Experience Has Proven thc Dependability of   the  Well-known
Medicines of the Gieat
Receipt Book
Author
Hyas, Sask., Feb. 5.���-Many Western homes are far from doctors   and
druggists.      On this    account    it    is
necessary to havc at hand such medicines as may be needed in. case    of
sickness and disease.
In the great majority of these
homes you will find Dr. Chase's
Medicines, and frequently a copy of
Dr. Chase's Receipt Book. These
letters will give you some idea of the
satisfactory results which are obtained    by    the    use    of Dr. Chase's

tachment of the far north and garrisons  of thc crown  colonies and  India.
"These arrangements seem to be
thc best advisable for the year of
11919. During thc ycar, however, we
must remake tba old British regular
army so as to provide, on a voluntary basis, overseas garrisons and
foreign stations."
One reason why a man's life is so
much fuller than a woman's is that
he spends nearly three-quarters of it
in hunting up things for a woman- to

now on the offensive wilh infantry or

seven thin columns of thc allies and
Russians which have penetrated southward through the frozen forest
swamps of thc province of Archangel.
Thc enemy entered Shenkursk.
while thc tired column of Americans,
Russians and- British, which havc
evacuated Shenkursk, marched in a
roundabout way over the deep snow
on thc road, evading a force of several hundred of the enemy who waited on thc main high road lo trap thc
column in its retreat.
In good spirits, despite long
marches in the cold and ten days of
hard fighting, the troops of the allied
forces were at Shegovari, approximately thirty miles north of Shenkursk on the Vaga river. The enemy
apparently is sending patrols to follow the retreating troops, but no new
attacks had been made on this sector.

Shot Hugh McKee's Dog
About one o'clock on Sunday
afternoon in front of tbe Harvey
house on Government street, some
person shot and severely injured a
dog owned by Hugh McKee.
Hugh is unable to account for such
a cruel deed and would not have
cared so much if the person had
killed the dog but to let it return
home in such agony wag too much
to bear. It is not that the dog is
valuable but it bus been a constant
companion of Mr. McKee for 12
or more years. Some years a_go
poison was used as a means of
doing away with clogs, but in this
j case, judging from the wouud, the
dog was hit with a bullet from a
small power rifle, and the party
wiio hurt the dog was very bold as
to do it in broad day light.

"Only a horse, they said.
"A broken,w.rn-oiit nag is dead."
Tiie gaping crowd passed by,
Scarce one or two looked on with listless
eye.
The driver of the  truck���himself grown
���    -   old,
Stood, nonplussed  in   the  March-wind's
cutting cold.
Then suddenly his voice broke to a moan,
Aiid,. kneeling   down   upon   the jagged
stone,
lie wept hot tears,   and,  fondling   the
great mane,
He   spoke, in   tones   grief-choked   and
sharp with pain:
"He was my friend, was Jim;
And   now, . see!    Death   has come   and
taken him.
Poor Jim. was blind,
And   yet  I" don't know [where a horse
��� ���'���"��� you'll iiiid,"--
That did liis work as well as iaithful Jim.
On many a lnorniiig diui,:
Before the sun was up, or folks astir,
He hauled his garbage  truck���old pals
-   we were.     ���
And never the whip was  used  upon  his
" ��� hack,
For steady,: like a soldier on the track,
He stood up to his job, who couldn't see-
He was   a great,  good   friend, was  Jim,
to ine,
."Much  better than  some  people  that.  I
know.
And now he's dead���laid low   .    .    .
"I almost wish 'twas me, instead o' him���
Poor Jim?"

RE-ESTABLISHING AN INTERRUPTED CONNECTION
A telephone "cut-ofF,"  as it is called,  may be due to the
..: temporary disarrangement of signal uieclianism at the switchboard,, or just   a  plain   human mistake  by an   operator  at
"Central" or at a branch exchange board.
In either event, it is a source of no less regret to the operator than disturbance to the person talking. And the connection may be re-established with maximum promptness if the
person who was called will hang up the receiver, while .the per-,
son who called works his receivcrrhook slowly upand.dowu, advising the operator what has occurred aiid considerably furnish-,
ing her with sucli imformation as she may require.
