THINGS WORTH REMEMBERING.
When you feel a kind of goneness about the
stomach it is sign that your food does not sit
well and that you are about to have fit of indi-
gestion
When you begin to feel nervous and are I'M
able to sit still comfortably; when your clothes
suddenly seem to lose their fit and become too
tight in places the fit of indigestion is surely
upon you.
When this fit of indigestion is repeated from
day today it finally resolves itself into dySpep-
STA,
Remember that three to ten of BRANDETH's
PILLS will cure the worst case of indigestion
or dyspepsia, or both, and that regular course
of them, say two every night or a week. or ten
days, will act as a preventive of either COM
plant.

AN ALGERIAN HAREM

The Arab Woman in Agiers Ii Far
Above Her Sex In Turkey.
The position of the Arab woman in
Algiers is far superior to that of her
sex in Turkey, and the French law,
which is rigidly enforced, prevents her
being sold into slavery. She is, how
ever, 'the victim of brutalizing
social code, founded on the bound-up
religion whose theory is pure, but
whose practices are barbarous.
When a child is born to Moorish
woman she considers it blessing if it
be boy, curse if girl, and directly
the girl comes into the world she Is
baptised in the name of Fathma, which
is the name of the mother of the
prophet A week after another name
is given her-the choice lies between
nineteen names, the prettiest of which
are Mimi, Zina, Fora and Halima.
The little girl natures early and is
married at ten or twelve years of age.
AS for her father, it is all he knows of
his daugher when some one takes her
from him in marriage. If the child be
the daughter of poor parents she
grows up to be beaten, overworked
and despised. If rich girl she is
neglected by her mother, and is given
over to the care of an old negress until
she is old enough to be married, and
then her life is lived out in a harem.
The French have tried to suppress
