Why sometimes when they're fast asleep You have to get up in the night And go and see that they're all right. But what they cost in constant care And worry, does not half compare With what they bring of joy and bliss, You'd pay much more for just a kiss. 88, Who buys a baby has to pay A portion of the bill each day; He has to give his time and thought Unto the little one he's bought. He has to stand a lot of pain Inside his heart and not complain. And pay with lonely days and sad, For all the happy days he's had, All this a baby costs, and yet His smile is worth it all, you bet. ~--Detroit Free Press. 600D RICH BLOOD MEANSGOOD HEALTH lst 2 Lite Mor Reh, Red Blood Cares Most Ailments. The lack of sufficient rich, red blood does not end merely in a pale complexion. It is much more seri- ous, Bloodless people are tired, lan- guid, run-down folk who do not en- Joy life. Food does . not nourish; there's indigestion, heart palpitation, headache, backache, and nearly ail- Ways nervousness, If this blood- lessness is negleeted. too long, a de- cline is sure to follow. Just a little more rich, red blood cures all these troubles. Then you have new { health, new viality and pleasure in life, To get more rich, red blood the remedy is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. No other medicine increases and enriches the blood so quickly or 80 surely. This is not a mere claim. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done this over and over again throughout why thousands of people always have a good word to say for this medicine. Miss Gertrude Haffner, Kingston, Ont., says:---"About two years ago I was suffering greatly with anae- mia, 80 much so that I had to give up my situation. 1 became so weak that I could scarcely walk without help. I had no ambition, no color, no appetite, and was constantly troubled with headaches and dizzy spells. I was taking medicine from the doctor, but it did not do me a particle of good. One day a friend asked me if I had tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, Though as the result of my condition I was greatly discour- aged, I began the use of the Pills, and thanks to that good friend's ad- vice after using a few boxes 1 began to feel much better, Under the con- tinued use of the pills I gained in weight, my color came back and I grew gradually stronger. I looked 50 much better that people would ask me what I was taking and I had no hesitation in giving the credit to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. 1 am so grateful for what this medicine has done for mg that I will do all 1 can to extend its use." You can get these pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Killed Going On Leave.

The Falkland Islands, where Sir Ernest Shackleton recently found a haven after the hardships of a peril- ous Antarctic expedition, have fig- ured seldom In world news since 1833, when the British flag was firm- ly planted over the land which, to- gether with South Georgia, constl- tutes the Empire's "farthest south" « Peninsular possessions. The Falkland group is described in a bulletin is- sued by the National Geographic So- ciety, which says: "Except when some unfortunate skipper is compelled to cast anchor in the harbor of Port Stanley, where the damage wrought by the fierce storms of Cape Horn can be expensively re- paired, the Falkland Islands are sel- dom visited, save by the monthly mailboat from England. It must have been a sensational news event, there- fore, when the 900 Port Stanley in- habitants and the 1,100 other peo- ple heard that the intrepid explor- er, Sir Ernest Shackleton, had ar- rived with five companions, after having lost his ship, the Endurance, in the Antarctic ice last October. "Not since the thrilling naval en- gagament off the Falklands in De- cember, 1914, when a British squad- ron under Vice-Admiral Sturdee sank the German cruisers, Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Leipsic, and captured two colliers have these islands fig- ured so prominently in the news of the day as now. "The Falklands are among Great Britains' colonial possessions which cling to the very fringe of civiliza- tion. They comprise an area some- what larger than the Bahama group and He 2560 miles east of mainland of South America and more than 1,200 miles south of Buenos Ayres, Only two of the islands are of con- siderable size-- East Falkland, which is about five-sixths as large as Puerto Rico, and West Falkland, with an area somewhat less than that of the State of Delaware. "While the climate of the Falk- land group is comparatively mild, the rigors of its winters in no degree approaching the cold of the south- east coast of Labrador, which lies in the corresponding parallels of lati- tude in the northern hemisphere, yet the islands are not an agreeable place in which to live, as a penetrat- ing, drizzling rain is experienced here during 250 days of the year. "Except for the palm-resembling tussock-grass, which furnishes excel- lent forage for the herds of cattle, flocks of sheep, and droves of wild horses on the islands, there is little vegetation. The commerce, which does not reach a million dollars a year, consists chiefly of the exporta- tion of wool, hides, tallow, and froz- en mutton. Extensive peat bogs sup- ply the Scotch shepherds with a satis- factory fuel. "During the last quarter of the eighteenth century Spain laid claim to the islands, and for a time threat- ened to go to war with England over their control. The territory belonged to the British Empire by right of discovery, however, for just 100 years after Columbus reached Ameri- can shores John Davis, one of . the most dauntless navigators of the Elizabethan era, sighted this land while on his return voyage from the Straits of Magellan, where his su- perior, Thomas Cavendish, had met with disaster. This is the Davis who is reputed to have been in command of the Black Dog during the memor- able overthrow of the Spanish Ar- mada, and who ranks with Baffin and Hudson as the great triumvirate of early Arctie explorers, "Nearly a century and threequar- ters after Davis' discovery the ex- plorer De Bougainville raised the standard of France over these is- lands, and the latter Government ceded the territory to Spain in 1767. It was upon this cession that Spain based her claims, which she seemed ready to enforce with arms until 1771. The reassertion of British rights in 1833 marked the withdraw- al of the colonial claims of the peo- ple of Buenos Ayres." epee Work for Soldiers, An Edinburgh professor in a re- cent letter to a mewspaper, suggests new work for wounded soldiers. Apropos of the suggested tax on cats, he says: In place of taxing cats, I would urge the Government to or- ganize, not after the war, but now, a fully equipped and efficient depart- ment for the extermination of rats, and employ wounded soldiers to do the mechanical part of it. The 'sys- tematic breeding, collecting, and dis- tributing of types of cats known to be superior ratters, would -comprise an important section of the work, but, to make a clean sweep of the most destructive animal pest from which the country groans, much light labor and personal supervision, and a good deal of simple laboratory work under scientific expert guid- ance would be necessary. By this means many men whom the country might find congenial employment not to mention the saving to the country of an enormous sum of tax- able wealth, mies s-- Quaint Coins, Among the strangest coins in the world are those used in certain out- of-the-way towns and villages in South-West Algeria, on the West Coast of Africa, and called manilas. In shape they resemble a horseshoe, with the two extremities flattened out like a camel's foot. Being made of solid copper, %in. thick, they weigh { over 8oz. each. In "face valle" seven of these queer coins are equi- valent to one shilling, so that a erown"s worth would be an uncom- fortably heavy load! To Pave the Way.
