Mothers everywhere who have used Baby's Own Tablets for their children speak in enthusiastic terms of them. For instance, Mrs. Zepherin Lavoie, Three Rivers, Que., writes: -- "Baby's Own Tablets are a wonderful medicine for little ones. They never fail to regulate the baby's stomach and bowels, and make him plump and well. I always keep a box of the Tablets in the house and would advise all mothers to do likewise."

These Tablets relieve constipation and indigestion, break up colds and simple fevers, expel worms, allay teething pains and promote healthful sleep.

The Arctic Tern The tern is a beautiful, graceful bird, and from its skimming, darting flight is sometimes called the swallow. There are several varieties, including the black, common, roseate, least, sooty, bridled, and Arctic terns. The last named is about 15 inches in length, grayish above and pearly below, with red bill, deeply-forked tail, an wide wing-spread. The Arctic tern is a great bird traveler, its migrations extending from the Arctic regions to the Antarctic. Over the thousands and thousands of miles of space their graceful wings carry them, from polar regions at the north, over north temperate, rrid, and south temperate lands and as, to polar regions of th south. In mid-June the bird appears in the Arctics, nesting as far north land has been discovered. It keeps ;ar to the shore, for much of its liv-g is garnered from the waters. Through the time while the eggs are hatching and the young birds growing, the Arctic terns enjoy the perpetual day of mid-summer in that northern "land of the midnight sun." For weeks, although the sun dips near the horizon, it never sets. When the young birds are full-grown and have gained strength for traveling, the flight southward begii Thousands of terns from along the northern coasts depart by the first of September. No -ornithologist hao been able as yet to trace their full flight, so their route--if like most migrating birds they have regular routes --is not wholly known. Arrived in far southern lands, time has passed, and the sun now shines on the Antarctic regions, while at the north which they have left behind them, day disappears in the long night of winter. Thus it may be seen that the Arctic tern enjoys more hours of daylight during the year than any other living creature. Is it love of light that prompts them to take the long journey twice yearly? If so, how do they know that the changing seasons will shift the weeks of daylight from one pole to the other' The wonders of nature are many, and not the least among them is this knowledge possessed by these beautiful birds, the Arctic terns, or sea swallows. Button! Button! Where's the Button? The housemother who may be called upon any minute to mend Johnnie's trousers, or match Florence's sash, or repair a run in a still new pair of chiffon stockings, needs all her etceteras at hand. The writer sought for her materials something better than a basket. She remembered that a smart dressmaker in her town kept her sewing utensils in a beautiful cabinet of many shallow drawers. Expensive cabinets, however, were not for this amateur. What was to be done? One day, as she walked through the kitchen equipment section of a department store, she caught sight of a wooden spice box, about 18 inches Mgh and 12 across, fitted with 8 small drawers. The price was $1.' She bought it at once, for she saw her difficulty wa# solved. The sewing basket was promptly done away with, and its contents transferred to its Every one will have her own way of dividing the articles. The writer kept one bottom drawer for spools of cotton; the other for sewing silks of many shades. Above, a drawer was given over to darning and embroidery silks and cottons, another to tapes, with the measuring tape tucked in. Yet another held hooks and eyes, and assorted snappers.

"Zionism is facing a crisis in its attempt to build up a Jewish National Home in Palestine," asserts Ervin S, Acel, Ph. D., in November Current History. "Since August, 1926, more Jews have been leaving the Holy Land than are going there. In fact, immigration is practically suspended and this condition has been caused by an economic crisis due to a large amount of unemployment which in turn has caused a large financial deficit (in 1926, $23,408,000). The answer to the question, 'What is wrong with Zionism?' seems to be that, although Jews are financially and culturally very powerful all over the world, only the poor and unsuccessful Wfew who has a heroic capacity to suffer but is without constructive experi-'enrje, goes to Palestine. If rich Jew-isfi bankers, manufacturers and merchants settled in Palestine permanently with their capital, Zionism would have at least a fair trial." TONE UP TOE BLOOD AND NERVES NOW Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Have No Equal for This Purpose. Anaemia, or lack of good blood, causes not only pale faces and white lips; it is the root of many pains and miseries.

Harold had been to Sunday school, and was asked by b,is sister, a few years older, what he had learned. The lesson was the story of Joseph, and the small learner was evidently full of his subject. "Oh," he said, "it was about a boy, and his brothers took him out and put him In a hole In the ground, and then they killed another boy, and took the boy's coat and dipped it in the blood of this boy and--" , no, Harold, ont another boy!" his sister interrupted, horrified.
