Philip told the driver to turn down into

In the space between the railway and
the river the air of desolation was even
more oppressive than in Broadway.
Tall chimneys standing guard over
many-windowed factories whose walls
had never vibrated with the jar of the

occasional family of negroes living
rent-free in the industrial desert. 1t

never had had before, daily expert
ence in the practical side of his work
was ever more and more impressing
upon him the sovran fact of his pro-
fession that 1.-The proud mission Of the
physician is distinctly twofold, name
ly, to alleviate human suffering as
well as to preserve human life"
To a man of Simpsons sensitive ma
ture, this truth made constant APP
peal. And yet how little, hitherto, had
the profession been able to do to
realize it, especially in relation to the
department to which his life-work was
now directed. and where some realiza-
ton of it was, perhaps, most of all to
be desired! To nobody. therefore, was
the first whisper of the good news of
the discovery of an anaesthetic that
could relieve suffering more welcome
that to Professor Simpson.
The year 1916 is the date OF the
discovery of the fact that "by inhal-
ing sulphuric ether"-(the genesis of
chloroform)-"the generality Of indi-
viduals may be rendered insensible to
pain" This discovery was made by
Or. Morton Of Boston. News OF the
discovery which, so far. however, had
only been applied in America to den
tai surgery. very soon reached Eng.
land. where its merits were eagerly
discussed. Its great value was imme-
iiately proven by various experiments.
Simpson among others estimating I;
highly and, as likely-when applied
10 other departments of surgery and
when certain elements of danger to
life were eliminated from the specific
to become an anodyne of wonderful
efficacy. How far and in what precise
form it could be made so was the
problem that Simpson at once set to
work upon. and for this undertaking
he was probably one OF the best
equipped medicos at the time in Great
Britain.

CURE THAT SORE THROAT

Sore throat is Inflammation Of the
mucous membrane Of the throat, and
if this membrane happens to be at all
sensitive predisposition to sore
throat will exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is both a
preventative and a cure for sore
throat because it possesses extraor-
binary cleansing, healing and germi-
cidal qualities. Just little in a glass
of water, used as a gargle, will quick
ly relieve all soreness and strengthen
the mucous membrane of the throat,
and thus overcome all tendency to
sore throat.
Paxtine is far superior to liquid an
tiseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and
hygienic uses.
Paxtine may be obtained at any
drug store, % and soc box, or sent
postpaid upon receipt of price by The
Paxton Toilet Co, Boston, Mass.

MORE EXCELLENT
REPORTS FROM
WESTERN CANADA
Grains Are Heading Out
Rapidly and Harvest Is
Now Approaching With
a Great Demand for
Harvest Help.

Last week 1t was pointed out In
these columns that there would be a
yield of about 200,000,000 bushels of
wheat throughout Western Canada, an
increase of about 100,000,000 over the
previous year, and that the demand
for farm help was very great. Con-
firmation of this news is to hand and
the cry still is for more help. The
Canadian authorities are hopeful that
the friends of the 100000 or 100000
Americans who have gone to Canada
during the last few years will come to
the help of these people and induce
as many ablebodied men as they pos
sibly can to take advantage of the
low rate which is being offered from
all points on the Canadian Boundary,
and particulars of which can be had
from any of the following Agents Of
the Canadian Government: M. V. Nc
Innes, 176 Jefferson Avenue, Detroit,
Mich; G. A. Laurier, Marquette.

Every facility will be afforded men
of the right stamp to secure advantage
of these low rates. To those who pro-
pose to go, it may be said that they
will have this splendid opportunity of
securing first hand information as to
the excellent producing character Of
the lands in Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta. They will have the OPP
portunity of seeing some of the great
est wheat fields in the world and prob
ably the largest yield of wheat, oats
and barley that has ever been grown
on the Continent. And all this on
land some of which cost the settler
only the $1,000 necessary to enter for
his homestead, or, if he purchased,
in some cases, costing him from $500
to $1,000 per acre, but which is now
worth from $500 to $4,000 per acre.
Even at these prices the land is re-
markably cheap as will be realized
when the statement Is made that from
| 20 to 25 bushels per acre and over
of wheat are grown, netting the farm
er from $500 to $1,000 per acre; and
this on land that he got for nothing
or paid merely a nominal price. In
fact the production shows that $500
to $4,000 per acre would be nominal
price for land that would produce as
these lands produce.

THE END OF ALL THINGS.

THE END OF ALL THINGS.
Like a few other sensible people
Philip and Helen deferred their we'd

as u welcome relief from the round o.
domestic and social duties for the wife,
and a needed rest from the drudgery
of business for the husband. Philip

Helen had pleaded for autumn and the

said.

And so it came about that on GER
tain golden October day, when the rug
ged outlines of Jubal mountain were
melting in the soft autumn haze, and
the fragrance of summer blossoms had
given place to the spicy sweetness OF
withered leaves and ripened fruit, a
thinly-peopled train on the Chiwassee
Valley Extension debarked two Of it's
passengers at the ornate station which
aforetime had been too small to ac-
commodate the throngs besieging it
at train-hours. There was no lack of
room now, however, and when Philip
lifted Helen to the platform the empty
train-shed echoed their steps as if pro-
testing against the invasion of its soli-
tude. At the arched entrance, where
the crowd of vociferous hackmen used
to fight for patronage, they were met
ny single decrepit negro.

of unspoiled courtesy.

y the long and notable list of dis
coverers in the domain OF medical
science-those who have done
much to reduce the sum of human
suffering during the past fifty OR
sixty years-there are two outstand-
ing names that will always command
special measure of the gratitude of
the world, namely, Sir James Young
Simpson for his achievement in the
field of anaesthetics, and Lord Lister
for the successful application of his
system of antiseptics to surgery.
More, perhaps, than any others in a
century of medical advance along
various lines, both discoveries have
practically revolutionized the old med
ical formulate and made obsolete for
ever the ancient dictum that physical
pain was an absolutely necessary part
of the human lot. to be borne as best
1t may, and, in the pathetic phrase OF
Robert Burns, without remeid!" 1t
is, however, with Simpson that we are
mainly concerned at present, since
the centenary of his birth has recent
ly occurred This took place at Bath
gate, Scotland, an unpretentious town
between Edinburgh and Glasgow. His
parents, David Simpson and Mary
Jarvey, were, if in a humble way of
life of excellent report, and both were
descended from goodly stock.
Having graduated at Edinburgh uni
versity with much distinction when
but mere lad, young Simpson was at
the time of the discovery of anaes-
thetics in his thirty-fifth year, and al
ready occupied the chair of midwifery
Prior to this, however, he had given

said Philip, unconsciously lowering his
voice in difference TO the sepulchral
quiet of the street. You'd hardly be-

we'd miss it,
On either side of the grass-grown
streets were the costly monuments of
the sham city's brief day of activity and
life. Lofty buildings, empty from Gel
lar to roof; rows of vacant store-rooms,
lined with dusty shelving and Uttered
with the forlorn debris of hasty re-
movals; shattered glass on the side
walk; withered grass festooning the
cornices; and. in front of the disman-
tied Bank of Allacoochee, the skeleton
of an electric car left to dissolve peace
fully on the rusty tracks in the road
way. Here and there the desolation
was emphasized rather than relieved
by scanty and shop-worn display in
the windows of some merchant who
had been unwilling or unable to join
his neighbors in the general exodus
following the crash; pitiable tlotsam
ard jetsam left by the high tide of
commerce to bleach and molder on the
rocks of an uncharted island in the
ocean of traffic. OF these stranded
wrecks, the most notable was the store
OF a dealer in hardware just across
from the Chwassee national bank.
THAT is where l bought my pistol
on the night of the garroting," said
Philip, telling the driver to pull up at
the curbstone.

He thought he had prepared himself
for anything that Thorndyke could pos
sibly say or do, but the forearmiug
had been altogether on the side of resis-
lance, and Philips enthusiastic out
burst of hilarious approval left him
quite helpless.
"By Jove, old man, that was the only
thing that was needed to make this the
happiest day of my life!"-Thorn-
dyke was wringing his hand till it
ached. God bless you-God bless you
both! And you're a lucky dog, too: the

1t was a hurried farewell at the farm
house and a sharp gallop to town, with
a breathless scramble for scattered be-
longings at the hotel; but Philip
caught the train, and there was still
time for him to scribble a telegram
which he thrust out Of the car window
to Protheroe as the wheels began to
turn. 1t was to Helen, and it read:
