YOUNG WOMANHOOD
Girls upon the threshold of woman-
hood often drift into a decline in spite
of all care and attention. Even,
strong and lively girls become weak,
depressed,. irritable and listless. It is
the dawn of womanhood -a crisis in
the life of every girl—and prompt
measures should be taken to keep the
blood pure and rich with the red tint
of health. If the body is not in a
healthy condition at this critical stage,
grave disorders may result, and future
life become a burden. Deadly con-
sumption often follows this crisis in
the lives of young women. Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills have saved thousands
of young girls from what might have.
been life-long invalidism or early
death. They are a blood -builder of
unequalled merit,. strengthening weak
nerves and producing a liberal supply
of rich, red blood, which every girl
needs to sustain her strength.
fiver and over again Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills have proved their value to
women and girls whose health was
failing. Miss Jennie Gereau, St. Jer-
ome, flue., says: "At the age of
eighteen my health was completely
shattered; I was suffering from
anaemia with all its attendant evils,
The trouble forced me to leave school,
I suffered from headaches, was tired
and breathless at the least exertion.
I had no appetite, and my face and
lips were literally bloodless, A good
friend advised the use of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, and thanks to thin great
medicine I am again enjoying goad
health, with a good appetite, good
color and a spirit of energy."
Every anaemic girl can be made
well and strong through the use of
I?r Williams' Pink Pills. Sold by all

SIR JOHN SIMON.
IMON.
THE GARRISONING OF EGYPT
DOMINION OF CANADA TROOPS
ARE THERE.
Youngest Man in British Coalition
Government.
Hardly any barrister in Great Bri-
tain has attained such a high distine-'
tion at so early an age as Sir John
Simon, who had represented the
Crown in most of the sensational
cases tried at the Old Bailey, and who
at the age of forty-one is Home Sec-
retary in the British Coalition Gov-
ermunent.
When he was appointed Solicitor -
General; in 1910, Sir John was only
thirty-seven years of age,.and such
was his reputation in the legal'�vorld'
that at that time he held retainers
from almost every railway company
in the country---. a unique record.
Three years later he stepped into
the place of Attorney -General, and
thus became head of the English Bar,
a proud position won, in the way
Englishmen like to see honors won,
by sheer ability and hard work; for
Sir John Simon is the son of a Con-
gregational minister, and owes note-
-big to birth and influence.
Sir John,. however, holds a some-
what humorous view of his profession,
judging by the remarks he made when
entertained a few months ago by the
Manchester Law Students' Society.
Although, on account of his taciturn-
ity, S' John has often been referred
to by his friends as "Silent Simon,"
the description only partly fits, for
when the use of the tongue is neces-
sary, Sir John can use it with won-
derful effect,
He was induced, too, on one occa-
sion, to recall some reminiscenses of
his youthful days. "My first political
recollection," he remarked, "is of
"'something, that occurred—I think it
_,was in 1878—when I was a very small
boy going to a dame's school at Moss
Side, Manchester. I remember well
going out of the gate of the little
house where my father lived then,
and as I went out, carrying my sat-
chel to school, one of his friends came
running down the street waving a
'newspaper and shouting something to
my father. I think it was about one
of the first speeches Mr. Gladstone
made in the early days of his Mid-
lothian campaign,, and I heard my
mother calling me back because I was
wearing a blue tie. I can see her
little' figure running upstairs.and run-
ning down again with a red ribbon.
which she tied around my neck."
In the House there is no more popu-
lar man than Sir John Simon. He en-
joys the liking of both sides in poli-
tict, which is not always possible to
a politician of such keen intellect and
high debating powers es himself. He
has never been 'known to'leet his terra
per, and the fact that in one great.
trial in which he appeared the jury
after five days were as closely inter-
ested in the details of the case as they
were in the opening clay was striking
testimony to his power of holding at-
tention.

land, Their Life, Pay and

Writing regarding the life of the
British troops in Egypt, the London
Times' correspondent at Cairo, fur-
nishes an interesting sketch of war
time, recreation and organization of
the Dominion contingent here. He
says:

ested in the question of national de

fought, and unmarked by "scenes."
City and provincial champions and
runners-up of all weights, amateur
and professional, abound among
them, and Cairo is consequently be-
coming quite a pugilistic centre.
There is plenty of friendly rivalry,
and amusing chaff is sometimes ex-
changed between troops from the
cattle -raising districts and those from
the sheep country, who, from time
to time, when other argument fails,

British Naval Expert Replies ter
Criticism of Fleet.
Commander Carlyon Bellairs, the
great British naval expert, replied to
the recent criticism of the British
navy appearing in American news-
papers suggesting that the navy
might try a little initiative occasion-
ally, sending submarines to Cux-
haven, Kiel and Ileligoland. Com-
mander Bellaire said:—
"The man who wrote that ought to
procure a scale chart and study it
for a few minutes with an American
naval officer at his elbow. Then he.
might learn quite a lot. Cuxhaven
and Kiel are hidden away behind
miles of heavily mined sand banks,
as well as breakwaters. At Heligo-
land there are only a few German
torpedo boats and submarines. In
naval warfare one goes by probabili-
ties, not possibilities. The British
submarine wouldn't have one chance.

stone walls where the Germans hide

"It is not a question of initiative.
What our submarines have done.
scouting around Heligoland and
around the Dardanelles proves this.
It is just a question of common-sense
tactics.
"The German fleet only needs just
to come out to sea and leave its
stonelocked fortresses for a few
hours in order to get all the trouble
it ever will be able to seek."
