it carpenter, brought him up to the eaztte trade, but it appears that he quitted it soon after his apprentice- ship. When he had attained his full growth his. stature wag about five Leet ten Inches, and dgon he began to feel indications of superior mus- cular power. The first public exklbitlon of his extraordinary strength was that of ,,pulling against a horse, lying on his back, and placing his feet against the dwarf 'wall that divided. Upper from Lower Moorfields. Afterwards he pulled against two horses; but his legs .being placed. horizentaalY. Instead of parallel •to the Voices of the horses, he was jerked from Ms position. • it was the opinion of Dr. Desagu- Ilors, a great mechanic and expert- mentel philosopher, that had lie been In a proper position, he might have kept Ms situation against the pulling of four horses without the least Inconvenience. The following are feats which Dr. Desageliers said he saw Topkam perform: By the strength of bis lingers be ' rolled up a very strong and large pewter disk. Among the-quaidsitiea of the British Mueeur, some years ago, was a pewter dish • Marked on the back, "John Innocent, at the Miter Tavern, Fleet Street," and near the edge, "April 9. 1737. Thomas Topham, of London, carpen- ter, rolled up this dish (made of the hardest pewter) by the strength of is hands, In the presence of Dr. Mirage -Hers." He broke seven or eight pieces of i a tobacco pipe by the force of Ms middle finger, having laid them on his first and third lagers. Having thrust the bowl of a strong tobacco pipe under hie garter, his legs being bent, he broke it to pieces by the tendons of his hams, without alter- ing the position of his legs. Another bowl of this kind hg hreke between his first and second fingers by press- ing them together sideways: It is probable that Topham kept the Duke's Head in Islington at the time he exhibited the exploit of lift- ing three hogsheads of water, weigh - Ing 1,831 pounds, in Cold Bath Fields on May 28, 1741. A number of curious and whimsi- cal pranks are related of this man of strength. On his way home one night, finding a watchman fast asleep in his box, he took both on his shoul- ders and, carrying the load with the greatest ease, dropped the guardian of the night and his wooden tene- ment over the wall of Buniill Fields burying ground. On another occasion, thinking to enjoy a little sport at the expense of some bricklayers by removing part' of the scaffolding from a small build- ing, his grasp was so tremendous that a part of the front wall followed the timber. The brieklaye'rs imag- inod that an earthquake was in pro- gress, .and immediately ran, without looking behind them, into an adjoin- ing field. During the progress of a foot race a fellow with a horse and cart would persist in keeping close to the con- tending parties, much to the annoy- ance of the spectators in general. 'Popham, who was one of them, step- ping into the road, seized the tail of the cart and, in spite of the driv- er's exertions in whipping his horse to get forward, he drew them both backwards with the greatest ease. PLENTY OF WATER The failure to supply cows with plenty of water is responsible for many a poor milk yield. Milk is largely water, regardless of all the pleasantries that have centered about Rejoices the dairyman's pump. A cow must have water in sufficient quantity to produce milk just as a steam engine must have water with which to make steam. It is shortsighted dairy econ- omy which skimps on one of the least expensive of the many essentials that contribute to the making of milk through .processes that centre in the bovine anatomy. A western dairy- rnan, whose pump got out of order, was unable to supply drinking water in the stanchion cups in his stable for about a week. Milk production from his herd fell off 3,700 pounds, repre- senting a loss of over $10Q. Another dairyman, whose equipment did not include stanchion cups, tried the ex- periment of giving his cows an extra drink of water while they were in the barn. In five days his cows were making six cans of milk daily instead of five, The extra labor was well spent and showed a handsome profit. High producing cows in particular need a great deal of water. Experi- ments have shown that for each 100 pounds of milk produced some cows will Donsume from twice to almost three times this weight of water. 'Saskatchewan Man Who Suffered For Two Years Gives the Reason Why He Recommends Dodd's Kid- ney Pills. Stoney Lake, Sask., January 30th. (SSpecial.)—"I suffered for two years -from rheumatism but I am glad to tell you I am well again." In these words Mr. 'Mike Karaim, a respected ' resident of this place gives the reason why he recommends Dodd's Kidney Pills to all his friends. "I spent a lot of money on other medicine before I tried Dodd's Kid- ney Pills." Mr. Karaim continued. "I only used two boxes of them and now I feel fine." Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid in the blood The natural way to treat it is to strengthen the kidneys se they will do their full work and strain all the uric acid out of the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills make strong healthy kidneys. Dodd's Kidney Pills have been in use in Canada for more than a quarter of a century. They have grown in- popularity year by year because of the work they have done. Ask your neighbors about Dedd's Kidney Pills. NO MORE CLAY PIPES "The last kiln for making tobacco clay' pipes at Bristol, England, was lighted on Friday in the presence of representatives of three generations of the firm of George & Co.—grand- father, son and grandson—prepara- tory to closing down. on Monday af- ter an existence of 200 years," says the Bath Chronicle in a recent issue. "Wooden pipes and the greatly ir4 creased cost of- clay have killed the clay 'pipe industry. "Many years ago quanutities of Bristol clap pipes were exported to Africa and bartered for ivory and other articles of value. "At that period clay pipe making was a considerable igdustry at Bris- tol. There were fourteen manufac- turers employing men in one parish. "One after another these firms have dropped out, and Messrs. George and Co. is believed to be the oldest house in England, if not in the world." Selfish folk are never sufficiently so to keep their troubles to them- selves.—Owen Sound Sun -Times.

Every woman --every girl—wants rosy cheeks. They mean not only beauty but good health. When a woman's blood is scanty or anaemic her color fades, she looks debilitated, is short of breath and her heart palpi- tates after slight exertion. Some- times this trouble is accompanied by severe headaches, or pains in the back or side's, This condition is entirely due to weak, watery blood, and can only be cured by making the blood rich, red and pure. For this furpose try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which act directly upon the blood, and in this way .ring new health and strength to weak, ailing people. Mrs. Isaac W, Howell, Petitcodiac, N. B., tells of what Dr. Williams/ Pink Pills did for her as follows: "For some time I had not been feeling well. I bad been gradually growing weaker, and found it constantly growing harder to do my housework. I was very pale and had frequent headaches. I consulted a doctor and • took his medicine for some time, but it did me no good. I found myself grow- ing' weaker, and taking faint and dizzy spells. A friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and al- though I had nearly lost faith in all medigine, I got a supply and began their use. After a time I found they were helping me, and ultimately found that the troubles that had af- flicted me had vanished. I am giv- ing this etatement in the hope that sny exrienoe will be of benefit to ethers • HOW SO MANY CHILDREN CATCH TUBERCULOSIS Why so many tuberculous children are those of tuberculous parents was one of the questions discussed by Dr. S. Adolphus Knopf, of New York, in his address before the International Congress of Eugenics in September and now published in the Medical Re - fiord. A few years ago the obvious answer would have been that the children inherited the tuberculosis from their parents, especially from the mother; but to -day it is well known that only in very rare cases is tuberculosis inherited. Dr. Knopf can find only sixty 81.101, oases report- ed in the last forty years. The reasons he gives are that a tuberculous mother may infect a baby with her mills with her kisses or by putting its nipple or spoon into thole. mouth; that there are seemingly You can et Dr. Williams' Pink (Perfectlyg healthy persons who are really ' tuberculosie carriers;" and Pills. through any dealer ip medicine, that trtberenlotte mother often bear or by mail at 50 tents al box or six babies. widen, bkoit`b flit Witted be- boxes for '$12.60, froth The Dr. '3l - to n birth, are so. iamb that they hams'. lgdifeirte Ca., Brookville, WOMI: These are not sale coats, or old styles, they are high-grade garments of the very best overcoat- ings, well lined and made throughout.

As the work of excavating the site of the Roman fort on the Scar- borough Castle Hill proceeds, evi- dence of mediaeval remains are be- ing brought to light. The level at which the Roman remains exist has not yet been reached, though a trench has just been commenced with the definite object of locating one of the walls of the centre tower. Remains of the mediaeval church are In evi- dence, and from some of the recent finds it appears quite possible that a more modern dweling-house, of which there to no record In any of the local histories, probably stood on the site of the fort after mediaeval times. The finds Include Pieces of old tobacco pipes, and a quantity of pot- tery of various shapes such as it is unlikely would be used In connection with the church. Fragments of stain- ed glass from • the church windows, and also some colored glazed tiles, which probably paved the Interior, have been discovered. Certain foun- dations have been bared which be- long either to the church or the sup- posed house. Recently three coins, two of silver and one of copper, apparently of the fourteenth or fif- teenth century, were found.
