LA GRIPPES VICTIMS left Weak, Miserable and Prey to Disease in Many Forms One of the most treacherous dis- ases afflicting the people of Can- ada during the winter months is la grippe, or influenza. It almost in- variably cuds with a complication of troubles. It tortures its victims with alternate fevers and chills, headaches and backaches. It leaves him an easy prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, and even consumption. Indeed the deadly .after-effects of la grippe may leave the victim a chronic invalid. You can avoid la grippe entirely by keeping the blood rich and red by an occasional use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. If you have not done this and the disease attacks you, you can banish its deadly after-effects through tho use of this same great blood-building, nerve-restoring medicine. Here is proof of the wonderful power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills over this trou- ble. Mr. Emmanuel Laurin, St. Je- rome, Que., saye : "I was seized with a severe attack of la grippe. I was obliged to stop work and re- main in my bed for several weeks, and while I appeared to get over the first stages of the trouble, I did not regain my usual health. I Buffered from headaches, loss of ap- petite, and extreme weakness. I did not sleep wll at nights, and would arise in the morning feeling tired and worn out. This continu- ed for about two months during which time I was taking treatment, but apparently without avail. Then I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I got a half dozen boxes. By the time I had taken three boxe* there was a decided im- provement, and actually before I had completed the sixth box I was enjoying my old-time health. I was itrong as ever, could sleep well and eat well, and no longer suffered from lassitude .-UK! headaches. I have proved the value of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills for the pernicious after-effect* of la grippe, and can therefore recommend them to other wufferers." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure by Agoing to the root of the trouble in the blood, which they enrich and tmake red and pure. These pills cure ,' all troubles due to bad blood, and if are ailing you should start to oure yourself to-day by taking this great medicine.

The Duke of Devonshire ha the heavy, drowsy appearance which was so characteristic of his uncle. But, as in the caw of his famous re- lative, this appearance is decep- tive, for It conceals shrewd oom- monsense and a ready wit. The Duke on one occasion took a Chicago heiress into dinner. The lady was astonished at his clever conversation and ventured to re- mark: "I can scarcely believe that in your maiden peeoo in the House of Commons you paused three times and yawned heavily." "Oh, but you'd have believed it," was the reply, ''if you'd heard the speech." Despite an abundance of worldly wealth the present Duke has always HE FOUND THEM NO FAITH CURE BUT DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS CLEANED OUT W. F. BLACK'S SCIATICA.

Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him and he wants all his neighbors to know of the cure. "Yes," Mr. Black says, in an in- terview, "I was so bad with Scia- tica and Lamo Back that I couldn't lace my shoes or turn in bed, when a friend gave me about a third of a. box of Dodd's Kidney Pills.

Some Persons Never Know What It Means. A good breakfast, a good appe- tite and good digestion mean ev- erything to the man, woman or child who has anything to do, and wants to get a good start toward doing it. A Southern man tells of his wife's "good breakfast" and also supper, made out of Grape-Nuts and cream. He says : "I should like to tell you how much good Grape-Nuts haft done for my wife. After being in poor health for the last 18 years, during part of the time scarcely anything would stay on her stomach long enough to nourish her, finally at the suggestion of a friend she tried Grape-Nuts. "Now, after about four weeks on this delicious and nutritious food, she has picked up most wonderful- ly and seems as well as anyone can be. "Every morning she makes a good breakfast on Grape-Nuts eat- en just as it conies from the pack- ago with cream or milk added ; and then again the same at supper, and the change in her is wonder- ful. "We can't speak too highly of Grape Nuts as a fo<xl after our remarkable experience." Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

The first newspaper in tho world was probably the Roman "Acta DiuniHO," which, it i said, was published in 601 B.C. Later, there came the "Acta Senatus," contain- ing an account of the various mat- ters brought before the. Senate, the opinions of the chief speakers, and the decisions of the. House, which was published regularly every day by command of Julius "Caesar. This formed the earliest approach to the modern journal. Tho first Ixindon newspaper was issued in tho time of the Stuarts. This was the "Weekly News," nnd the dote of its birth about 1622. The "Post Boy" was the f\rnt daily, and it began some seventy years later. London used to possess the cheap- est journal ever published.

Poor remedies have given Ca- tarrh the reputation of being incur- able. But it is curable, easily and quickly, if tho right method is em- ployed. Snuffing a powder or oint- ment up the nose won't cure Ca- tarrh, neither will tablets, douch- ing, or stomach, medicines cures. These treatments fail because they only affect local conditions, they do not remove the cause which is germ lifie established in the lungs, bronchial tubes, and nasal passages. Ordinary remedies do not reach these remote parts, but Catarrho- zone does, for it is breathed through the inhaler into every air cell in the lungs, into every air passage in the head and throat. No matter where the Catarrh is Catarrhozone will reach it. It kills the germs, heals sore spots, clears the nose and throat instantly. Universally used ; pleasant and clean ; guaranteed to cure or money refunded. Don't be an object of aversion to everyone you meet get Catarrho- zone to-day and use it regularly ; it will cure your Catarrh, Bronchitis, Throat Trouble, spitting and gag- ging. Large size 50c.

The origin of the Union Jack is well-known but it may be surpris- ing to many to learn that the "Union Jack" is in reality a mis- nomer, and that, if properly named, the flag is the "Union." It can only be called the /'Union Jack" when it is flying from a "jack staff" at the bowsprit or forepart of a ship, and never when it ie flown on land. The first Union flag, consisting of St. George and St. Andrew, was decided to be the national flag or Groat Britain by James I. (April 12th, 1606.) In 1801, when Ireland came into the Union, a change was made in the flag, Ireland being re- presented on it by the red saltire of St. Patrick. The other three flags arc purely maritime, and ought never to be flown ashore. They had their ori- gin as follows: "For two hundred years prior t<1 1804 the British Navy was divided into three divisions, the Red, the White and the Blue, each having a flag of corresponding color, tho white flag only having the addition of a red St. George's cross. In 1707 the small Union de- vice was Introduced into the upper corner. In 1864 these divisions of the navy were abolished, but the three ensigns were retained in uso, and it was decreed that the Red Ensign should be retained for tho merchant service, the White Ensign for tho Navy and Royal Yacht Squadron, and the Blue Ensign for ships commanded by officers of the Royal Naval Reserve and certain Royal Yacht Clubs."

"C<aptain, " said a wealthy pas- senger who was about to take his first trip across tho ocean, "I un- derstand this ship has got several water-tight compartments 1" "Yes, sir," was the reply.

Pood of all kinds, soap, powdered soent, ribbons, coal and firewood are looked upon by "daily ser- vants" in England servants who work out during the day and sleep at home as their just perquisite*. Moat persons with servants who go home to sleep are victims of pet- ty thefts, chiefly in the form of food,- which their employes take away, not considering that they are thus guilty of theft. "I find," writes a householder to a London newspaper, "that my dripping always disappears from the pantry, and although seven bundles of wood are sold for three pence only six are left in my cup- board. "In the matter of food the ejf- vant usually takes homo just what one counts upon for the next day's use. For instance, if there are- six mince pies, which are sufficient to put upon the table, three of them are taken. I am quite sure that the servants do not think they are doing anything wrong." "I gave a dinner party," writes "A. B.," "and there were seven people at the table. Although my daily girl had had plenty of food, tho next day I foiind that as much turkey had been taken as had been eaten at the dinner. "A servant I had recently," said a business woman, "often would come to me before she prepared breakfast to say there was no but- ter in the pantry. On these occa- sions I had been out all the previ- ous evening. I have at times found little parcels of eugar and tea tied up on the kitchen dresser ready for her to take away when her time came to go home. "Many maids do not look upon the taking of handkerchiefs and stockings as theft. There are plen- ty of servants who do this who would never dream of touching their employers' money."

An eminent scientist, the other day, gave his opinion that the most wonderful discovery of recent years was the discovery of Zam-Buk. Just think ! As soon as a single thin layer of Zam-Buk is applied to wound or sore, such injury is in- sured against blood poison ! Then again. As soon as Zam- Buk is applied to a sore, or a cut, or to skin disease, it stops the smarting. That is why children are such friends of Zam-Buk. Again. As soon as Zam-Buk is applied to a wound or to a diseased , part, the cells beneath the skin's surface are so stimulated that new healthy tissue is quickly formed. This forming of fresh healthy tissue from below is Zam-Buk's secret of ' healing. The tissue thus formed is worked up to the surface and liter- ally casts off the diseased tissue above it. This is why Zam-Buk cures are permanent. Only the other day Mr. Marsh, of 101 Delorimier Ave.. Montreal, called upon the Zam-Buk Company anil told them that for over twenty- five years he had been a martyr to eczema. His hands were at one time so covered with sores that he had to sleep in gloves. Four years ago Zam-Buk was introduced to him, and in a few months it cured him. To-day--over thfee years af- ter his cure of a disease he had for twenty-five years he is still cured, and has had no trace of any return of the eczema !
