London’s (England) hotels, of which there are upwards of five hundred, are called upon to find accommodation for between 25,000 :and 30,000 visitors nightly. Some of those London hotels are wonderful ‘places. Twenty of them represent a. capital of $40,000,000. Some pos- sess over a thousand bedâ€"rooms, and as many as 8,000 guests have been known to sleep in a. score of these palaces. Oftentimes the ta.- ble silver at a. famous hotel repre- sents a value of $500,000, and a great deal disappears annually into the pockets of “souvenir-hunters." There is hardly a. trade or profes- sion but. what has its own particuâ€" lar hotel in London. The origin of ithe modern metropolitan hotel was that years ago an enterprising ser- svant who left a. West-End mansion One of the latest discoveries of [the synthetic chemists is how to make ivory out of nothing more wonderful than cow’s milkâ€"and very good ivory at that, according to all accounts. The original idea was to use the new “ivory” for piano and organ keys because it preserves its original color indefi~ nitely, whereas the genuine article burns yellow after a time. But it has been found that the new pro- duct is not only an efficient substi- tute for ivory, but can easily be prepared so as to take the place of amber, horn, coral, celluloid, and such-like products, and‘ it is claim- :d, can hardly He distinguished h‘om them. It is in its position as a substitute for ivory that the new Eaterial has caused most surprise, owever, because it has the nppear- Inc-e of’ being another instance of Improving upon Nature. The new ~lvory takes a very high and lasting polish, and will probably not lack a pommercial field for itself, as nat- ural ivory continues to grow manner and dearer year by year. The modern method of curing in- ;digestion and other stomach trou- bles isto tone up the stomach to do its normal work. Every step towards recovery is a step gained, not to be lost again. The recovery of the appetite, the disappearance 'of pain, the absence of gasâ€"all are steps on the road to health that those who have tried the tonic ftreatment remember distinctly. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are a tonic medicine, every constituent of which is helpful in building up the digestive organs, and is therefore the very best remedy for chronic ‘casos of stomach trouble. The sucâ€" cess of the treatment is proved by thousands of cases like the follow- ‘ing: Mr. W. W. Swain, Grand Valley, Ont, says :â€"â€"“For several {ears my mother had stomach trou- le from which she got no relief whatever until she began the use of Dr. William-3’ Pink Pills. She was treated at different times by three doctors, but their efforts did not avail. Then she was advised to try an electric belt, but it proved worthless. She suffered much durâ€" ing this time and food became dis- tasteful. The trouble also affected her nerves and her general health was on the verge of a breakdown. One day a friend who was in asked her to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Without very much hope that the Pills would prove successful when other medicines had failed, we nevertheless got her a supply. In a few weeks we could see a decided change, and got six more boxes. .By'the time these were used mother ‘w‘as almost well, and she kept on taking the Pills for a short time longer and was completely cured. She is now a healthy and strong woman and is never bothered with her stomach in any way. I hope this statement wig-bring relief to other sufferers.” Why experiment with medicines wf doubtful value, when you have such positive evidence of the bene- fit following the use of Dr. Wilâ€" liam’s Pink Pills?

E13118 Mndern Method Must Success- ful in, Traating Indigestion Tome TREATMENT FOR THE STOMACH The oldâ€"fashioned methods of treating indigestion and stomach troubles are being discarded. The “trouble with the old~fashioned methods was that when the treat- ment was stopped the trouble re- ‘turvhed in an aggravated form. A Many a man who is calling loudly ,r jultioe would be in jail if he got IVORY FROM MILK. HOTEL WONDERS. Then there is Exhibition Park, with its 254 acres, and Centre Iglund Park with 218 acres. Riverdale Park with its de- veloping Zoo has become the moat inter. eating spot in the city for children. It has 108 acres. Then there are literally dozens of smaller park areas. Alexander Park on Buthurst street, with its amen acres, was formerly the residence of Sir Cusimir Gyowski, and is a. delightful re- treat. The Allan Gardens at the corner of Sherbourne and Carlton, with it: sta- tue at Robert, Burns and plum. houses. has 10 acres. Bellwood's Park In the west end. with 5 mares, is in itself I delightful bit of scenery. The Grange, ‘Goldwin This is the season when the city gets the full benefit of its breathing spacefi. Queen‘s Park, which is probably the best known because of its accessibility and the location there of the Parliament build- ings, is by no means the largest park in the city. That distinction falls to High Park in the west end with its 335 acres, chiefly in their state of natural beauty. This was the magnificent gift to Toronto of the late Mr. Howard, who lived on the property and whose quaint old resi. deuce. with monument near by. keeps green his memory. It is not altogether satisfactory to know that descendants of the city's benefactor are not far removed from poverty: for the property, if put on the market now, would yield a stupend- ous sum. High Park is traversed by a network of roadways, and has been spoiled for many citizens in recent years by the ad- vent of motor CITE, which make the wind. in; paths a nightmare to the mothers of impetuous children.” Now. Acting Mayor Church has improved on the plan with the suggestion that at tha mouth of the Humber a new city park should be establihed. The site. he says, should be as large as Queen's Park. which contains 57 acres. The location in excellent, and if the entire projeet i5 worked out Toronto will have reason to be proud. l Now we seem to be within reasonable distance of the time when the whole valley of the Humber from its mouth up to Lambton Mills, two miles north, will be taken into the city limits, ond at the same time will come in the intervenin‘ territory, which includes the settlement at Swansea and Runnymede. Mr. Home Smith, one of the most far-seeing and en- ergetic oi the younger citizens, him, with the backing of I syndicnte. bought up nearly all the property on both banks of the river. The high ground on the bank! will make attractive residential sit/€9,001}:- manding as it does views of the beauti- ful Humber Valley anoramn, and of the lake. A year ago 0 offered to present the city with the bed of the river and the low-lying ground beside it. He attached certain conditions which the civic a-u- thorifioe balked at, but now the time seem: ripe for Toronto’s next. big annex- ation scheme to go through. When it does they lay thlt the author of the idea will staid a. good chance of going into the millionaire class. One of Mr. Home Smith’s conditions was that the city would construct and man- tain a driveway up the Humber Valley. This would connect with the sea-wall and boulevard, which some day. it, is hoped, will decorate the city’s waterfront from the Exhibition grounds west-ward. and would provide one of the longest and most picturesque city driveways to be found anywhere in ghe world. With international yacht races at T0- ronto and at Chicago, the first week in August sees the climax in the season's interest in yachting. For some reason or other yachting does not increase in po- pularity here. There is doubtless much more money invested in pleasure boats in Toronto than ever before, but that is be- cause every once in a while some million- aire takes it into his head to spend $100,- 000 on n steam yeah. and expensive motor boats also are increasing in number. But in the old-fashioned dinghys and other sailing craft where every man works for his passage, there is not much advance. Possibly accidents have held popularity in check. An amateur in a sailboat is about as awkward and as dangerous a. combination as one ever sees, and the occasional fatal upset. that happens always results in a lot of sailboats being put on the market. and makes a. lot of other peo- ple decide to find sport some other way. despite the many natural advantages of- fered by Toronto’s bay. TORONTO SPREADS WESTWARD. There are many people living who re- member when it was quite an expedition to visit the Humber river. which flows in- to Luke Ontario some five miles west of the foot of Yonge street. In the old days excursion bouts ran from the harbor to the Humber mouth. That was long be- fore the “Banish the Bar" era. 1nd if the ashes of some of the Humbor buildings recently destroyed by fire could talk, they could tell of many guy goingson. when the merry-makers from the then distant city arrived in force. Thé zrbwing interest in the hinterland is further evidenced by the Toronto Board 23f, Trade’s second expedition into it in orce.

Cynical critics of the Toronto street cars &ttaoh great signiflcmco to the fact that the one lone world's championship To- ronto secured at the Olympic Games was that for walking. But that single cham- pionship was very much worth while. Walking may not be considered much of a. sport or even an exercise. but it is very much of both, as George Goniding, world’s champion, walks. From the mo- ment he strikes his pace every muscle in his body seems to be in motionâ€"his hands, arms and body all seem to be helping his legs along. Not that he has the ungainly pump-handle Jerkiness which some walk- ers think gives them speed, for his 1110- tiona are every one graceful and he moves forward with a, speed that is impressive. so impressive that it generally gets the nerve of any competitor. Goulding‘s style has been criticized, but the best authorities say it is a perfectly legiti- mate walk. He is probably the best the world has seen. And that’s something for Toronto to be proud of. No wonder it gave him A warm. welcome home. SOME POLITICAL AMENITIES.

To take 116 representative old Ontario citizens. even if they are vote-hunting, into New Ontario. csnnot help but be good for both Old and New Ontario. The govern‘ ment, too, is getting credit for the spirit it showed in connection with the under- taking. A Temisknming and Northern Ontario Railway private our was placed at the disposal of Mr. Rowen, and gov- ernment ofloiais at various points were instructed to look after the comforts of the party.
