Of this total, 269,358 represents the population of New: foundland, and 8621 Labrador, as . | against 238,670 and 3,949 respectively In 1911.

Rheumatism comes with thin, im- pure blood, and can only be driven out of the system by enriching and puri- fying the blood. The chief symptom of rheumatism is pain. The most successful treatment is the one that quickly banishes this disagreeable symptom. Many rheu- matic people suffer pains that could be avoided by building up the blood. The value of Dr. Willlams' Pink Pills 'in rheumatic troubles is proven by the testimony of Mrs. A. Bryson, Arthur, Ont, who says:--"I was so used up with rheumatism in my shoulders and neck that I could not turn in bed with- BE eregnriing 'out the help of my husband, and the pain at times was almost unbearable. 1 took doctors' medicine which did me little or no good. Then I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and have since been free from rheumatism. I can also recommend the pills to young mothers, as in my own case I found they are unexcelled. I may also add that I recommended Dr. Williams' Pink t| Pills to a neighbor who took fainting spells at the change of life, and who could not walk any distance. She took the pills for nearly three months and they made her a strong well woman." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills from eny dealer in medicine or by mail at 50c a box from The Dr. Wil- Hams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Sree feet Higher Tax, Lower Revenue. An interesting example of the way in'which high taxes defeat their own purpose is quoted by the Financial Post. At $6 'a thousand, cigarettes were heavily taxed, but Canadians smoked nearly 2,600,000,000 a year. The tax was increased last year to $7.60 a thousand and smokers turned to pipes and to rolling their own. Cigarette consumption dropped by about half a billion a year and the gov- ernment suffered a net loss in-revenue of about $2,000,000, The higher tax 'guard my rest own ona dead {| 1s heard on polished floors, | Across the bridges of the Selne-- ; intassdonnl ; 4n:Paris now. ih poo sip ut tam The lilacs scent the misty air, "Romance glides 'to and fro Let's go. | In London streets the flower girls Display their fragrant wares, The Thames {8 gay with punts and C0 kitts | " Propelled by loving pairs.

The foundation-stone of what will be a noble memorial to the famous Bri- tish- raid staged at Zeebrugge, Bei- glum, in wartime, was: laid recently by the Governor of West Flanders, in the presence of a distinguished Anglo- Belgian company, including Admiral 8ir Roger Keyes, Lork Buriham, Lord Emmott, the British Ambassador, Sir George Grahame, and the Belgian Min- ister of Public Works. The memorial, which will stand near the shore end of the mole, will take the form of a granite column 70 feet high, surmounted by a figure of St. George slaying the dragon. It will be visible far out at sea, and will be in- seribed on the side facing the sea with the words: "Saint George for Eng- land," and alsg, "United for Justice." Likewise on the. monument will appear the names of the British who fell in the action and also the names of the participating warships. The Governor, when performing the ceremony, described the landing of the British in the face of the German fire as 'one of the most brilliant deeds in naval history. Other speeches de- livered'at the ceremony and preceding the banquet in Bruges Town Hall stressed the close Anglo-BeTgtan ties.
