\l GOOD RICH BLOOD MEANS GOOD HEALTH Just a Little More Rich, Red Blood Cures Most Ailments. The lack of sufficient rich, red blood does not end merely in a pale complexion. It is much more seri- ous. Bloodless people are tired, lan- guid, run-down folk who do not en- joy life. Food does not nourish; there's indigestion, heart palpitation, headache, backache and nearly al- ways nervousness. If this blood- lessness is neglected too long, a de- cline is sure to follow. Just a little more rich, red blood cures all these troubles. Then you have new health, new vitality and pleasure in life. To get more rich, red blood the remedy Is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. No other medicine increases and enriches the blood so quickly or 80 surely. This is not a mere claim. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done this over and over again and that is why thousands of people always have a good word to say for this medicine. Miss Gertrude Haffner, Kingston, Ont, says: â€" "About two years ago I was suffering greatly with anae- mia, so much so that I had to give up my situation. I became so weak that I could scarcely walk without help. I had no ambition, no color, no appetite and was constantly troubled with headaches and dizzy spells. I was taking medicine from the doctor, but it did not do me a particle of good. One day a friend asked me if I had tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Though as the result of my condition I was greatly discour- aged, I began the use of the Pills, and thanks to that good friend's ad- vice after using a few boxes I began to feel much better. Under the con- tinued use of the pills I gained in weight, my color came back, and I grew gradually stronger. I looked so much better that people would ask me what I was taking and I had no hesitation in giving the credit to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I am so grateful for what this medicine has done for me that I will do all I can to extend its use." You can get these pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2 . 50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. . ^ FOOD PRICES IN GERMANY. Tabic Shows War Increaseâ€" Butter Over 66 Cents a Pound. Food stuffs are getting more and more costly in Germany! According to the statistical office prices of some foods have trebled. No figures are given on the price of (lifi'erent kinds of meat, cheese, far- inaceous foods and so on. There are other products also of which no re- port has been given for more than a year. The variation of prices of different articles since the war began is shown in the table below. The prices are given in so many pfennig per pound; 100 pfennig ia equivalent to about 24 cnts. The table: 1914. 1916.

Qrape-Nuts (Made in Canada) embodies th« full, rich nutriment of whole wheat combined with malted bar- ley. This combination gives it a distinctive, de- licious flavour unknown to foods made from wheat alone. Only selected grain is used in making Grape- Nuts and through skillful processing it comes from the package fresh, crisp, untouched by hand, and ready to eat. Through long baking, the energy producing starches of the grain are made wonderfuly easy of digestion. A daily ration of this splendid food yields a marvelous return of health and comfort.

Some Wonderful Examples of the Strength of the Mighty Deep. If war were not filling every page of every newspaper, we should have been thrilled by desciiptions of the awful storm which rei mtly swept across the West Indies and the Gulf of Mexico, says London Answers. Galveston, the great cotton port, was turned into an island, and the McClellan, a large army transport steamer of some six thousand tons, was lifted by one gigantic wave and set down half a mile inland, where she now lies high and dry. Unless you have been in a storm at sea â€" or, rather, out in the ocean â€" it is impossible to imagine the strength of the enormous rollers. These green hills of water, crested with snowy foam, are sometimes forty feet high, and the distance between one crest and the next as much as a quarter of a mile. Such waves travel at a speed of between thirty and forty miles an hour. 350 Feet Above Sea-Level. These huge ocean waves, disporting themselves on top of water two or three miles deep, are not dangerous unless a ship be driven Into them. It is when they come crashing into shoal water that they pile themselves up into real mountains and achieve such extraordinary feats of power. Near the Eddystone Lighthouse the sea is 200 fathoms, or 1,200 feet, de«p. Within a little disUnce this decrease! to thirty fathoms. Here storm-wavti heap up into real mountains of solid water fully one hundred feet in height In a westerly gale the Atlantic breaks with incredible force on the huge, bare cliffs of the Irish coast. Here Lord Dunraven has actually measured wave-crests which struck the rocks one hundred and fifty feet above sea -level. Yet even this is child's play with what happens in the Mariana Islands. Here is a giant pillar of rock known aa Lot's Wife. It stands three hun- dred and fifty feet clear above the sur- face of the ocean, yet in storms the spray drenches it to its topmost pin- nacle. Drowned by the Thousand. The Bishop's Rock lies between th« Scillies and Land's End, and is expos- ed to the full force of the winter gales, .'Vt the top of the massive tower there used to be a great bell, used for warn- ing in fogs. In one storm a wav« washed this bell clean away and cov- ered the upper gallery with sand. This gallery is just one hundred feet above ordinary high-tide. The greatest waves â€" apart from the true earthquake wave â€" are those caus- ed by cyclones or circular storms. In such a storm the barometer may be lower by three inches in the centre of the storm than at its edge. The con- sequenco of this tremendous reduction of pcessure is that the sea in the vor- tex rises high above the usual level, and in this way are produced waves of appalling size and height. It was a wave of this type which, in the dreadful cyclone of 1876, swept upon the mouth of the Ganges, and drove in over an area the size of De- vonshire. By marks upon the trees it was ascertained that this great wall of salt water rolled in forty-five feet high. The damage done was appalling and more than one hundred thousand unfortunate natives were drowned. Carried Over the Trce-Topa. One of the worst hurricanes of which wo have any record was that which swept KaratonRa, in the Pacific Ocean, in the year 1846. Believe it or not, a vessel from Tohiti was lifted by the great wave, carried over the tops of the palm-trees, and dropped far in- land. The captain, who survived, de- posed on oath that he felt the tree- tops grating against the schooner's timbers as she was swept along on the crest of this monstrous roller! The greatest of ordinary wind- waves are seen in the so-called "Roar- ing Forties," south of Cape Horn. They rise to forty-six feet The Bay of Biscay deserves its bad name, for there waves thirty-six feet high have been measured. In the North Sea waves do not exceed fourteen feet, but they are steep and very dangerous, while in the Mediterranean fifteen feet seems to be the limit. ^1 DUBLIN'S PITIFUL RUINS. Fairest and Richest Part of City is in Condition of Rheims. The fairest and the richest part of Dublin, the centre of its life, is In the condition of Ypres or Rheims. The stately thoroughfare in which it justly took pride as one of the finest in Europe is a desert of hideous ruins, and acres of the hand- some business streets surrounding it, hives of stirring commerce, are simply obliterated. This is the work chiefly of bombardment and of con- flagrations started by bombardment (Had the authorities taken the most ordinary routine measures of pro- tection and placed a guard of even 25 men on the alert at the General t'ost Office and other strategic posi- tions which they knew, or ought to have known, were to bo attack«d, no such bombardment would have been called for; the rising would have been nipped in the bud.) Not merely are the streets destroyed, but so are the money-making and employment giving businesses that were carried on there. And some of the tokens of Dublin's claim to be a national metro- polis, the marks of her civilization, are gone likewise. Her Royal Hibern- ian Academy, which had just been holding its annual exhibition of pic- tures, looks with its skeleton walla and its battered friezes like a building in Pompeii â€" or perhaps like the Library of Louvain. HOW TO CREATE AN ESTATE. The Way a Man May Have Something When Old Age Creeps Upon Him. As a means of preventing poverty and as a method by which families deprived by death of the providing member may not become objects of , charity, there has never In the world been anything devised which equals I the power for good as a well-manag- j ed life Insurance company. j Life Insurance as developed to-day I is of the greatest economic value. It is the bonding together of many men, I and the paying in of certain sums by ! each, to minimize the financial loss I experienced by other members of the ' company. I Life insurance in the beginning was j solely for protection, but variations in the different forms which exist to- 1 day have been brought forth to meet â-  jthe demands of the public, as. they 'arose from time to time, but we be- lieve the faither a company varies ' from the primal idea â€" namely protec- I ] tion â€" the less is its power for g^ood. ' I As an Investment we have nothing > ' to say against it, and the vast accu- i ' mulations of surplus which the dlf- i ^ ferent companies have made and ! which they hold for policyholders I speaks for itself, but the principle of ' making provision ii often lost sight of in th« attempt to creata an asset at a futur« dat«, for a person's own benefit | i It ia a curious thing that no mat>- ' ter how badly a man may need life insurance, he has a tendency to side- I step It until he is finally caught, and, j ; as has been aptly said, some men get ' life insurance to-day much In the ^ I same manner as they get religion. ! I His emotions must be appealed to, and \ he often takes the step in a moment of enthusiasm ; generally he is pleas- ed with himself afterwards, and if he is a right-thinking and a proper business man ha seldom or never lapses his policy. In going over the daily press week j by week and year by year, we see tho j probates of wills of many people, and I we are often astounded by the small- I ness of the estate, if any, to take \ care of those left behind, and in many cases we find that the principal asset, j when any, Is usually a life insurance j policy taken out by the breadwinner. The building of an estate at the present time, or even at any time. Is ^ j a tedious and long-drawn-out mat- | Iter. It is not generally known that j ' fully 95 per cent, of the people who ; enter business fail during some time or other. Neither is it generally I known that fully 97 per cent, of the \ public, when they attain advanced age, ; have little or nothing to live upon. If j even a small fortune is to be accumu- lated it must be wiiely and intelli- gently managed, and when people are ' so busy, as they are to-day, endeavor- I ing to make ends meet, they have not much time at their disposal to look ' into investments. j By putting aside a small sum year- ly, as one's means permit, the mo- j ment the first payment is made on a ' life insurance policy an estate is ' created of the face value of the policy, I and if a man would only continue to ' add to this, in the best years of his earning capacity, he would have some- thing when old age creeps upon him which would bo security against many of the troubles he might have to meet, and if ha has this sum at his disposal when he comes to advanced ago he will have many people anxious to give him tho comforts to which ha is entitled. The Summer " Life- Savers '* are fruit, cereals and green vegetables. Meat in Summer overtaxes the liver and kidneys, potatoes cause intestinal fermenta- tion. Get away from the heavy Winter diet; give Nature a chance. One or two Shredded Wheat Biscuits, served with milk or cream | or fresh fruit, make a delici- ously nourishing, satisfying meal. Such a diet means good digestion, good health ; and plenty of strength for the day's work. All the ' goodness of the wheat in a digestible form.

Unprecedentedly harsh regulations are now in force regarding the carry- ing of any written or printed matter over the German frontiers. The fol- lowing notice has just been promul- gated by the military authorities: 1. Travellers on principle may take nothing written or printed across the Imperial frontiers. 2. Letters, post-cards, or other com- munications must be sent through the post 3. Exceptions to the above are let- ters or documents, written or printed, especially business papers, if (a) the taking of them is absolutely necessary to fulfill the object of the trip; (b) they are confined to the smallest pos- sible dimensions; and (c) they have been officially examined and seiiled up before arrival at the frontier. 4. Travellers can only reckon with safety on being permitted to take do- cuments across the frontier if the en- velope or packet containing them bears an undamaged seal. JOKE WAS ON THE SURGEON. Declined Pocketbook Which Contained Double His Fee. Velpeau, the great French surgeon, successfully perfonned a serious operation on a little child. The mo- ther, overjoyed, called at the sur- geon's office, and said: "Monsieur, my child's life is saved, and I do not know how to express my gratitude to you. Allow me, however, to present you this pocket-book em- broidered by my own hands." The great surgeon smiled sarcasti- cally. "Madame," ha said, "my art is not merely a matter of feeling. My life has its necessities, like yours. Al- low me, therefore, to decline your charming present, and to request some more substantial remuneration." "But, monsieur," asked the woman. "wliat remuneration do you desire?" "Five thousand francs." The lady (luietly opened the pocket- book, which contained ten notes of one thousand francs each, counted out five of them and, politely handing them to the amazed physician, retired with the remainder.

Depends on Their Size Before They Require Relining. The life of a gun depends upon the progress of erosion, which sooner or ' later is certain to impair the accuracy of fire. Erosion is caused by tho ac- tion of the explosive gases at high temperature and pressure. Accord- ing to the Iron Age, the hot gases cause a thin film of steel to absorb heat. The film expands and becomes set Upon the release of the pressure, it contracts, which causes minutp cracks that grow larger with evcrj- dis- charge. As they increase in sir.e they form passageways for more hot gas, and that tends to enlarge them still further. The inner surface thus be- comes roughened, and the bands be- gin to corrode. Finally, the bore be- comes so enlarged that it allows tho gases to escape. The shell does not then acquire its proper rotation, and its flight becomes erratic. All guns sxcept small ones are now construct- ed with linings in the tube which, when the bore is worn out, are removed and replaced by new ones. The cost of { relining a gun is approximately 30 per cent of the cost of the gun. There appears to be no limit to the number of times that a gun can be relined. The â-  small arms are considered to be worn out after 5,000 to 7,500 rounds have ' been fired. Small naval guns can be ' fired about 1,000 times before they are regarded as worn out Large twelve- j inch and fourteen-inch naval guns are I considered to have a life, on one lin- , Ing, of from 150 to 200 rounds. Low- velocity guns, such us howitzers and i mortars, have corrosponuingly longer i lives than high-velocity guns of the same calibre, because tho pressures they develop, and hence the tempera- tures, are lower. i 4 i iiciBCEiiZ<Asn:sua /"I A.NCElt.
