Who's to Blame for the High Cost of Food? It may be the farmer, it may be the middleman, it may be the weather â€" but never mind â€" you have Shredded Wheat at the same old price, the same high quality, the one per- fect, complete food, sup- plying more real nutriment than meat, or eggs, or veg- etables, costing much less and more easily digested. Cut out the high-price foods. Eat Shredded Wheat for breakfast with milk or cream. Eat it for dinner with stewed fruits and green vegetables. A deliciously noxirishing meal for only a few cents.

There are, however, some exceedingly dainty pieces of lingerie which are quite practical after all. Among these are the silk and wash satin undergarments which are very practical as long as thty are carefully laundered. The delicate shades must be washed with care to preserve their colors, and there ij no denying that it is well worth the trouble for the satisfaction that one f^els from possessing dainty lingerie.

HOW TO CURE STOMACH TROUBLE! '~~ i The Common Cause is Lack of i Blood â€" Therefore You Must Build L p the Blood. ! There is the most intimate relation between the condition of the blood ' and the activity of the stomach. The blood depends upon the stomach for Si large part of it.^ nourishment; while; every act of digestion, from the time , the food enters the stomach and is as- similated by the blood needs plenty of • pure well-oxidized blood. The mus- 1 cles, glands and nerves of the stomach work only according to the (juality of the blood. ' The most common cause of indiges- tion is lack of rich, red blood. Not only docs impure blood weaken the muscles of the stomach but it lessens . the product of the glands of the in- ' testines and stomach, which furnish the digestive fluids. Nothing will more promptly cure indigestion than plenty af pure blood. Dr. Williams' , Pink Pills are the safest and most cer- tain blood-builiier. A thorough trial of these pills give.< a hearty appetite, perfect digestion, strength and health. Here is proof of the value of these pills in cases of indigestion. Mr. Dan- iel Dexter, Liverpool, N.S., says: â€" "For several years I was a great suf- ferer from imiigestion. I was great- ly troubled with gas on the stomach which caused disagreeable sensations. I was also frequently troubled with nausea and vomiting, which were very distressing. .\s a result of my trouble my appetite almost completely failed, and what I did eat caused me constant pain. I was continually doctoring but did not get any benefit, and had about made up my mind that I would luTer for life. One day a friend aske! me why I (lid not try Dr. Williams' i'i.-k Pills, and while 1 had not much hope of a cure I decided to do so. I had only taken a few bo.\.es. however, when I found they were helping me. Very gladly then I continued the use of the pills, and in less than three months I was as well as ever I had been, able to cat a hearty meal, and to feel that life was again worth living. I had also been trembled from time to time with attacks of rheumatism, and the use of the pills cured this as well as the in- digestion. It is now over a year since I took the pills, and in that lime I have had no return of the trouble." Dr. VVillianms' Pink Pills are sold by all dealei's in medicine or may be had by mail at 50 cents a box or six bjxes for $2.60 from The Dr. Wil- liams .Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. How It Looked To Tommy. A teacher was trying to impress her pupils with the note of interroga- tion in reading. She wrote this sen- tence, ''Where are you going?" on the board, and asked Tommy to read it. Tommy read "Where are you going" â€"no query mark. She had him do it again. There was no change. "Now, Tommy," she said, "look carefully at, that sentence and see if you don't i notice some difference between it and I the others we've had. Be sharp now, and read it again." Tommy vtHgrgled back and forth in an effort to be "sharp" and then the light of knowl- edge shone forth from his eyes and he read: "Where are you going, lit-; tie button hook?" « I GIARD THE BABY i AGAINST COLDS To guard the baby again.«t colds nothing can equal Baby's Own Tab- lets.

Almost mvariably these lads come from the lower ranks of society, yet gome dozen reformatory boys are in the ranks of commissioned officers, their (luality and fitness having been shown in the day of battle. But a great number have gained a higher honor still â€" not fewer tlian a thousand of them. They have had the deathless honor of dying for their country. So here's to Britain's "bad boys"!
