SOME SYMPTOMS { OF THIN BLOOD Everybody ShoaM be Able to Re- cognize Them Because Early Treatment ia Important. Aoaemla, or lack of blood, It * ' & stealthy disease and 1b often quite ad- vanced befora it is recognlzod. It la much eaaler to correct la Ita aarly •tagei, but If uncheckbd cauaet w«ak- neea, loss of welgbt, lack, of vlcor and ambition. Some lymptoms of anaemia ar« losa of appetite, indigestion, beadaclies, •leeplessneas, shortness of breath after alight exertion, and often extreme nei^ Tcusness. If you have any or all of these symptoms begin treatment now with Dr. WUliams' Pink Pllla, the tonic whI<A will make the blood rich and pleatiful. Every part of the body will respond to this treatment, as Is shown by the caae of Mrs. Isaac Bell, Sr., Port Anson, Ont., who says: â€" "A few year* ago I was a ve-ry sickly woman. ' was all mn down a::d my nerves badly shattered. I had taken doctor's medi- cine, but as I got no help from it, I tried other medicines, but with no bet- ter results. One day while reading a newspaper, I came across an adver- tisement of Dr. WUlUms' Pliik Pill* describing a case very much like my own. I decided to try them, and by the time I had taken two boxes I could feel the benefit I was getting f rrom them, so I cheerfully continued the treatment and was soon a well woman in better health than I had enjoyed for some years. In view of what Dr. Williams' Pink puis have done for me I cteer- fully recommend their use to all weak, run-down people."

Little pansy faceis Wink and smile at me. And far and near there's not a tear That humun eye can see. There's beauty In the garden. There's beauty In the sky, The stately phlox and hollyhocks Have put their sorrows by. The gentle breath of summer Has blown the cares away; AH nature sings, for morning brings Another lovely day. Yet some are blind to beauty And some are deaf to song. The troub'.ed brow Is heard to vow That all the world is wrong. And some display their sorrow, And some bewail their woe. And some men sigh that love must die And Bummertlme must: go. Yet some there are who blossom Like roses in the sun. Who dare to climb in summertime When all their care Is done, They hide 'neath smiles of beauty The sorrows they have borne. They seem content that God hath sent Another lovely morn. â€"Edgar A. Quest. How Hany Hairs on a Head? Instruments invented by Charles Nessler, of New York, are capable of counting the hairs of the head and giv- ing other data of interest to hair-dreas- •rs. It has been shown that the num- ber of hairs growing on the average head is from 100,000 to 250,000, vary- ing w'lth the texture of the hair. Human hair grows at the rate of half an Inch a month. LIFE WAS ONE-CELLED AT START But Division Into Plant and Animal Group* Soon Took Place. AMOlEHiA Two forms of present-day microscopic life are shown here. The ameba la a one-c«lled animal. The volvos represents a more advanced state of evolution. It Is compoeed of thousands of cells in a sort of colony. Secrets of Science. By David Dietz. The first life upon earth was prob- ably the S'implest Eort imaginable. Scientists agree upon this, though they do not know how life did originate. Probably the first forms of life were merely mlcroecoplc globules of living matter. In time, s-lmple one-celled organisms evolved. To-day we find such simple one-celled organisms or animalcules, as they are sometimes called, which probably re&emble those first organ- isms.. Scientists call these animalcules "protlsts.'* They arec't delinitely ani- mals or plants. i Some time later, probably millions of years later, the first great step In evolution came about. Some of these organls^ms began to assume the characteristics of animals. Others, those of plants. This was the great parting of the ways, the dividing of life Into the plant kingdom and the animal kingdom. From this point on the evolution of life can be compared to a letter "V," the evolution of the plants going along one branch and the evolution of ani- mals along the other. We find to-day upon the earth micro- scopic one-celled plants and animals. We imagine that these first plants and animais resembled them. It is easy for us to see the difference between the animals and plants around us. But It is not so easy to get down to the fundamental differences which would differentiate microscopic crea- turee into plants and animais. Modern science, however, has sue ceeded in doing ihal. Plants are organisms which feed at a low chemical level. That is, they feed on air, water, and chemical salts. They absorb these salts directly out j of water or soil. They possess a green ' pigment known as chlorophyl. As a ; result of this pigment, they are able In ' sunlight to absorb carbon dioxide out of the air and turn it directly Into car- bon compounds. Animals lack these powers. They ' feed at a high chemical level. That ia, ' they teed on starches, sugars, fats and I proteins, getting them by devouring plants or other animals. There is a second great difference between plants and animals. Plants ' possess little activity. Their cells are boxed in walls of a substance known ' as cellulose. j Animals are active. Their cells do not have walls of cellulose, and in most I cases not much of a wall of any sort. I The first plants' upon the earth were probably microscopic one-ceUed green ] plants Boating in the open sea. Similar ' plants existing to-day are known as j fiagellae. The fir»t animal was also In the sea. I He resembled the present-day ameba. The ameba, found to-day in ditch water ' and muddy ponds, is a tiny irregular shaped speck of grayish matter like jelly. But it moves about and takes • food by distending Itself or flowing around the food speck and thus ab- sorbing it. thanking him for "the kindly care you have taken of your children," the Iro- quois.

Coldstream Guards \ are to make a tour of Canada. They will visit Winnipeg, Vancouver, Bran- don, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, and will be at the Canadian National Elxhibition in Toronto, where they will not only give a number of concerts, but they will also appear with the Ex- hibition Chorus of 2,000 voices. The claim of the Coldstream Band, to be the oldest In the British Army, is. by the way, challenged by one, who states that the band of the Royal Ar- tillery was formed in 1762, 23 years 1 before the Duke of York imported Ger- I man musicians as a nucleus of the Coldstream Guards' Band, and it was the first band to be olfictally recog- nized by a provision in the .-Vrmy Ssti- mates. The formation of the Coldstream Guards Band, it is said, was due to an army strike. The civilian musicians who had previously provided music for the regiment put In a demand for high- er pay, which was refused, whereupon they "downed instruments" and went on srtrike, a »trike which failed owing to the strike-breakers engaged by the Duke of York, at the time Commander- in-Chief.

SAVE THE CffllDREN In Summer When Childhood .Ail- ments Are Most Dangerous. Mothers who keep a box of Baby's Own Tablets in the house may feel that the lives of their little ones are reasonably safe during the hot. weath- er. StomaQh troubles, cholera infan- tum and diarrhoea carry off thous- ands of little ones every summer. In most cases because the mother does not have a safe medicine at hand to give promptly. Baby's Own Tablets relieve these troubles, or If given oc- casionally to the well child they will prerent their coming on. The Tab- lets are guaranteed by a government analyst to be absolutely harmless even to the new-born babe. They are ee- pecially good in summer because they regulate the bowels and keep the stomach sweet and pure.

Comfort on Roadways. Speed has much to do with comfort in riding over rough roads. There are some types of pavements that can be made to seem smoother by driving ten or fifteen miles an hour faster, while others can be smoothed out only by driving slower. It depends upon the nature of the road, the wheelbase of the car, the number and weight of pas- sengers carried, the air pressure in the tires and the type of spring control devices used. So the driver must ex- periment with each new stretch of road. Opportunity. With doubt and dismay you axe maHtr ten; You think there la no (Aasce for you, my son?
