They do not pick up strength as they ought; remain list- less tired and discouraged. >The rea- son for this is that the blood has been impoverished by the ravage of the disease through which the victim has passed. Strength will not re- turn until the blood has been enrich- ed. The blood can be purified and enriched by no other medicine as quickly and as surely as by Dr. Wil- liams Pink Pills--to enrich the blood and strengthen the nerves is the whole mission of these pills. Tas sands have found them beneficial bringing strength and energy 7%, disease had left them weak and run dewn. ~~ Miss Hannah Hamilton, Ev- erett, Ont., says:--"After an attack of la grippe I was so run downs and anaemic that I could scarcely "walk. I had no color, no appetite, and stant headaches. The medicine I was taking was doing me no good and I had almost lost hope of getting bet- ter. I was asked to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and it was not long until I could feel that they were helping me, and after taking them for a couple of months I was completely cured.

A MATTER OF OF CLIMATE. Effect of the Atingaphere on Human Speech. What makes the German and Rus- sian languages so harsh and guttural, so unpleasant to the ear, and the lang- uages of Italy, France and Spain so fluent, mellifluous and charming? The former are rasping and sharp, the latter liquid and soothing. Science explains this, as it does most of the commonplace phenomena, by | simple, natural means. It is allea matter of climate. For countless generations the people of the cold countries to the north went about bundled up, protecting themselves from the biting cold weather. spoke little and when they did Be spoke as briefly as possible with clos- ed mouths, not opening their lips any wider than necessary to form the words. This restricted their: language, mak- ing it harsh and guttural. The words were formed in the back of the mouth. In the south lands, where nature was more kindly, the weather never hampered people so. There the full- | ness of nature inspired them to open- expression; the tropical clim- e them onal, romantic, had more freedom. eir speech, for ne of the highly colored fields.

Gs Grey tells of a great disappoint- ment and an extremely narrow es- cape that fell to the lot of a young aviator at about the time Antwerp fell. 'one afternoon this officer was out on 'duty, when far away to the east he i" a long, pale shape shining in obviously 'miles away. To He ry been in the air for some time, but he knew just how much gagoline he had in his tank when he started and how long he could fly before he would have to come down. He decided to chase the thing for' half an hour, that would leave him a shade over half an hour's fuel with which to get home. Off he went. «As he got closer itbecame clear that the object was on the ground, and dis- tinetly yellow in color, which proved that it was not a Zeppelin, for all Zep- pelins are gray. The size showed that-it was not a Parseval; and so he began to think that he had discovered something realy new. Still won- dering, he came down lower. Then, suddenly, he saw how he had been sold. His colossal airship was a long, thin strip of overripe grain alorg the side of a hill that had been lighted up by the rays of the setting sun. Sadly and swiftly he made his way tdward home, wondering whether he could reach it, for in his enthusiasm he had overstayed his allotted time. At the height at which he was flying he was well in the sun, but underneath it was dusk, He could just see the -| course of canals and rivers gléaming out of the darkness. In that part of Belgium there is almost always flat ground on each side of the canals, and he made up his mind to land parallel to a watercourse of some kind. By this time he calculated that he gians or by British, and not by Ger- mans. So he edged gently downward, and when he thought his gasoline must be nearly all gone, he made for a gleam of water. Very gently he let his machine down until the water alongside which he was flying appeared nearly on his own level. Then he switched off his en- gine and glided slowly along, anxious- see. The wheels touched, then the tail skid felt the ground, and without a jar the machine came to rest. The pilot heaved a sigh of yeliot and climb- ed out. ---Once on the ground he was able to see nearby objects fairly well, but, as he walked round to the front of 'the machine, the ground before him sud- denly vanished. Cautiously he ap- proached the limit of visible grass and discovered to /his horor that the ma- chine had pulled up on the very edge of a deep, disused gravel pit. Two yards more and the wheels would have run over the edge, the tail would have lifted, and the "machine would have plunged forty or fifty feet into "a ey | stagnant pool, where he would cer- tainly have been drowned if he had not been killed by the fall. sara imi Lemon will keep fresh if stowed in dry sand separately.

Guglielmo Marconi, senator in the Italian Parliament, captain in the Italian navy, and inventor of the wire- less, when asked recently what he thought the greatest single accom- plishment of the wireless had been in the present war, answered: Its use by aeroplanes. The wireless has revo- lutionized artillery action. Hereto- fore the gunner did not know whether his shot landed accurately or not. Guns are frequently placed in such a way that the hills intervening cut off direct observation. But nowadays a big gun might, be located on low ground and actually shoot over an ele- vation to low ground on the other side and be sure of its aim and range. For the wireless constitutes the eyes of the gun. Aviators remain in the air above the position that is attacked.

One of the great movements of the present time is the movement for con- servation of our natural resources. We have gone on as if the world were coming to an end when we were dead. Now we are getting 'a better perspec- tive. The conservation movement, as was natural, was at first most con- spicuously identified with the conser- vation of our forests and our water power, but it must extend beyond the forests and water power. It must] more immediately concern itself with the conservation of the soil, for even our brief history tells us that fertile fields may become abandoned farms through other causes than lack of rainfall.
