(ME HURON EXPOSITOR DISTRICT MATTERS SAVED BABY'S LIFE .Mrs. Alfred. Trancheraontagne, St. Michel des Saints, Que., writes: "Bdssy's Own Tablets are an excellent medicine. They saved my baby's life rand I can highly recommend then to all mothers." Mrs. Tranchemon-, tagne's experience is that of thou- sands of other mothers who have test- ed the worth of Baby's Own Tablets. The Tablets are a sure and safe medi- cine for little ones and never fail to a•eguTate the 'bowels and stomach thus relieving all the minor ills from which children suffer. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' !Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. LITTLE BELGIUM GROWS TIMBER• Belgium is one of the most thickly populated parts of the earth's surface. With a population of 652 persons per square niile it has (or had just be- fore the war) about 18 per cent. of its area under permanent forest, and this forest area was increasing, show- ing that the limit of what land it was deemed advisable to keep under forest Orad not been reached. Compare this with different parts of Canada. Mani- toba has a population of a little more than two persons to the square mile and about two per cent. only is set aside as permanent forest reserves. Saskatchewan has about two and a half persons per square mile and a- bout five per cent. only under perm- anent forest. Ontario with a popu- lation of six persons per square mile also has only five per cent. of its area et aside as permanent forest. It wi 1 be seen from the above that thickly populated countries of Europe are setting aside a much Larger pro- portion of land to grow timber than are communities on this continent, with immense areas and scant popu- lation. 'If such a course is wise in Europe with its expensive land it must be doubly wise in the Western Hemisphere, with its vast areas of cheap }and, much of it unsuited to any other purpose than of growing timber. ODDITIES AND CURIOSITIES. At ninety years of age, Fred Harris has married the last of Peter Yost's daughters, in Atlanta, Ia. The bride, aged forty-eight, is the seventh of the Yost sisters to wed Harris. Her name was Mrs. Gustave Eidelmann. Years ago Harris began marrying the dau- ghters of Yost, one time a sailor on the great lakes, when the eldest be- came his bride. He went down the line to the youngest, the former Mrs. Didelm:ann. She had been married three times before her wedding to Harris. Her last husband perished in no Minnesota forest fires of 1919. Five of the Yost daughters were wid- owers before marrying Harris. Years • ago Harris drove a hack in Chicago, put recently bought a small farm in Atlanta, on which he will pass his remaining years. X-ray photographs taken in Boston prove that there is an ear -to -ear pas- sageway through the cranium of a wounded veteran of the Canadian ex- peditionary forces, who was under treatment at the Massachusetts clinic, according to attending surgeons. Six shoe buttons, which he attempts4 to pass from one side of .his head to the other, became clogged, the photo- graphs taken for record clearly show therm- Three of the buttons have been dislodged. One passed out through his ear and two through his nasal passages. The wounded man's condi- tion was considered to be serious be- cause of the danger that hooks on the remaining buttons might rupture a blood vessel. The phenomenon was caused, the veteran said, by the con- cussion of an exploding shell in France. Albout a year ago a farmer residing four miles from Springfield, Ill., took his horse to a veterinary, when the animal was sick with the colic. We are told that the horse was sick again a few weeks .ago and the farmer call- ed a veterinarian. When he arrived at the farm the barn door was found kicked down and the horse was gone The animal was found later standing at the door of the "horse hospital" in Springfield, where it was treated last Var. While an elm tree was being sawn up in a timber yard at Workingham Berkshire, England, sour unbroken bird"' eggs were discovered buried a foot deep in he trunk. The eggs, be- lieved to be those of a woodpecker, had evidently .been laid in a hole which was afterwards .closed by growth of the timber. From the ap- pearance of the wood it was plain that they must have been in the tree for at least 80 years+ Binds of a feather flbcked together 1 the London Bow street police court, when Messrs. Byrd, Peacock, Jay, Wren, Swallow, Cock and Robin ap- peared•be#ore a magistrate charged with drunkenness and disorderdy con- duct. The Magistrate reviewed the list and removing his spectacles said: "'This branch of justice would be leas encumbered i1' such prisoners as face me now would do less flying by night." A hen owned by a Byron Central, Mich., man is reported to have broken an egg.laying record. She is said to have laid double -yoked eggs every day for three weeks and then produc- ed an egg that weighed six ounces and measured nine and five -sixteenth inches around the long way and one- half inch around the centre. I't con- tained two yolks besides being a per- fectly normal sized egg. A shaft sunk at Yakutsk, Siberia, in the hope of finding water for the town, failed to penetrate below the permanently frozen ground, or "ground ice," even at a depth of 382 feet. In Alaska several shafts have been sunk about two hundred feet, and one reached 365 feet, without pene- trating below the frozen ground. VOICES THAT NEVER DIE We are all accustomed to hearing the voices of the great singers and actors of the day en the gramophone. but few are aware that there exist phonograph records of the voices of many of the great men of last cen- tury. The collection belongs to Edi- son, who sent a representative round the world fur the purpose of inter- viewing famous people and persuad- ing them to speak into a phonograph. Thus, Gladstone can be heard congrat- ulating Edison on his wonderful in- ventive genius. King Edward ex- presses his astonishment and admira- tion at being able to hear voices re- produeed by a machine. Tennyson reads a verse from one of his poems. Browning tries to recite and fails. Among others Cardinal Maiming, the Duke of Clarence, Lord Salisbury and the Duke of Cambridge contributed to this wonderful collection, which is valued at many thousands of pounds. • SUNDAY TAX The visitor to Italy, no matter how brief his stay, is fairly heavily taxed, says a "wandering" correspondent. There is a 15 per cent. addition to his hotel bill in place of tips, which have really been abolished, and following that come a luxury tax, varying with the luxuriousness of the hotel, an- other for war widow§ and orphans, and a tourist tax. These are all add- ed to the hotel bill, and increase it by rather more than 20 per cent. An- other tax exists which, in one case out of seven', the tourist may pay. While travelling by train the other day 1 was informed by the conductor that I must pay a supplement of samething like Is. 6d. I asked the reason why and the reply was—"For travelling on a Sunday." GLAD HE TRI THE HE TONIC TREATMENT n Through Its Use Strength and Vigor was Restored. To be tired after exertion is natu- ralral. Rest and food restore the body to normal after such fatigue. But to be tired all the time is a symptom of an anaemic condition that will not be corrected until the blood is built up. Such an anaemic condition is so 'gradual in its approach and gener- ally so lacking in acute pains that it is often difficult to persuade the suf- ferer to do anything for it. But it is not a condition that corrects itself. If the blood is not enriched the trou- ble will increase. The nerves will be undernourished and neuralgic pains will follow. Digestive disturbances often result from thin blood, sleep is disturbed and a general breakdown may Occur. Mr. Wilson Johnson, Nineveh, N.S., says: "A -few years ago my system was in a badly run down condition. My nerves seemed always on edge, and I found myself so weak that I could hardly do any work. I suffer- ed from headaches and from pains in the back and under the shoulders, and was often so sleepless at night that when morning came I felt as tired as when. I went to bed. I was taking medicine all the time, but it was doing me no good. Then I read the testimonial of a man whose con- dition had been similar to mine, and who strongly recommended Dr. Wil- liamf' Pink Pills. I decided to give this medicine a fair trial, and when I had taken six boxes I felt much bet- ter. I Continuer) talking the Ipilla until I had taken six more boxes, and I can only say I am glad' I did so, as I am now enjoying the best of health, and 'I advise all men who feel run down to give these pills a good trial." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can be ob- tained from any dealer in medicine, or try assail at 60 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Oo., Brockville, Ont. • THE HURON EXPOSITOR 3 SCORES OF NEW FALL COATS.
