<â- .? i. NEGIfCTED^ANAEMA Often Leads to tho Most Serious Consequrnces. In no disorder Is delay or neglect more dangerous than In anaemia. Usually the first noticeable signs are pale lips and cheeks, dark rims under the eyes and a feeling of weariness. Then follow headaches, backaches, palpitation and breathlessness. The only way that anaemia can be over- - come is to enrich the blood, and it Is because of their wonderful blood-en- riching and blood-making properties that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have won such great success in the treat- ment of this often most stubborn dis- ease. Thousands of young girls who were in an anaemic condition owe their pre- sent good health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. One of these, Miss Katie McEachern, Port Hood, N.S., says: â€" "I praise the day 1 began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I had not been feeling well for some time. I was very pale, had severe headaches, dizzy spells, and occasional fainting spells. The least e.\ertiou would leave me tired and breathless. In this condition I began taking Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, r continued their use until I had taken six boxes, by which time I was again enjoying good health. I hope my experience will lead other sufferers to give this medi- cine a fair trial." If you are at all run-down, or weak, you should begin at once to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and you will soon be well and strong. These pills are sold by medicine dealers or will be sent by mail at 50 cents a box by The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- rille, Ont. Need <i{ Forest Policy Few people realize the urgent need which exists for a forest policy la Canada. The economic facts are that ithe forest is second only to agri- culture in production of commodity values, and it contributes to-day one- quarter of Canada's total export trade. Thwefore, continued depletion of raw materials essential to the well- being of the forest industries is a direct menace to our national pros- perity. ^> YES OR NO A parliamentary candidate in a rural district made the following remark in •he course of his address: "There is no question in the world which I can- not answer with just 'yes' or 'no'." An old farm laborer jumped up and said: "Please, maister, might I ask 'e I question?" "Certainly, my good fellow," said lihe candidate. "Well, then, maister," s^id the ;old farm hand, "what's the time?" * The influx of Mexican peons into the United States would Indicate that there is on» border of that country that oeeds hemming.

CutG in aBaby- 'Awful at Three -and it's Dangerous^ by 23u th Brittaiit Must Develop Empire Markets Empty Spaces of Dominions Need More British People EMIGRATION London Paper Says Prosperity of Workers Depends on Policy London.â€" The first tangible results of the post-war trend will be seen In four or live years' time," says the Lon- don Dally Express, "when the recruit- ment of labor will be considerably de- creased. At the saifie time, the new scheme of pensions at sixty-five means an Inevitable cutting down In num- bers at the other end of the labor scale. The Immediate result wll be a tak- ing up of the slack in tho unemploy- ment line and a sense of well-being throughout the ranks of he employed. Unfortunately the situation will not be allowed to rest there. Under the pressure of the birth control cam- paign, unless it is checked, the birth rate will continue to fall. Fanciful as it may Beem, we might eventually come to a labor shortage â€" a consum- mation to be hoped for only until the full consequences are seen. Even the prospect of imported labor is not be- yond the realm of probability. But in the years ahead the pros- perity of the country, and particularly of the Industrial workers, depends supremely on one factor â€" the power to develop and hold the Empire mar- kets. To do that the vast empty spaces of the Dominions must be populated by a preponderance of tho British race. There is no other way. We have carved our own destiny acr a nation- bearing people. We must send out from these islands not thousands but tens of thousands of our men and wo- men every year. It Is the price and opportunity and glory of Empire siti- zenship. .Shorn of the FTmpire â€" and unless we can ptople nv.r no.^iinions we will uot hold them â€" \vc sink in importance and power and wealth until oncG more our industries will not support ^ the population, no matter how the birth rate has reduced its numbers. These are crude facts presented without elaboration or sentimentalism. But as a people we have never lacked the courage to think in decades rath- er than in days. It Is that sense of the centuries, so markedly the British heritage, taht should point the human and national warning of the empty cradle. Statistician's View. "H.F.H.," In the first number of The Statistician, the organ of the Society of Statisticians and Accountants, writets about an overlooked "fallacy" of the birth and death statistics pub- lished from time to time. "Standard- ized" death-rates are those which would have been recorded if the sex and age constitution of the population had been the same as in 1901. He says : Throughout the country, local au- thorities are reporting, with satisfac- tion, rapidly declining death rates. In England and Wales the rate (stand- ardized), per 1,000 of the population has fallen consistently, as the follow- ing figures show; Average: 1871-1880, 20.3; 1881-90, 18.6; 1891-1900. 18.1; 190110. 15.2; 1911-20, 13.5; 1921-25, 10.9; year 1926, 10.1. Not so happy though â€" at least so many people believe â€" Is the compara- tively rapid fall of the birth-rate, which has declined as follows: Average: 1871-18880, 35.4; 1881-90, 32.4; 1891-1900, 29.9; 1901-10. 27.2; 1911-20, 21.8; 1921-25, 19.9; year 192«. 17.8. The majority of reviewers of the vital statistics find consolation In tho fact that the "survival rate" â€" that is the births minus deaths â€" is still on the right side. This argument is all very well so long as the death-rate re- is good tea Red Rose Orange Pekoe IS IS supreme In clean, bright Aluminum. Unable to support prope'rly his wife and nine children on the wages of a blast furnaceman, and discouraged by conditions in the Old Country, Thomas Booth of Scunthorpe, Lines., looks to Canada to give him a return more com- mensurate with his labors. Having had considerable farm experience he decided to emigrate and he arrived in Canada this week on the White Star liner Calgaric. He will work a farm at Emo, Ont. mains at the present low figure, or further declines. Here, however, lies the fallacy. The lieglstrar-General's department has calculated that the average expec- tation of life of every child born is, according to the new life tables, 55.6 years for males and 59.8 years for fe- males, which Is some seven years longer than the experience of fifteen years before, and 12 years longer than a generation ago. Yet the death-rate is 10.1 per 1,000 of the population "standardized,' or 11.6 "crude." This gives an average age at death on the present population of 86 years on the 'crude" rate, and nearly 100 on the "standardized"! How, then, can the expectation of life figure be reconciled with the aver- age age at death as measured by the present death-rate? It cannot; it is only a question of time before the two figures come more nearly into agree- ment. The next forty years will prove this contention. More Deaths. The death-rate cannot remain at its present low figure; the greater longe- vity of the population is masking the true po.silion, a longevity which fol- lows a score of years of great health reforms, leaving so much less scope for similar improvement in the future. The most remarkable improvement has been made in the saving of child life; for instance, the "standardized" death-rate per 1,000 of the age-group to 5 years has declined from 66.0 in 1895 and 51.2 in 1906 to 23.3 in 1926. Even if specific cures for the prin- cipcl couses of death, such as heart disease, bronchitis, pneumonia, can- cer, diseases of nervous system and tuberculosis, are found, it remains nothing short of a Utopian idea to ex- pect an average age at death to ex- ceed three score and ten. Eventually a "standardized" death- rate of about 14 per 1,000 (for 15 to 15 "crude" must obtain by which time the birth-rate will. In ail probability, have falleu to that figure, if not be- low. NO MEDICINE UKE BABY'S OWN TABLETS For Either the Newborn Babe or the Growing Child. There is no other medicine to equal ' Baby's Own Tablets for little ones â€" whether It be for the new born babe j or the growing child the Tablets al- ways do good. They are absolutely I free from opiates or other harmful drugs and the mother can always feel safe in using them. I Concerning the Tablets, Mrs. John ! Armour, R.R. 1, South Mouagban, Ont., says: â€" "We have three fine, healthy children, to whom, when a medicine Is needed, we have given only Baby's Own Tablets. The Tab- lets are the best medicine you can keep in any home where there are young children." Baby's Own Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the I stomach and bowels; banish constipa- tion and indigestion; break up colds I and simple fever and make teething ' easy.

Value of Shelterbelts The planting of shelterbelts on prairie farms In Western Canada has given appre<;iiible results from an agricultural standpoint. The water- conserving power of the soil has been increased; better crops have resulted; and the protection from extremes of temperature and wind movements has enabled the introduction of the hardier fruits in many localities. Of particular importance is the addi- I tional moisture secured through the ' formation of snow drifts which, melt- j ing gradually in the spring, provide ] water after adjoining treeless areas have largely dried up.
