One of these, Miss Katie McEachern, Port Hood, N.S., says: -- "I praise the day I began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I had not been feeling well for some time. I was very pale, had severe headaches, dizzy spells, and occasional fainting spells. The least exertion would leave me tired and breathless. In this condition I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I continued their use until I had taken six boxes, by which time I was again enjoying good health. I hope my experience will lead other sufferers to give this medicine a fair trial." If you are at all run-down, or weak, you should begin at once to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and you will soon be well and strong. These pills are sold by medicine dealers or be sent by mail at 50 cents a box by The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock-ville, Ont.

She was a pretty little thing, short-skirted, pink-cheeked, and bob-haired. As she tripped lightly down the stairs leading from the station, many admiring glances were levelled in her direction. "Some chicken!" exclaimed one youth to his pal, as they trailed in her wake. "Wonder who the lucky chap Is she going to meet!" As the lovely bit of feminity emerged from the station, a handsome, broad-shouldered man, fully six feet tall, clasped her in bis arms and kissed her. "Mother!" he exclaimed fondly, "I thought I'd missed you!" "How do you spell 'graphic'," asked the young man, "with one T of two?" "The old man sighed. "Well, he said at last, "if you are going to use any you might as well go the limit."

Captain Wilkin's flight of last year northwest to Point Barrow, as well as the flight of the Norge across the Pole, had eliminated any possibility of land being found on a direct route from Alaska to Spltzbergen. "Captain Wilkins therefore planned to swing to the right on his. crossing of the Arctic Ocean and thus pene-tratethe area in which 'Croaker Land' was thought to exist. This was the land that Peary thought he saw from the north end of Grant Land, the region which MacMillan sought to penetrate some years later. It is the area into which Nobile has nounced that he intends to take his dirigible. It is popularly know the 'blind spot' in the Arctic. The scientist would call it the unexplored border of the Continental Shelf north-wast of Grant Land." 'Here in the relatively shallow border of the Arctic Ocean, the chance of finding land has been thought to be greater than in other parts of the Arctic where deep soundings have been reported. Wilkins's flight has at last cleared up this area as well as several other areas north of Greenland. Except for the shallow border of the Arctic off the long coast of beria, only land of small extent may be expected to be found in the Arctic Basin by further exploration. Captain Wilkins's expedition thus had strictly scientific objects. At no time did he plan to fly over the Pole, unless he drifted In that direction as a result of quartering winds. "By a series of code messages previously agreed upon, Captain Wilkins was to inform me of the position, character and number of islands that he might discover along the line of his flight, in a message received by me Captain Wilkins reported no land.

As a result they have been severely depleted. They cannot much longer stand the exorbitant drain caused by extravagant use and inadequate protection. A certain contractor who had always professed to be fond of children, became very angry because some litt-tle fellow stepped on a new pavement before it was dry. In the midst of his tirade, a bystander broke in: "I thought you loved children," he said. T do in the abstract, but not in the concrete," he replied.

NO MEDICINE LIKE BABY'S OWN TABLETS For Either the Newborn Babe or the Growing Child. There is no other medicine to equal Baby's Own Tablets for little ones-- whether it be for the new born babe or the growing child the Tablets always do good. They are absolutely free from opiates or other harmful drugs and the mother can always feel safe in using them. Concerning the Tablets, Mrs. John Armour, R.R. 1, South Monaghan, Ont., says:--"We have three fine, healthy children, to whom, when a medicine is needed, we have given only Baby's Own Tablets. The Tablets are the best medicine you can. keep in any home where there young children." Baby's Own Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the stomach and bowels; banish cons tion and indigestion; break up colds and simple fever and make teething easy. They are sold by medicine dealers or direct by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Thumb sucking does look sweet In a baby, but it Is disgusting in the three-year-old and sometimes it hangs on until fifteen or sixteen! The habit may cause an ill-formed mouth or induce adenoids; and it always interferes with digestion. Pinning the sleeve over the hand; attaching mittens, or putting on cardboard cuffs, which prevent bending the arms at the elbows, are some of the ways to stop the habit. Another bad habit--irregularity in bowel action--is responsible for weak bowels and constiuation in babies, Slve the tiny bowels an opportunity to act at regular periods each day. If they don't act at first, a little Fletcher's Castoria will soon regulate them. Every mother should keep a bottle of it handy to use In case of colic, cholera, diarrhea, gas on stomach and bowels, constipation, loss of sleep, or when baby is cross and feverish. Its gentle influence over baby's system enables him to get full nourishment from his food, helps him gain, strengthens bis bowels. Castoria is purely, vegetable and harmless--the recipe is on the wrapper. Physicians have prescribed it for over 30 years. With each package, you get a valuable book on Motherhood. Look for Chas. H. Fletcher's signature on the wrapper to you'll get the genuine. Ailing Men and Women Need This Tonic Poets sing of Spring, but practical-minded people, everywhere, turn at this time to the Doctor and the Druggist for help to build up run-down constitutions. And no better remedy can be taken than Buckley's TRU-BLOOD. TRU-BLOOD, as its name implies, is a true blood tonic and a safe, sure, powerful corrective for all blood disorders, and rheumatic conditions as well. But " TRU - BLOOD " is more than a blood purifier--its use eradicates the outward evidences of impoverished blood, such as pimples, boils, eczema, blotches and all other skin affections. Buckley's OINTMENT, used in conjunction with Buckley's TRU-BLOOD, Move to Protect Scenic Beauties Of River Thames Survey Will Indicate Spots to Be Kept Free From Builders of Bungalows London.--Practical steps to i rve the beauties of the Thames re to be taken this year, the step toward which being a corn-survey of the valley affording a full and counected picture of all con-tions relating to the river. A branch of the Council for the Preservation of Rural England will undertake the special work of protecting the beauties of the Thames Valley, from Oxford to Staines. During the past few years the river has been spoilt by bungalows, villas indiscriminate building of all kinds. Many thousands of the small houses that have been erected in order to meet Great Britain's housing shortage are distressing disfigurements of the countryside. A plan will now be prepared in order to indicate how notable amenities can be best preserved at the least expense. It is believed that the survey will reveal clearly the key positions of beauty spots, and the extent of ground necessary to be bought for their protection. Those most Interested in the Thames Valley considered that the survey should include the river between Oxford and Cricklade. It has been pointed out that navigation is be- j 0f 555 miles ing developed up to Cricklade, and fresh locks are being erected. These new facilities will bring a great many new people into an entirely rural district.

Seven years ago, while a guard in the House Office Building, he conceived the idea of opening the Territory of Alaska to aviation. He had come to Washington fresh from active air service during the closing months of the World War, with his Second Lieutenant's commission tucked away among his belongings. When Eileson, who is a North Da-kotan, came to Washj igton, he intended to study law, hi the Alaskan dream came to the forj Unsuccessfully seekin; to influence Government officials to send planes to Alaska, Eielson left Washington in #922 and made his way to Fairbanks, Alaska, where he obtained a position teaching English and mathematics in the high school. Before many months he had convinced newspaperman and a banker that thre were tremendous opportunities for commercial aviation in Alaska and had formed a company for this pur- Eielson was signed up as the first commercial aviator In interior Alaska. The Fairbanks Airplane Corporation, as his company was called, bought a Jenny from the Army, had it shipped to Fairbanks and used it for passenger transportation and stunt flying in the Summer of 1923. It was the first plane most of the frontiersmen had ever seen. From July to October, 1923, he carried 200 passengers to and from mining camps In the interior without a casuality. The Government then became interested. Eielson received a contract to fly air mail from Fairbanks to Mc-Grath, a distance of 550 miles. The which was experimental, called for twelve flights, one every weeks. He made the first flight Feb. 21, 1924, and returned without mishap the same day, after flying for two hours in darkness over pitch dark frozen wastes. After his eighth trip a DH plane supplied to him by the Postoffice Department was shipped to the States for overhauling, and Eielson returned re-enter the air service. He was duly at Langley Field for a year beginning Sept. 24, 1924, and in February, 1925, was promoted to First Lieutenant. When Eielson again returned to the Arctic, it was with the Wilkins polar expedition, sent out from Detroit to explore the undiscovered lands of the polar regions. On MarchSO, 1926, he made the first flight from Fairbanks to Point Barrow with Captain Wilkins. The trip ide in five hours. In the course of the flight they crossed the Endicott Mountains, 10,000 feet high, and passed over stretches 100 miles long where it would have been impossible to effect a landing. Fairbanks was again used as their base when the Detroit News-Wilkins expedition went to Alaska in 1927. On March 29 of that year Wilkins and Eielson took off from Point Barrow for a ft*ght over the Arctic, with fuel for 1,400 miles.
