The days aro change- ableone bright, the next one cold and stormy, that the mother is afraid to take the children out for the fresh air and exercise they need so much In consequence they are often coop- ed up In overheated, badly ventilated rooms and are soon seized with colda or grippe. What is needed to keep the little ones well la Boby'ii Own Tablets. They will regulate the stomach and bowels and drive out ru'ds and by their use the b&by will be able to get over the winter season in perfect safety. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co.. Brockville, Oat. STATUE OF EGYPTIAN KING.

Lots of headaches, Icta of weari- ness, bad temper, and "nerves" eoma from eyestrain, and in such oases nothing but skilled and careful atten- tion will remedy these disorders. If day after day, niht after niht, you are straining or overtasking your eyes sooner or later small dtoord- ers grow to large ones. Sooner or later your eyes will have srio. per- haps, permanent defects. If "things don't seem to be nor- mal" If your eyes "don't fael ex- actly right" why not find out definite- ly what is wrong and have It cor- rected now? Go to ycnir optroma- trist or eye specialist. Let him make an examination of your eyes and find out for sure if they are the eowce of your trouble. Don't be certain because you can see the Jones' house awa/y down the street that your eyes are perfect, for tlire are many fair-sighted people who need glasses badly to car* nerve strain. If you wLsh to have a question an- swered regarding your eyas, write di- rect to Dr. Brown, I Adelaide t. Bast. Toronto, and the answer will be giv- en In Uiis department. Can cross-eyes' be straighened without operation? In four cases out of flv operation is unnecessary, although some spec- ialists of the <-ld school still balieve in cutting one of the ocular muscle*.
