The TIME TEST and
'ASPRO'
THE old idea that a dozen
medicines were needed for a
dozen complaints-that laying up for indefinite periods was necessary-that it was also necessary to take dangerous drugs and narcotics-was an illusion... ASPRO has dis pelled it. For it is the medicine that takes the place of a dozen medicines, because. after ingestion in the system, it is an internal antiseptic-—an anti-pyretic or fever reducer an anti-periodic-a powerful germicide, and a solvent of Uric Acid, and, therefore, banishes the causes of numerous complaints. That's why" ASPRO banishes headaches in five minutes. It's the time test for quick action. and it stands the test of time. 'ASPRO' soothes the irritable--brings sweet sleep to the sleepless-relieves theumatism In one night-smashes colds and influenza at inception, Furthermore, 'ASPRO' does not harm the heart or the stomach. It can be taken by all. from child to pareng, anywhere, any time. The price is within the reach of all.

BENDING WOOD.
INTO ANY SHAPE BY HAND
44
London, May 17. Recently I saw a strip of beech wood tied into a lover's knot by hand, writes a correspondent.
I bent a smaller strip until it was doubled, using moderate pressure of the hards on both ends. The strip Tema ned bent until I straightened it without effort.
It was a demonstration of the success of the Government Forest Products Research Laboratories at Princes Risborough. They have treated wood so that it bends and twists when "cold" like rubber.
The wood can be bent easily into all shapes, and yet does not spring back into its former shape-as, for instance, cane does.
The laboratories have successfully treated ash, beech and elm. They are now applying their methods to English hard woods.
STEAMED
The wood is compressed at both ends in concertina fashion, after in has been steamed.
Then, when cold, if can be bent by hand.
Mr.. W. A. Robertson, director or the Laboratories, toʻi me:"
“This marks the success of the first stage. We have now to dis- cover the wood's durability and strength after the treatment.
