SPRING BLOOD IS WATERY BLOOD Bow to Get New Health and 'â-  Wew Strength at This Season Spring ailmentfi are nob Imagi- "nary. Even tJie most robust find the -winter months most trying to their health. Confineraent indoors, often in overheated and nearly al- "W&ya badly ventilated roomsâ€" in the home, the office, the slhop and the school â€" t&xea the vitality of even the strongest. The blood be- comes thin and watery and is clog- ged with impurities. Some people have headaches and a feeling of languor. Others are low-spirited and nervous. Still otibers are trou- bled with disfiguring pimple* and skin eruptions; while some get up' in the morning feeling just as tired as when they went to bed. These are all spring symptoms that the blood Ls out of order and that a xnedicine is needed. Many people take purgative medicines in the spring. This is a serious mistake. You cannot cure yourself with a medicine that gallops through your •jstera and leaves you weaker still. This is all that a purgative does. What you need to give you health and strength in the spring is a tonic medicine that will enrich the blood and soothe the jangled nerves. And the one always re- liable tonic and blood builder is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These Pills not only banish spring weak- ness but guard you against the more serious ailments that follow, •uch as anaemia, nervous debility, Indigestion, rheumatism and other diseases due to bad bloo<^. In proof of this Mrs. D. E. Hughes, Hazenniore, Sask., says: "About a year ago I was badly run down, my nerves were all unstrung, and I could not go up stairs without stop- Fling to rest. As I was a long ways rom a doctor I decided to take Dr. Wi!liam.s' Pink Pills, and in the course of a few weeks I felt like a new person. .\s an all round restorative I cam heartily recom- mend this medicine." If you are ailing this spring you ranaiot afford, in your own interest, to overlook so valuable a medicine as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

Bake your cakes on flue-cleaning lay. .Aid on the day before scrub the oven out with hot soda water. Make a pint of whitewash with a smtaJl cake of whiting, and white- wash the interior of the oven. The ddfference is extraordinary. Sieve the flour, and warm it. It may be dajnp. and, if not, warmed flour makes prize cake. Beat yolks and whites of eggs separately, and add the whites last of everything. Put sultanas, etc., in a colander and pour hot water through. This cleajisce, makes the fruit swell and juicy, and partly cooks it. Never "drops" either. Dry afterwards in the oven. If j\)U are following a recipe, do not guess quantities; weif^h accur- 'ately. Don't "rub" butter into flour. Melt it and cream it. Much bet- ter. Dissolve carbonate of soda in a little warm milk. This provides for its even distribution. If your mixture is too' wet, sift, quickly and evenly, warm flour and finely grated diy breadcrumbs over it. The equivalent of two eggs is a dessertsjHKiaiful of vinegar in a gill of milk. A teaspoonful of glycerine makes a cake very light. Butter your cake tin well, and line with proper pa- per, buttered. If y\>ur tin is old, stand it on Band to prevent burning. If "gas" cooking, cover the cake tin with one same size, rim on rim. When the cake lias riseji and begun tf> brown, move it to <.\.vi)ler tray. To test if done, run a skewer into the raiddlie of the cake, but not through it. If it oonies out dean, the c^ke is done. Two lumps of sugar in your oven VUl brown a cake without burning. A basin of cold water will cool a hot oven. Put at bottom. A burnt cAke, but not done, should \\ixv» burnt part removed, aitd place covered with beaten egg ajnd brown sugar. Stand cake on sievo when oooked. Cut out thie cohimn and paste up iiiside your paaitry tloor. You will find it very helpful â€" es;pecial!y if you are a beginnerâ€" to have it al- ways at band.

The present conflict in Europe has demonstrated beyond the possi- bility of doubt that the mainten- ance of Britain's superiority at sea, and the expansion oi the wheat areas in British Dominions, have been linked together as basic fac- tors in the consideration of plans for Imperial offense and defence. The lawmakers in London, as a matter of policy, have allowed no- thing to interfere with the building up of an all-powerful navy, and they have steadfasdy ignored the protests of Englishmen who have contended that Great Britain would be in an impossible position if a war should develop with » power- ful maritime power. There were numerous men in England who be- lieved that in the event oif an im- portant European struggle involv- ing Great Britain, 'the hunger of London would dictate terms of peace." But the Admiralty were convinced that the sea power of Britain would keep all the routes open for foodstuffs. The lands in the British Isles which might have been devoted to the growth of more wheat were Left as before, and the investors of Britain by placing their funds in the bonds of railways in Canada, in South .Africa, in -Aus- tralia, and in New Zealand, where vast stretches oif fertile country re- mained to be opened up encourag- ed the production of a steady sup- ply of foodstuffs which might be called upon in case of emergency. The under-water craft of Germany have failed to throttle the shipping of Great Britain. Her ships ccme and go almost as they please. And the resources of wheat lands, in themselves many times the area of the British Isles are available for the need of the people of Britain. la facilitating the expansion of the various companies in the Do- minion during the last thirty years, the successive governments, federal and provincial, have enabled Can- ada to take up the burden of a greater production in this year of the Empire's peril. Canada is meas- uring up to her advertised destiny as the "Granary of the Empire, " or, more emphatic still, "Bread Basket of the World." The prophe- cies of leaders of thought for three decades are on the verge of fulfill- ment. The large exportable sur- plus of the wheat fields in Canada will go to feed a fair proportion of the dependent millions of England, and probably the war-harassed Bel- gians as well. The railway lines which have been constructed east and west and north and south throughout the country have made her present position possible. With- out these essential traffic arteries the Dominion would have been merely- a helpless spectator while the greatest war in history rumb- led through to a conclusion. Can- ada's most important contribution to the cause of Empire is in wheat and flour and bread. The bulk of supplies of Canadian wheat for export are drawn each year from the wheat fields of the prairie provinces. The total sup- ply may be computed by a study of the carryings of the railways. Dur- ing the crop year 1913-4, the Can- adian Northern alone handled from the territory served by its western lines, 47,295,000 bushels. Estimat- ing the increase this year at 20 per cent., this road should haul out approximately 56,750,000 bushels of wheat from the provinces lying be- tween the Great Lakes and the Rivcky Mountains. That quantity j>f wheat, converted successively into flour, and into standard loaves of bread, would feed Greater London, with its estimated p*.ipulation of 7,- 252,963, for more than four and a half years. So long as Britain holds command of the seas, the available supply of foodstuffs from Canada alone should suffice to overcome the handicap her critics maintain she imposed u{x>n herself by producang but a quarter of the wheat she an- nually consumes. It All Came From Strain and Cold BIT G. K, MACDONALD FOUND BELIEF IN DODD'S KID- NEY PILLS. Nova Scotia Man After Fifteen Years' Sutterins Found a Cure Through Reading an .Advertise- ment. Harrigan Cove, Halifax Co., N. S., April 19th (Special).â€" After suf- fering for fifiten years from lame back and kidney trouble Mr. George K. MacDonaki. a we^J- known resident of this place, is telling his neighbors of the great benefit he has received from using Dodd's Kidney Pills. "My trouble started from a strain and a cold,"' Mr. MacDonald states. "I was troubled with stiff- ness of the joints and cramps in the muscles. My sleep was broken and unrefresihing, my limbs were heavy and I had a dragging sensa- tion across the loins. "My back ached and I suffered from rheunoatism, when reading an advertisement led me to try Dodds Kidney Pill*. "I am only too pleased to say that the treatment was successful. Dodd's Kidney Pills have done me a great deal of good." Mr. Mac Donald's symptoms show that he was troubled with Kidney disease. That's why Dodd's Kid- ney Pills cured him.

Fill any large vessel, such as an old bucket or tin bowl, half full of earth, and stand I it in the centre of the room on an j old metal tray. Lay a piece of pa- i per on the top of the earth, and I pour onto this a pound of common i sulphur or brimstone. Close all the I windows, and push a mass of , crumpled newspapers up the chim- 1 I neys, set the projecting edges of the paper alight in several places. so that it might ignite the sulphur. Leave the room, closing the door j tightly. -A. mat laid on the outside will prevent the fumes escaping from the room. If the room is dis- infected after a serious illness brown paper should be pasted over the edges of the window and dmir. and left for twelve hours after the sulphur has burnt out. After that time the windows should be opened and left open for twenty-four hours. The fumes of sulphur will destroy the colors of most fabrics, and therefore during any sickness of an infectious nature nothing should be used in the way of hangings e.xcepc such as can be disinfected after- wards. All bedding should be sent to a professional disinfector. The sanitary or health authorities in a town will generally give particu- lars of this work, and see that it is done. All wallpaper in a room must be stripped off and destroyed, a fresh paper being put on its place. Old paper is in itself a great cause of infection, and a new paper should never be pasted over an old one. This should always be remov- ed beforehand. Rough on Tommy. The mails from home had just been received by a certain regi- ment. Not only were there letters, but many parcels from relatives and friends at home for lucky soil- diers.

"From the old man ; I knows it. An' there's sure to ibe a bottle or two of Scotch." He opened the box, gave one look at the contents and colla^jsed iu a heap.

"The germ of whooping cough was discovered by Bordet and Gen- gou, two French bacterologists. It grows in the air passages leading to the iungs, and the presence of masses of germs en the delicate lin- ing of these passages irritates them and causes the spasmodic cough. A rapid succession of these coughs' catches the breath and the spasm ends in a deep in-rush of air, the ''whoop." The germs are present 'in great' numbers in the spray thrown out! in coughing, particularly during | the early stages of the disease, and they are likely to get smeared over j the hands of the patient while he struggles to get his breath during i the coughing spasm. So the dis- eas» spreads very rapidly by more ! or less direct contact, the germs be- 1 ing passed from mouth to hand and from hand to mouth, or exchanged , on pencils, drinking cups and other things which go from mouth to mouth. Whooping cough is a, particularly hard disease to check because the patient is usually up and ab<.'Ut for a period of many weeks and has a much greater ch»nce of spreading germs than if he were is4.i.Iated in bed. Often whooping cough » caught from a child in the early stages before the whoop develops and when people think it has only an ordinary cough. The only safe rule is to keep chil- dren away from other children who have anv cough at all. â-  4> SuLXaes iriaared la rear- ing Baby Cb:clia If yoa feed *boui Purina Chicle fetd Send dea;er • OAine and aijk for part.coiaxii.
