Last week tJio "Schlesfeehe Tages- post,” rp-actionary organ, of Silesian Niitl'onaii'sts, paid homage to Friedrich ■\fllhelm, sometime Crown Prince, on the occasion of his 45th birthday. He was born to the late Kaiseri'n Augusta Victoria, at tho Marble Paktee, Pots­ dam. "His eyes are those of Frederick the Great, . , . For millions’, he is still the rightful heiir of the crowmu.xyf Prussia and the German Empire, Many mil­ lions', knowing that the republic will be a failure, hope that ho will assume leadership. His Imperial Highness is the eldest son of one of the noblest of women and is a true German man. "He is the ideal of a large part of the population, which to-day expresses tho fervent hope that he will some day mount the throne and receive his re­ ward for the bitterness which he has undeservedly suffered.” OWL-LAFFS CHARLESTON v» HORNPIPE the the Even Our Grizzled Old Sea- dogs Are Forsaking the Sea­ chanty for Jazz. Are such tunes as "Yes, Sir, That’s My Baby” to take the place of "Shen­ andoah” and the like upon the high seas? Still worse, will 'the Charleston oust tire hornpipe? Neptune forbid! Yet if the steamer which carried me southward recently was a forerunner of the new order, these things will come to pass'. Instructed by a steward in the well deck when the day’s work was done, the crew fell easy victims'. The victualling department decided the Charleston was a necessary ac­ complishment for a gentleman. The firemen admitted it was a new one on them, and spent their spare time shak­ ing off coal-dust in corners. The sea­ men were outwardly contemptuous. But. they practised secretly on fo’c’sle head. In the Steamer’s Heart. Even tho purser, a man with body of a policeman and the legs of a Eealyham, was caught practising that backwards and forwords step in his cabin. He pleaded having stubbed his toe, which caused him to hop, but wad not believed. By the time we reached Sydney the ship was Charleston mad from truck to keelson.. Songs dear to the otherwise cheers ful seagoing folic, about dear old moth­ er and home and the lad who was shot at dawn, were completely forgotten in fawor oikthe Savoy Orpheans’ latest ef- foit- Resolved to make one attempt at least to find' someone singing about his mother, or quietly doing the horn­ pipe, a companion and myself set forth one fine evening. We 'Commenced our search in the working alleyway, the very core of the 'Ship, where dwell the cook., tho butcher, the baker, and other important people. Here, above all', the traditions of the sea should have been revered. Our hopes were speedily dashed. In the butcher’s shop th® bulkhead was vibrating to the tune of “In Your Green Hat.You’re Marvellous.” A Hopeless Quest. From the third steward’s cabin came the sounds of a gramophone playing, "What Do I Care?” while the galley was doing its bit with “Insufficient Sweetie.” In the alley th® second) cook was performing, his print trousers flapping magnificently. We groaned, Tho grimy head of a trimmer appear­ ed from the fiddley, and was wreathed in a grin of pleasure. "Hl, Bill!” he yelled to an unseen mate in the depths below. " ’fere’s, a bloke doing the Charleston.” Hurried steps upon an iron ladder. Bill appeared, and became a solemn spectator for a few moments. Then he »pat conclusively. ”’E ain’t as good as Alf,” he said, and disappeared. With a sigh we went our way round the ship ’tween decks. In vain! Every­ body seemed to have succumbed to the epidemic. About to proceed on deck, we sud­ denly thought of the storekeeper in the depths of tho ship. Half-way down life stare-room ladder my companion stopped and moaned. I listened. From below camo the ..strains' of a ukulele. The Triumph of Jazz Wo hastily sought the deck and the stars, ( ■ In tho bas’n’s cabin in the break of the fo’c’s'le a gramophone was pro-, claiming' "I’m Alabamy Bound.” To proceed farther forward was useless.

Our hearts beat fast when, drawing hearer, we found the old sail maker, A wizened old follow he Was, with- horny hands and a wrinkled visage which spoke of long years at sea. "Gcoii-evening!” We said. "Nice night!” Then both together, we tremulously asked: "Do you dance tho hornpipe?” The old man removed his pipe. - "Naoure,” ho answered slowly; "but ’ow de 'o do this ’ere Charity I ‘car so mtich Helmut?” . , Dr. Willems’ Pink Pills Highly Praised by a Quebec Ludy. Mrs. David Logan, Thetford Mines West., Que., gives unstinted praise to Dr. Williams1 Pink Pills for the good they have done in her family. Mrs. Dogan says:—"I have been a user of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for many years, as occasion required, and have always found them a most reliable medicine. My husband, who was re­ covering from an attack of typhoid fevdr, and was in a very weak condi­ tion, took the pills, and through them gained health and strength. My daugh­ ter was in a run-down condition, and. was forced to discontinue work.; Again Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills were ■ resorted to and she was soon restored to excellent health. Then, my eldest boy had an operation performed for 1 adenoids, which left him in a weak- 1 ened condition.,.Once more Dr. Wil­ liams’ Pink Pilis were tried, and he ■was soon in excellent health. So I i ■can truly say that more than satisfac­ tion has been obtained by the use of ■this medicine. The pills have done 1 more good in my homo than hundreds of dollars worth of more, expensive medicines.” 1 Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills assist diges- ’ tion, -correct the lassitude, the palpi­ tation of the heart, shaky nerves and the pallor of the face and lips that are 1 the results of thin, impure blood. You can get these Pills from any ] medicine dealer, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont. Sign of Improved Conditions and Prosperity is Noted. Ottawa. — According' to reports which come to the banking, division of the finance department, Canadian banks were never in a more liquid posi­ tion. Since the failure of the Home Bank there have been no banking, dis­ asters and in fact the Bank Act pro­ vides such safeguards as make this impossible without the conditions be­ ing well known in advance and ar­ rangements made to cope with it. In recent years, however, the period of depression caused some of the banks to bo tied up to assets upon which their advances could not read­ ily be liquidated. It is considered a hopeful sign of improved conditions and returning prosperity that in almost every case this situation has been wholly over­ come and the liquid position of the banks re-established to the level of very prosperous days.

Big Land Purchase in London Was Made Possible by the Rockefeller Foundation. London. — London University has acquired a Bl-oomsbury site of 11V2 acres in th® heart of the metropolis. This means that 10,000 British and for­ eign students' will have tho long-need­ ed permanent headquarters in touch with all that is best in British educa­ tional life. This satisfactory solution of a prob­ lem which has troubled generations of British educators was brought about by American generosity an in announc­ ing it, Lord Eustace Percy, president of the Board of Education, referred to the "munificent contribution of tho Rockefeller Foundation,” which had made with the purchase from the Duke of Bedford possible. The prioe is understood to have been £500,000, the Rockefeller Foundation contributing half, 'besides) a substantial amount to the building fund. The scheme does not involve interference with King’s College, which has been the snag whereon previous proposals of^acqulring the site have been ship­ wrecked'. It is thus welcomed by all parties to tho big controversy. The Times, referring to the Rocke­ feller Foundation, says that such an act of generosity and imagination ■could have com® only from the United States, “a land where old men not only see dreams but are rich enough to turn them into realities."

They arc the very medicine the child requires and are so pleasant to take that they are as easy to administer as a glass of water. They are the per­ fect remedy for all the minor ailments of little ones, being absolutely guar­ anteed from injurious drugs. Baby’s Own Tablets accomplish- all, that castor oil and other bad-tasting remedies can do. In fact they accom­ plish more as they do not leave the child exhausted from Its struggle against taking medicine. They relieve teething pains, banish Indigestion and constipation, break up colds- and sim­ ple fevers and promote healthful, re­ freshing sleep. They are sold by medi- cino dealers or by mall at 25 cents a- box from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont. A Hard Worker. never -works, but borrows money."

Great Structure to be Erected by United Grain Growers.
