Here is hi.s .statement: For eight years I was troubled with Inflammatory Rheumatism. I could scarcely get around to do my duties in my store. I had some of the best doctors I could got, but no- thing I tried would ever give me re- lief. I was also troubled with Gout. I started using Dodd's Kidney Pills and had only taken six bo.xes when I was completely cured. W. O. Cragg, Ex-Rocvo of Dresden. Ont. ALL KIDNEY DISEASES CURED.

Moreover, They .are Bad for Cue's Nerves, This Hjin Says. "You may not know it, old fellow, but there is a very intimate connec- tion hetiveeii the high collar and the headache," .'â- aid an observant man; "and I have proved my faith in the statement by refusing to wear col- lars of tlie high sort. It is a bad business, my boy. High collars choke up the veins and arteries and interfere to .some extent with the circulation of the blood in tho neck and head. Do not undcr.stand me to be knocking any particular brand of high collais. So far eis the ap- pearance of the high collar is con- cerned, [ confess that I like it. "In my own case it has been a great blessing in at least one way, for felows with long necks, you know, do not look so Well when you harness them up in low collars. My neck is long, long as a crane's, ami the high collar has kept me from leaving too much of it exposed. Why. I've got so much neck that when I lirst be^an to wear low col- lars I was almo.st ashamed to ven- ture out into the street. I felt like I was but half dres.scd, and the feel- ing was not so fiir wrong at that, for the low collar does leave a good part of my anatomy open and above board, as it wore. But this tact does not bother me now. I simply don't care at all. Exposed neck is a whole lot better than headaches, and you Itnovv. old chappy, I was speakii:g of headaches Just now. That's what I wanted to tell you about. The high collar does some- thing more than interfere with one's circulation. It scratches and irri- tates the skin, keeps one's chin at an unrcivsonable, uncomfortable and unnatural angle, and causes one to acquire a nervous (rigidity sort of habit. "When you meet your friend who is in the habit of wearing a high collar pay particular attention to the way he moves and holds his head. It isn't nt all natural. It i.s all duo to tho high collar. Mark you, there are high collars, and high collars. Some of them approach rationalism in neck dress. Others are about as far from it as it is pos- sible to get without engulfing the whole head. But. of course, every fellow to his own liking in those matters. I wear low collai-s bocau.so they are comfortable, and becau.se 1 believe the high collar is a producer of headaches, and a bad thing for one's nerves generally. REFORMING THE R.A.M.C.

HOME. I 'I'm: HOME FLUXACE. It is a common experience with housewives, at this season, to fltui themselves with smarting eyes and choking bi'eath. All this because of the smoke, dust, and sometimes gas that. pours through tho registers wlien the furmLce fires aro first light- ed If tho furnace is in good condition tliLs annoyance will not arise, it be- ing caused by .some crack or faulty seam in tho inner liniiig of the fur- nace. Du&t and tine a.shes escape through such cracks and fill thi» pipes that convoy tho heated air to the registers. The easy lemedy for this iumoyunce is a clean cellar and a rirnacn in perfect condition. A room in which there is no escape for tlu; air will always be hard to heat Tim more closely the door and window casement.s fit, the greater thi' dimculty, unless there is in the room some other outletâ€" a fire-pla o or transom over the door. Tho warm air from tho register will not freely enter a room wliere there is no such opening to create a draught, and cold rooms may often be cured by applying the principle of not too rigidly barring all entrances for th» cold. It used to be that tho careful housewife regarded filling the water pan as a duty imperatively necc.>»- .sary to tho health of tho iiousehold. The water pan is placed in tho aJr chambers of the furnace, the evapor- ation of the water in it supplying to tho air issuing from the register that moisture supposed to be A HY-GIENIC NECESSITY. 'Hiis theory 1ms been largely dis- countoil by modern authorities on matters of this kind. The warm, moi.st atmosphere prevailing in bouse.s where the water pan is al- way.s filled tends to keep opened the pores of the .skin, thus causing a tendency to cold, and being liable to produce the enervating effects inevitably found ia liot, moist cli- mates. Dry warmod air is more healthy, providing always that it is freti from dust and is -supplied to the furnace from the outside of tho house â€" not owing to leaks or ba,dly adjusted fittings auppiied from the collar Tho economical management of furnace is an art in itself. An im- perfectly heated house may to often prove an expensive lu.xury when the amount spent upon doctor's fees s placed .igainst the money saved up- on tho coal bill. An extremely hot house is equally unhealthy, however; parsimony and extravagance in this respect may be bracketed together as things to be religously avoided dur- ing tho winter. Tho thrifty housewife has long ap- preciated that to secure the clH- ciont results the firepot should be filled with coal which is liopt burn- ing under a moderate draught. A largo . surf ace moderately heated will warm a greater quantity of nir pa.ss- ing over it than a small space, which, though it bo red hot, can in' flucnce onlj' an amount of air in proportion to its size. In addition to this, A SM.VLL HOT FIRE ma.v prove a .source of additional ex- pense by c:-acking the firepot or other breakages of lhi.s description. A cold hall on the first floor is very often the result of a mispla.ced register. The cold air. entering by means of doors or stair-cases blow.^i over tho iron place, counteracting tho source of the warm current from the furnace below. A hall register should always be built under the staircase, where it will be protected from draughts coming from any dir- ection. When it is impossible to change the openings to ituch a shelb- ered position tho warming of tha holla may b« greatly helped out b^ placing a chair or a table before it to protect It as far as po.ssiblo from. the draughts from door and stairs. European tourists have seen and probably wondered at the curious "gill stoves" used to .supply beat for the Islimlish cathedrals. No sim- pler or more satisfactory device con be found to solve the problem of Warming a largo hou.=e for which tho healing capacity of the average fur- nore ia inade<iuote. The heated air which blows through the registers of our house is mado by tlie contact of cold air passing over a hut furnace. Tho laiTger tho surface, thn more air it will heat and as tlie firopot and drums of tho average furnace have n. small furnace for tho air to vasn over its heating cap.ocity is propor- tionately small. These English gill stoves, to meet this ditfictilty aro made with deep curving folds one above tha other thus multiplying the i heated surface many times and od- j mitting of a proportionate incrna-'-e 1 in the heat supplied. The principle i of these stoves Is somewhat modified ' for house furnaces the curves of the gill stove being replaced by deey 1 crovicea. HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS. When potatoes are scarce and high, rice can be used in broad-making more economically and with aa good results. Boil two toble.-jpoonfuls of rice in a quart of water until the grains are ."wft.
