Girls ypon the threshold of woman- | of all care and attention, How often | one sees girls who have been strong! and lively become suddenly weak, de-| pressed, irritable and listless, It is | the dawn of womanhood--a crisis in the life of every girl---and prompt measures should be taken fo keep the blood pure and rich with the red tint of health. If the blood is not healthy at this critical stage the body is weak- ened and grave disorders follow. Dr. Williams Pink Pills have saved thous- have been lifelong invalidism or an early death. They are a blood-builder of unequalled richness, strengthening weak nerves and producing a Fberal supply of red, healthy blood which every girl needs to sustain her strength. Dr: Williams Pink Pills have proved their, great value over 'and over again to young women whose health was failing. Miss A. Stern- burg, Haileybury Road, New Liskeard, Ont., says:--4I have much reason to be grateful to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as they restored me to health, if, in- deed, they. did 'gpt save my life. In 1914 I began to feel run down, and the doctor who was ealled in said that mine was a bad case of anaemia, I lost flesh, always felt tired, and I got s0 nervous that I could scarcely hold would flutter alarmingly. The doctor all and my family and friends all thought that I was in a decline and could-not recover. I was in bed for some weeks when an aunt came to see me and urged that I try Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. My father got a supply, and by the time I had taken three boxes there was a noticeable im- provement, and from that on I stead- ily progressed toward recovery. I con- tinued using the pills for some time longer, and they restored me to my old time health and strength. I shall never cease to praise this medicine, and. to urge all weak run-down girls to give it a fair trial as I have proved in my own case their great merit." - Dr. Williams' Pink Pills-are sold by all dealers in medicine, or you can get them by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for . $2.60 from The Dr. Wil- liams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont, Novia, | gl MERCHANT NAVY'S UTILITY. i -- The Country With Largest Merchant Marine Will Lead Post-War Trade.

The shipping firms of Dinmark, Norway, Sweden, Holland and the United States, potwithstanding losses, hood often drift into a decline in spite | have grown fat and powerful on war | rates, without heavy taxes or requi- sitions, Britain's trade supremacy de- pends on whether it can keep pace in the construction era with its com- petitors in the aggregate. The intima- tion from British naval authorities that as soon as the immense energy devoted to warship construction can be turned to building merchant ves- sels, remarkable output is ' assured, may well be believed. During the war a million tons of new warships, from giant super-Dreadnoughts mounting 17-inch guns, to destroyers and sub- marines, has been launched. This energy, applied to the turning out of standardized merchant vessels, would speedily distance German and neutral competition, In the grand race for markets, for commercial recuperation, the country with the dominant merchant marine, able to seize the carrying trade of most of the world, will triumph. It is of utmost consequence that Britain specialize in heading off German am- bition in this direction, eg Revival of Jet Industry. An industry in England that began a thousand years hefore the Christian era and was practically given up half a century ago has been revived since the war began. It is the making of ornaments out of jet. This material is believed to be wood that has gone through. an age-long process, per- haps a slow burning. It is a cousin of coal, a second cousin of box oak. Sometimes the tracing of a primeval fern is ground in its grain. Jet rosa- ries are now, it is said, in special de- mang. Arthur Machen, an English wri says that jet ornaments "pass- ed out of popularity with horse hair sofas and ecrinolines, with thé paint- ings of Landseer and Frith, witlf all those brave mid-Victorian things." The Victorians reveled in funerals with heavy plumes and hatbands and lavish crepe and jet, which is black, fitted with a scheme of things that has passed away.. But it is coming into its own again, though where once 1,500 or 2,000 workmen were employ- ed in cutting and polishing ornaments of jet there are now scarcely one-tenth of that number; and these are mostly men too old for service in the army. i arr Granulated Eyelids, ore Eyes inflamed by expo- sure to Sus, Dust and Wind i uickly relieved by Murine Eyes: ly.

COCOANUT BUTTER. An Excellent Substitute for Butter Comes From Cuba. The Cubitas Valley, on the north shore of Cuba, is not a dairy country, and butter at fifty cents to a dollar , 8 pound, and scarce at that, has made jus look round a bit for a substitute, ,88ys a writer in The Country Gentle- man. This is what we have found: Butter made of cocoanuts is entirely as good as, and some people think better than, that which is made of cow's milk. | Grind the meat of the nut as fine as { you can with a good grinder, and to | each nut add a pint of beiling water; {put it in a press to se very much like cow's milk in looks and taste, It can be used on cereal, in coffee, for custards or anything for which one would use cow's milk. From this stage the treatment that we follow is just the same as that ordinarily used for cow's milk--let the milk stand and the cream rise; sour it and churn. After washing out the buftermilk, salt and make into rolls or moulds. I always color it, otherwise it will be white; any butter coloring will do.

WOMEN'S WORK IN WAR TIME. In Britain and in France Women Serve in Freedom's Cause. In England there are four hundred thousand women directly engaged in munitions work, and six hundred thousand in work connected with the war, not to mention those on street cars, etc. There is scarcely a position in England to.day filled by a man whose work could be done by a wo- | man. In one munitions plant in Eng-! land 18,000 women are working; in another 10,000. In one plant, where workers, 4,400 are ;women.. There was a prejudice at fl first against women working in man- 'ufacturing plants, but this prejudice has entirely disappeared, and manu- facturers who objected now agree that the results have been highly sat- isfactory. In some sections the wo- In were to be found, just women.
