WEAK, TIRED PEOPLE Are Usually the Victims of Pale. Watery Blood. Anaemia is the medical term for poor or watery blood. It may arise from a yariety of causes, such as lack of exercise, hard study, impro- perly ventilated rooms or work- shops, imperfect assimilation of food, etc. The chief symptoms are extreme pallor of the face, iips and gums; rapid breathing and palpita- tion of the heart after alight exer- tion ; headaches, dizziness, some- times fainting spells and a tendency to hysterics, swelling of the feet and limbs, at feeling of constant tiredness and a distaste for food. Dr. Williams' Pink Pilla are a cer- tain cure for anaemia, because they make new, rich blood, which stimu- lates and strengthens every organ and every part of the body. The following is one among thousands of cases of this serious trouble cured by the use of Dr. WiUiams' Pink Pilla. Miss Georgina Raymond, St. Jerome, Que., says: "About a year ago my health began to give out. I suffered from headaches, heart palpitation, dizziness, and appeared to be threatened with a general breakdown. I was at this time employed in the family of a doctor, who, seeing my condition, gave me medicine. I took this faithfully for some time, but with no benefit, and I grew much dis- couraged. Then a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, saying that she had found a eure through them in similar conditions. I took her advice, got a supply of the pills and took them regularly for some time. Gradually I be- came strong, and in the course of a month or so I was again enjoying the best of health, and have not since had the least return of the old symptoms. I can heartily re- commend Dr. Williaxna 1 Pink Pills to all weak girls." Sold by all medicine dealers at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 or sent by mail, post paid, by The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. SEA ISLAND MYSTERY. A Little Spot in the Wastes of the Great Pacific. The Mana, a motor auxiliary yacht just launched at Whitstable, England, is to carry an expedition to the South Seas to investigate the origin of the gigantic prehistoric re- mains on Easter Island. This is- land, the mot easterly of the Poly- nesian group, is a lonely dot of land. 45 miles in area, 8,000 miles from the South American coast. Facing the sea on the island are enormous platforms made of tin- cemented stones, some of which weigh five tone. Some of the sea walls art- 30 feet high and 200 feet long. On the land side are broad terraces, also of stone, bearing pedestals on which formerly stood huge figures carved in lava. Most of these images have been thrown down, but there are 555 of them on the island. One of them is 66 feet high, with a nose eleven feet long. The figures all extend from head to hips, with receding fore- heads, broad noses, thin lips and powerful chins. There is no mefal on the island, and the only tool found was a pre- historic chisel, with which it would ftrm impossible to execute such colossal works. Moreover, the is- land with its scanty water supply could not have supported enough people to drag the figures from the quarry where they were made to the platforms. Some of the statues weigh 550 tons. There is every evidence that some great calamity overtook the island and its inhabitants, for most of the figures are unfinished, some of them never even having been removed from the quarry. A popular theory is that Easter Island is the sole re- mains of a continent which was overwhelmed by the sea after a great seismic disturbance. The de- signs of the stonework bear out this theory, for they are strikingly like some of the ancient Peruvian ruins. The Mana expedition, led by W. Scoresby Rout ledge and accompan- ied by geologists and other scien- tists from the British Museum, will make excavations in an effort to solve the mystery. ^. MACNAMARA'S STORY. Mr. T. J. Macnamara, the Cana- dian who is Parliamentary secre- tary to the British Admiralty, spent his early manhood as a teacher in the board schools, and as a result he is possessed of a budget of hum- orous stories anent the difficulties that are met with when endeavoring to develop youthful minds. One relates to a young and en- thusiastic teacher who was trying A Summer Protect*- gainst ueh UU as C holer* M orb u, Diarrhoea.

A Swiss residing at Siantar, in the Island of Sumatra, has written home an account of the capture and transportation of a young wild ele- 1 phant in a motor car by a resident ; of the town. The elephant, which 1 was well roped, was driven to the nearest path in the forest, and with great difficulty the motor car ar- rived at the spot, a kind of platform replacing the body. The elephant was induced to mount the platform and was strongly secured to it. The trip to Siantar started, but difficulties at once arose, because j the elephant, whose trunk was free, I used his proboscis to examine in I turn the chauffeur, the seats in j front, the machinery, and finally the guiding wheel, his last manoeu vre nearly upsetting the car, which was brought to a stop, as the jour- ney was becoming dangerous. The elephant's trunk was then strapped to his body, and the car arrived at | Siantar without further incident. This is probably the first time that a wild elephant has had a ride on a motor car. his utmost to convey his idea of pity to his class. Said the teacher : "Now, supposing a man was work- ing on a river, and suddenly fell into the water. His wife, hearing his screams, and knowing full well his peril, rushed immediately to the bank. Why did she rush to the bank I" There was a dramatic pause. Then a small voice piped out : "Please, sir to draw his insurance money." GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP. No Medicine so Bencfleial to Brain and Terrible Itching Got Little Sleep Until Cutlcura Remedies Cured Him Those who have suffered long and hope- lessly from torturing skin eruptions will read with Interest this letter from Mr. T. William.-, 116 Pacific Ave.. Winnipeg (dated Jan. 14, 111): "The Cutlcura Remedies certainly did work finely, and I am thankful that there h such a remedy, and that I tried It. About three months ago a terrible Itching com- menced on my body. I could not understand ft. It gradually grew worse and covered a large portion of my body. There was also a slight eruption of the skin, sort of a run. I luffered greatly with the Itching and at night time I had little aleep. I tried one or two remedies which dkl no good, and then I tried Cutlcura Soap, Ointment and Re- solvf n t. In about ten days I was completely cured." For more than a generation the Cutlcura Remedies hate afforded the speediest and most economical treatment for Itching, buro- |n(, scaly and bleeding skin and scalp hu- mors, of young and old.

To take "tonics and stimu- lants" under such circumstances is like setting the house on fire to see if you can put it out. The right kind of food promotes refreshing sleep at night and a wide awake individual during the day. A lady changed from her old way of eating, to Grape-Nuts, and says : "For about three years I had been a great sufferer from indiges- tion. After trying several binds of medicine, the doctor would ask me to drop off potatoes, then meat, and so on, but in a few days that crav- ing, gnawing would start up, and I would vomit everything I ate and drank. "When I started on Grape-Nuts, vomiting stopped, and the bloated feeling which was so distressing dis- appeared entirely. "My mother was very much both- ered with diarrhoea before com- mencing th Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was so weak she could not digest her food. Since using Grape-Nuts food she is well, and says she don't think she could do without it. "It is a great brain restorer and nerve builder, for I can sleep as sound and undisturbed after a sup- per of Grape-Nuts as in the old days when I could not realize what they meant by a "bad stomach." There is no medicine eo beneficial to nerves and brain as a good night's sleep, such as you can en- joy after eating Grape-Nuts." Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont.

It will be used for Provincial, Do- minion and Educational Exhibits. MAT>E HIS OWN COFFIN. Ernest Fddkirch, a Gottingen carpenter eighty-six years of age, has cheerfully looked death in the face for twenty-six years. His first illness, which came when he was sixty, suggested to him that, hav- ing no relatives, he should provide for his burial himself, and as soon as he recovered he set to work and made himself a coffin, which he placed conveniently beside his be<f. After a number of years it began to decay, and he was obliged to make another. The second is now in the same condition as the first, and his friends are urging Feld- kireh to discard it for a third. The old man, who is hale and happy as evor, declares ho will make one more, and if he finds it decaying he will give the business up as a bad job. UNMARRIED GIRLS IN CAGES. Custom Followed by Some Natives Of New Britain. The Rev. George Brown, D.D., who has passed many years of bis life in the South Sea Islands endea- voring to stamp out polygamy and cannibalism among the natives, ays in some parts of New Britain the natives have a custom of placing young women in strict seclusion be- fore marriage by imprisoning them in cages for several years until they reach a marriageable age. Dr. Brown, says the London Globe, de- scribes how on one occasion he in- spected a number of these human cages. "The cage was quite clean," he said, "and contained nothing but a few abort lengths of bamboo for holding water. There waa only room for a girl to sit or lie down in a crouched position on the bamboo platform, and when the doors are hut it must be nearly or quit* dark inside. Thev are never ajlowed to come out, except once a day to bathe in a dish or wooden bowl placed close to each cage. They are placed in the cages when quite young, and must remain there un- til their marriage. JACK'S WAY. It is a fortunate boy who has an older brother to give him the bene- fit of his longer experience. "Don't sleep with your mouth open in that wav," said Jack to his younger bro- ther, as the daylight began to peer into their bedchamber. "Yon should breathe through your nose." "Yes, but I don't know when my mouth is open. What do yon do when you wake up and find your mouth open?" "What do I do 7" answer- ed Jack, derisively. "Why, I get up and shut it, of course." Hats were first made in the year 1404. Education under the London County Council represents a gross expenditure of six million pounds. A GREAT WATERWAY. $29.000,000 in [.>!!.- Paid to the Sin-/ Canal Last Year. The Su<:z Canal took in nearly $29,000,000 in tolls in the last year. This waa an increase of $843,656 over 1910. The number of vessels that passed Suez in 1911 waa 4,969, representing a net tonnage of 18,- 324,794, an increase of 436 vessels. There were less than 1,200 tourists. The royal yacht conveying King George and Queen Mary to their Indian Coronation went through Suez in twelve and a half hours, and came back through in twelve hours. The traffic of Suez has so grown that the tolls have been low- ered by ten per cent., and still the profits grow. There will be a fur- ther ten per cent, toll reduction on January 1st, 1913. Suez traffic suffered from the plague in Manchuria, but it gained in other directions, notably in the Japan, India. Dutch, East India, and Oceanic trade. SUMMER SKIN TROUBLES. Sunburn, blistering, and irrita- tion are the commonest form of summer skin troubles, and Zam- Buk ends these very quickly. It works in two ways. As soon as ap- plied, its antiseptic powers get to work and kill all the poison in a wound, a sting, or a sore. This gen- erally ends the smarting and the pain. Then Zaan-Buk begins the healing process, and fresh healthy tissue is built up. For sore, blis- tered feet, sore hands, heat rashes, baby's heat spots, &ore places due to perspiration, etc., you can't equal Zam-Buk. Drug'gists and stores everywhere sell Zam-Buk, 50c. box. Use Zam-Buk Soap also, 25c. per tablet. All stores, or Zam- Buk Co., Toronto. HE FOUND IT. "Eureka!" exclaimed Mr. Green, who, with a lighted match in his hand, was down in the cellar hunt- ing for a leak in the gas pipe. A moment later Mrs. Green sad- ly remarked : "That's just our luck.

The stomach is the centre of the nervous system, and when the stomach sus- pends healthy action the result is manifest in disturbances of the nerves. If allowed to persist, ner- vous debility, a dangerous ailment, may ensue. The first consideration is to restore the stomach to proper action, and there is no readier remedy for this than Parmelee's Vegetable Pills. Thousands can attest the virtue of these pills in curing nervous disorders. SHE COUNTED SHEEP. "Well, and how did your mother sleep last night?
