V iLL nOTHERS lED CONSTANT mMm Their Strength is Taxed and They are Victims of Weak- ness and Suffering. When there is a growing family to care for and the mother falls ill it is It serious matter. Many mothers who are on the go from morning to night, whose work, apparently, is never done, try to disguise their suffering and keep up an appearance of cheer- fulness before their family. Only themselves know how they are dis- tressed by backaches and headaches, dragging down pains and nervous weakness; how their nights are often sleepless, and they arise to a new day's work tired, 'depressed and quite unrefreshed. Such women should know that their sufferings are usually due to lack of good nourishing blood. They should know that the one thing they need above all others to give them new health and strength is rich, red blood, and that among all medi- cines there is none can equal Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills for their blood-mak- ing, health-restoring qualities. Every suffering woman, every woman with a home and family to care for should give these pills a fair trial, for they will keep her in health and strength and make her work easy. Mrs. G. Strasser, Acton West, Ont., says: "I am the mother of three children, and after each birth I became terribly run down; I had weak, thin blood, always felt tired, and unable to do my house- hold work. After the birth of my third child I seemed to be worse, and was very badly run down. I was ad- vised to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I found the greatest benefit from the Pills and soon gained my old-time MONK'S COLLARS POPULAR. In the fashion world it is just as futile to ask "what will not the de- sigrners think of next?" as it is to ask what they will think of next. The two queries are synonymous, in- asmneh as a designer's field is limit- less and his imagination infinite. One of the latest popular creations is the No. 9141.

Herr Anton Fendrich, well known among German Socialists, describes in an article published in the Frank- furter Zeitung a conversation which he had with the Kaiser in the field. The main point revealed by Herr Fen- drich is the declaration that the Kai- ser is certain that France is doomed. The writer in this connection says: "Nobody will suppose that the opin- ions of the Kaiser agree in all points with those of a man of the Left, but in two cases there was perfect accord between us. The first was when the I conversation turned upon the French, j Here the Kaiser's sorrow was my; sorrow. The Kaiser speaks quite pure j French and had hoped, like all of us, [ and especially us people from Baden, '' that with France first of all an agree- THIS THEFT WON A MEDAL. British Officer Stole Over a Ton of Germans! Explosives. News reached Blackburn, England, recently, that Lieut. W. Cooper, an old Flackburn amateur footballer, has beer decorated at the front with the Mill ary Cross for an act of remark- able ciolness and resource. Ht was living a mine 192 yards long uuuer the German position, and had got within a few yards of his ob- jective, when he broke into a German mine crammed with high explosives. For a moment he thought his party were doomed, but he quickly cut the wires leading to the German trenches, and sending back for help proceeded to carry away the enemy's explosives piecemeal. As the tunnel was very low, he and his men lay head to feet and passed the stuff back from hand to hand. The task occupied twelve hours, there being one ton and a half of explo- sives. No mishap occurred, but five of Lieut. Cooper's men were rendered unconscious by fumes, and four of them received the D.C.M. for their share in this remarkable feat. Hia Specialty.

If parents will give just a little In telligent thought to the feeding of their children the difference health of the little folks will pay, many times over, for the small trou- ble. A mother writes: "Our children are all so much better and stronger than they ever were before we made a change in the character of the food. We have quit using potatoes three times a day with coffee and so much meat. "Now we give the little folks some fruit, either fresh, stewed, or canned, some Grape-Nuts with cream, occa- sionally some soft-boiled eggs, and some Postum for breakfast and sup- per* Then for dinner they have some meat and vegetables. "It would be hard to fully describe the change in the children, they have grown so sturdy and strong, and we attribute this change to the food ele- ments that, I understand, exist in Grape-Nuts and Postum.

The very sanctum of British con- servatism, the Bank of England, has been invaded by women clerks. More than 200 of them are now employed in the bank in various forms of cleri- cal work. While it is the war that gave women the opportunity of re- placing men of military age, it is also war that created additional work at the bank through the war loan busi- ness. Women have been employed in the bank of England in the humble note- sorting capacity since 1895, but they had never before done clerical work. They often put in as much as 12 hours a day. Other English banks, it is stated, now contemplate following the lead of the Bank of England, which, despite its former prejudice against women, has been historically known as the "Old Lady of Threadneedle Street." ->- Flaxseed Now a Wonderful Hu- man Food. as deodorized and used in Dr. Jack- son's Roman Meal.
