/ STRONG PEOPLE NEEDED The need for people to be healthy te urgent. Those whom Illness haa put outside the ranks of robust men, and women feel their position keenly. They are b&ndlcapped In every walk trf life and weak men and nerve-worn women need more earnestly than ever to put their health right and become active and strong. Many who began "patching" months ago are as ill now aa on the day they began vainly tin- kering with common drugs. Every ail- ing man and woman should remember that the ills of debility, nerve exhaus- tion, indigestion, sleeplessness, neural- gia, and depression come from a faulty blood supply. Worry, over-work or other causes have imporerished the blood and left the life-stream impure. The nerves thereby are starving and the whole system is languishing for new blood. In this condition many thousands have won back strong nerves and new health and strength through the new rich blood Dr. Wil- liams Pink Pills actually makes. In a weak or bloodless condition It Is not only a was^te of time and money, but also a further menace to your health to tinker with common drugs. Fol- low the example of so many thou- sands by giving Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial, and they will trans- form you into healthy, active me:i and women. You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mall at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., BrockvUle, Ont. ALGOMA AND AN AUTHOR. If an author can be said to be the product of any particular districtâ€" and why not. Just as much as a variety of flower, or fruit, or grain ?â€" Alan Sullivan, the distinguished Canadian poet and novelist, should be most pro- perly identified with Algoma, that curiously shaped county of Ontario which stretches from the cities and settlements of the shores of Lake Huron and Lake Superior, up through the 2,900 square miles of the Mlssis- sauga Forest Reserve, to the great fur-trading territories three hundred and sixty miles aortli. where it is bounded by the Albany River, the chief tributary of James Bay. The southern shores of this county were colonized some thirty years ago at the instance of C.P.R. agents, by hardy pioneers from the older counties of Kincardine and Bruce, but the city of Sault Ste. Marie has Its roots in the remoter past, as it was a trading post for the voyageurs, who travelled for the furtraders of Montreal into the far West. Alan Sullivan, whose father was Bishop of the Algoma Diocese, was at one time engineer of the work of construction and ballasting the Al- goma branch of the CPR. between Sudbury and the Sault Ste. Marie, and US08 the local color in several of his short stories. "It was fascinating," he says, "in those days to watch the -psychological effect of the arrival of the track, or even of the survey party on the settlers. They brightened up. and looked at their farms with new eyes. They were in touch with the world that heretofore had seemed so distant." The bush fires, the miners, the hunters, the mail carriers, the Indian agents and the trappers have provided rich material for Alan Sulli- van's stories, some of the best of which have been collected in the vol- ume called "The Passing of Owl-1- But." More recently he has enlarged bis field, aivd in his latest volume, "The Inner Door," he takes for at- mosphere the labor movement In a small Industrial town. But the town Is still in Ontario, a fact that makes it all the more interesting to the Cana- dian reader, who takes an Interest in the now rapid growth of a distinctive Canadian literature. -TACTICAL MINES." Are Inefficient Instruments of Naval Warfare at the Present Time. { I In the last great sea fight in the i North Sea the retreating Germans | â-  threw overboard gre^t numbers of so- ' ' called "tactical mines," in the hope ' that the British warships would hit them and be thereby demolished. { I Nobody knows whether or not any damage to the British fleet was ac- ! complished on that occasion by this ' means. But it is at least doubtful. { Vice-admiral William S. Sims, now; in command of the American naval ' forces in European waters, declares that the menace of tactical mines in a , sea battle is not regarded very seri- ously. If squarely bumped, such a mine will blow up a ship, but ordin- arily the "bow wave" of a warship ; will throw the mine aside and out of. the vessel's path. Many -experiments in the use of such mines have been made by the United States naval experts. They have been attached in pairs by a line 200 or 300 feet long, but the line sank, bringing the two mines together, so that they were no better than one. ' Corks were put along the line to hold it up; but, even so, the cutwater of a ship, bearing a thin sheet of steel with a razor edge, would bite it in ' twain. A steel line suitably buoyed by floats has been tried, but even that is liable to be cut, for it cannot be very thick. Thus the tactical mine remains to this day an ineflScient instrument of naval warfare. It represents an un- ' solved problem. YES ! MAGICALLY ! CORNS LIFT OUT WITH FINGERS WOULD NOT BE WITHOUT BABVS OWN TABLETS -Mrs. A. C. Smith. Goodwood. Ont., writes : â€" "I have used Baby's Own Tablets for the past two years and have found them the best medicine a mother can give her little ones and I would not be without them." The Tablets never fall to banish the sim- phj ailments of childhood. They regu- late the bowels: sweeten the stomach and make the cross sickly baby bright, healthy and happy. They are sold by i medicine dealers or by mail at 25 ' cents a box from The Dr WllUanjs' Medicine Co., BrockvUle, Ont. BELGIAN MILLS STRIPPED. Invaders Send Machinery to Germany Or Wreck It. Oflficial dispatches confirm the re- ports recently brought from Belgium and northern France that the Ger- mans are stripping textile mills of their machinery, destroying it or send- ing it to Germany. Actual removal of machinery has been reported from Roubaix, Tourcoing and near Cour- trai, and the purpose of the conquer- ors to carry out this policy through-, out Flanders is forecast by an order to all mills to furnish inventories of their equipment. In some quarters these reports have been interpreted as a possible sign of an approaching evacuation of a large section of Belgian territory. It is pointed out, however, that reports from the same sources tell of the im- portation of children from ten to fif- teen years of age from Germany for office work, and apparently discredit the evacuation theory. Requisitioning by the Germans of wJhe, textile fabrics in retail stores and blankets in private houses is de- scribed in the dispatches. You say to the drug store man, "Give me a small bottle of freezone." This win cost very little but will positively remove every hard or soft com or cal- lus from one's feet. ' | .\ few drops of this new ether com- 1 pound applied directly upon a tender, | aching corn relieves the soreness In-' stantly, and soon the entire com or callus, root and all. dries up and can be lifted off with the fingers. | This new way to rid one's feet of ' corns was Introduced by a Cincinnati man, who says that freezone dries in a moment, and simply shrivels up the corn or callus without irritating the surrounding skin. Don't let father die of infection or lockjaw from whittling at his corns, but clip this out and make him try it. It your druggist hasn't any freezone tell him to order a small bottle from | his wholesale drug house for you. What She Wanted. ' -•\.n old dame who had never budged from her native village in her life be- fore was travelling to London to see her wounded son. It was a long journey, and she began to be very hungry. She had heard that it was possible to get tea on express trains; but no attendant passed along the cor- ridor. Then a bright thought struck her. One should ring for a servant, of course She reached up and pulled the communication-cord. There was a screech of brakes, and presently the guard came rushing along. "Who pulled that bell?" he shouted. "I did!" said the old lady, sweetly. : "Well, what do you want?" asked the guard. "A cup of tea and a ham-sandwich for me, pleasel" said the dame.
