KEEP LITTLE ONES WELL IN WINTER Winter is a dangerous season for the little ones. The days are so changeable one flay bright, the next cold .and stormy, that the mother IB afraid to take the children out for th "fresh air and exercise they need so much. In consequence they are often cooped up in overheated, oadly venti- lated rooms and are scon seized with colds or grippe. What is needed to keep the little ones well is Baby's Own Tablets. They will regulate the stom- ach and bowels and drive out colds, and by their use the baby will- be able to get over the winter s*asou in per- fect safety. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mall at 25 cts. a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockvilie. Ont. Pat's Answer. A motorist who was touring In Ira- land one day met a native who was driving a donkey and cart. Thinking he would have a little fun at his ex- pense, he began: "What is the difference, Pat, be- tween your turnout and mine?" The native looked at the questioner a minute or so, and then replied: "Not a great deal. Tho donkey's in the shafts In the one, and on the seat In the other." The motorist asked no more conun- drums.

Clever Rescue of Workman Marooned 150 Feet in Air. While, repairing, Kin&'-e Landed, the j top of a smokestack. 125 ft. above the j roof of a 30-ft.-liigb building in tlie : plant of the American Bridge Com- pany, Chicago, the workman let drop the line wlricli was his only means bf returning to the roof, and Uinc<? to the ground. Tliere was no pcssibility of conveying a tine to that height with 1 any appliance in the plaut, and so ap- 1 peal was made for help from the flre department which h;u; a line-throwing gun in nppearaiwe exactly like a niili- tary rifle, for use iu such an emerg- ency. Several futile attempts were ' made to flre the line within reach of the marooned workman, and finally this metlwl of rescue had to be aban- I doned. Fortunately, as the stack had I aot been in use, it was cold, and final- ly a feMow workman climbed from th* level of the roof up the first 30 ft. of the inside of the stack, to which height it was lined wi'Ji asbestos. On a 3-in. steel ring, on the top "of the as- bestos, the rescuer stood, with his legs astride the stack. In the meantime some long, light wooden scantlings, that htul been cut and drilled for tem- plates, as iis-eil in aU structural work, were obtained and passed up to toim. He pushed upward, first one of these scantlings, to the top of which a line was made fast, and to the bottom of that scantling he attached, with the aid of the holes, another, and so on. mantling after scantling, until the top one came within reach of the strand- ed workman. This did not happen un- till the poor fellow had sp^ut four hours in his perilous position. 130 ft. above ground, in the frosty December atmosphere. Once he grasped the end of the line, it was a inuttrr of only a few minutes before he had hitched it to the top of the stack, and slid down !o .safety. $25.00 FOR A LETTER CAN YOU WRITE ON 7 E?

Theoretically, it would be to build up a (?o<xl arRiiment connect- ing the family name of Arbuclcl> with the contrivance known as a buckle, and assume that the first ArbuckJes, or Bucklers, were makers of these con- trivances. A study of those historical lists In wliich so> many of the names of the mutdl' ages have been preserved (bofli these which already had bctrtn-. hereditary and thos-e which were still merely descriptive) shows that this view would be in i-rror. True, one who made or sold buckle* might naturally have been called, a "buckler." Hut for the most part he. wasn't Tho records show that it was the maker of "bucld.'i-s" who was call- ed lirst a "iMicleror." shortened later Into "buclir" or "Ijnkeler."

Hundreds of letters were submitted in this competition, and yet there must have been thous- ands of other users of the pills who did not avail themselves of the op- portunity to win a prize. To all these another letter writing competition is offered. There are thousands who have experienced great benefit from the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, whose cases have never her 'ii reported. These will furnish the material for the letters to be written in this contest. There is no demand upun the imagina- tion; every letter must deal with facts and (acts orly. The Prizes. The Dr. Williams' .Medicine Co.. of Brockvilie, Ont., will award a prize of $25.00 for the best letter received' on or before the 15th day of February. 1922, from residents of the Province of Ontario on the subject: "Why 1 Recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."

If the case relates to some person other than the writer of the letter, it must also be signed by the person whose case is described, as a guarantee of luu truth of the state- ments made. Tho writer of each letter must give the name and date of the paper in which liu or she saw this announce- ment. Fine writing will not win a prize un- less you have a good case to describe.
