The truth of these statements has been proved in thousands of cases through- out Canada, and the following cure is a striking instance. Mrs. F. M. Simp- son, RR. No. 1, Blenheim, Ont, says: “For a long time I was confined to my bed, and actually crippled with rheu- matism. The trouble first located in my ankleâ€"which was much swollen. I thought it might be a sprain. but the doctor said it was rheumatism and advised me to go to bed so that the trouble would not be aggravated. I did as directed, but instead of get- ting better it spread first to my right knee, then to my left knee, and then 1to my arms. The limbs were much swollen, and if I moved them caused me considerable pain. I seemed to get weak in other respects and fell off 1 i l L in Weight from 156 to 110 pounds. I had no appetite and seemed to lose interest in everything. One day while reading a paper I came across the case of a rheumatic sufi'crer cured by using Dr. Williams Pink Pills. I decided to try them and sent for three boxes. By the time these were gone I had certainly begun to improve, and with help was able to get up. Con- tinuing the use of the pills I was first able to go about with the use ofi a crutch, which later I discarded for a cane. and then through theuse of the pills I was able to throw aside the cane as well, and go about as briskly as I had ever done. I feel that Dr. iWilliams Pink Pills have been a jblessing to me, and I strongly re- lcommend them to other similar suf- ferers."

Boil the apples rapidly until they become so tender as to be }mushy, otherwise they will sink to the ‘bottom and scorch. Continue the cooking more slowly. If the quantity [is small, run the aples through the lcolander, place the pulp in a stone ' crock and cook it in a slow oven, stir- ring it at intervals of fifteen minutes; otherwise stir it constantly from time to prevent it scorching and to make it smooth. If the butter is not smooth when it has the right consis- itency, add a little cider and continue |the boiling and stirring. Add sugar ‘at any time if butter is not sweet en- ough to suit the taste. Useful Hints. An hour should elapse after a meal before taking a bath. A linen case to hold a pair of rub- bers is an excellent gift. There is no use telling a boy to stop doing something he ought not to do, unless you show him better to do! in its place. Earthly roots should be well scrub: bed before peeling. Green vegetables should always be cooked in salted water. To clean plaster-ofâ€"paris figures, sprinkle them with a thick coating of starch and water. When this is dry the dirt will brush off with the dry powder. Clean your sewing machine fre- quently if you would have good ser- vice. Kerosene oil and absorbent cot- ton are admirable for the purpose; follow with a good lubricator. “I haven‘t enough suit hangers to hang my clothes." Roll up a thick section of the newspaper, and tie a string around the middle with a loop. That will do just as well.

The notion is somewhat widely cur- rent that the raising of wages in a period of rising prices simply keeps‘ up the action of a vicious economic circle; that you make wages higher to meet the high prices, and that then you have to make the prices still higher to meet the high wages, says New York Post. In some par- iticular instances, the highest. wages ldo cabse the rising of prices; but broadly speaking, the idea is quite false. The process is one of read- justment to a new scale of prices; those who carry on various business enterprises reap an abnormal profit through the rise of prices, and when they have yielded up some of this to back to a condition of equilibrium. When wages are raised in the steell industry, for example, in such condi-i tions as exist to-day, that is not in the least a factor tending to raise; = any dealer in medicine or get them by imail at 50 cents a box or six boxes 3for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams Medicine 00., Brockville, Ont. o 0 Couldn't Fool Dinny.
