The Exeter Advocate, 1916-7-27, Page 7GOOD RICH BLOOD MEANS GOOD HEALTH Just a Little More Rich, Red Blood Cures Most Ailments. The lack of sufficient rich, red blood does not end merely in a pale complexion. It is much more seri- ous. Bloodless people are tired, lan- guid, run-down folk who do not en- joy life.- Food does not nourish; there's indigestion, heart palpitation, headache, backache and nearly al- ways nervousness. If this blood- lessness is neglected too long, a de- cline is sure to follow. Just a little more rich, red blood cures all these troubles. Then you have new health, new vitality and pleasure in life. To get more rich, red blood the remedy is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. No other medicine increases and enriches the blood so quickly or so surely. This is not a mere claim. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done this over and over again and that is why thousands of people always have a good word to say for this medicine. Miss Gertrude Haffner, Kingston, Ont., says:—"About two years ago I was suffering greatly with anae- mia, so much so that X had to give up my situation. I became so weak that I could scarcely walk without help. I had no ambition, no color, no appetite and was constantly troubled with headaches and dizzy. spells. I was taking medicine from the doctor, but it did not do me a particle of good. One day a friend asked me if I had tried Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, Though as the result of my condition I was greatly discour- aged, I began the use of the Pills, and thanks to that good friend's ad- vice after using a few boxes I began to feel much better. Under the con- tinued use of the pills I gained in weight, my color came back, and I grew gradually stronger. I looked so much better that people would ask me what I was taking and I had no hesitation in giving the credit to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I am so grateful for what this medicine has done for me that I will do all I can to extend its use." You can get these pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. FOOD PRICES IN GERMANY. Table Shows War Increase—Butter 'Over 66 Cents a Pound. Food stuffs are getting more and more costly in Germany! According to the statistical office prices of some foods have trebled. No figures are given on the price of different kinds of meat, cheese, far- inaceous foods and so on. There are other products also of which no re- port has been given for more than a year. The variation of prices of different articles since the war began is shown in the table below. The prices are given in so many pfennig per pound; 100 pfennig is equivalent to about 24 ants.

Some Wonderful Examples of the Strength of the Mighty Deep, If war were not filling every page of every newspaper, we should have been thrilled by descriptions of the awful storm which recently swept across the West Indies and the Gulf of Mexico, says London Answers. Galveston, the great cotton port, was turned into an island, and the McClellan, a large army transport steamer of some six thousand tons, was lifted by one gigantic wave and set down half a mile inland, where she now lies high and dry. Unless you have been in a storm at sea—or, rather, out in the ocean—it is impossible to imagine the strength of the enormous rollers. These green hills of water, crested with snowy foam, are sometimes forty feet high, and the distance between one crest and the next as much as a quarter of a mile. Such waves travel at a speed of between thirty and forty miles an 'hour. 350 Feet Above Sea -Level. These huge ocean waves, disporting themselves on top of water two or three miles deep, are not dangerous unless a ship be driven into them. It is when they come crashing into shoal water that they pile themselves up into real mountains and achieve such extraordinary feats of power.. Near the Eddystone Lighthouse the sea is 200 fathoms, or 1,200 feet, deep. Within a little distance this decreases to thirty fathoms. Here storm -waves heap up into real mountains of solid water fully one hundred feet in height. In a westerly gale the Atlantic breaks with incredible force on the huge, bare cliffs of the Irish coast. Here Lord Dunraven has actually e such bombardment would have been called for; the rising would have been nipped in the bud,) Not merely are the streets destroyed, but so are the money -making and employment giving businesses that were carried on there. And some of the tokene of Dublin's claim to be a national metro- polis, the marks of her civilization, are gone likewise. Her Royal Hibern- ian Academy, which had just been holding its annual exhibition of pic- tures, looks with its skeleton walls and its battered friezes like a building in Pompeii—or perhaps like the Library of Louvain. HOW TO CREATE AN ESTATE. The Way a Man May Have Something When. Old Age Creeps Upon Him. As a means of preventing poverty and as a method by which families deprived by death of the providing member may not become objects of charity, there has never in the world been anything devised which equals the power for good as a well-manag- ed life insurance company. Life insurance as developed to -day is of the greatest economic value, It is the bonding together of many men, and the paying in of certain auras by each, to minimize the financial loss experienced by other members of the co The Surnmer " Life - Savers" are fruit, cereals and green vegetables. Meat in Summer overtaxes the liver and kidneys, potatoes cause intestinal fermenta- tion. Get away from the heavy Winter diet; give Nature a chance.

The Bishop's Rock lies between the Scillies and Land's End, and is expos- ed to the full force of the winter gales. At the top of the massive tower there used to be a great bell, used for warn- ing in fogs. In one storm a wave washed this bell clean away and cov- ered the upper gallery with sand. This gallery is just one hundred feet above ordinary high -tido. The greatest waves—apart from the true earthquake wave—are those caus- ed by cyclones or circular stormG. In such a storm the barometer may be lower by three inches in the centre of the storm than at its edge. The con- sequence of this tremendous reduction of pressure is that the sea in the vor- tex rises high above the usual level, and in this way are produced waves of appalling size and height. It was a wave of this type which, in the dreadful cyclone of 1876, swept upon the mouth of the Ganges, and drove in over an area the size of De- vonshire. By marks upon the trees it was ascertained that this great wall of salt water rolled in forty-five feet high. Tho damage done was appalling and more than one hundred thousand unfortunate natives were drowned. Carried Over the Tree -Tops. Ono of the worst hurricanes of which we have any record was that which swept Karatonga, in the Pacific Ocean, in the year 1846. Believe it or not, a vessel from Tohiti was lifted by the great wave, carried over the tops of the palm -trees, and dropped far in- land. The captain, who survived, de- posed on oath that he felt the tree- tops grating against the schooner's timbers as she was swept along on the crest of this monstrous roller! , The greatest of ordinary wind - waves are seen in the so-called "Roar- ing Forties," south of Cape Horn. They rise to forty-six feet. The Bay of Biscay deserves its bad name, for there waves thirty-six feet high have been measured. In the North Sea waves do not exceed fourteen feet, but they are steep and very dangerous, while in the Mediterranean fifteen feet seems to be the limit. DUBLIN'S PITIFUL RUINS, Fairest and Richest Part of City is in Condition of 'Rheims. The fairest and the richest part of Dublin, the centre of its 'life, is in the condition of Ypres or Rheims. The stately thoroughfare in which it justly took pride as . one of the finest in Europe is a desert of hideous ruins, and acres of the hand- some business streets surrounding it, hives of stirring commerce, are simply obliterated. This is the. work chiefly ` of bombardment and of con- flagrations started by bombardment.

Velpeau, the great French surgeon, successfully performed a serions operation on a little child. The mo- ther, overjoyed, called at the sur geon's office, and saki: "Monsieur, my elitist's life is saved, and I do not know how to express my gratitude to you. Allow me, however, to present you this ;pocket -book em- broidered by my own hands." The great surgeon smlied sarcasti- cally. "Madame," he said, " Iny art is not merely a matter of feeling. My life has its necessities, like yours. Al- low me, therefore, to decline your charming present, and to request some more substantial remuneration," "But, monsieur," asked the woman. "what remuneration do you desire?" "Five thousand francs." The lady quietly opened the pocket- book, which contained ten notes of one thousand francs each, counted out five of them and, politely handing them to the amazed physician, retired with the remainder.

Accord-„ ing to the Iron Age, the hot gases cause a thin film of steel to absorb heat. The film expands and becomes set. Upon the release of the pressure, it contracts, which causes minute cracks that grow larger with every dis- charge. As they increase in size they form passageways for mare hot gas, and that tends to enlarge them still further, The inner surface thus be- comes roughened, and the bands be- gin to corrode. Finally, the bore be- comes so enlarged that it allows the gases to escape. The shell does not then acquire its proper rotation, and its flight becomes erratic. All guns except small ones are now construct- ed with linings in the tube which, when the bore is worn out, are removed and replaced by new ones, The cost of relining a gun is approximately 30 per cent. of the cost of the gun. There appears to be no limit to the number of times that a gun can be relined. The small arms are considered to be worn out after 5,000 to 7,500 rounds have been fired. Small naval guns can be fired about 1,000 times before they are regarded as worn out. Large twelve - inch and fourteen -inch naval guns are considered to have a life, on one lin- ing, of from 150 to 200 rounds. Low- velocity guns, such as howitzers and mortars, have correspondingly longer lives than, high -velocity guns of the same calibre,because the pressures they develop, and hence the tempera- tures, are lower.
