The Blyth Standard, 1930-02-20, Page 3Is YOUR APPETITE POOR? ERHAPS by dieting or other means, you have been treating the symptoms, rather than the cause. Loss of appetite, heartburn, tour stomach, are symptoms that the blood ie impure. This explains the successful use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in all such cases. Hera is a typical example:— "I began to feel easily tired," writes Miss Margaret White, of Parry Sound, "and when I sat down to a meal I felt I did not want to eat. A doctor told me I was anaemic but I made little progress with his medicine. When I started taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I soon noticed that my appetite was improving, that the headaches came less frequently and that I was not so easily tired. Now my weight has increased, my cheeks are rosy and every ache and pant has van. fished." Start today to improve your appetite. Buy Dr. Wit..

This is partly true since the great African desert has been, nutde nessihle for motoring, Nevertheless, It is not. only a show place of neverdo-be-forgotten attractions, but also 0 land of labor. indeed, this wilderness, owing to the energetic efforts of the French auth- orities, is becoming a laud of eves, green gardens, where the populations live peacefelly is 010 shade of their palm trees amid wives, children, asses ami camels, The Saharan tribes believe their country to be the most beautiful aid themselves the happiest of people and, while busy cultivating their gardens, or lazily lying in the• sun along their mud -baked houses, bless Allah for pouring so many and generous gifts upon theta. The Algerian Sahara covers an area of about 2,200,000 kilometers and is inhabited by over 300,000 people of Borisov or Arab origin, white and black, nomad or sedentary, It Inas been divided by writers Into three sections; A large pasture field, where several /Milton domestic animals (sheep, oxen, asset. and camels) feed; a small cereal field, where inter albs, barley and tobacco grow, and lastly, a beautiful garden, Artesian Wells France is carrying out a wide hy- draulic policy through which many wells have been and aro being dug. These are known by the natives as "Friendship Fountains" and have con- quered the Saharan tribes far more easily than could have soldiers and guns and turned the deserted region into fruitful lands the products of which are known to the world at large, The filet French artesian well was dug in 1840, and the most famous one in 1024 in the small oasis of Rater on the was from Biskra, the famous winter resort to Tnggurt and the great desert marlret Tying on the main camel tracks. When opened, it gave an output of 20,000 litres a minute. The most famous oasis is found at Auargia, a small town inhabited by Arabs and Negroes and lying 850 kilo- meters south of Algiers. This oasis includes nearly 1,000,000 date trees in- closed in beautiful gardens. Two hun- dred and eighty kilometers farther south is the small but very beautiful oasis of El. Golan, lying in a romantic setting at tiro foot of a very old Ksar (castle) perched up high on a rock towering above the endless plain, Cost and Value of Dates That date trees are valuable re- sources to their owners Is clearly shown by the fact that each tree costs from S00 to 1200 francs, according to the quality of its fruit and is con- sidered by all the Saharan people as a heavenly manna to be used as a daily food. Even camels are so fed when undertaking n journey of several trays over the sans plains to the re- mote and meagre pasture fields. At the present time, according to recent estimates, the volume of water obtained by artesian wells, both French and native, is about 200,000 liters a urinate, irrigating an area of 300,000 hectares covered with palet gardens yielding a yearly crop of dates wortlt 100,000,000 raves, making the annual .sport of this fruit to France and foreign countries worth about 130,000 cubic quintals, or 70,- 000,000 francs, — Christian Science Monitor.

"The department has been asked to sanction the cutting of this wood for export to tate United States, but we did not approve of that.

Write Box Q 1348, the Times E. C, 4. The advertiser, a doctor, was seen traced, and he stated that the adver- tisement was inserted in at, effort to supply a real want, as he had just bought a country mansion of the old Elizabethan type, which was complete except for crickets on tine Learns "The house," he said, "bias fine old, open brick grates that as% just aching for crickets, Already I have prepared the homes of my new little friends, The holes are neat and sleep, The rugs are before the fire and I will pro - raise that all the delicacies they like shall be showered upon them. Then, and ..ot till then, will my hone be litre home," This desire for criclrets is no new fad of the doctor's. IIe had au old house before, and when he first went there no crickets were in occupation. One day, however, he attended l e& a poor patient who could not pay the fee, but in her house Ise heard crick- ets innumerable, "Send me a few," said the worthy medico, 'and I will send you a receipt," The crickets arrived the next day and after boring holes for then around the fireplace the doctor fed then daily until quite a firm friend- ship had sprung up, "At first they would come out only after dark, but as time wore on they seemed to get to know the smell of my pipe, I think, for whenever I was alone in the room they would creep out and, sitting on the hearth at my feet, sing their 111110 song till they could be heard all over the house," Tho news that some one was inter- ested in crickets came as a pleasant surprise to an expert at the Natural Iiletoy Museum. "It is a change to hear some one asking for crickets" he said. "Usually It is the other way round, We have massy complaints and requests for the most effective method of getting rid of them. "Now, personally I titre crickets and I would have one or two of them in my house if I knew where to get them. But you see there is no place in this country where you can procure house crickets, except in refuse slumps and I do not like then as much as all that," Use Minard's for Neuralgia.
