WHAT A REAL TONIC WILL DO If you look in your dictionary you will find the word “tonic” defined as “a medicine that increases the strength and vigor of the system.” That tells why Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are a real tonic. Thousands of men and women are ailing to- day, not sick in bed, but without strength and ambition, utterly tired out after a day’s work. No one organ Seems to be at fault, yet the whole system is lacking in health. They do not sleep well and are al- Ways tired and nervous, many have headaches, backaches and stomach trouble. All these people need the tonic help of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. The beneficial influence of this medicine reaches the whole system. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills do more than relieve the symptoms, they actually remove the cause of the trouble. The case of Mrs. J. H. , Sharpe, Lon-don, Ont., is one in proof of the above statements. Mrs. Sharpe says :â€"â€"“I was so run down and weak that life was a burden. The least exertion would exhaust me so greatly that I could hardly breathe. If going up stairs, I would have to rest several minutes when I reached the top. My heart would palpitate until I felt as if it would choke me. I was extremely nervous, in fact a complete wreck, and would sometimes have to reâ€" main in bed for a couple of days or more at a time. I found no help from medicine until I began using Dr. Williams’ I’ink' Pills, and my experience with them was that they made a complete cure. I gained in weight and my friends tell me I look younger than I did ten years agoâ€"I know I certainly feel youn« Fer. I feel sure that what Dr. Wilâ€" iams’ Pink Pills have done for me they will do to other women if given a fair chance.” If you are at all unwell do not fail to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and you will find new health and strength.

Mud in River Jordan No Inconveni- enee to Filmy Toilcrs. The abundance of fish in the Sea of Galilee is to this day the wonder of travellers. Most of the fishing done by the Syrians involves the use of nets, probably identical in construction with those of the apostles, and the best evidence of the fishing having through the cen- turies been done with nets is to be found in the case with which most of the fish may be deceived with the help of any bait, natural or artifiâ€" cial. The pellucid water of this beautiful lake, with its ever chang- ing reflections, is in striking con- trast with the muddy deeps of the Jordan, but the silt in that river, however unsightly to the eye, does not seem to inconvenience the fish, which are extraordinarily plenti« tul even in the lower reaches before it falls into that deathly lake which the Arabs call the Sea of Lot.

One reads of many ingenious ways of attracting the public attention to any particular new feature, but most readers will agree that the following is really an uncommon adâ€" vertisement : A well known travelling circus visited at Colombo some weeks ago, and startled the public at large by stating that, among other prizes to be distributed amongst the audi- ence, would be several fine bullocks. On visiting the circus, each perâ€" son was provided with several num- bered tickets, according to the price of seat. At the conclusion of the performance, a quantity of similar- ly numbered tickets were drawn from a bag, each of which, of course, entitled the owner of that number to a. prize. On the first evening of this novel prize distribution, two sailors were the lucky winners of two splendid Indian bullorcks. Imagine the ex- citement as they went forward to claim their animals and eventually lead them away, after a series of tussles, by a piece of rope, through the town. Zam-Buk Was Then Tried and: Worked a Cure. Writing from Poplar, B.C., Mrs. C. Hanson, wife of the proprietor of the Commercial Hotel, says: “I suffered for years with bleeding piles. The pain was so bad at times that I could hardly walk, and or- dinary remedies seemed utterly un- able to give me any case. Finally I decided to undergo an operation, and went to the Sacred Heart Hos- pital in Spokane. There they per- formed an operation and did all they could for me. For a time I was certainly better, but within 12 months the trouble started again and the piles became as painful as ever. I tried liniments, hot poul- ticesY various ‘pile cures,’ and inâ€" deed everything I could think would be likely to do any good, but still I continued to suffer, and the shootâ€" ing, burning, stinging pains, the dull, aching and wretched ‘worn- out’ feeling that the disease causes continued as bad as ever. OPERATION FOR FILES FAILED “One day I read about Zamâ€"Buk and thought I would try it. The first one or two boxes gave me more. ease than anything else I had tried, so I went on with the treatment. In a short time I began to feel al- together different and better, and I saw that Zamâ€"Buk was going to cure me. Well, I went on using it, and by the time I had used six boxes I was delighted to find my- self entirely cured. That was three years ago, and from then to the present time there has been no re- turn of the trouble.” for price “I‘illuig‘girébs and stores everywhere, 50c. box, or Zamâ€"Buk (30., Toronto, “But, George,” protested the lovely glrl, “your salary is only $20 a week, and we can’t live on that l.” “Darling,” exclaimed George, “you don"t suppose I’d be mean enough to ask you to throw up your $10 a week job‘ do you l” “The Whifforbys put on a great deal of style, considering the fact that they hardly know Where they Will get toâ€"morrow’s dinner.” “Some method in their madness, though.

In his home at Waldegrove, N. 8., no' one is better known than SergtsMajor‘ Cross, late of the 4th Queen's Own Hue ears. Speaking of the ill-effects of a cam- ‘ paign upon a man’s constitution, the S‘ergteMajor writes: “I served under General French during the late Boer war. in the capacity of Sewn-Major. It was perhaps owing to a continued diet of bully beef, hard tack, and bad water, but at any rate my stomach entirely gave out.

TURflNTfl CURRESP‘HNDENEE INTERESTING BITS 0F GOSSIP FROM THE QUEEN CITY. Provincial Treasurer's Deathâ€"The Suffra- gists' Movement â€" Toronto's High Buildingsâ€"Politics at University. The death of Colonel A. J. Matheson removes from the legislature a member who, next to the Premier himself, had the record for long service in the House. His absence will make a large gap, for Colonel Matheson, even in the days of opposition when he was only a private member, was assiduous in his attendance to duty. It, was a rare day when his seat in the House was vacant. Not only was heconscienti- ous to a degree, thereby differing from many members who only report in the House for the purpose of drawing their sessional indemnity, but. he took a real personal interest in nearly every topic that came up for discussion. This wide interest in all sorts of subjects_was one of the distinguishing characteristics of Iolonel Matheson’s mental make up, and it had not a little to do with making him such a useful member of the legislature. He was not as frequent a. speaker as some others, but when he did speak it was not because he liked to be in the limelight, but because he had information or an opinion, arrived at after due thought. which he considered would be of benefit in the deliberation. ' His Sincerity and Problty. I would say the outstanding feature of Colonel Matheson‘a character was his ab- solute sincerity. If he made mistakes they were mistakes about which there could be no suggestion of crookedness or double-dealing or other unworthy motive. This fact was recognized by opposition as well as by friend. And while his critics frequently attacked his judgment they never attacked his probity. Colonel Matheson was not. a great orator. He spoke in a high key, and with consid- erable effort But his speeches were made interesting and carried weight because of themsinoerity and the conviction behind the . A bachelor to the end of his days. 001- onel Matheson was frequently made the butt of jests in the House on this ac- count. All these, however, he took in good part and often returned them in kind. It was appropriate that when the final call came it should find him in his lib- rary, for the late Provincial Treasurer was an inveterate reader. Women Sufiraglsts‘ Progress. The local women suffrage movement is getting a foothold. A year or two ago when the issue first began to liven things up in England, the interest here was pret- ty mild and academic. and one rarely met any person, even among women, who ever got excited on the subject. Thanks to the spectacular doings in England and to a persistent propaganda. by a few local en- thusiasts. this condition of things is changing. Suffrage is now a live topic of discussion. And from a. condition where nearly everyone professed to be mildly in favor of women Bufi‘rageâ€"â€""if they want- ed it"~there are crystallizing strong de- finite and opposing Opinions.

Most European cities have low buildings, and are prevented by law from having any other. Many of Toronto's bank buildings are fashioned after the English modelfilow and ornate. This clash of English archi- tecture with American architecture prom- ises to make down town Toronto exceed- ingly interesting from an architectural standpoint, though it ruins forever any prospect of symmetry or consistency. Party Politics In Unlverslty. The proposal to introduce party politics into the undergraduate body at the Uni- versity of Toronto may lead to conse- quences. From the earliest times to the present day undergraduate politics have been colorless; and to the outside publk: meaningless. There have always been two parties, but their platforms were gener- ally joke platforms without reference to political party lines or anything else of a serious nature. The present movement seeks to bury these old parties in the dead past and to have the students in their undergraduate bodies. such as the Liter- ‘ ary Society, come out frankly and divide Ias Grits and Tories, discussing and de- ‘bating the public issues of the day from this standpoint: The backers of the movement say this would give them a real preparation for public life after graduation, that now they are learning much about the poli- tics of ancient Rome, but nothing about those of modern Canada. Also they point out that the undergraduates of Oxford discuss politics without harm or molesta- tlon‘ u On the other hand the University of To- ronto, being a state institution, the dis- cussion of politics therein might raise some delicate situations. Sir game‘s Whit- ney made a somewhat oracular declara- tion on the subject, in which he seemed m threaten the whole movement with ex- tinction. It is claimed by Liberals that at present they greatly predominate numerically at. the University. Whether this fact has anything to do with the movement or with Sir James‘ hostility cannot be stated. W‘ F U Recieve “£1115 Braceie‘fi: Free . - To ANY GIRL .61" Englnaering Problems.
