A new aeroplane has been invented which has two tails and two bodfes, and is able to reverse its direction when in flight without turning round. This machine is known as the "two- " aeroplane. It has only one set o ngs 'and struts, like the ordinary craft, but it can be started with either end forward. The new machine can takeoff and be brought to rest in a very short dis. tance, and, in fact, requires only a very small landing ground. In this respect it approaches the helicopter. There. Is one engine and two pro- pellers, only the forward une of which 1s. used when the machine is in flight. The pilot sits in a swivel seat, which "| he can swing round to face the direc- tion in which he is travelling. The time saved by reversing instead 'of flying round in a wide circuit should give this type of "plane a great advant- age in wartime. HARD. ON BABY The Canadian Spring weather--one day mild and bright; the next raw and blustery," is 'extremely hard on the baby. Conditions are such that the mother cannot take the little one out for the fresh air so much to be desir- ed. He is confined to the house which is often overheated and badly venti lated. He catches cold; his little stomach and bowels become disorder- ed and the mother soon has a sick baby to look after. To prevent this an' occasional dose of Baby's Own Tablets should be given. They regu- late the stomach and bowels, thus pre- venting or relieving colds, simple fevers, colic or ahy other of the many minor {lls of childhood. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by maf] Medicine Oo.; Brockville, Ont. rr Mp nt, _ The Gospel of Labor.

SPRING IHPURITIES DUE T0 POOR BLOOD A Tonic Medicine a Necessity at This Season. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are an all- year-round tonic for the blood and nerves. But they are especially valu- able In the spring when the system is loaded with impurities as a result of the indoor life of the winter months. 'There Is no other season when the blood is so much in need of purifying and enriching, and every dose of these pills helps to enrich the blood. In the spring one feels weak and tired--Dr. Williams' Pink Pills give strength. In the spring thé appetite is often poor-- Dr. Williams' Pink Pills develop the dppetite, tone the stomach and ald weak digestion. It is in the spring that poisons in the blood find an outlet in disfiguring pimples, eruptions and boils--Dr. Willlams' Pink Pills clear the skin because they go to the root of the trouble in the blood. In the spring anaemia, rheumatism, indiges- tion, neuralgia and many other trou- bles are most persistent because of poor, weak blood, and it is at this time when all nature takes on new life that the blood most seriously needs atten- tion. Some people dose themselves with purgatives, but these only further weaken themselves. A purgative merely gallops through the system, emptying the bowels, but does not help the blood. On the other hand, Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills = enrich the blood which reaches every organ in the body, bringing new strength and vigor to weak, easily tired men, women and children. Try Dr. Willlams' Pink Pills this spring--they will not disap- point you.

But wait a minute. The activities of the ordinary kill- joy we know. The fraternity are out to spoil in the mass all innocent fun and galety. But there are other kill- joys. These are not organized; they don't seck to spoil the fun of crowds. Their line'is to take the joy out of ia- dividuals, one at a time. And yet they do it without malice or deliberate in- tent. But the effect is exactly the same. Some parents are killjoys. They are too particular with their children, too careful, too much concerned A child- ish game in which angels might join is brought to a sudden halt. "Bobby, you mustn't do that!" '"Bisle, little girls should not tear about &s though they were boys. Sit down gujetly at once.!" The joy is killed. Uncle gives Tommy & quarter, and Tommy, with great joy, pictures what he will buy. But a Killjoy parent in- sists that the money thould be put in the savings box. Little Mona, with great joy, lays the table for tea. Mother will' be s0 sur- But mother has a rebuke: "Never do that agaim,~Mona! If you had broken a cup I should have been very upset!" 3 Today, without knowing or meaning it, you may have acted as such a kill- joy. Have you snubbed anyone?

Figures, fantasies, worries, crowd too often upon the weary brain, frightenfig away Nature's sweet re- stérer, The man who lives haphazard, doing things as the spirit moves, retiring to rest only when "feeling sleepy," paves the way to sleepless nights. We should always go to rest and rise at the same hours every day. This matter of regularity js fmport-| ant, for the expectation of sleep is one of the most powerful means of induc- ing its reality. And if this expeocta- tion be combined with the withdrawal of the mind from all other clams upon its attention, slumber should become easy. Apart from the pernicious method of "drugging" to produce sleep, many in- fallible (?) methods are advocated. Repeating verses of poetry, counting up to a thousand, and saying the al phabet backwards are among them. All such expedients, however, re- quire mental effort, and thus hinder rather than help. It is infinitely bet- ter not to allow the mind to wander at all, There 'are, however, times slumber efudes us. On such an opplication of cold water to the top of the head will produce sleep when other means may fail. ALL FOODS SHOULD BE SEALED. when The medical profession very general ly advocate that all food products should be sold in sealed packages. AH cities rigorously inspect butcher shops to prevent meat from being infected, many prolitbit milk from being sold in bulk and gradually this will come with everything. "SALADA" was the first to introduce the package idea as re- gards tea, over thirty-two years ago, and "SALADA" is still a little purer and a little better than other teas. It has by far the largest sale. -- ee The Land of Story Book. At evening when the lamp is lit, Around the fire my parents sit; They sit at home and talk and sing, And do not play at anything, Now, with my little gun, I crawl All in the dark along the wall, And follow round the forest track Away behind the sofa back. There, in the night, where none can 8DY, All in my hunter's camp I lie, And play at books that I have read Till it is time to go to bed. These are the hills, these are the woods, These are my starry solitudes; And there the river by whose brink The roaring lions come to drink. I see the others far away As it in firelit camp they lay, And I, like to an Indian scout, Around their party prowled about. 80, when my nurse comes in for me, Home I return across the sea, And go to bed with backward looks At my dear land of story-books. --R.
