A 'sunbeam is a small thing, yet it has a power to fade the carpets and curtains, to rot the blinds, and for this reason some folk carefully exclude the sunshine. What is the result ? The family is always ailing, the young girls have a waxen white skin and a weary, pinched expression of countenance. Their appetites fail; they fall into such a bad state of health that the doctor is called in. In olden days he would have shaken his head, perhaps, and friends would have whispered; that dreaded word "decline!" Nowadays he notés the pale gums and waxen skin, and says I "anaemia"; prescribes iron and milk, j fresh air and exercise, and often a j change. If he knows nothing about ; the darkened rooms he will be puzzled j as to why no permanent improvement manifests itself, and possibly the patient patient will seek other advice.

I spoke to three doctors about it and they did not help, her any_- Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound Compound had "been of great benefit to me, so I decided to have her give it a trial. She has taken five bottles of the Vegetable Vegetable Compound according according to directions on the bottle and she is cured of this trouble. She was all run down when she started taking the Compound and her periods did not come right. She was so poorly and weak that I often had to help her dress herself, but now she is regular and is growing strong and healthy. " -- Mrs. Marti*? Helvig, Plover, Iowa. Hundreds of such letters expressing gratitude for the good Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound has accomplished accomplished are constantly being received, proving the reliability of this grand old remedy. If you are ill do not drag along and continue to suffer day in and day out but at once take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Vegetable Compound, a woman's remedy for woman's ills. Earache. There is no pain in the world much harder to bear with equanimity than earache. Some pains seem, by reason reason of their locality, to be much nearer nearer to us than others, and earache has a peculiarly "intimate" character; so that all humanity groans in sympathy sympathy whenever it is mentioned. Earache Earache can result from several causes; the most usual cause is acute inflammation inflammation of the middle ear. But it may also be caused by the pressure of a boil or "abscess, or by excess of wax in the ear, or by inflammation of a decayed tooth extending upward to the ear. Several things can be done to relieve relieve the pain of an attack, and several several other things are often done, although although most unwisely. First aid in these cases 'should never take the form of syringing. Nothing' is more common in a case of earache than for a well-meaning relative to rush for the syringe and subject the victim to what may happen to be the very worst treatment in the world A CANADIAN TWI LIGHT--MAY, 1915; By One Unfit; \ Peace . . . peace . . . the peace of dusky shores And tremulous waters where dark shadows lie- The stillness of low sounds--the ripple's urge ' Along the keel, the distant thrush's call The drip of oars; the calm of dew-filled air- The peace of after-glow; the golden peace ' °± the moon's finger laid across the flood. .

If our factories were as they were a year ago we should be quite incapable of meeting the enormous enormous demand. Our loss would have been America's gain. But the vast changes in our engineering . works that have perforce had to be made during the past year of war give us every chance of profiting by the trade that will come with the signing of the treaty of peace. A man of broad views, the Minister of Munitions, we may be sure, sees something more in the twenty-six vast national munitions, factories that are being built in various engineering engineering centres throughout the coun- ' try, than a capacity to produce such a superabundance of shell as will inevitably inevitably crush the enemy. He sees in those admirably equipped factories the opportunity for trade development at present undreamed of as soon as the war is over. Here, truly, is a wonderful vision of which the first year of war gives us a glimpse. Of the future of the British engineering industry we may rest well assured. Country. Produce.
