LITTLE GIRL NOW A PICTURE OF HEALTH Suffered Day and "Night For Years--After Taking Tan lac Looks Like Differ= ent Child. "My little daughter Jean, has gain- od ten punds on Tanlae and now she's. e of health," said Jim wn poultry and {rack farmer of Raleigh, Tenn. When Jean was only seven years old," continued Mr. Snell, "she was taken with something liké nervous . 8tomach trouble, and there wasn't a day or night she didn't suffer, until we got Tanlae for her, and she's now fifteen years old. Her stomach was in such a bad condition she had to live on toast and eggs and milk, tind she couldn't eat any kind of meats or vegetables. She complained of pains in ther stomach all the time and would spit up half-digested food. She was nervous and would toss and roll all night, for she couldn't sleep wéll at all. She was bilious and her com- plexion was bad, and she looked pale and sickly all the time. We gave her most every kind of medicine we could think of, but nothing helped her, "After hearing of some of the good work Tanlac was doing, we got some for Jean, and it has dome wonders for her. She commenced picking up as soon as she started Tanlac, and whe bas gained ten pounds. She nev: er has indigestion now, and eats just anything she wants--even such things as beans and other vegetable, and meat of all kinds. Why, she ate corn for dinner yesterday, and it was the' first time in eight years she dared taste vorn, and she eats boiled bacon that's cooked with vegetables, She's not nervous nor bilious now, and sleeps 1tke a baby, and we never nagar anything out 'of her from the tine she goes to bed until she gets up in the mornings. Her wkin has cleared apssngd her gheeks look fresh and rosy. You can just look at her and tell she's enjoying good health." Tanlae is sold in Kingston by "A. P.

But senti- ment will not keep a poem alive, It will not bring to each mew reading a fresh and engaging mood of beauty and enjoyment. Sentiment is like one of those perishable fabrics in which the texture is destroyed along with the pattern. "In Flanders Fields" is the embodiment and expression of & mood crystallized by a profound and durable idea; an idea born from the stress of a great experience in the eventful and eritical hour of hu- man sacrifice. The experience itself will pass, has passed away "along with the terrible realities of time and place and participation, but the spiritual residue that is left becomes one of those eternal and immortal symbols which keep true and un- wavering the rectitude of men's vis- ion and preserves for them the bene- fits of sacrifices so gladly and un- selfishly made. I really think "In Flanders Fields" is a great poem, great in a sort of solemn temerity which blooms with conviction at overy reading. It has the same elevated mood, the same profound Substance, and communicates the same exalted vision as Lincoln's Gettysburg address. As often as Mo- Crae's rondeau has been quoted, it is always a privilege to have it make the occasion rich by ifs presence. ~ In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and.in the k sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly, Scarce heard amid the guns below, We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields, Take up our quarrel with the foe; To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high, If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. As has often happened in times of great stress among mankind, the substance of the stress is gathered and focussed by the non-professional poets, Though Col. McCrae wrote and published a number of paems and perhaps loved the art with an almost professional passion, he was a phy- sician who had made s name for himself in scientific medicine, "In Flanders Fields" has been printed in a volume with twenty-nine other poems, none of which is touched with anything like the finality of force and substance of that poem. Indeed, ex- tept for three or four, they are rath- er commonplace in theme, though ex- pressed with that Sisuinetion of form which © ¢ terizes e "poppy" poem, aan quite often the form of the u, and In one oth- er effort, at } , in "The Night Com- eth," gives us a glimpse of the grace and conception which we associate with him in the one Supreme per- | formance, This is the poem: Cometh the night. The wind falls low, CANADA AND TOYLES. IIs Time We Decided What We Shall Do. What is Canada going to settle down to in the matter of titles? Probably nearly all win agree 'that the social and economic conditions of .this country aré unsuited to héredi- tary titles; and it is equally natural that the development of democratie feeling should make the vox populi pronounce with inereasing decision against knighthoods, though they are not hereditary, especially as they are suspeoted of being the reward, very frequently, of wire-pulling, and of THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1919. _ party, rather than public, services. On the other hand so long as we re- main a united Empire and subjects of the King it seems a pity and an anomaly that, under no eireum- stances, should public service be per~ mitted to receive titular recognition at the hands of the savereign. Might not & wise compromise be found by distinguishing between prefixes and affixes; in stopping the former, but not the latter? Every graduate of a university is entitled to an affix of B.A or MA or LLB. as the case may be. Why then should affixes such as C.B, C.M.G., or 0.B.E., be object- ed to? Affixes will never minister to snobbishness as prefixes may une doubtedly do; nor would they tempt in nearly the same degree to wire- pulling for the obtaining of them. No doubt it may be objected -- Why should colonial subjects be thus con- fined to the lower stages of the of ders of knighthood? But there is no reason why they should) All that is necessary is to bar the use of the prefix "Sir." Apart from this & Canadian could still be a K.C.B. or & K.C.M.G., or hold any other knight- hood. Already the same thing is the case with foreign honorary members of these orders, Gen. Pershing Is, we believe, a G.C.B. But he would not think of using the prefix "Sir." Apart from this, however, and even if Canadians were not permitted to accept more than .the C.B. or the C.M.G., and not the K.C.B. or the K.C.M.G. would that be any ground of objection when it was done purely at the request and in accordance with the wish of this country ?---The Cana. dian Law Times. ------------------ Authors Had Grievances, For many years the copyright law has been antiquated and unfair. Some of the handicaps under which Canadian auth and composers worked were,-- 1. Canada is the only country that does not recognize the composer's control over the reproduction of his work by phonograph records, player- piano rolls, ete, : 2. Canadian writers have no con- trol over the reproduction of their work in moving pictures. It is a cur- rent complaint that there are not enough Canadian films. There would be more of them if there were any inducements for Canadians to write, 3. The writer of a Canadian book has no control over the translation into a foreign language. 4. The writer of Canadian fiction has no control over its dramatisa- tion. 6.. The Canadian dramatist has no, control over the rewriting of his play a8 a novel. 6. The present method of regis- tration of articles by newspapers is inadequate and inconvenient. 7. Under the British Act, the term of copyright is the life of the author plus fifty years, In Canada, it is only 28 plus 14 years.

Nothing ever made absorbs pain out of a corn like Putnam's Extrac- tor, It dissolves the hard crust, acts quickly, never fails, and above all, it brings the troubler out by the roots, You'll be satisfied with Putnam's Extractor because it's an old time remedy that is just as represented.

Don't use prepar- ed shampoos or anything else, that contains too much alkali, for this is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain 6d cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely grenseless. It's very cheap, and beats anything else all to pieces. You can get this at en Ay store, and a few ounces last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with wat. er and rub it in, about a teaspoon- ful is all that is required, It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily.
