Symptoms That the Blood is Thin Should Not be Neglected. Weak, run-down, lacking strength, energy and ambition, nervous, sleepless, poor appetite, digestion disturbed--these are the symptoms named by a great majority of people who have been benefitted by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These tonic pills correct the condition described and if you have any of these symptoms you should give these pills a i trial. Their great value in cases of j this kind is shown by the statement j of Mrs. James A. Tibbetts, Halifax, N.S., who says:--"I was completely: run down in health. My blood was thin and watery, and my nerves so bad that I did not sleep well at night. My appetite was poor and the least exertion left me weak and trembling. When I went out I would have a severe hadache, and would have to lie down as soon as I got in the house. ] A friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I soon found they were helping me and by the time I! had taken the sixth box I felt like a new woman, and have enjoyed good health ever since. For this reason I can highly recommend the pills to anyone run-down or troubled with their nerves." Not only do Dr. Williams' Pink ' pills help the nerves. Their main function is to enrich and increase the blood, and as the blood supplies the I whole body, new life is given to the entire system. Better sleep, steady t nerves, improved appetite, increased j vigor--all these can be yours by tak-j ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Begin j them to-day.

( "I am inclined to think that the 'Pope hit the nail on the head.

I am inclined to ask him if it is not rather because they repeat the Ten Commandments." j RED ROSE J|£is good ted' It May Be Urgent When your Children Cty for It Castoria is a comfort when Baby is fretful.

Never be without it; some mothers keep an extra nottle, unopened, to make sure there will always be Castoria in the house. It is effective for older children, too; read the book that comes with it. A Glasgow man whose business and private reputation would not have stood too much scrutiny ultimately found himself in the dock on a serious charge. But his lawyers played their parts so skillfully that the judge dismissed the case, telling the accused that he "left the dock without a stain on his character. On leaving the building one of his cronies approached him and remarked: "Man, Jamie, did you hear what his lordship said about your character? Wasn't it a darned rood job you were arrested, you lucky Poor Business A young couple, allotted a telephone number that formerly belonged to a Turkish bath place, were frequently rung up by mistake. One night a man rang up and asked for one of the company's cars to be sent for him, and, although he was told politely he had the wrong num-; ber, he rang again--and still again. After midnight he rang up a fourth The irate husband went into a long and embittered explanation of the whole situation, explaining that he was a private resident, that he had certain rights, that he had no cars, and that he gave no Turkish baths. He rang off, congratulating himself that he had at last put the man off. ! A minute or two later, however, the man rang up again. "Lemme tell you one thing," he said. "You'll never, never get any customers that way!"--Helpful. The Peace Pact Wickham Steed in the Review of Reviews (London): It cannot be said that the British Government has distinguished itself by enthusiasm for the Peace Pact. Its tardiness in announcing its final acceptance of the last American note may be explicable, and Sir Austin Chamberlain's explanations of it may be perfectly sound. But there has been a woeful absence of undisguised goodwill on the part of British Ministers. i If you want the very best, ask for Red Rose Orange Pekoe 17 In clean, bright Aluminum MANY MOTHERS RECOMMEND THEM No Stockings Since its inception the League of Nations has been brought up against many peculiar problems, but recently it faced a new one that absolutely staggered the members. Three ladies appeared with credentials for entrance from one of the most influential members of the League. They wore no stockings, but the usher who tried to bar their entrance found himself powerless, in view of their credentials, to ,do so. They remained throughout the session, and it is reported by cable that the Council was plainly upset and that the members seemed abstracted. This will never do. If the deliberations of the League are to be brought to such a pass through the absence of stockings, then it would seem only proper to draft a protocol requiring all and sundry feminine visitors to ■ wear stockings ln addition to their or-! dinary attire, at least while in the ; League chamhber or in the purlieus j of the League offices. The fashion of i going stockingless in the summertime was introduced in New York some years ago, and has gained somewhat in favor, though It is not likely ever to become widespread or popular. After all, It is merely a harking back to the practice of two thousand years ago and more. But since we have got used to stockings, whether sheer or otherwise, it appears unwise to disturb our most responsible legislators of peace plans by distracting their attention from 3T)stract problems by such practicul charms as the absence of stockings may reveal.--Montreal Classified Advertisements ____-pioneek ma. * « TANCE move™ of Canada.
