=o PROVES GREAT POWER When Regular Medical Treatment Failed, Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills Cured Her Rheumatism. Hundreds of people afflicted with rhen- matism have spent years under the care of excellent physicians in vain. Then they have settled down to the conviction that it is fastened on them for life. Mrs. Dinsmore was not willing to join the ranks of the hopeless merely becanse her doctor did not know how to help her. Here is her story: ~ “Four years ago I suffered greatly with rheumatism in my hands and knees. After I had been sitting a while my limbs seemed so heavy I could hardly walk on the first attempt. So long asI kept moving I was all right, but just as soon as I stopped, something seemed to settle in my knees and make them ache. My hands were so bad I couldn’t touch the palms of them ona flat surface; they were swollen and pained so,” “Did you call in a physician?” “I doctored steadily for over a year; then one doctor said: ‘You have taken medicine strong enough to kill almost anything.’ Still, it did not kill me nor the rheumatism.” “How, then, did you get rid of it?” “At different times I had read in yari- ous publications about Dr. Williams’ wonderful Pink Pills for Pale People, and I finally decided to try them. I took them steadily for four months in ac- cordance with the directions. By that time I was completely cured.” “Have you been free from it ever since?” «Since then I have had but one slight return of my trouble, and a box or two of the same pills made me allright again.’’ Mrs. F. A. Dinsmore lives in hearty enjoyment of her recovered health at Woburn, Mass., entirely freed from the grave anxieties that rheumatism always brings. When it appears in buta single joint it shows that the blood isin a faulty state in the whole body. It may at any moment break out elsewhere, and one of the dangers is that it may break out in the heart and then the result must’ be fatal. The onlysecurity is to keep the blood all the time in a perfectly sound condition. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills make healthy blood. All other relief is superficial. This is thorough. These pills are sold by all druggists. An Imposing By-Product.

ALL CROPS GOOD IN WESTERN CANADA. “Potatoes the Finest | Ever Saw.” Owing to the great amount of in- terest that is being taken in Western Canada, it is well to be informed of some of the facts that are bringing about the great emigration from por- tions of the United States. The Canadian government has au- thorized agents at different points, and the facts related in the following may be corroborated on application. At the same time they will be able to quote you rates, and give you certificates en- titling you to low rates on the differ- ent lines of railway. The following letter copied from the North Bend (Neb.) Eagle is an unsolicited testi- monial, and the experience of Mr. Auten is that of hundreds of other Americans who have made Canada their home during the past seven or eight years: “I presume some may be interested to know how we have progressed this year in the Canadian Northwest. We have no complaint to offer. We have had a good year, crops were good and we have had a delightful season. I threshed from my place 8,650 bushels of grain. My oats made 65 bushels per acre and weighed 42% pounds per bushel. My wheat made 31% bushels per acre and is No. 1 quality. My barley made about 30 bushels of good quality. My crop is a fair average of the crops in the Edmonton district. “All crops were good here this sea- son. Potatoes the, finest I ever saw, and all vegetables adapted to the cli- mate. We have had a very fine fall, but no exception to the rule, as the fall season is, I think, the most pleas- ant of the year. We. have had no snow yet (Nov. 9), and have been plowing and working the land prepar- ing for an early seeding next spring. Last night the mercury dropped lower than any previous night this fall, and this morning there is a crust of frost on the fields sufficient to prevent field work. No doubt many would imagine that Alberta had put on her winter overcoat before this and that the peo- ple were wrapped in furs, but it is only a question of time when this country will not be looked upon as an iceberg, but a country fit for the best of mankind to live in. “We are now assured of a trans- continental railway, which is to be built to the Pacific during the next five years. The Canadian Northern road is graded to within seventy-five miles. of Edmonton. It comes from Winnipeg, ard will reach us next sum- |“ mer, so with one railroad already at hand, the second to reach us in less than 4 year, and the third to penetrate our city and open up this country to the west across the Rockies to the coast within five years, we surely have reason to believe that the country is ing. Pome renpesitelly, L. J. AUTEN.” Prairie Dog Lured into an abandoned burrow vy his prospective victim, Green Eyes, a cat who has long preyed on the prairie dogs in the menagerie in Central park, says the New York Herald, was im- prisoned yesterday for many hours through the strategy of Dolphin, their king. Dolphin was the only prairie dog on the surface when Green Eyes looked about for further prey. Frightened by the arrival of the cat, Dolphin’s sub- jects sought shelter in their subter- ranean homes. Apparently uncon- scious of his peril, Dolphin remained on a knoll, watching the cat. Suddenly darting forward, Green Eyes made an attempt to seize his victim. The latter, howevér, dodged the cat’s attack and ran to the other side of the inclosure, followed by Green Eyes. Then began a chase which lasted for more than five min- utes, and- ended by the disappearance of Dolphin into an abandoned burrow just as he was apparently about to be caught by his pursuer. Green Eyes hesitated a few seconds and then started to squeeze his body through the entrarice of the burrow. Curious Ha F. A. Lucas of the Brooklyn Insti- tute museum, writing to Science on the swallowing of stones. by. seals, says: “So far as I am aware, no satis- factory reason has been advanced for the swallowing of stones by seals, and this statement may probably be ex- tended to other animals. “They are not. taken in for ballast, for the empty seals keep down as eas- ily as the others; they are not swal- lowed for the purpose of grinding up food, for they occur in the stomachs of nursing pups; they are not to al- lay the irritation caused by parasitic worms, since the two are by no means found together; they are not taken in with food, not merely because they are found in the stomachs of young seals, but in those adults that have fed on squid caught in the open sea. On page 68 volume III., ‘Report of Fur Seal Investigation,’ it says: : “It is evident that these things are not swallowed haphazard, but are se- lected with considerable care from among the articles strewn. along the shore, and that a preference is exhib- Defied the | { | Small and slim, he finally succeeded in making his way inside the subter- ranean chamber., Witnesses of his at- tack of Dolphin stood ‘in front of the | inclosure for half an hour waiting for him, to reappear, but he did not come out of the burrow. *° They were surprised soon afterward to see Dolphin poke his head cautious- lx out of a burrow which evidently led to another passage connecting with the underground chamber into which he had lured the cat. After surveying the village with keen eyes, Dolphin came out of the burrow and in re- sponse to his sharp barks other prairie dogs left their homes to come’ to the surface, ‘ While they were perched on knolls late in the afternoon faint cries issued from the entrance of the burrow which Green Eyes had entered. They were followed by the appearance of his head and then of his body as he squeezed out of the burrow. His body was cov- ered with dirt, and he had evidently been compelled to dig his way out of his prison. Without making an at- tempt to attack the prairie dogs, he hurried from the village. bit of Seals ited for rounded objects. This is shown by the fact that, as a rule, only articles of one kind are found in one stomach, although seals do not dis- criminate between fragments of bar- nacles and fragments of gastropods. ‘*‘Moreover, pebbles of serpentine and chalcedony are now and then found on the hauling’ grounds, under conditions indicating that they were brought there by the seals, while the pup seen gathering pebbles on Luk- anin did so with great care, by no means taking the first that came to hand. The most striking example of this discriminative selection is, per- baps, shown by the pup which had swallowed a buckshot while the chance of finding such a thing must be at a guess about one in’a million.’ “Furthermore, it may be said that as the fur seal regurgitates bones and other indigestible things, the supply of stones must be renewed from time to time. That there is any connection between the presence of stones and the presence of a gizzard does not fol- low.” Goddess Pele Queen Kapiolani, a noble looking chieftainess of the island of Hawaii, was one of the first converts to Chris- tianity. She was over six feet tall a magnificent specimen of Hawaiian womanhood, with the “haughty air of the ancient nobility.” She had immense power over her fellow countrymen and resolved on be- coming a Christian. if possible, to break the hold of grinding and de- grading superstitions which had long enslaved them. She knew that in no other way could she do this so well as by defying Pele, the goddess of the awful volcano of Kilauea, who had her abode in the very crater itself. Her approach and her defiance were most dramatic, for she wished to im- press her awe-stricken subjects with the powerlessness of Pele and the om- nipotence of the true God. Slowly and in state she made her way up the mountainside, while the people, trem- bling and frightened by her audacity, followed at a distance. The priestess of Pele warned her away, but she kept } on, undeunted. On the edge of the crater a shelter had been built, where he passed the night, within sight and mell of the seething, boiling hell of ure. In the morning she rose, descended into the crater as far as it was pos- sible to go, and, standing upon the “black edge,” in full view of the amaz- ed spectators, who expected every | minute to see her scorched and with- ered by the angry goddess, she delib- erately ate a bunch of ohelo berries, which, as sacred to the goddess, no one had hitherto dared to touch, and flung the stones into the awful fiery lake as she cried out: “Thus do I defy thee, O Pele! Jehovah is my God. He kindles these fires and he preserves me in breaking your tabus.” Then, by herself and a few Christ- ian followers, a hymn of praise was sung a prayer, offered to the true God, and the dread power of the Goddess Pele, and with her that of many lesser heathen divinities, was shattered for- ever. Chestnuts a Good Food The ‘chestnut contains less water, more proteid, more starch, more fat, but less mineral water than the po- tato. The chestnut is, in fact, more nutritious than the potato, says the London Lancet, tains different constituents, but be- cause weight for weight it contains a greater proportion of them. The de- ficiency in fat is made up in the po- tato by a pat of butter; in the chest- nut there is already an important pro- portion of fat. The chestnut, however, is the most digestible of nuts, be- cause it does not contain an excess of fat. Most nuts contain between 50 and 69 per cent of fat. Both the chestnut and the potato provide a nutritive meal. rich in heat and energy-giving material, and the starch in them is péculiarl¥ easy of digestion. For rea- sons already given, the chestnut is dietetically superior to the potato, es- pecially if the latter be boiled, as in the process some of the nutrient ma- not because it con- | terials are lost. In the cooking of both the chestnut and the potato by baking the effect is much the same as hy boiling; the natural water of the nut and of the tuber is partly expelled as steam which swells or cooks the starchy particles. Chestnuts lose but little of their nu- tritive constituents when boiled, but they are best baked or roasted, as di- etetically also is the potato. It is a pity that the chestnut is not appreci- ated in this country as it is in France, where the peasantry find it a very sustaining and agreeable food. There are enormous quantities of food in the shape of chestnuts wasted in this country and yet it is a particularly ‘ economical form of food, for a given area of ground, it is stated, produces the maximum amount of food possible when it is planted with chestnut trees. And so the man with the chestnuts on his: red-hot tea tray conveys a, lesson which might be taken more seriously than it is. More Perilous Than War Probably few Americans realize ‘hat the man in the United States rail- way mail service is far more likely to lose his life than the soldier in Uncle 3am’s regular army. Cold figures which have appeared in two official re- ports of the government prove abso- utely that he is. Within the year ending June 30. last only twenty-four of Uncle Sam’s sol- liers, in all the 65,000 on regular or jetdched duty, were killed in action. Twenty-one men were killed on duty n the railway mail service during that time. There were only four additional soldiers wounded so severely that they lied or were obliged to leave the serv- ce on accomt of these wounds. ' In the railway mail service ninety men were seriously ‘hurt while on duty, be- sides the twenty-one mer killed. To. make the showing still more surpris- ing, 378 mail clerks were injured more or less severely. | if one compares the strength of the corps of a few thousand clerks with the 65,000 men in the regular army we will find that the percentage of fatalities in railway mail service is much higher than in active army duty. It is probable, too, that disease takes off a greater number of railway clerks in proportion than it does soldiers. This includes the army in the Philip- pines, where there is always more or less trouble. It does not include the three army officers killed, but they would still not change the fact that mail clerk service is more dangerous than active life as a soldier of Uncle Sam. If “peace hath her victories no less renowned than those of war,” she also ‘has her dangers no less numerous. Has any congressman thought of pen- sioning maimed and disabled mail clerks or the widows and orphans they leave? Probably he has, but if we remembey? rightly it has not been done. A Good Team at Last. A certain football team with one win to its credit as the result of a season’s work, found itself in financial difficulties. In order if possible to reduce the club’s indebtedness the committee or- ganized a “grand carnival,” as the bills had it. A cycle procession round the streets was followed by various sports on the football field. In connection with the latter an amusing incident occurred. The interval between a couple of events on the program was enlivened by the sudden appearance of a local Irishman, a well-! ‘known supporter of the club. Spic and span in national costume, Pat sat in a low buggy behind a cou- ple of donkeys, driving tandem. Pat bore a lot of good-humored chaff, but the captain of the football team went a step too far. “You're in good company, Pat,” he shouted. “Three of a tribe.” “Thrue for yez,” instantly returned Pat. “Sure Oi’ve long waited to see a good team on this field, an’ be ja- bers Oi’ve had to bring wan mesilf at the finish.” A GUARANTEED CURE FOR PILES.

There is a young man in this city who is a dilletante in medicine. He was recently explaining to a young’ lady friend of his the preference of bacteria for milk. “If you leave a glass of milk exposed for a short time in a room,” he said, “all the bacteria in the place will make for the milk. Whenever I take a glass of milk I cannot help thinking of this, so it is seldom I ever drink any of late.” “That is the very reason why I drink ; milk,” the lady replied. “The bacteria must know that milk is nourishing or they would not go for it.”—Mexican Herald.
