But they seldom re- cognize the fact that thin blood is the cause of their indigestion, but it ie. Thin blood is one of the most com- moncauses of stomach trouble; it affects the digestion very quickly. The glands that furnish the digestive fluids are diminished in their activity, the stomach muscles are weakened and • there is a loss of nerve force. In this state of health nothiug will more quickly restore the appetite. digestion and normal nutrition than good, rich, red blood - Dr. Williams' ,Pink Pills act direct- ly on the blood, making it rich and red, and this enriched blood strength- ens weak nerves, stimulates tired muscles, and awakens to norm! ac- 4tivity the glands that supply the di- gestive fluids. The first sign of re- turning health is an improved appetite, and soon the effect of these blood -mak - log pills is evident throughout the whole syetem. You find that what you eat does not distress you, and that you are strong and vigorous instead of ir- ritable and listless.

On almost every farm there is a scrap heap of old iron, or wornout tools and machinery whlch would be worth dollars when collected and sold to the junk buyers in town. Nearly, every town has someone who buys. iron scraps, and since the war has, 'nereased the demand for iron, prices` pain have gone up. In my town thei price has ranged from 810 to $12 per ton. Enough of such scrap has been! collected and sold by the farmers of chis community during the past few1 months to make up six carloads. It! has returned a good many dollars to the farmers' pockets that otherwise' would have been wasted. Then, too such old material can be melted down and converted into new machinery or tither necessaries to help supply the nation's needs,. so ane is really' per- forming a patriotic duty. On nearly every farm worn or out- af-date machinery has been pulled 'side and replaced with new machin - try, while the old is left in some out- of-the-way' spot with the idea that some part, if not the whole machine, will same day become useful.

"At last I have got a servant!" ex - claimed an Engilsli housewife wlzo ha been trying for weeks to get a goo cook -general. "Alaria is a colore woman, and I nearly had a fit whe she applied for the job. But it seem ne if my experiment is going to be success, Maria is an economical cook scrupulously clean, is content with moderate wage, and asks for none o the privileges which modern servant demand."

Baby's Own Tablets should always be s kept in the houoe where there are young children. An occasional dose of the Tablets will prevent stomach and bowel troubles, or if the trouble conies suttdenly the prompt use of the Tablets will relieve the baby. The says a London magazine. Many people are solving the servant difficulty by employing a black woman or aChinese girI instead of a British woman, and when the latter went to get back to domestic service there is every chance that they will find this avenue at work largely blocked against them, One lady who wanted a children's nurse lately tried in vain to obtain the service of an English girl at a moder- ate salary, and ultimately she engaged a Chinese nurse. So careful and coin potent has the latter proved, that at least two of the lady's friends, when wanting nurses, followed her example right away. Again, an Indian ayah, Who travelled aver here to bring her young charges to school not long ago, in less than a week received five ad- vantageous offers to remain in Eng- land as a nurse, A woman employment i agent de- clared that, whereas before the war no colored woman would have dreamt of going to her agency to obtain em- ployment, she never has any Millm lay n finding them employment. In one particular case A rather well- known lady with a good staff of ser- vents, who would have been aghast at having a colored maid five years ago, recently wrote for an additional house- maid—"preferably a Chinese girl"; while, when the proprietor of a cer- ain seaside tea and luncheon room ad- vertised for a woman cook, out of eleven applicants four were colored women—a big proportion when you hank of conditions a couple of years ack. :ver, the old machine is seldom used Because the parts to it do not fit the new machines. Even the bolts and nuts .in the old machines are not as aseful as one might think. Most of as have had the experience of losing ' burr off a part of a machine, then when we try to fit another of the same t size, the thread is different. If we try a new bolt, •it may answer the purpose but probably won't fit. Each manufacturer seems to have taken t special pains to make every part of b his machine, and even the bolts and nuts, a little different from all others. Purely a trick to .increase his sales. This is a condition remediable only by appropriate legislation. Farmers r would save themselves a great deal of p trouble and annoyance by demanding that their representatives pass a law requiring manufacturers to use stand- t and rods where possible, and uniform i bolts with threads cut with standard ° dies. So the junk heap is of little ma- terial value on the farm. Add to this the unsightliness of old wornout ma- chinery cluttering up the premises and a we have ample reason for making a 1 clean-up day. The old` machines have done their work, so now let us cash in on the salvage.—P. E. es---- --- Fortunes in School Books.

A well-known chef says the proper use of color in meals is tremendously important; that it would be a crime to serve potatoes and cauliflower, as both are white; that one should leave a green and a white vegetable, or some other color. So we must consider the color scheme of foods quite as well as the calories. We supposed we had learned all there was to be known -concerning foodstuffs when we studied the tables of Calories as pertain to the general foodis that are still within"reach of per- sons who have steady employment at high wages, But it seems not; colors and color schemes are also essential. Nor must the subject be considered facetiously. It is a serious proposi- tion and there is realty some sense in it. Anyone who has had to sit down to a faded and pallid dinner, with never any color in anything uponthe table— even the fresh food being sallow and emaciated—can now understand that his loss of appetite was due to a faulty color scheme rather than to in- ternal disarrangement. We are strong now for the color scheme, and shall look forward to rainbow meals --to mottled breakfasts, to variegated lunches and to dinners that glint and glimmer with the hues of the scintil- lating dewdrop, • I bought a horse with a supposedly incurable ringbone for $30.00.

War conditions are stated to be re- sponsible for the increase of tubercu- lous diseases. Of every hundred U. S. soldiers and sailors in the war, two were killed or died. The Stokes gun, the best British light trench mortar, was adopted by all the Allies, and 20,000 in all were is- sued. Alhough Germany built 120 Zeppe- lins during the war, never more than fifteen or sixteen were fit to take the air at one time. Owing to our knowledge of the Hun "wireless," forthcoming Zepp raids were known in London before the air- ships had left their sheds. By the terms of the Peace Treaty, the German territory is decreased from 208,780 to 178,780 "square miles, and she loses colonies comprising 1,- 130,000 square miles. More than sixty-six people in Britain had\ incomes of more than $500,000 a year in'1914. In 1917, after paying in- come-tax and super -tax, 500 people had each $200,000 a year.

AAlq�anage.I'i.�a A particularly interesting naval ca- reer lies behind Commander Thomas Fisher, "who has just taken up his new appointment in London as General Manager of the Atlantic Lines of tht Canadian Pacific Ocean Services, Ltd. The very broad field of valuable na. tional work in naval, shipping and dip- lomatic circles during the war cover- ed by Commander Fisher specially lit him for the onerous duties of direct- ing one of the greatest passenger and mercantile fleets in the world. Commander Fisher was born in Bir- mingham in 1883, and underwent his naval training at Dartmouth on the old wooden battleship "Britannia." He spent four years in China during the period of the Doxer Rebellion, and then.. having parsed all his examina- tions with flying colors, he received very rapid promotion, and at the age of twenty was Ingle 'a Lieutenant. He served for some years in the Mediter- ranean on 'H.M.S. Bacchante, flying the flag of the late Admiral Sir Bald- win Walker, Bart, said later on the same ship under Admiral Sir Henry Jackson, the late First Sea Lord.; Af- ter having qualified as a gunnery spec- ialist Commander Fisher served for a short time on the staff of the Director of Target Practice. Later he joined H.M.S. Bellerophon as Gunnery Officer and when in 1912 Mr. Winston Churchill introduced stair training in- to the Navy Commander Fisher was one of the first batch of officers to take thedetaff course, ultimately being selected to remain on as a lecturer at the Naval College at Portsmouth. When war broke out he went to sea with Admiral. Sir Alexander Bethel, the then president of the War Collage, ne Flag C t rine xeeserve Fleet. He was associated here with the important work of safeguarding the passage of the Expeditionary Force to France, and was present at ' the landing of a small force of Royal Marines at Ostend in September, 1914, With the termination of this work in the winter of 1914 he joined the trade Division of the Naval War Staff at the Admiralty and was there in charge of that part of the organization set up to deal with questions relating to neutral shipping. These ware the early days of the blockade and nentral steamers were doing their best to evade the Naval Patrols and carry supplies to No Race. t The fat man rushed through the - gates just as the Limited was pulling d out.

Com minder Fisher took a prominent par in devising and carrying out the sys tem of supervising the movements an cargoes, etc., to neutral vessels b means of control over their suppiie of bunker coal at ports at home an abroad. This system, when in full working order, materially lightened the arduous task of the cruisers em - played an blockade duty, because it was one of the conditions that al ships bound to or from countries ad jacent to Germany should call volm tarily for examination at a Britis port. Commander Fisher's services in this matter have recently been recognized by the award of a C.B.E. In 1916 he was employed as techni- cal representative in the various ne- gotiations for the use of neutral ship- ping by the Allies. This work was of vital importance to France and Italy and indirectly to this country also, in maintaining supplies during the most difficult part of the war. Incidentally, Commander Fisher gathered a valu- able knowledge of the shipping in- terests of Europe. During this period Commander Fish- er served on various Government Coin - mittees dealing with commercial and shipping matters, including amongst others the Coal Exports Committee presided over by SiretDouglas Owen and the Board of Trade Committee for the Conservation of Coal, presided over by Sir William Marwood. It is not without interest that the latter Committee, on a notion by Command- er Fisher, supported by Sir Richard Redmayne, passed a resolution which ultimately led to the introduction of -the Daylight Saving Bill by the then Home Secretary, Mr. Herbert Samuel. In the summer of 1917, soon after the United States came into the war, a liaison officer was appointed to link the British Ministry of shipping with the American shipping board. Sir Thomas Boydenwas first chosen for this important post and he was follow- ed by Commander Fisher, who filled this difficult and responsible position with marked success, en America Commander .Fisher had an opportunity of examining at first hand the shipping and transport pro- blems of the States and Canada and in connection with his duties he visit- ed all the principal ports on the At- lantic seaboard, including the Cana- dian ports of Montreal, Quebec and Halifax.

TO THIS SAYS CORNS LIFT RICHT OUT NOW "_a a o 0 0 a You reckless men and women who are pestered with corns and who have at least oncea week invited an awful death from lockjaw orblood poison are now told by a Cincinnati authority to use a drug called freezone, which the moment a few drops are applied to any corn, the soreness is relieved and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts out with the lingers. It is a sticky ether compound which dries the moment it is applied and simply shrivels. the corn without in- flaming or even irritating the surround- ing tissue or skin. It is claimed that a quarter of an ounce of freezone will cost very little at any of the drug stores, but is sufficient to rid one's feet of every hard or soft corn or callus. You are further warned that cutting at a corn is a suicidal habit.
