For this purpose, as long as the condition of the sell permits and_there I e little 'or no snow, use the manure - spreader (into which the manure from the carrter has been directly dumped) and distribute at once.

MARLA:TT iS‘CO St MARIO St, TORNIO On DISEASE COMES THROUGH THE 61000 To Cure "Common Ailments the Blood Must be Made 'Rich and Red. Neaely all the conamon diseases that afflict mankind are caused by bad blood -weak, watery blood poisoned by iinpurities. Bad blood is the cause of headaches and backaches, lumbrego end rheumatism, debility and indige,s- tion, neuralgia, sciatica and other nerve troubles. It is bad blood that causes disfiguring skin diseases like eczema, and salt rheum, pimples and eruptions. The zeverity of the trouble Indicates hoar impure the blood is, awl It goes always from bad to worse ten - less eteps are promptly taken to enrich and purify the blood. There Is no use trying a different medicine for each disease,' for they all come through the one trouble -bad bleed. To cure any of these tronbles you must get right down to the root a the trouble in the blood. That is just 'what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do. They make new, rich, red blood, - They simply purify and enrich the bleed, and the dieease disappears. That is Why Dr. Williams' Pink „Pills have cured thousands of cases after other medicines had failed. Here is proof of the power of Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills to our. Mrs. M. Stills, who resides near the town of Napanee says: "I cannot praise Dr. Williams' Pink Pills too highly. I was very much run down in health, suffered from fre- quent epells of indigestion, Milieus- ness and sick heedache. I had an almost constant pain in my head and my housework was a course of dread. In fact I felt so miserable that life held but little enjoyment. I was ad- vised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which I did, and the result was einanlY marvellous, and can best be summed up by saying that they made me feel like a new woman, and fully restored my health. I would advise every wo- man _and girl who has poor blood, or is run ,down in, health to give these wonderful pills a trial. I am never without them in the house." At the first sign that the blood is out of order take Dr. Williams' Plek Pills, and note the speedy- improve- ment they make in,the appettteelmalth and spirits. You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr, Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. WHAT IS THE GAME?

Color and Structural Changes Noted in African Lions, Lions which have passed their lives in the shelter and confinement of a zoological park become redleally dif- ferent beth In external appearance and in the 'shape of the skull, froni their brothers roaming free in the the wilds of Africa, says Mr. Hollister, superintendent of the National Zoos logical park under the direction of the Smithsonian institution, in a re- cent publication of the United States National museum. Mr. Hollister drew this conelusion after examining fifty- nine specimens of fells leo massalca, 'it sub -species of lion from East Afri- ea, preserved In the National museum', fifty-four of which had been Wilde killed and five of which had died iti captivity at the National Zoological park. These were captured near Nair- obi, British East Africa, and compar- Nous of eking taut ku11 Weird Made With /Specimens of equal age, killed In the same vicinity. All thence of error from the use of park animals of unknown origin, which might be .erosset of different sub -species bred in captivity, or specimente of wild forma not represented in the museum collections, is thus eliminated. The wild -killed Animals- were eollected chiefly by De. W. L. Abbott. John /ay White, Colcmel Vheodore Itoose. velt, Kermit Ttootevelt, Paul J. Rain- ey and tdound Miter. The sped. wens from the National Zoological park at 1,01111g kniMelis by Y. N. Mac- Millan. The Meet conspicuous external characteristics which distinguisaa the Park -reared animate from the wild lions of the same ago and from the same region are much darker color, More Mattriant mane, and much lon- ger hair tufts on the back of elbows. When the alcalillan lions appeared at the park, their strange, pale, grayish, buff Coloration was remarked as par- ticularly beautiful, as the men at the park had been accustomed to the Much ilarker lions already in capti- vity. When, after the death of the animals, tlie skins reached the mus- eum, the great darkening ot the gen- eral color since their arrival was at once noted. The degree ot color change was in direct relation to the period of life in Washington. Two of the 'McMillan lions were melee and three females, the females ,averaging somewhat darker in color than the males. The skin of one of the female lions which lived for five years in the park, ttfrned so dark that at a short distance it gave tele appearanee of a blackish -tawny enimal. The manes and tufts °Limir on the back or the elbows, of all the captive lions were ntuch longer, more silky, and more cinnamon buff in color than in wild - killed animals. In view ot the success of 'Mr. Efeebe's experiments in lucre:le:me the Pigmentation in birds., by confinement In superhumicl atmosphere, it venal perhaps seem unnecessary to go be- yond the theory that the humid ell - mate of Washingten acted in a eimi- lar manner on these lions from the highlands of East Africa to greatly darken the color of the skin. In' the skull, the changes wrought by captivity are even greater. Tile slculls of the captive BUIE are broad- er and shorter, more . masstee aud bulky, and show many relative dif- ferences which in wild animals would, be instantly accepted as sufficient evi- dence on whitah to bazie a pew selectee. The obvious reason for tliese great ditferences is that the principal mus- cles operating the jaws and neck (those muscles used by a wild lion in irauling and killing- gamebiting, gripping and shaking), have had lit- tle influence on the shape of the bone e •duting development. In a wild - reared lion thee, pewerfol mueeles naturally and io a normal way mould the growing ekull, particularly in the regions of their attachment.-Waeh- ington Correspontleure if the New York "Evening* Post."

ENGLISH THE TONGUE, War Will Increase Its Use Enormously, The war is going. to prOduce many unexpected' results.
