Nature intended every girl and every woman to be Happy, attractive, active and healthy. Yet too many of them find their lives saddened by suffering- nearly always because their blood is to blame. All those unhappy girls and women with 'colorless cheeks; dull skins and sunken, lusterless eyes, are in this condition because they, have not enough blood, red blood in their veins to keep them well and in the clrarni of health. They suffer from depressing weariness and periodical headaches. Darer lines form under their eyes, their heart palpitates, violently afterthe slightest exertion, and they are often attacked with fainting spells: These are only a few of the miseries Qf blood- lessness. Nothingau secure girls and Women from the Inevitable decline that follow s anaemia except a gener- ous supply of new, rich, red blood, and nothing has ever proved so successful in creating red, good blood as Dr. Wil lianas Pink Pills for Pale People.. Thousands and thousands of girls and woolen owe their good - health and charming complexion to the use oaf this medicine. 13ere is one example of its power to cure. Miss Dorina Bastion, St. Jerome, Que,, says: "For over a year my health was gradually failing, my blood had seemed_ almost to have turned to water, my cheeks were pale,. my lips bloodless, and the slightest ,exertion left me breathless. I suffered frequently from severe headaches, my appetite failed, and,.my friends feared I was going into consumption. I had been doctoring but raid not derive any benefit, and finally T had to' give up my work and return home. It was at this stagethat a friend brought me a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and urged me to try them. By the' time the box was used 1 thought they were helping me, and 'decided, to continue using the pills. I took a half dozen boxes more, when'my strength had completely returned, my appetite was restored, my color returned, headaches had disappeared anal. I was feeling bet- ter than I had been for years. I' would urge every weak and ailing girl to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial. These pills are sold by all medicine dealers or may be had by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2,50 from The Dr -.'Williams' Medicine Co., Brack- ville, Ont. WRY YOU REST ON ONE LEG. Reason Why an Erect Position is Tiring to Human Beings. As human beings we are supposed to stand erect, and,therefore standing fat' straight ought to be the most natural and easiest thing in the world. There are few things, however, which are as fatiguing as holding an erect position for a long time or when we are tired. The reason which medical men have' given for this is that man is recently evolved from the lower species. which are not able to stand erect, and that as yet we are not fully adjusted to holding ourselves upright. Our hip bone does not fit vertically into the bones'of the pelvic girdle. This does not lie directly under the spine. The upright position is sr aintained only by a complex cross -strain of one set of muscles pulling forward and another set of muscles pulling back- „-eiliard. This demands a new adjust- - .ment with every movement. Itis a "'tremendous. muscular strain which. holds the hip bone and leg joints in position and Which has to meet the THOUGHTS ON MO,'TI{ER'S DAY. ►' By Chas. M. Bice, Denver, .Colo. "Mother's Day" is a momentous °oc rasion here. It has always meant a day of a..year of sacrifice for those gray-haired angels who seem to do nothing but sacrifice for others, It is a day of 1917 momentous for the rea- son that war is calli g, brutal, stark, cold-blooded war, calling the boys and men. of this country, calling them from the/ last handclasp, the last lingering touch of mother hands, the last tremb- ling kiss of mother lips, calling them to—God only knows what! There are mothers who have •said good-bye to the sons they cherished and loved, said good-bye to them for' the last time. For when many of 'those sons return, it will only be to find that mother has gone on, that she kits no more by the windows of nights, watching the stars, and whis- pering to the imaginary baby form she holds in her arms, thebaby that has grown to manhood and has tra- velled out into the world, out from the protection of her arms, out from the soft touch ,of her cheek against his. r There will be mothers, white haired, with little touches of Father Time 'about their eyes who will watch: the lists day by day, hoping against hope, hoping, hoping—finally at last to seat herself in the old rocker, to look again at the tqys he played with when he was a baby, then to fold her hands and to pray for the time when she can join him, her herd, her Little Boy Blue of the Army, who fell as he fought. You think of her, to -day and wear a flower commemorative of her pure and noble life. Yes, think of your dear old mother to -day, anu`if she is far away write to her. If she has gone beyond the reach of letters, go now to where she sleeps and kneel be- side her grave, as once you knelt be- side her, knee. If she is still near you -lucky per- son that you are—go to her and allow your arms to steal softly about her neck and kiss her. Kiss her and brush aside the straying gray hair and whisper to her that you love her, and that she is your "bestest girl of all." And remember, that while you are grown up into manhood or wo- manhood, to everyone else in the world, to one person you are still that happy, smiling, cooing little be- ing who played at her feet in the years of long ago, the most wonder- ful treasure of all the treasures in the world—her baby. And so, if the tears conte to her eyes, as she sits and holds your hands tight against her breast, if she is silent with those mo- ther lips quivering in their worldless ecstasy, don't be ashamed if the tears should conte to your own eyes, too. And' kiss the tears away and be proud and happy. of the opportunity— and think of those who would give many and many a year of their life for the same privilege. And remember, as you do so, that the lane of life is long and the' pathway of love has many turnings. But there is One who never falters as she treads her way along it towards the sunset. One who ',never wavers come what , will, and I that One is Mother. If she is gone, gone' into that quiet haven where there are no worries, no troubles, no nights and days of anguish for the safety and comfort of those who were a part of her life, her heart, her be- ing—if she has gone onward to . the peace her quiet love has earned, are you going out today to the little mound wherein she rests, and whisper a benediction over her, a little psalm to your Maker that He keep her safe within His arms? Yes, you are, for you are a man or a woman -and to- day is o -day -is Mother's Day! RIVERS OUT OF THE ORDINARY. • body erect.

CSSOWN, Registrar A river of ink is formed in Algeria by the union of two streams, the wa- ter of one being `impregnated with iron, and the other, which drains a great swamp, with gallic acid. This combination of iron and acid forms a pure ink. All rivers of Africa seek the ocean that is farthest away from their source. In Siberia rivers flow over ice, old and solid as rock. A tributary of the Lena River has underneath the soil which forms the bed of the river a bed ,of pure ice over 9 ft. thick. A freak of Nature is the lost river in Kentucky. It is known as the Hidden River, because no one knows its ori- gin, and it vanishes into a cave lead- ing no one knows where. It flows without a ripple and. is of a pale blu- ish color. '•. A singing well is one of the natural curiosities of Texas. In fine weather a sound like that of an •aeolian harp is given out by the well. At times the sound is clear; then it recedes, as if far away; and then t reaches the ear very faintly. These changes take place every few minutes, and with great regularity. With an east wind blow- ing the water in thewell gets very low, and the mysterious musical sound is faint. A strong west wind causes the water -to rise and the sound to in- crease in volume and clearness. Be- fore a north wind the well plays its wildest pranks. The water rises near- ly p to the to of the . well, which is about 60 ft. deep, ailtl,gives out wild, weird noises. . protect, .the Windbreaks s p orchard fi om both stunnrer and whiter eva- poration, and from cold.

HEALTH CHILDREN,, It is natural for little ones to be wall, Lind with care every baby can be kept well. The main thing \towards keeping little ones well is to keep their 1l;ttle stomach sweet and their bowels regular. Baby's Own Tablets will do this. Thousands of mothers keep the Tablets in the house, as they find them an efficient guard against illness,. Con- cerning them Mrs. Hilaire Desmarais, St. Joseph de Sorel, Que., writes: "I believe Baby's Own Tablets are the best medicine in the world for child- ren. My baby was terribly constipated but the Tablets promptly cured him and now he is' a big healthy child.” The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. ENCOURAGE CULTIVATION Campaign by Canadian Pacific Ry. to Meet Food Shortage. In order to encourage . the settle- ment and cultivationof vacant lands in the Western Provinces, the Cana- dian Pacific Railway Company, through its Coloniza'tiorl'and Develop- ment Department, of which Mr. J. S. Dennis is the head, has undertaken an activecampaign to try and induce absentee owners •to cultivate their holdings. A circular has been issued to some 8,000 absentee owners, pointing out the profits which can be made by cultivating their lands, and showing how many farmers sold their last years' crop for more than the original cost of .their farms. The Company offers the advice and assistance of its Colonization and Development Department free of charge, in supplying reliable informa- tion as to how to go, about getting the land' under cultivation and will send, on request, the fullest details as to routes of travel, customs regula- tions, passenger and freight rates and similar data. In undertaking this camaign the Company is following its usual" broad policy of Dominion -wide development, realizing that, every new settler means greater, production to meet the food shortage which at present threatens the world, and which. Ciada, with its extensive and fertile unplowed areas, can provide. 41. DEAF MUTES MAKE GOOD. They are Successfully Employed in .,French Munition Factories.

Natives of the Flowery Kingdom Con- sume Little Meat. Very little neat is produced or con- sumed in Japan, the •people depending mainly on vegetables, such as rice, fish, certain bulbs such, as tiger lily and seaweed, which are very nourish- ing and different from anything found along our seacoast. Peas and beans are largely culti- vated in Japan, which resemble our bush beans and are very prolific, in- cluding twenty or more varieties; rad- ishes in all sizes, including the sakurajima, which grows from half a pound to a pound. The long white radish nerine is ten to twelve inches long and very delicious. Cucumbers include the climbing va- riety which has been introduced in this country; carrots of large size and fine flavor; eggplants, turnips and a pump- kin which in size and flavor rivals our best, excellent as a pie filling or cooked as we cook turnips. The udo compares favorably with asparagus. The delicious Chinese cabbage makes an excellent table dish and is used in many ways. _ In Japan vegetables in seasonable assortment are peddled in two baskets carried across the shoulders on a bam- boo pole, brought fresh daily to the door for the housewife's selection. All these vegetables can be grown in our Canadian gardens and the culti- vation is the same as required for our vegetables. The Kid Has Gone to the Colors.

The Order of the Victoria Cross—if it can be called an order—was practically An outcome of the Crimean War; 'pos.. sibly the immortal charge of the Light Brigade inspired the idea. For those who have not handled a Victoria Gross it may be as well to say that it is. adorned with a crown surmounted by a' lion and a small scroll bearing the pregnant words, "For Valor." On the reverse of the medal is given the date or dates of the deeds of heroism for which it was awarded, the name of the recipient being inscribed tat the back of the bar, tb which it is attach- ed by a V. The Cross is cast from can- non that were taken at Sebastopol. The first presentation of the V.C. took place in Hyde Park on June 26, 1857, OD which occasion sixty-two men were decorated. The pinning on of the Crosses by the Queen occupied only about ten minutes, and a great review brought the proceedings to a close. Five of the Crosses won at the battle of Alma were gained in defence of the colors. Speak ` Of Th S hi TheTerms Highest Why Mr. and Mrs. West Recom- mend Dodd's Kidney Pills.
