“The Poor Man’s Potato” has become the rich man’s luxury. Whether at three dollars a bushel, or " twenty-five cents a bushel, potatoes are not a complete food. Two or three Shred- ded Wheat Biscuits with milk furnish more real, body-building nutriment than a meal of potatoes or meat, are much more easily digested and cqst much less.

PERFECTION or BIRDS. ‘ 4 â€"_P ...oâ€"- _._.. _ Etc-like Human Beings, the Feathered Songsters Never Make a Discord. It is a wellâ€"known fact that {human lwings must. be trained for 'years and years before they can arâ€" lrire at any choral perfection birds ‘can, no matter in how great numbers, sing in unison and produce no disâ€" .cord whatever. Even the best of singâ€" .crs when singing together cannot avoid an occasional clash of tone and the production of disharmony. Man, with all of the training which genera- tions have given him, cannot approach the birds for purity of tone. Although every species of bird the forest met in a glade and sang to- gether, the result would be pleasing to the ear. Each bird warbles in a different key, singing a song totally distinct from its mate, yet perfection is obtained. The explanation of this lies in the fact that birds never sing out of tune, their notes are always pitched exactly on the key and no gradations of tone t In a shortâ€"sleeved shirt and a pair of overalls a small boy can start out to do most any of the things he wants to do, such as making a railroad, dig- ging a trench or even fighting the enemy.

Nourish your nervesâ€"that is the only way you can overcome life’s worst misery, nervous exhaustion. The fits of, depression and irritation, the prostrating headaches, the weak- ness and trembling of the legs, the unsteady hand and the imperfect div, gestion that mark the victim of nerve weakness, must end in nervous breakdown if neglected. . Nourish your nerves by the natural process of filling your veins with rich, red, healthâ€"giving blood. Your nerves are crying out for pure blood and the mission of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills is to make new, rich blood. This explains why these pills have proved successful in so many cases of nervous disease that did not yield to ordinary treatment. For example, Mr. Wilfrid Donald, West Flamboro, Ont, says :â€"â€"“Before I began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I was in a serious condition. I was not only badly run down, but my' nerves seemed to be completely shat- tered. I slept badly at night, and when I got up in the ‘morning was as tired as when I went to bed. I seemâ€" ed to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown. At this stage I began the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. In the course of a few weeks I felt much relief, and continuing the use of the pills they completely restored my health. I can now sleep soundly, eat well, and am enjoying complete freedom from the old nervous trou- bles.” You can get Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Wil- liams’ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. HUMORS OF “RED TAPE.” Some Amusing Instances Which Come From England. One of the most amusing instances of the fussiness of red-tapeism is told by a certain officer who was sent on a special mission to Liverpool, says an English writer. He returned his ex- penses to the authorities on the oili- cial form, one of the items being “Porter, 6d.” The form came back “Major should have returned the item as ‘porterage.”’ Major made the alteration, and then glancing through the remaining items, found “Cab, 25. 0d.," which he thoughtfully . transformed to “Cabbage.” An officer who is a very busy man once, in a rush, sent for twopenny- which cost him half-a-crown. Later,‘ he got an imposing communication,l set out on foolscap paper, pointingl out that pins being provided at the} public expense. a forniâ€"XL41578-32 â€"should have been sent in for them. and that Form YXPSTU‘JO should have been sent in to meet "ne case of files A certain South of England \vorkâ€". .house had been turned into a military hospital.

Nature is not ordinarily to be ac-i cused of trying to be funny, but once ‘- ‘iu a while she seems to indulge in! a bit of humor on her own account. Of this u very remarkable example is found in a species of crab plentiful 1 tin Japanese waters. It bears on its' back a Japanese face. It is the face of a fierce warrior of old Japan. The Japanese have a tradition to acâ€" count t‘or this curious phenomenon. The story harks back a few centuries, to a period when the seas that wash the shores of their archipelago weret ‘much beset by ferocious pirates. . To put a stop to their depredations ‘a fleet of fighting ships was prepared, and there presently ensued a battle of the most desperate kind with the pirate fleetw-the buccaneers being formidany organized. l The pirates were defeated, their isbips sunk; and, no quarter being. lgiven, they were wiped out to the last ‘man. That was the end of organized Ipiracy in those waters. ‘ So far, the story is historically .authentic. One is at liberty to believe lor not the theory entertained by thel [Japanese to this day, that the souls 'of the men slaughtered and drowned [in that battle entered the bodies of ‘crabs. l If you discredit the idea, they will ishow you the crabs, every one of lwhich has the face of a Japanese tfighting man on its back. Further- more, the face, with its bloated fea- tures, is that of a drowned man. A curious point about this taira crab, as it is called, is that it has a set of supplementary legs, by the help of which, if it happens to be turned over, it can run swiftly on its back, 0 MONEY ORDERS WHEN ordering goods by mail, send CHILD-LOVER'S SONG. ;0 Thou who giv'st what most I prizeâ€"â€" ‘ The love of little children; No gum so precious in mine eyesâ€"â€" The love of little children! part ; The love of little children? 1No wealth as this can fill my heartâ€"â€" The love of little children.

Swimming is an accomplishment of more importance to men, women, boys and girls than any of the other sports, yet comparatively few can swim. As it is easier for children to learn than it is for adults, they should be given the opportunity whenever possible. They love the water, as a rule, and if there is no body of water near at hand, let them don their bathing suits and go out into the summer rain for a frolic. As the suits are easily made at home, the children could affOrd to have them ready for a rainy day, especially as they save good clothes and furnish so much genuine fun. On an extremely hot day, thus equipped, they may frolic it. the back-yard with the hose. ,When Your Eyes Need Care Use Murine Eye Medicine. NoSmartiugâ€"F‘eels Fineâ€"Acts Quickly.
