I had tried several medicines without benefit, and finally decided to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Soon I began to feel better, ! sleep°better and eat better, and found my weight increasing. In a word,. I felt like a new person. I have since recommended the pills to othors who have taken them with equally good results.” Try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for anaemia, rheumatism, neuralgia, ner­ vousness. Take them as a tonic if you are not in th© best physical con­ dition and cultivate a resistance that will keep you well and strong. Get a box from the nearest drug store and begin this treatment now.

CHANGE NEEDED "It’s terribly hard for anything- with as much money ip it as there is in prize-fighting to-day to be honest —especially for a'sporting, gambling proposition such as prize-fighting is,” | said James J. Corbett in an interview. > - • i.i. TA- nr •1.1. a. i i.T i. j' uwuriBnea, mm l pion. “I doubt if they can be in on it. I doubt if they can be in on it and get away with it. But the referee. He’s a poor man, usual­ ly; his earnings for a year are not a fractional part of what the short­ end fighter gets for an evening’s work. A few thousand dollars—or a f<ew hundred thousands, maybe— is a. temptation. "The referee might not always b© able to control the result, but he can do a great deal to affect it. In the one particular of breaking the fighters when they clinch he can do more to help one and to hurt the other than the average spectator can understand —perhaps more than any man can understand unless he has been in the ring himself. . "But that’s not the worst of it. There are in effect three referees—a referee and two judges. The decision is reached by majority vote. Nobody knows who voted one way or the other. That is never announced. No­ body is directly and solely responsible. "There ought not to be any judges in a prize-fight. The whole responsi­ bility ought to be on the shoulders of the referee. Then everybody would know that he was responsible for what was done and public opinion would hold him accountable for it. When there are three and nobody knows how they voted, anything, good or bad, just goes -without" being questioned very much.” "The men who control boxing do everything they can to cultivate the slugger and to stop the clever men,” "A ring should be twenty- four feet square",” Corbett believes. ‘.‘That gives a chance to the man who has footwork. But they deliberately change the rules to suit themselves. Many times they stage bouts in six­ teen, eighteen, twenty foot rings. That robs the clever man of his chance, of his footwork. One jump back—he’s against the ropes. He is forced to stand up and slug. "Many times a man who does not know the first rules of boxing can, if he is big and strong, win the decision over a man vastly his superior. That’s due to the system which is encour­ aged.” "The decision goes to the aggres­ sor,” Jim Corbett comments. That is • a very bad thing. The decision should be given on points, on style, on gen­ eralship. If a man is being rushed ; but can’t be hit, he deserves credit for not being hit. “How can you develop a scientific • fighter when they give him the worst of it every time he starts?” "Gentleman Jim” also thinks that j prize-fighting is at the peak so far , as crowds and gate receipts purses are concerned. and Magazine: of Science Darwin’s There was a - Evolution Edinburgh Blackwood’s (The British Association has entirely reinstated theory of evolution.) time when the word "science” had a larger and more humane meaning than it has to-day. But its tyranny is- now acknowledged, and we are content to bow the knee to authority and to be­ lieve that man is descended from an : pe or a jellyfish. This fact, how­ ever; does not Garry us all the way to salvation; and though we shall al­ ways marvel at the ingenuity and re­ search with which Darwin established this doctrine, we do not feel much bet­ ter or happier for It.. The Cradle of Empire Kingston Queen’s Quarterly: British race alone has evolved a policy of colonial alministration which be­ comes clearer and more successful as the generations pass and which has become the steadily growing wonder of the world. This policy based upon faith instil© peoplo as the ultimate Souree of government, saw its first great triumph at Halifax on the 2nd day of October, 1758, when twenty of Acadia’s freeholders met in solemn state, and, assuring Governor Law­ rence of tlfeir devotion to the Crown, proceeded to the ^business of making laws for the good of the people.the good of the people.

It is as though an individual whose income had fallen and whose expenditure had increased, until he was really paving very little, continued, in unconscious­ ness of this fact, to buy fresh stocks and shares on a considerable scale.

J>*It Cannot Be Done Baltimore Sun: (Bobby Jones poses that a new type of golf should be introduced which cannot be driven so^far.) There is one excel-’ lent reason why neither here nor in England will his proposal be accept­ ed. Dub golfers are in the great ma­ jority. Where a star can go from tee to green in two strokes, there are hun­ dreds of players who cannot do it in less than five or six, or even more. And the dub furnishes the dough that supports a game which eats up money. He would raise a riot if anything were done to lessen his drive five yards. To cut it down twenty-five would bring about a revolution. Bobby is a fine evangelist, but there never was on© who hit on so. cold a trail. ---------------ty.------ -------------- Gabby Gertie pro­ ball "Housekeepers who never can ket­ chup find it easy to beat a batter.” i British Shareholders in Cana- I dian Company are Victimized I London,—British shareholders in the Canadian company known as New Nakamun Coals, Gas, and Petroleum, Limited, are being appoached with a . view to sending good money after bad by subscribing-3d. per share to enable I a man named Stanley W. Hymans to i go out to Alberta to investigate mat- | ters on their behalf. "The history of Nakamun Coals, I Gas, and Petroleum, Limited, is typi­ cal of the methods adopted by share­ pushers or “white collar" banflits as they are called in the United States, to extract money from unsophisticat­ ed people,” says the Daily Mail, The experience of an aged North London woman is doubtless similar to that of many other- dupes of the pro­ moters of this company. She was approached by a share pusher who persuaded her to invest .£22 10s, by offering her dollar (4s. 2d) shares at 3s each. Once they had obtained this sum .they gave her no rest,-and eventually persuaded her to increase her holding to about £2(10, at- the same time getting her daughter to "invest” a similar amount. "SPECIAL OFFERS.” This was done by means of "special offers” from a Mr. George Westcott, who, writing from 48 Dover street, W., styled himself managing director of the company, from a firm called J. H. Stiles & Co., who gave an address at 17 George street, N. W. 1, from the Gotham Finance Co., 63 Wall street, New York, and' from the Westminster Bond and Trust Co., London-wall, E. C. 2. So far efforts have failed to trace either Mr. Westcott, J. H. Stiles and . Co., or the Westminster Bond and Trust Co., but a letter from Mr. West- ( cott to the shareholders indicates the : nature of the Gotham Finance Co. He , wrote: The Gotham Finance Co. . . . has ( disclosed itself as utterly unreliable < . . . there is absolutely no doubt they ( had no intention of paying for the shares bought from shareholders. . . ; They now brazenly repudiate their ( contract with me as well as the West- , minsterdBoiid anil Trust Co., and have i .also ref used-to pay ovei”t-&thg Com- ; pany any of the monies received from the British shareholders. " A SECOND BAIT. Another letter from Mr. Westcott throws some light on his own char­ acter. Writing from c/o th© Empire Service Bureau, 37 Albemarle street, W. 1, to the North London woman .who reported to him that a Mr. Law- son had called upon her with the ob­ ject of persuading her to buy more shares—at 4s. each—in th© company which was sure to pay a dividend in six months’ time, he suggests what criminals call a "double crossing” of his own sharepusher. He wrote: I understand Mr. Lawson intended calling on you again and if you prefer to deal with me and' obtain a reduc­ tion in the price of any shares you desire to take up I would suggest it might be best to decline his offer as possibly otherwise he would claim a commission on any shares you might purchase. I shall leave this to your own dis­ cretion. In any event I would suggest you do not disclose to him that I have suggested a lower price to you. ^Needless to say a company, the managing director of which conducts its affairs in such a curious manner •as this has never paid a dividend, and now Mr. Stanley Hymans is asking the shareholders for 3d. in respect f every share they hold to pay his ex­ penses to Alberta, so that he may in- Vvestigate the history of the concern. Mr. Hymans is a director of the Mer­ rick Trust, which has its office in Harley street. Mr. Hymans has denied all connec­ tion with the New Nakamun Com­ pany, and protested that he had only met Mr. Westcott once. "I have been asked by a few friends of mine who are shareholders to go out and! that is how I have been brought into the matter,” he ^aid. WORTHLESS TjEASE^’ Mr. Hymans also admitted that he was "afraid the leases held by the New Nakamun Company have lapsed from what I can learn. Of course I have my own opinion with regard to Mr. Wescott and his doings, but I do ’not popose to express it. I believe that he has now disappeared. I have not seen him for a long time.

Nature First For the Child Make your child travel from nature to books, not from, books to nature, is the advice to parents given by Llewellyn Jones, literary editor of the Chicago Evening Post, in an article in the November issue of "Child Life Magazine” on the Child and Nature. "These books are to be sympatheti­ cally understood,” writes Mr. Jones, "only by the reader, young or old, who has already felt for himself the charm of river and pond, who has learned to enjoy direct contact with nature.” x He emphasizes the value of nature study for the child. He says, "While such a study is in a sense an amuse­ ment, it is also a spiritual and mental discipline and will give the child an orientation toward his world that many older people lack. It will create a mental outlook that will expand as the child grows older and that will forever keep him from that .terrible fate—and it is a sin as well as a fate —of being ‘bored.’ "Of course, the child will need a few other things besides books, A small field glass or-telescope will en­ able him to go bird hunting. . With a pocket magnifying'glass he can study the habits of insects. "With the stimulus thus given, the young child will learn to make his own direct contacts with nature. At first he will be interested more in the details than in the whole, and this is fit and proper. But as the child grows ’older he will learn to see nature as a whole—as the living garment of exist­ ence. And he will appreciate the works of prose like Thoreau as well as of that great observer of details, Henri Fabre.” It is the opinion of Mr. Jones that, give the average child a few of the right books, encourage him to go from books to wood, field, seashore or even the world of the back garden, and yon will have provided him with more than a new interest; you will have ; given hiin a mental kingdom.. ---------_ For all pains—Minard’s Liniment.

Continuous Water Supply for Irrigation Canals Is to Be Provided ' Melbourne, Vic.—All the produc­ tivity of northern Vivtoria is due to the great system of irrigation which has been carried out in the last 15 or 20 years by the state Government. Most of this work has been don© in recent years, and the system Is being extended as rapidly as possible in or­ der to bring under cultivation aeras o Hand which require water to make them fertile. This vast irrigation system is supplied from Australia’s great waterway, the River Murray, which is now sending water through thousands of miles of irrigation chan­ nels, in Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia. Victoria has done more than any other state in this direction, and It is now pursuing Its endeavors witli In­ creased vigor. The state Parliament has this year authorized the raising ~of-••£1/00,000 of loan money for irri­ gation'and works. (Last financial year the*"fCmd'uLt spent in this way was £1,300,000).. Of 'us’® sum £482,000 will be spent upon the construction of storages to insure a continuous supply of water for the ir­ rigation channels. One of the areas of the state which has been transformed from waste land into a wheat growing district by means of irrigation is the Millewa land of the northwest. This com­ prises about 1,000,000 acres, and with the advent of a reliable water supply, about *750,000 acres have been taken up foi- wheat growing by 900 settelrs. The river Murray is about 1500 miles in length, and almost the whole of its valley, and the-land for great distances on either side, have been rendered productive as the result of irrigation. Most of the land is used for fruit growing, grapes and citrus fruits being the principal occupations o fthe thousands of settlers who have taken up irrigation blocks along the river. In addition to the Murray, other Victorian rivers have also been used to a great extent for irrigation and water supply purposes, though o na somewhat smaller scale, the various systems being designed ultimately to bring the benefits of irrigation to all parts of Victoria where it is required, so that the best results may be obtain­ ed from the land for agriculture. --------------------— Good Progress in Three Years Calgary, Alberta.—T. A. Duncan is now regarded as one of the most suc­ cessful farmers in the Dldsbury dis­ trict. He came to Alberta three years ago from Montana and began farm­ ing. He now has a farm, a complete line of implements, and good build­ ings, all paid. for.. In a letter sent recently to the Land Settlement Branch of the Canadian Department of Immigration and Col­ onization he states: "I have made good progress since I came to Alberta three years ago and have become permanently established' through engaging in mixed farming. I believe that Central Alberta is one of the surest places on the continent for a man with practically no capital to get a start.”■*— A true radical is a man who thinks you are against him if you can’t get', as excited as he doos, j 1 ElMu arc so easy and perfect IF you use the saniqkind of dyes Profes­ sional Dyers use.

While the Spanish claims have been modified they neverthe­ less call for conditions difficult to re­ concile with rights held under trea^ tics.
