K THE DANGER OF ANAEMIA Consumption May Follow Unless its Ravages are Checked There is danger to every girl and *very woman who falls a, victim to anaemia. that is bloodlessness. They become listless, feel too weiak, too wretched and too hopeless to take prompt steps to stop tbe trou- ble. Too often, through neglect, they drift into a worse condition, forgetting that anaemia frequently leads o<n to consumption. If you are anaemic in the least degree you should lose no time in beginning treatment to increase and enrich the blood supply. To do this there is no other medicine eo good as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Every dose heLps make rich, red blood, which drives out disease and brings again tlie- bloom of health to pale and sallow cheeks. There are thou- lands of women and growing girk in Canada, who owe their present pood health to the timely use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Among those who have been restored' to health by this great medicine is Misa Rose Neville, Mount Forest, Chit., who says: "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills performed almost a mir- icle in my case. I was a victim of uiaemia, in what my friends con- videred a dangerous form. I wa rery pale, always felt tired out, mffered from severe headaches, and ad no appetite. I was taking doc- tor'* medicine for a long time in tact I tried two doctors but in- tcad of improving I eeemcd to be growing worse. My parents were t a loss to know what to do for me, and thought I would not reco- ver. Then a friend advised Dr. Williams' Pink Pilk and I had only taken them a. few weeks when I began to feel better. This greatly ncouraged me, and I continued fcaking the pilla for seme time longer, and found my health again la good aa ever it had been. In tact I am stronger than ever I was before. I have advised the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to other girls who have found the results equally beneficial."

Scientist Uiseovero Species That Understands Cookery. The extraordinary habits of th? harvester ant have long been known to naturalists. Certain epe- cies not only harvest and store in granaries the seeds upon which they feed, but actually plant and cultivate aa annual crop of their food seeds. Still moro remarkable stories are told of au ant that is common in Dalmatia, the Messor barbarus. According to Dr. Neger of the Dresden Forestry School, this ant not only cuts leaves and gathers seeds, but actually makes bread or biscuit ! The seeds are first sprout- ed, then carried into the sun and dried, then taken back to the under- ground chambers, where they arc hewed into a dough. The dough is then finally made> into tiny cakes, whiHi are baked in- the siyi, then 'carefully stored for fu^M use. From these obscrvarfns it would ^appear that the artful cookery is |not confined to the human race. All (cooking i done by the sun, whether ;in the ripening of fruit or in the baking of bread in a stove. The ;heat obtaiued from fuel is simply * tor i-d up sunlight set free.. The Arab and the native Mexican tapeak of ripe fruib as fruit which Ihas been cooked in the sun. The ant has somehow learned the art of {Iran cookery, the saliva with which lit moistens the grain probably tak- ing the place of yeast and sweeten- ling through changes set up by its Ijnfluence upon starch. fcABY'S OWN TABLETS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED No .medicine for little ones is so {highly recommended as is Baby's ' [Own Tabl-ts. They are guaran- ,tced by a (government analyst to be absolutely safe, and besides that thousands : of mothers throughout tho land yraiee them ae the only nuiv cure for childhood ailments. Concerning them Mr. Edward Mo- Uonald, Douglastown, Que., says: "I can highly recommend 1 Baby'e Own Tablets to any mother who has a baby suffering from, const ipa- tion or teething troubles." The Tablets are sold by medicine deal- ers or by mail at 25 oente a box from Tho Dr. Williams' Medicine Qo., Brockville, Ont. Putting It Plainly. A judge, whose personal appear- imce was as unprepossessing as his ^knowledge was profound, interrup- ted a female witness. ''Humbug- ged you, my good woman!" said E e . "What do you mean by that 1" ("Well, my lord," said the witness, <"I can't explain it exactly, but if m girl called your tordship a hand- some man h* wonkl be humbug- ging you." Grand Duchess Olga. Report in St. Petersburg ha* it that the eldest child of the Czar of Russia, Grand Duchess Olga, now onlv seventeen years of age, has lad her way and will wed her wild young cousin. Grand Duke Dmitri I'avlovitch, despite the bitter op- position of her mother. When the girl was born she was a disappoint- ment to the royal couple, for they wished for a boy ;us their heir. However, one came later, and a future Czar was provided for Rus- sia. Dmitri, who is now in exile in Paris because of a carousal at home, is the son of the Czar's uncle, Grand Duke Paul, whose escapades have furnished the scandal-mongers in Europe their choicest stories for a quarter of a century. He was the loader o the gayest, wildest &et of St. Petersburg. It is expected the young pair, if wedded, will become the leaders of a- "smart set 1 ' in St. Petersburg that makes light- of eourt etiquette and ceremonials, just as the Crown Prince and Princess of Germany have done in Berlin. Then the Czarina's labor of years will be lost, the Dowager C/arina will be- come the actual leader of court society. Grand Duchess Ol.<?a has just re- covered from an attack of measles. Her illness was kept secret in rdor to prevent the circulation of dis- quieting reports.

The Right Soap For Baby's Skin Is Cuticura Soap , < - N the care of babyjs skin and hair,' Cuticura Soap is the mother's fa- vourite. Not only is it unri- valed in purity and refreshing fragrance, but its gentle emol- lient properties render it oi great value in" promoting skin and hair health generally. For the treatm ent of eczemas, rashes and other itching, burning in- fantile eruptions, warm baths with Cuticura Soap, followed by gentle applications of Cuti- cura Ointment are usually effec- tive when other methods fail. Cuticura Soap wears to a wafer, often outlasting several cakes of ordinary soap and making its use most economical. Cutleur* Bony and Ointment are sold throughout the world.

"It sems to me." opined Mr. i Caleb Peaslee. "that C'y Kilgore gets more diagreeable tho okler he- grow*. He> won't agree with any pusson on airth not if he can find out fust what the other man thinks. Ain't that so, Lysande-r?" Mr. Ly sander Wiachope, thus ap- pealed to, stroked his ''ellum" cane reflectively, and eyed his quicker- speaking friend with placid, ox-like eyes. "He scurcely ever thinks same as me about things," h admitted', at length. "Scuroely ever!" snorted Mr. Peaslee, with impatience. "Did he ever agree with you about one sin- gle namablo thing if he had a chance to find out ahead what you thought 1 Did he 1" "M-waJ." replied Mr. \Vinchope, thoughtfully, "answerin' that ques- tion direct, I dunn/ he ever did." "No, air," affirmed Mr. Peaslee, warmly, "and he wouldn't! I get kinder out of patience when I get to talkin' about Cy Kilgore. He's just been inter my house, and he took 'casion to show some ol his cross grain there. "My wife spoke about Mel Deer- ing's last sickness while Cy was there," Mr. Peaslee went on, "and she spok-a very feelin' about what a great sufferer Mel was in his last days, you know how women talk and sympathize ami C'y Kilgore sot there and listened to her talk, and all the time he was lettin' that bias, three-cornered temper of hbn curdle up on him.. At last, when ehe got done talkin', he got up and started for the door. He dassent set in the chair ' say it, he knew what kind v temper my wife's got, but whcti B got to the door he turned rouno, sour as a crab-apple, and he says : " 'Folks made an awful toivse over Mel Deering's sickness,' says he. 'Huh! He wa' n't more' n half as sick as folks thought he wa. ' "Mel Deering was sick enough to die," concluded Mr. Pea&le*. "and I don't believe even Cy Kilgore ever saw any one get much sicker than that!" Good Resolutions. Good resolutions are never a short cut to good works. Carefully thought out plans and earnestly made resolves are valuable only as they bring Into plain sight the du- ties that we ought to be doing. They are worse than useless when we let them take the place of duty doing, i as we often do. A man will, on i his way from his house to work at j the beginning of the day, make such good plans and resolves for that day that by the time he reaches his office he has unconsciously let him- ! *4f think that the hardest part of j the work is done ; and then the real : doing of it evaporates in the glow j of the plan-making. It is better for , most people to spend more of their j time on what needs to be done than on planning when and how they will j do it. An unplanned duty done is better than a duty that always re- mains planned for. BAMSHED. Tea and Coffee Finally Had to tio. The way some persons oling to tea and coffee, even after they know they are doing them harm, is a puzzler. (Tea is just as harmful because it contains caffeine, the same drug foundi in coffee). But it is aoi easy matter to give it up for good, when Postum i properly- made and used intead. A girl writes : "Mother had been suffering with nervous headaches for seven weary years, but kept on drinking coffee. "One day I asked why she did not give up coffee, as a cousin of mine had done who had taken to Postum. But Mother was such a slave to cof- fee she thought it would be terriblt to give it up. "Finally, one day she made the change to Postum, and quickly her headaches disappeared. One morn- ing while she was drinking Poetum so freely and with such relish, I asked for a taste. "That started me on Postuin and I now do-ink it more freely that I did- coffee, which never comes iuto our house now." Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont. Write for book- let, "The Road to Wellville." Postum comes in two forms. Regular Postum (must be boiled.) Instant Postum doesn't require boiling, but is prepared Instantly j by stirring a level teaspoonful in j an ordinary cup of hot water, which , makes it right for most persons A big cup requires more, and j some people who like strong things ! put in a heaping teaspoonful and ' temper it with a large supply of j cream. Experiment until you know th amount that pleases your palate, and have it served that way in the future. "Ther's a Reason" lor Postum. THE BAMi OF ENGLAND. Guarded Every >'ight By a Com- pany of Soldiers. For one hundred and thirty-one years a company of guardsmen, in ! charge of au officer, marched every evening from the Chelsea or the Wellington Barracks to the Bank of England. For the last few years, owing to the great increase of the street traffic, the soldiers have gone by the underground railway. In future, however, the nightly guard for the Bank of England is to be drawn from the guards sta- tioned in the Towar of London. If the visitor to London waits by the bank any evening, at half past six o'clock, he will see about thirty men in the charge of a lieutenant and two sergeants marched up in parade dress with fixed bayonets j and loaded ammunition belts. ! These are the only troops that may march through the city of London with fixed bayonets. The men themselves like this ' duty. When they march back to quarters, about seven o'clock in the morning, they may do as they please for the rest of the day ; and they receive an extra shilling a day j from the bank managers. Ea<-h man also has a pair of fine blankets j wherein to wrap himself while he I waits for his turn to go on guard, | and in winter big fires are lighted i for them. They have generous re- freshments provided for them, and! the officer in command has a din- j ner for himself and two friends. In the daytime another curious; survival of the past is to be obser- vd. Although detectives guard all ! the doors, the old uniformed bead- les aro also paid for the service. ' From the standpoint of efficiency, these officials are very much in the' way, but as long as tho Bank of England ii.n been io existence the beadles have policed it. Conse- quntly the beadles are allowed to remain I The custom of providing a Htt!e garrison for the bank dates back to 1780, when an attack was made | upon the bank by a mob during the Gordon Riots, picturesquely described in "Barnaby Rudge." It j is said that in the fight that ensued ' between the rioters and the clerks ' of the bank, the latter melted their metal ink-pots for ammunition af- ' ter their supply of bullets had given out. ^ r Mlnard'a Liniment Cures Cargit In Cows. HOW A Ql'EEX PROPOSES. r-j Victoria Tolls of It in Her Recently Published Memoirs. It is always leap-year for reign- ing queens. They must make the first advances, for their position ia ' such that au man of inferior rank , may venture to propose marriage to one of them. Accordingly, Queen Victoria proposed to Prince Albert. How she did it, she herself telly in her recently published memoirs : At about half past twelve o'clock 1 sent for Albert. He came to the closet where I was alone, and, af- ter a few moments, I said to him that I thought he must be aware that I wished him to come here, and that it would make me too happv if he would consent to what I wanted to marry me. We em- braced each other, and ho was so kind and affectionate t I told him that I was quite un- worthy of him. He said he would be very happy, and was so kind, and seemed so happy that I really felt it was the happiest, brightest moment in my life. I told him it was a great sacrifice, which he would not allow. I then told him of the necessity of keping it a secret, except to his father and uncle Leopold and Volk- mar, tu whom he said he would Bend a courier the next day, and also that it was to be as early as the beginning of February. I then told him to fetch Ernest (the Duke of Cumberland), which ho did, and he congratulated us both, and seemed very happy. I feei the happiest of human be- ings : r FARMS FOR SAL*. H. W.

Mlnard's Liniment Cures Dlstampor. Commonly Found. In every city, in every town, in every village there is an under- world, where poverty, sickness, in- ability are to be commonly found. How to abolish this underworld is the problem engaging many minds. In the past rich folk, and kind folk who wr not rich, took notice of poor folk no less than they do uow, and untold charity flowed forth. But only a few visionaries dream- ed that the underworld could ever be abolished. To-day, however, is an age not remarkable for vision- aries, the question is being pushed persistently. "Is it unavoidable that millions of human creatures should live in chronic starvation?" and an increasing number of peo- ple answer "No." Whether these people are right time alone can tell, and that time is still far distant. But the thing to be thankful for is that a change ia taking place, in the point of view. Papa's Waterloo. Younar Popp's "Dearest, what did your father say when you told him of our engagement?"
