' . j WHY BACKS ACHE The Kidneys Seldom to Blame The Trouble Due to Blood Impurities. There Is morj nonsense talked about backache than any oti-er trouble. Some pople have been frightened Into the belief that every backache cleans i deadly kidney trouble. As a matter of j medical fact not one backache In twcn- 1 ty has anything to do with the kidneys. Most backaches come from sheer weakness and kidney drugs can't help] that. You iwed something to Improve' your blood and build you up, and that ; Is exactly what Dr. Williams' Pick j Pills will do. Some backaches are) really muscular rheumatism; some are | the symptoms of such ailments as in-j flueuza, indigestion, constipation and i liver troubles. In women most bsck- achos come froia any weakness or ir- regularity of the blood supply. To get rid of the trouble take a tonic like Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to enrich the blood and briug strength to aching backs and weak nerves. Mr. W. Prince, Levering.

All Scots, however, are not Gaels. . The majority of Lowlandera and the populations of the southern and east- ern sections of Scotland are prlncipal- ly Teutonic in blood and show to-day as great a proportion of true Anglo . Saxon blcod as to be found in any part of England except the Yorkshire sec- tion (in the North).

Poifion-gas, the greatest horro- of modern warfare, has been put to many excellent uses in time of peace. It has been employed with the great- est success to get rid of both rats and mice. A heavy gas Is used which trickles down tie holes like water through a pipe. A lighter form of ga.s is turned on to flies when they seek their winter quar- ters in the cracks of ceilings and walls of warm rooms. The majority of flies die when winter comes in, but num- bers of dbem manage to exist through the cold weather, anxt It is they who produce the following siunmer's myri- ads of winged pests. If we could des- troy all the winter sleepers by means of gas, there would soon be very few Hies in the whole country. A third use for gas was found dur- ing the summer, when, whole tracts of fruit trees were being devou.-ed by swarms of caterpillars. Aeroplanes flying low above the tree-tops sprayed heavy gus upon them and the caterpillars dropped Jead in thousands. Earache ?

Were Uie first germs cf life brought to the earth by meteors? This interesting theory has been suggested by two French scientists. It was believed that no life could survive In the intense cold of space, which is probably nearly five fcundred degree* below zero. But it is thought now that under those conditions certain low forms of life might exist. Tht^y would not be killed but merely suspended. j Experiments have shown that some seeds survive in a temperature of four I hundred and twenty degrees below i zero. | Germs of life have, it is clalmpJ, ! been found in a number of meteorites which have at various limes fallen to the earth.
