‘ him'_‘_NI§EII'Wâ€"Wl A SAFE TONIC ,Llnd There Is Nothing Better Than ‘ Dr. William’ Pink Pills for Toning Up tha Blond. It is said that women’s work is {never done, and it is a. fact that whether in society or in the home her life is filled with more cares and more worries than falls to the lot of man. For this reason women are compelled regretfully to watch the growing pallor of their cheeks, the coming of wrinkles and the thinness that becomes more dis- tressing every day. Every woman knows that ill«hcalth and worry is afatal enemy to beauty, and that good health gives the plainest face an enduring attractiveness. ' What women fail to recognize is the fact that if the blood supply is kept rich and pure, the day of the coming of wrinkles and pallor, dull Eyes and sharp headaches is im- measurably postponed. Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills are literally worth their weight in gold to growing 'rls and women of mature years. ‘ hey, fill the veins with the rich, red blood that brings brightness to the eye, the glow of health to sal- low cheeks, and charms away the headaches and backaches that ren- iler the lives of so many women iconstantly miserable. .‘ Mrs. William Jones, Crow Lake, but, says: “I feel that Dr. wuâ€" lliams’ Pink Pills saved my life. I ’was en badly run down that I could ardly drag myself around. 1' was 150 bloodless that I was as pale as )asheet, and you could almost see {through my hands. In fact the doc~ tor told me my blood had all turned to water. I was taking medicine constantly, but without benefit. My mother had so much faith in Dr. IWilliams’ Pink Pills that she bought me two boxes and urged me ;to take them. How thankful I am “that I followed her advice. Before these were gone I began to feel 5better, and I continued using the :Pills until I had taken five more boxes. when I was again enjoying tbe'blcssing of perfect health, with a. good color in my face, a good appetite, and I feel sure a new lease of life. I will always, you may be sure, be a. warm friend of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.” If you are weak or ailing, begin 'io cure yourself to-day with the mob 'red blood Dr. Willi-ams’ Pink Pills actually make. If you do not find the Pills at your dealer’s, send ISO cents for a box or $2.50 for six boxes to the Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont, and they will be sent you by mail, post paid. -.____.& Fact and Fancy. then men get tight, they talk loose.

B. Steal-n5 Company of Cleveland seems to have been merely the beginning of the taking :Up of this motor by several promi- nent firms thnnughout the United States. The achievement of the Knight :Motor. both in this country andl .abroad, have induced the Molinel rAutomobile Company of Molina! 111., to adopt it. This company will I have cars equipped with the power-i ful Knight Motor on the market by? the first of the year. , Scarcely second in importance to' their announcement in regard to!

Germany Warned of French Porll. Prince Bernhard von Bulow, formerly German imperial chancellor the other day abandoned the silence which he once declared he would malntaIn until death. He does this In order to warn his oountry~ men. he says. that Invotorato hostility to Germany Is the soul of‘ French policy. This. 110 declares. wILl continue to be so long as Frenchmen have the slightest hope of :- alning Alsace-Lorraine by their own corks or with outside assist- nnoo. Prince von Bulow oxpreesel this con- Vlotlon In n review of German politics. He polnta out the folly of Ignoring this Inbred hostility of the French and of try- lng to arrange German relations with France on any other basis. “It Is idle to hope for a reconciliation with France," he says, “without restoring the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. The French determination to attack Germany whenever there Is a prospect of success must continue to be a. factor in the cal- culations of statesmen. Germany should try to maintain courteous ‘and correct re- latIons with France. with whom she‘ can cooperate In minor questions, but she should not chase fantasies nor aspire to overcome France‘s ingrained ranoor by compliments." Prince von Bulow does not criticize the French, declaring that he fully compre- bends their attitude. On the other hand, he. oritlclnes indirectly the emperor's oo- cssionul holding out of the olive branch. Legion of Honor Loses Value. Members of the French Legion of Honor are so numerous in France that the once highly prized little strip of red ribbon has almost ceased to be a mark of particular distinction. During recent years a. num- ber of prominent Frenchmen have even refused it, saying'that they preferred not to have a decoration rather than accept one which had become so common. Al- most all the other French orders have shared a similar fate. The only decoration which appears to have kept its place and original value Is the Labor 0rdergcon- ferred on employee who have worked for the same firm for thirty years or more. Page Plus a Toalotallor. Pius X. has introduced some rather menu; of the Vat-lean, notably in diapers lmr the world famed cellars of priceless vintages, the presents of kings and em- perors. It Is Well known that the Po a Is a man of great austerity of life, an al- though wine to an Itallan is as innocent, and natural a beverage as water. he is himself a toototaller. and wishes to en- courage the practice of water drinking. The immediate 'cauee of this move of Pius X. is said to be the» obstreperous be- havior of some of the members of the Papal guard. Whether this is true or not seems a moot point, for Italians are very seldom guilty of excessive drinking. A House For Three Dents a Day. An attractive scheme for the betterment of the French working classes has just been proposed by M. Oberon, Minister of Labor, and supported by the Minister of Finance. It Is not intended to be compul- sory. A workman by setting apart three cents a day can assure for himself the owner- ship of a. house, a certain capital sum and. a pension for his old age. Thus a. man taking out a deposit book In the name of his son and having inscribed therein a monthly sum_equa to the rate of three cents a day is sure that the beneficiary on reaching the age of 25 earn will re- ceive a sum of over 3250. 11.)) this the young man can enter Into possession of a $1,500 house. paying the remainder of the purchase money by instalments. Should be 610 before completion his heirs by virtue of an insurance combina- tion become the absolute owners of the house without having to pay another cent. If the young man continues the payments; of three cents a. day his ,old age pension at 60 will be just under $95, while in case 0; 1312120 death his heirs will receive a sum 0 . .

Iceland Is extremely "dry" in the sense that all importation or sale of alcoholic liquor is forbidden by law. It is some little time now that this law has been 111 operation, and no one has complained about it except the foreign consuls. who do not see why they should be prevented from indulging st meal times and on fes- tlve occasions in a moderate amount of stimulant. They therefore recently appealed in a body to the Icelandic Government for an. exception to be made In their favor. The Althlnz. or Chamber. has just acceded to their request and adopted a clause known popularly as the “diplomatic dram clause“ by which foreign consuls are hencefoth permitted to Import once every wear a “not excessive” quantity of assort- ed alcoholic drinks, which must be con- sumed within the four walls of the con- eulate. This proved satisfactory to the consuls until the qliestion of interpretation arose. It now seems that only two members of the consular body benefit by the exemp- tion clause. They are those of France and Norway, who alone have been sent. out from their respective countries. The other consuls are local men and to them the exemption does not apply. The French and Norwegian consuls are enjoying a striking and increasing popularity among their colleagues. A Woman Aged 120 Years. Hedwig Stawnc. “goose girl" of the vil- lage of Dormowo. Prussian Poland. has produced for official inspection a birth record showing that she was 120 years old Oct. 15. It. is admitted by the rcgletra-l lion. authorities that so far no they can discover she is rho only woman alive in Germany who saw Napoleon's “grand army" march through Poland to Invade Russia. The fitted woman does her own market- Ing. When the weather is reasonably fine she look-3 after the villnge genes, as she did when she-was a. child. Her eye-I sight is excellent. She knits most of her, own woollen clothing amhstockmge. and for others. Her memory is clear. In all her 120 years the most eventual Incident~ was the passing of a part of lung: Jerome's wing of the grand army through Pliscbcn. where she was born, and later of :1 few stragqlcl'u and outriders of the Russian ('wsscks. Her childhood recollections are of lunch. and secret tramps into the forests sur- round her birthplnce to take food to her father, who had fled Into the forget “1111 his cattle to escape the plundering (‘oru sucks. Jerome‘s troops were well-behaved. according: to Hedwig. The only difficulty was that fllev. would not out black bread and had to have geese and chickens. Paris. Dec. 1. 191% Angel F0011. '.

James Berry was not so well paid for his services as his French conâ€" frere, M. Antoine Diebler, who draws £560 a year, while his four assistants have a similar amount to divide between them. Sanson, the first executioner to wield the guil- lotine, was originally paid £l,520‘a your, but when executioncrs were appointed in each department this was reduced to £800. Before the Revolution the legal tariff in France was 25s. for a beheading, 16s. 8d. for a burning at the stake, and the same amount for a hang- ing, with allowances for the erec- tion of a, scaffold or the provision 9f fuel- one 05 James BBI'I'Y’S pm- in which Edward Dennis, smmmmmmww WINNIPEG v MONTREAL Whit All ingredients are plainly printed .\\.\h a uh We unhesitatingly recommend Magic Baking Powder as being the best, purest and most healthful baking pow- der that it is possible to produce.
