As the blood becomes thinner j ing everything strange and new. This the symptoms become Bounced and often there are fainting spells. All this shows that the blood Js thin and watery, and at the very first symptom of this condition the patient should take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, the most reliable blood-builder and nerve tonic known. The sole mission of this medicine Is to enrich the blood and when that is done all the distressing symptoms disappear. Among those who have reason to praise this medicine is Mrs. M. E. Patterson, Shanklin, N.B., who says:--"About four years ago I became very much run down, I could not eat, sleep nor rest, and I grew so nervous that the smallest things would annoy me. Eventually I grew so weak that I did not have strength to move about withput help. I was Just a miserable wreck, and became very much discouraged as I had tried many medicines which failed to help me. In this wretched state a friend urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I did so and before long found they were helping me. Gladly I continued taking the pills until I fully I regained my health and strength,and I have since continued in the best of health. Later my daughter became anaemic and six boxes of the pills stored her to health, strength and color. Naturally, I consider Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a blessing to weak, run-down people." You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 60 cents a box from The Dr. Williai Medicine o., Brockville, Ont. hy London has been so rich in philosophers, who are never surprised, and also in poets, who always are. Anything can happen there, and eventually everything does happen. A Londoner may have been so lulled by humdrum days as to conclude with Hamlet that all is "stale, flat, and unprofitable upon this sterile promontory, the earth," and then one morning--well, let me cite an example. I was standing at the corner of Southampton Row and Tavistock Square, waiting for a conveyance to take me northward. The great street was flowing like a stream in spate with taxicabs, buses, and automobiles all making steadily southward. Hoots | ^^j,. and cries, rumble and road of wheels, screaming of brakes, filled the morning air. As I looked down the thoroughfare it seemed to be tightly packed with vehicles from curb to curb. All London had decided, apparently, to travel down Southamp- j'think of that ton Row to Kingsway and the Strand. that if any recalcitrant person should wish to go in th< spectacle is denied us, for he is an English policeman and the English always temper their law and logic with common sense. He makes no signal whatever, but retires with as much dignity as possible to one side of the street while the elebhant, who is dignity Incarnate, tramps on without a second's pause. All things considered, I feel that the policeman chose wisely. Happy Philosophy And now the clutches grip the gear6 once more and the wheels begin to roll. On the faces of the people in the street I see no more surprise than there would be if Southampton Row were a run leading to a saltlick in Central Africa and a thoroughfare for elephants. I reflect that probably all these people are philosophers, who know that everything whatever is to be seen in London sooner or later and that therefore an elephant was to be expected. My own philosophy is not so complete, however, that I can forbear gazing huge gray shape that is Gretna Green Retains Fame With 9 Marriages in Week Gretna Green, Scotland--Whereas the vicar of a Middlesex village is complaining that there has not been a marriage in his parish for more than a year, Gretna Green, famous in song and story as the mecca of runaway couples, is en-Joying traditional popularity as a marriage centre.

Baby specialists agree nowadays, that during the first six months, babies must have three ounces of fluid per pound of body weight daily. An •right pound baby, for instance, needs twenty-four ounces of fluid. Later on the rule is two ounces or fluid per pound of body weight. The amount of fluid absorbed by a breast fed baby is best, determined by weighing him before' London does there with the concerted opinion. Someone intends to get to Euston Station in spite of the "fty thousand others who hold with perfect unanimity that the only thing to do is to get to Kingsway and the Strand. A thrilling thing it is, al-see one purpose pit itself against thousands. And look, how. The traffic that was a solid mass before, wedged tight from side to side of the road, has somehow managed to leave a free channel. The huge buses achieve wonders of agility in wriggling off toward the curbstones, and taxicabs dart away into side streets which a moment ago they would disdained. Who or what ca ich deference? police patrol? Is it a donkey Is it the King' annot yet be sure, for the buses block the nearer view. Whatever is moving there is no hurry; it comes on no faster than a man might walk, dividing the traffic before it as a whale does the waves of the sea. But now, at last, there it is! Now I understand. A vast and lofty brow, serene, majestic, imperturable, looms all at once above the hubbub. One glance at that lofty forehead explains why the crowd of vehicles opened so obsequiously below and why the little taxicabs darted off into obscure byways. If I had been a taxicab bound along Southampton Row for the City and I had met an elephant coming up Southampton Row en route for the Euston Station, > should probably have adopted the same prudent An African King For there is an air of command about that massive brow that is not to be lightly gainsaid, and there is a look of absolute self-sufficiency in the small determined eyes which seems to say: "I am bound northward for that seem good to me. and I to move in that direction at my own accustomed pace. If all London chooses to go at the same time in the opposite direction, that is London's privilege, but London will have make room for me."

If he does, then it is not strange that he should Ignore even the dignity of a traffic policeman. What a seasoned and veteran traveler he must be who has sailed the tramped the five continents, who has ridden thousands of miles in box cars and has been hoisted out of steamships innumerable times by specially constructed derricks--such an elephant, certainly, has got past marveling at Southampton Row. Or perhaps he has long been a London citizen, and so is a philosopher by natural right. The Moral "Trust thyself," says Emerson; "every heart resounds to that iron string." Well, one heart does at any rate, and to me that steady march of the great gray elephant right against the whole current of the morning's traffic was a perfect symbol of the purpose that always finds a way. Never hesitating, never for an JrTr-stant doubting that the throng would open before him, he kept "in the Idst of the crowd, with perfect .veetness, the independence of soli-ide." That is the way in which great things are done, and not by flaccidly deciding that the way everyone is going must, of course, be the right way for one to go. Of course, one may say that the problem of independence is somewhat simplified if one weighs several tons and stands ten or twelve feet higb, but mere bulk is essential thing.

It is a very old stom and is celebrated during the it of April. The Guilds of Zurich burn up winter, which they think has lasted long enough! A huge bonfire Is laid in the square before the Opera House, and on t of it is placed what looks like large snowman, but he is in reality built of chicken wire stuffed fireworks and covered with white paper. The guilds--and there must about 20--all meet, arrayed in the most gorgeous costumes, each union having its own ceremonial uniform, some of which are preserved in the museum and used only on this day. The procession marches into the square and groups around the bonfire--after circling slowly and impressively around it--and the townspeople on foot form a ring on the outside. When the clock strikes six the fire is lighted, and as it burns the men and horses commence to circle about, going faster and faster. Then the snowman catches fire and begins to blow up, and everyone joins in the cheering, for winter has gone. Finally, bunches of flowers are thrown and the cry goes up that sum-has begun.

This is the outcome of a spirited debate in the House of Commons, in which such strong opposition from members of all parties was shown to the Postmaster-General's proposals for a new contract with the existing steamer service, that the Government agreed to withdraw the scheme and appoint a select committee to investigate the entire question of the traffic along the coast and to the islands. In the debate, Frederick Masquls- n for the Conservatives told of two horses having to be sold to meet the freightage of 12 stable companions. Walter Runciman, for the Liberals, referred to fish sent to Manchester selling for 19s. 6d. which cost £1 2s. 6d. to carry there, and quoted Sir Harry Lauder for the statement that farmers refused to send cattle by the Speak Gently!

Foods and soaps should be left in mouseproof containers, the flour bin should be emptied and all paper packages replaced by jars or cans. Furnishings, of course, need protection against dust, moths, and sunlight. Old slip covers suffice for wicker, while over-stuffed furniture should be vacuum cleaned and sprayed with insecticide and put out of reach of the sun. The windows should be hung with clean old curtains. Carpets and rugs are safer on the floor, with the shade half drawn, than when they are rolled up and put away.
