A SPRING TONIC
FOR WEAK PEOPLE
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Act On
the Blood and Nerves.
Food is as important to the sick per-
son as medicine, more so in many
cases. A badly chosen diet may re-
tard recovery. In health the natural
appetite is the best guide to tallow;
in sickness the appetite is often fickle
and depraved.
Proper food and a good tonic will
keep most people in good health, Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills are a fine tonic
medicine, harmless and certain in
their action, which is to build up the
blood and restore vitality to the run-
down system. For growing girls who
are thin and pale, for pale, tired wo-
men, and for old people who fail in
strength, Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills are
an ideal tonic. Thousands have testi-
lied to the benefit derived from the
use of this medicine. Among them is
Mrs. William Gallia Hantsport, N.S.,
who says: "Before I began the use
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I was so
weak and run down that I could hardly
do my owe work. I often suffered
from headaches and was very nerv-
ous, I then began the use of Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills and I can truthfully
say I have found theta the best medi-
cine I have ever taken. You may de-
pend upon it I will advise other suf-
ferers to take these pills."
You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
through any dealer in medieine or by
mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for
$2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine
Co., Brockville, Ont.

KING SOLOMON'S
MINE UNCOVERED
DISCLOSING SPLENDORS
OF AN AGE LONG PAST.
British Archaelogists Explor-
ing This Most Interesting of
All Relics of Antiquity.
Explorers backed by British money
are digging ui the ruins of King Solo -
neon's ancient citadel in South Africa,
the centre of the mining district from
which his huge stores of gold were de-
rived. They aro the most mysterioue,
as we'll as the most interesting of all
memorials of autinquity, and are
known to -day, in the native language,
as the Great Zimbabwe—meaning
"Here Is the Great Kraal."
The Great Zimbabwe was in Solo-
mon's time a large and populous city,
as may be judged by the fact that its
recognizable ruins cover an area of
more than three square miles. Doubt-
less its extent was much greater, inas-
much as outside of this area are scat-
tered remains of many important
structures, and mounds hundreds of
yards in circumference which have
been found to contain conical towers,
traces of walls, etc.
The city was formidably fortified,
and must have been garrisoned by re-
giments of troops. ln the iniddle of
it rose an isolated granite "kopje" two
hundred and fifty feet high, which was
crowned by a fortress. The latter was
probably in its day the mightiest
stronghold in the world, an uns.ssail-
able citadel, its south side being de-
fended by ninety feet a sheer preci-
pice, while massive labyrinthine walls
rendered approach to the summit pos-
sible only through marrow passages
easily blocked.
The mines of King Solomon were
worked by a multitude of captive
Negro slaves, and all of the gold out-
put was brought to the Great Zimbab-
we to be converted into ingots for
shipment. It was thence that cara-
vans departed eastward for the sea-
port now called sofala, a journey of
two hundred miles, carrying, under
armed guard, gold, ivory, and other
precious merchandise destined for
Palestine and Arabia.
Jewellery of Olden Days.
In the Great Zimbabwe are found ex-
tensive workshops for the handling of
gold, in which objects of that metal
(as discovered by excavation) were
strewn over the cement floors "as
thick as nails in a carpenter's shop."
There were also furnaces for melting
the gold, soapstone molds into which
it was poured to make iugote, burnish-
ing tools, etc. The manufacture of
gold jewellery seems to have been pur-
sued on a considerable scale, judging
from the number of bangles and other
ornaments recovered from the ruins.
The region here described is now
believed to be the Havilah of Scrip-
ture, which speaks of "the whole land
of Havilah, where there is gold." The
seaport of ,,Sofala (on the Bast Afri-
can coast, close to the twentieth paral-
lel of south latitude) is almost un-
doubtedly the Tarshish of the Bible,
When the latter mentions Solomon's
"ships of Tarshish," it refers to his
fleet of sailing vessels which voyaged
southward through the Red Sea and
down the African shore to Steatite
Mining engineers, as a result of care-
ful study of the ancient workings,
have estimated that at least $400,000, -
worth of gold must have been taken
out of them before—rather suddenly,
it would appear— they were abandon-
ed. Solomon's share was doubtless
large, judging from the plentifulness
of the precious metal in Jerusalem, as
described in the Bible, where, as we
are told, "silver was nothing account-
ed of in the days of Solomon," and
was "made to be as stones." Very
likely he obtained much additional
gold through trade with the Himyari-
tes and Sabaens.
It is thought entirely passible that
some of the workings date back to a
period before the birth of Moses, and
it may be that the Great Zimbabwe
self is as much as 4,000 years old.
Trading Forty Centuries Ago.
One may easily picture to himself
the scene when a crowd was assemb-
led on the hilltop, or au the lower
elopes of the kopje, to watch the de-
parture 01 a caravan eastward for the
sea eoast—a long train of Negroes
carrying gold, ivory, and other export
oepper and spears with heads thickly
plated with gold,

The glories of the Groat Zimbabwe
—the wonderful city of Solomon and
the Arabian kings—have long patmee
away. Its ruins are literally the haunt
of the snake and the owl. The Rhode.
Oen nativee of to -day believe them to
be infested by ghosts. But euough of
then remain to furnish for many years

plore.= by archeelogieta. About
them lingers an atmosphere of mys-
tery, and of them it may be said that

antiquiy, not even the Great Pyramid,

Boy Scout Notes.
It has just been announced from Pro-
vincial Boy Scout headquarters in
Toronto that September 3rd will be
the date of this year's big Ontario 130Y
Scout Rally. It will be held in con-
nection with the Canadian National
Exhibition in Taranto and it is expect.
ed that thousands of Scouta from all
parts of the province will attend, A
special feature of this year's rally will
be a "Boy Scout Achievement Exhibi-
tion" devoted to a display of the many
things made and collected by Boy
Scouts in connection with their pro-
ficiency badge work. These will in -
elude model bridges, bird houses,
model aeroplanes, collections of
leaves, woods and ether nature speci-
mens, pathfinder and surveyor maps, ,
fire -making outfits, knot beards, etc.
The Toronto Boy Scouts Association
'ill conduct a model camp during the
first ten days of the exhibition and
will also operate a camp for the con-
venienee of visiting troops which de-
sire to remain in Toronto for a longer
period than the Saturday of the rally.
Aside from the conveniences pro-
vided, however, visiting smuts will be
entirely at their own expense.
Three new appointments of provin-
cial interest were sanctioned at the
May meeting of the Provincial execu-
tive committee. They were the ap-
polutmeut of Mr, John G. Rent, Gen-
eral Manager of Toronto Exhibition
and formerly President of the Toronto
Boy Scouts Association, as Scout Com-
missioner for Toronto, and the ala
pointment of Mr, Geo. M. Pool of Wel-
land and of Mr, Harold Molten of
Brampton as Honorary Field Secre-
taries attached to provincial head-
quarters.

Foxboro and Cannington Scouts
have planned big field days for the

holding their spring celebration four
days later 011 the 28th, with a city-wide
rally and "Jamboree."

His Hearing Restored.
The invisible ear drum invented by
A. C. Leonard, which is a miniature
megaphone, fitting inside the ear en-
tirely out of sight, is restoring the
hearing of hundreds of people in New
York City. Mr. Leonard invented this
drum to relieve himself of deafness
and head noises, and it does this so
successfully that up one could tell he
is a deaf man. It is effective when
deafness is caused by catarrh or by
perforated, or wholly destroyed natur-
al drums. A request for information
to A. 0. Leonard, Suite 437, 10 Fifth
Avenue, New York City, will be given

Weight of a Crowd.
Interesting experiments were made
some time ago at Harvard Univereity
which seem to demonstrate that ma
gineers usually underestimate the
maximum loading caused by dense
crowdon bridges, floors and plat-
forms. Forty men averaging 163
Pounds In weight placed In a box six
feet square caused an average pres-
sure of 131 pounds to the square foot
on the floor.
An engineer has estimated the
weight per spua.re foot of the denseat
crowds on the New York elevated
railways at only 46 pounds, but since
the Harvard experiments the opinion
has been expressed that the maximum
loading on the elevated cars and plat-
