When the heart does not do its work
properly and.the nerves become unstrung
the whole system becomes weak and
elm down, and needs building up before
you ean feel fit again.
Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills will
do this for you.
Mrs. Hugh Mosher, Chester Basin,
N.S., vvrites: "just a few lines to let
you know what Milburn's Heart and
Nerve Pills have done for me. I have
suffered greatly with heart trouble and
nervousness, and was all run down. I
used lots of niedicine, but received no
benefit uutil I was advised to try your
pills, and did sca and before I had finished
the first box I felt so much better
got 5 boxes, and am now :well and strong.
I can Only say they are the best medicine
I have ever used. I cannot praise them
too highly. I recommend them to any-
one suffering from heart trouble."

Dr. Andrew Wilson, Dr. Ger-
don Stables and Dr. Lascelles •
Scott, the famous English an-
alyst, have all personally tried
Zttm-Suk and expressed themselves
convinced of its great healing value.
Mrs. St. Denis, of Thompson St,,
Weston. Winnipeg, suffered long
with eczenra.; and finally her doctor
said only Zern-Bu lc cou id cure her -
another fine tribute of a scientific
maa to this great herbal healer.
Mrs. St. Denis says "The ec-
zema broke out on my nose and one
side of my face. .1 could get no
sleep because of the irritation and pain,
and mrface was in such a shocking
condition that for two months 1 did
not go out of the house. 1 applied
remedies and my doctor treated me,
but without effect, until one day he
said that the only thing which would
be likely tocure me wasZam-Buk. I
procured a supply and to cut a long
story short, in a few weeks Zam-Buk
cured rae completely, leaving no
scars."

that immediate district.
-Mr. S. A. ,Mitchell, a farmer near

-About two o'clock one morning last
week, the home of T. Sigurdson, In
Glenboro, Man., was destroyed by fire.
Mrs. Sigurdson, who was alone in the
house, escaped through the window in
her night attire and gave the alarm.
A number of the town people ,were at -
once on the scene, however, too late to
save anything. There was no insurance,
on the house or contents.
-A remarkable cure has been effect-
ed In thetcase of af. -E. Stover, a tele-
phone employee, at Lethbridge. After
being dumb for 22 ,years, ever since
the age of five years, he speaks to -day
The long silence was broken after an
operation by Dr. Gunn, of Calgary, who
removed a growth from the vocal cords.
Immediately on gaining his voice Stov-
er called up his friends at Lethbridge,
by long distance telephone and ‚con-
versed with them, although in a low
voice.

A BliliOn Wit Deficit
Aecording to the reliable statistic
there are tied tip at the present time
a,baut two billion buthels of wheat, the
production of the countriea at war..
This is 'in the .vIcinity kV !half ache
world's total prechietioe of wheat'. A.
-recognized authotitY argues that grants
ing, that the wareing maims produce
a one-half crop in "ttel comieg y tar, a
deficit of on buslyls will still
be shown. Ph s thres, countries upon
which the filling of this .deficit of one
billion bushels will rsst are Canada,
the :United States and Argentina.. The
combined output of .these three coun-
tries is only 1,249,000,000h, their lex-
portable surplus would,,. -of course, be
mueh Jese, so ;it can eheily be seen
that the question is not .one to be eas-
ily solved, and it bsbove.s Canada to in-
crease, her production as. much as she
possibly can, foe when the 'war is over -
and- track begins to re-establisheiteelf
and the nations undergo a process of
rehabilitation, the -demand for all bread -
stuffs must be- enermous.

THE MEXICAN
Stopping a Charge of the New World's
Most Dangerous Animal.
There is a story of a fierce chargezby
an infuriated Mexican jaguar in are
tide that Mr. Harry H-. Dunn writes in
the Outing Magazine. A wooded hill,
surrounded on two sides by water and
on 'the other two by grass cropped
short by the village vets, was set on
lire to drive out the beast, winch had
taken refuge there.
Animals began to come from the tan,
gle. Parrots, disturbed.from their mid-
day rest, flew in green and red and yel-
low clouds. Monkeys fled through the
tops of the trees., Rabbits and rats and
mice scurried urikierfoot, and we saw
one ocelot, a little spotted jungle eat
Then came the jaguar. 'Crossing the
sloping side of the hill, the tiger ap-
peared to Felipe, and the fellow, proud
of the 73 repeater I had brought with
me from Mexico City for him, fired as
the spotted apparition crossed an open
space in the tangle. Ordinarily Felipe
is a good shot, but the rifle was new to
Lim, and he managed dnly to put the
slug in the cat's fore shoulder. The
tiger screamed and leaped straight up
into the air. When he came. down all
thought of flight had left him, and he
headed for Felipe and myself. The In-
dian began to pump bullets at the tiger,
end I remember noticing that the cat
was not leaping or, running, but trot-
ting rapidly, as a house cat trots un -
frightened about its own home.
We were confronting the most dan-
gerous and Most powerful animal in
the new world, with the single excep-
den of the Kodiak bear, and I doubt
very much if any bear in the world
could whip a maddened Mexican tiger.
The jaguar's mouth was open, and his
tall streamed straight* out behind; he
did not lash it from side to side, as I
r5hould have expected him to do.
At ten yards Felipe had emptied his
magazine, dropped his rifle and whip-
ped out his machete, when I found
the tiger's forehead over the sights of
tho rifle. As the gun cracked the jaguar
halted, staggered forward a short step
or two: sank to bis fore shoulders and
turned over, dead.
POWER OF SILENCE.
Shown In the Art of the Painter and
the Orator.
In painting the sacrince of Ipbigenia
the artist it.has been said, exhausted
the, emotions of grief and horror in the
faces of the bystanders.
"He has left nothing unsaid. ,How
can he depict her father's sorrow?"
was the -anxious query of those friends
who were WatChing, the development ot
the., picture. The artist threw a man-
tle over Agamemnon's face. The blank
silence was More erfeetive than any
pictured woe. `
• Oneeof themost extraordinary ef-
11 produced by absolute silence
recorded in the reports of a convention
In Which the foremost Men of,Virginia
• took part. John ItandolPitbad a meas-
ure to carry in whicb he looked for the
opposition of Alb -tender Campbell., a
man then noted for his scholarship and
power in debate.
Randolph had never seen the Scotch
logician, shut he had heard enough of
%bin) to make him and his partisans un•
easy. When, .therefore, the gaunt
stranger 'first rose to speak in the con.
vention Randolph looked at him with
such an air of alarm as to attract the
attention of the whole convention, and
as he glanced around seemed to be ask-
ing for sympathyInhis doming defeat
• Ile then composed hiinself to listen
with close attention.
Campbell, aware of this byplay, hesi-
tated and lost the thread of his argie
ment Randolph's face by turns as* he
listened, expressed weariness, indiffer-
ence and finally contempt He .leaned
back and yawned. Campbell sat down
hastily. He had lost the whole 'force
of his speech. Not -a word had been
spoken, but he -was defeated. -Wash-

Fires are lighted under the trees upon

Bullets of paper or tallow produce
far greater damage than metal ones
when used .for short distance firing. A.
paper bullet passing through six pieces
of tin placed one foot apart buckled
them up and made them useless,
whereas a metal- bullet merely left a
email round hole. -

AN EARLY AIRSHIP
ft Wouldn't Fly, Although It Got a
Trial by Moonlight.
BUT IT CAUSED, A SURPRISE.
Story,of a Comedy That Was Enacted
in the Dead Watches uf the Night on
the Banks of the Potomac In the
Troublouit Wartime Days of 1863.
In the Smithsonian institution at
Washington there hangs an ancient -
model of an aeroplane. It looks te the -
casual observer like a small facsimile
of the Wright biplane.
But it is many years older than the
Wright flying machine. It is the
Stiingfellow airship,- built in the early
sixties of the last century, and it once
caused the arrest as a spy and con-
spirator of Professor Josepb Henry,
the eminent ,rnan of science who was
the first secretary of the Smithsonian
institution.
In the summer a 1863 Vil'ashIngton
was in a state of the utmost agitation
and uneasiness. The Confederate
armies moving northward were threat-
ening Washington itself, and southern
scouts bad raided within sight of the
dome of the estpitel.
A strong Picket line was kept on
duty night and day, especially along
the banks of the Potomac. In that
part of Washington there is a wide
, space of park known as the mall.
There pickets constantly patrolled,
keeping an eye Amen the distant Vir-
ginia shore.
_ One moonlit midnight a picket pac-
ing to and fie between the river and
and the Smithsonian institution, which
stood in a lonely part of the mail, saw
a solitary man emerge from the shad-
ow of the elms that bordered' the
grounds. He bore it strange, birdlike,
tondescriPt thing that -looked like
nothing the sentinel had ever seen be-
fore. •
Standing out in the open spaces, -The
solitary man -flung Ills Strange APO-
ance into the air; it fluttered fora few
feet and their sank to -the ground.
;Again the Mau tossed -it inth the air
and watched it flutter a short distance,
afw•hile in -the 'Shadow of the elms the
picket looked on in bewilderment.
It. was no time to •give aey one the
benefit of a doubt. The picket sum-
moned the captain of the. guard, and a
isquad of soldiers suddenly descended,
ion the mysterious man.
"What is your name? What is this
thing, and what are you doing with
It?' queried the captain of his prisoner
"I -am Professor Henry, secretary of
tbe Smithsonian institution yonder,"
said tha.nrisoner. Then he stormed.
In that day fOr a man to admit that
he wasseriously experimenting with a
flying machine was conchisive evidence
of his insanity, and Professor Henry
who had chasm- the dead watches of
the night iriawhich to experiment with
Stringfellow's flying machine, hesitat-
ed itoI tell dries captors what he was
'really doing.
