All loyal Canadians who are. con- i versant with the subject will at once say “Brantford,” having in mind the ; fact that though living in Boston, Dr. | Beli at the’ time used to spend his , holidays at the Ontarig city, experi- meniing the while. ' The American claim is set.forwara { | Telephone and Telegraph Company in the words: | “In 1876 the .first sentence was , heard over the telephone in Boston; the first outside place between Cambridge and Bos- ; ton; and the first long-distance mes- | sage was. sent between Salem and | Boston.” Dr. Bell’s : own statement, which ought to be final: evidence ‘gives Brantford the honor, however. His | words at that city in 1917, when the /-Bell. memorial was unveiled, includ- ed these statements: “The Brantford in-1874 and born in Bos- ton in 1875. ‘The first time that the instruments were placed miles apart successfully transmitted was here in Brantford, August. 10th, 1876. The transmitter was: placed in Brantford, tlie receiving was placed in Paris was in Toronto. : E Thus three Ontario cities share the honor of giying to the world the first telephone speech.

Rule. — Built in England During the War But Were Never Used The mystery of two huge towers, built on the south coast of England during the war and ‘never used, has been cleared up. The towers, 80 feet high and built at.a cost of approximately $5,000,000 each, were ta be the forerunners. of many similar ones. for the defence of the English Channel. They were to be towed out, to sea and strung together across. the Straits of Dover, Inked together at distances of a few hundred yards with nets and heavily fortified’ with guns. In the top of each a. powerful searchlight was to be placed. The armistice, however; made. it un- necessary to continue the scheme and the towers were, anchored off Shore- ham for some years. One has been broken up and the other is used as a lightship off Spithead. AGOOD MEDICINE = FOR SPRING TIME Do Not. Use Harsh Purgatives— —A Tonic is All You Need “Not sick—but not feeling quite well. That is the way most people feel’in the spring. Easily tired,. ap- petite fickle, sometimes headaches. and a feeling of dépression. Pimples or eruptions may appear on the skin, or there may be twinges of. rheuma- tism or neuralgia. -Any of these in- dica'e that the blood is out of order— that: the indoor life of. winter has left its mark. upon you and may easily develop into more serious trouble. Do not dose yourself with purga- tives, as many people do, in the hope that you can’ put your blood right. Purgatives gallop. through the system and weaken instead ‘of - giving strength. Any doctor will tell .you this is true. What you need in tha spring is a tonic that will. enrich. the blood and build up the nerves. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills do this speedily and surely. Every dose of this medi- cine helps to enrich the blood which clears the skin, strengthens the appe- tite and makes tired, depressed men, women and children active. and strong. Mr. James Dickson, West- neath, Ont., says:—"I was. quite. bad- Ty run down, easily tired, and appe- tite poor. My blood seemed thin and watery. I decided to try. Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills, and after taking a few boxes I felt. myself thoroughly built_up and as strong as ever. I can recommend the pills to - run-down people.” You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 60 cents a box from The Dr.. Williams’ Brockville, Ont. “According to. Sir W.. Arbuthnot. Lane noted British surgeon, fair-hair- ed persons are more. able to fight against disease than dark-haired ones. The idea. that a man is as old as his birthdafs is-one that ‘is fast dis- appearing. There are too many emi- nent men beyond the psalmisi’s span to hold to such:a principle. Birthdays, alone, are.poor way to judge a man or @ woman. Many men of ripe years are .also of ripe intellect and judg- ment, while many men and women never reach that stage. It is suggested that judges be com- pulsorily -re‘ired when they have reached the age of seventy-five years. That does not seem to be a good rule. A judge, particularly may have gain- ed a wide outlook in his service which would be missed on the bench: The worms that infest children from their birth are of two kinds, those that find lodgement in the stomacn and those that are found in the in- teslines. The latter are the most des- tructive, as they cling to the walls ot the intestines and if mot interfered with work havoc there. Miller’s Worm Powders dislodge both kinds ana while expelling them from the system serve to repair the damage they have caused, Little Helps For This Week If ye: Tove. Me, keep “My command- : ments—John xiv. 15. Do as thou woulldst be done unto; Love God, and love thy neighbor; watch and pray. These are the words and works of life; this do, And live;. who doth not this hath lost heav'n'’s ‘way. —Henry Vaughan. * When a man fs told that the whole of religion and morality is summed up in the two cemmandments,—to love God and to love our neighbor, he is ready to cry, like Charaba in Gebir, at the first sight of the sea, “Is this the mighty ocean? Is this all?” Yes, Hl; but how small a part of it do your eyes survey! Only trust yourself to it, launch out upon it sail abroad over it, you will find it has no end; it will carry you round the. world. s —Julius Hare.
