THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1927 CONDITIONS THAT CALL FOR A TONIC Symptoms That the Blood is Thin Should Not Be Neglected. Weak, lacking In strength, energy and ambition, nervous, sleepless, poor appetite, digestion disturbed--these are the symptoms of a great majority of people who have been benefited by the use of Dr Williams' Pink Pills. The great value of this medicine in Our New Aerial j Language Expands Vivid and Picturesque, It Embraces Nearly a Thousand Strange Terms Springing into existence on pioneer flying fields, the new air language has already achieved a permanent place for itself. Perhaps all of the 900-odd terms from "aerofoil" to "zoom," which the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics includes in its official "Nomenclature," will not en-the vocabulary of the layman. The cases of this kind is proved by the addition will nevertheless be consid- Statement of Mrs. W. Hensher, Kingston, Ont., who says:--"Following a severe cold I was left in a run-down, nervous condition; I had pains in the back and limbs and could scarcely move about. I did not sleep well at night and was despondent and discouraged. I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ,and can truthfully tsay that after the use of six boxes, the change in my condition was nothing short of marvellous. The pains vanished, I slept well, had a good appetite, and in every way felt well and strong. I also gave the pills to my daughter, who was in an anaemic con-aition and feeling quite miserable, iand In her case, too, they restored health I hope my experience may help some other weak person." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or sent by mail at 50 cents a box by The Dr.. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A little book, "Building Up the tBlood," which contains many useful health hints, will be sent free on re- Uncle Sam's Best Customer Figures compiled in the Department Df Commerce at Washington indicate that at the present moment Canada is the largest consumer of American products, replacing the United Kingdom In that position. For the first eight months of 1927 Canadian purchases amounted to $544,053,208; those of the United Kingdom were less than $18,-617,389. As Great Britain has hitherto been the largest single export mar ket for American goods of all sorts, jthis means an interesting change in jthe economic situation. Much as this may mean to the United States it perhaps means more to Canada. It would not have been .possible for the Dominion much if that country had not been in jsuch admirable condition financially. JThe truth is that Canadian business has been healthy and prosperous and Is stil climbing. In agriculture, in manufactures and in mining the ditions have been such sound expansion. The great wheat crop of 1925 started Canadian agriculture upon a new career of prosperity. It came at a time when world prices for grain were satisfactory. As those pri. continue reasonably good in the world markets there is no reason why this advantage should not continue. Water development has provided cheaper power for the factories, which in turn have been able to employ more workers and turn out more goods. That this prosperity has been national rather than local has been made evident through reductions in income taxes. Automobile purchases in the U. S. for the period covered by this survey aggregated about $22,000,000 in value. There were corresponding purchases of motor trucks and parts for replacement. In the same period American exports of cotton goods to Sanada aggregated 88,000,000 pounds, as against a total of 75,000,000 for a corresponding period last year. . If estimates made by the Department of Agriculture are correct, Canada is now buying about two-thirds of all her foreign goods in the markets o ftho United If Canada is a good customer of the United States, so also is the United States a good customer of Canada. Last year we bought more goods n Canada than in any other one foreign country, the total running wel up toward half a billion of dollars. As ?ood neighbors, living side by side in reciprocal trust and good will, observing the same standards of honesty in trade, the two countries present to the world an object lesson in ul relationships. •able; It will be vivid and picturesque, as have been the words given us by the sea, the automobile and the radio. Some of these terms are obvious, others are not. Some are misused. Some are still such innovations--like the term "avigator" which Hegenberger applies to himself--that they will not be discussed here, though they may eventually come into the language. The new air language is, naturally! enough, a hybrid showing ancestry in many quarters. This is what gives the romantic philologist his fun.

Asked in the Houes of Commons recently whether the cruisers intended to have been laid down this year had been held up, William C. Bridgeman, First Lord of the Admiralty, admitted that this was the case. "The matter," he said, "is under consideration at the present moment." Going on to refer to the question whether the Geneva Conference's effect might make it desirable not to proceed with one or two cruisers, he continued: "That is a matter that is receiving consideration." One battleship, two destropers, one mine-layer and one submarine, Mr. Bridgeman added, were completed in the last 12 months. THE ONLY MEDICINE BABY HAS HAD Is What Thousands of Mothers Say of Baby's Own Tablets Once 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 relieving baby of any of the many minor aliments which afflict him at one time or another. The Tablets never fall to be of benefit--they cannot possibly do harm as they are guaranteed to be free from all injurious drugs. Concerning Baby's Own Tablets Mrs. Russell 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 peevish or ailing will make mistake in giving Baby's Own Tablets." Baby's Own Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or direct by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Its fine qualities preserved in the modern Aluminum package.

This hero noticed that a letter had blown from the hands of one of the passengers into the Hudson" River With a gentlemanly, "I'll get it for you,' he dived over the side. The lifeboat was lowered ,and when the model of courtesy was returned to the ship he handed over the letter with the comment, "I am afraid it is wet." The report says that he spoke with a Swedish accent, so Europe may take the credit for his upbringing It is a pretty tale, but one feels that a really obliging man would have offered to dry the letter or to type out a copy neatly on the ship's typewriter.--Glasgow Herald.
