SUFFERERS FROM : PAINFUL RHEUMATISM Liniment of No Avail Must . h j Cured through the Blood . Why are there o many failure* in the treatment of rheumatism I ,\Vhy are so many sufferers resigned t to a life of pain, despairing of a p rinane nt cure) Because rheumatism defies any '.treatment that does not build up *'a.nd purify the blood. The poisons ' of rheumatism are in the blood, and it is only through the blood .that the disease can be fought suc- .cessfully. Unless the blood' is weak and impure rheumatism, cannot get 'a footholdT When it does the thin 'and impure Wood i not strong .enough to overcome the podsom alone. It must be strengthened ' a-nd purified. Dr. Williams' Pink ' Pills for Ple" People are the best blood -building medicine you can take. They make new blood with every dose and promptly check fur- ' ther progress of the disease. They . make the' blood so pure and strong i that not the least trace of rheuma- tism remains. Mr. R. J. Sinclair, ! Goshen, N.S., says: "About two years ago I waa laid up with rheu- matism. For two months I could 1 not walk amd had to stay in an . invalid's chair. My feet were bad ly swollen amd my arm seemed to 1 be paralyzed. 1 had been using doctor's med-icine for a. long time. , but it did not seem to help me, a id the doctor finally told me that the iHily thing that would cure me would be a change of climate. At this time I decided to give Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills a trial a.nd got a supply. After I had taken them for a while I found they were help- ing me, and I got a further supply and they completely cured me, and I have not been sick one day since. I strongly recommend Dr. Wil- liam*' Pink Pills for this trouble." You can get these Pills from any dealer in medicines or by mail, p>o&t paid, at 50 cent* a box or six 1 boxes for $2.50 by writing The Dr. ' ."Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville. 'Jnt, j, ; WHEKK "OBEV" ORIGINATED. 4 I'p to Thirteenth Century No Word of I n i'i, n a I VoWH. . The researches instituted by the . bishop of Oxford into the word . "obey" in the marriage service are now nearly complete. Before the bishop of Lruooln brought up the question of the dele- tion of "cbsy" in Canterbury con- vocatijn, the" bishop of Oxford ask- ed Dr. Percy Dearmer, vicar of St. Mary's, Primrose Hill, to investi- gate t'he point. "The Church of England." said Doctor Dear-mer to a representa- tive of the Ltondon Daily Mail, "i the only historic church which has unequal vow* in it* marriage ser- vice. The word 'obey' is quite ex- ceptional in Christian liturgies. As far as 1 have discovered, up to the thirteenth century there was mo ex- 'ample of unequal- vow. The man 'said what the woman said. In the late middle ages they began to ap- 'pear in certain north German ?r- ,'vice books and in certain English 'one*, but they do not appear iu die ' Roman Catholic book nor in those of the eastern, the Greek and the Russian creeds. "Before the Reformation there wre a number of books in use in Kngland; the principal ones were those of York. Saru.m and Here- ford The only one which contain- ed the principle of unequal vows was that of Saium. yet the reform- ers, who wanted tx> do away with medieval abuses, adopted that very o-n. . , , "Now that the history oi obey is known, I do not think it has any chance of standing." INDIANS STUDYING ENGLISH. The Language is Tuuglit iu Many Elementary Schools. In conversation recently with the representative in India of a lead- ing London publishing house it waa mentioned that India, and especial- ly the province of Bengal in north- eastern India, in which Calcutta is located, affords an important mar- ket for educational text books. The more ambitious and intelli- gent young people in India evince a great thirst for education, as the principal means of rising superior to their environment and improve- ing their conditions in life, so that every possible sacrifice is made to get an education. There is a spe- cial desire in India for employment in government positions, as such positions give fixed income and have special advantages. English education is considered essential for those who wish to have the best success, and a large proportion of the text books are in the English language, although many of the more rudimentary books arts trans- lated into native languages. The most elementary schools for natives in India begin their in- struction in vernacular languages and then teach English later on, and finally considerable instruction in many courses may be given in the English language from English textbooks, and iu higher education most of the courses may be given from English textbooks. In some instances, instruction in English is given at the very start. Among the young people in the Province of Bengal, where there is bv far the largest opportunity of employment by European commercial houses, such as are concentrated at Calcut- ta, there is an especially keen de- mand for education from English textbooks. No other city in India contains anything like the number of fairly well-educated English speaking native clerks, typists, etc., as are in Calcutta. Every Town And Village In Canada HAS SOMEONE 1TRED BY DODU'S KIDNEY PILLS. Mr. K. Handke Tell* How They Son! Him Duck to Work and Saved Him Much Moucy. Vanbrugh, Ont., May 18 (Spe- cial). One more man ha proved to his entire satisfaction that the one sure cur* for sore back is Dodd's Kidmey Pills. That man is Mr. E.

Some remarkable figures were produced recently in London by C. V. Drysdale in the course of an address before the Royal Colonial institute on "The Empire and the birth rate." Mr. Drysdale said that the registrar-general's reports showed there hud been a rapid and steady decline in the birth rate since 1870, the chief factor of which was the voluntary reduction of the fertility rate. The decline has been largely a class One affecting first, the richer and more cultured class- es, and rapidly extending through the various grades of the middle classes until it had now reached the nkillfd artisans, but not the poorest and most unskilled laborer. Large numbers and national effi- ciency were not to be secured by a high birth rate, especially in the lower strata of society. High birth rates invariably meant high general and infantile death rates, and, when accompanied by humanitarian legislation, a serious prooess~of re- versed election. The explanation of that apparent paradox lay in the fact, which never seemed to be pro- perly understood, that the popula- tion of the world and of nearly all countries was constantly being kept in check by insufficiency of food. That the rate of increase of popula- tion of a country depended in al- most every case upon its power of feeding the people by its own or important food, and not upon its birth rate, was a matter which statesmen would have to recognize. j.

At the beginning of the experiment the major chose for the personnel of the scheme per- sons noted more for induetry than for wealth. A Saxon village hundred WAS cho- aen and this primitive legislature allotted land- to heads of families under contracts whereby the pay- ment for the land could be extend- ed over periods from 50 to 100 years. These plots surround a large com- mon, which belongs to the village and the grazing right of which is held in perpetuity by the villagers. The village is now a eelf-sustain- ing community, amd what was startr ed as more or leas of a charity has proven successful commerciall.y. All of the villagers are free men in the old Saxon sense of the term, amd the social and political life of the place i based on this assumption of equality.

SOME FACTS ABOUT MEXICO. Population 15.300.U00 - Less Thun Fifth Avenue Whites. According to the census of 1911 the population of Mexico numbered 15,300.000, of which less than one- fifth (19 per cent.) were classed as whites, 38 per cent, as Indians, a,nd 43 per cent, as mixed hloods. There were 57, GOT foreigfn residents, in- cluding a few Chinese and Filipi- nos. Since then the Japanese have acquired an industrial footing in Mexico. For nniuy years the In- dians remained in subjection and took no part in tihe political activi- ties of their naitive country, but, oi late tihey have ta.ken more interest in public affairs. The death rat* of chiklvem <aiKjng tlhe Indians is esti- mated at an average of not less than 50 per cent. The white race is of Spanish des- cent a.nd ha the characteristics common to other Spanish- American circles. The larger part of the pop- ulation is to be found in the south- ern ha-lf of the R/epubldc. owing to the arid condition* prevailing i the nortih. The climate on tlhe coastal plains is unhealthy, although Vera Cruz has . large population. No safe estimate can be made of the half-breed element i' n Mexico. Educational, industrial oocupwtion, commercial training amd political responsibility are apparently work- ing a transformation in a class that was once known chiefly for indo- lence and criminal instincts, and many of the leaders of modern Mex- ico 'have sprung from this race. Settled government and habits, re- munerative employment and oppor- tunity for tihe improvement of their condition are developing in them the virtues of the two parent races. The Republic of Mexico is politi- cally divided into 27 Staites, one Federal *nd three Territories. The States are generally subdivided in- to districts and these into munici- palities. the pla-n might not prove a success, but since thi has been assured they have invited the leaders of the gov- ernment laod reform scheme* to in- spect the community.
