« STRENGTH FOR *’ WEAK sromc ‘Can Only Be Had Through ‘ Rich Red Blood ' When the blood is poor and thin 'and the stomach in consequence is imperfectly supplied with oxidized blood and nerve force, the diges- ‘tive process becomes slow and fer- ‘mentations of the food goes on, with ‘the formation of gas and certain acids. The. pressure of the gas causes pain in the stomach; some- times it affects the heart. When ‘ the gas is belched out through the 7mouth the patient is temporarily ‘relieved, the sour risings in the throat, and the burning sensations ‘in the throat and stomach are ‘caused by the acid fermentations. [There are plenty of things to neu- itralize these acids, or to “sweeten the stomach,” as it is called, but they do not cure the tro\‘ble. Pure, Erich blood which will tone up the stomach and enable it to do the ,work nature intended it to do, is the only road a cure. Dr. Wilâ€" liams’ Pink Pills make new, rich, red bloodâ€"that is why they cure even the most obstinate cases of in- digestion. The following is a bit of proof. Miss Minnie Greene, of ' Hall’s Bridge, Ont., says: “About a year ago I was greatly troubled with my stomach. Everything I ate caused me pain and distress. I Would feel as though I was starved, but when meal time came the sight of food caused a feeling of loathing. There were days when I could not even hold milk on my stomach, and my head would. ache so that I could hardly keep from screaming. Only those who have suffered from stoâ€" mach trouble know the torture I suffered. I tried almost every re- medy recommended, but found not the least benefit until I began tak- ing Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. These I used for a couple of months and '/they worked a perfect cure and I am enjoying good health and able to eat freely all kinds of food.” 1 If you are suffering from indigesâ€" tion or any other trouble due to {poor watery blood, begin to cure {surlsel'f today by the use of Dr. illiams’ Pink Pills.

A Berlin Character Dies in Charity Hospital. I Linden Julie, who took her name from the Unter den Linden thorâ€" oughfare, Berlin, Germany, on which she kept a vain watch daily for 42 years for the return of her soldier ‘lover, is dead. A mild: insanity seized Julie when. her sweetheart failed to return from D the Francoâ€"German War in 1871. She never lost faith that he would some day turn up, and, rain or shine, huddled up in a shawl, she kept watch in the streets, each year growing more ragged and whiteâ€" haired. The police made an excep- tion of her case in the rule which does not allow loiterers on the street, as they had compassion upon the faithful Julie. ' A little more than a. year ago she was so worn with age that she was taken to the Charity Hospital, where she died recently. . *- “Did your rich uncle mention you in his will ’2” “Yes.” “Lucky ,dogl” “Not at all.

H {Mill [Hill IlUMIURflllil WHAT IS BEING DISCUSSED IN THE CITY AT THE PRESENT TIME. Outside and Inside Legislative Hallsâ€"Dan- ger of High Waterâ€"Enormous Figures â€"Mllllons for Schools. As this is Written the tulip beds sur- rounding the Parliament Buildings in Queen's Park are a blaze of glory, the verdure of the grass and trees has reached a mid-June maturity and the idyllic scene breathes no suspicion of the stirring events within the brown stone walls that marked the closing days of the session of 1915. Someway the tranquility and beauty of May in Queen’s Park do not fit in with violent pa’rtisan disputes. A wintry scene is not inappropriate. After one has braved the stinging west wind which in February or March sweeps across the long paved path from College street to the buildings and swirls and eddies around the entrance with particular viciousness, it seems to be in accord with the fitness of things that the warring of the elements outside should be! matched with political turbulence in- si e. ‘ A May prorogation of the,,Legislature is unusual. Needless to say, it is not po- pular with the members, and when the Lieutenant, Governor (garbed this time in plain black trousers, not the gay white satin which earlier in the year added to the splendor of the occasion) attended to despatch the final formalities, there was a bare quorum of members in attendance. The Proudfoot charges which were the chief cause of the late prorogation pre vented the annual disbanding being char acterized by that feeling of goodfellowship among the members which is generally observable. The British House of Com- mons has been described as the first club in the world. and the Spirit of the club is noticeable also in the Legislature. ln ordinary times members of the opposing parties mix on terms of the utmost friend- liness, and one who pictures them as mor- tal enemies, hardly speaking to one an- other, ls badly mistaken. But an incident such as the Proudfoot attack, rousing partisan feelings and resulting in charges of unfairness on both sides, does much to bury inter-party friendliness. On such occasions the good fellows retire to the background and the fighters come to the 'ront. U Lake Ontario on Rampage. Some apprehension is felt on account of the unusually high level of the water in Lake Ontario during the present year. It is now almost three feet higher than the average, and as it generally continues ris- ing until early in June, it is possible that all records, which have been kept for 50 years back. will be broken. No one understands what causes the fluctuation of the wafer level in the Great Lakes. At Toronto fluctuations have been observed covering a range of six feet. The lowest ever recorded was when the level sank to 242.92 feet above the mean sea level at New York. This was on May 18th, 1895. The highest reached was on May 6th, 1870, when the level was 248.96 feet above the mean level at New York. For a few weeks past the level has been hovering around 248 feet, or, as it is technically described, 56 inches above zero. Zero being a point fixed at 245 feet above the New York level. Theories that the high water is caused by unusually big spring fneshets do not stand investigation. One geologist says that peculiar vibrations of the earth’s sur- face causes the water to rise and fall. ‘ . being spent by the city on its public school The danger of high water is the damage that may be occasioned to wharves, docks and beaches and the inconvenience caused to shipping. The water in Toronto har- bor is now close to the top of the wharvee and boats unload under difficulties. Some authorities fear that if we were to have a severe and long continued storm from the east, which would pile the water up at this end of the Lake, the result to To- ronto's Island might be disastrous. The Island is only a sand bar and at no point is more than a few feet above the level of the lake. High water has flooded it before, but a severe storm might have a more disastrous effect in shifting its very foundations. Toronto Has “Big Eyes." According to the estimates of the City of Toronto for the financial year, the City roposcs to spend the enormous sum of $9,146,142.00 This figure is deceptive. The actual current expenditures for the year amount to $1,744,956.00. The balance of something over $27,000,000.00 is made up of items which might be described as ea- pital expenditures. that is, they are for permanent improvements. The significant thing about the figure is that it indicates what an enormous development is under way. The largest item in the total is an amount of less than seven million dollars for a waterworks extension scheme. There is another two and a half million dollars provided for the Bloor Street. Viaduct. An item of approximately one million dollars is set aside for a garbage incinerator plant. The other items are the ordinary run of public works. That they should amount to such a large total indicates the present temper of the citizens generally toward extension. There is no possibility that all of this sum will be spent during the present year. The cash will be raised by the sale of bonds and debentures, and as there is al- ready some twelve million dollars of these securities undigested, the prospects for fresh sales are not of the best. Even with the money available it would not be pos- sible to do more than begin a number of the public works included in this year's estimates. 0f the eleven million odd, to be spent on current expenditures, almost three and a half million is provided by revenue producing assets such as the waterworks. The balance of $8,546,638 is to be raised bv taxation, which is to be levied on the tax-payer at the rate of 191-2 mills. On the whole it may be said that the city is taking Mr. W. F. Maclean’s advice and has been getting “big eyes." Attacks on Toronto’s Schools. Toronto spends over a million and a half dollars a year on the maintenance of its dressmaking. at a salary of $1,500 a year. The argument in favor of the fade and frills. is that they are practical, but it is doubtful if they always realize that standard. . Mayor Hocken is advocating a radical change in the system of levying taxation for school purposes. At present the school taxes are included in the general tax rate and roughly amount to about one-thirdof the total, or a fraction over six mills on the dollar. The taxesrare collected by the city, but the City Council has little juris- diction in the spending of the money, which is done by the Board of Education. The Mayor’s scheme is to separate the school taxes from the general taxes and let the Board of Education be directly re- sponsible to the people for the collection of its own money and the spending of it. He thinks the Board of Education extrava- gant and apparently wants to wash his hands of it. .._..._.â€"â€"â€"JX< l’arboilcd. “That’s a badâ€"looking thumb you have, waiter,” said the diner. “Does it hurt you '1” “No, sir,” reâ€" plied thexwaiter. “It is parboiled. ._~ public schools.

Shortly after the revolution of 1911â€"1912 in China there was a marked tendency among the middle and better classes of Chinese to adopt European dress. Most. of those who could afford to mode the change, but the bulk of the people, laborers, artisans and small shop- â€" keepers, could not afford it. How- ever, there was a large demand for up 20 per cent. of this loss. This in itself is definite proof that the Chinese are tiring of alien raiemrernt. It Unreasonable Turkey.
