LUKES Ashburakam, Ontario, Testifies to the Good Qualities of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Ashbumham, Ont., April 18, 1908. —I think it Is only right that I should tell you what a wonderful effect Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has produced. The day before Easter I was so distressed witli a cold and cough that I did not think to be able to take any duties the next day, aa my voice was almost choked by the cough. The same day I received an order from you for a bottle of your Cough Remedy. lat once procured a sample bottle, and took about three doses of the medicine. To my great relief the cough and cold had com pletely disappeared and I was able to preach three times on Easter Day. I know that this rapid and effective cure was due to your Cough Remedy. I make this testmonial without solic itation, being tlkankful to have found such a God-sent remedy. Respectfully yours, E. A. Landfkldt, M. A. Rector of St. Luke's Church. To Chamberlain Medicine Co. This remedy is for sale by all drug gists. _ WOMEN IN MEDICINE. Thorn Ass Esw Fmu TtlWi Fir* ■u4r*4 F«mU Dnolnra la the United Mates. Striking ss has been the advenes of women in the medical profession of England, it has been even mors so la the United States. Twenty-five years ago, says the Young Woman, there were M 0 lady doctors in practice in the states; to day there are 4,500—0ne in 15,000 of the population. Among these are a few dis tinguished homeopathists, hospital physicians and surgeons, professors In medical schools, oculists and electro therapeutics, the great majority being ordinary doctors. The first lady doc tor in the world was an American wom an—Mias Elisabeth Blackwell, who was enrolled ss a physician in the Medical Register of January 1, 1849. One of America's most noted tody doctors, Marie E. Zaknewskm, was a native of Barilo, but she.bed to leave the German capital in consequence of tbs strong prejudice aroused against her. That was many years ago, and the lady doc tor is now tolerated even on the conti nent. Even the far east has ita lady doctors, the beat known among them being a Chinese lady, Dr. Hu King Eng. first, physician to the household of l.i Hung Chang. Dr. Eng Is a Christian and cornea of a wealthy family. She took her degree in the United States, and is now in charge of a hospital at Foo Chow. As to the earnings of the lady doctor, they vary, of course, very largely. There are women who count their income in thousands, and one lady practicing in the West end of London earns 820,000 a year. Miss Annie Jlom bsrger, of Philadelphia, has a practice worth $6,000 a year, and she ia one of many who earn as much. THE JAPANESS ARMY. Te Coastal af Throe Oapevut* aa4 la 4fa4sst Cnassnando mi Fees Divtoissa Beak. The Ostasiatiachc Lloyd states that at the end of the year the Japanese army will consist of three chief com mands, the east, the middle and the west, instead of the number of small in dependent commands which previously existed. This will be apart from the guards, who will still remain under the direct command of the mikado. Each chief command will consist of four di visions, making, with the division of guards, 13 divisions in all. The 13 di visions will consist of 26 brigades of in fantry, each brigade having two regi- each regiment three bot .taHons; 13 regiments of cavalry, of five squadrons each; 13 regiments of field artillery, with 79 field end mounted but teries, these to be strengthened next year to UT batteries, formed in 39 groups of three butteries each; 13 bat talions of pioneers, consisting of 28 companies, to ho increased later to 39 sowponies; 13 train battalions, of two companies each, and one railway and cae telegraph battalion, each of three companies. In addition to the 13 di vtakms, them art three regiments of efiakt and two battalions of foot artil- Wry. The annual number of recruits required to keep the army up to Its full strength Is from 50,000 to 60,000, but dftvbh the number could easily be obtained. The troops mentioned form only the line with the colors; In addi tion there are the first and second re serves, the landwehr and landsturm. ■smmr ta lliw.

CHANCES FOR WOMEN Om •* tk* In ffutotug laptop ■Mat Xaana Strug. Tklag •. Wmmtm VkM rm. Tta4 (ft. a.. •Wavs But a BaesMr oa lutrsa ■Wr »44 Ware of Msklse a Livelihood. The ways ia whieh New York women who are dependent upon their own efforts make both ends meet are varied. A woman who has been forced to look for work made memorandums of what she found others doing. She did not try for ordinary clerical work, or stenography, typewriting or em ployment in stores, says the Sun. “I found one woman," she said, “who is making a comfortable living for her self and supporting an invalid hus band by selling gloves which have been thrown aside at the glove counters for apparently trivial reasons. For ex ample, in fitting a glove the saleswom an may break off a button or rip a seam or soil It So as to spoil a sale. This woman has a contract with sev eral stores to take all such gloves ut a reduced figure. “Bhe skillfully repairs whatever damage has tfeen done and sells the gloves at less, of course, than the ■tore price. Ido not know whnt she pays for the damaged goods. That depends, I fancy, upon the extent of the damage. Hut I do know that in some eases she suits a pair of $1.50 gloves for one dollar, maybe less, and ao on. 1 know she has built up quite a business In this way. A number of her patrons now have orders with her frequently in advance for from one to a half dosen pairs. The saving of 50 or 75 cents on a pair of gloves ia quite an item. “Another woman who had tried in vain to make n living at millinery, in which she is an expert, calls at a num ber of houses in her neighborhood and takes the daily market orders. She is paid for this, of course, and 1 am pretty sure she is smart euough to get a commission besides from the vutcher and the prooer. “Sometimes when the mistress of the house wants something extra for a special luncheon or dinner the order taker makes more. On one occasion a woman who had lived in Washington wanted ‘some I.ynnhaven oysters. Now It is a faet that you can't find a Lynn haven oyster in New York such as you can get in Washington. “This order-taker knew exactly how to get the Washington Lynnhavena at a reduced price, and how to have them shipped, and ah* made a handsome iroflt on her order. She told me she would not exchange her work for a place in the biggest millinery foundry, as she. called it. In New York. “Another woman buys all the the ater tickets for a colony nway uptown. Her patrols call np on the 'phone nnd name the ante nnd play,'nnd aha does the rest. “I found another who. In addition to some other little John, famishes sev eral churches with communion bread. Then there In another who sends out samples of new goode to customers In the country. She ie not exactly a pur chasing agent, for there are many such; she simply nends out the sam ples, naming the house where the goods may bn obtnlned. The name and the address of each person receiving the samples are famished to the house sending out the samples, and in case of a sale the woman in notified by the house, whieh pays her n commission. “This sort of business, she told me, pays better than n direct purchase by an agent—lf tbs woman who sends the tamples ban S good list of customers, for the reason that many customers in the country rather like the idea of dealing with the house direct In purchases. The stores, ahe added, are not so apt to aead samples as a wom an who makes a business of it. “I found a woman in n drug atom ia n fashionable part of the city who is n graduate ia pharmacy. She fills only sueh prescriptions ns am brought in by woman. She receives n salary, but ahe gets a commission on all the trade ahe encores from women. “And ao it goes in this great city whem so assay women have to make their own living. If a woman can only find something novel ahe will find plenty of people to help her out." Amarine a Csentry mi Brldaree.

This la the saddest case of ruin com ing from suceesa-that I ever heard of, and the fact that the result not only brought desolation on the person him self, but upon his whole family, makes the Instance especially sad, saya Lon don Answers. He was the only son of a prosperous provision merchant, and, with a be ginner's luck, won some hundreds of pounds on the turf. Elated by his suc cess, he chanced larger sums, lost all he had won, and, in a vain attempt to recoup himself, took some of the money collected from his father’s customers. Shortly afterward his father accident ally discovered that a large account which was owing to higi had been paid to his son and not accounted for. In quiry was made, and it was found that the outstanding accounts did not amount to as many pence as there should have been pounds; and in addi tion, wholesale firms who were sup posed to have been paid by the son had received nothing. The whole had gone in fruitless efforts to “back win ners.” i The result was that, after 50 years’ trading, the business was broken up, and the father, mother and sisters of this unfortunate man were reduced to extreme poverty. - ' vvq \ The Pioneer s : i | BLACKSMITH AND j | WAGON MAKING SHOPS : \ i » All work flrHt-clafM and prices as low an the lowest. 4 j F.
