ROBERT BORDEN HOW TO OBTAIN GOOD DIGESTION The Stomach Must be Toned. and Strengthened Through the Blood. The victim of indigestion tw,ho wants to eat a good meal, but who knows that suriering will follow, finds but poor consolation in pick- ing and choosing a' diet. As a matter of fact you cannot get re- lief by cutting down your food to a starvation basis. The stomach must be strengthened until you 'can eat good, nourishing food., The only way to strengthen tho stom- ach is to enrich the blood, tone up the nerves° and give strength to the stomach and will enable it lace digest any kind of food, is through a fair use of Dr. Williams' 'Pink Pills. The one mission of (these ,pills is to make rich, red blood that reaches every organ and lel-eery nerve do the bony, brie -vein.- re- newed health and activiriy. The following case illustrates the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in cur- ing indigestion. Mrs, T. Reid, Or- angeville says; Ihave much plea - .sure in testifying to the reliability of Dr. Willi'ama' Pink Pills. For several years I lead suffered great- ly 1 from stomach trouble Several doctors prescribed for me butthei,r medicine did not help rtne. After every meal I would suffer greajt• ,pain, and would often be attacked with nausea. I grew weak and had almost lost all hope of recovery 'At this juncture I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which were recommended to me, In these pills I at least found the right medicine and I 'am once more in g,,1od health. I have much pleasure in sending you my testianonial in the hope chat it will encourage some suffering persons to try blebs sure remedy." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or will be sent by snail at 50e a box or six boxes fon 82.50 by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., BI ockville, Ont. An Appreciation The Teritorial Headquarters Staff on behalf of the Salvation Army In Canada desire to express, through the press, their deep and sincere appreciation for the numerous nes sages of sympathy and condolence received from comrades, friends churches, societies, and others. Since the event of the sinkilsg of the the S. S. Empress of, Ireland, such messages have been conveyed by cable, telegram, and letter from all parts of the world and especi- ally the Dominion of Canada. It is our desire to le't it be known that, particularly the assurances of prayer, have strengthened our hearts, have encouraged our confi- dence, ont:dence, and :have stimulated iodr faith, and, furthermore, as the real ization of the extant of our loss through this appalling catastrophe becomes keener day by day, the kind words of cheer and counsel will help us in our •endeavors to carry on the great work of The Salvation Army in extendiaeg the Kengdom of God, upon earth. CANADA'S COAL SUPPLY MUST BE CAREFULLY HANDLED SAYS CONSERVATION REPORT. After Thorough Inquiry Commission Find That Although Inferior to Anthracite and Bituminous Coal, theLignite of tho Dominion Can Be Made a Source of Immense I--:dustrial Wealth. Canada's .dependence, on the Unit ed States for its supply of anthracite coal 4s a point strikingly indicated in the report just issued by the Com mission of Conservation, on the "Con- servation of Coal in Canada." Prac- tically all'of the most populous por- tion of Canada lying between Mont- real, Que., and Moose Jaw, Sask., re- lies solely on the United States for its supply or anthracite coal. Fur- ther, there 'are indications that the United States may, in the compare- tively near future prohibit the ex- port of anthracite, and, as the only anthracite deposits thug far discov- ered in Canada, are confined to the area near Banff, Alta., it is of great importance that suitable substitutes be found as soon as possible. Such a situation makes it clear that Canada should carefully hus- band her coal resources and, so far as possible, check all wasteful. meth- ods of mining and ' handling . coal. With this end in view, the report suggests greatly needed changes in the form of coal -mine leases, the pro- visions of which should be carefully enforced by a competent engineering authority. This would go far towards preventing the careless practices fol- lowed a present in many coal mines. In edition to this, it is urged that the Government . should carry on in- vestigations with a view to determin- ing e suitability of sleek and low- grade coals for use in gas producers for generating power, and their adaptability for the manufacture of briquettes for domestic use. By uti- lizing these inferior products in this way, not only would there be less waste, but the value of the public coal lands would be considerably in- creased. Again, it is pointed out that cen- tral power stations situated in the vicinity of many of the lignite fields ..of ',eastern Canada, could develop electric power for transmission to neighboring manufacturing centres. This would mean a greet saving, es- pecially in the case of lignites. The chief deficiency of the lignites which prevents their widespread use 'as household fuel is that they will not tear transportation. In the first place their heat producing qualities do not justify the cost of freighting, and in the second place they will not stand shipment and weathering. In addition to these defects, lignite in its crude form is scarcely suitable for stove and furnace use. In this emergency the coal bri- quette gives promise of being the sal- vation of Canada's vast prairie •dis- tricts so far as cheap fuel is concern- ed and the Commission of Conserva- tion is bending its efforts towards ascertaining the commercial possibili- ties of the various fields, of lignite in the west. • In the case of bituminous and an- thracite coal it is possible to menu- , facture briquettes on a commercial basis only where supplies of pitch can be'secured for binding purposes. In the case of lignites, the quantity of pitch required is far less and it has , been shown by experience that briquettes can be made without the use of a binder at all. In Germany, where the greatest advances in the industry have been made, an enor- mous quantity of low grade "brown - coal," or lignite, has been utilized and the handiness and uniform size of the little bricks has made them very popular in the cities, where they form the greater part of the fuel used. The uniformity of size makes the briquette burn more freely and they give off less smoke, which In a city residential district is a strong recommendation. While crude lignite is extremely brittle and is reduced almost to dust on a journey, the briquette made 'from it can be transported long dis- tances with very little deterioration either from the jolting or the wea- ther, and when kept under cover will 'remain in perfect condition for sev- c al months. At the present time to the Crow's Nest country, where most of the coal In the west is being mined, the prac- tice is to make it into -coke, which Is sold to neighboring smelters. The fI I l -t -l -td -t•!• high lost of carriage makes it impos- 2 t t 2 ,t I I l-t� stele to market the slack coal to PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT, advantage, The organization of the manufac _ time ofbriquettes in large quantities, Pneumonia, however, must be retarded until a The cough of pneumonia, says Dr. E. F. Bowers in the New York Tribune, is not wise nor expedient to stop before it has. done what it started to do—that is, to help eject from the lungs the billions of pneumococci and. other germs that cause pneu- monia and also the germ prod- ucts that are filling the lung cells. Any attempt to stop this cough may result. first and fore- , most, in locking up the scare - • tions and, next, in confusing •' - the symptoms. • Skillful, prompt ee action is necessary in this din- = gerous disease.

Don't try', ,, "cough remedies" in >pneumo- • nia unless it should be on your- :: •self and you don't cnre much, ; e• what happens to you. sufficient quantity of binding mater- ial is upon the market. The most desirable binder is tar pitch, and re- cent surveys of. the Athabaska river reveal the fact that there are enor- mous deposits of tar sand there which when developed rill supply a huge supply of pitch for the briquetting industry. For the present, however, coal tar pitch, may be considered as the base for the development of bri- quette manufacture. Another method of utilizing the immense lignite deposits is, in the development of electric power and on this the commission sets considerable store. The report points out that the fields are so situated' that the large quantities of lignite could be used to run steam plantsfrom which the pow- er could be exported for great enough distances to serve the greater' num- ber of the present manufacturing cen- tres in the west as well as creating. new ones within easy reach of the generating centre. The by-products of the lignite beds are manifold` and give promise of great industrial wealth. The chief • of these is gas, which can he pro deiced in large quantities, and where a market is near at hand can be ,pro- fitablr sold for domestic and lighting HONORED BY TT-ip KING,' SIR.

HUMAN PERSONALITY. .- Canada to Supply' Timber to the World. The general increase in thepriee of wood for the past few years, has had the effect ofturninig public attention to the timber supply in general To many the increase in pekes ,is sufficiently explained by saying that there is a , combine, among lumber produces and; mann factures. But independen,tl of eihe possible •existence of any combine a deeper cause underiles lies In this that timber is becoming hard er and harder for the manufac- urer to get, 'Greater and (greater economy matinee of materials form erly: considered as waste is being in troduced into' he manufacture of wood but in spite of Nall the price of loge is going up owing to higher wages that have fio be paid great er distances the logs have to, be brought : and many other reasons.'

Various estimates of Canada's forest land have been given, Eight hundred mullion nares was afew years ago accepted as pretty near the truth but,considering the dam age caused by fire and other de- tractive agencies itis doubitdullif the existing forests cover half tlhat area. PO keep this area in its most productive state. Thus enabling it to meet,tlhe demand as far as possible and to produce the largest revenue is the 'problem set those in control of these areas and the pro tee'tion of the forests against fire and other dangers and their proper management under forestry meth ods is the only way; in which this can be effected. A , Product Not of Brain or Heart, but of the Nervous System. To Oaten is ascribed fele belief that the brain was the seat of the rational soul. the heart the location of courage and fear, and the liver that of love. Fills distribution of the element of per sonality over the physicalbody, finds lts expression in the common speech of today, particularly in relation to the heart, which is widely accepted by the popular mind as the source of the mord tender emotions. It waschieflythrough the anatomist' and, physiologists of the early renais- sance that the modernmovement, which has tended to limit ,personality to the nervous system, was, seriously begun, a movement which, with thein- crease of knowledge, has gained slip- port to such an extent that, it can now be maintained beyond any reasonable doubt. Human personality is in no true sense the outcome of the non -nervous organs, such asthe digestive or the circulatory Organs, but is the direct product of the nervous system. This system, to, be sure, is embedded among the other or- gans of the body, and the environment thusprovided influences profoundly its condition and action, but acuteness or dullness of sense, quickness ors]owness of action, temperamental- traits, such as: a gloomy os' bright disposition, in- capacity, shiftlessness, honesty, thrifti- ness or sweetness, are all, strictly; speaking, functions of the nervous or - gars. Althoug h onlythe higher animals can be said to possess personality in this sense, traces of it occur in the lower forms, and its evolution is, in- dissolubly connected • with that of the nervous system.—Professor G.
