There comes a time in, the life of al. most every girl when. sickness attacks her. The strain upon her blood supply is too great, and there comes headaches and backaches, loss of ap etite, attacks of dizziness and heart pa pitation, and a general teedency to a decline. The only thing that can promptly and speed- ily mire these troubles is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. This is the nixie medicine that actually makes new, rich, red blood, and a plentiful supply of rich blood is the one thing needed to main- tain the health of growing girls and women of mature years. The truth of this•statement is proved in. the case of Miss Esther In Sproule, Trueraanville, N. S., who says: "At the age of six- teen years I left my eountry home to at- tend high school, The close confine- ment and bong hours of etudy nearly broke me down, My blood supply seemed to be defieient, and I grew pale and de- pressed: I was dizzy nearly all the time, and pimplee broke out on my face.

My mother urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I finally consented to do so. I hed hardly finished the second box before a change for the better took place, and the use of a few boxes more fully restored my health, and I have since been well and strong. I feel that I cannot say too much in favor of Dr. Williams Pink Pills, and I strongly re- commend them to other ailing girlse' You can Get these Pills from any medicine &abler or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williems' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. • A UV -VITA Ur. keeon-You ehould never judge a man by his clothes, dear. biro.

CATCHING COLD. (New York Herald), This is the sort of weather thee" leade to carelessness iu the matter of wraps and overcoats, and as a result thous- ands of persons in this city every day "catch cold." Most of the diseases of the air pas- sages ha,ve their beginning in what is commonly known as catching cold, it is a well-known .feet that the human boa), must be meintained under all einem- stances at a teniperature of about 08 degrees Fahrenheit, otherwise disease will result. ITeat is produced in the human organ- ism in two ways -first, by oxidation of food, and, Second, by the conversion of 41,118cUlar movement into heat. The sud- den lovsering of this temperature causes a contraction of the small blood vessels in the spine, a disturbance of the heart's action and a congestion of some of the internal organs, particularly those of the respiratory tract. The heat which is generated within the body by the oxidation of food and mus- cular movement would be lost by radia- tion if the temperature of the atmos- phere surrounding the body was far be- low the normal tenmeraturo of the sys- tem, and therefore this loss must be kept at a minimum by an interposition between the spine of the body and the air by proper olothing which. is a non- conductor of heat, thereby keeping the heat in the body, not the cold out, as is generally supposed. Hem the question may be raised -why some people take cold more easily than others. Those who live a sedentary life in overheated vooms and whose cligestive apparatus is impaired; or those confined in olose rooms, yoluntztrily or involun- tarily, and those suffering from disease of the lunges also persons who do not take the proper amount of outdon ere's°, easily take cold from the slight- est exposure To prevent catching cold one should take plenty of outdoor exercise at all seasons and in all kinds of weather, shoule sleep in rooms which aro well vele! tilated, the temperature Of living rooms not to be heated above 08 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and should not dress too tvarmly. The clueiging of nothing thould mot he cot:lined so much to undergar- ments as tO outer ones, tight underwear should be Worn the year around and the outer clothing changed according to the weather conditions.

One Reason is the Engineere, Another the Boilers Themselves'. The 'agent fot eonmany that ins cures boilere was one of a party of mat who were disoussing the uns pleasant work that eoxim men have ts do, and lie insisted that 11 anybody has a disagreeable jels it is the boiler inspector. ' "In the first place," said the speak- er, "the inspector doesn't know when he tackles •a boiler whether the ens gineer Is telling him the truth about its conditien. His experiOnge has led him to believe that the engineer will find it convenient to overlook some defect that in the end will probably prove serious. "Then. the inspector goes to work himself with the intention of finding the weaknesses that may have been ttoticed or may have escaped the at- tention of the engeteer. The inspee- tor has a hoe disagreeable, dirty job of it. "The Inspector is regarded in sortie quarters the same as in the quaran- tine officer whonesearlet fever breaks out and he comes to tack up the red card. His corning is viewed as a nec- essary evil,. and he is considered. a chronie fault finder, For thatereason the engiuteer tones great joy in hiding a defect, no matter how serieus, aud if the inspector goes away without see- ing it the engineer will regard it as a huge joke and tell it to all the frieeds he can trust. "This attitude of the eegeeeer is frequently due to. his belief that be -- ease he has bon tending this one boiler an his life he knows more about it than an inspector who looke at thousands. The engineer is erle'v- ously mistalcen, for the very fact that the inspector looke at so many boil - ere makes it certain that lie will note any detect. "Sometirries the inspector gets a real surprise, for occasmiaally he meets an eughteer who wants to cooperate in safe -guarding the boiler, and this en- gineer wil have both the interior and the• exterior .of the boiler as clean as possible so as to facilitate the inspec- tion and make it less difficult to notice defects.

Blaisdell knocked the sebee froth his pipe and put it. in his pocket. Then, producing a plug of' tobacco from an- other pocket, he bit off one corner of it and began eating it with evident sat- isfaction. "Speakin' of dogs," he saki, after a considesable pause, "there's a nigger lives up in the woods a, mile or two to .the no'tlieva.rd o' town whet's got a bute dog whet's- considetble pneollair, l'r eutreoge Ile ain't a mite quieeleonte. .

PERIOD OF SILENCE. Agaie there was a period. of silence, while each num in the robin paid strict aktention to 'hie tobacco. There seemed to be a general, impression thee Mr. Pepper was about to speak and a disposi- tion to allow hint to do so without in- terference. That. gentlenian, however, had no apparent intense in enything but his pipe for some minutes.

Accordingly there was a nervous inter- est in •the game among the bystanders. Blaistlell dealt first, awl in accordanee tient, his usual custom inede no display of his e,kill at the outset, but allowed his antagonist to win several smell pots. Then, judging that the other had with- jearnokl. confidence, he riffled the cards eentewhat and gave Baker a king for his firet eard showing end dealt himself a Baker put up st. dollar thc betting being AS yet rather mode4, and coveyed it, Then he. gave Baker a, ten spat and himself another jack, mak- ing it his bet. He put $5 on the pot, and Baker, looking again at his buried, card, seerrned min,ded to rairts, but after sortie con- sideration simply stayed- . The next cards came ten, seven, giving Baker a pair of tens in, sight, but leaving the bet still with Blaisdell. This trim•e the bet Was $10, and Baker promptly raised it $10. "Looks like a tellable long chanoe," said Bleiseell, coolly, "but reekon risk it," and he oovened the raise. On the final round Baker caught a queen ttaul Blaisdell another jaek, where- upon he.threw in a -white chip and Baker laden. This put the two platnes about even, meld the &al passed. The next hand seemed at first to nadicate that Baker's luck would hold, for the cards fell to him queen, six awl. queen showing, against Bl.a.isdeles ten, eight and jack, There was abeut $20 in. the pot when Baker, betting on him queens, put be $20 more, To the surprise of all the others, Blaisdell covered the bet and then eltoved his stack forward. Only one explanation of this play by 14 Man of Blatedents skill was possible. He was beaten in sight and the only hand be could. till was a straight, since his cards were of different suits, anti the normal chance of making a straight was not enough to justify his bet, so that his Molds realized that in some way he must feel himself assured of getting the card he wanted, although at the time of betting he eould only see the back of it. They remembered, how- ever, that Blaisdell had been known US. guess correctly at the face value of a card by looking at its back, and they did not, as Baker did, tegard it as au ill-timed bluff. Even Baker seemed at first to thiek there was semething dangerous In so unexpected a play, and he hesitated, hut after aooking carefully at the two hands as they lay he saw that his two queens would beat anything but a straight thee Blaisdell could hold unless he bad a. buried ace or king, and he put up his _stack confidently enough end dealt the last cards. Blaisdell's card was a nine and Bak- er's was a third ineen, but Blaisdell turned over itis buried eard, which prov- ed. to be the case queen, while Baker's was an ate. "That . sure was some lucky,'" said. Baker, in astonishment, "betel tockon nn put up ag'n.that kied o' play Pr a Epee. Play you f'r five hundred."' "Good!' said Blaisdell, aria they put uplathetre linBoeenoeilya, freezout Blaisdell did not deal onee, Baker losing every pot till Ito was again broke to the evident amazement of Winterbatoin.
