USED HERCULEAN STRENGTH
Sir William MacGregor Years Ago
Gained Distinction by Saving Many
Lives From Wreck.

Sir William MacGregor, G. c. NJ. G.,
is a man of Herculean strengthen
deed, until he took part some years
ago in the rescue of some Indian
coolies from a shipwrecked vessel, he
stated that he had not previously real
lied the value of his great strength,
says a correspondent.
A broken mast was the only connec-
ton with the stranded vessel, and over
this, again and again, Sir William
clambered with man or woman on
his back, and more often than not a
child also between his teeth, held by
the clothes.
On reef below was a woman, who
had fallen overheard, having got al
the ships spirits and become mad
drunk. Two men who went after he1
were in the act of being swept out
to sea, when Sir William slid down q
rope, seized the woman's hair between
his teeth, grasped the two men anC
brought all three to a place of safety
For this he received the Albert Cole
Medal from Queen Victoria, and the
Clark Gold Medal from Australia.

ed, 1t holds its leaves until spring,
almost, and therefore should not be
allowed to shade windows which need
the winter light.
The various clematis are all beauti-
full and desirable climbers. 1t is not
generally known that if Clematis pani-
culata is severely cut back after flow
ering it will form new wood which will
bear fine flowers and many of them the
next season.
Ideal plants for covering brick,
stone and rough surfaces are the am
pelopsis and hedena heliX-the true
European ivy. The latter prefers a
northern exposure as the alternating
thawing and freezing of late winter
is apt to kill it if grown where the sun
strikes it. The ampelopsis, better
known as the Boston ivy or Virginia
creeper, is at all times beautiful. The
tender growth in the spring is delicate
ly shaded and in the fall the leaves
are gorgeous in vari-colored Colds,
| crimsOnS and scarlets.
Morning glories, cypress vines,
sweet peas, gourds, nasturtiums, Japa-
nese hops, with cucumber are among
our most desirable annual climbers.
Seeds of them do not cost much, and q
| package of one or the other will yield
shade, beauty and grace.
The sides of a steep terrace or bank
may be transformed into a thing OF
beauty by planting trailers among its
top. Rosa Wichuraiana, the memorial
rose, and its hybrids are desirable fol
this purpose. 1t produces q profusioI
/ of long wreaths of small thicllly sci
leaves, that look as though they were
vanished. In June it literally covers
itself with large, white single roses.
The Virginia creeper, the honey
suckle, nasturtiums and moon vine!
are trailers rather than climbers. O.
garden plants the sweet potato ant
the dewberry are genteel enough to b,
grown as trailers, They give edible
instead of flowers.

The Soldier.

We have heard from one of our cor
respondents abroad - somewhere in
darkest England, says an exchange.
And he relates that an American SOL
der accompanied him to a shop in
London, where he wished to purchase
a book. And while the soldier was
waiting, he, too, saw book he thought
he'd like, and asked the young won1-
an it's price.
"Three and six, sir" answered the
shop assistant.
(Which is the three and which is the
six?" asked the soldier.
''There aren't two sorts, sir-this
book is three and six"
"Well, that makes nine," said the
soldier. "Can't you add? I'll take it.
Nine what-pennies or pounds?''

A dozen or so of homemade crullers
wrapped separately in oiled paper and
packed in a dainty basket such as can
be purchased for from 10 to % cents
should be an acceptable gift for some
man friend who lives in a hotel. For a
bachelor friend a gift of similar nature
is a homemade cake done up in white
paper and placed in a holly trimmed
box. Most men have a secret sweet
tooth, and Christmas seems to be the
time to have it filled.

Gods Nature to Love.

Men have misunderstood the nature
Of God. They have emphasized his
justice. The law of rectitude must be
conserved, they said. Yet justice with
out love is mere vengeance. From the
beginning of time God has been abroad
upon his message of recovery. He
comes to seek and save the lost.
Though all men despair, God never
despairs. He loves the lost because it
is his nature to love. Your sin can
and at last will conquer and bring you
home.

That glorious song OF old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps Of gold
Peace on earth. good will to men
From Heavens al-gracious King
The world In solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing.
And We, beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toll on the climbing way
With painful steps and slow,
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
Oh, rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels singl

To be eager to give is a wiser social
policy than to be over-solicitous to get,
or over-precise In exacting what we

pleasure in dispensing 1t, and tie no
strings to It, and are careless when or

SELF DEFENSE
Defeat Backache and Kidney
Trouble With Anuric

Many people in this section have suffer-
ed from rheumatism and kidney trouble
and have found that Anuric was the most
successful remedy to overcome these
painful and dangerous ailments.
The lucky people are those who have
suffered, but who are now well because
they needed natures warning signal in
time to correct their trouble with that
wonderful new discovery of DR.. Pierce's
called "An-u-ric" double strength. You
should promptly heed these warnings,
some of which are dizzy spells backache,
irregularity of the urine or the painful
twinges of rheumatism, sciatica or lum-
bago. To delay may make possible the
dangerous forms of kidney disease, such
as stone in the bladder. If you want
quick relief buy Anuric now (60c pack
age)-or send DR.. Pierce 1Oc for trial pkg.
This will prove that "Anuric' eliminates
uric acid as hot water melts sugar.

Kidney Disorder

The most simple methods are usually
the most u.s4ctiye ones when treating
any disorder of the human system.
The mere drinking a cup of hot water
each morning, plenty of pure water all
day. and little Anuric before every
meal has been found the most effective
means OF overcoming kidney trouble.
Death would occur if the kidneys did
not work day and night in separating
poisons and uric acid from the blood.
The danger signals are backaehe,
depressions. pains, heaviness, drowsiness,
irritability, headache, chillness, rheumatic
twinges, swollen joints or govt.

You reckless men and women who

TO any corn or callus the soreness is re-

ius, root and all, lifts off with the fin
gers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or cal
ius without infaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but will posi-.
lively rid ones feet of every hard or
soft corn or hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn't any freezone he can get
