SAME SYMPTOMS IN MANY CASES A Lesson in Self -Reliance An Anaemic Condition Easily Recognized â€" Calk for a '^ mood Builder. ' pre: In most caaas of anaemia the symp- ^nu are abaoat the aame. The tnt- irer growi pale and la eaallr tired |tfter tbe leaat exertion. The appe- Mte la fleklo and the patient loses In jveisht Sometimea there are bead- Aflhea, and often Inability to Bleep VeU. As the blood Incomes thinner Iha aynptoms become more pro- hooneed and often there are fainting •pells. AU thla ahowa that tbe blood la thin and watery, and at the very â- rat aymptom of thla condition the laUent ahonld Uke Dr. Williams' Plnh Pills, the moat reliable blood- knllder and nerve tonlo known. The sole mlaaion of thla medicine ia to enrich the blood and when that la d(;pe all the diatresalng aymptoms disappear. Among those who have reason to pralae thla medicine la Mrs. U. E3. Patterson, Shanklln, N.B., who says: â€" "About four years ago I be- came very much run down, I could not eat, sleep nor rest, and I grew so nervous that the smallest things would annoy me. Eventually I grew â- 0 weak that I did not have strength io move about without help. I was fust a miserable wreck, and became very much discouraged as I had tried many medicines which failed to help me. In this wretched state a friend arged mo to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I did so an4 before long found they were helping me. Gladly I con- tinued taking the pills until I fully regained my health and strength and I have since continued In the best of health. LAter my daughter became anaemic and six boxes of the pills re- stored her to health, strength and eolor. Naturally, I consider Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills a blessing to weak, rundown people." You can get these pills through any dealer In medicine, or by mall at 60 centa a box from Tbe Dr. Williams Medicine o., BrockviUe, Ont.

J6EW HowMuchlWaiep Should Baby Get? '^RonousAudiority's'Rule *BylluthBrlUain Baby specialists aeree nowadays, Ihatduring the first six months, babies mutt have three ounces of fluid per pound of body weight dally. An i-ight pound baby, for instance, needa twon- ty-four ounces of fluid. Later on tbe ♦rule ia two ounces or fluid per poun'l of body weight. The amount of fluid absorbed by a breast fed baby Is best determined by weighing him before and after feeding for the whole day; and it is easily calculated for the bot- tle fed one. Then make up any de- flclency with water. Giving baby sufficient water often relieves his feverish, crying, upset and restless spells. If it doesn't, give him a few drops of Fletcher's Castorla. Ry)r these and other Ills of babies and children such as colic, cholera, tlarrhea, gas on stomach and bowels, constipation, sour stomach, loss of sleep, underweight, etc., leading physicians say there's nothing so ef- fective. It Is purely vegetableâ€" the recipe Is on the wrapperâ€" and millions of mothers have depended on it In over thirty years of ever Increasing nse.

MDtatn thirty-Bve J;i^r, '^"'•« 1i«UE We. 22â€" 'ai ~ One may see anything in London if be waits long enough â€" anything whatever; because that city is a com- pendium of the round world and a aummatlon of history. It is a good place, therefore, in which to practice Horace's nil admirarl by being sur- prlaed at nothing, and an equally good place for the ^equal wisdom, of find- ing everything strange and new. Thla is the reason why London has been so rich In philosophers, who are never surprised, and also in poets, who always are. Anything can hap- pen there, and eventually everything does happen. A Londoner may have been bo lulled by humdrumi days as to conclude with Hamlet that all Is "stale, flat, and unprofitable upon this sterile promontory, the earth," and then one morning â€" well, let me cite an example. I was standing at the comer of Southampton Row and Tavistock Square, watting for a conveyance to take me northward. ' The great street was flowing like a stream In spate with tazlcahs, buses, and automobiles all making steadily southward. Hoots and cries, rumble and road of wheels, screaming of brakes, filled the morn- ing air. As I looked down the thoroughfare it seemed to be tightly packed with vehicles from curb to curb. All London had decided, ap- parently, to travel down Southamp- ton Row to Klngsway and the Strand, so that If any recalcitrant person should wish to go in the opposite direction he would have to wait. It seemed, for the turn of the human tide. One huge purpose was work- ing there, and anyone who set him- self against that would soon learn how little a single man counts against all men. Wlhats Coming? But wait! What Is happening far down there by Russell Square? is there not a slight rift in the solid mass of traffic, as though someone or something had mightily determined, cost what it might, to come this way? Who can hs^-e had the temerity to set his puny purpose against all these thousands? .\nd yet It is clear that a different idea, some sturdy bit of individualism is struggling down there with the concerted mass of opinion. Someone intends to get to Euston Station in spite of tbe fifty thousand others who hold with per- fect unanimity that the only thing to do is to get to Klngsway and the Strand. A thrilling thing it Is, al- ways, to see one purpose pit itself against thousands. And look, now. The traffic that was a solid mass be- fore, wedged tight from side to side of the road, has somehow managed to leave a free channel. The huge buses I achieve wonders of agility in wrig- gling oft toward the curbstones, and taxicabs dart away Into side streets which a moment ago they would have disdained. Who or what can It be that is shown such deference? Is it a police patrol? Is It a donkey cart? Is it the King? I cannot yet be sure, for the buses still block the nearer view. What- ever is moving there Is no hurry; It comes on no faster than a man might walk, dividing the traffic before it as a whale does tbe waves of the sea. But now, at last, there it Is! Now I un- derstand. A. vast and lofty brow, serene, majestic, Imperturable, looms all at once above the hubbub. One glance at that lofty forehead explains why the crowd of vehicles opened so obsequiously below and why the lit- tle taxicabs darted off into obscure byways. If I had been a taxlcab bound along Southampton Row for the City and I had met an elephant coming up Southampton Row en route for the Euston Station, I should prob- ably have adopted the same prudent course. An African King For there Is an air of command about that massive brow that is not to be lightly gainsaid, and there is a look of absolute self-sufllcleney In the small determined eyes which seems to say: "I am bound northward for reasons that seem good to me, and I propose to move in that direction at my own accustomed pace. If all Lon- don chooses to go at the same time In the opposite direction, that Is Lon- don's privilege, but London will have to make room for me." And behold, London does make room. How composed and collected the huge beast Is as he shuffles past me on the flexible trees be uses for legs, looking sagaciously out of his little eyes at the most wonderful city men have made, as though he had taken our measure and was not at all Im'- pressed. How small and trivial and hurried a man looks beside this ma- jestic animal. Yes, any manâ€" even a policeman. Directly before the ele- phant now, In the very path of his irresistible march, stands the stately ofllcial who directs the traffic of the street. Motors are banked up twenty deep on either side of the row, honk- ing Impatiently for their turn to cross. What will the stately oflScial do now. he who has never been at, a loss before? What signal, \f\]\ he give In this situation^ ^ich is cer- Ulnly unproTldeji f^. in his code of tastructlo^V Oh, If he would only ', aoM up that mighty white-gloved hand to the elephant and bid him to stop, 10 that we might see the rare spect- Mle of the iTresIstible force confront- log the immoTable posti But no, that t spectacle is denied us, for he is an Bnglish policeman and the English always temper their law and logic with common sense. He makes no signal whatever, but retires with as much dignity as possible to one side of the street while the elebhant, who | Is dignity Incarnate, tramps on with- out a second's pause. All things con- sidered, I feel that the policeman chose wisely. Happy Philosopliy And now the clutches grip the gears once more and the wheels be- gin to roll. On the faces of the peo- ple in the street I see no more sur- prise than there would be If Sout- hampton Row were a run leading to a saltlick In Central Africa and a thoroughfare for elephants. I re- flect that probably all these people are philosophers, who know that "tvery- thlncr whatever is to be seen in Lon- don sooner or later and that there- fore an elephant was to be expected. My own philosophy Is not so complete, however, that I can forbear gazing after the huge gray shape that Is shambling leisurely toward St. Pan- eras Church. WJ-at thoughts are his.

If he does, then It Is not strange that he should Ignore even the dignity of a traffic police- man. What a seasoned and veteran traveler he must be, moreover! He who has sailed the seven seas and tramped the flve continents, who has ridden thousands of miles In box cars and has been hoisted out of steam- ships Innumerable times by specially constructed derricks â€" such an ele- phant, certainly, has got past marvel- ing at Southampton Row. Or perhaps I he has long been a London citizen, I and so Is a philosopher by natural I right. I The Moral "Trust thyself," says Emerson; "every heart resounds to that iron string." Well, one heart does at any rale, and to me that steady march of the great gray elephant right against the whole current of the morning's traffic was a perfect symhol of the purpose that always finds a way. Never hesitating, never for an in- stant doubting that the throng would open before hlhi, he kept "in the midst of the crowd, with perfect sweetness, the independence of soli- tude." That Is the way in which great things are done, and not by flaccidly deciding that the way everyone is go- ing must, of course, he the right way for one to go. Of course, one may say that tbe problem of Independence is somewhat simiplifled if one weighs several tons and stands ten or twelve feet high, hut mere bulk is not the essential thing. A donlcey scarcely larger than a Newfoundland dog would have had the same success If he had been actuated by the same in- domitable purpose. Indeed, I am con- fidently expecting to see a donkey pit himself some day against all the southward-setting traffic of Southamp- ton Row, in London, where every- thing happens. « break up a cold, allay fever, correct sour stomach and banish the irrita- bility that accompanies the cutting of teeth.

LEONARD, INC. 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City At Six Bells This is not a sea story, as the title might suggest, but the story of a holi- day In Switzerland. It is a very old custom and Is celebrated during the last of April. The Guilds of Zurich bum up winter, which they think has lasted long enough! A huge bonfire is laid In the square before the Opera House, and on top of It is placed what looks like a large- snowman, but he is In reality built of chicken wire stuffed with fireworks' and covered with white paper. The guilds â€" and there must be about 20 â€" all meet, arrayed In the most gorgeous costumes, each union having its own ceremonial uniform, some of which are preserved in the museum and used only on this day. The procession marches Into the square and groups around tbe bon- fire â€" after circling slowly and Im- pressively around It â€" and the towns- people on foot form a ring on the out- side. When the clock strikes six the flre Is lighted, and as It burns the men and horses commence to circle about, going taster and faster. Then the snowman catches fire and begins to blow up, and everyone loins in the cheering, for winter has gone. Finally, bunches of flowers are ithrown and the cry goes up that sum- mer has begun. <. Closing House Preparing for a vacalon in the sum- mer may be a mere matter of pack- ing but your thrifty housewife knows It involves much more than that. Here are a few of the more imiportant things that must be done. Lock all the windows, and if there is no open flreplaoe, fasten a top floor window open at the top for circula- tion. To forestall spontaneous com- bustion, place floor dusting mopheads In covered tin cans, burn oily polish- ing cloths and throw out any paper and light trash that may have collect- ed. Blankets, if they are first clean- ed and sprayed with insecticide, are safely stored in chest or linen closet. Ranges should he given a thorough cleaning and coated with stove oil to guard against rust. Motors must he oiled, vacuum cleaner bags emptied. If you have a mechanical refrigerator, pull out the electrical plug or turn out the gas. Poods and soaps should be left In mouseproof containers, the flour bin should be emptied and all paper packages replaced by Jars or cans. Furnishings, of course, need protection against dust, moths, and sunlight. Old slip covers suflflce for wicker, while over-stuffed furniture should be vacuum cleaned and spray- ed with insecticide and put out ot reach of the sun. The windows I should be hung with clean old cur ' tains. Carpets and rugs ATb safer on I the floor, with the shade half drawn, , than when they are rolled up and put away. I li'Inally. notify the local police de- ' partment that there Is to be a vacant house. When you leave, make sure, by curtaining the windows, and pull- ing the shades only halfway down, that the house does not look vacant. » MInard'a Liniment for Toothache. Western Islands of Scotland Have Grave Grievance British Postmaster-General's Proposals Opposed by All Parties in Parliament London. â€" Western islands of Scot- land, the defects ot whose sea com- munication have been a grievance to those associated with that part of the world tor a generation are at last to be completely overhauled. This is the outcome ot a spirited debate in the House of Commons, in which such strong opposition from members of all parlies was shown to the Postmaster-General's proposals for a new contract with the existing steamer .service, that the Government agreed to withdraw the scheme and appoint a select committee to inves- tigate the entire question of the traffic along the coast and to the islands. In the debate, Frederick Masquis- ten for Iho Conservatives told of two horses having to be sold to meet tbe freightage of 12 stable companions. Walter Ruuciman, for the LlberalK. referred to fish sent to Manchester selling for 19s. 6d. which cost £1 2s. 6d. to carry there, and quoted Sir Harry Lauder for the statement that farmers refused to send cattle hy the steamers. James MacPherson. another Lib- eral, said that the average ace of the existing steamers was- 68 years, null- ing from a "Patriarch" of 84 to it "flapper" ot IS.
