A conservative estimate Wades it at 00,000,000 4 year. The bones thrown into the garbage pails eery day contain the essence of hen. drede of plates of eoup. It is a serious thought that with thonsands a pe,hple In aetual ucied tto much is still going into' the garbage cans a tugs country The three principal methods for the dieposal of garbage Are (1) hicinera- time (2) reduction •and (3) feeding. The latter necessarily involves the least -waete and serves a useful purpose In supplying feed for the animals whose flesh is vitally needed for ship- ment-oVerseas. By the reduction pro. ceps, garbage is treated so as to re• move the greaae and to convert certain elements into fertilizer. Iu thie way it ie not wholly wasted, Investigation hies gone to show that garbageefed hoge fetch as good a price on the market as gritiaged animals. When cases of "softer" pork have been noted it has generally been found that the animate -were improperly raised, kept in stnall Pens and not allowed te exercise. Oe hundred pigs will eat a ton of gerbege per day. This means an aver- age ration of 20 pounds apiece per day. Ev.e,ry 1,000 people could support from 29 to 30 head of swine. A toa of garb- age fed to hogs may be expected to yield, roughly speaking,. about 40' potteds of marketable Iive weight. ete little garbage should reach the can as possible, but evert housekeeper tins that a certain amount inevitably finds its way into this receptacle, and thete is no better way of having it used tm than by keeping pigs or chick- ens, In most communities the garbage might be saved and given to the family who raise hogs, In this way R is being used to the best possible advan- tage and, in addition, it makes it cheaper and more profitable' to keep pigs when an abundant supply of garbage is available. A good many women have had eause to worry over ' the waste of food through hoarding or • neglect, -which they have seen in different parte of the country while some have been 'per- sonally responsible for this reprehen- sible practice by thinking it was far- sighted policy to put away all the supplies they could while it was to be had,. The attention of the Canada Fooa Board has been focussed on this phaee of waste, however, and in order -in - Coulson No. 597 specific regulations have been issued prohibiting the "wil- ful evaste of any food or food products :Where such waste results from care- letiseees, or from the manner of stor- age• thereof, or is due to any other avoidable cause." It is the expresa dutet of each municipality to . enforce this . regulation within its municipal limits, and anyone who comes to hear of tespecifie case ot waste or hoarding MIltit immediately notify either the provincial or municipal authorities. If the Food 13oard has reason to betting) that any food•or food products suitable for human consuraptien le stored or kept in a warehouse, store, private residence, building, premises, eitip; railway car or other conveyance, and that it is likely to become unfit for .,human consumption, the owner will be notified to immediately sell or dispose of the foodstuff. If he deers notdo this, the Food Board may seize the, food and sell it, the owner to be the loser. 'Ilse penalty for failing be comply with the regulations is a fine not exeeeding $1,000 and net less than $100; or to imprisonment for a. period not exceeding three mouths, or to both fine: and imprisonment.

To be able to eat what yo»t want. and to digest it properly is it priceless blessing. Geed digestion is not ap- preciated tuitil you lose it, Then you cannot afford to experiment, for strong medicines are hard on weak stomaehsif you have indigestion do not be persuaded into believing you can cure yourself by the use of pre- digested foods or so called stomach tonics. There is no tonic for the stomach that is not a tonic for every Part of the body. It is through the blood that the stomach gets its power to assimilate and digest food, and as the blood goes to every part of the body, and improvement in its condi- tion not only results In strengthening the stomaeh but every organ In the body. Rich red blood is absolutely. necessary to good digestion, • If your stomach is weak and you are troubled with sour risiiigs hi the throat, a feel- ing of pressure about the heart, or nausea after eating .try the tonic treatment with Dr. Williams' "Pink Pills. So many dyspeptics have been cured by this medicine that' ever suf- ferer from stomach trouble 'should try it. . You will soon know the joy of good digestion and enjoy better health in other ways if you give this medi- cine a fair trial. Mr. Fred.- J. Ken- dall, Darlin avenue, Toronto, says: "For upwards of five years I was a great sufferer from indigestion, which gradually undermined my gen- eral health; leaving me in a weak and anaemic condition. I spent consider- able money with one doctor and an- other, but failed to receive any lasting benefit, and had become quite discour- aged. One day my wife urged me to try Dr. 'Williams' Pink 'Pills,- but I thought it would, be- the same old story. But she had so much faith in them that she got me a box, and to please her I began taking them. BY the time the box was finiehed, I no- ticed a slight improvement, and I con- tinued taking them and sooh found myself gaining, I could sleep better and my appetite improved without the distressing symptoms that had previ- ously followed eaning. 1 think I took th all about a dozen boxes, and to -day I am a stronger man than I ever was In my life. When 1 began the use of the pills I weighed 13 pounds while now I weigh 167. „ . You may use this letter as you choose, hoping it may Teach some poor, discpuraged sufferer as I was." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills thorugh any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' !Medicine CO., Brockville, Ont. o • Aimmenramanteammikom Famous Ruins Of Old Mexico imainimmoimminsimpusumws The work oe, \exploring the famous ruing of San Jultn Teotihuacan, which had been sespended throughout the revolutionary period, has been ., re- sumed tinder theedirection of the., sec- retary of Beatuento, and it is belteVed that sone:every important and inter- esting disdoveries will be made., 'Re- cently an excursion was organizedeto these prehistoric ruins, coMposee . of the diplomatic corps and :high public functionariee, to most of Ahe forinee it being an entirely new and novel 'exe perience.

' Exploit's Harbor, Notre Dame Bay, ItIfid, April .29th,—That Dodd's Kid- ney Pills are epholding their enviable reputation in every cornet* of Canada is evideneed by the statement of :Mrs. Samuel Milley, a well-known resident of this place. "For several years I suffered from rheumatism and heart failure," Mrs. Willey states. "I used twenty-two boxes of Dodd's 101=1 Pine, and my riseumatism is all' gone.

Dodd's Kidney Pills net direetly oxt the kidneys. If the kidneys are weak and sick they cannot do their full work of straining the impurities out of the alood.

Subjected to Heat Treatment ' Tried in a )3a11 -Testing Machine 111 you wish to test the hardness of an apple, the most natural way is to press down upon Its surface and not the- indentation of your thumb. This is simple and conclueive evi- dence. The French governraent em- ploys a very similar test to prove the hardness or its high explosive shells, says the Populae %donee eionthly. To secure the maximum of destrtc- tiveness, it is important not only that the steel projectiles should be of a certain hardness, but also that they should pot be too hard. After the cas- ing has been roughly formed and hol- lowed out, the shells are subjected to what is knowe as a "heat treatment," by which the steel is brought to the correct hardness. To makedeeiley sure, the shells are tested in a Bri- nell ball -testing machine. • This maehine tests the hardness of the shell exactly as your thumb tests the hardness of the apple. It is fitted with a .smail, hardened steel ball, which is pressed into the shell under a specified load. The indentation made by the ball is measured, and it within certain limits; the hardness is cor- rect. If not, the shell must be further treated.

Even the water evaporated. (Their traditional home was in this semi-deeset region.) After five days, the Creator, who bad orig. inally gone up above, sent a vulture from the sky to see if the earth was oold, but he found the burnt bodies of men and remained to eat them.
