The faster it melts the colder the ice

= The most important feature Of a
good refrigerator is ample facility for

For this reason the coolest place in
the refrigerator is the bottom and not

There must be suitable passages to

The circulation continues until the

ostrIehes Cheaper these DAVIS.

by the sale Of a full-growL bird for
three pence at Grahamstown. when
one recalls former prices. In the
early days OF ostrich farming. a chick
newly out Of tie egg would sometimes
fetch $40, and $500 has been
paid for good pair of grown birds.
But those were the days when one
plueking of a single bird would bring

quite a good pair of ostriches for s12.

Russian Soldiers Wear Paper Shirts.
Shirts made Of paper In Japan are
in regular use in large quantities for
the Russian army. They proved
their worth during the winter cam
paign in Poland and East Prussia. The
paper used is made from mulberry
bark. Paper clothing known as kamike
has long been in use among the jap
anese. Such clothing is not only cheap,
but most serviceable. its only draw
back being that it cannot be washed.
The paper is very soft and warm. but
has little size" Tor this reason a
thin layer of silk wadding is placed
between two sheets and the whole
quilted when it is to be used for
shirts or other clothes.

NORWAY.

The severe drought that for a while
threatened to destroy the crops has
been broken. About two inches of
rain fell in the eastern part of the
country, where it was most needed.
This acted like magic upon all kinds
of plant life. The pastures and the
root crops we're put in good shape in
a remarkably short time. In some
places the grain had commenced to
head cut before the rain came, and in
such cases the yield cannot be rich.
The hay crop is bound to be small all
over the eastern part of the country,
but there is likely TO be a rich after
math. The reports are more favorable
from other parts of the country. In
Finmarken the prospects are very
bright, for there has been plenty OF
rain and warm weather-above the
polar circle. From Nordland and
Trondelagen the reports are also IA
vorable.

THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experiences of Motherhcodis a try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch IN their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial OF strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
ahappy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
viii persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, most valuable tonic and
invigorator Of the female organism.
