OVERTAXED NERVES A DISTRESS SIGNAL The TronWe Can Only Ijb Cured l)y Enriching tlie B.ood Supply. When your nervous system is ex- hausted the trouble makes itself evi- ient in many ways. You fe«l always fatigued and unfit for work. Severe headaches distract you ; your back is weak ; you sleep badly ; your ap- petite is uncertaiu ; you are nerv- ous and irritable and after any ex- ercise you tremble and perspire excessively. If the trouble is not checked your case goes from bad to worse until you feci that your con â-  dition is hopeless and that insani- ty is threatened. Your nerves are calling for help. They are starved because they de- mand from the blood more nour- ishment than it can supply. New rich blood is the seciet of nerve strength and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People cure nervous disord*ers because they feed the weak, exhausted nerves with rich, I red blood. The case of Mrs. Emma JHall, of Hamilton, Ont., furnishes iproof that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills .will cure even the most stubborn cases of nervo exhaustion. Mrs. iHall was left a widow and was 'forced to work in a mill to main- tain herself and her two little children. She bravely faced the battle of life, though she had never bad to conform to such conditions before. Notwihstanding the splen- did spicit she displayed the work played havoc with a delicate con- stitution, and some years ago Mr» Hall noticed signs in herself of a nervous collapse. She consulted a doctor who gave her some medicine and told her she "would be all right in a few^d^iys." But relief did not come and it was nnally a daily oc- currence for her to faint at her work. These fainting spells quickly developed into pronounced hysteria and chronic irritability, and Mrs. Hall says that death would have been a relief. She consulted sev- eral doctors but got no help, and she felt that she was almost bor- dering on insanity. In this condi- tion she was advised to try Dr. iVilliams' Pink Pills. Grasping at even the possibility of help she dc- 'cided to do so. After taking three 'boxes she actually found some im- provement, and from that time on this improvement was steady and increasing daily until after a few months she felt the cure was com- plete. She says: â€" "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done what doctors failed to do and what I myself 'thought was impossible. They have ifreed me from the terrible trouble I suffered and my old joy in life has ibeen renewed." When Mrs. Hall began taking Dr. Williams' Pink iPills she weighed only one hundred .pounds whue under her renewed ihealth her weight has increased to one hundred and thirty pounds. I Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can be Ihad from any dealer in medicines ior will be sent by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. CONVICTS FEAR GHOST. 'Murdered Woman's Apparition Said to Visit Prison. The convicts in the Maryboro (Ireland) convict prison have been thrown into a pq,nic by the ghost of a murdered woman which is al- leged to have visited her murderer, I who is serving a life sentence in 'ti.e prison. The man is a Scotchman named Grant, who was sentenced to death a few mouths ago in Dublin for the murder of a woman at the docks. His sentence was commuted by the Lord Lieutenant to penal servi- tude for life, and since then he has been in Maryborough Prison. On Sunday the wardens were startled by terrible shrieks from Grant's cell, and when they rushed to see what had happened they found the man bathed in perspira- tion, and in a state of abject terror. He declared that the ghost of the murdered woman had appeared in his cell, and had danced and gesti- culated before him. He clung to tne wardens, and implored them not to leave him. He has had similar attacks of ter ror twice since then, and the panic is spreading to the other con- victs. * BABY'S OWN TABLETS CURE ALL MINOR TROUBLES The stomach, the bowels, or cut- ting teeth is responsible for most of the ills and suffering that af- flicts babyhood. Baby's Own 'i'abiets will keep your child well because it is the best nicdu-inc in tho world for these troubles, and at the same time it is the safest. The mother has the guarantee of a Government analyst that this medicine contains no opiate or poisonous "soothing ' stuff. Mrs. Jos. Bernard, St. limile, yue., says: "Baby's Own Tablets are really a marvellous me- dicine. My baby was thin, peevish and sickly until 1 began giving him this medicine. Since then ho has thrived and grown splendidly.

Nothing Degrading About the Treatment of Prisoners in Sugamo JaiL In Japan a convict may earn enough money while in jail to main- tain his family. He has ihe best of food and lodging, is taught a trade, and if he wishes pursues the study of foreign languages. At Sugamo a qualified teacher in- structs the younjar piiisouers in reading, writing and arithmetic, frisoners of 20 and upward who are in seclusion for the iirst time are taught geograpiiy and history. If one entering the prison,, says a writer in the Wide World, a man declares that he has a knowledge of English he is carefully examined by a linguist and the extent of his knowleage fathomed. He is then allowed to pursue his studies, the necessary books being supplied by the authorities. When there are several in together a teacher is obtained from out.side and lessons are given regularly. RECORDS AHE KEPT. In the offices a record of each prisoner ia Kept during hia stay. I'his serves to snow whetner the con- vict is prompt to obey tne othcials, whether he shows aliectiun for his parents and relatives, whether he writes letters home and whether he makes progress or nut in his studies. The main building at Sugamo is designed in the form of a dumbell, the two ends being divided into five ray stars. From the central watch stand the warder can see along the whole of the rays, which comprise 300 cells. And what cells I Think of itâ€" twenty feet high and double windowed. The convicts are housed in groups. In a cell of eight matsâ€" all rooms in Japan are measured by mats â€" twelve convicts are accommodated. The floor is covered with muahiro or soft matting, and on this the men's bedding is spread when they are ready, to turn in. Everything is spotlessly clean. "The chief warder stopped before a door at the extreme end of the corridor, and after trying a dozen keys succeeded in throwing it open, ' wntes a visitor. "With some mis- givings I entered. The room would have gladdened the heart of an amateur photographer. Not a single ray of light penetrated its walls. It was ventilated by means of small tubes that ran through the xiement in such a way that they did not admit light. FORMS OF PUNISHMENT. " 'There are three foi-ms of cho- batsu (punisliment) for insubordina- tion,' said i/.iC warder. 'The first is confinement in an empty room, the oliender being compelled to sit on a mat without moving or speak- ing from morning till night. The second form is confinement in a similar room slightly darkened. The tiurd and most severe is confine- ment in this totally dark room, the ma.umum punishment being five days. I have never known a man wish to come here a second time,' he added significantly. "In the bamboo carving shed were men with large intellectual foreheads, bright, intelligent eyes, clear cut mouths. Only one man reminded me of convicts I had seen in England. He was short in sta- ture, the eyes were "small and obli- que, the forehead narrow and re- ceding, the ear? large and the jowl dabby. His crime was man- slaughter. "He was the chief actor in a drama of jealousy that was played to a fatal finish in one of the hovels of Tokio's East End. A faithless wife, a hypocritical friend, a surprise, and in the narrow hovel a fight to the death had been waged, the guilty wife the only witness. He did not look up as I passed him, this humble Othello. With mafcllous dexetrity he was fash- ioning in bamboo an angel with out- stretched wings. SUPPORT FAMILIES. "In tne weaving department the convicts were making uniforms for the army. Piles of the finished' gar- ments lay on the shelves around the shop, and here again the worK- manship was perfect. And how they worked I The shuttles were thrown through the warps by hand, and it was obvious that the weavers wore old 'lags.' " " 'It pays them to bo industri- ous,' said the warder, 'The aver- age convict makes ten sen (five cents) a day; four sen goes into his own personal account. A skilled worker will make twenty sen a day, eight being hia own again. Some of these meu actually support their families on what the earn in pri- son ! As you know, the average coolie can live on fifty sen a month.' "It was natural that after paiad- ing this paradise I should doubt if Japan's treatment of her crimin- al.s led to a decrease in crime," t'onulutjed the visitor. "The offi- cials confessed that of robbers, burglars, thieves and swindlers 00 per cent, came back to the prison. Of tho.sc who had been twice im- prisoned 00 per cent, returned ; of the first offendel-s, 40 per cent, found their wa^y ba«k." THE DOSE IN TIME THAT SAVED NINE DODD'S KIDNEY PH.LS CURED DAN. McGEE'S BACKACHE. He Used tho Old Reliable Kidney Remedy and Found a Speedy and Complete Cure for His Troub!i\ James River, Antigonisn Co., N. S., June 7. (Special).â€" It has again been proven in the case of Mr. Dan. McGee, a well-known farmer living near here, that back- ache is only a symptom of Kidney trouble, and that Dodd's Kidney Pills cure it quickly and complete- ly- "I suffered from Backache for two months," Mr. McGee states. "It started from a strain and grew steadily worse. I also had occas- ional attacks of Lumbago. I was always tired and at times my eyes were puffed and swollen. In the mornings I had a bitter taste in my mouth. "Then I decided to try Dodd's Kidney Pills and the result is that to-day I am a well man. I advise all persons suffering from Back- ache or Lumbago to use Dodd's Kidney Pills." Mr. McGee caught his Kidney Disease in its early stages, and Dodd^ Kidney Pills cured it al- most at once. Neglected Kidney Disease develops into Rheumatism, Dropsy, Bright's Disease or Heart Disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure any and all of these.

PLANTS AS ILL PREVENTIVES. In tropical countries, where the deadly malarial mist rises from the hot swamps, the first thing that the settler does is to plant the eucalyp- tus. Eucalyptus arains the damp, fever-laden soil by evaporation of water through its leaf surfaces. A house can be kept free of mos- quitoes if two or three of the anti- mosquito plants are placed in each room. The castor-beau is a hand- some plant, and quite harmless. Yet it is detested by all the animal world, and not even locusts will eat its leaves, or the mule bore its way through its roots. No garden should be without honeysuckle, because of the number of honey-bees it at- tracts. Every gardener known how necessary bees are for the proper fertilization of his flowers. NOT GUILTY.

It is no new thing for lament to be expressed that the United States has no good and distinctive nation- al anthem. Prof. William M. Sloane does not like "The Star- Spangled Banner," because it is not simple, although it is strong. Ho realizes the difficulty of marking a song to order, even though the Au- strian and Russian hymns were written that way. Russia is a pretty old nation, but it used the music of "God Save the King" as its national hymn till 1830, when Lwoff wrote the present national song, "God Protect the Tsar," as a setting for the words of a patriotic poem. The Austrian hymn is about thirty years older, and is a product of the patriotic enthusiasm that covered Europe at the time of tho French Revolution Haydn had visited England, and returned to Vienna much impress- ed with the British national anthem and he suggested that Austria should have such a hymn. Ho was accordingly commissioned to write it, and the new song was first sung in 1797. The English hymn, "G'xl Save the King," appeared in its present form in 1740, and made its way by its merits until it became officially recognized. .'Uthough Germany has a patriot- ic song to the same air, "The Watch on the Rhine," now known abroad â- I- the great national song, did not appear till 1870. It sprang into popularity during the war with France. The B'rench hymn of "The Marseillaise" was produced during the excitement of the Revolution, as "The, Star-Spangled Banrier" was inspired by an incident of the War of 1812. ♦ "A lambkin, my l)oy," answered Toddles, sen., " is n littlo lamb."

Clean Stomach, Clear Mind. â€" ^The stomach is the workshop af the vi- tal functions and when it goes out of order the whole system clogs in sympathy. The spirits flag, the mind droops and work becomes impos- sible. The first care should be to restore healthful action of the sto- mach and the best preparation for that purpose is Parmelee's Vege- table Pills. General use for years has won them a leading place in medicine. A trial will attest their value. They who think there is only ona read to ..eaven usually want to pub a toll gate at their station. A stitch in time saves nine, and every house fly killed early saves a thousand at least later on. Wil- son's Fly Pads will kill many times more flies than any other article.
