THE COLBORNE EXFr^S, CdP^RNE. ONT.. THURSDAY; JANUARY 6. 1927. WORK WORN PEOPLE 'Find New Health by Improving Their Blood. If you feel run down, It means that your blood is thin and watery, that your vitality is low. You do not sleep well and are tired when you rise in toe morning. You find no pleasure in your meals and are listless and dispirited at your work. You have no energy to enjoy yourself. Thousands of men are run down by anxieties of work. Thousands of women are broken down by their household toil, with tired limbs and aching backs. Thousands of girls are pale, listless and without attraction. It all means the same thing--thin and watery blood, vitality run down, anaemia, poor appetite, palpitating heart, short breath. Do not submit to this. Get new blood and with It new vitality. There is no difficulty in doing this. Dr. Williams' Pink Puis build up and enrich the blood, which brings with it new health and vitality. The man, woman or girl who takes Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is never run down. Their friends notice how energetic they are, what a fine appetite they have and how much they enjoy life. You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. As the Barge Floats. The canal was busy enough. Every now and then we met or overtook a long string of boats, with great green tillers; high sterns with a window on either side of the rudder, and perhaps a jug or a flower-pot in one of the windows; a dingy following behind; a woman busied about the day's dinner, and a handful of children. These barges were all tied one behind the other with tow ropss, to the number ol twenty-five or thirty; and the line was headed and kept in motion by a steamer of strange construction. . . . Of all. the creature® of commercial enterprise, a canal barge is by far the mast delightful to consider. It may spread its sails; and1 then you can see it sailing high above the tree-tops and the wind-mill, sailing on the aqueduct, sailing through the green corn-lands; the most picturesque of things amphibious. Or the horse plods along at a foot-pace as if there were no such thing as business in the world; and the man dreaming at the tiller sees ? spire on the horizon all day j re"- I SNOWSHOE TRAILS IN NORTHERN WOODS Various Blooms.

Mostly boys who take piano lessons, or lessons on other musical instruments, deplore the practice periods.

The time has been--it to, perhatw, >t wholly past--when the words "pleasure" and "education" seemed to Jar with one another. But modem thought is recovering for us an1 old and almost forgotten wisdom. We are learning to see education as the growth of the human powers'... . Just as no one can for long devote hlmeeli even to a game without beginning to take an interest to the technique and evien the'history of it, so for any child who is really a reader the time wlM come when the technique and the history of Literature will .redouble the ln» terest of the book itself. . . . It will be worse than useless to offer either to young or old a guide to the beauties, of Literature or a handbook literary appreciation.
