While there is perhaps more rea- son for depression of spirits at this time than in iionznal times, it must ‘oc l1 znittod that there always has been depression of spirits.

Thu‘, depression of spirits is a real nnd a scrictis condition, so serious that. it can bc seen ln the patients fiat‘, t is only natural for the de- preircd patient to consult his phy- sirjzin about his symptoms-poor app tile. slccplessness, feeling of lfl:f".‘ll'.‘l'_\'. fern" of heart disease or

From the health standpoint, do prcssrd indiiiduals blame first one organ and, tf this found to be nor- mal, than worry about another and still another. Somc plead with their physician to undergo an operation to correct a condition caused en- tircly by their depressed spirits.

‘What is the treatment for de- pression of splrlis?

As lack of sleep is an outstanding result of depression. any method of inducing sleep will give the nerves a chance of becoming rested. This rest, with its refreshment, strength- ens the nervous system and rarnoves ciepression. As a tired body demands sleep. a few minutes- exercise or a warm bath-getting into bed im- mediately after the bath-will usu- ally bring on sleep in most cases.

There are. of course, cases in which sleep “must" be induced. In those crises, a quietlng drug is propri-ly uscd to relax the mind. A rested mind can face life's prob- lcms.

Tlie Duke William. one of the transports ordered to the island of St. John for the purpose of help- ing to evacuate the Acaiiiuns at the time of their expulsion. was under tlic curse of a Frenchman u ho managed to escape the British dragnct. lt appears that part of his fam- ily had been ordered aboard dif- ferent ships,‘ and, furious at being separated from his loved ones. he pronounced a dreadful curse on the Duke William and her captain.

Did the curse follow the ship? Well, read the account of her voyiagt- from the shores of P. E. I. tiii shc met lier fate on the high suns. and then judge for yourself \\|‘.t‘lil0l‘ the story be truth or leg- end.

\\'hcn abput n league distant from the Gut of Canso, the Duke Wil- liam's troubles began.

A great storm swept up from the sea, causing the vessel to part with her cable and anchor. No sooner was this evil remedied than a second storm. accompanied by heavy thunder and lightning, des- cended upon the ill-fated vessel and hcr unhappy prisoners, who, it is claimed, were being deported tn France. During this second storm several of the crew were swept overboard and lost their iivc-s. The ship received a terrific pounding from the giant uuvcs that broke oier her from time to time.

e The third day ‘dawned clear an-l calm, and the Duke William was proceeding at a satisfactory speed. apparently as staunch and sea- ivorthyi as when shc left lsle St. John.

Shortly after this incident it vias discovered that the Duke William had sprung a bad leak and that water rapidly was pouring into her hold. Captain Nicolls directed that the pumps be put in action. When this failed to loiver the water. the French prisoners were freed and ordered to take turns at the pumps. But all efforts to relieve the ves- sel of \vatei' proved vain. The situ- ation was beginning to look grim. For thrcc days and nights they continued in this desperate condi- tion, thc ship now almost full of water nnd expected every minute t0 go to the bottom.

Captain Nicolls had bailed out the last of the liquor on board. The provisions were about exhausted. Empty casks were lashed to the decks Lo keep the vessel buoyed UP

Then they sighted a cutter. The captain hoisted the English colors and sent out signals of distress. But the cutter either did not see them or else was afraid to draw near. England and France then were engaged in a bitter war and

suspicion.

On their fourth day at sea they ran into another terrible storm which carried away the Duke Wil- liam's niainmast. as well as causing considerable damage to other parts of the ship.

When the storm abated they re-
