n K ' 1 ST. VITUS DANCE IN YOUNG CHILDREN Can Only Be Cured by Enrich- ing the Blood and Toning Up the Blood. One of the commonest forms of ner- vous trouble that afflicts young chil- dren 'Sj^gJiit^s dance. This is be- causejfl^^^^u'eat demand made on the I^^^^BBwth and development, l^^^"BH|^R"ie added strain caused by stiid^^^^is when these demands become so great that they impoverish the blood, and the nerves fail to re- ceive their full supply of nourishment that St. Vitus dance develops. The remarkable success of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in curing St Vitus dance should lead parents to give this great blood-building medicine to their chil- dren at the first signs of the approach of the trouble. Pallor, listlessness, inattention, restlessness and irritabil- ity are all symptoms which early show that the blood and nerves are failing to meet the demand upon them. Here is proof of the great value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in cases of this kind. Mrs. Alfred Sochner, R.R. No. B, Dunnville, Ont., says; "Our ten- year-old daughter, Violet, suffered very severely from St. Vitus dance. The trouble came on so gradually that we were not alarmed until it affected her legs and arms, which would twitch and jerk to such an extent that she could scarcely walk and could not hold anything in her hands steadily. She suffered for about Ave months before we begar giving her Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, but she had not taken these long before we found that they were the right medicine, and after she had taken nine boxes she rad fully recov- ered her former health and strength. I can strongly recommend Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills to every parent hav- ing a child suffering from St. Vitus dance or any form of nervousness." In troubles of this kind no other medicine has met with such success as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. You can get these Pills through any medicine deal- er or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2 50 from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Periscopes as Life Savers. Probably no instrument invented during the present European war has been the means of saving as many lives as has a small periscope now in use by the British soldiers. With the growth of the trench mode of fighting the skill of the sharp- shooters, especially at short range, has increased to an alarming extent. Where the trenches are close together, in some instances so close that the fighters can talk to one another across their defenses, it is impossible to thrust a head above the ground with- out drawing the fire of half a dozen rifles. Consequently the pocket periscope has been brought into use. The peris- cope is simple in construction, consist- ing only of two mirrors connected by a collapsible framework. Both mir- rors are fixed to the framework at an angle of 45 degrees. When the frame- work is extended and the upper mir- ror is raised above the trench, the view is reflected by the upper mirror down to the lower one, which reflects the light rays horizontally to the eyes of the observer. Before this instrument came into general use it was necessary to raise above the trenches every few minutes; in order to prevent a surprise. These | occasional moves endangered the life of the -investigator. With the aid of the periscope the watcher may remain in the security of the trench and guard against any move from a trench with- in range of his vision. DODD'S v KIDNEY; .PILLS, IMPERFECT WORLD NECESSARY It is Necessary for the Production ' and Training of Moral Beings. Professor Sorley, of Cambridge University, has been engaged in de- livering a course of Gifford Lectures on "Ethics and Theism" at Marischal College, Aberdeen. In one of his lec- tures he laid down his own position \n the following words: â€" He would hazard the statement that an imperfect world was neces- sary for the production and training of moral beings. A world of com- pletely unerring, finite beings creat- ed and maintained so by the condi- tions of ^eir life would be a world of marionettes. Not such were the beings whom God was conceived to have created for communion with Himself. Those spirits must fight their way upwards from the lowest beginnings. In this progress they had to attain reason and freedom so that the good might be known and chosen, and, tried by every kind of :ircumstance, to find and assimilate the values which could transform the world and make themselves fit for the Higher spiritual life. This meant that it was possible to regard God IS the author and Ruler of the world IS it appeared in space and time, and at the same time to hold that the moral values of which they were con- scious and the moral ideal which they had come to comprehend with increas- ing clearness expressed His nature. On the view which had just been sug- gested they would explain all reality, nature and persons, laws and values, as depending on a Supreme Mind whose purpose was being unfolded in the history of the world. Paying Our Debts. Any man making a pretence at be- ing 'honest will try to pay for what he gets. But having admitted the justness of the claim that he do so he may be surprised at the wideness of the application of the principle that lies at the back of it. The earth pays for what it gets â€" the rain and the sunshine, and the breezes of heaven â€" with fruitfulness, waving grain, buds and blossoms and fruits, and the smiling green of fields. It is not a mere sponge, receiving always and never responding to the giver. It gives back everything, with an add- ed something of its own. The earth is honest, generously honest. And a man ought not to be any less so. He is getting every day and hour and moment of his life, getting from all sides and in all possible ways. Received the Victoria Cross. The latest official list raises the total number of British soldiers who have received the Victoria Cross dur- ing the war to fifty-one. The line regiments, of course, having secured the largest proportion, twenty-four ha\'ing been divided among members of seventeen corps, in addition to five given to the Brigade of Foot Guards.! The artillery has received as many as eight, and the engineers five. The ] cavalry and the navy have each ob-., tained two, the Indian Army one, and ; the Native Army three, while the Royal Army Medical Coups has se- '. cured one, as well as the clasp award- ; ed to an officer who had won the Cross in South Africa. Of the nine- teen officers upon whom the decora- â-  tion has been conferred eight havej been killed, as have four of the! thirty-two non-commissioned officers j and men among the recipients. * Been Deceived. "Uncle, why did you never marry?" ! "I never found a girl who would have me." "Somebody's been fooling you. Our sex isn't that particular." When a Woman Suffers With Chronic Backache There is Trouble Ahead. Constantly on their feet, attending to the wants of a large and exacting family, women often break down with nervous exhaustion. In the stores, factories, and on a farm are weak, ailing women, drag- 1 ged down with torturing backache and bearing down pains. Such suffering isn't natural^ but it's dangerous, because due to diseas- ed kidneys. The dizziness, insomnia, deranged menses and other symptoms of kid- ney complaint can't cure themselves, they require the assistance of Dr. Hamilton's Pills which go direct to the seat of the trouble. To g:ive vitality and power to the kidneys, to lend aid to the bladder and liver, to free the blood of poisons, probably there is no remedy so suc- cessful as Dr. Hamilton's Pills. For all womanly irregularities their merit is well known. Because of their mild, soothing, and healing effect. Dr. Hamilton's Pills are safe, and are recommended for girls and women of all ages. 25 cents per box at all dealers. Refuse any substitute for Dr. Hamilton's Pills of Mandrake and Butternut.

WHEN BABY IS ILL When he is troubled with constipa- tion, indigestion, vomiting or worms, give him Baby's Own Tablets. They sweeten the stomach, reg^ilate the bowels and cure all these troubles simply because Ihey banish the cause. Concerning them Mrs. Philias Duval, St. Leonard, Que., writes: "We are well satisfied with Baby's Own Tab- lets, which we have used for our babv when suffering from constipation and vomiting." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' ; Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. * I Save Us from Our Friends.

At a meeting at which a minister, who is short in stature, was to speak, the chairman, endeavoring to be witty, observed that he was some- what disappointed about the mini- ster's physical proportions. "I had heard so much about Mr. ," he said, "that I naturally expected to meet a big man in every sense, but â€" " Many a one would have been upset by such an unfortunate begin- ning to the proceedings, but not so the minister. "I am grieved to find," he said, with a mock seriousness, "that your chairman is disappointed in my size, but this is owing to the way you have here of measuring a man. In Ayrshire, where I come from, we measure a man from his chin up, but you evidently measure him from is chin down!" * A Smart Boy. â-  A teacher was examining a class of small boys in arithmetic. Addressing a particular smart boy she asked: "Can five go into one?" "Yes," came the answer at once. "You stupid boy!" she said. "How do you make that out?"

A GOOD THING When It Comes Along Don't Let It Get Away From You. "I really feel that it is hardly possi- ble to say too much in favor of Grape- Nuts as a health food," writes a lady. "For 9 or 10 years I had suffered from indigestion and chronic constipa- tion, caused by the continued use of coffee and rich, heavy foods. My ail- ments made my life so wretched that I was eager to try anything that held out a promise of help. And that is how I happened to buy a package of Grape-Nuts food last spring. 'That ended my experiments. For in Grape-Nuts I found exactly what I wanted and needed. From the day I began to use it I noticed an improve- ment, and in a very few weeks I found .Tiy health was being restored. "My digestive apparatus now works perfectly, and chronic constipation has been entirely relieved. I have gained in weight materially, and life is a very pleasant thing to me so long as I use Grape-Nuts once or twice a day. I have found by experimeiit that if I leave it off for a few days my health 'suffers. "A physician in our town has great buccess in treating stomach trouble?, and the secret of it is that he puts his patient on Grape-Nuts food â€" it al- ways brings back the power of diges- tion."

Will Represent the Russian Government. | The traffic arrangement by which the C.P.R. will represent the Rus- ; sian Government in providing for ' through freight services from the Dominion to Russia by the Trans- ' Siberian Railway and the Russian Volunteer Fleet, which is an auxiliary of the railway, is an amplification of the connection which the company 1 has au.stained with the Trans-Siber- ! ian Railway, which is a state-owned ^ system. The Company has offices in Moscow and Petrograd in which it does business,, the only railway on this continent to have such offices in i j Russia. If it would seem strange I that the Company .should do business ' I in either city, it need only be men- 1 j tioned that the C.P.R. is the only j I railway in America which is a mem- j ber of the Round the World Confer- j I ence of which the executive of the ; I Trans-Siberian Railway is a chief . element. The Canadian Pacific, in its | round-the-world tours, uses, of course, the Trans-Siberian Railway I line, which the average Russian al- I ways calls tha "Transcontinental" i line â€" this being the notion the sys- 1 tern conveys to his mind. On this line" there are three types of engine the wood, oil and coal using engine. The wood engine is a special type, which is not built at all on fhis con- tinent, but it serves the purpose in the physical circumstances on the system, which is differentiated in several ways from those on this continent. * BD. ft.

The .3fith Annual Meeting of the Canadian Order of Foresters convened on Tuesday afternoon, the 15th of June, in the City of St. Catharines, at 2 p.m. Delegates were in attendance from all parts of the Dominion, every province being represented. The High Court meets in this city for the first time since its inception. The following officers of High Court were present at the opening session: J. A. Stewart, High Chief Ranger, Perth, Ont.; J. A. A. Brodeur, High Vice-Chief Ranger, Montreal, Que.; Alf. P. van Someren, High Secretary, Brantford, Ont.; Robert Elliott, High Treasurer, Brantford, Ont.: Dr. U. M. Stanley, Chairman of the Medical Board, Brantford, Ont.; W. G. Strong, Superintendent of Organization, Brantford, Ont.; W. L. Roberts, First High Auditor, Brantford, Ont., and A. Shultis, Second High Auditor, Brant- ford, Ont., and N. J. Stevenson, Toronto, Ont.; R. T. Kemp, Listowel, Ont; A. R. Galpin, London, Ont.; F. H. Davidson, Winnipeg, Man,; A. R. Coffin, Truro, N.S., members of the Executive Committee. In addition to the above, A. L. Jones, Dist. H. C. R., Brandon, Man.; A. K. Berry, Past Dist. H. C. R , Hol- land, Man., and D. E. McKinnon, Dist. High Secretary, Winnipeg, Man., representatives from the District High Court for Manitoba, were present. The Annual Reports of the various officers of this Order are again of a very satisfactory nature, showing that the .steady progress which has been its experience since its inception in 1879, was continued in the year 1914, which is the period covered by these reports. This Order confines its business en- tirely to the Dominion of Canada. In all its departments, in spite of the ad- verse general conditions which have been experienced in Canada, uniform progress is demonstrated. The increase in the insurance funds during the year amounted to $375,- 295.94, this increase being the second largest in the Order's experience, and only some $5,000.00 less than the largest increase in any one year, which occurred in 1912. The standing of this fund at the end of the year, after the payment of 599 death claims, amounting to $613,890.12, showed funds on hand of $4,740,368.01; the amount at the present time being $4,884,441.13. The yearly revenue de- rived from the investments of the Order now constitute a very substan- tial amount of the annual income. Interest earned on investments of in- surance funds during 1914 amounted to $223,761.64, a:nd paid 36.44 per cent, of tne total death claims on the Order. In respect to the matter of invest- ment^, it is interesting to know that the Order confines the investment of its funds to the purchasing of muni- cipal and school debentures of the Dominion of Canada. During the last two years, with an exceptional market in such direction, from the investor's point of view, the Exectjtive Commit- tee has been able to take very exten- sive advantage of the situation. The Sick and Funeral Benefit Fund shows a larger net increase than that experienced in any prevjous year in the Order's history, the increase for the year being $55,071.58. Interest earned on investments of Sick and Funeral Benefit Funds (these invest- ments being of a similar nature to those made of the Insurance Funds), amounted to $18,723.10, and after the payment of 7,319 sick and funeral benefit claims, amounting to $188,- 430.35, the amount standing at the credit of this fund was $403,284.77, the same fund at the present time standing at $409,583.63. The General Fund is also in a satisfactory condition. Many special charges, incident to the war, including donations to National and Patriotic Funds, and the arrangement for carrying members on overseas service, hereafter referred to, have been arranged as anticipated without any inconvenience to this fund. In respect to membership also sub- stantial progress was made, the mem- bership at the end of the year 1914 standing at 91,557. Besides the ordinary beneflts from its Life Insurance and Sick and Funeral Benefit Departments, special provision is made, under the constitu- tion of the Order, for assistance to those of its members suffering from tubercular trouble of any kind. A special grant is made extending over a period of six months, with a view to assisting to defray the cost of treatment in any of a number of sani- taria in Canada, making a specialty of such cases, and the membership is urged to take advantage of such treatment in the incipient stages of the malady. It is gratifying to note after a per- usal of the reports of all the officers, the far-reaching benefits that are be- ing derived by the membership in the various, directions in which this Soci- ety endeavors to be of assistance to the individuals composing same. Since 1879, about ten and a half mil- lions of dollars have been paid out in benefits by this Society, and, in fact, the whole record of the Order, as sub- mitted in these reports, is well worth the perusal of those who perhaps have been skeptical regarding the perma- nency and stability of fraternal insur- ance concerns. These reports ftirniKh evidence of careful management in the conduct of the Society's affairs, and reflect credit on its administration.
