A.dclregsa him; at 8paddaa 13otrss, fo Cruet, Toronto The death rate from cancer is not increasing for males up to: 45 years 1 of age and for females up to 60. The most rapid increase is occuring in ex- treme old age. The painlessness of cancer in its early stages is one of, the most insidi- ous dangers since it leads the patient to' delay in seeking medical advice. Were cancer as painful in its early` stages as toothache there would be fewer of these pitiful cases in which the patient first seeks advice when, the cancer has reached a stage,b'eyond all but, pallative treatment. •.Medical advice should' besought at once should a lump : be found in the breast, if an ulcerated condition exists. Hp o . which does on the tongue,, >, skin not heal in a few days, if there is, persistent hoarseness, if a mole or wart shows a ,tendency to grow, if blood or mucus , passed assed ; with the stools, if there is bloody or offensive discharge at: other than the normal monthly periods, especially' at the change of life or after it has passed. Even with the greatest care and skill doubtful cases occur; but only after careful medical examination can it be. decided whether such conditions are or are not indicative of cancer, and those who seek advice in these ' circum- stances are taking a wise course quite apart from cancer possibilities. An abnormality.' is there and whatever it is due to it should be treated and not nursed', in secret. The' statement is repeated' that pro- longed irritation is the cause, but all tissues are not equally liable. The palm of the hand is probably in the deeper parts than in the nipple. Some tissues show a special liability such as the skin of the face, lips, insides of cheeks, g ` ton ue lower part : of the �, bowel and neck of the womb. TROUBLES TEETHING •Baby's ,teething time is a time of worry and'anxiety to most mothers. The little ones become cross; peevish; their little stomach becomesderanged and constipation and colic sets in. To make the teething period easy on baby the stomach and bowels must be kept sweet and regular. This can be done by "the use of Baby's Own Tablets- the ideal laxative for little ones. The Tablets are a sure relief for all.the minor ailments of childhood such as constipation, colic, indigestion,; colds' and simple. fevers. They always do, good -never harm. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Survivors of the great earthq uake.in Japan who arrived in Vancouver, Bri- tish Columbia, about;. the middle ° of September, gave graphic accounts of what they had witnessed of the awful results of the catastrophe. But in.the Midst of the widespread sorrow at the terrible loss '• of life Canadians must feel some gratification that their fel- low countrymen and fellow citizens of the Empire were among the first to give their help where,' it was needed. One of the despatches was to this ef- fect: "Officers and men of the Canadian ship Empress of Australia'were par- ticularly commended far their courage and calm efficiency." This also is worthy' of note: "The most impressiYe sightof the whole experience was furnished by. a British .cruiser, which came racing in from -God knows where, and went- straight entstraight where she was most needed," declared, Arthur Jackson, who is ac- companied by his wife." "We passed" her while on the rescue ship bound for Kobe. She flew past us at the rate of 35 miles an hour. She missed being the first warship at the scene of the disaster by a few minutes, a Japanese ship,beating her by a narrow margin,". The same old British navy, whose. rescuing destroyers during the great war seethed to come suddenly from no- where to give their aid wherever need- ed, still rides ready, as kind and im- partial and humane as she is dauntless in the face of danger. _ s A Man -Made Niagara. Ai antic waterfall that will g g rival Niagara, is now being constructed in the Swiss Alps, near 'Martigny. Itis at an altitudes of over ,200 ft. and is, designed to supply',eie,6ctric power, for the federal railways of Switzerland. The scheme- also provides for malt- ing a huge dam across the noted Bar- berine'cascade, thus forming a vast artificial lake of about forty million cubic yards. 'The height of this dain will be the same as that of Niagara, namely 262 ft., and it wil have a total. length of 818 -ft. The total cost of the undertaking ' is estimated at nearly two and a half million pounds ateriing, but the benefits, to be derived from the power generated by the falls will . it is calculated, repay this sum in a Pow months." It isho ped to complete the p p scheme with three years. The installation will then becaable of�supplyingsuf- ficient electric power to run the entire Swiss railway system,` which at pre- sent Is largely: dependent on foreign. coal. ORPHANED BY THE JAPANESE DISASTER Nine -months old Baby Nicoll is one of the many little British refugees who have arrived in Vancouver since the great earthquake in Japan two months ago. For 36 hours she lay without food or shelter on the Bluff at Yokohama.until she was discovered by rescue parties and eventually restored to her f rtoCanada on the "Em- athe , H. R. Nicoll, With whom she travelled Canada •press of Russia." Mr. Nicoll's wife and other' daughter were lost during the disaster. STOMACH . TROUBLE BLE 0MAC !i �j T THIN Tt Usually Disappears When the Blood is Made . Rich and Red. • Thin blood is one of the most com- mon causes of stomach trouble. It affects the digestion very quickly. The glands that furnish the digestive fluids are diminished in their activity, the stomach muscles are Weakened-; and there is a loss of nerve force. In this state of health nothing will more quick- ly restore the appetite, digestion and normal nutrition than good, rich, red, blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act directly. on the blood, making it rich and red, and this enriched blood strengthens weak nerves, -stimulates tired muscles and awakens' to normal activity the glands that supplythe digestive fluids. This is sh'o'wn by an improved a ppe tite, and soon the effect of these blood enriching pills is evident throughout the whole'eystem. You find that what you eat does •not distresS-'yeu, and that you are vigorous instead of ir- ritable and listless. If your appetite is fickle, if you have any of the dis- tressing pains and symptoms. of indi- gestion, you should.' at once take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. and profit by the better condition in which they will put Your blood. These pilisare'sold by all dealers in medicine, oryoucan get them by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. 6 - Hunting by Aeroplane. An interesting aerial development has taken place in Spain, where aviat- ors have been hunting birds. The principal victim of these hunts is, the great bustard, a bird found in large numbers fn Southern•Europe, Bustards fly in flocks of eight or ten, and the average weight of each bfrd is about 351b. • Owing to the fact that they are ex tremely timid and can fly very quickly, bustards have always been difficult to hunt on land; so the novel idea of shooting them from aeroplanes was hit upon Sometimes the aviators follow the birds until they drop from sheer ex- haustion, but another method : is to shoot at them from the machines as they rise from the ground. To hit the -birds while the machine is rushing through, the air requires considerable ;skill, as the hunter is- hampered by thelimited range of the gun, clue to the many struts and wires' on the aeroplane. However,' many bus- tards have been shot in this way. ;e Gracey? A gentleman was taking a class at. the village 'school, and asked: "Can anyone give a definition of . the word 'grace'.?" There was a moment's pause, then onesmart youth exclaimed: "Please, sor,:. it's 'fat °out, o' the mato.' Verdict a Cure.
