A five -weeks trip from �ocearr to ocean over the Canadian Pacific Railway, has Absolutely can. -vinced- me that the great future ahead of Canada, that is claimed -for her by your political leaders and cAptains of industry will probably arrive much ,earlier than is looked for by the most -enthusiastic booster. 0* iervations made during my tril have indeed been a revelation to me, an It must also have been to many others, Aside from the marvelous ,acenery, your vast domain has poten. tial prospect$ In a commercial sense that cannot fall to materialize, Whoth. ,er one considers the outlook from the .standpoint of mining, agriculture, lum. �borin&, fisheries, or otherwise, a splen. 4id prospect moves into view.

M�'Iist people are aware that oil has -a r%M40kable effect on the waves of a Isto&*y sea. many a ship has been kepV afloat in a tempest by her crevy pou�ihg overboard part of the. oil that formed her cargo.

A New Help for the Housewife. The most laborious. of all domestic tasks is scrubbing floors. Any woman will testifY to that, It brealis the back and 4ears out both temper and stock - Ing -knees. Hence It may be consider- ed that Charles F. Oliver, of $her- brooke, Quebec, has.proved himself a benefactor through the Invention of a stoopless scrubbing brush which he has newly patented in this country. The brush has a long handle' there- fore , the operator doesn't have to stoop. On top Of It Is a rectangular box containing water and a cake of zoap;. Sharp metal points projecting upward from � t4e, bottom of the box scrape the ioap constantly as the brush Is pushed back and forth. A dribble of soapy water falls continual - IT in front of the brush through a raw of small -holes, prOyIded for that pur- pose. Thus the scrubber has nothing to do but to shove the leng handle to and fro, soapy w4ter being fed out In advance of the brush. The perform- .ance is Almost automatic. Turning Night Into Day. One at the strangest flowers, and one that is not often seen, because it only blossoms -after night has fallen, and then withers before dawn comes, Is the cerous. Except at the time it blooms, this plant, which Is one of the few that turn night into day, is not at All attractive In appearance. What you see is nothing more than a leaf- less, distorted tangle of discolored and xepellent vegetable fibres. But when this, unpromising mass of roots does break Into, blossom, it throws out flowers as beautiful as they axe deliciously scented. The bud be- gins to untold a little after dusk, and In in hour or two it has grown to a large flower several feet In efrounifer- once, which at midnight Is brown and iwango and white, and 11110 the air With a heavy tropical acent like a cona- 'pound of fresh frangipanni, roses, and tiger Hiles.

To poor blood Is due the pimples and blotches, the muddy earn. Plexion, that disfigures so many faces. To have good health, a good complex- ion and a cheerful manner, the blood must be kept rich, red and pure. This I* easily done through the use of a blood enriching tonic like Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. The whole mission of this mediclue is to help enrich the blood which reaches every nerve and every organ In the body, bringing with It health, strength and now activity. That is why people Who, occasionally use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills always feel bright, active and strong. Mrs, E. E. Cook, Sirocco, Out., gives strong -testimony to the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills when the blood is in an anaemle condition. She says, "! have been a sufferer for some years from a ran down condition of the sys, tem. I suffered from pains in the back, twitching of the nerves and muscles, my appetite was poor, I had indigestion and would get drowsy after eating. My hands and feet were almost always cold, and though I was constantly doctoring, the medicine I took did not help me. I had practical- ly given up hope of good health, until A friend f rear Hamilton, came to visit me, and urged rat to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. It took some persuasion, but finalli I consented to try them, I have reason to be grateful that I did, for after using seven boxes I felt like a now person. I have gained in weight, have a better color and my work ' 19 now a pleasure. For this can- dition my thanks are due to Dr. WIT. liams' Pink Pills, and I cannot praise them too highly." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Out. - C. . - The New Chief Scout. I -Its Excellency, Baron Byng of Vimy, Governor-General and Chief Scout for Canada', presided at a recent meeting of the Do -minion Council of the Boy Scouts Association. A resolution was adopted expressing gratification at His Excellency's acceptance of the highest office In the gift of the Scout movemert In Canada. In reply to the resolution, His Ex- cellency expressed the satisfaction and pleasure he felt at becoming head of so worthy and Important an organi- zation. He believed whole-heartedly in the worth of the Boy Scout Move- ment and its benefits to the entire country. Very amusingly and with not a little pride, His Excellency told of how, before the war, he became so thoroughly lnterestqd In Scouting that hG had studied and gone right through every grade, finally winning the Silver Wait, which Is the highest decoration In the Scout movement. He recalled the occasion when he- had formed twenty-eight troops in the country In which ite lived. He. had also started one of the first, if not the first, scout- masters' training course. In conclu- sion, he said he accounted it a plea- sure, while In Canada, to do every- thing he could to help the movement. .Very stimulating reports were board in connection with the progress throughout the provinces, the province of British Collimbia receiving special mention. His Grace Archbishop Mc. Neil, of Toronto, was, appointed to the Canadian General Council, and Right Rev. Bishop Fallon, of London, -was made A member of the Dominion Executive Committee. Plans were dis- cussed for the publication Of further) Scouting works, and the extension of! the stores department for supplies of uniforms, the object being to have one standard uaiform for the whole of Canada.

About two months ago I got very much worse and my arms legs were so'bad I wa�B almost 1 less and couldn't even hold a pen to, sign my name. I was so weak I could not do any housework. I couldn't even sleep, and had no rest day or night. Even to walk a few steps would tire me out completely. When I tried to walk a little. way and sat down� I could not get.up without some one helping me. I had no appetite and hardly ate enough to keep me alive, I could not stoop over far enougbL to get my shoes on. "I never know what a night!s sleep was, and would lie awake for hours.
