The effects of low vitality On the eyesight are little understood, or fewer people would rush to the optician when trouble comes, instead of first trying to get the nervous system into good coniition. When the nerves become exhausted, about the first indication is weakness of the optic nerve, and consequent eye trouble and nervous headaches. The strain on the optic nerve, in continually adjusting and focusing the lens of the eye is enormous, and when the nervous force in the body is diminished' the trouble is first felr in the sight and by severe headaches. By forming new, red corpuscles in the blood, Dr. Chase's Nerve Food revitallf.es the wasted nerve cells and instils new vitality into the optic nerve, as well a.; the other nerves of tbe ">ody. Headache is not merely relieved, but the cause is removed. Sight Improves, and instead.of the annoyance aud makeshift practice of wearing glasses, tie- eyes a.e strengthened and the general health improved in every way.

Bltuml, 'its coal, when broken up for use, weighs about 50 pounds. The consequent rule for the approximate measurement of coal in a bin or box is to multiply ihe length in feet by the height iu feet and again by the breadth in feet, and this result by 54 for anthracite coal, or by 50 for bituminous coal. The result will equal the number of ton3 divided by 2000. IF CATARRH KEEPS YOU HAWKING USE "CATARRHOZONEw-THE QUICKEST CURE Nothing Known So Sure for Throat Weakness, Bronchial Trouble, Etc.

"And who do you tbink I am?" hissed Mr. Bowser as he thrust his chin forward and prepared for battle.

"Say," he called to tho restaurateur, "that feller ain't no tramp I He don't have to shovel snow to git a meall" "Then who in blazes Is he?" "He's old Bowser, wbo lives up on First place. He's wenrin' them duds because he's got a new fud." He Sends a Telegram. Mr. Bowser left the house at 8;30. At 9:15 Mrs. Bowser received a telegram, reading: "Have fried chicken, corn fritters and sweet potatoes for dinner tonight!" Half an hour later came another, reading: "Have oyster soup, nave boiled onions. Have rice pudding." Then Mr. Bowser rested for an boui and sent tho following: "Have dinner half an bpur ahead ot (he usual time. Have two fried chickens. Have ice cream and raisins and nuts for dessert Spare uo cxpeuss whatever." Thero was one more telegram.

To anyone who Btops to consider for a moment It will be obvious that tbe position of Parliamentary reporter la one of no small responsibility, it Is upon him that we depend for , an accurate account of the speeches,, weighty and otherwise, made in the various Houses of Commons in the Empire, and to him we are Indebted for ihe general Parliamentary nows which we are accustomed to find on our breakfast 'able every morning. "The Caller} man," aa be ls termed ; In newspaper circles, Is tbe Parliamentary chronicler for the people, i and from his seat above the Speaker's chair he dally watches the legislative drama and faithfully records tho doings of our M.P.'s. In Great Britain tbe Press Gallery Is a highly organized machine. Kach seat In the Press (lallery la carefully allotted to the representa- tlvca of the different newspapers. "The central place Immediately above the Speaker's Chair Is reserved for ,the representative of The Times' chief of staff, who haB on bis left The Times' reportor and bis right The Dally Telegraph. Next to The Times' reporter ls The Times' summary writer, for the first newspaper In the kingdom enjoys the privilege of three representatives In tbe gallery. Many of the papers, however, depend on the press agencies for tbelr Parliamentary reports, and doTiot send representatives," says Mr. J. D. Symon, In "The Press and Its Story." "The reporters are organized In gallery.corps of from three to sixteen members each, all expert stenographers." The work ot each reporter in the House is governed by certain Instructions relating to the space which can be afforded In the paper which hs represents to the speeches of tho various members. These Instructions run something like this: "Asqulth, 1st person, fully. Churchill, 1st person, cut down. Bonar Law, fully. Cecil 3rd person, good summary. Kemain- der of debate must be kept to lines." On great historic occasions the etaff of representatives is considerably augmented. For instance, on the memorable April 8th, 188(i, when Mr. Gladstone introduced his Home Ilule Bill, nearly every paper had sent out the Instruction, "Gladstone, 1st person, verbatim." On some papers ! nearly twenty reporters were requlr- ] ed, working in relays of three, Ave, j sr ten-mlnute "takes." Much depends, of course, on what i debate ls going on as to whether a reporter has a busy time or not, and If there is little o* importance happening he has a welcome period of leisure whlcb he may spend in the smoking-room, tea-room, or dining- room. But if his notebook is full he goes to'one ot the writing-mt rooms provided for gallerymen, where he prepares his "copy" for the press. ! Nor are his duties merely tbe task of slavish reporting, for, us Mr. Symon points out, "a certain amount of discretion ls exercised, and hon. i members ow . a great deal to tho j reporter, for ln the haste and ner- | vousncs8 of public delivery not every i period is rounded lo a full close. Minor indiscretions of speech, too, j are often kindly veiled and modified I by the recording angel." ' Dungeons To Be Opened. Visitors to tho Tower ot London I after the New Year will have au opportunity of viewing the Tower dungeons beneath the White Tower and the Bloody Tower, cells as deep as tho moat Itself. Although it is nearly forty years ngo since the Tower was thrown open, these dungeons have never been available to visitors. The Office of Works, however, somo time ago decided to clear them out and throw them open to the public. Furthermore, a large part of the Bloody Tower, hitherto used as quarters for Borne of the othclals, will be opened, and the scene of the murder of the little princes will be sure lo attract a large number of people. It might be mentioned thut at present thB tablet which marks the spot where the bones were found in the Whl',3 Tower Is covered over wltb a notice board prohibiting Binoklug. Model of Politeness. Sir Ernest Shacklcton tolls' of an amusing incident which occurred during his famous expedition to the Antarctic. The greatest politeness was always exhibited by a certain I professor, who was a member of the 1 expedition, even in the most trying circumstances. One night the professor called out to a colleague: "Are you busy, Maw- son?" "I am," said Mawson. I "Very busy?" asked the professor. I "Yes, very busy." "If you are uot too busy, Mawson, i am down a crevasse." The polite professor was discovered banging dowu a crevasse by his four fingers, a dangerous position which he could not have maintained for any appreciable length of time. Too Energetic. Two salesmen st a Melbourne tat- lor's shop were each fined 40 shillings for pulling a youth who passed into tho establishment and measuring him against bis will for a suit of clothes. Donkeys.

Ica bae carefully extracted the polnte from two erstwhile excellent stories, tho first, ascribed to Adele llitcM eï¿½ï¿½ who, wben asked once if sbo bad ever been in Knnsas City, replied, "I cant just remember, but I will look among iny towels and sec," and the second (ho moro pathetic narrative of the young man who was obliged to break vtf his engagement because as he lefi tho dining room of a largo hotel wltfe his fiancee a number ot forks and spoons fell from the sleeves of lee gown, for the house detectives hive devised a "system" whereby tbe mu nr woman wbo wants to take a souvenir from a big hotel finds her path beï¿½ï¿½ set wltb almost Insurmountable d_a_ en 1 ties. Tbe matter ls carried on with the greatest artfulness. There are ne "hurt feelings," no bones broken, _t arrests made. Tho house detectives simply extract the unrightfully attached articles aa painlessly as they extract the polnte from old stories, and In the great mï¿½ï¿½ Jorlty of cases the frustrated "borrow, er" never knows at all what happened to bim. First the detective Is provided with a completo list of everything which le owned by the hotelï¿½ï¿½ï¿½every particle ol i linen, silver, sonp, etc. Then he del* gates tho responsibility for tbe care of them lo viftious bead waiters, waiters, housekeepers nnd chambermaids. | Then he gets a list each day of new nrrhals and of those wbo having rea niained a few days are preparing te leave. From these lists of occupied rooms the detective calculates the areas where trouble might posslblj brew nnd into these he goes with kie subdivided lists und n checking up book. Tho chambermaid Is required to give nn '/tact nccounllnp of every piece ol linen sho has suppl ed to the man ot woman who Is aboul to leave. This Is In turn taken to the limdvles, where ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ balance Is mnde of t use sheets, towels, etc.. which have ' 'me out of each room. If there Is a -rccise balance the matter ends there, nt woe to the w_ man who believes * nt the towels she pined carefully in her locked trunk will not be "missed. " Her trunks nnd l 'gs on their way downstairs are slm ly carried to the basement floor as if by chance, and thero the house detective, with tbe aid of a skeleton key, goes through them in search of lost hotel linen. It Is very gently removed and cheeked up on tbo Housemaid's list, and the trunk Is carefully repacked and re- locked. Nothing ls left to give wan. Ing thnt the search has been made, and nothing Is ever by nny remoteet chance said to the departing guest. Sbe is scut cheerily on her way re> joic'ug and Is usually perplexed out ol nil reason to account for . . fact that the towels and pillow cases thnt the knows well sbe put Into her trunk have mysteriously disappeared. Do you suppose for a moment that this Is an extreme case nor even ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ rare one? It happens ou nn average onee n day In every large hotel la New York und with almost as astounding frequency In Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago. And In the ease of silverware the matter Is almost as simple, though remedying these thefts requires taking Into your confidence nt least tho man who pays (he bill, for every#walter haa Im . bis eye (rained to count up the sib ycrwnreï¿½ï¿½>wlillo ho Is placing the linger bowls, nnd If so much r ono small spoon Is not where It should be It tt unostentatiously placed upon tho bllL The hotel graciously leaves It lo the discretion of (lie escort ns to whether or not tbe culprit shall bo told.

The 21st versa i t ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ ius, "But lie spaki ot the temple ot his 1 ody." I cannot see this has reference ton change of the Sabbath. 1 never found a text in Scripture, where Christ abrogated or repealed the law "I God, On ths contrary, Christ >aid I delight to do thy will t> my God, thy law is within my heart, and he has promisedto ui e n new covenant witli his people by writing his Urns in their hearts, so he will write this identical law which was written in his heart, iu our hearts, if we desire bim to do so. 1 know there will be no change made by him, in writing; that law in our hearts, for In said in 'ns sermon on the mount in Matthew 5:17 J (five seventeen to twenty.) "Think not that I am come to dcstro the L_w etc, hn verily I say unto yen, till Heaven and l_r.li pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the haw. Whosoever therefore break one of the. Commandments and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least iu the King-! clom of Heaven, but whosoever shall do and teach them, shall be called great" Now dear "Subscriber," i undi island by this Sermon un the Mou'H, that Christ referred to the Ten Commandments, the 1. w of Cod which were written ou stone, with God's own finger. Christ says as long as Heaven and l_rth last, nut one jot or tittleshall pass irom the-1.aw. Tims we see it was not with Christ's consent orapproval, the Seventh day Sabbath was changed to the iir-,t or Sunflay. Christ wns in the Pillar of Cloud by day, and the 1'illar ot Fire by night, leading the Israelites, seeKxodous 13:21, Then read _xodous loth chapter, and see how particular he was in teaching them how to observe the Seventh day Sabbath, For forty years he gave them an object lesson in giving manna. These lessons are for u&; we knuw Cod is unchangeable. Now let ns consider Acts 20:7-8, Before proceeding, 1 ask you, (has a meeting of disciples, preaching by Paul, and even if they partook of the ilvord's Supper, constitute a sufficient reason l'or human beings, to change the strict commandment of t.od, who is the Supreme Ruler of the Universe? We read in the seventh verse "they broke bread," also in the eleventh verse "they broke bread again," I request you to he candid, do you believe they partook of the t.ord's Supper twice in one night. 1 believe they brake bread as we do in paratking of our meals. 1 believe St. t__e was the writer of Acts, and be calls the first day a week day, he did not say ou the new Sabbath; ouly on the lirst day of the week, showing he did not believe it was the Sabbath. If you notice the Bible counts time from sunset. So a day ends at sunset, ami the next day commences. See the lirst chapter of Genesis, God says the evening and the morning i/ere the first day. lie counts the dark and daylight as one day. Jt was thus counted in Paul's time. The Seventh Day Sabbath closed at sunset, aud then the lirst day of the week began. Now read the 7th and 8th. While Paul remained preaching i the beginning of the lirst day of the week, we would call it now, Saturday evening, .till midnight, and there were many lights there, Wnile Paul remained, the Disciples including I.uke sailed around' the peninsula (which extends into the Agean Sea J to Assoss, there intending to take in Paul as be appointed: minding himself to go afoot. Paul walked across the peninsula S mday morning, a distance of 18 miles, while the disciples sailed around, which would be too far for a Sabbath day's jouruey, which proves they did not regard it as the Sabbath. Now considering 1st Cor. 19:1 and 2, This shows Paul advised them to look over the transactions or book accounts of the]) ist week and give as God hath prospered them. This work would be wrong to do on the Sabbath. The 7th day is called lhe hord's Day. See J__ chiel 20:10,20. Isiah 58:13,14, The man of sin thinks to change God's time, and laws, see 2nd Thess. 2:,J>,4 and Dan iel 7:25. Please consider these texts.

C. "Tho Failure of Capitlaism" Dear Editor:ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½When British Columbia to-day is feeling the effects of the coal strikers and other countries are passing through a period of industrial unrest, the following passage by Colonel Henry Pilkington ih the Louden Times under the above heading, will be of interest to your readers. He writes:ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ It is pretty clear thnt the old industrial system which its enemies call "Capitalism," is going to be broken down in many places, it i.s undeniably open to objection thatï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ to put it gentlyï¿½ï¿½ï¿½it admits of the exploitation of labour by capital, There are two complete theories, and only two, for replacing it and organizing industry so that labour may employ capital instead of capital employing labor. They are the theories of .State Socialism aud Co-Operation. Between them, I believe, lies the ouly choice. Botli systems combine the re- sources of the community for wealth production. But .State Socialism would make the wealth produce the property of the community, while Co-Operation allows it to be owned by individuals. It appears to me that those who are opposed to Socialism should throw themselves into the work of the Co-Operative organization instead of making futile efforts to bolster up a system which it is certain modem democracy will not much longer tolerate.

Dear Sir:ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ I believe commercial travellers understand hotel conditions better than any class of people. One of the best known travellers in Western Ontario spoke uot very lot g ag > as follows:ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ "Every three weeks I cover fifty- one town t in Western Ontario, and cf these, thirty-eight are dry. In each case, with perhaps oue or two exceptions, the hottl accomodation in these dry towns is better than befcre the Local Option by-law came into forcej In no plac: w'th- out exception, are ccuditious wot se "I would like .o take you to Southampton so you could s.e how pleased the boys are to get into this town. The Comineic.al Hotel provides particularly good accomodation. Another case is Creemore. Here in the Mansion House, I believe we travellers find thej best accomodation that can be got iu any town of one thousand anywhere iu Canada. "Shelbume is another town The Royal Hotel here for many years gave fair accommodation, but now since Local Option came into force, it is a revelation to travelers as to what accommodation can be furnished. "At the Queens Hotel in Orange- ville conditions are very much better than they were before the by-law came into force. At Flest erton the Munshaw House ha always giveu good accommodmtio and still continues to do so, thong the bur is cut off. In Durham|an Bolton conditions have greatly itt proved for the traveler's comfoi since the towns become dry. "Then again, I want to spea particularly of Owen Sound and t say a good word for the Seldo House, This is one of the brigl spots on the road for us. It is delight to go there. I knew th town well under the old licens conditions, and it is certainly muc improved since Local Optioo can into force." I have statements from tl mayors of Southampton, Shelbun Creemore and thev. all agree wil this commercial traveler in sayit that conditions are much improvi under Local Option. The May of Owen Sound says everything good there, but does net know he things might be if they had be under license. Some of us are hoping that B. may lead the Dominion and tl Courtenay may lead B. C. in t crusade against drink. It wot bring unspeakable gain to our to iu many ways if Courtenay shoi become known as the Prerc Town of B. C. Local Option, *?

Tenuis has again started at the Elk Hotel, Mr. Barlow, (I.orne Hotel) is having some structural alterations made to his Hotel. One of our citizens here is elaborating a scheme for cutting blocks of ice out of the glacier, and delivering them to customers by means of a wire cable. This is not a hot air scheme, Mr. Editor, and I think could be most successfully negotiated by means of a flying machine. Ice cream would then be within reach of everyone. Storekeeper London, is most enthusiastic about the scheme- H. J. I. Beadnell and family, are expected back from England He will take possession of his ranch on Nob Hill, lately owned by C. Piercy. There is no necsssitv to buy canned berries now. Rev. Frank-Watson is leaving Cumberland on Wednesday, . to take charge of the English church here. Lazo, Denman and Hornby Is. will also be in his district. He has rented the house on the ranch ofJ.C. Moore till the proproSed vicarage is built here. Percy Smith has located another spot for growing potatoes, says his home is anywhere in the universe where he can grow taters successfully. J. C. Hoiles is leaving his late residence for Nob Hill, lately occupied by G. H. Wood. Jack says he likes to be near Salt Chuck, altho1 no one is allowed to catch herring. Have you seen the red car with the car wheels? Soncone said it was a racer. Jack Hardy says "General" can travel pretty good. Mr. and Mrs. J. McKenzie and Willie returned by S. S. Charmer.

Burton attended to the matter thoroughly, Tho 1 o'olooli edition of an afternoon paper contained o short and vivid scarlet necoiinl of Miss .lane's disappearance. The evening editions wero full, and while vague as to the manner of her leaving, were minute (as regarded her personal appearance and characteristics, To escape the threatened inundation of the morning paper men, i left the office early, ant. ut I o'alo.lt Margery and 1 stepped from a bill ear into l1io pari;. 1 wish some one depended on me, she said pensively. It's a terrible thing to feel t .i it doesn't, matter to i.ny onoï¿½ï¿½ï¿½nol. vitally, anyhovï¿½ï¿½ï¿½whether one Is around or not. To have all ray responsibilities laltcn away at once and .lust to drift around like thisï¿½ï¿½ï¿½oh, It's dreadful. Besides my father, there wns only one person In the world who cared about me, and J don't Know where sho is. Dear Aunt .lane! The sunlight caught the ring on her engagement, tinner, and she flushed suddenly as she saw me looking at it. Wo sat there for a while saying nothing. Tlio long May afternoon was coming to a close. Tho paths began to llll with long lines of hurrying home-scotters, (.hoi.- day in ofiice or factory at an nnd. Then impulsively she hel.1 out her band to mo. Vou have been more than hind to mo, she said hurriedly. You have taken nie into your homeï¿½ï¿½ï¿½and helped me through these dreadful daysï¿½ï¿½ï¿½and I will never forget it. Never! I am not virtuous, I replied, look- ling down at her. I couldn't help it. You walked into my life when you came to my officeï¿½ï¿½ï¿½was It only last. week? The evil days are' coining. I suppose, but just now nothing matters at all, save that you are you, and I am I. She dropped her veil quickly, and wo went back |0 the car. The prosaic world wrapped us around again. Tlicre was a heavy odor of restaurant coffee in the air. I'eople bumped and jolted j past us. To me they were only shadows. The real world wao a girl In iblack and myself, and tlio girl wore a betrotliel ring which was not mine. Mrs. Untie came down to dinner that nirlit.- She was moro cheerful than I had yet seen iter, an'. alio had changed he.r mourning garments to something a trifle less depressing. With her masses of hair dressed high and her face slightly animated, 1 realized what, I liad not done before, that she was the wreck of a very beautiful woman. She used a cane when she walked, and after dinner in tlie library she was content to sit impassive, detached, propped with cushions, whil. Margery read to the boys In their night nursery and Edith embroidered. Fred had been fussing over a play for some time, and he had gone to read it to somo manager or other. Edith already was spe.iding the royalties. We could go a little ways out of town, siie was saying, and _a could have an automobile. Margery says theirs will bo sold, and certainly it will be a bargain. Near me Mrs. Butler ha.', languidly taken up the paper. Suddenly she dropped if, and wl en 1 stooped anJ picked it up 1 noticed she wns trembling. ls il Irue? she demanded. ls Robert Clarkson dead? Yes, 1 assented. He has been dead since Sunday morn'ngï¿½ï¿½ï¿½a suicide. I'm glad, glad, silo said. Then she grew weak and semi-hysterical, laughing and crying in the sain.: breath. When she had been hclpejl upstairsï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ f t In her weakened state it had been moro of a shock than wo realized ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ Margery came down, and we tried to forget tho scene we had just gone through, it wns strange lo contrast tho way in which thu tw i women took their similar bereavements. .Margery represented tho best type of normal American womanhood, Ellen Butler the neurasthenic, she demanded everything by her very helplessness and timidity. Sho was a constant drain on Edith's ready sympathy. That night while I closed the houseï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Fred liad not como Inï¿½ï¿½ï¿½I advised iter to let Mrs. Butler go back to her sanatorium. At 12.30 1 was still downstairs. Fred was out, and I waited for him, being curious to know the verdict on the play. The bell rang a few minutes before 1 and I went to the door.

It would be interesting also to know how much money has been used that should have been used for the necessaries of life- that has beeu spent for less than nothing.
