BONNOT'S RHEUMATISM CURED BY DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS | And With It Went All Those Symp- toms Which Mark the Earlier A Stages of Kidney Trouble. Grand Clairiere, Man., May 29th (Special.)--"All persons who suffer from rheumatism should use Dodd's Kidney Pills." This is the statement volunteered by Mr. P. A. Bonnot, a well-known resident of this place. Asked to give the reasons why Mr. Bonnot said: "I suffered for three years from rheumatism. I consulted a doctor with- Four boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills fixed. me up." "That rheumatism is caused by sick kidneys failing to strain the uric acid out of the blood was again shown in Mr. Bonnot's case. His earlier symp- toms were: heart flutterings, broken and unrefreshing sleep, fitful appe- tite, a tired nervous feeling, a heavi- ness after meals, neuralgia and back- ache. When he cured his kidneys with Dodd's Kidney Pills the rheumatism and all the other symptoms of kid- ney trouble disappeared. *, %* PRINCESS LIKE "PETER PAN." Mary Is Nineteen, But Very Girlish In Her Ways. "She's just like one of our own lasses," a Canadian soldier remark- ed of Princess Mary the day he was one of the party of wounded entertain- ed by the King and Queen at Bucking- ham Palace, and he proudly displayed - the invitation card to the Palace which the Princess had autographed for him. It was only one of dozens of such cards that she had good-naturedly signed. When she wasn't pouring out tea she was surrounded by little groups 'of soldiers and sailors who begged her to write her name on their cards, too, and in each case the Princess smilingly agreed. Princess Mary has been aptly call- ed the "Peter Pan" Princess, so ex- tremely girlish and youthful is she in her ways, so much so that it seems hard to believe that she recently cele- brated her nineteenth birthday, and that if there had been no war she would have been one of last season's debutantes. But she enjoyed the homely birth- day tea-party given to her own inti- mate little circle of girl friends who came to help her eat the wonderful three-tiered cake the royal chef had made for her, even so much more than she would have enjoyed a regul- lation court ball given in her honor with all its attendant trappings of state for, like Queen Mary, the Prin- cess has very simple tastes. She is gifted with the sound common sense of her mother, too, and forms very decided views. Once some of her friends were hav- ing a friendly little argument as to which profession produces the brav- est men. Some said the army, others the navy, others voted for the medi- cal profession. The Princess listened very quietly to what they all had to say, and then remarked very deliberately, "I think you're all wrong. To my mind air- men are the bravest men that can be found." She goes about a great deal with her mother now, accompanying her to most social functions which have the helping of our soldiers and sail- ors as their object. She works very hard indeed for the Queen's Needle- work Guild, and the table in her own little sitting-room at Buckingham Palace is always covered with gar- ments she is makifig for the soldiers and sailors and for the children of the poor. "What a pity it isn't Mary who's to be King," the Prince of Wales re- marked one day as a tiny lad, "she's so clever and she's so good at man- aging us all." And her brothers are managed by "Mary" to this day. A Words in Your Vocabulary. The vocabulary of a rich and long- cultivated language like: the English may be roughly estimated at about 100,000 words (although this excludes a great deal which, if English were understood in its widest sense, would have to be counted in) but 30,000 is a very large estimate for the number 'ever used, in writing or speaking, by a well-educated man; 3,000 to 5,000, it has been carefully estimated, cover the ordinary neads of cultivated in- tercourse.

British Battery Doing Effective Work at the Front. There is a battery of eighteen- pounders at the Front which is driv- ing the fear of death into the hearts of the Huns. It is not without rea- son, for those six guns rarely speak without sending a tale of woe which finds an echo in many a German home. Coming to France with a reputa- tion for deadly shooting gained in many a hard-fought campaign against the wild tribesmen of the North-West frontier of Inida, the battery speedily gained the affections of Atkins by effective work, and the fact that it rarely fires more: than one round. "Blimme!" cried a Cockney, who was quick to note this characteristic, "it's a fair knock-out!" and there and then christened the captain in charge "One-Round Anderson"--a sobriquet which is likely to stick. The captain, a born scout, is out from early morn till dewy eve search- ing for. columns on the march and supply trains. Once located, he has the guns speedily trained on a spot they must pass, and the gun teams, eager as terriers on the leash, watch his every movement. "Get ready, there!" finds every man on the tip-toe of excitement, and the rapped-out order "Fire!" is followed by the roar of the guns as they fol- low one another in rapid succession. "You've got 'em, boys!" nonchalant- ly observes the captain, and strolls away to his quarters as the gun teams gaze after him with that look Atkins reserves for the officer who really "counts." --e% ROAD 1,400 MILES LONG. The World's Greatest Highway Is In * India. Search where you will, you will find no highway in the whole world so ro- mantic as the Grand Trunk Road of India. A stately avenue of thrée roads in one--the centre of hard metal, the roads on each side ankle-deep in silvery dust--fringed by double rows of trees, it runs for 1,400 miles through the vast northern plain which skirts the Himalayas, from Calcutta to far Peshawur, which lieeps sentinel at the gate of Afghanistan. From horizon to horizon it stretch- es like a broad white ribbon, as seem- ingly straight as if traced by a gigan- tic ruler. And dotted along its entire length are hundreds of serais (way- side rest houses), each with its arched and turreted gateway, its spacious enclosure--in which humans share shelter with oxen, camels and goats --and its central well of sparkling water. For 3,000 years the Himalayas have looked down on th:; road and have seen it as they see it to-day. It was the world's .greatest highway before Rome was cradled, when the abori- ginal Indians drove their. cattle over the very spot where the motor.car dashes to-day. Alexander the Great led his Greeks along it to the conquest of Northern India; and Buddha himself took his daily walks along it centuries before Christ was cradled. It has seen a hundred generations of men come and go; a score of dynasties rise and fall. And yet to- day, it is to the eye, exactly the same as in the long-gone years when Nine- veh was a proud city and our own ancestors gnawed bones in their caves. :| my shoulders.

ISSUE 23--'16. SECRET OF SNAKES GLIDE. Method of Contraction That Enables it to Crawl and Climb. A snake moves along the ground by contracting the ribs on one side of his body and separating those on the other side, says the Philadelphia Re- cord. This forms one curve. An- other contraction takes place at the end of the expanded side, and bends the body in the opposite direction. Thus there is a series of alternate constrictions and spreadings of the numerous ribs throughout the length of the reptile as it lies on the ground. When the snake is in motion some part of the bdy must secure ibself against rough or projecting surfaces, from which the forward part can be impelled. Then the forward part takes hold and the hinder length is dragged to a new position. The row of shields along the snake's belly is very quick in seizing upon the slight- est projection, so that any rough sur- face affords a good track. In climbing a tree the snake uses the same process. It must find points of vantage for its curves. 20 "s BABY'S WELFARE. The welfare of the baby is the fond mother's greatest aim. No mother wants to see her little ones suffering from colds, constipation, colic or any other of the many ills that so often afflict little ones. Thousands of mo- thers have learned that by giving an occasional dose of Baby's Own Tab- lets to.their children they can keep them well. Concerning the Tablets Mrs. Richard Boston, Pembroke, Ont., says:--"Baby's Own Tablets saved my little girl when nothing else appeared to help her. I would not attempt to raise a baby without keeping the Tab- lets in the house." They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. ®e Reptiles as Pets. Singing insects and reptiles are great pets with the Japanese and many varieties are caged and trained for the delight of their almond-eyed masters, it being said that Crown Prince Hirohito himself keeps a pri- vate stock of kajika, or singing frogs. The favorite singing insect is the kan- tan, a species of loucust, which must always be kept in the shade and never sprinkled with water if he is to vocal- ize.

Two German professors invented it, Professor Max Beck of Innsbruck and Dr. Von Schrotter of Vienna. The soldier puts on a pair of pants into which are woven extremely supple wires design- ed with a view to insulation. * Each pair looks exactly like the ordinary trousers of the khaki uniform and can ke connected and disconnected at will to batberies. With each pair are a couple of connecting wires a hundred or more yards long which permit the wearer to walk about with some free- dom. Soldiers in the trenches find these garments very comfortable dur- ing the winter, and it is suggested that aeroplanists will find in them much relief from the chill air of the altitudes. Ask for Minard's and take no other Off the Track. "We were bounding along," said a recent traveler on a local South Afri- can single line railway, "at the rate of about seven miles an hour, and the whole train was shaking terribly. I expected every moment to see my bones protruding through' my "skin. Passengers were rolling from one end of the car to the other. I held on firmly to the arms of the seat. Pres- ently we settled down a bit quieter; at least I could keep my hat on and my teeth didn't chatter. "There was a quiet-looking man op- posite me. I looked up with a ghastly smile, wishing to appear cheerful, and said: " 'We are going a bit smoother, I see. " 'Yes, he said, 'we're off the track new.'
