HEALTH HiNTS. Apples should bo eaten to stimulate the brain, In cases of poison warm water with salt in large quantities forms a quick emetic. A headache can often bo relieved by rubbing the temples with a slice of lem- on. In extreme prostration, a small quan- tity of extractof meat In a glass 1f sherry or claret Is a good restorative. A simple remedy for insomia Is to dip n serviette or handkerchief in cold water, wring it out, and lay A across the eyes. Eating lettuce produces sleep. A cup of cold water, with a teaspoon- ful of salt, taken upon rising in the morning, will act as an excellent tonic and is far toss trying on the system than any drug. Calcium, so important for children in the formation of bone, may be obtained 1v the eating of eggs, rice rhubarb, whole wheat, and the drinking of milk. An irritating cough is often caused by Itu uvkln (the fleshy, conical body sus- pended from the palate over the back of the tongue) being enlarged: When this Is the case, consult the doctor, as medicines and gargles only temporar- ily check the annoyance. Atter bad food, the next greater cause of disease is lank of exercise. Specific cases require specific treatment always, but iL is safe to say that a walk of three miles each day in all weathers is the least amount upon which health can be Me in Wined. Sugar makes heat, and also gives mltsenla' energy. In times of great ex- ertion, the rapidity with which it is as- similated gives sugar a great advantage over starchy foods. Sugar should he used sparingly by one who has a torpid liver, and not at all by one affected with diabetes, REGULAR EXERCISE. Diet and exercise will reduce your weight if you persist. Do you exercise until you perspire profusely? And do you abstain from all sweets, cereals, stench vegetables, butter, cheese, milk, and chocolate, also pork, veal, salmon and hearty soups? In general, avoid fatty, starchy, and sweet foods. Don't be discouraged. You will eucceed un- less there is same serious reason for your stoutness. '_ DANGERS OF MEAT. Once a day is quite enough for the average woman who has reached the age of forty to eat meat. Most women eat far loo much as they got on In years and asa result lose their complexions and their figure. HAIR RESTORATIVE.

Special Cart is Being Introduced by Lord Kitchener. The "Kitchener soup cart" is likely to become an important feature of the Indinn Army. its abject Is the provision of hot beef tea for soldiers on the march and in the firing line, and. It Is now being tested by order of Lord Kitchener In the command of Gen. 11, A. P. Cle- ments al Sirhind. The cart has been adapted from e Russian pattern which was used In Manchuria. For men who lie exposed in trenches it will prove a great blessing, providing a welcome change to the cold timed rations which frequently form their staple food. On the march the soup boiler tbit simmer away, ready for the first long halt, and on resting for the day, a pint of beef tea will be ready at once, thus allnwing the cooks ample time to pre- pare a full evening meal. Lord Kitchener is experimenting with many forms of equipment and gear used by the belligerents in the Far Eastern campaign, including the Japanese am- munition carier the Austrian field tele-' hone and the German systemof p wire- less telegraphy. ---4 DEEP BREATIHING. No woman can have bright eyes, a beautiful skin, or an elastic step, if she dnes not supply her lungs with oxygen. She can do this by deep breathing, The indolent woman regains her lost energy when she learns hew to breathe cor- rectly. The sallow girl, with the dark circles around the eyes, discovers that with correct breathing the congested veins will yield to the stimulated afrcd- taLion, the dark rings disappear, and the lustre reappear in the eyes. 4 BABY'S HEALTH. "When a child is well, give it no med- icine," Is a wholesome adage But at the first sign of trouble the careful mo- ther will give Baby's Own Tablets, which promptly cure indigestion, colic, con- stipation, diarrhoea, simple fevers and teething troubles. They contain not one particle of opiate or poisonous "sooth- ing" stuff, yet they give refreshing sleep because they remove the cause of sleeplessness and the child awakens bright and well. Mrs. F. McIntosh, \Vabigoon, Ont., says: "Baby's Own Tablets wrought a wonderful change In my little one. When he was two months old he began to fail and cried almost night and day. But atter giving him the tablets he grew well and is now o blight, laughing baby, who scarcely ever gives any trouble The Tablets are surely a blessing to both mother and child." All druggists sell these. Tablets or you can get them by mail at 25 cents o box by writing the Dr. Williams' Med- icine Co., Brockville, Ont. WHAT CAN Y0U REMEMBER? With but few exceptions, there have in recent years been no extraordinary -MOO ,figroalruutoa 8ujAvgi woo JO MOO voted mammies. Probably the mosLun- usual case on record was that of Leo- nard Euler, a Russian teacher end writ- er. More than half of the forty-six quarto volumes of mathematics publish- ed by the St. Petersburg Academy be- tween 1727 and 1783 were from his pen in the latter years of his life he was to- tally blind. Then—and probably earli- er, too -he carried in his memory a table of the ilrst six powers of the "series of natural numbers up to one hundred." Another instance is that of the Italian, Antonio Mogllabeechi, who was the literary prodigy of his timb. His memory was soprodigious that he was able to retain verbatim most of the contents of his "multitudinous books," and a comparatively recent writer has declared that IvMagllabecehl "could name all the authors who hadwritten upon nny subject, giving the name of the book, the words, and often the page." Ben Johnson, So/diger, Niebuhr, and Macaulay all were men of marvelous memories. Pascal says he never forgot anything that he rend. Ben Johnson tells us that be could repeat al) he had ever .written "and Whole books" that he had read. The same feat, too, is credited to Niebuhr, the historian. "You've madea mletake in your pa. per," said an indignant man, entering the editorial sanctum of a daily kernel, '1 Was one of the competitors at tint Mh1cUc main yesterday, and you have eats] me 'tie well-known light -weight champion.'""Weill aren't you?" in. tplired 1.110 editor, "No, I'm nearing of the kind, and its confoundedly awkward because 1471 a Mei nleldhaotl" IrfESfl BREAD FOR JACiK TAILS. British Battleships Will Ito Furnished With Bakeries, The various changes In connection with the cooking arrangements of the Royal Navy, announced some months since, are about to materialize, Not only is the gigantic battleship, the Dreadnought, to be fitted with u bakery In addition to her regular galley, but there Is to be an ail -round general introduction of "soft tack" into the sea service. The weevily biscuits of Trafalgar days have long disappeared, Now the khalif - colored, flint -like squares which go by the name of ship's bread are to go also, and Jack Is to have hot rolls for break- fast, dinner and supper, whether In har- bor or at sen. Great Britain has tagged considerably behind other sea powers in thus feeding her bluejackets on fresh bread, As to the quality of the food In the British fleet, the statement in the Blue Book on the health of the navy that 13,000 men were medically treated for Indigestion during 1904 awakens certain misgivings. Naval doctors, however, say this is due to the fact chat the blue- jackets aro overfed nowadays. "There was a serious love-affalr on be- tween Jinx and the Minx girl when 1 was her last."

Was so Crippled That He Could Hardly Get Around and Could Get no Relief tram Doctors or Medicines. Dresden, Ont., Jan, 22—(Special.)— "Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me of Rheu- matism slick and clean." Mr. W. G. Gregg, the well-known merchant and ex -reeve of this place was the speaker and be evidently meant every word be said. "It was the lnflamatory kind of Rheu- matism 1 had, and 1t crippled me up so that I could hardly get around to do my work in my store. 1 had the best doctors and everything in the line of medicines 1 could hear of, but nothing even gave me relief. "Then i tried Dodd's Kidney Pills and six boxes cured me completely." Dodd's Kidney Pills cure Rheumatism by curing the Kidneys. Rheumatism is caused by Urlc Acid in the blood. If the Kidneys are right they will strain all the Uric Acid out of the blood and the Rheumatism will go with it. SENTENCE SERMONS. Fear is a poor kind of foresight. Every word of profanity is a prayer. Love lasts long after ntty is worn out, Little duties are a school for Larger ones. A tittle modesty often hides a lot of vanity. Ile refects ail rewards who refuses moral responsibility. The login of love convinces more than the love of logic. A golden heart Is not galned by sot - ting the heart on gold. Many a elan is breaking his bank un- der a bag of shadows. Getting on to the ropes of trickery ends in getting into them. No man pays more for a thing than he who seeks it for nothing. Thera Is a remedy for ignorance but none for knowing too much. The Judge may not ask what you have done by why you did IL. Morals to .meny mean only a chance to meddle in other people's affairs. The man who carries a family bible under his arm may carry none in his heart. People who try to get billed to riches on the short line Bnd themselves routed through to ruin. Happy is the man who has a friend who loves htm enough to be willing to seem to be his enemy. It is a good thing to remember that your celestial standing does not depend on your terrestrial tailor. Money has a mighty persuasive tongue but a sadly deficient hand wheh it comes to delivering the goods. Even the man who denounoes capital as a curse never objects if the curse comes home to roost. THE LITTLE 'WIDOW. A Mighty Good Sort of Neighbor to Have. "A little widow, a neighbor of mina, persuaded lie to try Grape -Nuts when my stomach was so weak that it would not retain food of any other kind," writes a grateful woman, 11'oln San Bonnard- filo Co., Cal. '1 had been 111 and confined to my bed with fever and nervous prostration for three long months after the birth of my second bay. We were in despair until the little widow's advice brought relief. "1 liked Grape -Nuts food from the beginning, and In an incredibly short time • it gave me such strength that 1 was able to leave my bed and enjoy my three good meals a day. In two months my weight increased from 95 to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied down and I felt ready for anything. My neighbors were amazed to gee me galn so rapidly anti still more so when they heard that Grape -Nuts alone had brought the change. "My four-year•old boy had eczema, Very bad, last spring and lost his appe- tite entrely, which made him cross and peevish. 1 put him on a diet of Grape- Nuta, which he relished . at once.
