I suffered frequently severe héadaches, my appetite failed, and my friends feared I was going into consumption. I had been doctoring but did not derive any benefit, and finally I had to give up my work and return home, It was at this stage that a friend brought me a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and the box was used I thought they were _ helping me, and decided to continue e pills.

Why an Erect Position is Tiring to Human Beings. As human beings we are supp: to stand erect, and therefore standin straight ought to be the most natural and easiest thing in-the world. There are few things, however, which are as fatiguing as holding an erect position for a long time or when we are tired. Thé reason which medical men have given for this is that man is recently evolved from the lower species which are not able to stand erect, and that as yet we are not fully adjusted to holding ourselves upright. Our hip bone does not fit vertically into the bones of the pelvic girdle. This does not lie directly under the spine, The upright position is maintained only by a soliples cross-strain of one set of muscles pulling forward and another set of muscles pulling back- ward. This demands a new adjust- . ment with every movement. It is a tremendous muscular strain which holds the hip bone and leg joints ! which has to meet the ustment of keeping the body erect. The most natural way to 'reliéye it is to slump a little to one . sidgand throw the weight, upon one gi In this way. the joints are placed more directly up and down and so reduce the width of the angle which is formed by the hip bone not fitting vertically into the bones of the pelvie girdle. : ~The fact that military men have employed this means of gaining rest when in drill is not without signifi- ~ cance. When the order is given "At ease" or "In place--rest," the weight is shifted to one leg. a ew Prosperity gives us friends and ad- ersity proves them . of | of the Army, who fell as he fought. {flower commemorative of her There will be mothers, white haired, with little touches of Father Time he was a baby, then to fold her hands and to pray for the time when she can join him, her hero, her Little Boy Blue You think of her to-day and wear a ure and noble life. Yes, think of unt dear old mother to-day, and if she is far away write to her. If she has gone beyond the reach of letters, go now to where she sleeps and kneel be- side her grave, as once you knelt be- side her knee. If she is still near yous~Ilucky per- son that you are--go to her and allow your arms\ to 1 softly about her neck and kiss her. Kiss her and brush aside the straying gray hair and whisper to her that you love her, and that she is your "bestest girl of all." And remember, that while you are grown up into manhood or wo- manhood, to everyone else in the world, to one person you are still that happy, smiling, cooing little be- ing who played at her feet in. the years of long ago, the most wonder- ful treasure of all the treasures in the world--her baby. And so, if the tears come to her eyes as she sits and holds your hands tight against her breast, if she is silent with those mo- ther lips quivering in their worldless ecstasy, don't be ashamed if the tears should come to your own eyes, too. And kiss the tears away and be proud and happy of the opportunity-- and think of thoséswho would give many and many a year of their life for the same privilege. And remember, as you do so, that the lane of life is long and the pathway of love has many turnings. But there is One who never falters as she treads her way along it towards the sunset. One who never wavers come what will, and that One is Mother. If she is gone, gone into that quiet haven where there are no worries, no troubles, no nights and days of anguish .~for the safety and comfort of those who were | a part of her life, her heart, her be- inig--if she has gone onward to the peace her quiét love has earned, are you going out today to the little mound wherein she rests, and whisper a benediction over her, a little psalm to your. Maker that He keep Her safe within His arms? Yes, yod are, for you are a man or a woman--and to- day is Mother's Day! ° po RIVERS OUT OF THE ORDINARY.

ENCOURAGE CULTIVATION Campaign by Canadian Pacific Ry. to Meet Food Shortage. In order to encourage the settle- ment and cultivation of vacant lands in the Western Provinces, the Cana- dian Pacific Railway Company, through its Colonization and Develop- ment Department, of which Mr. J. S. Dennis is the head, has undertaken 'an active campaign to try and induce absentee owners to cultivate their holdings. A circular has been issued to some 8,000 absentee owners, pointing out the profits which can be made by cultivating their lands, and showing how many farmers sold their last years' crop for more than the original cost of their farms. The Company offers the advice and assistance of its Colonization and Development Department free of charge, in supplying reliable informa- tion as to how to go about getting the land under cultivation and will send, on request, the fullest details as » routes of travel, SEvioms fegula ong, passenger and freight rates an simile roy 2 ® 5 In undertaking this camaign the Company is following its usual broad policy of Dominion-wide development, realizing that every new settler means greater production to meet the food shortage which at present threatens the world, 'and which Canada, with itg extensive - and fertile unplowed ime and clearness.
