A dry March and a dry May portend a wholesome summer, it there be a showering April between. March comes in like a lion and goes put like a lamb. As many mists as ye have in March, so many frosts in July. Old March Proverbs. March, many weathers. March snow hurts the seed. March grass never did good. March winds and April showers Bring forth May flowers. A peek of March dust is worth a king’s ransom. The tebeldy tree is a fruitful source of trouble. Many tribal fights are waged solely because a man from one village is believed to have been seen climbing the trees of another. The trees belonging to a village of group of “tukls’” are not public property for the dwellers in that group. The Sheik and his family have the first claim on the water, and their share is claimed to a decimal point. Another man may have a family claim, going back through several generations, to a cer- tain proportion. RHEUMA'HC PEOPLE E CAN FIND RELIEF By Enriching Their Blood With Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. The enormous trunks are hollow. As soon as the rain begins the natives gather up the water in leathecr bags. An expert climber goes up the tree with a rope to which is attached the precious bag; he hauls it up with care, and empties the water into the hollow trunk. The hollowness is not the re- sult of age or disease, and the sur- rounding wood is absolutely water- tight. ' Each little group of “tukls” (huts) possesses its own trees. And on their contents the people live throughout the ten dry months. Rheumatism attacks people when the blood is clogged with impurities, thus setting up an inflammation of the muscles and joints. Cold or wet weather may start the tortures oi rheumatism, but it is not the cause, as was once supposed. The cause is thin or impure blood. Rubbing with lini- ments or applying hot applications may give relief, but that is all; the pains are soon back again. You must treat the trouble through the blood to get rid of it. The value of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills in cases of this kind is prov-ed by the following statement. Miss Margaret M. Cullen, writing on behalf of her grandmother, Mrs. A. McEwen, Ormstown, Que, says:â€"â€"-â€""My grandmother, now 85 years of age, was, some years ago, a great sufferer from nhreumaatis‘m. She tried many reme- dies, but found none that did her any good until she began using Dr. Wil- iinms’ Pink Pills. These she used for some months until every trace of rheumatism disappeared. Since then she has taken the pills at intervals. and they have kept her in the best of health. It is marvellous how well and active my grandmother is. She cooked the dinner for the threshers last fall, and she gives the credit for her good health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She is anxious that her experience with this srplendid medicine be given for the benefit of others.” It you are suffering from any trou- ‘ 16 due to poor or watery blood Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills will help you.

There are many ways of storing water, but the nathral cistern of the natives of Darfur west of’=the Soudan) seems to be the mom, wonderful. But for the tebetldy tree, Darfurites would perish from drought. These great trees grow in hollows, in which the rain collects during the wet sea- son, which lasts all through July and August.

Terrible News. An Irish servant girl asked leave of absence for an hour to consul-t a tor- tune-teller. She returned wailing dis- mally. To guard the baby against colds nothing can equal Baby's Own Tablets. .The Tablets are a mild laxative that will keep the little one's stomach and bowels working regularly. It is a. re cognlzed fact that where the stomach and bowels are in good order that colds will not exist; that the health of the little one will be good and that he will thrive and be happy. The new sales tax will not incnease the price of Baby’s Own Tablets, as the company pays the tax. You can still obtain the Tablets through any medicine dealer at 25 cents a. box, or by mail, post paid, from The Dr. Williams’ Meddcine 00., Brockville, Ont Royalties Now Curious About Labor Rule. With many European crowned heads visiting London ln the near future the British capital's society 13 looking for- ward to a brilliant season, despite some earlier uncertainties as to what would happen after the Labor Govern- ment was installed. The first of the royal vi'slto'm to Buckingham Palace will be the King and Queen of Human- la, followed by the King and Queen of Italy, the King and Queen of Jugoâ€" alavla and finally the Shah of Persia. But so far as the visit of the Italian sovereigns is concerned, it is certainly not induced by Labor’s rise to power, for they will be making a. return call. It is certain, too, that in View of the brilliant welcome given King George and Queen Mary when they went to Italy last year, their trip to London will be marked by a reception both cor- dial and memorable. Such state visits always make in- roads on the State's exchleque‘r, and, regardless of what party is in poWer, an appropriation will have 120 be made. At formal banquets in honor of visit- ing royalty it is customary for the heads of the Government to be pre- sent, so Mr. MacDonald and his prin- cipal Ministers will be called upon to participate in the dinners at Bucking- ham Palace. There are some who think Euro- pean crowned heads are anxious to visit Great Britain while Labor is in the saddle to satisfy their curiosity about any changes in the complexion which the British Government has taken on since Ramsay MacDonlad and his colleagues occupied their posts of governmental authority. GUARD THE BABY AGAINST COLDS The Prime Minister has caused some surprise by naming Lord Cromer as Lord Chamberlain; but it is an- nounced that, during the present ad- ministration at least. this important household appointment is not regard- ed as political. With Lord Cmmer oc- cupying this post, the Labor Prime Minister will have no worries about ceremonial blunders, as. Lord Cmmer filled the oifice for a long time, and his reappointment also meets with satisfaction in the social world. It had been thought that Mr. Mac- Donald might decide not to fill the post of Master of the Home, which on grounds of economy often has to be recommended for abolition, though in existence since the Norman conquest. He has, however, named the Earl of Granard, who held the incumlbency un- der Sir Henry Campbell Banmennan. Resourceful Johnny. Up to that time relief was sought by methods that to the modern mind seem distressingly crude. Drugs and similar compositions made from the poppy, belladonna, solanum, mandrake, mandmgora, and ne'penthe were ad- ministered hy the mouth. One of the earliest records of this form of anaesthetic occurs in Chinese history, which shows that a physician in the third century put his patients to sleep by using a preparation of hemp. The ancient Britons stewed certain herbs and inhaled the fumes by way of inducing sleep. Pain is the Bugbear of the human race. By many it is dreaded more than death itself. Yet, although pain has always dogged man's footsteps, it was not until about one hundred years ago that the problem of vanquishing it was systematically studied. ducing prc use in su: In 1800 perimenti: The recent discovery of a new anaesthetic marks another step for- ward in man's unceasing fight against pain. tee flul The Romance of Anesthetics. 6X [1 t boonsâ€"Lhat of c entlst Six- Humphrey Davy, ex- ; in his laboratory with is, discovered its sleep-pro- perties, and suggested its ntury, Lance 16 I certify thn flu above Balance Sheet is in ltcol’d with ‘he books of The Sllndud Bank of Candi.
