A Sure Sign That the Blood its
Watery and Ixupure.
Peoplewith thin blood are much.
more subject to headaches than full-
blooded persons, and the form of anae-
mia that afflicts growing girls is al-
most always accompanied by head-
aches, together with disturbance of
the digestive organs.
Whenever you have constant or re-
curring headaches and pallor of the
face, they show that the blood is thin
and your efforts .should be directed to-
ward building up your blood. A fair
treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills will do this effectively, and the
rich, red blood made by these dills
will remove the headache.
More disturbances to the health are
caused by their blood than most peo-
ple have any idea of. When your blood
is impoverished, the nerves suffer
from lack of nourishment, and you
may be troubled with insomnia, near-
itis, neuralgia or sciatica. Muscles
subject to strain are under -nourished
and you may have muscular, rhea-
matism or lumbago. If your blood is
thin and yon begin to show symptoms
of any of these disorders, try building
up the blood. with Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, and as the blood is restored to
its normal condition every symptom of
the trouble will disappear There are
more people who owe their present
state of good health to Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills than to any other medicine,
and most of them do not hesitate to
say so,
You can get Dr, Williams' Pink Pills
through any dealer in medicine or by
mall at 50 cents a box or size boxes for
$2;50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine

SWASTIKA'S ORIGIN.
Good -Luck Symbol of Primitive People
Still a Mystery,
There is an almost worldwide ec-
currence of the Swastika as a deeorr,-
tive and sanctifying device, It occurs
in China, Korea, Japan and India,
both in modern and ancient times.
It was used by the ancientMycen-
eaaas, grad abundantly in ancient Troy,
and by the people of the Bronze Age
in Europe, but not by the ancient
Egyptians, Babylonians, Assyrians or
Persians, nor by the Greeks of the
great classical period. It is abundant
on Etruscan work, but disappeared
from general use in historic times in
Italy and the rest of Europe, though
used as decoration on the walls of a
house in Pompeii and ,on an Anglo.
Saxon vase from Norfolk.
A most remarkable fact is that it is
in use among the Indians of Colorado
and Mexico, and has been found in
America in ancient work dating from
1000 years before Columbus.
The name Swastika, given to this
"device," in Indian means "good
luck!" Tile word svasti in ancient
Sanskrit means "hail or "be well,"
like the similar Greek word cuesto, It
is also called the "gammadion,' be-
cause it is like four individuals of the
Greet: letter gamma—united, In old
English it was called "Fiyfot," mean-
ing "many footed," and it is some-
times described as a "tetraskelion,"
referring to its four branches or limbs.
It is often scratched on clay or drawn
with a paint brush, and when its
limbs are curled spirally it is called an
"ogee." It is sometimes supposed
(though it seems erroneously) to be
derived from a cross incribed in a
circle by the breaking of the circle et
four points and the subsequent con-
version of the curved limbs into rec-
tilinear verticals.
The Swastika is, as we have seen, a
very early device or symbol in use
among very ancient races in Europe,
Asia and America. Though found on
an ingot of metal in Ashanti, it was
of late foreign introduction there, and
is net known in Africa nor in Poly-
nesia and Australia, nor among the
Eskimos.

The last of August is a good time
to seed new lawns. The autumn rains h

Here are two of the houses which have been built by the Halifax

NATIVE AFRICAN RITES,
Only Mother or Wife of Deceased
Tribesman Expected to Show Grief..
Strange rites and ceremonies still
filmed in Africa. Most of these have
their origin in superstitions instigated
by the medicine men or magicians of
a tribe for their own betterment, While
many are adopted as customs of a
tribe.
Foremost of the funeral "celebra-
tions" in Africa is thet of a tribe canoe
Bangalas, near the Quango river. Here
the deceased is asked to state the
cause of his death and is often prose-
cuted before being buried.
Tile death of an African in these
sections is never announced, and only
on inquiry is anyone told of the death
of a tribe member. When the death is
generally known the relatives come
and fall into a state of excitement and
wafflings, with frequent interruptions
of a hilarious nature. OHMS a.

and the revelry is continued until a

during these ceremonies and fastene

placed at the door of his llut, Th
idea of the natives is that the d
ceased shall share in the festivities..
Only the mother and wife of the d
ceased show signs of grief, After th
"celebrations" the deceased is put un

who caused his death, Naturally h

Desert as Big as Europe.
The great Sahara desert covers th
major part of northern Africa, con
sisting of 3,500,000 square miles—a
arid region as large as the whole o
Europe. From 100 feet below se
level it rises in one instance to 8,00
feet above, and some of its elevation
are covered with snow for thre
months of the, year. Most of it, how
ever, is a cry, sandy waste, dotte

Autumn.
By the margin of the woodland
Where the fields come sloping down,
Crimson stains like gory biatehes,
On the forepiece of a crown,
Glint and glimmer an the foliage
Of the maple and the line,
Marking where the guru and sumach
Intermingle and entwine.
A wall of leafy verdure
All the summer they have stood
To guard the sylvan pathway,
Brave sentinels of weed,
Their robes of green untarnished
By the sunshine or by rain,
Till Autumn, subtle artist,
Lays on the crimson stain,
Where lately grew the violet,
And eglantine was seen,
Where black-eyed Sue coquetted,
The aster now is queen.
The iron weeds along the marsh.
In slumber seem to nod,
The pasture fields grow yellow
With royal golden rod.
A dreamy silence in the grove
Soft whispers in the pine;
The Bob -white's Love notes echo
om
Frhis covert in the vine.
The yellow sunshine on the grass,
The sky line bending Clear,
A thousand tokens, plain as words,
Proclaim that Autumn's here.
The Friend Who Just Stands By.
When trouble coarses Your soul to try,
You love tltefrieud who just "stands
by!"
Perhaps there'snothing he can do—
The thing is strictly up to you,
For there are troubles all your own,
And paths the soul must tread alone,
Times when love cannot smooth the
road,
Nor friendship lift the heavy load.
But just to feel you haveeaa friend
Who will "stand by" until the end,
Whose sympathy through all endures,
Whose warm hand -clasp is always
yours—
It helps, some way to pull you through,
Although there's nothing he can do,
And so with fervent heart you cry
God bless the friend who just "stands
by!„

The ostrich, camel, jackal, horned
viper and numerous lizards are the
principal animals of the region. Sever-
al varieties of hardy birds are also
found. Arabs, Moors, Jews and ne-

routes and the fierce -looking Arabs
who bring their produce to the Egyp-

KEEP CHILDREN WELL
DURING NOT WEATHER
Every mother knows how fatal the
hot summer months are to small
children. Cholera infantum, diarr-
hoea, dysentry, colic and stomach
troubles are rife at this time and
often a precious little life is lost after
only a few hours illness. The mother
who keeps Baby's Own Tablets in the
house feels safe. The occasional use
of the Tablets prevent stomach and
bowel troubles, or if trouble conies
suddenly—as it generally does—the
Tablets will bring the baby safely
through. They are sold by medicine

Thimble Made For Thumb.
The thimble was originally called a
thumb bell by the English,' because
work on the thumb, then a-thumble,
and finally its present name: It was
a Dutch invehtfon and was first
brought to England in 1695. Thimbles
were formerly made of iron and brass,
but in comparatively late years they
have been made be gold, silver, brass,
iron, horn, ivory and even glass and
pearl. In China beautifully carved
pearl thimbles are seen, bound with
gold and with the endof gold. The
first thimble introduced into Siam was
a bridal gift from the king to the
queen. It is shaped like a lotus bud
made of gold and thickly studded with
diamonds arranged to spell the queen's
name. --
Of course, thimbles are used by the
women to aid them in pushing the
needle through the material. It saves
their fingers from being cut by the
needle and there is hardly a house-
hold in the whole wide world that
doesn't own at least one thimble.

Palace of Versailles,
Voltaire estimated that Versailles
cost Louis about 20,000,000 pounds;
Mirabeau put the cost at more than
40,000,000 pounds, and Volney at near-
ly 60,000,000. The exact cost never
has been known, and there is a popu-
lar story that the grand monarchwas
so scared when lie saw the bilis that
he tore them up, so that no one should
know how much he had expended on
it.
The work was begun in 1651, when
20,000 workmen and 6,000 horses
were set to work to create the great
park and build the chateau. Thirty-
four years later a courier wrote in his
diary: "There are more than 36,000
peasants now at work for the king in
and about Versailles. These half-clad
and half-starved wretches die by the
dozens under the strain of the cruel
tasks imposed upon them." The
family of each workman who died in
the king's service received about
twelve shillings as compensation.

Hospital records show that every
time you cut a corn you invite lock-
jaw or blood poison, which is needless,
says a Cincinnati authority, who tells
you that a quarter ounce of a drug
called freezone can be obtained at lit-
tle cost from the drug store but is suf-
ficient to rid one's feet of every hard
or soft corn or callus.
You .simply apply a few drops of
freezone on a tender, aching corn and
soreness Is instantly relieved. Short.
ly the entire corn can be lifted out,
root and all, without pain.
This drug is sticky but dries at once
and is claimed to just shrivel up any
corn without inflaming or even 3rri-
toting the surrounding tissue or skin.
