Many Women Suffer untold Agony
From Kidney Trouble.
Very often they think it is from so-called
"female disease." There is less "female
trouble" than they think.
Women suffer from backache, sleepless-
ness, nervousness, irritability and a drag-
ging down feeling in the loins. So do men,
and they do not have "female trouble."
Why, then, blame all your trouble to
"female diseaso" ?
Most of the so-called "female disorders"
are no more or less than"kidney disorders,"
and can be easily and quickly cured by
Dose's Kidney Pills.
Mrs. O. Dupuis, Belleview Village, N.B.,
writes : "I was unable to do my house-
work for two yeara on account of back-
ache. I could not get up the stairs. Down's
Kidney Pills cured me permanently after
doctors failed to even relieve the pain. I
can highly recommend them to all sufferers
from kidney trouble,"
Price 50 cts. per box or 3 boxes for $1.25
at all dealers or mailed direct on receipt
of price by The Dean Kidney Pill Co.,
Toronto, Ont.

NOTES AND COMMENTS
There is no succession duty on an es -
state which doesn't exceed $10,000. The
Succession Duty Act says no duty- shall
be leviable on any estate the value of
which doesn't exceed $10,000. It also
says that no succession duty shall be
levied on property passing to a father,
mother, husband, wife, child, daughter-
in-law or son-in-law, where the aggre-
gate value of the property so. passing
doesn't exceed $50,000.
To place firearms in the same cate-
gory as poisonous drugs is the propo-
sition of W. D. McPherson (West To-
ronto), in his Legislative bill to re-
gulate the sale of firearms. Under its
provisions the storekeeper may not
sell to anyone under eighteen years
of age or to anyone whom he may
..'..v -"consider irresponsible. When the sale
is made he must also enter in a book
the name and address of the pur-
chaser. "My intention is," said Mr.
McPherson, "to enable the authori-
ties to keep track of where these wea-
pons are."
The editor who receives a salary
of $100,000 a year should know what
he talks about, This man is editor of
the New York American. Addressing
an editorial association recently, he
said: -"I feel deeply the importance
of supporting local newspaper enter-
prises, and rewarding adequately the
work done by the local editor and his
staff. Yon cannot keep this country in
order, you cannot keep down its finely
organized rascality unless you have in
every town, and if possible in every
village, the local editor who is a moral
policeman, using publicity as his club."
Rod and Gun Spring Fishing
Number
The first sight of the fine cover of the
excellent Spring, (April) Fishtog Num -
bee of Rod and Gun in Canada, publish-
ed by W. J. Taylor, Woodstock, Ont„
will stir the blood of the thousands of
fishermen throughout the Dominion and
start them on the congenial work of pre-
paring for the ooming fray. The long
and varied nature of the contents of the
number, in which fish and fishing topics
predominate, will still further stimu-
late them, and the opening of the fishing
season will probable see an increase in
the anglers' ranks as one result of the
interest aroused through the wide dis-
ae Reason why
We Feel Tired
The system is overloaded with poisort-
t sus waste matter.
You expert to be tired when you
have been working hard, for the activ-
ities -if the muscles or brain cause a
breaktng down of cells, or burning up,
we might say, and after while the sys-
tem becomes clogged with this waste
matter or ashes and you get tired.
But you aro often tired when you
have not been working hard and in
this case the conditions are much the
came but the presenee of the poisonous'
waste matter isadue to the derangements
of the excretory organs -the liver,
kidneys and bowels.
'Under each cireumstenees you cannot
possibly do better than use Dr. Chase's
idney-Liver Pills for they have a di -
reef., specif e and combined action on the
liver, kidneys and bowels, thoroughly
cleansing the exeretory system and re•
*dosing healthful digestion.
There ire is no medicine of more fro -
tient or effeetive use in the family than
)r. Chase 'e KidneyLiiver Pills for they
have no equal as a cure for constipation,

gemination of these stories. Three
articles stand out as of value to the conn
try :-"Preserving the Nation'8 Fish"
by Cyrus MoMilian, an illustrated de-
soriptive account of the work of the
Prince Edward Island hatchery; "The
Unsolved Mystery of the Salmon." by
Bonnycastie Dale, who has spent two
years on the Pacific Coast studying the
ways of the salmon and, with the ex-
ception of one point, Ieaving the my-
stery still unsolved; and "Conservation
of Non -Nest Building fishes of the
Great Lakes," by W. E. Meehan, Chief
Fish Ogmmissioner for Pennsylvania, in
which a plea is put forward on behalf of
a polity on which there will be great
differences of opinion but which closely
concerns the future of the Great Lakes
fisheries, Then fishing tripe in four
separate provinces are told in a manner
irresistibly reminding fishermen of in-
cidents in their own experiences. "A
New Brunswick Lost Lake Found." is
particularly good, though eaoh story has
an interest all its own. A similar var•
ioty of fare will be found for those
interested in other forms of sport. "A
Lady's Moose Hunt in New Brunswick,"
by Mise EmaOD being a good specimen.
On every page of an excellent number
the sportsman will be able to find mater.
ial wbioh eannot fail to prove of the
deepest possible interest to him.
MAKE IT YOURSELF.
Says Many Persons Here can be Made
Happy Again by Using it.
There is so much Rheumatism here
in our neighborhood now that the fol.
lowing advice will be highly appreciated
by those who suffer:
Get from any good pharmaoy one-
half onnoe Fluid Extract andelion, one
mince Compound Karg, . , three ounces
of Compound Syrup S rsaparilla. Shake
these well in a bottl r. and take in tea-
apoonfnl doses after eaoh meal and at
bedtime; also dr nk plenty of good
water.
It is claimed t. • t there are few vic-
tims of this e d and torturous disease
who will fail . find ready relief in this
simple home-made mixture, and in
most oases a permanent onre is the
result.
The simple recipe is laid to strengthen
and cleanse the eliminative tissues of
the Kidneys so that they can filter and
strain from the blood and system the
poisons, acid and waste matter, which
cause not only Rheumatism, but num-
erous other diseases. Every man or
woman here who feels that their kidneys
are not healthy and active, or who suf-
fer from any urinary trouble whatever,
should not hesitate to make up this
mixture, as it Is certain to do much
good, and may save you from much
misery and suffering after while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix the
prescription ready to take if our readers
ask them.

Salient Points in the Lesson for Sunday, Apr. 4,
Given in a Series of Questions by
Rev. Dr. Linseott.
(Registered in accordance with the;Copyright Act.)
PETER AND CORNELIUS. Acts x:1-48.
Golden Text. -In every nation he
that feareth him and worketh right-
eousness, is acoepted of him. Acts
x:35.
Verses 1 -8. -Was a devout Roman
in those days as well pleasing to God
as was a devout Jew?
Can you give any reason to -day why
God is not as well pleased with a de -
vont Roman Catholio, as he is with a
devout Protestant, or vice versa?
What reason is there for or against
the idea, that revelations and visions
were given to devout mea of all nat-
ions in those days, as well as the
Jews?
Verses 9.16. -Is it wise and profit-
able to have pertain set times for
prayer, or is it better to be always in
the epirit of prayer, and let our needs,
or the Holy Spirit, direct as to special
times for prayer?
Are people who are not seeking for
revelations, likely to have them?
The eating of the fieeh of those an-
imals, or most of them, which Peter
saw in his vision, is forbidden in the
old testament; how do you a000nnt
for it. that "the word of God," and the
spirit of God do not agree in thie
ease?
Pater in the first instance stuck to
his creed, and refused to obey the direct
voice of God ; was he right or wrong in
to doing?
Meat we, in thought, be bound in all
things by the written words in the
Bible, and refuge to obey any direc-
tion of the Holy Spirit to the con-
trary?
Versos 17 27. -Does God blame us if
we test what we think to be revelations
before we act up them.
When God gives a revelation that
is not unmistakably clear, may we de-
pend that he will arrange oiroumstanoee,
or give another revelation to clear up
the doubt, es in this case?
Was Oornelins reconciled to God, or
an acoepted ohild at this time?
Verses 28 -29. -Are any of the
Commandments otthe Bible to be
tested by the teaching of Jesus, and
by the spirit of God, or must we un-
hesitatingly obey them all, Just as
they read, withoutf any question?
(This question must;be answered in
writing by members of the club.)
Verses 30 33. -If we prayed and fast-
ed more, should we have more visions
of God?
Is there any merit in good works;
and how much if any, credit does God
give for them?
Does God in these days give by his
Spirit, such detailed and matter -of fact
instructions, as he gave to Peter and
Cornelius?
Verses 34 -43. -What is the ground of
a man's acceptance with God, according
to Peter's statement here?
According to the suggestion in verse
87, Cornelius had heard about Jeans,
hie teaching, his death and resurrec-
tion; is it at all unlikely that he was a
believer in Jesus?
Verses 4448. -What is the meaning
of the Holy Spirit falling upon this
company ?
Excepting the gift of tongues, are all
Christians privileged to receive the Holy
Ghost as these persona did?
How may a Ohristian in the state
Cornelius was, reoeive the Holy Ghost
as he did?

THE FIRST SPRING DAY.
I wonder if the asp is stirring yet,
It wintry birds are dreaming of a mate,
If frozen !now drupe feel as yet the sun,
And crocus fires are kindling one by ono:
Sing, Robin, Sting;
I still am sore in doubt concerning
Spring.
I wonder if the Springtide of this year
Will bring another Seeing both lo*t acid
dear;
It heart and spirit will find out their
Spring,
Or if the World alone Will bud and ging:
Sing, hope, to me;
Sweet notes, my hope, soft notes for
memory.
The sap will surely quicken soon or late,
The tardieet bird will twitter to a mate;
So spring most daWn agate with warmth
and bloom,
Or in this world or in the World to oome:
Sing, voice of Spring,
Till I too blossom and rejoioe and sing.

and incidentally a opy of the pre-
scription which w of material as-
sistance in eff cti g a cure.
In the first p ce, he found that
every time he artook freely of acid
fruits his old trouble returned; and,
secondly, he learned that it was abso-
lutely essential to keep the kidneys
active. To do this it was necessary
to drink plenty of water. Occa-
sionally he would dissolve a lithia
tablet in the water to assist its
action on the kidneys.
The treatment is as follows : Pro•
cure from your druggist :--
Fluid Extract Cascara....... 3S oz.
Syrup Rhubarb t oz.
Carriana Compound 1 oz.
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla 5 oz.
Take one teaspoonful sifter each

Saying Prayers on Rosary.
The survey of India has produced
in its annual report the portrait of
the greatest of Indian explorers, Ho
was known to geographers for years
as the Pundit A -K. His identity was
not revealed as long as he was likely
to be employed again in the explore.,
tion of Thibet, where no white man
or East Indian was permitted to
travel.
When he became superannuated
the Government gave A -K a grant of
land and other rewards for his re-
markable services, and since then
he has been known as the Pundit
Krishna. The story of his wander-
ings for nine years in a forbidden
land, even when told in the plain,
dry style of official reports, reads
like a. romance.
There was not a waking moment
when he was not acting a part. Born,
on the frontier of Thibet, he could
talk the language of the country like
a native, and this was his one great
advantage.
He traveled always as a Thibetan,
now as a merchant with a consider-
able stock of goods, then as an itiner-
ant podler, again as a Buddhist de-
votee reciting sacred verses from'
hamlet to hamlet, and on two ur
three occasions, when necessity com-
pelled, he secured employment as a
herder of sheep and goats.
If his secret had been discovered
his life would have paid the penalty.
He was in peril many times and was
occasionally arrested and detained
as a suspicious character, but he al-
ways had a straight story to tell, and
the truth was never known till he was
living in the retirement and peace
which he had earned.
His greatest mishaps were that rob-
bers despoiled hire twice of nearly
everything he could use in paying
his way. Otherwise he never met
with any personal ill treatment, and
the reports he made are remarkable
for the absence of any expression of
animosity against those who diel him
harm.
The Indian Government thought it
politically of great importance to
learn more about the vast closed
country to the north, in which were
hidden the resources of three of the
greatest of India's rivers -the Indus,
the Sutlej and the Brahmaputra. So
the Government trained a number of
Hindus who gave 'promise of becom-
ing intelligent and skilful observers
andtiontaught them the arts of explora-
.
They learned how to make route
surveys and to determine heights and
latitudes. It was strongly impressed
upon them that they must keep an
unbroken record of the bearings and
distances on their routes from place
to place and also determine a few
latitudes. With this information a
fairly accurate map might be made
of their travels.
They were to obtain distances by
counting their, paces. This is a very
tiresome thing to do, but the Pundit
A -K kept it up for practically every
step on his journeys through Thibet.
Sometimes he was so well to do
that he had two or three horses to
carry his trade goods, and the people
thought it astonishing that they never
saw him riding. Once he was clap-
ped into jail by the governor of the
district who thought him worth
watching, He was released through
the good offices of a lama, or Bud-
dhist priest, who had seen him be-
fore and thought him the humblest
and most devout man he had ever
met.
The lama invited the Pundit to his
monastery, 600 miles away, through
an unexplored region, and the ex-
plorer had to ride a horse to keep
up with the party. He counted every
pace of his horse, kept up all his
scientific abservations, and no one
was the wiser.
The way he contrived to lull sus-
picion all through his four journeys
was very effective and ingenious.
He managed matters so. that the
more scientific work he did the larger
grew his reputation as a Thibetan of
remarkable sanctity. As he walked
his lips were always moving and it
was evident that he was praying.
Appearances are deceptive, for he
was merely counting his paces under
his breath. He was always finger-
ing his Buddhist rosary and every
minute or so he would drop a bead.
This act did not record another pray-
er uttered, but one hundred paces
walked.
When the Pundit and his servant
reached the Indian border on the
last homecoming they were emaci-
ated with their hardships, ragged and
destitute, but they felt triumphant,
for they had brought home every
instrument they had taken away and
preserved every journal and field
book. None of his brethren in the
survey equalled the exploits of A -K
and he is counted among the leading
explorers of Thibet; but ho had hie
limitations like his fellow -surveyors.
Many have supposed that the Asia-
tic explorers of the Indian survey
were educated native gentlemen, but
this 'was not the ease. The survey
was never able to secure the services
of well educated natives who at the
same time possessed the hardihood,
courage and endurance required of
en explorer in Thibet.
