THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY. APRIL 26, 1917 REPLENISH YOUR BLOOD IN THE SPRING Just now you are feeling "out of sorts"--not your usual self. Quite hausted at times and cannot devote real energy to your work. Sleep not rest you and you wake up feeling "all tired out." Perhaps rheumatism is flying through your muscles and joints or may be your skin is disfigured by rashes, boils or pimples. Headaches, twinges of neuralgia, fits of nervousness, irritability of temper and a disordered stomach often increase your discomfort in the spring. The cause--winter has left its mark on you. These troubles are signs that your blood is poor and watery, that your nerves are exhausted. You must renew and enrich your blood at once and restore tone to your tired nerves, or there may be a complete breakdown. The most powerful remedy for these spring ailments in men, women and children is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, because these Pills cleanse bad blood and strengthen New, rich, red blood--your greatest need in spring--is plentifully created 7 Dr. Williams' Pink Pi: this longer to his present position, but h< still has the power to destroy, and de-stroy he does, especially when being driven back, and destroy he will until the power is taken from him. NO ALIEN-BORN QUEEN. War and Revolt Have Robbed Prince of Wales of Bride. Russia's revolution has had the suit of giving increased strength the movement which has been in p gress in Great Britain since the second year of the war in favor of the Prince of Wales' selection of a consort from among his non-royal countrywomen rather than from any of the foreign dynasties, remarks a London correspondent of the Washington Post. He then goes on to ennumerate the rious European princesses, practically all of whom are now unavailable brides for the Prince of Wales.

SPARED ROYAL SHOOTING-BOX House Built For Kaiser's Son Left Intact Amid Ruin. I would like to take those who prate of pacifism, and are trying to shirk their duty to the human race, to a little hill ten miles from St. Quentin, but standing twenty feet above the plain and commanding scores of square miles of uninterrupted view of the surrounding country, writes a war correspondent on April 14.

Now since the present war has shown the fallacy that royal international matches make for peace, i1 is again urged that there are really no obstacles to prevent the Prince from choosing a suitable bridi among the girls of his own country. Spring Styles HAS BEEN DEAR BEFORE. Sugar Was a Great Luxury in Year of 1459. One of the earliest records of the price of sugar in Great Britain appears in the accounts of the Chamberlain of Scotland in 1819, in which it is set down at Is SHi>d (44 cents) per lb. In 1459 sugar continued to be a great luxury, and in that year a "certain Margaret Paston, writing to her husband, who was a gentleman and landowner of Norfolk, begs that he vouchsafe" to buy her a pound of In the accounts of corporate bodies, and the household expenses of private persons, during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the item of sugar appears from time to time. In a list of viands provided for the funeral repast of Sir Jorn Redston, Lord Mayor, in 1531, for instance, sugar is set down at 7d. per lb, while in the books of the Stationers' Company the price is variously recorded as having been, in 1554 and 1558, lOd per lb and Is l%d (28 cents) per lb, respectively. Thirty years later as much as Is 6d., (37 cents) per lb., was charged.

My baby was very delicate; in fact we never thought he would live, but thanks to the Tablets fine healthy boy." Baby's Own Tablets should be kept in every home where there are small children. r grazed by cattle Over the whole face of the withered gray desert the enemy has made are strewn thousands and thousands oi what look like black fagots--murdered fruit trees, that in a few weeks would become, if the enemy had not to be driven back, a mass of white and pink blossoms. From this particular place the view of the crime of these stricken trees is particularly impressive, because more widespread and wholesale than anywhere else in the devastated country. But there is a further reason for choosing this little hill as A place from which to contemplate this side of On the top of it there is a neatly built log hut of white-barked beech, fitted with glass windows and adorned inside with green canvas hangings and gilt moldings. On the narrow terrace tre fixed wooden benches and tables of the kind that belong to a German beer garden. This eligible country residence was constructed as a sort of week-end shooting-box for Prince Eitel Friedrich, to which he and his. boon companions could retire when exhausted from the strain of war. There was, of course, no reason why they should not build a hut wherever they chose, but there is the cynical fact that it alone of the whole visible landscape remains intact. Everything else of the works of God and man is destroyed. Prom St. Quentin itself arises the smoke of the bonfire, the kind of bonfire that all through the German retreat we saw in village after village which the British and French soldiers n back for France. ■ 3 Co., Brockvi :, Ont.

Censor's Generosity. In his book, "The Balkan War," Mr. Philip Gibbs tells the following story. The official regulations for the correspondents sent out there were appallingly severe. Mr. Gibbs found that he was forbidden to describe the disposition of the troops, to give the names of generals, the names and numbers of the wounded, the success or failure of Bulgarian troops, th< state of the soldiers' health, and so on When the censor had told all this Mr. Gibbs politely asked; "Will you tell me, sir, if there is anythihg about which we shall be allowed to Write J" The censor thought deeply for 8 moment and then answered quite little "after-the-war" plant it is to the farm their minds have been turning. Now Sergt. Salter, a farmer himself, wants "literature" to tell the rest all about it. Sergt. Salter's letter, writter from Giessen, follows: "Gentlemen,--Would you be kind enough to forward me some literature appertaining to farming in Ontario and other provinces, as there are quite a number of my fellow-prisoners who are seriously contemplating emigrating to Canada after the war. As I am a farmer myself, I want to do all I can to get men to work the land, which our Dominion is so much in need of. So I would be glad of any official information which I could hand around to my fellow-prisoners who contemplate emigrating to Canada, also a few illustrated pamphlets, showing the machinery with which we farm." If the department can get it through, Sergt. Salter will get all the "literature" he needs for effective propaganda. Ilinard's liniment Cores Dandruff. Foggy Weather Light.
