In this condition there is no tonic

which build up the blood, strengthen

demands of the growing child. Out-
of-door exercise, nourishing food,
plenty of sleep with these tonic pills
will cure even the most severe cases
of St, Vitus dance. We offer the fol-
lowing proof; "Up to the age of ten
years," says Mrs, Johnson, of Hem -
ford, N.S., "my son Calvin was as
healthy and rugged as any child could
be. Then he began to complain that
hiseyes hurt him, and of pains in the
head, and began to fall back in his
studies at school. Then I noticed a
twitching of the muscles of his face
and arms, and later his whole body
seemed to be in constant motion. Our
family physician was called in and
pronounced the trouble a severe at-
tack of St. Vitus dance. He was un-
der the doctor's treatment for some
three months, but did not seem to im-
prove. We had taken him from
school, and were careful that nothing
should excite him, but notwithstand-
ing he grew worse, and the least start
would bring on attacks of hysteria.
This went on for some months until
Dr, Williams' Pink Fills were brought
to my attention, and we decided to
give him this medicine. After using
a few boxes there was a noticeable
Improvement, and by the time he had
taken nine or ten boxes he had recov-
ered his former good health. There
has been no sign of a return of the
trouble, and I canscarcely say how
thankful we feel for the complete
restoration o four son's health."
Parents who find their growing
boys or girls becoming nervous should
lose no time in giving them Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills. You may ward off
an attack of St. Vitus dance, or if the
trouble has reached that stage the

Serious Handicap on the Lumber
Trade of British Columbia.
It is evident from reports on trade
conditions in British Colubia which
have just been received by officers of
the Canadian Northern Railway Com-

the people in the coast province are
now recovering, Representative busi-
umbra is meeting with favor for the
construction of aeroplanes, and sev-
eral small supplies have been deliv-

The credit situation in the Province
is improving, and it seems to be the
general opinion that obligations have
been well met when conditions are
considered. Lumbermen report that
their collections are satisfactory. The
weaker dealers are not in the market
to any extent, and the stronger firms
are able to meet demands made upon
them. Export lumber is sold on a
basis of cash on delivery.
The Department of Agriculture for

WHAT SCIENCE
of science and the value of it to the RENOVATING BUILDINGS..
State, there is no class which our
politicians so much fear as the
chemists, physicists, and men who
know their business.
The State's idea of the chemist was
shown in an English advertisement
last year,offering the princely salary
of £2 5s. a week to a first-rate
chemist required for research work
in one of the Government labora-
tories. While tens of millions have
in the past been expended on teach-
ing small boys and girls to read and
write, the princely sum of £4,000 a
year has been allotted by the State
to the Royal Society for Research. It
sounds like a grim joke, but unhap-
,,,ily it is true.

Canadian National Exhibition Au-
thorities Taking Precautions.
It will be interesting' to stockmen
generally to know that the most ex-
traordinary precautions are being
taken by the Canadian National Ex-
hibition, Toronto, to thoroughly diem-
feet all sheds and buildings to be
occupied by livestock during the com-
ing Fair, Aug. 28 to Sept. 18.
Immediately after the military au-
thorities had removed the last of the
horses housed at the grounds over the
winter, a. meeting of the chairmen in
charge of the different branches of
the livestock department at the Ex-
hibition met and decided to at once
seek Government co-operation in the
work of disinfecting and cleansing
the grounds.
A large force of men have since
been engaged at the work of immu-
nizing ,every inch of space, in which
task they are using the most thor-
ough methods. Floors, walls, ceilings,
stalls and every nook and cranny that
might prove a lurking or breeding
place for germs are being treated
with specially prepared disinfectants
of extra strength and effectiveness.
Before the livestock are housed at
the grounds previous to the Fair the
Exhibition Board will hate all build-
ings inspected by the Veterinary Gen-
eral, who will come from Ottawa for
the purpose. The Ontario Govern-
ment, too, will conduct an indepen-

neutralize the asphyxiating gas with
some other gas or vapor. To give an.
example,chlorine fumes would be
rendered harmless by soda solution

there would be a snowfall of a solid
viscous substance, chlorine of sodium,
or common salt.
The Germans mobilized their
scientists and physicists for military
purposes as they mobilized their
whole nation. The war is more and
more becoming a matter of science.
British Brain Best.
The scientists have given them
various kinds of asphyxiating gases
and bombs charged with formalise
and other 'choking fumes. They
have turned out high explosives in
gigantic quantities and of relative
stability. When the allied blockade
interfered with the supply of ni-
trates—and nitric acid is an essen-
tial ingredient in every explosive—
the German chemists produced their
plant by which nitrogenwas extract-
ed from the air. They have antici-
pated every 'move of the allies and
have sprung surprise after surprise
upon us.

Controls Liquor Sates.
Under the powers conferred by the
Defence of the Realm Act the Brit-
ish. Government by .an Order -in -Coun-
cil decided to take over the control of
the sale and supply of intoxicating
liquors in many districts where war
material is being made and loaded,
unloaded or otherwise dealt with. The
districts affected include the city of
Bristol and surrounding towns, Avon-
mouth, Newhaven, Southampton,
Newport, Cardiff, Barry, Barrow-in-
Furness, Liverpool and adjoining
towns, and most of the munition and,
shipbuilding centres in Yorkshire.

greater portion of their troubles.
They add that a European conflict
has had the effect of complicating
conditions of trade, but contend that
the slowing down of provincial com-
merce may justly be attributed to the
economies British Columbians were
forced to resort to in order to meet
the payments for the real estate they
had purchased long before, in the
'hope of obtaining a prompt and ex-
cessive profit. But it also seems from.
the reports, that the days of disci -
turning out as great a quantity of
munitions the country is capable of
producing.
