THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1927, THE ONLY MEDICINE BABY HAS HAD Is What Thousands of Mothers Say of Baby's Own Tablets. Onoe a mother has used Baby's Own (Tablets for her little ones she will use nothing else. Experience teaches her •that they are without an equal for removing baby of any of the many minor ailments which afflict him at one time or another. The Tablets never fail ,be of benefit they cannot possibly do harm as they are guaranteed to be Ifree from all injurious drugs. Concerning Baby's Own Tablets Mrs. Russe-ll Hill. Norwood, Ont., says:--"I shall always have a good word to say for Baby's Own Tablets. I have given !them to our baby girl. In fact they are the only medicine she has ever had and I am proud to say that she took second prize at our baby show. She is eleven months old and weighs 22 pounds. No mother whose child is ipeevlsh or ailing will make a mistake 'in giving Baby's Own Tablets." Baby's Own Tablets are sold by medicine dealera or direct by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.. Brockville, Ont. In intellect, ideals, artistic achievement and muscular prowess, the people of to-day are no better than those of 3,000 years ago, according to Professor Millikan, the world-famous scientist. A little boy, who saw his first white frost the other morning, called to his mother:--"Do come and look; the fairies have sprinkled sugar all over the lawn." Your Body's Telephone System. The system of carrying messages from one point of the human body to another is made up of hundreds of delicate fibres, each about one-tenth the thickness of a human hair. The exchanges that connect the fibres or lines are the brain and the spinal cord. It is a system of astonishing perfection, but, like its Post Office counterpart, subject to "wrong number," "line busy," and "line out of order" troubles. Nerve messages are carried either to our muscles or to our nervous sys-j tern at the rate of 400ft. a second, j Human efficiency mainly consists in the perfect working of this system. The hand which responds to a call a hundredth part of a second quicker than another hand will eventually belong to the man who has outstripped his fellows in his own calling. Electric currents are powerful stimulating agents of the nerves. They have the effect of recharging the battery of the body's telephone system. High-frequency currents even of a million volts, voltages hundreds of times greater than those that would prove fatal If they were of low-frequency, can be passed with complete safety into the body. The reason is that these currents, similar to those used In wireless, oscillate sj> rapidly, that their ill-effect is neutralized or reversed before any fatal effect is produced by the change-over of the current.

The almond tree in England cover* itself in bloom in early April, beautiful landmark cf hope. In eastern lands it was called the "watch or wake tree." It seemed to watch for the spring and the south wind's first coming, being the first of all the trees to wake into flower. April also is pilot-in-chief to our best known migrants, From far-off lands come the wheatear and chiff-chaff, cuckoo and swallows, willow wren and nightingale, as though they also would fain be in England "now that April's there." And when the cuckoo is heard, one feels the waiting time is over. Spring has triumphed. More than most gifts of the month, that long, unhasting far-off call of the cuckoo has fascinated men.

SPRING IMPURITIES DUE TO POOR BLOOD A Tonic Medicine a Necessity at This Season. " Dr. Williams' Pink PiUs are an all-year-round tonic for the blood and nerves. But they are especially valuable in the Spring when the system Is loaded with impurities as a result of the indoor life of the winter months. There is no other season when the blood is so much in need of purifying and enriching and every dose of these pills helps to enrich the blood. In the spring one feels weak and tired--Dr. Williams' Pink Pills give strength. In the spring the appetite is often poor-- Dr. Wiliams' Pink Pills develop the appetite, tone the stomach and aid weak digestion. It is in the spring that poisons in the blood find an outlet in disfiguring pimples, eruptions and boils--Dr. Williams' Pink Pills clear the skin because they go to the of the trouble in|the blood. In the spring, anaemia, rheumatism, indigestion, neuralgia and many other troubles are most persistent because of poor, weak blood, and it is at this time when all nature takes on new life that the blood most seriously needs attention. Some people dose themselves with purgatives at this season, but these only further weaken themselves. A purgative merely gallops through the system, emptying the bowels, but does not help the blood. On the other hand, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills enrich the blood which reaches every nerve and every organ in the body, bringing new strength and vigor to weak, easily tired men, women and children. Try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills this spring-- they will not disappoint you. r-^ai) ™»" get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Mental Health.» Mental health means more than being free from mental disease. Freedom from insanity alone does not imply that a person's mental health is perfect. The strain of life as we live it today brings a good deal of wear and tear to our mental equipment, and It behooves us to preserve the health our mind as well as the health of A mental breakdown Is something none of us want, and the hopeful thing that we can prevent it. George K. Pratt claims that if people would do the sensible thing, mental stress would be greatly lessened. Men and women do much to protect their mental health, even though it Is true that the foundations for "a sound mind in a sound body" are best laid during child- His suggestions are the simplest and sanest we have seen for a long time: Face reality squarely; find out your difficulties and proceed to conquer i. No good ever came from deny-or trying to escape unpleasant tasks or responsibility. Learn to think with your intelligence, not with your emotions. A married woman should not give up all outside interests when the first baby comes. They should keep up their music, or painting, or athletics, church societies and bridge clubs. The girl who drops her friends after marriage will live to be sorry; keep the friends who live in toyvn and correspond regularly if not often with your distant friends. Take an energetic attitude about worry. Find out definitely what is worrying you--then make an honest effort to remove the cause. Avoid excessive day-dreaming.

Finding a Mother. A rather pathetic letter recently rived from Canada for Sir Rowland Blades, the Lord Mayor of London It was from a man who had lived all his life in the Dominion with people whom he believed to be his parents. Then one day he discovered they were not, and that his real mother had once lived in London. So he wrote to the Lord Mayor to ask him to find her. this story was told by Lady Blades herself to a friend of mine to illustrate the many strange problems which the holders of the highest municipal office are regularly called on to solve. Lady Blades has almost as busy a life as her husband. While her toy fund for poor children was in progress she was signing as many as 400 letters a day. One of her most touching gifts came from two children whose father had died. They sent a purse they found in his pocket with its few shillings intact. o. 16--'27.
