She Felt Better After the ' First Box NEW BRUNSWICK LADY IS NOW ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS. .Madame A. Godin suffered with her kidneys and urinary trouble. St. Jeanne D'arc, N. B., June lst.— '(Special)—"Pardon me for not writ- ing to you before about your Dodd's -kidney Pills, but when one enjoys :good,health one is always busy." "Some time ago I was suffering -with my kidneys and weakness of the bladder. I' read in your - Almanac that Dodd's Kidney Pills were good for this trouble and decided to try them." "I had not a great deal of confi- dence in pills because I had tried so many other kinds without good re- sults. To my surprise after I had taken the first box(,.I began to feel 'better. I continued taking them and am now completely relieved of my trouble. I advise all those who suf- fer with their kidneys to use them. It gives me pleasure to tell all my 'friends to use them." This statement, which speaks for itself, is sent to us by Madame A. 'Godin, well-known in this place.

Be- cause they look greedy, we think they are greedy- ,'But ,nlrany( animals not 9ne tentis their size consume , much iniore food. , • Why the bear should have been dub- bed surly is hard to say. Explorers tell us that"bears, with perhaps the exception of the white bear of the north, are really good tempered, do - elle beasts. They are playful- and friendly, and can be tamed very soon if treated kindly. It may, not be a mistake to say that the lion is brave, but he is no more entitled to the adjective than some other animals—rams, foxes and 'wild pigs, to mention but three. Rants are braveness itself .:during the_ breeding season, and it is even dangerous to go near them. The . wild pig knows no fear, will attack a man without hesi- tation, and will not leave a drinking pool because a tiger happens to be there. The weasel has a reputation for be- ing sharp. "You'll never catch a weasel asleep," folks say. But . you can, save at night. The weasel is a lazy little beast all day, lying in a state of partial stupor. Only at night is he really wideawake and alert. AID FOR THE DANGER THEY FACE According to announcement recent- ly made in London, men who do roof work in that city will, in future, re- ceive an extra payment of from one penny to threepence (from two to six cents) an hour, according to the height from the street at which they -work. This payment, which has long been :usual in the North of England, ap- plies to work done where no scaffold- ing is provided, and to men working upon any outside roof with guttering less than. a foot wide. The equivalent of height money is paid .in the United States to the men who work at bridge -building. The risks which the bridge builder takes can be gathered from the fact that the Quebec br'i'dge cost ninety-seven lives, and the Blackwell's Island Bridge sixty. xr a10.

THE ONE SURE WAY TO GOOD HEALTH Pure Is Seeping the' Blood by Using Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. Impure, weak blood is the cause of _ pus, most of the troubles that afflict peo- ple. This is the, cause of the wretch- ed feeling of langour and faintness, pains in the back and side, headaches and breathlessness that afflict women and make her daily life a torture. To get new health ,and strength the blood must be enriched. What Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do in cases of this kind is told by Mrs. Augusta Emery', Wool - ford Station, Alta., who says:—"Liv- ing en the prairie, and knowing that there are thousands of women like myself miles away from a doctor, I want to tell them what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done for me. After my first baby was born I seemed to have little energy. I felt weary and run-down and unable' to do even the ordinary household duties. I felt I needed a tonic and aa'I had long seen Dr. " Williams' Pink Pills advertised I decided to -try them. - I got a supply and easefully followed the directions and before very long the result was wonderful. Day by day I regained my former strength and energy. The pills seemed to give me a keen appe- tite and I gained in weight and soon was able not only to do my work about the house but to help with many chores on the farm. For this reason I would advise women, particularly those on the prairie or the farm, to keep a\s'npply of these pills always on hand. One trial will convince you of their worth. I have recommended them to many of - my friends and never have they failed to produce good results." You can get these pills from your druggist, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. GARDENS ON OCEAN LINERS In the great Atlantic liners, which cross and re -cross the ocean with the regularity and punctuality of long- distance express trains, there are gardens as lovely as can be found anywhere on land. It is true that their area is far more circumscribed, but the blooms are every whit as glowing and as fresh as the displays which charm the eye at Kew, says an English writer. When at sea the eye craves relief from the monotony of the long ex- panse of water, and this is particular- ly the case with those travellers who are not good sailors. In the Cunarder Mauretania flowers are used not only for table decora- tion, but to brighten the great stair case which connects the upper and lower decks. Tastefully arranged,the effect of creepers, blooms and ferns is a never -failing tonic to the invalids among the passengers, and even those who find the tumbling waters of the Atlantic an appetiser before meals will tell you that the garden -in -minia- ture is a real joy. But the chief care of the garden is the flower bedecked lounge—it is more like a roof-garden—which is situated aft. Here almost every flow- er that can be found ashore—with an abundance of roses—is to he seen, arty a morning spent in this oasis is cal- culated to charm away the most per- sistent "sea headache."

HARM IN TOO MUCH SLEEP That too much sleep diminishes the nervous energy and degenerates the small arteries is the opinion of Vaug- han Dryden, who writes as follows in a London paper: Persistent opponents of summer time are never tired'of asserting that it "deprives people of their natural sleep." This is all very well;' but no- body yet has defined when we ought to sleep and how many hours. Many people sleep far too much; and it is a well known scientific fact that ex- cessive sleep diminishes the nervous energy and degenerates the small arteries and capillaries of the brain. Sleepiness is generally a sign of mental lethargy; neither Sancho Pan- za nor the Fat Boy in "Pickwick," outstanding examples of doughty sleepers, were noticeably brilliant. Sir John Sinclair roundly declares that too much sleep "blunts and destroys the senses, and renders both the body and mind unfit for action." Sir Her- man Weber, the author of "Longevi- ty and the Prolongation of Life," blames the habit of sleepipg more than eight hours for the premature decay of mental faculties. Many men of active brain are satis- fied with little sleep. John Wesley was up at four o'clock every morn- ing. Immanuel Kant slept very lit- tle, remarking that much sleep ex- hausts the energy and shortens life. The latter conclusion is borne out by the fact that many long-lived people spent but a short space of their time in bed. Sir Julius Benedict slept only four hours a night, and lived to be eighty- one. Sir Henry Thompson, who liv- ed to be eighty years old, was a busy physician who saw patients all day and attended social gatherings every night. Yet he found the time to write several large books on medical subjects, and he did this by being in his study at six every morning. Eminent barristers like Lord Read- ing and Lord Birkenhead were enter- taining nte - taining or being entertained socially every night. Yet they would rise at 4 or 5 in the morning and do several hours' work on their briefs before going into court at 10.

In the latter respect there .is hope that they may lighten the taxpayers' burden by doing the work of. surface craft at less expense. Along that great 10,000 miles route of ours front London through to Aus- tralia there is wonderful scope for super -airships if only they can oper- ate reliably and safely on a regular commercial service.. So far as one can see at present'. the very fast, moderate -range ntaehipe is the aero- plane and the ' veer ;long-range ma- chine the big airship,' The two types do not complete with each other. They are capable of different work. The attitude we should assume to- day is that so far .no large rigid -type airship has been produced which shows the full capabilities of this type of craft. Until su'c'h a machine does exist, and has been 'tested fully, we should withhold our -judgment. Cer- tainly we should not judge airships by the fate of wer-time vessels now obsolete or by the vicissitudes of an out-of-date craft like R 33. It may be that huge airships, even when they are really tried out pro- perly, will not come.up to expectations commercially. No one can say de- finitely to -day. But Britain, with so much to gain from an acceleration of Empire `transport, seems well justi- fied in carrying out=e conclusive ser- ies of experiments. awl fret a gale a sbpati<. . eeiened wad no commercial uld not have rice again save yhich to make sertments. The moored is not There is a vital point we must re- mernher when we compare airships with aeroplanes, writes Harry Harper in a London paper. The airship as a transport vehicle is still in its earliest infancy. It is very much less developed than the aeroplane. Soon we shall have had six years' experience in using aero- planes commercially. But, save for certain pioneer wybrk by Germany, we are still without experience in running airship lines on a regular commercial basis. What is happening to -day is that aql pre-war and war -time knowledge HISTORIC HOIIE OF THE ALII,IONY CLU 1; Ludlow Street Jail, the oldest coun- ty jail in New York City and one of the nwst celebrated in the country, is about to pass into the hands of the Board of Education. The city has found itsupkeep tero'Vi pensive. Not for a lgng time have its fifty-two rooms been occupied at the same time. Recently it was found that only two were in use. Moreover, changes in the laws have deprived Ludlow Street Jail, of its peculiar character. It is no longer permitted to discharge its early function when it Vs'as known as the Alimony Club. Being a civil jail, that is to say being the temporary place of custody of gen- tlemen who had failed- to satisfy certain orders of the court, it was free from the criminal riff raff, al- though some notable criminals were guests there at different times. Harry Thaw was a sojourner for a time. "Boss" Tweed lived there for awhile. It was from .this pail that he made his escape to ',Spain. He was uncaught for two years and then was brought back to the jail, Where he died in 1878. "Boss" Tweed was perhaps the most notor- iour grafter in the history of New York City. An illustrious lodger recently was Gen. Gregory Seminoff who waged picturesque but ineffectual war against the Bolshevists. He was de- tained in Ludlow while the courts decided what they would do about his alleged seizure of $500,000 worth of goods while leading the anti - Bolshevik army. Theodore Roberts, well known to movie fans, stayed for six months at the Ludlow in 1912, and by doing so freed himself from certain post matrimonial obligations- Conway Tearle, another screen hero, was a guest at the Lud- low and so were Fuller and McGee and Nicky Arnstein, accused of large swindles. But the jail was not cele- brated for the illustrious guests it has entertained. Nearly every jail of any considerable age has held cele- brities either justly or unjustly. Lud- low was noted for the high average of culture and social position of its customers. Lawyers, merchants, bankers, writers, were always to be found there when times were good. They formed a pleasant brotherhood, and their conversation and manners were as good as wore to be found in any New York club. Thirty years ago the jail was ar. the height of its glory. Most of its rooms were then occupied. T h e conversation was brilliant. No re- strictions were placed upon the guests beyond forbidding them to leave the place. They could order their meals in from the most fash- ionable hotels. They were permit- ted all the liquor and tobacco the:; desired. They gave each other charming little dinners, and after dinner perhaps would have the plea- sure of being entertained by some theatrical people. for as a rule there was always some well known thea- trical person tarrying there. No longer are such privileges permitted the prisoners, for as prisoners they have )lately oome to regard them- selves. They must eat the meals the jail cook provides, or go without. They !are 110 longer free to have `,,•.. '',�. • r li ^"TMS _ _.. , ii STORIL 0 v. Ec r i. 1 k a ; y y j} �3p3 �j S' .,.../ �{e ""W ST ` .. - `A 1 t .�'y 1 ' )4..-. i , ' ..

Most of the inmates in the old days were gentleanen separated from their wives and in arrears in the matter of alimony. Sometimes the did not have the money to meet the exactness of the former wife. Sometimes they refused to pay as a matter of principle. Many of them had a nice point of honor, and chose to be imprisoned, rather that than obey what they regarded as the un- just orders of the court. In the old days they could be detained for six months. At the end of that time they were free of the debt for which they had been committed, or at Ieast they could not be twice im- prisoned for the same offence. Many of them considered that a stay of six months in the jail was a cheap price for their subsequent freedom. Now- adays the laws are different. They can be imprisoned and discharged and later imprisoned again if they do"" not"' obey court orders. Ludlow Street Jail is no longer the haven of refuge it once was. One does not meet gentlemen there, but the hoi- polite. Really there is no more in- centive to a gentleman to fall in ar- rears in his alimony. In the ' old days Ludlow jail was a joy to the humorists whose incur- able tendency was to view matri- monial difficulties in a comic spirit. Bill Nye wrote a book, and we ra- ther think it was his last book, about the place. He called it "A Guest At the Ludlow," and it dealt with the experiences of "Boss" Tweed. Space writers always found the place good for an illustrated page in the Sun- day editions. Many a time did they broadcast the bright things that were said by the sprightly inmates. Many were the cuts of the old check- er boards carved at either end on a long oak table upon which were held the tournaments of the inmates- There was also a little enclosed yard where the gentlemen could take • the iii a. air of an evening: and sniff at the . lilac trees when they were in bloom. A writer in the New 'York Herald Tribune says that a bit of the old: spirit still lingers. Warden Kane, .a gentle, kindly man, is perhaps,,. re- sponsible. • To the occeeional inmate who still regards the ,amenities care fully, he seems • more a, itraeious ;host than a jailer,and he has in his pos- session missives written by some of them after -they have been released which sound for all the world like the bread-and-butter letters of guests who have , just completed a somewhat quiet but rather enjoyable visit. And fregrrentiy . in the dining hall, which an oilcloth covered table and peeling walls have robbed of much of its semblance of grandees, he can . be seen chatting with one or two of his charges. Their talk is of philosophy , and law, politica, religion and Schopenhauer, and the ghosts of the intelligentsia flitting about the corridors listen and logit on wit approval.
