One of th«ie is Mr. Robt. A.

It Is needless to say that 1 underwent a great deal of suSering. The doctor's medicine did not seem to roadh the trouble, so when I was adirtaed to try Dr. Winiams' Pink Pills I did so, and lifter taking them for some weeks I \iaa able to get out of bed. I con- tinued using the pills and was soon able to work, and I havo not been trouble with rheumatism since. In other respects aloo I derived a great deal of benefit from these piBa and I think them a wonderful remedy."

CUNARD CANADIAN SERVICE ,53 Canaida Lead* Empire m Silver Production. Canad* ha» held the premier p:ace within the KuipiJ-*- «« the greatetit pro- ducer of eilver for the pft«t two de- cades, liuring the last few years Canada hee been the tbinl largest pro- ducing country Id the world, being out- ranked only by Mexico end the United State«. Laut y^ir (1925) third place wr.9 <sip<uped by Peru, whcise produc- tion exceeded that of Canada by slight- ly over one and a haW million ounces. The princlpol producing areas in Canada are. in order of their Import- ance. Ontario, Ilrltlsh Columbia, and Yukon., Silver ores havo also Uren found in <rth«''" parts of tije Dominion. but the total production from these area« has bpen small. The total re- corded production to the ood of 1925 is <93 million fine ounces, last year's output being slightly in ©xcee.s of 20 million ounoeR. The market price of silver fiuctuatcs from day to day; the hlglieet ycoriy averages were recorded on the London market In 1853 and 1854 at $1,348. an in 1920 at $1,348. The lowest price was In 1916 at $0,519. The total market value placed on Canada's production during the years for which records are available (1887 to 1925). based on average mar- ket values from year to year was $318,- 826.880. In 1925 the production waa valued at $13,815,742. The mines of Cobalt, South Lorxatn, and Godgcnda, all In tlio province of Ontario, are at present Canada's prin- cipal silver producer.s. Ontario's minee have contributed slightly over 363.3 million ounces to the acctinni- lated total of Canada's silver produc- tion, of which only 1.8 million ounces were produced prior to 1903. the year of the discovery of the Cobalt area. I'he average production in Ontario for each of the past fotir years was 10.7 million ounces. Dividends !>aid out to the end of 1925 by silver companies operating In northern Ontario amount- ed to approximately $92,000,000. Silver production in British Colum- bia and ill Yukon is obtained from lead-zinc cres. The pre«ent rate of proiiuetion in British Columbia Is about 8,500.000 ounces per annum; Y\ikon prociuctlon last year was about 90,"<,000 cnnc€S. There appears to be every reason to believe that the pre- s.-.nt rate of production of silver in Caj'.-ada will be maintained for some years to come. The de'Cline In pro- duction In CofcaJt has been- more than compen.«ated by new discoveries and increased production from South L<or- rain and Gowganda, and there has also been an Increase in the produc- tion from British Columbia. o ^ Diabetes. Once upon a time we saw a poster which read: "WTiy is food Important? Because we are food on legs!" We hope we are more thaji just that, but the subject of food must give us pause, although it is rather too much to say "Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are," yet any ona in any part of the country to-day v.-ill tell you that if you eat too much sugar and starchy foodu it will doubtless bring on diabetes. That is exactly what happens when the body is not able to properly take care of the sugar and starch contained in the food we eat. What are we eating? "We are eat- ing more cereal proiUicts than any of ou" ancestors ever ate. in the past, ex- cept perhaps the ancient Egyptians, who were the grain-eaters of antiquity. "We are outing much more sugar than any one in the world ever ate before. One hundred years ago the average consumption of sugar per per- son was about eleven (11) pounds in a year; to-day it is one hundred (100) pounds" ! During the war we ate less sugarâ€" diabetes was reduced; after the war we increased our stigar and dialK'tes increased. The main cause of diabetes is wrong food â€" too many sTveets and starchy foods. Xo sugar in tea and cotfee, no candy, no pastrj'. no iced cakes, uone but milk puddings, no cerealsâ€" are some of the "don'ts" for those who have a tendency to diabetes; use simple foods: milk, eggs, lean meat and llsh, fruits and vegetables, bran muffins or brown bread. This is the best preventive â€" proper diet.

BABY'S OWN T.4BIITS ARE OF GREAT VALUE To All Mothers Having Young Children in the Home. Xo ether medicine is of such aid to mothers of young children as is Baby's Own Tablets. The Tabltts are the very best medicine a mother can give her Kttls ones during the dreaded teething time because they regulate Lh^ stomach and bowels and thus drive out consti- pation and indigestion; prevent colic and diarrhoea and break up colds and simple t«vers. Concerning Baby's . Own Tablets, Mrs. John A. Patterson, Scotch Vil- lage, N.S., says: â€" "I hare six children, and all the madicine they ever get is Baby's Own Tablets. I would usd noth- ing else for them and can strcngly re- commend the Tablets to all other mothers." Baby's Own Tablets are sold by medicine deal-?^rs or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Wliliama' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Health Partnership and the Individual's Responsibility.

According to statistics issued by the Dominion Bviroau of Statistics, there was an appreciable advance in the production of talc and soapstone in Canada during 1925. Shipments total- led 14,474 tons vxUueJ at $205, S35 to 1925 as against 11,332 tons at $151,480 in 1924. The Ontario production of talc was obtained from deposits in Hastings County. Practically all of the Qudibec shipments consisted of soapstone blocks for use in lining the alkali re- covery furnaces of sulphate (kraft) pulp mills. A small tonnage of ground talc was shipped from a de- posit at Wolf Creek, Victoria Mining Division, British Columbia. How Much Do You Spend in Heating Your Attic? In cheaply built houses the attic floor is frequently omitted. It is a proven fact that warm air will pass through a plastered ceiling almost as readily as through a re;,'ister, and many cold houses have bc-e-n made warm with the «ame or even a less amount of fuel by lavTTjg a Hoct of matched beards in the attic. Cases have been rerortcd where the cost of doing this has been met in a siaglo season by the saving in coal. Roof insulation is the answer to the problem.
