THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY, SEPT. 29, 1927 7 A DOCTOR'S PRAISE A Noted Doctor Strongly Endorses Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The test of any remedy lies in its acceptance and employment by the qualified medical practitioner. No less an authority than Dr. Andrea Amici, physician to the Papal household, writing on the subject of anaemia, impoverishment of the nervous system and disorders attributable thereto, strongly endorses Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, recommending them as superior to other tonics. ' Dr. Amicl's testimony reads as follows:--"For several years I have made use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in my work and I have always found them efficacious in the treatment of disorders due to inmoverishment of the nervous system, anaemia and 'neurasthenia, stomach weakness, retarded "development in young women, |and irregularities. There is Is no lack jof tonic remedies, but in my experience no one of them manifests a superior efficacy to that of Dr. Williams' jPlnk Pills." No more conclusive eviience of the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills could be asked for or given, than is found |ln the above endorsement of this noted European physician. Besides this, however, this medicine has Sjoyed a world-wide public confidence for more than a third of a century »nd has brought relief to thousands and thousands of weak and suffering people.

Not every country is in the happy position, this news-i paper points out, of being able, by mere ingenuity and hard work, to increase its own size and resources, to say nothing of making a clear addition to the area of the habitable globe. We read then: "Before now, in their long, eventful history, the Dutch have welcomed the Invasion of the sea, and In moments of crisis have admitted its destructive waters over large areas of fertile land as a last barrier against a more hated foreign invader. Now, in happier times, they seek to expel it and to claim for cultivation the ground which it overlies between the provinces of North Holland and Friesland. Already a dam has been constructed connecting the mainland with Wieringen--a rather dreary little island, known since the war as the enforced dwelling-place of the German ex-Crown Prince. This dam is itself only the beginning of the immense barrier, thirty miles long (including the islands), by which it is intended permanently to block out the ocean from of well over a thousand square miles which it now covers. Not the whole of this area, however, ls to be taken .for cultivation. The middle part will still be a lake, but a fresh-lake. It is to be formed damming up the flow of the Yssel River, a branch of the Rhine, which present empties itself uselessly into the Zuider Zee.

The soil itself has been damaged by Irrigation Sny hat off." What Was Wrong. « A navvy bought a coat and was ad-'Vised by the salesman to use a coat-hanger to keep the shoulders in good shape. | Next day the salesman wa3 surprised to find the navvy in his shop complaining.

The work has brought some relief to the unemployment problem that vexes Holland, as well as other countries, it seems, and it is said that the twin difficulty of overpopulation should also be relieved by the occupation of nearly a thousand miles of cultivable land--land, which is easily and conveniently situated for th export of its produce.

In eight years' time, it is thought, settlDg will have so far advanced as to give sufficient strength to the dam to prevent gaps forming opening of the railway service. The top layer will then be removed and the permanent way laid on the same level as the main road. Work Well In Hand. "Another great work which has been completed is the construction of a sea-dike from Ewycksluis In a northwesterly direction nearly as far Helder, the northernmost point of Holland. This was built as a precaution against the higher tides which expected after the closing of the Zuider Zee. To have strengthened the old main sea-dike sufficiently to withstand these would have necessitated the expropriation of large areas of valuable farm land. A new dike therefore built, parallel to but 200 yards east of the old one. This has the advantage of creating a first-class ship canal ten miles in length, which will be made still logger when the dike is continued to the south. Another new dike is to he built next from the east of Wieringen Island to Medemblik, in the south, and the area thus enclosed will, when the water has been drained off by powerful pumps, be the flrst of the four polders of reclaimed land." At the eastern end of Wieringen two more considerable tasks have been completed, this correspondent goes on to say, and they are the new dock, which serves as a base for the fleet of dredges, barges and tugs, taking part In the work, and He construction of fifteen sluice-gates, which^ control the waters of that paf?" of the Zuider Zee which is to remain unclaimed. It Is further related that: "This work ls simply a stretch of 3 old sea bottom enclosed by a dike, e water having been pumped out. Its construction was a matter of great difficulty. Boulder clay was taken by dredges from a spot in the Zuider miles away and brought to Wieringen by barges. This clay, which ls a deposit from the Ice Period, is proof against erosion even strong current, and will form the foundation of all the main works. Af-dumping the boulder-clap up to level the water was pumped out and the enbankment thoroughly re-enforced. The outer surface of the dike has been covered with large blocks of stone, which are brought in barges from Germany and Belgium. It is stated that between $10,000,000 and $15,000,000 is to be spent in the purchase of this stone from abroad. "The sluice basin is nearly half a mile long and about 300 yards in width. It will contain fifteen sluicegates of ferroconcrete, each of them 33 feet wide. These 'will be used to regulate the watel-level of the lake formed by the unreclaimed central portion of the Zuider Zee. Lake Yssel, as it has been named, will receive its waters from the Rhine through the River Yssel. On the Friesian side of the Zuider Zee, where the artificial island is being built, another great basin to contain ten more sluices is in course of construction. It is thought that these twenty-five i it. And just watch him n Congressm •at-Large, Will Rogers, philanthropist That was :S.--That w that made him that offer, e comedian.

Of course, as the report London--Several thousand advertising men gathered at Olympia for ent exhibition of modern advertising. The exhibition has been an undoubted success, and has stimulated throughout British trade and in- j im; dustry a desire to know more about modern advertising methods.

At that time this amount- 1 to about $90. This fact was learned recently during the process of readjusting rents in accordance with the Duce's decree that nobody should pay more than four times as much (in lire) as was paid for the same place in 1914. In order to see that this rule is enforced the present inhavitants must appear before the prefecture and prove that the rent for the places they now occupy was such and such in 1914. A certain Signor Garducci, who now : reported, has !

To prove that he was en- i titled to this reduction he produced I a receipt showing that one Benito Mussolini, who had occupied the apartment in 1914, paid only 450 lire rent--or just one-fourth of 1,800, or, according to the present rate of exchange, about $100. He was granted the reduction. If sometimes the tea you are using does not taste as good as it used to--just see what kind of a package it is in. No chances are taken with Red Rose.
