f THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1928 RHEUMATIC MISERY Relief Can Only Come Through Better Blood--Liniments of No Use. In no other disease does the blood become thin so rapidly as in rheumatism. Not only does it become thin but it is loaded with impurities-- rheumatic poisons. Without the pro-rheumatic poisons. Without the proper treatment these poisons increase, the inflamed joints swell and the patient becomes a cripple. Most treatments simply aim to keep down the pain, hence with every- unfavorable con dition a renewed attack follows: To cast out rheumatism the blood must be enriched and the rheumatic poisons driven out with the natural secretions of the body. This can best be done through a course of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which have a specific action on the blood, giving it new richness and redness Thousands have tried this treatment with beneficial results. That every sufferer from rheumatism who does not try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is neglecting the most hopeful means of recovery is shown by the statement of Mr. David Carroll, Pictou, N.S., who says:--"For years I was troubled with rheumatism. The pains were not continuous, but they always returned, and kept getting worse. I tried so-called electric belts and many medicines, but did not get more than temporary relief. Only those who have suffered from this trouble will realize what I suffered at times. I had begun to despair of getting better when a friend urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In a short time I could feel this medicine helping me, so I gladly continued taking the pills and soon found that every trace of the trouble had disappeared and there was a great impro\ement in my gen eral health. It is now two years since; I took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I have not had the least twinge of the trouble in that time. That is why I confidently recommend the pills to other sufferers." You can get these Pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 60c a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Brockville, Ont. Murderer Agrees to Become Leper Strange Medical Experiment Will Be Made in Lithuania STUDY OF DISEASE Leprosy Will Be Developed Through Various Stages Kovno, Lithuania.--One of the strangest medical experiments on re-! cord was announced here recently when a convicted murderer agreed to permit himself to be inoculated with1 The murderer's name is Kirstein and he was condemned to death after; being convicted of a particularly j gruesome murder. It was said he voluntarily agreed to the experiment which will make him a leper. Professor Sniker, chief of the Army Medical Corps, will inoculate Kirstein with the bacili. At first only a small injection will be given and the Professor will study the disease in its early stages. Later the leprosy will be developed through various steps at advanced stages of the disease, and the professor will keep detailed records of its progress. It is expected here that the study will be of value in the creation of a cure.

Ontario Sells Wood Land Toronto, Ont.--Sale of eighty-one square miles of pulpwood and jack pine in the Township of Simpson, one hundred miles north of Sault Ste. Marie, to the Abitibi Pulp and Paper Co. and the Algoma Central Railway, is announced by the Department of Lands and Forests, Queen's Park. The purchase involves the cutting rights to about 50,000 cords of pulp-wood, 63,000 railway ties and 200,000 feet board measure of large jack pine. Prieps realized by the Department were $2 a cord for the pulpwood, 15 cents per tie and $6.50 per thousand for the jack pine. The purchase is a joint one, the pulpwood to be used 'by the Abitibi company in their ""ault Ste. Mane mill and the ties going to the Olgoma Central for road construc- The Department stipulated that the pulpwood should be taken off at the same time as the jack pine in order to avert the danger of a fire hazard, which otherwise might arise at different times. In past years the Government has put up small areas for the Algoma Central Railway in order to provide timber that is not available on the company's own land.

From a brief despatch from Kabul, the old capital of the country, to the Allahabad Pioneer, it appears that these innovations have been even more drastic than was at first reported. The King, we learn, has not only provided himself with a triennial parliament, but insisted, when it convened recently in Paghman, the new capital, on its members, the tribal headmen, appearing in suitable parliamentary costumes. At the gates, says The Pioneer, these deputies had to exchange their turbans, flowing robes and broad sashes for frock-coats, top hats and trousers, thoughtfully supplied by "mass production" at the royal order. The legislators were even instructed to relieve themselves of their beards and whiskers. Meanwhile the ladies of their families, under the Queen's example, are discarding veils, and some of them drive their own motor-cars. By another decree only visitors wearing European dress henceforth are to be admitted to the public gardens and theatres of Kabul and Paghman. When inside they must no longer sit cross-legged on the ground, but on the benches and chairs provided. Afghanistan, the London Daily Mail exclaims, "is clearly hustling." The same paper continues: "Not, however, more so than some other Mohammedan States. Turkey is at present in the throes of learning the alphabet and Kemal Pasha has decreed that the Latin characters shall be used instead of the beautiful, time-honored but obsolete and inconvenient Arabic script; and the Dictator brightens up a Cabinet meeting by himself giving Ministers a few lessons with a blackboard. "Persia is moving too. His Majesty, Shah Riza Khan, has sent to Europe on a special mission his Court Chamberlain, a highly accomplished gentleman, who speaks several European languages, travels by airplane, and astonishes Downing Street and the Quai d'Orsay by his knowledge of international politics. . . . "It seems that the East is going to adopt all our mechanical devices and most of our fashions and customs, political and other. It will change its outward form mightily in the next few years. Will there be a corresponding change in its spiritual outlook? Is the soul of the East to be transformed as well as the body? And. if so, what will the reflex be on the civilization of our own Western world?" A PROBLEM FOR YOUNG MOTHERS Stomach troubles cause most of the distress of babyhood and childhood, and are the greatest problem that a young mother has to solve. The treatment for these digestive disturbances that make baby cry continually and disturb his sleep must be quick and effective, and, above all, perfectly safe. The absolutely safe treatment for disturbances of the stomach and bowels is found in Baby's Own Tablets. Thousands of mothers have had their -problem solved through them. They are guaranteed to be' free from all injurious drugs and cannot possibly do harm to even the j youngest babe--they always do good. Baby's Own Tablets regulate the stomach and bowels; banish constipation and indigestion; break up colds and simple fevers and promote that health-giving sleep which is so necessary to the welfare of the baby or *owing child. The Tablets are sold bj; all medicine dealers or by mail at 25c a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. LIKE ONE OF THE FAMILY "My dog is like one of the family." What Will Women Say? London Morning Post (Cons.): It is too much to hope or wish that women should ever forswear allegiance to fashion--"deformed thief" though he be. But now that they enjoy the dignity of equal political status, is it too much to expect them to demand some say in dictation of their fashions, or obey a native rather than an alien decree? After.all, they may be reminded that their menfolk do not look to any foreign models for the style of their clothes. On the contrary, they provide the models for the world. Can it be that English women, having achieved so much, are willing to be outdone by men in a matter that concerns so much their dignity and self-sufficiency? FINANCIAL NEWS Objects to Use of Term "Rayon" New York--The Celanese Corporation of America has taken issue with the Better Business Bureau of New York City, Inc., on the latter'! recent recommendation that the word "rayon" be used in conjunction with the name of its product. Its objection is based on the ground that celanese is so distinctly different from rayon in its chemical and physical properties that the adoption of the bureau' commendation would -cause confusion between the fabrics and articles of the company and these now referred to as rayon. The company further contends that the bureau has thority to name a product, and that its action in this case can only result in confusion and misrepresentation. The company points out, in addition, that the local bureau's recommendation is contrary to the position taken by the National Better Business Bureau about three years ago. The same arguments apply to Canadian Celanese, Ltd.

Stockl r Eavestroughs or Con- When Morning Came Dawn came with a high wind trumpeting and a rain of yellow leaves In the orchard. The hosts of the day arose to greet her and start her singing, like a bareheaded, brown-eyed lassie, down the trail. October morning--what buoyant joy and expectancy awoke with its sunlight! Where the Fall's footstep had fallen the silvery brown and silken richness of ripened things glowed. Tiny fingers of the woodbine had draped the mossy green bowlder with scarlet garlands. When the wind swung low at intervals the breath of fruition poured fragrance on the air and a melodious silence touched the heart. The gnarled and somber yew trees stood like solemn dignitaries at a gay carnival amid the forest folk, dropping their brillian leaves continuously as before the coming of a triumphant pageant. The musical haunts of the summer going birds were murmurous with the sweep of thinning branches, and the abundant harvest of nuts baited the tireless squirrel. Here and there a dainty and belated blossom sang its song of loveliness. Swiftly sailing clouds rippled in shadows along the crisping grass. The springtime beauty had been transmuted into another and even more gorgeous splendor. October was on the land and the day was at its dawn. -- Day of Gold LIX THORN" e deserve such days of O heart, can we gold ? Such radiant hours that priceless treasures hold? A sky that cloudless bends, where bird's' wings beat, The rainbow-tinted trees that guard the street. The hillsides pranked in tints of fairyland, The wayside blooms aglow on ev'ry The sunset's, o'er the mountains grim and old. O heart, do we deserve these days of "What did father say when you ;.sk-ed for me?" "He didn't say anything. He fell on my neck and wept."

Temperance in Britain Manchester Sunday Chronicle (Ind.): Every year Britain is becom-ng rtore sober. The steady decline :n drunkenness is one of the most I heartening post-war signs, for it has ' not been achieved by prohibition.
