Was The Cause; The Core Was
Norway Pie Syrup.
Mre, Garnet Burns, North Augueta,
Ont., writes:. "I caught a dreadful cull,
1going to town, and about a week after
I became 41 choked up, and could hardly
breathe, and could ,car;:ely sleep at
night for coughing. I went to the
doctor, and he told me that I teas t cttn
bronchitis. • My husban:l went tr, tree
druggists, and asked them if they had e
cough medicine of any kind that they
could recommend. The druggist brought
out a bottle of Dr, Wood's Norway fisc
Syrup. I started using it, and it cone
pletely cured me of my cold. I cannot
tell you how thankful I was to get rid of
that awful nasty cold. I shall always
keep a bottle of Dr. Wood's Norway Pine
Syrup on hand, and I shall only be too
glad to recommend it to all others."
Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup is a
remedy that has been on the market for
the past twenty-five years, and we can
recommend it, without a doubt, as being
the best cure for coughs and colds that
you can possibly procure.
There are a lot of imitations on the
market, so when you go to your druggist
or dealer sec that you get " Dr. Wood's;"
put up in a yellow Wrapper; three pine
trees the trade mark; the price, 25c and
60e.

MACHINE GUN "DESERTED"
Italian Lad Decorated as Result of
Unique Adventure.
How a machine gun was forced to
desert the German army is recounted
in the story of the heroism of a 16 -
year -old Italian volunteer in the Rus-
sian army—Constantine Zepolli—
whose part as the loading figure in
the episode earned one of the two St,
George crosses he has won.
Overhearing his commander ex-
pressing .a wish that some one "would
silence or capture"- a gun which was
stationed at troublesome proximity
to the Russian trenches, Zapolli, on
his own initiative, crawled on his
stomach for a hundred yards, located
the position of the gun, returned
from the danger zone and conferred
his trench fellows, and crept forth
once more, this time dragging a coil
of stout rope. Reaching the gun, he
tied one end around it without being
discovered, and again reached his own
lines, with the free end of the rope in
his clutch.
Presently the Germans were aston-
ished to observe the gun disappearing
toward the Russian trenches. It was
successfully dragged from their pos-
session, a number of Germans being
killed in an effort to prevent its de-
parture.
Horseflesh Eaten in Hungary.
Horseflesh and dogflesh are com-
monly eaten by the lower classes in
Hungary because of the food scarcity.
There are three meatless days a
week, and substitutes for meat, such
as rice, are very scarce. The action
of Germany in clearing Hungary of
corn and flour earlier in the War caus-
ed a dearth from which the country
has never recovered. It also caused
much bitterness against Germany.
Her Own Handiwork.
Wife (angrily—"I think you're the
meanest man that ever was."
Hub—"That's hard on yourself, my
dear. According to your mother, you
have been the making of me."
Town Visitorto farmer whose
chickens he has been admiring)—"I
suppose you hatched all these chickens
yourself ?" Farmer—"Oh, no; we
keep hens for that purpose."
Mr. Slicer—"I was reading the oth•
er day that there are eight hundred
ways of cooking potatoes," Mrs
Slicer --"Yes ?" "Mr. Slicer—"Well,
my dear, don't you think that if you
tried hard you could learn one of

Heart Would Boat Violently.
Nerves Seemed to Be Out of Order.
The heart always works in sympathy
with the nerves, and unless the heart is
working properly the whole nerve system
is liable to become unstrung, and the
heart itself become affected.
Milburn's I•Ieart and Nerve Pills will
4 build up the unstrung nervous system,
and strengthen the weak heart, so that
the sufferer will enjoy the very best of
health for years to come.
hies. John -def. Hicks, Iluntsville, Ont.,
writes: "I am sending you my testimony
for the benefit I have received from using
Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills. As a
nerve and heart builder they have done
wonders for tie. At times my heart
would beat violently, and my nerves
seemed to be all out of order, but after
using a few boxes of Milburn's Heart and
Nerve Pills I feel like recommending
them to others that they might receive
benefit as I did."
Milburn's 'Heart and Nerve Pills have
been on the market.,for the past,twenty-
ve years, and are universally considered
to be unrivalled as a medicine for, all
daorc:ers of the heart or nerves.

Some Ways of Saving..
By this time the are all of us more
or less familiar with advice on the
subject of economy and do not need
reminding to use up odds and ends of
bread in puddings and to save vege-
table peelings for stock.
But there are many little ways of
saving not generally known or. apt to
be regarded as too trivial to matter.
However, nothing is too unimportant
to count in these days, and even frac-
tions of cents soon meld up into dollars. o
It is surprising what a lot of waste g
gu:tt on if yeti' try. to hurry your coait-
}it",
Milk puddings, for instance, should
always be cooked slowly, because if
milk is cooked quickly it wastes by
evrnoratio'n. The sante rile applies

Most of the moisture may be re-

it is not always economy to cook

cook that if you are cooking an a

MUNICIPAL SANITATION.
Proper Facilities for Destruction of
Refuse Should be Provided.
A garbage "dump" is a disgrace to ;
any city or town. Of what advantage
is it bo remove the numerous private
rubbish -heaps to build up a gigantic
communal rubbish -heap? Is the un-;
sightliness or the dangerous filthiness
in. any .wise reduced by piling all the!
refuse into rine vast, festering, dis-
ease-breeding•maass? It may be some
advantage to- those parts of the town
remota from the dump, but only at
the expense of same other portion of
the city and it is grossly unfair. No
true citizen from d high-class residen-
tial district could feel satisfied if the
cleanliness of his particular portion of
the town were achieved by the ubter
spoiling of some other portion. Any
man who is proud of his city would
feel as much shame that there should
be a filthy civic backyard as. thab his
own backyard should be dirty. The
only satisfactory method of removing
refuse is to barn it in an incinerator
or, failing that, to have it buried.
