Dysentery corrodes the intestines and speedily eats away the lining, bringing about dangerous conditions that may cairse death, Or, J. I). Kellogg's Dysentery Cordial clears the Intestinal canals of the germs that cause the Inflammation, and by protecting the lining from further ravages restores them to healthy condition. Those subject to dysentery should not he without this simple- yet powerful remedy. Nearly all the diseases that afflict humanity are caused hy bad blood- weak, watery blood poisoned by''Impurities. Had blood is the cause of headaches and, backaches, lumbago and rheumatism; debility and indigestion, neuralgia and other nerve troubles, and disfiguring skin diseases like eczema and salt rheum show- how Impure the blood actually is. No use trying a different remedy for each disease, because they all spring from the one cause���bad blood. To cure any of these troubles you must get right down to the root of the trouble in the blood, and that is just what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do. They ���make new, rich blood and thus cure these diseases when common medicine falls. Mrs. John Jackson, Woodstock, Ont., suffered from both nervous troiiljles and a run down condition and experienced a complete euro through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She says: "I was a sufferer for a number of years from neuralgia, and a general debility of the nerves and system. I had tried several doctors and many medicines out to no avail until I began Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. At the time I began the Pills I had grown so bad that I could hardly be on my feet and was forced to wear elastic bandages about the ankles. The pain 1 suffered at times from the neuralgia was terrible. I had almost given up hope when I began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In tbe course of a few weeks I felt an Improvement, and I gladly continued Hie use of the Pills until I was once more quite well and able to attend to all my household duties."

How Much of Your Road Money is Spent in Filling Ruts? TF the millions of dollars that have been spent repairing worn- out, washed-out streets and roads had been used to build more miles of good highways, fewer farmers would now be wasting valuable time and money taking "round-about" routes to town. UlRST cost of an ordinary dirt or macadam road is usua'ly only a "starter." The cost of upkeep soon equals that first cost and then: is always an ever-inci casing annual expense for repairs. The worst feature of it is that such a road is never a really first-class highway. TN estimating the cost of a road you should include the cx- pense of keeping it in good condition for at least twenty years. If you don't, you're figuring on the first payment for that road, only. And the remaining payments are as certain as taxes. The upkeep cost of concrete roads is practically nothing. Concrete roads are the best roads from the first - and the best and cheapest roads at the end of ten, fifteen and twenty years. fONCKETE ii the ideal paving material for streets in small towns as ^ well as for main highways in the country.

Rochefnrt has long | since cast aside, these murks which mean only the guinea's stamp and I holds that "the ma.'s a man lor a' that." Seventy years ago he used to sit at the Paris cafes with his father, ths Marquis de Rochefort, a worthy gentleman who was fond of the theatre and wrote plays. In spite ol the high- sounding title, the lamily was poor, and a few years later young Roche- fori was gls- to accept a small clerkship lor twenty dollars a month in the city hall. Hut lie wns furtively writing" lor the newspapers and soon discovered where his real talent lay. Then began a Journalist!.! career the like ol which had hitherto been unknown. It brought, terror to those men in power wiiose remedies were repression, imprisonment, and exile. Henri Roohefort founded a new journalism. He invariably tacks an epithet to ' B opponent. He labels him in a way which catches the public lancy and lir��s the imagination ol the multitude. For Rochefort always writes lor the people, though frequently ho writes not of the people. -The former Minister of War, General Andre, he dubbed! "Ihe old drunkard"; Chief Rabbi Kahn was "tlie old syna- gognrdian"; the late President Felix Faure was "our national tanner"; Napoleon the Third's Prime Minister. Emile Olllvler, was "the old ' crocodile"; President Falliereg i* "our national wine grower"; former Premjcr Combes' son was "Edgar ol the Moulin Rouge"; General Piequurt was "our piano-playing War Minister," and t forth. He never changed this style when dealing with political and kindred questions. Always picturesque, when Rochefort wrote on subjects other than politics and crime he showed sin/ular taste and culture. His articles on art wn of great value. He is one of the best living authorities on the subject. In days gone by his delight used to be to discover artistic talent, and v. ��n he could to buy a picture ol some struggling painter. But his pen was mostly steeped in political gall, end his place in journalism is that of the greatest polemist of the French ���nf! perhaps ol any other press. In his early days Rochclort used to write lor the lar-famed Figaro, then and fy a long time the onlyiFrench newspaper known outside ol France. .Though the journalistic upheaval iarising Irom the Dreylus agitation .severely hurt the Figar- Rochelort 'returned to it* columns not many | .years ago. but not with political | articles.

Besides this, the ruins of tbe winter settle tlie soil tlnnly around tbe roots of the trees, an that they are ready to begin growth In spring al tbe earliest opportunity. Full planting should not be begun too early. The leaves should be off. True, they can lie stripped by baud, and tills In not it few ruse* Is done too soon In crowding times. The leaves should tie left until by their beginning to full it Is seen that their important and life giving work Is over Their beginning to fall shows this, and any leaves that remain can Hieii be taken on*-will come off easily���aud the trees can be dug. This I* usually about the beginning ot November, aud the pluming may continue ua long aa thn ground Is not fror.en.

The covering of the roots In Ihe trench should be with the stems of the trees Inclining It in angle of about 4."> degrees toward the surface of the ground. In some cases It may be necessary to leave the treea In the trench until spring, and this will be successful If tbe work la well done. The trench should be at least eighteen Inches deep and the soil well worked In among Ibe roots, and after i good rain or two more soil should he thrown on. milking the carta above the roots rounding nnd n foot or ���o above tbe surface of the ground.

In a letter quoted by The I.nniton Times, Vilhjalmur Stefaiiseon, who has I been exploring Arctic Canada, says: "There are two ways of treating (lis- ! eases or injuries among the Kogmol- liks (Hersehel Island to Parry). These are: (1) Blood letting (apparently re- ferred to hy botne writers as 'counter irritation') and (2) uiagio. Ill regard lo the latter there are certain men in the community known as doctors. Their treatment is hy songs and dances, with sometimes a sieight-nl- hand trick or two;, and neither the invalid nor the audience take any active part. The details are somewhat complicated, and I have jsoun no performance bo far. Aftur the performance the doctor is paid���in the old days the lee went as high as two to three whaling uniults (big skin boats). If the invalid is pour everybody gives the doctor something ��� a fox-skin, spear, hag of oil, or other things of value. If the man treated dies within the year his wife or children get tho fee back���under other conditions the fee is retained. It would, seem that little progress is being made, by the religious workers among the Kogtuolliks. hut in the matter of secular instruction it is different.

Princess Mary, who is at present paying a visit with the Queen In the Dowaeer Grand Duchess nl Meehl*n< hiirg-SlrolIU, ut Neti Strellts, a prstty oliMMshicittcl little town, some sixty miles from Berlin, is having her tir.-t taste of Continental life���pari of the noeessary arduous preparation for a throne. For al! the young members of ths British Royal Family the upbringing is at all time's of the most exacting character, but ns ihe only daughter of the King, particular cure has been taken lhat Princess M.try should be equipped as liellts an Kueli-h princess. Queen Mary, knowing the responsibilities of queeilslllp, is aware that ll.e education of her daughter, who will probably on" day liil a European throne, is too vital for any mistakes to he made, and in consequence Princes^ Mary's career has been mapped out wit.i painstaking care. Princess Mary began her schooling nt. the age of four togeth r with her brothers in the roytri schoolroom. This continued up till three years ago. when th ��� question was discussed whether Princess Mary should go to boarding- school; but It was ..tliinll-.-. decided that it would he best for her'to con- tinu" her studies nt home under special, tutors. Like her brothers she has been brought up from infancy to 'peak French and German, and. in addition she has a very good knowledge ol Latin, Greek and Italian, It would scarcely lie imagined, however, that typewriting would enter into u royal curriculum, As a mntt'r ol fnct, Princess Mary has had lessons on a machine, and is now an expert typist. This last little item of education was an idea of her own. She was, very anxious to assist the Queen in attending to the huge batches of correspon- deuce which reach thc-royal residences eacli day, and it is now said that not only the Queen, but King George also, dictates private letters for his daughter to type. As everyone knows, Queen Mary is a great lover ot home life, and in pursuance of this fondness has brought, her daughter up to u practical knowledge of ail domestic affairs, which ".re necessary for the proper personal control of a household. The young princess has been taught needlework, and is quite proficient in tho art. of cooking. Iti addition, Princess Mary is a vi-rv lair all-round sportswoman; atvi. although angling is one of her favorite outdoor pastimes, she also follows the hounds and can handle a gun. In short, although her royal highness is necessarily restricted in he! actions, she is always very happy, and well fitted for the great part slu is destined to play in years to come.

Perkin, who is known in Middlesex as the "Squire of Green- lord," has just retired after being Master of the Greenlord Draghouuds for a quarter of a century. Drag- hunting, as described by Mr. Perkin, is a lancinating sport, and it is surprising tint it does not become more popular. "I formed the Greenlord Draghuut in 1885. nnd it wis limited to twenty- five members, most ol whom were Middlesex farmers. We used to meet weekly, and hunted through the Harrow, _. Hendon, Beacousfleld, and Slough districts. In addition to this we held once i year i Point-to-Point meeting at my place at Grceuford Green.

Iloni'.N, liditor and Proprietor Subscription 11.80 per Year in Advance THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1913 PEN PVIN'I'EHS There are a large number of enquiries from Victoria and other places about Courtenay', 83 a place of residence. To one and all we would say there's no better place on earth���fine climate, good fishing, hunting and boating and fer. tile land���what more do you want. What are You Going to Do About It? Courtenay, with its new sidewalks and buildings going up in all directions is indeed growing and must continue to do so. The greatest need at the present moment is a Board of Trade, to voice the needs of the District, in view of the opening of the Panama Canal. The Dominion Government are wise in their policy to appropriate the millions they propose doing for docks and wharves at Victoria, to say nothing of Vancouver. Hut, what is their program for other places on the Island, where the necessity for such is as great, but in a smaller ratio. The "Victoria Colonist" ol the 8th instant, invites the people to say, "What they are going to do about it?" This Comox District, the largest population on tlie Island, outside of Victoria, the agricultural area the largest and best, the possibilities of manufacturing industries, on account of the raw 'products being right here, greater even than Victoria. The old country manufacturers are copying the Germans who have found out that instead of crowding their employees in skyscrapers in congested cities they can get better results and give better satisfaction to the employees by locating the factories in the country where land is cheap and the employees besides getting the necessary amount of sunshine and fresh air in the work rooms to keep them in good health and spirits for their work, thev can get a nice cheap home and a garden, sufficient to grow all the vegetables and fruit they want, and lastly, but not least, for the young and single ones all the social enjoyments of a city can be got, on a smaller scale. To accomplish this, and bring the thousands into the District, when the canal opens we must have water transportation, in addition to the rail. Those who have not travelled the world aud seen for themselves will be blind in their own interests, if they think for one moment that because of tlie C. P.R. and C. N. R., even if these companies ran at their very back door, we oan do without water transportation, which- is cheaper than the rail. A means must be found in this far west to reduce excessively high rail freights, and the one chief essential to do this is for the Dominion government to provide wharfage accomodation, where there is a need of such. In these parts, where railwav freights will be new to us. we must not forget that in the Old Country the rail rates from water competitive points are cheaper than from noncompetitive points, and while we shall welcome the railways, which we expect will run through this Comox Valley this year. We hope, if they wish to load their freight cars to the fullest capacity, they will fix their rates at the price at which the most favorably placed carrier can afford to do the work which so far is undoubtedly the water carrier. the retailer and the consumer. The farmer is enjoined, among other things, to remove the male bird immediately after the breeding season aud market no fertile eggs, to provide roomy nests nnd plenty of clean nesting material, to collect eggs at least once, better twice, a day in nuxlerate weather and more frequently in very warm and very cold weather and to remove them at once iu clean utensilsto a cool dry cellar, to cover with a clean cloth to prevent dust from settling upon them and also to prevent evaporation and fading, to market them in suitable cases as frequently aud as directly as possible The suggestions offered to merchants, buyers, transportation companies and others are equally specific and practical. The hotel at Okanagan Falls will be enlarged in the spring. ������������������MM �����������������������������������������>��������������������������������] Notice Jn the matin of the Estate of Ih: Dillon, deceased ��� NOTIt'Kis hereby given that all parties having ulainiH against the said estate are requested to Head particulars o, same to me on >..r i.efore thu 15th day of February 11113, and all parties indebted to the said estate are re. <|tieMted to pay such iiiilebtedueHH to me forthwith.

Care of Market Eggs By direction of the Hon. Martin Hurrell, Minister of Agriculture, a timely bulletin on the care of market eggs has been issued from Ottawa.

Physicians know this to be true, as one from the South writes: "I have cured myself of a long-standing case of Nervous Dyspepsia by leaving off coffee ami using Postum," says the doctor. "I also enjoy refreshing sleep, lo which I've been an ulte.r stranger for 20 years. "In treating dyspepsia In Its various ���types, I find little trouble when I can ini'luce patients to quit coffee and adopt Postum." The doctor is right and "there's a reason." Read the little book, "The Roud to Wellvllle," in pkgs. Postum now comes in concentrated powder form called Instant Postum. It ts prepared by stirring a level tea- spoonful in a cup of hot water, adding sugar to taste, and enough cream to bring the color to golden brown. Instant Postum is convenient; there's no waste; an.d the flavor Is always uniform. Sold by grocers��� 50-cup tin .in cts.. lOO-euti tin 50 e.ts.

New Light Thrown Upon the Mysterious Illness of the Little Ciarvllch The Czar's eight year old heir, his only Bon. Is recovering from his illness, but the mystery maintained by tho Russian court and police dally deepens, The report of an attempt on his life In the imperial yacht Standart is now given In Paris with circumstantial detail. The explanation of the admiral's suicide, followed hy the attempted suicide of a girl with whom he had relations, Is said to be that the girl, a revolutionary, used her Influence wllh the admiral to secure tho presence of a nihilist In the crew. The other conflicting accounts of the illness or accident of the czar's son ascribe It to a fall from a pony, or a bicycle, or a spar In the yacht, an accident In his bath, a hemorrhage, kidney disease, or peritonitis, in- tlamntlon of the membrane lining of the intestines. Tbe story accepted here as true Is that the prince was shot with a Browning pistol, and he owed his life to the fact that when he saw an Individual approaching with a pistol pointed at bin) bo attempted to escape. But his assailant wan too quick and as the startled boy turned to one side he fired ;.nd the bullet inflicted a deep wound in the lower part of the abdomen. In the confusion tho person who had fired slid down a rope over the side of the Standart and escaped cither in a boat or by swimming ashore He has succeeded In getting out of Russia. It was through his con fession that, the attempt became known outside court circles. Admiral Chagln was not on board the yacht when the prince was wounded. The role played by the girl student. Helen Soqoloff, who tried to commit, suicide after the admiral's suicide and to whom he left a sum of money in his will, is more serious than has been hinted at. and In view of hor responsibility In the matter It Is perhaps not surprising that she attempted her life. It. is necessary to recall that In 1882, the year following the assassination of tbe Czar Alexander II, by a bomb, a military revolutionary party was formed in St. Petersburg, with tranches at Cronstadt, Nlcolaleff, and Sebastopol. 11 had as Its chief Colonel Aschenbrcnner, with whom were associated Lieutenants Baron Strom- berg and Suchanoff. The famous-nihilist, Marie Vera Flgner, was also a member. Suchanoff. after being tried for complicity In a nihilist plot, was shot, and Marie Flgner and Colonel Aschenbrenner were condemned to death, but their sentences were commuted to twenty years' detention In a fortress. The military organization to which these revolutionaries belonged was disbanded, but It Is believed that it was recently re-formed. Helen So- koloff, wllh whom Admiral Chagln wns In love, is reported to have been one or its emissnrles. Thanks to her Influence with him, the unsuspecting officer was made use of to facilitate tbe access of revolutionaries to the imperial yacht, and the attempt on the czar's son was rendered possible. A Frenchman with a name spelled a la Paris and pronounced something like Oaohoo had never learned to read or write, hut he managed to disguise the fact pretty well until he moved to a new community, where the name was not common. Going to the post- office one morning, be enquired: Got. any mail for Joe Ca-ehoo. How do you spell it? Can't you spell Joe Ca-ehoo? No. sa.id the clerk. I never beard it before. Then tbe disgust of the Frenchman, boiled over, and he snorted: Weil, if you can't spell, why don't you sell your old postofllee to someone who can?

BALL, Manager SANDWICK A surprise party assembled at the rectory on. Wednesday evening Jan. 8, when the Rev. J. X. Willemar was presented with a purse of gold as a mark of appreciation and gratitude from his parishoners. Advancing years have necessitated a cessation of labor, aud after 41 years' ministry in Comox no one will question either the wisdom or the motive of Mr. Wille- mar's request to his Bishop to be relieved of his charge as soon as his successor could be found. I While the grand old veteran will remain at his post for a while there is every reason to suppose that his successor has been found. Comox will still retain him as he is about to build a house ou a portion of the, mission land by sanction of thei synod, and the church of St. Andrew, Sandwick, will have him as rector emeritus upon his retirement, that is to say he will be entitled to take his seat within the sanctuary or chancel at every service without any responsibility for conducting the services. Old- timers and newcomers alike participated in the presentation which was arranged by Mrs. Brydges, and only the dangerous state of the roads prevented a large number of the subscribers from being present. In accepting the presentation, Mr. Willemar expressed his gratitude aud appreciation on behalf of Mrs. Willemar and himself and gave many interesting reminiscences of the early days in Comox. General regret is felt at his retirement, and it is voiced on all sides. Miss Gibson returned to the Normal school at Vancouver by Sunday's boat. Mr. Michael Manson, M.P.P., paid a flying visit to Sandwick during his short stay inthe district before proceeding to Victoria for the session. In spite of the weather the rural delivery from Sandwick has not suffered. Mr. George winger managing to "wing his flight " well up to schedule time Mrs. James Parkin and Mr. Fred Parkin came up by the S. S. Cowichan on Sunday after a few days in Vancouver in the interests of the Corner store. Sixteen degrees of frost was recorded at Sandwick on Sunday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Janes returned by the Friday night boat, after a few days in Vancouver. W idespread regret is expressed at the illness of Mr. J. A. Halliday and everyone wishes him a speedy recovery.
