INFLUENZA'S VICTIMS Left Weak, Miserable and a Prey to Disease in Many Forms. One of the most treacherous dia- '•ases afllcting the people of Canada during the winter months is influenza. It almost invariably ends with a com- plication of troubles. Its victims suf- fer with alternate fevera aud chills, headaches and backaches. It leaves them an easy prey to bronchiUs aud pneumonia. Indeed, the deadly after effects of Influenza may leave the Tlctim a chronic Invalid. You can avoid influenza entirely by keeping the blood rich and red by the use of Dr. Williams' Pinlc Pills. If yon have not done this and the disea.se attack.s you, you can banish Its deadly after effects through ine use of this BreaP blood-building nerve-restoring tonic. Here is proof of the power of Dr. Williams' Pink PllKs over this trouble. Mr. F. H. McMulIen, Belleville, Out., says: â€" "Some years ago, following a severe attack of influenza, I was left In such a weak condition that my friends thought I would not get better. I developed nervous indigestion, and my blood got thin and watery. In this weakened condition I began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and these did what other medicine had failed to do â€" brought me back to health and strength. I can honestly say I think them the best blood builder and nerve tonic known, and I shall always praise them." You can get the pills from your druggist, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., BrockviUe, Ont. ,5 __ Less Noise Please Making the Airplane Easier on the Ears Will Help a Lot Could it be bandits of the skies.

These sounds have two sources: first, the vibration of the propeller itself, and second, the disturbance created by the blade tips cutting the, air at six to eleven mil»3 per minute.

At present the noise, which an irate former who was trying to ^^^ ^,^ he^^j i,y sound-detecting do- discourage aviators from flying over , ^i^eg for miles, gives a warning to the bis land. The deafeninji noise of the ..pposing forces, allowin planes, he protested, bothered hi.s bens and made them stop laying. Th's man. continues' the writer, who take.s HP the problem of making the air- plane noiseless, or at least less noisy, was the first to express dissatisfac- tion in such sensational form, "but millions of people are becoming in- tolerant of the noise created by air- planes. Both the airplane-riding pub- lic and the millions who must hear this noise from the ground are de- manding that planes be silenced." What is being done to solve this baf- fling problem is outlined thus by Mr. Clephane: In theory it Is as easy to make a noiseless aviation motor as it is to make a quiet motor-car. Every pound added for mufflers and other silencing i devices now on the market reduces the amount of paying mall, freight, and passengers that can be carried. For this reason and because of the added fire hazard and loss of power that most of the devices cause, manu- facturers have been slow to adopt them. Recently there has been a develop- ment that offers first possibilities of a practical solution of the noise prob- lem. A device which will cut down the exhaust noises without adding ap- preciably to the weight or fire hazard, or causing a loss of power, has been developed on an entirely new princi- ple. The exhaust gases are gathered to- gther in two pipes and passed into the Inside of the blades qf a hollow steel propeller that has just been Invented. By leaving an opening on the trailing edges of the blades from whicli the gases escape, the centrifugal effect causes a partial vacuuir to be built up Inside the propeller. Not only will the motor be silecned by this device, but It will do away â- with the loug hot exhaust pipe which p is the main cause of Are in plane.s. turning slight accidents In landing and lu the air into horrible tragedies.

Scottish Nationalism Dot Allan in the Review of Reviews (Ix>nclon): Whether or not tho Scot-| tish Nationalists will increase and! thrive remains to be seen. Certain it) is that the party numbers among its di&ciples vast numbers of tho younf^or intelligentzia. It is, indeed, so much a party of youth that older people not unnaturally regard it with suspicion, believing its r.dherent.i in most ca.ses to be self-seekers, usinjf it as a short cut to political po.ver. Sir Robert Home doubtless had this in mind when he spoke of the triumph of Na- tionalism as bringing "an increase of pride to the breasts of the parochial- niincied." Herein. I think, lies the crux of the whole question. Is na- tional pride â€" a fine thing, and in no way related to parochialism â€" at the Ix-ttom of the Scottish Nationalist mcvement, or has that movement its roots in a baser soil? Will the dissen- sion caused by the propagation of the Nationalist airr.s be justified ultimate- ly by an era of increased peace and prosperity? These are the questions perplexing tho minds of thinking men and women of Scottish blood all over the world today.
