The mother who calls to mind her own girlhood knows how urgently her daughter is likely to need help and strength in the years between early school days and womanhood. It is then that growing girls droop, e feeble, bloodless and mner- vous. Nature is calling for more nourishment than the blood can sup- ply. Signs of distress are plainly evident in dull eyes, pale cheeks, weak and aching backs, fits of de- pression and often a dislike for pro- per food. These signs mean anaemia --that is bloodlessness. The watchful mother takes prompt steps to give her girl the new, rich, red blood her system calls for, by giving her Dr. Williams Pink Pills, which transform, weak, anaemic girls into a condition of perfect health, through the rich new blood these pills actually make.

Poisoned Herself Peterboro, May 25.--A woman named Dolly Simpson, alias Mrs. Thibault, died as a result of self- administered 'carbolic acid. Her house had been raided by the police as disorderly. On a plea of dress- ing to-go to the cell, she entered a room and took poison and died an hour later. She has been drawing separation allowance as the wife of Private Thibault, 39th overseas Bat- talion, but was not married. Doctor Greer, coroner, is holding an inquest. Major George Kay, Stratford, who went overseas with the 34th Bat- talion, has been appéinted manager of the Claims and Pensions Board of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces, Thomas Murray, Principal of Owen Sound Collegiate Institute, died somewhat suddenly of nervous exhaustion followed by bronchitis.

At any moment they can reduce the enemy to the defen- Sive on any and every side. But the autumn offensives in Champagne and Artois taught their authors many things. They effected more in a few days than the Crown Prince has won on the Meuse in three months. Difference of Strength "Here is a measure of the differ- ence of strength today, The Ger- man command undertook the Battle of Verdun because it could not con- template a larger operation, and it is now so deeply involved that it cannot draw out. The Allies, on the other hand, are so bent upon a vast- ly larger operation, which they hope willsbe decisive, that they prefer to risk local and momentary losses rather than postpone the day when common their knockout blow, "It would, therefore, be unfair to General Joffre and the generals, offi- cers and men directly concerned to regard the struggle north of Verdun as a fair trial of strength. Vast as are its proportions and the sacrifices involved, it is overshadowed by a coming event, incomparably greater. The enemy strategy, whether on the Meuse or on the Adige, is to destroy this menace by abortion. "It is at once the weakness and the strength of the Allies that while puting forth these points just suffi- ciény defensive effort, they must nev- er compromise the supremely impor- tant work of preparation."

If you wake up with a bad taste, bad breath and tongue is coated; if your head is dull or aching; if what you eat sours and forms gas and acid in stomach, or you are bilious, constipated, nervous, sallow and can't get feeling just right, begin inside bathing. Drink before break. fast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will flush the poisons and toxins from stomach, liver, kid- neys and bowels and cleanse, sweet- en and purify the entire alimentary tract. Do your inside bathing im- mediately upon arising in the morn- ing to wash out of the system all the previous day's poisonous waste, gases and sour bile before putting more food into the stomach. To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and nmscles became loaded with body impurities, get from your @ quarter pound of lime stone phosphate which, is inexpen~ sive and almost tasteless, except for a sourish twinge, which is not un- pleasant. Just as soap and hot water aet on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshening, so hot water and lime- stone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Men' and women who are usually consti- pated, bilious, headachy of have any stomach disorder should begin this inside bathing before . breakfast.
