Dr. Williams‘® Pink Pills are an all year round tonic, blood> builder and nerve strengthener. . But they are especially valuable in the spring when the system is clogged wnhrhrnpnrltlel as a result of the indoor life of the winter months. _ There is no other season when the blood is so much in need of purifying and enriching. In the spring one feels weak and tiredâ€" Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills give strength. In the spring the appetite is often poorâ€"Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills imâ€" prove the appetite, tone the stomach and aid weak digestion. It is in the spring that poisons in the blood most often find an outlet in disfiguring pimples, eruptions and boils. Dr. Wilâ€" liams‘ Pink Pills speedily clear the skin because they go to the root of the trouble in the blood. In spring anaemia, indigestion, neuralgla, theuâ€" matism and many other troubles are most â€" persistent because of weak, watery blood and I!t is at this time when all nature takes on new life thal the blood most serfously needs attention. _ Among those who have proved the value of Dr. Williams Pintk Pills is Mr. Archie R. Carmichael, Tarbot, N.S., who says:â€""For a numâ€" ber of years I was bothered with pimples which would break out on my face and body. The trouble was alâ€" ways worse in the spring, and alâ€" though I tried different treatments, it was without much success. In the spring of two years ago, the trouble was worse than usual, and although I was taking medicine it did not help me until I finally decided to try Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pilis. Under this treatâ€" ment the pimples disappeared, and there has since been absolutely no reâ€" turn of the trouble." Dr. Willtams‘ Pink Pills can be obâ€" tained from any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $250 from The Dr. Williams‘ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

When a fox has succeeded in getâ€" ting into a farmyard, he has sometimes found his progress stayed by a galâ€" lant gander, for ganders are brave fighters and can strike terrific blows with their wings. . Turkeys, 32 tha other hand, are an easy prey and usâ€" ually find safety high in trees. Howâ€" ever, Mr. Reynard made a mistake one day in tackling a certain old turâ€" key gobbler that had been boss of the barnyard for some time. . C m d ds em eemmt Om ie io The gobbler terrorized the farmer‘s little children and took #pecial delight in thrashing the dog. Even if the dog came with his master, the gobbler did not hesitate to attack him, and when, with fAuffed and trailing plumes and a sharp "gobble gobble!" the bird rushâ€" ed at the dog, the dog would drop his tail, leave his master‘s side and race for the nearest gate. “-OnTeV day the farmer, who was busy in his tall silo, looked out and saw a gight that herwm never forget, A fox ENC Em had staiked his turkeys and had got among them in an open field. _ The farmer expected to see the fox get some of the young ones at least, but he had forgotten the fighting prowess of Big Tom, and Tom was with the f@ock that day. When the fox first snapped at a turkey, Big Tom rushed forward with his feathers all up. The fox reeled back in surprise, then made a spring at Tom‘s neck. To his great chagrin, he met a blow from the turkey‘s wing that brought him to the ground; but he was game and came back to the attack. Meanâ€" while the flock was hurrying away. Seeing this, the fox tried to pass the old gobbler, but Tom steadily conâ€" fronted him and forced the fight. The fox made a third charge, and this time Tom caught him squarely on the nose. The fox curied up like a ball under the blow and rolled over and over. Tom, furious and fluffed, followâ€" ed up his advantage; but the fox, quickly regaining his feet, fied for the woods. Doubtless Tom‘s fights with the dog had developed his proâ€" ficlency in fighting and made his atâ€" tacks on the fox so effective. Nature tries her hand at pretty nearâ€" ly everything. As if to prove that she could make a bomb, she produced the "shooting cucumber." This interesting vegetable can be eaten. Probably some people do éat it. But the chances are that it is not good for much, gastronomically speakâ€" ing. One does not see it in the marâ€" kets. When it is fully ripe the "shooting cucumber" explodes.

At a recent meeting in London, Lord Ashfield gave an address on the trafâ€" fic and transit problems in the metroâ€" polis and his figures were startling. ‘There are now in London some 8,â€" 000,000 people that require transit of one sort or another within a radius of twenty to twentyâ€"five miles from Charing Cross. R e me â€"Lord Ashfield said that in 1914 the average number per head of journeys taken was 303, while in 1919 yfinfir!q‘u forms of transport travelled 265,000,â€" 000 miles, which is equivalent to 10,â€" 000 journeys around the earth and 252 journeys fro:m earth to moon. He then went on to declare the need of some proper authority to deal with the cognate questions of traffic and transâ€" port and to say that probably a soluâ€" tion of part of the problem would be to erect a vast system of underground roads for the exclusive use of fast motor traffic. Dwellers in cities the world over where the streets are laid out in anâ€" clent lines will recognize at once a problem that is insistent, for say what we will, the motor vehicle is bulky and takes up a huge amount of space, while its numbers steadily increase. JOY AND GLADNESS FOR THE CHILDREN Every childâ€"whether it be poor or richkâ€"is entitled to joy and gladness. Health is the birthright of all and there is absolutely no doubt that the healthy baby is a happy baby. It is the baby‘s nature to be happyâ€"not cross. Only the sickly baby is cross. The well child is a joy to the homeâ€" it is a laughing, gurgling, happy little plece of humanity which drives dull care from the household. The sickly baby is the oppositeâ€"he is cross and peevish; cries a great deal ard is a source of constant worry to the mother. _ But mothers there is no need of your little ones being sickly. Regulate the baby‘s bowels and sweetâ€" en his stomach with a gentle but thorough laxative and baby will soon be well and happy again. Thousands of mothers have proved this through their use of Baby‘s Own Tabletsâ€" there is a smile in every dose of the Tablets. Give them to your baby and make him happy. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Wilâ€" Hams‘ Medicine Co., Brockyville, Ont. A new and ingenious device to renâ€" der travelling easier on the London underground railways has just been installed in several of the principal subway stations in the West End, says a London despatch. The device consists of a large map of the underground rallway system showing the position of the principal streets. Round the map are alphabetiâ€" cal lists of theatres, shops, rail terâ€" mini, restaurants, dry goods stores, the sights and show places of London, the hospitals and other places of pubâ€" lic interest, The travelier looks down the list for the place he wants to get to and then presses the button opposite to its name on the list. Four lights at once spring up on the map. These are Large red lightâ€"Whore you are. Green lightâ€"Where you change. Red lightâ€"Where you alight. White lightâ€"The place you want. The device, which is of British inâ€" vention and manufacture, is known as "The Silent Guide," and if successful will be installed in every station on the underground system. Feel bully! Be efflcient! Don‘t stay sick, bilious, headachy, constipated. Remove the liver and bowel poison which is keeping your head dizzy, your tongu» coated, your breath bad and stomach sour.
