N dani A Good Appetite A Great Blessing The Occasional Use of a Tonic Will Ensure a Good Appetite and Good Health. Loss of appetite during the sum- mer months is a common trouble, and indicates that the digestive sys- tem 1s out of order. Lacking a healthy appetite many people espec- fally women--go too long without food, or eat sparingly becaure food seems to distress them, and it is no they coniplain-of being con- ired unable to stand the r. All this simply means estive system is not do- uld come from the distributed to the varidus organs of the body. In other words the blood is growing thin and watery. In such cases what is need- ed is a summer tonic, and among all medicines there is no tonic can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Take a short treatment' with thede pills and notice how promptly your appetite re- turns and your power to digest food improves. Your food will then do you good, your strength will regurn and you will no longer complain that the hot weather tires you out. Mrs. M. Kelly, Windsor; Ont,, says: sy suffered from indigestion for sev- eral years, and although T was con- stantly taking doctors' prescriptions they did not cure me, and the result was that 1 was greatly run down, and always feeling poorly. Finally | was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and as I soon found they were helping me I continued their use un- til 1 was fully cured, and am now able to properly digest any food I take. As a 'tonic and blood-builder I. know of nb medicine to equal Dr, Williams' Pink Pills; and 1 recom- mend them te all in need of a medi- cine." wo The best time to begin taking Dr. Willian®®" Pink Pills is the mom nt you feel the least bit out of sorts, The soorier you do so the sooner you will regain your old time energy. You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cénts a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co, Brockville, Ont. Buffers Serious Burns.

Bexhill-on-Sea, Eng., June 5 --- (To the Editor): I wish to ask what good it doeg to send men to the front to be killed or wounded by the enemy when any sane man, whether he has been in the front line br, mot, knows that {if the brass on our equipment is polished it is hound to attract the attention bf enemy airmen. Yet one sees the battalions going wp the fine with polished brasses. The oificers seem to think that polished brass ig more important than the men's lives. Our artillery 'men, also the airmen, com- plained to the infantry about our shining bass attracting . the en- emy'g- attention, yet no attention was paid to it. It (was in the front line .Jast summer and after two weeks my brass was bright in the sun. All brass would and would be darkened easily by exposing it to the effect of chlorine gas a few min- utes, as I know by experience when getting my gas respirator dested. The buttons came out very- dark. Fritz has more sense than to polish ary mastal. J was at the fourth divi- sional sehool, and only a matter of ten aniles back of the line, and we polished mp every morning. Could not some ne with authority take the matter up and stop the silly practice? There are many things that would be mentioned, t pri- vates do mot dare to report MW they were found out swift punish- ment would be their lot. Ap order making lit a crime to wolish any metal within twenty miles of the front line would be a blessing to the wien und give better satisfaciion all around.
