Almost every form of rheumatism, neuralgia and•soiatica are best cured by Nerviline the quickest relief for mann- lar pain yet discovered. It's because Nerviline strikes in and penetrates right to the core of the pain that it gives such unbounded satisfaction. "I caught cold in my shoulders while driving and suf- fered great pain, writes G. E. Dempsey of Berlin. I need Nerviline freely and was soon quite well. I have found Ner- viline an excellent remedy for rheuma- tism and neuralgia as well as for cold on the chest. I recommend Nerviline high- ly and wouldn't be without it." Price 25o. MORRIS. Jas. McKenzie, drag traveller was home for a short stay during the past week. He hag a roving commission from the Atlantic to the Pacific and en- joys his work.

Preserverance and will -power he must have, but whether he has strength and vigor is another consideration. Hard working men usually have irritable nerves and should fortify their systems with a course of Ferrozone, a tunic that rebuilds and revitalizes beyond all tell- ing. It's just wonderful the strength that Forrozouo imparts to brolteudowu men. It forme new blood, supplies the system with abuudant nourishment, and where formerly there was tiredness and lassitude Ferrozoue establishes a reserve of euergy and vim.

Mr. Michael Robertson, who has been down in the State of Georgia since February last, re- turned home last week. He wont south to help instal electrical ,machinery in connection with a large cement plant that is being put up by Canadians and Americans ata place about 56 miles from Atlantic. Mr. Robertson does not think very much of that State, and says it does not begin to compare with the County of Huron in any sense. While enjoying the work he was at, he was glad to get back home. Probably the most valuable 100 acres in Huron is a timber lot on the 2nd concession of this township. four miles from Auburn. The tim- ber, which is of a superior quality, has never been culled. The property was owned for ! 1 years or more by a Mr. Sprung, who lives east of Toronto. He is wealthy and refused all offers until a short tinto ago Smith McLean of Lucknaw succeeded in buying it for $5,0C). Twenty men in the district, who knew the lot, would have paid a higher price had they known it was for sale. Mr. McLean soon sold the lot and at profit of $3,000 to Mr. 'Caldwell, a Kin- loss sawmiller, who outbid Mr. Livingston of Blyth. The latter subsequently offered Mr. Caldwell $10.000, but he held out for $11,000 and is now putting up a building on tho place and will manufacture lumber, shingles and rollers.

ALL DttitIn;ISTS SOS EEDS Consumption is a human weed flourishing best in weak lungs, Like other weeds it's easily destroyed while young; when old, sometimes im- possible, Strengthen the lungs as you would weak land and the weeds will disappear. The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion, Salt pork is cod too, but it is very hard to digest. The time to treat consume• tion is 'when you begin trying to hide it from you_self. Others see it, you won't. Don't wait until you can't deceive yourself any longer. Begin with the first thought to take Scott's Emulsion. If it isn't really consumption so much the better; you will soon forget it and be better for the treatment. If it is consump- tion you can't expect to be cured at once, but if you will begin in time and will be rigidly regular in your treat- ment you will win. Scott's Emulsion, flesh air, rest all you can, eat all you can, that's the treatment and that's the best treatment. We will send you a little of the Emul- sion free. Be sure that this picture in the fort of a label is on the wrapper of every bottle of Emulsion you buy. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, Toronto, Ontario. 50c. and $1; all druggists. Cold cash warms things np mighty fast when a man is out iu the evening. The boss iu politiots is no such thing at home any more than any other man. About Christmas time a m'tn keeps dreaming he is the brush in a fox hent. When a girl informs her folks that she is determined to marry a certain young man that settles it. If a thing is said to be obvious it means that everybody ought to understand it— but everybody doesn't. It is very reckless for a child to pick out for its mother a womau with a broad strong hand.

Untraveled people commonly sup pose that savages always treat their women badly, making mere slaves and beasts of burden of them. This is true in some cases, but many bar barlans are exceedingly chivalrous to ward woolen. The Maoris of New Zealand alway treat women with the greatest defer- ence and respect, so much so that the Earl of ilanfurly once called them "the truest gentlemen on earth." They will not permit a woman to do any hart work if they can do it for her, and their boys are taught from earliest youth that rudeness and unkindness toward women are crimes only secoOOA to lying and cowardice. A young E'ngllsh lady named Ger- trude Bell traveled alone among the Druses of Syria. She was every't hers received by them with the greatest courtesy and hospitality. Special tents were assigned to her use, and the sheiks vied with each other in being her humble servants. "No well bred English gentleman could have been more chivalrous," she said, "and they were just as courteous to their own women as they were to me." The Fijians go to extremes. They are so deferential and polite to their womenfolk that they let the latter "rule the roost" entirely. A woman'e word is apt to be law in the Fiji its lands. As a rule, women occupy st sub• ordinate place in the east, but Kati - listen is an exception. 'rhe Iiafrs art of Aryan origin and to all appearances are a white race.
