THE BEST SHE EfER USED Dr. WilHams' Pink PUb HigUy Praised by s Quebec Lady* Mrs. David Locan, Thetford VIdm West, Que., gives unstinted praise to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for the good they have done In her family. Mrs. Logan says: â€" "I have been a user of Dr. Williams' Pink PlUs for many years, as occasion required, and have always found them a most reliable medicine. My husband, who was re- covering from an atUck of typhoid fever, and was In a very weak condi- tion, look the pills, and through tbeqa gained health and strength. My daughter was in a run-down condition, and "was forced to discontinue work. Again Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were resorted to and she was soon restored to excellent health- Then my eldest boy had an operation performed for adenoids, which left Wa In a weak- ened condition. Once more Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills were tried, and he was soon in excellent health. So I can truly say that more than satis- faction has been obtained by the use of this medicine. The ptUs have done more good in my house than hundreds of dollars worth of more expensive medicines." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills assist di- gestion, correct the lassitude, the pal- pitation of the heart, shaky nerves and the pallor ot the face and lips that are the results of thin, Impure blood. You can get these Pills from any medicine dealer, or by mall at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine" Co., Brockville, Ont.

USE KO OTHER HEDICHE Baby's Own Tablets Are the . Ideal Remedy for Babies and Young Children Canadian mothers are noted for the care they give their UHle onesâ€" the kealth of the baby is most jealously gnarded and the mother is always on Sko lookout for a remedy which Is sut- cient and at the same time absolute- ly safe. Thousands ot mothers have found such a remedy In Baby's Own Tablets and many of them use noth- ing else for the ailments ot their little sbes. Among them is Mrs.. Howard King, of Truro, N.S., who says:â€" "I ean strongly re«ommeod Baby's Own Ford's Other Industry Airmen Asking If Ford Plane Is to Follow New Model Car Washington. â€" The American avia- tion industry, as represented \at the first general conference in session here under auspices ef the Ctmimerce Department, is asking whether a new Ford airplane vrill follow the new Ford car. According to William B. Stout, gen- eral manager of the Stout Airplane Corporation, a subsidiary of the ForJ Company, who was at the conference, the Ford ainwrt at Detroit is second only in size to the great Tempelhof Field outside of Berlin, and proposals for the coming year will see it the largest in the world. The Ford air- planes are all metal. So far the auto- mobile manufacturer has not gone into airplane engine production, but is using Wright whirlwind motors in his 10-passenger machines, making round trips daily, in good or bad weather, to Cleveland, Buffalo and Chicago. Em- phasis is put on regularity, reliabil- ity and precision of performance. Those closest to Mr. Ford declare his whole purpose so far has been to carry out a first-hand test to Batis>fy himself of what modem aviation real- ly holds for industry. He is doing this on the largest scale yet attempted by a private individual. Even those who know him best are not prepared to forecast how soon he will throw the full weight of his resources into the airplane industry. ^ There has been but one accident in a Ford airplane for two years, Mr. Stout pointed out. This one was not due to faulty aeronautical construc- tion, but to a cyclone, which wrecked a schoolhouse, in addition to injuring the machine. The smooth perform- ance has been kept up with the pres- ent 14 airplanes now operated. "I will not forecast what Mr. Ford will do in aviation," said Mr. Stout. "There is only one man who can ever speak for Mr. Ford's plans, and that is Henry Eord himself." Mr. Stout, pilot of the Ford venture in the- air, is -a mechanical engineer who at one time was head of the Packard Motor Company's aeronaut- ical branch. He beJievee the airplanes of the future will be all metal. His corporation joined the Ford group and manufacture has continued on this basis. Mr. Stout founded Aerial Age, was chief engineer in designing a new car for the Scripps-Booth Company, De- troit, and diversified his already com- plex experiences by designing an all- metal torpcda airplane for the navy. He is the Author, too, of a boy's book on mechanical models, and has been a technical adviser to the Aircraft Boards Washington. "Why doesn't Ford make his own airplane engines " one of the men familiar with Mr. Fonfa interest in aviation was recently asked at the aeronautical conference. "Give him a chance; don't you know be has been busy the past year get- ting out a new model?" was the reply. Gloomy Dean Reviews Epigrams, So Often Quoted, to Arrive at Source MISTAKES PLENTIFUL What is orginality? Undetected plagiarism. This is probably Itself a plagiarism, but I cannot remember who said it before me. If~"orlglnallty means thinking for oneself, and not thinking differently from other peo- ple, a man does not forfeit his claim to it by saying things which have oc- curred to others, writes Dean Inge in the London Evening Standard. In fact, when we consider that mil- lions of people have been thinking, talking and writing for thousands ot years. It Is not likely that anyone should hit upon anything entirely fresh, unless he is inspired to utter something either transcendently wise or moet abnormally foolish. Still, some writers have, or deserve to have, a special reputation as pick- era up of unconsidered trifles; they rival the noble-minded Autolycus, who, according to Homer excelled all other men' in thieving and th« 'use of the oath. "What hast thou that thou didst" not receive?" asks St. Paul. It is a good corrective ot vanity to reflect how completely we are the children of our age, and how mo^ of the giants in each generation are men of mod- erate size, standing on the shoulders of those who have lived before them. Nlne-tentbs of what we call progress is simply the accumulation of trad! did not die, and in the second plaoa, we did aurrender." This did not pre- vent the town of Nantes from engrav- ing the words on the base of his sUtue. And did Wellington say, "Up, Guards, and at them"? It seems more than doubtful. Louis XIV was not heard to say, "TLi'stat, c'ost moi"; though there is no doubt that he thought so. Shakespeare and Seneca Lastly. Galileo probably did not say, "And yet it moves"â€" (of the earth; but it does not diminish his achieve- ment that he was anticipated in his discovery by Arlstarcnus, and ac- cording to Theophrastus, by Plato in his old age. Leonardo, who antici- pated most discoveries, wrote In large letters In his dilary: "U sole non si muove." Several famous sayings In our great poets have been traced back to the Greek and Roman classics. Churton Collins collected a long list of parallels between Shakespeare and Qreek trag- edy. Either Shakespeare was better read than is usually supposed, or "great wits Jump" with singular fre- (tuency. But this question cannot be discussed without quoting the Greek texts. In Macbeth. "Canst thou not minis- ter to a mind diseased," can hardly be independent of Seneca's, "Nemo tion â€" recorded trials and errors, and pollute queat animo mederi." Ben a few lucky shots When we talk of literary plagiarisms we think, not ot whole systems of thought, which may be lifted with impunity, but of neat sayings, pre- served for their wit and wisdom. It is tempting to Introduce one or two Jonson's famous song, "Drink to me only with thine eyes." is a paraphrase of Pilostratus. Milton on Fame â€" that last Iniirmlty or noble minds- borrows a fine sentiment from Tacitus (Histories Iv. 6). The well-known "I do not like you.

These are not strictly plaglar near allied," Is from Aristotle through Seneca. It is by no means always true. A very close parallel between Burns and Claudlan must be a mere coincidence, since Burns was not a Latin scholar. "O poorlsh cauld and restless love, ye freck my peace be- tween ye.
