HOW TO RELIEVE Avoid Serious Results by Using Baby's Own Tablets. When a chil stiows the first symp- toms of & cold, such 'as sneezing, red: ness of the eyes, clogged 6r running nose, prompt measures for relief may avert serious results. Mothers should always have on hand some simple, safe and effective remedy for imfedi- ate use. Baby's Own Tablets act quickly, contain no opiates or narcotics. are tasteless and harmless. Mra Joseph Cadieux, Holyoke, Mase, says:--"T have used Baby's Own Tablets for my children and find them a very satisfac- tory medicine. When my little boy had a cold I gave him the Tablets at night and he was well next dey. I give them to the children for constipa~ tion, and they always do good. I think Baby's Own Tablets are much casler to give a child than Hquid medicine. I recommend the Tablets to all moth: ers: who have small children and be- leve they should always be kept on hand."

HEALTH BROKE DOWN Could Not Get Sleep for Hours After Going to Bed. : "It 1s not n&tural for me to sit"down and write a letter In praise of a pro- prietary medicine as I had always been skeptical as to their virtues." Thus writes Mr. Arthur Seguin, Storth- oaks, Sask, who further says:--*But three years ago I opened a general store here in Storthoaks and placed on my shelves a few lines of the best known proprietary medicines. Among these, naturally, were Dr. Willfams' Pink Pills.

The proprietor of the village inn, with a lighted lantern on his arm, entered whet had once been the barroom but was now converted | into a men's lounging room. In cold! weather this room was heated by an! old-fashioned castiron box stove. | Chancing to look out of the windows, | the proprietor recognized a party of woodsmen returning from their work | in the woods to the inn, 'where they lodged.

"Becauese if you be," he continued, "I want t' borrow the lantern to go out and get some. kinds lingsss t' start a fire with, and to do th' chores."
