Some Adviee to Shoppers.

IL is l little late to talk about ear ly shopping.
 It is | common practice to beg peo- pie to shop early in order to save wear and tear on clerks. especially women clerks.
 That k right and humane and kind
 But the main point is the one of self-interest.
 Nine-tenths of the goods you want for holiday purposes are in the stores now.
 You can find everything your heart could desire or your means cover. on counters and shelves.
 You eah find competent clerks who are not too busy to devote time to you. You can shop quietly and calmly which is good for the nerves.
 There k another item It is often easier to purchase B. worth of holiday goods eaeh week for four weeks than it is to save the money for s2C splurge in single shopping trip.
 Good advice is wasted on some folks, but there are enough people who de sire 10 avoid shopping trials and who are grateful when their memories are logged to make il worth while toprint this item EX.

of teamaking from province OF
China, with which, at that time, no
other nation of Europe was in contact.
1T was while travelling on horse
back with a guide in the wilder parts
of Portugal away from shops and inns,
where we had perforce to make ex-
periments in the most economical use
of the few ounces of tea and coffee
that we could afford to carry with us,
that we hit upon a discovery Hav-

Portuguese drink theirs, as a simple
infusion, sweetened with sugar.
Il remembered to have read, / be.

that. when the Chinese desire to be
thrifty in the use of the finer and
more expensive teas. they grind the
leaf TO a powder and use less for the
infusion. We found that tea could
be ground in coffee mill as easily
as coffee, that tea made with the pow

made with the whole leaf and that the

In a recently published autobiogra-
ply of Sir Henry Bessemer is told
how. in 1888, when he was youth OF
20. he learned that the British govern
ment was losing about 100000 year
through the use of forged stamps.
He set about finding a remedy. In
nine months he discovered how to
forge government stamps with the
greatest ease. This was risky bit
of knowledge for a struggling young
man who wanted money wherewith to
get married to the girl of his choice.
But young Bessemer having invented
forthwith the perforated stamp that
is row known everywhere, went gayly
to the government officials with the
forgeries in his pocket to ask If they
were genuine. When Sir Charles
Presley passed upon them as genuine,
Bessemer remarked that he knew they
were forgeries-"simply because |
forged them myself" Then he sug'
gested remedy. 1t was accepted.
Bessemer was offered the post of SUI
per'intendent of stamps-for plant and
staff must be reorganized-at $4,000 to
$4,000 a year.
Young Bessemer went away happily

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Aug. 14th.-
Mr.. c. l.. Smith, painter and decora-
tor, whose home is at 800 Anne street,
this city, makes the following state
ment:
Il was laid up with some kind Of
pains. Some said it was Lumbago,
other Sciatica and others again Rheu-
matism. A few of my friends sug-
gested that it was lead poison, but
whatever it was it gave me great
deal of pain; in fact, almost complete
ly crippled me. / had to use two
canes to walk about, and even then it
was a very painful task.
"A friend advised me to try Dodd's
Kidney Pills and | began the treat
ment. After had used the first box |
was able to throw away one of the
canes and was considerably improved.
The second box Strengthened me up Sc
that | could go about free from pain
without any assistance, and very soon
after | was completely cured, well end
happy, without a pain or an ache.
Dodd's Kidney Pills seemed to go
right to the spot in my case and they
will always have my greatest praise.
