When you get into a frame of mind that makes life seem one tiresome duty after another, with no pleasure in it; when ill -health seems to take all the yoy out of life and you worry over things that are really not worth worrying about. then your nervous system is becoming ex- hausted, and you are on the way to a general breakdown in health. In this condition your health and happiness is worth fighting for, and good, rich, red blood is what pont system needs. It is a hopeless task to try to restore your health while your blood is deficient either in quantity or quality. And remember that no medicine can be of any use to you that does not build up your weak, watery blood. To build up the blood and strengthen thc nerves there is one remedy that has been a household word for more than a generation—Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. it is the actual mission of. these pills to make new, rich, red blood, which strengthens the nerves and tones ' the entire system. They give you a new a, petite, make sleep refreshing, put coker in the lips and cheeks. and drive away that unnatural tired feeling that oppresses so many people. If you want to expen- ence new health and happiness give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial. You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or ix boxes for 12.50 from the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.. Brockville, Ont. — CLINTON.

YEN the late Csaritut of Rus- sia, whose name has become a by -word in the civilized na- tions on account of her be- trayal of Rusin to the Germans, and her relations with the infaruceer de- generate monk, Ftimputin, has found a defender.

Moucbanow Is very candid, and as she does not try to "whitewash" the former Princess of Hesse, her story is interesting. The thought of Nicholas II:marry- ins a German princess was not re- ceived with favor by either court society or by the nation, as such an alliamee was not a popular one. The Hessian princess was reputed to be a strong-minded woman, whereas the heir -apparent was known for his ab- solute lack of character and his 'titil- lation. It was feared that his wife might attain too much influence corer him, arid through that influence the Grand Duke Sergio', who was one of the most hated and unpopular men EX -CZARINA OP RUSSIA. Is Flutists and the busband of Alex- andra's sister. become a power at the Russian court. A great deal of the Czatina's unpopularity and unhappi- n ese began in her first winter at St. Petersburg, partly because of her not having good advisers appointed who might have been of great help to her. as she was eery ignorant of Russian life, and partly, also, because. owing to the death of Alexander tn. and the subsequent hastening of her mar- riage, there had been no time la which to prepare sutleible apartments for the imperial scruple, and they were forced to occupy Nicholas's for- mer bachelor apartmente In the resi- dence of the Dowager Emprens. In such a small household there was bound to be a certain amount of ser- vants' gossip, and tbls gossip reached higher than the backstairs and con- tributed a great deal to the Czarina's reputation of being headstrong and of a capricious temper, a reputation whieb was to harm her later on in public opinion. she would not allow any one to athlete or criticise her, and it was In that first whiter that she withdrew entirely from the family of her husband. Consequently the Dow- ager Empress and the imperial fain - fly had gone over to the side of her too numerous enemies. In those days Alexandra was most anxious to become popular. but be- cause of her natural diEdence, lack of tact in elbowing when people bor- ed her, and her sarcasm, her efforts only tended to prejudice the people against her. Alexandra Femlorovna made few friends until after the Jap- anese war, and then did not choone as wisely as she might have done. But she was guided mainly by )ter elder sister, the Grand Duchess Efiza- beth, a clever and ambitious woman, who made a pretence of being ab- sorbed in the religion of the Ortho- dox faith. It was she who Introduced various "inediuns," among theni Rapputin, to the Czarina and the im- perial family.- Besides being very superstitious, the Czarina also be- lieved in miracles apd would worehlp any dirty relic, and the influence which Rarpotin had over her WWI becamee of this weakness, she believ- ing him to be one of the greatest taints In the Res/Ilan Orthodox Church and so falling an easy prey to the adventurer. Mme. Mouchanow rather thought that the murder of Raaputin was dile to the idea held by the people that as long as he lived the Empress would be able to influ- ence th.
