Sometlaires Could Hardly
Turn In Bed.
When the back gets so bad and aches
like a "toothache' you may rest assured
that the kidneys are affected in some way.
On the first sign of a backache,, Doan's
Kidney Pills should be taken, and if this
is done immediately you will save your-
self many .years of suffering from serious
kidney trouble.
Mr. J. W. .Fraser, Truro, N.S., writes:
`"- "I have had a lame back for a longtime.
Sometimes I could hardly turn over iu
bed,. ,ut after taking six boxes of Doan's
ICiditey Pills I find that any back is as
strong, . as ever, I can't praise them
enough."

Tomato Canapes. -Canapes of to-
mato are appetizing tidbits relished
before dinner. Tomato canapes are
simple to achieve. ' They may be hot
or cold. The first essential is the
round of fried or toasted bread. For
cold canapes, spread bread round with
mayonnaise, lay on it slice of tomato,
sprinkle tomato with chopped chives
and finish with an anchovy or sprig
of parsley. Chopped cabbage and cel-
ery mixed with French dressing go
well with tomato. Mound in the cen-
tre of tomato and sprinkle with pars-
ley. Caviare and chopped onions in
layers on tomato slices make delicious
canapes. For hot canapes, have the
toast rounds ready. Lay on each
round of toast a ring of tomato, with
centre removed. Fill with mashed,
boned and skinned sardines, seasoned
with lemon juice, and set in oven un-
til hot.
Useful Flints.
Enamelware which has become dis-

CZAR WORLD'S RICHEST MAN.
Owns Many Palaces, Estates, Farms,

In his own light the Czar of all the

In his name stand the titles to
ninety-eight grand palaces, to over

hard the parting would be, so he

to mention the various produce that
may be carried in this way, although
one instance I heard of may bear spe-
cial mention. It was the case of a
farmer who occasionally used his au-

7. Fifty Men -The life of a prophet
was not secure under the reign of
such kings as Ahab and his children.
Men who were 'giving themselves up
to the sacred calling seemingly bound
themselves together in groups and for
the time being lived in retirement.
Such bands are mentioned at other
places also.

10. A hard thing - The Spirit of
God was not in the power of Elijah

himself. Elijah was careful to let
Elisha know that only as he (Elisha)
put himself in close touch with God
could he come into possession of God's
Spirit.

SLEEVELESS BODICES SMART.
Full skirts are undoubtedly grace-
ful and comely, but to get the great-
est possible effect, the design of the
whole skirt must be harmonious. A
feature that combines charmingly
with the full skirt is the sleeveless
bodice, as illustrated herewith in
No. 9033.

marines, a naval lieutenant, two mid-
shipmen, and three sailors, a range
finder, several pairs of glasses, some
telescopes, the eternal voice pipe, and
telephones for speaking to the con-
ning tower, the engine room, the bat-
teries, and the transmitting station.
We are very crowded, and our tem-
pers are ruffled by the heavy rain. A
destroyer is rapidly overhauling us to
lead us in. She is to make a dash up
to the mine field, and we are to cover
her with our fire.
The lieutenant of marines is trying
to pick up ranges on the Asiatic
coast. The two midshipmen, who you
feel ought to be back at school, seem
perfectly happy and contented with
their lot. The three sailors have each
an ear to a telephone and a mouth to
a tube. They seem to be indulging in
a solemn chant that never ceases, and
the only words I can catch are, "Fore-
top to F Battery," "Foretop to X Bat-
tery," "Foretop to A Battery."
We are now well up the strait,and

Where the automobile is to be used
for a variety of uses a simple way
would be to jack up the back wheels
and use a pulley. The pulley would
connect by a belt to a pulley on the
counter -shaft, and belts would run
from the pulleys on the counter -shaft
to the pulley on the corn husker,
churn, emery wheel, feed cutter, etc.
By arranging the sizes of the pulleys
certain speed combinations could be
worked out suitable for the different

CHEAPER AUTOMOBILES.
By C. R. Barns.
The .day when the automobile could
be regarded as the vehicle of the rich
and prosperous exclusively -or when,
if owned by a person of moderate
means, and employed otherwise than
in some regular business, its posses-
sion was held to indicate spendthrift
habits -is rapidly passing away.
The Multiplication of great estab-
lishments for the .manufacture of au-
tomobiles has proceeded so rapidly
and the number of machines turned
out by them annually has become so
vast, that the "upper ten" in society
can no longer afford a sufficient mar-
ket for the product; and manufactur-
ers are turning their eyes toward the
"middle thousands," There, after all,
in supplying the needs of the fanners
and middieclass townsmen, they are
to find, hereafter, their largest re-
wards.
A Moderate Figure.
One great multi -millionaire corpora-
tion in the United States already an-
nounces for sale a "thoroughly capa-
ble" guaranteed car, rubber tired, and -
"with a power plant that will run
$350-a figure which

approximates the cost of a good
"horse and buggy"' such as almost
every farmer has looked upon as en-
tirely within his means. It is practi-
cally certain that the rivalry between
manufacturers will lead to the imme-
diate offering of even better cars for
the same money, or of similar ones
for a lower price.
The farmer, then, finds himself now
the heir and beneficiary of one of the
most beneficial and revolutionary in-
ventions of the age. He is to be the
beneficiary of all the experimentation
which has been done, at the expense
of the rich, in perfecting and develop-
ing the "auto." The "devil -wagon,"
which he has been wont to call the.
swift machine which scared his horses
and made the roads so often unsafe
for him, is transformed by the pro-
gress of manufacturing ingenuity in-
to the vehicle of a good genius, with
which -if he cannot, like Puck, "put a
girdle round the earth in 40 minutes,"
-he can at least hie to his market
town and get home again in minutes
where it before took hours.
It will also enable him to do an
amount of pleasure -travelling, inde-
pendently of the railroads, such as
was before a practical impossibility.
It will also by practically bringing
the farm closer to the market -and
by giving in many cases a choice of
markets -tend greatly to increase the
value of outlying farms.
It was entirely natural that manu-
facturers should first cater to the
class having the most money to spend,
and that they should bend their ener-
gies to the production of vehicles
which would from the pockets of that
class, for the time being, extract the
largest prices. But now that they
turn to the "market of the millions,"
they will find its opportunities incom-
parably greater than those afforded
by "the market of the select few."
UNDER FIRE IN THE FORETOP.
Pen Picture of an Engagement at the
Dardanelles.
To be one of the small group to oc-
cupy the foretop or control station of
a British battleship during an engage-
ment at the Dardanelles was the privi-
lege of a correspondent of the London
Times.
I find myself, he writes, in a small
oblong chamber of thin steel, which :
would not even keep out a bullet fired
at close range. It is open all round
at the top, and has a similar thin

if she had a bad pain. She is engag-
ed in putting the enemy off their aim.
One moment she steams slowly ahead,
a shell drops astern of her, and she
shoots off at full speed toward the
Asiatic coast, when another drops in
front, which sends her scooting to-
ward the European side. She is no
sooner over there than a battery on
that side drops one quite close, where-
upon she turns suddenly in her own
length, and dashes back toward us,
which brings the enemy's fire just
ahead of our ship. That sends her
straight ahead again, and so she
goes, from side to side, up and down,
twisting and turning, dancing about
like a mad dervish.
All this time our six-inch guns are
blazing away at both shores, the gun-
ners firing at the flashes of the en-
emy's guns. At length the destroyer
has accomplished her mission, for she
turns and dashes past us down the
strait. The shells scream overhead.
You imagine that each is coming di-
rect into the foretop, buts they all miss
and either burst short or in the water
beyond. Slowly and majestically we
turn and follow the destroyer down
to the entrance.
When we clear the strait the crews
are allowed up from their stations.
The ship springs into life once more.
Portholes are opened, the skylights
removed, and the deckrail replaced.
We sit down to an excellent luncheon,
and in the afternoon resume our old
struggle at deck quoits.
Peeling Onions for Living.
The profession of onion peeling is
not one that obtains much notice, yet
there are at least 500 women in the
east end of London earning their liv
ing by removing the skins of onions.
With practice, they can make 80 cents
to a dollar a day, Very often they
have been peeling since childhood,.
daughters succeeding mothers. It is
not a profession you can learn in one
lesson, for the skin must be removed
by hand, or the anion "juices" and is
no use for pickling, The onions are
always peeled in water. This is not
to save the eyes of the peeler, but is
done to keep the onion white.

Attacks of cholera morbus are caused
mostly by indiscretion in dict, the use
of unripe fruit and new vegetables, and
usually occur during the bot simmer
months.
On the first sign of this very weakening
trouble Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild
Strawberry should be taken.
Mrs. George Lee, Ruthven, Ont.,
writes: "I was taken with cholera
morbus, and I was so bad I could not
sit up any more than five; minutes at a
time. My husband said I looked as if X

THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY.
A man protesting against error is

scouting it usually carries two men.
One is the pilot, who runs and steers
the craft; the other is the observer,
who marks the placing of the hostile
troops, the position of their guns, the
movement of trains, etc. The ob-
server also makes many sketches of
the ground over which he is flying -
work that often interferes with his
writing notes and memoranda. In cer-
tain conditions of flight, too, it is of-
ten hard for hind to use a pencil and
paper.
To obviate that difficulty the mili-
tary aeroplane now frequently carries
a phonograph, with a speaking tube
running to the mouth of the observer,
so that by talking into the machine at
any time during the flight he can re-
cord his observations and still have
his hands free for his field glass or his
sketching pencil.

CllillbIfrn's Heart and Nerve PW$
Entirely Cured Her
Mrs. Wm. McElwain, Temperance
Vale, N.B., writes: "I ata not much of a
believer in medicines, but I must say
Miiburn's Heart and Nerve Pills are all
right.
Some years ago I was troubled with
smothering spells. In the night I would
be sound asleep but would waken up with
ray breath all gone and think I never
would get it back. I was telling a
friend of my trouble, and he advised ire
to try Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills,
He also gave me a box which I tried, and
I had only taken a few of them when I
could sleep alt night without any trcuble.
I did not finish the box until some years
after when I felt nay trouble coning
back, so I took the rest of thein and they
ectircly cured tne,"
