Quotations must in- clude putting appendix back and can- celling the order if found sound.

How to Make the Test That Tells. PALE face, a nervous, irritable disposition, a lack of strength and enduranceâ€"these are the warning sig- nals that Nature gives when your blood is getting thin. pale, watery and starving for iron. Iron is constantly leaving the body, especially toward the period of middle age and you must make up for this iron deficiency it you want to escape disease and be strong and well. When the iron in your blood runs low signs of old age creep into your system. In such cases ordinary iron- containing foods seldom supply a suf- ficient quantity of this important ele- ment to makeup for the waste. There fore, many physicians now prescribe a. concentrated form of organic ironâ€" Nuxated Ironâ€"which contains iron like the iron in your blood. It you are not sure of your condi- tion, go to your doctor and hsve him take your blood-count, or else make the following test yourself: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired; next take two five-grain tablets of Nuxated ‘Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks.

ASPIREN Does Your Blood Need Iron? 6RANGE PEKOE QUALITY The mechanism of the human ear has been known during long ages, but the manner in which it conveys defin- ite information to the brain is quite another announcement, however learn- edly we may speak of sound-waves striking upon the drum of the ear, set- ting up a vibration which is communi- cated to the brain by a row of white threads attached to a series of won- derfully-articulated bones. That these threads, like the aerials which catchthe flutterings of the ether bearing sounds across the At- Elantic, and give them rebirth exactly las they were born three thousand miles away, to the last squeak of the clarinet o-r chirp of the piccolo, trans- late to our brains the meaning con- veyed by the air vibrations which lap against the ear-drum or tympanum does not greatly help us. This is hardly a trick, but it will be an Interesting stunt to try some time. It will not always. it should be said. be successful. but you will be surprised to find how often it works just as it should. Write on aVsHp of paper the numbers 7, 13 and 15. ‘ Ask a spectator to hold this slip of paper, but not to look at what you wrote until you give him the word to do so. Ask another spectator to men- tion any number between 5 and 10, another to mention any num- ber between 10 and 15 and an- other to mention any number be- tween 10 and 20. We call the threads nerves, but how the tympanum adapts itself by con- traction and relaxation, without our will intervening, to the different pitch of sounds, we have no idea. We only know that it does. More often than not, the num- bers 7. 13 and 15 will be given. Almost invariably, at least two of the answers will be in accord with your prediction.

Tea growers have found from experi- ence that it is necessa immediately to pack tea. in air-tig t metal-lined chests, to preserve the flavor and good- ness of the leaf. Equally so is an air- tlght package necwsary for the small lots of tea. for individual consumption. Bulk tea. is always inferior tea. because it is exposed to air. The “SALADA” air-tight aluminum package is the most efficient way of preserving tea known. Many of the species which can be used on the prairies are very rapid growers. for example, cottonwood, wil- low, Russian poplar, and Manitoba maple.

Canadian National Railways. has been announced by Sir Henry Thornton. Chairman and President of the System. Some of Its Causes and How Re- lief May be Obtained. Many people suffer from nervous in- digestion. The commonest causes are worry, over-work, lack of exercise, or a general run down condition of the system. It is a disease of the nerves rather than of the digestive organs, and is corected by giving needed nour- ishment to the nervous system and building up the blood. The treatment consists largely in rest, recreation and the use of a true tonic such as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In addition, the patient should follow a careful diet, and avoid coffee and stimulants, these being unsuitable for nervous people. As one’s nerves rely for nourishment upon the blood, the latter must be built up and made rich and pure, which is just what Dr. Wil- iiams’ Pink Pills do. If there is loss of weight and pallor, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are especially helpful. Mrs. Adolphus Villeneuve, RR. No. 2, Apple Hill, tells as follows how she obtained reliefzâ€""I was so bad with nervous indigestion that I could not digest anything I took, and as a con- sequence was a great sufferer. I doc- tored for four months, but seemed to be getting worse instead of better. I lost strength to such an extent that I could- hardly go about. Then my mother came to see me, and urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I followed her advice and got a supply at once. After taking a few boxes I felt my strength returning, and I con- tinued their use, until at the end of a few months I could eat anything I de- sired, had regained my old time health and strength, and was in every way a twell woman. I am so thankful for what Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills did for me that I always advise their use when any of my friends are run down or ailing." Misunderstandings may separate friends far more widely than either time or space.

How to protect goods from the at- tacks of worms has always been a hard problem for packers of dried fruis and cereals.

"From my long experience as a pro- fessional nurse, I do not hesitate to say I consider TANLAC the most ef- ficient and natural stomach medicine and tonic to be had. It is undoubtedly Nature's most perfect remedy." is the far reaching statement given out for publication recently by Mrs. I. A.

This will be accomplished by deep- ening the bed of the Seine from Paris to Rouen to insure a. minimum of six- teen or seventeen feet of water. This will be s-umcient to care for the winter freshets and also make the river navigable for vessels of from 2000 to 2500 tons, 260 feet in length and draw- ing flfteen feet. The plan is put for- ward by M. Le Trocquer, Minister of Public Works. France's finances do not permit the plan to be rushed to completion. The work, which is estimated to cost in the vicinity of 1,000,000,000 francs. will be extended over a period of fit- teen years and paid for out of the an- nual credits. One of the valuable "by- products" of the scheme will be the increased electric power created by the number of waterfalls resulting from replacing the existing s-luices with much larger ones. Several appli- cations for concessions o! the tails were filed immediately when the plan was announced.
