a In the spring the system needs toning up. To be healthy and strong you must have new blood, just as the trees must have new sap to renew their vitality. Nature demands it, and without this new blood you will feel weak and lan- guid-grou may have twinges of rheumatism or the sharp stabbing pains of neuralgia. Often there are dtsfiguring pimples or eruptions on the skin. In other cases there is merely adeeling of tiredness and a. variable appetite. Any of these are signs that the blood is out of order-that the indoor life of win- ter his lessened your vitality. What is needed to put you right is a tonic, and in all the wo.rld of medicine there is no tone can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. ese Pills actually make new, V h, red blood-your greatest _ eed in the spring. This new blood drives out disease, clears the skin and makes weak, easily tired men. women and children, bright, active and strong. You can prove this by your neighbors, for there is not a nook or eorner in this great land: where some weak, ailing man or woman has not been made well and strong by this great medicine. l Mr. 'H. Wilson, Stonewall, Man.,' says: “Some years ago, I was run down, languid and depressed and felt as though I was only fitted for life's scrap heap. A friend who had ‘grea-t faith in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills gave me a box. Before they . were all used I felt some better, and thus encouraged, got a further ppply, and it was not many weeks Au:',t',,i"l I was again enjoying my for- " er good health.

There is a proverb among the med- ical fraternity of Japan, "When the twin enemy poverty and disease invade a home, then he who takes alight from that home, even if it be given him, is a robber." "Often," remarked a recent lee- rer on "Life in Japan," "a, doc- ir will not only give his time and medicine free to the sufferer, but he will also give him money to tide over' his dire necessities. Every physician is his own dispenser, and there are very few apothecaries’ shops in the empire“ T be. When he has finished his vis- its to the patient a present is made td, him, just as much as the patient cam afford. The doctor smiles, bows, thanks his patient, and the transaction is settled." "When even a rich man calls in a. doctor he does not expect that he will receive a bill for medical ser- vices. In fact no such thing as a doctor's bill is known in Japa 1, al- though nearly all modern practices are in vogue there.

GRANDMOTHER 0F MONARCHS Many Royal Families Deseenilei1 From queen Victoria. It is curious to think how many thrones are and will be occupied by the descendants of the late Queen Victoria. In Prussia we have her eldest grandson, Kaiser Wilhelm; in Norway reigns her granddaugh- ter, Queen Maud, says the Gentle- woman. In Sweden the Crown Princess is a granddaughter of the late Queen, and other grandchildren are the Grand Duke of Hesse, the Crown Prlncess of Greece, the Empress of Russ.ia, the Crown Princess of Rou- mama, the Queen of Spain, the yereditary Princess of Saxe-hfein- Lugen. Among the great-gre/Nur' of, the late Queen are the German Crown Prince, the Czarewitch, the Prince of the Asturias, Prince George of Greece, the eldest son of the Crown Prince of that ilk, Prince Carol of Roumania, the Crown Prince of Norway and Prince Gus- tev of Sweden-mo less than seven kings and two of them are heirs to empires. In very short time there will be no royal family in Europe that is not descended from Queen Victoria. THE MASTERFUL 2ORROWER.

She's making a dress, and needs 'em to press.' And she answered me just as short, and said: if 'No, she can't! And you tell your ma that she knows perfectly well that pressing a dress, which I doubt if she's making one at all, isn't half as important as doing a family washing and ironing, and not to send me any more such fool- ish messages, either.'

Every change of diet seems to bring this trouble on and baby suffers from headaches, fever, disturbed sleep and often vomiting. No baby who suffers from constipation can thrive well. Constipated babies are cross all the time and give mothers constant worry. The one sure relief for baby constipation is Baby’s ‘Own Tablets-they never fail to cure this trouble and can be given to the little one with absolute safety. Concerning them Mrs. W. S. McKenzie, Prairie Grange, Alta., writes: "I used Baby's Own Tablets for my baby who was con- stipated from birth and they rapid- ly helped her and left her bowels in a natural condition."

An important change was made in the system of weighing precious stones by the agreement of the European jewellers and lapidists which is now in effect. France, Switzerland, Norway, Roumania, Bulgaria and Spain entered into the agreement to establish a met- rieal karat which would fit into the metrical system, now so generally used abroad. The old karat of 8,.- 167 grains troy weighed 205.3 milli- grammes, while the new karat will weigh an even 200 milligrammes, or 3,086 grains troy, according to the old system. The change is being considered in every country where precious stones are articles of com- meree, and various European States in addition = to those mentioned above which have already acknow- ledged the reform are about to adopt the metrical kaet.. _ Of course, if any of the larger and wealthier nations-England, for instance-were to object to any alteration the confusion would tend to hamper trade, but the change is more than welcome on the continent, where the metrical has been in use for so many years that the old arbitrary weights are al- most forgotten, and all measure- ments have been simplified into a decimal system. a"iiG"2t"'o"sri, "iiUaiir."%srercdrfarheiits" the throat and lands . . . aa cents.

In his speech at the Guildhall when acknowledging the welcome given by the city of London on his return from South Africa, the Duke of Connaught spoke in enthu- siastic terms of the glories of Rho- desia. "Rhodesia," he said, "is a, won- derful and healthy country, the home in time to come of numberless eons and daughters of the race, rich in. beauty and resources, and, even in these days of its childhood, a credit to those who are responsible for its nurture and upbringing. The Duke was in Rhodesia during Nov- ember, visiting Victoria Falls on the 14th of the month. Unhappily, a cloud shortly afterwards develop- ed. "Sleeping sickness," the dread- ed scourge of tropical Africa, has been spreading, and is now ravag- ing North-eastern. Rhodesia, just north of the territory which his Royal Highness visited. On the 15th December Judge L. P. Beau- for, the Acting Administrator, gaz- etted an area of over 100,000 square miles as a "sleeph1g sickness area." This proscribed territory just stops short of Rhodesia, the principal scene of the Chartered Company's enterprise and activity. The dis- quieting feature of the situation is, however, that the scourge seems to be rolling down from north to south. White men as well as na- tives fall prey. Flies are supposed to carry disease.

English writer calls attention to one objection to the use of pure- ly automatic danger-signals, which, he thinks, no invention can get round, and that is the fear that the l sole use of such signals would ren- lder engine-drivers careless.

"If a driver feels that he cannot run past signals without be- ing automatically made aware of ithe danger, he will cease to look :0ut, and then, some day, comes a (sudden failure of the mechanism."

Look at the financial side of Zam- Buk's use. A cut sustained in the home, the store, or the work- shop, results, say, in festering or blood-poisoning. You have to lay off l a day or two. What does that mean when pay day comes round? Zam- Buk insures you against that loss! A little Zam-Bulr applied to such an injury prevents all danger of blood-poisoning, takes out the smarting and heals. . Heads of families know how cost- ly doctoring is. Be wise and act on the preventive line. A box of Zam-Buk in the home "is so all-round useful. The baby's rashes, the old- er children's cuts and bruises, the inevitable burn, cut, or seald--ior all these, as well as for more seri- ous ailments, such as piles, ulcers, eczema, ringworm, etc., Zarn-Buk is without a rival. Dangers of Shavirig.--You get a cut at the barber's shop. A little Zam-Buk smeared on the wound prevents all danger. If any ailment has been contracted, ZarrrBuk cures. Zam-Buk Soap is as good as the balm, but in a different way. Washed in Zaan-Buk Soap the skin is disinfected and disease germs ly- ing upon it are killed. Mothers will find it unequalled for baby's bath. Zam-Buk Balm and Zam-Buk Soap are sold by all druggists and stores at 50c. for the balm and Me. tablet for the soap.
