The -woman at home, deep in house- hold duties find the cares of mother- hood, needs occasional help to keep her in good health. The demands upon a mother's health are many and severe. Her own health trials and her children's welfare exact heavy. tells, while hurried meals, broken rest and much. indoor living tend to weak- en her constitution. No wonder that the woman at home is often indisposed ) through weakness, headaches, back- aches and nervoustyess. Too many women have grown to aeeept these visitations as a part of the lot of motherhood. But many and varied as her health troubles are, the cause .is simple and the cure at hand. When well, it is tirewoman's good blood that keeps her well; when 111 she must make her blood rich to renew her health. The nursing mother more than any other woman in the world needs rich blood and plenty of it. There is one always unfailing way to get this good blood so necessary to Perfect health, and that is through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills make new blood abundantly, aim through their use thousands of weak, i.. ailing wives and mothers have been made bright, cheerful and strong. It you are ailing. easily tired, or depress- ed, it is a duty you owe yourself and your family to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial. What this medicine kas done for others it will surely do for you. Music Laving Spielers. It has been %asserted that spiders possess a sensitiveness to musical sounds. Some species appear to ea- apond to the notes of the piano, the harp, the flute, and so on, in a manner suggestive of their ability to recog- nize these sounds or the harmonic vi- brations on which they are based. But Prof. Leeaillos. of Paris, who bas made a, special study ot the in- . sweets and the supposed "psychism" Of spiders, thinks that the apparent sensitiveness of these insects to music has been misunderstood. It is thought that when musical instruments are et played near their webs the spiders simply feel the vibrations without re- cognizing tied musical notes as wends. The effect uponthem is similar to that of the buzzing of an entrapped. ,Ay. Cook with a thought of to -morrow and thus save fuel bills. The R-34 and Air Routes. Valuable information has been ob- tained from the oversee flights of the R-34 in the British Government's am- bitious plan to weld. the empire with a series of air routes of commercial as well as military purposes. ` Becauge of the mare advantageous and comfortable travel by the R-34 compared with that by planes, the large crew on board and the prepara- tions made tor scientific investigation by qualified men, the data obtained as to meteorological conditions, air cur_ rents and other points in eying are much more valuable and trustworthy than those gleaned from the airplane flights over the ocean. Britain has a chain of landing places southward awl eastward from; Gibral- tar, about 900 miles from London "as the` plane flies," toward the Cape, to Egypt, to India and to the Australas- li}la possessions. Besides, the popular jumping off points between Europe and NorthAmerica, the west coast of Ireland and Newfoundland, are in the British Empire. Ie. seeking security for India the British Air Board is doing its part in plans for a series of landing stations acepss India and down the Malay Pen- insula, and thence onward by way of Sumatra and Borneo to Australia. This followed the steps to develop the Cape -to -Cairo route for aircraft, which as a permanent line of communication was made possible by the seizure of Germany's African colonies. Material gleaned from British air• craft voyages indicates that straight line routes between place and place will not be adopted anyhow in the pre- sent eonditlous of flying. CHILDHOOD CONSTIPATION Constipated children can find prompt relief through the use of Baby's Own Tablets. The Tablets are mild but a thorough laxative which never fail to regulate the bowels and stomach, thus driving out constipation and in- digestion; . colds and simple fevers. Concerning them Mrs. Gaspard Daigle, Demain, Que., writes: "Baby's Own Tablets have been of great benefit to my little boy, who was suffering from constipation and indigestion. Tiley quickly relieved him and now he is In the best of health." The Tablets are sole by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a bix from The Dr, Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Whereas it is shown by reliable statistics that the amount ,of the i. average annual loss of property by fire in Canada exceeds twenty million dollars, the loss for the year 1918 be- ing in excess of thirty million dollars, and that there is in addition a large annual unappra,ised loss from forest fires which, if unchecked, threatens to greatly impair, if not to entirely des- troy, our heritage of forest wealth; And whereas, there is also every year in Canada a deplorable loss of human life as a result of fire; And whereas, it is desirable for the well-being of the nation that a greater regard for the . sanctity of human life be inculcated; that the ma- terial wealth of the nation be so far as possible conserved, and that every agency which tends to needlessly dis- sipate or destroy human life or pro- perty be vigorously opposed; And whereas, it is authoritatively estimated that at least seventy-five per cent. of =be fires occurring are ereventable by the exercise of proper care on the pate of individual citizens, and that therefore a co: respuntiiag proportion of the annual toss from fire can be avoided; And whereas, it is desirable, in order that the attention of the public may be directed to the extent of the preventable loss of life and property from fire and the best means of con- trolling it, that one day of the year be set aside and properly designated for the dissemination of suet informa- tion and the giving of such instruction on fire loss and -fire prevention as may be practicable;— Now know ye, that we, by and with the advice of Our Privy Council of .Canada, have thought fit and do ap- point Thursday, the Ninth day of Oc- tober in this present year, as "Fire Prevention Day" and we do recom- mend to all our loving subjects that, on that day,— 1. All dwellings and their surround- ings be carefully inspected by their occupants and all conditions likelyto cause or' promote the spread of fires1 removed. 2. All pubic buildings, stores and factories be inspected and Bleared of; rubbish. 3. Fire drills be held for the chil- dren in all schools and for employees in all large stores and factories. 4. Special instructions on the sub- ject of fire prevention be given by the teacher and by niilnicipal officials in the schools and that such appropriate! literature as may be mad, available! be distributed to the pupils. 5. All legislation and regulations enacted or issued by Dominion, previa -I eqt[as or municipal authorities dealings 3f€tb fire prevention be given publicity by the municipal officials, and -that by public meetings or otherwise as may to them seem most fit, thee endeavor to impress upon the citizens the na- tional importance of safeguarding life and property from loss by fire. MOLASSES IN THE RATION. There is quite an Interest displayed by breeders and dairymen all over this country in molasses as supplementary feed. There is no question but that its use on the farm is spreading in such proportion as to make it in- teresting for our readers to know something about the feeding value of molasses, its effect an the live stock, ete. First of all, it must be borne in mind that molasses may be divided into as many classes as hay. Simply to say molasses is not saying much. There seems to be very little of beet molas- ses used in straight form as a feed for live stock as in the case of sugar cane molasses. It seems that beet niolas-' ses contains too much ash, and it acts', as a purgative. There is also sugar'. cane molasses which does not quite come up to standard of a feeding mo- lasses. There is the re -boiled molas- ses with a good deal of sugar extract- ed. There is the domestic molasses with sulphur dioxide marked on bar- rel. It seems that the safest molasses is the original pure sugar cane molas- ses. A good molasses should test 52 per cent. sugars and not over 6 per cent. ash. The flavor ot the molasses is also important. It may often hap- pen that the same testing molasses is not the same tasting. It would seem that the most im- portant use of sugar cane molasses is in connection with the disposal of roughage on the farm. It is surely the most practicable way of making feeds palatable and digestible. The usual method Is to thin the molasses with water so that it runs as freely as cream and to pour it over dry corn fodder, straw, old hay, etc, A sprink- ling prinkling can with the holes enlarged, often proves very handy. Some find it well to grind up theft, roughage and mix the molasses with roughage and grains. This is the best method, for, besides the grains which may be subs- tituted pound for pound to that of molasses, the roughage also replaces much of the grain. Of course the handling of molasses is different from that of other feeds and for that reason a number of live stock owners refused to feed it, but. those who are aware what benefits can be derived through the judicial feeding of molasses will soon find a convenient method of feeding it, and will not be without It. - About three pounds a day Is the average amount prescribed for cows. Horses are fed from 2 to 6 pounds per day according to the amount of energy or work required from them. Swine benefit on % pounds per day per 100 lbs. of live weight. Calves are fed from 1/4 to 1 cupful per day. A good molasses will please the animal and make it more fit for maxi- mum production whether it be flesh or work. It will keep the bowels in good order and prevent ailments due to indigestion. It produces a sleek coat. A progressive live stock owner should always have some on hand. —Michigan `''Business Farming. • —.ter POINCARE LEARNS ENGLISH. French President Wearied of Frequent Use of Interpreter. M. Poincare, president of the French republic, speaks English equally as well as Premier Clemenceau. The impetus to Poincare's desire to know English was given when the Entente Cordiale resolved itself- into an al- liance before thesenemy. The president soon 'earied of hav- ing recourse to a translator and in- terpreter when it became an urgent necessity to be thoroughly posted in press opinions and to converse fre- quently .with English and American statesmen and soldiers. So he set to work with an English professor. His morning lessons' were so success- ful that in a few months: the presi- dent's English was sufficient for short conversations. Madame Poincare, who speaks Eng- lish fluently, helped him, and now the president of the republic can make a speech in the language. A Cali to Every Former Student of the University of Toronto Among the pages of Canada's Wa- tery that will tell the story of sacri- fice and devotion so remarkably de- monstrated by young Canadians in the World War, none will illustrate more clearly the spirit of Canada than those 'devoted to the sacrifices made by men and women who were formerly students at the University .cot Toronto. Deeds of heroism on their part are not to be recorded here, but it Is well known that they played. their part fearlessly and well. To perpetuate the memory of the Varsity men and women who died in defence of civilization during the Great War it is proposed to erect a Physical Memorial, and also to es- tablish scholarships and a War Memorial Lectureship.. A memorial tower built in architectural harmony with the surrounding buildings, con- taining a beautiful chime of bells, win connect the west wing ot the Univer- sity of Torouto with Hart House, the magnificent new gymnasium and students' union, the centre of under- graduate life in the university, Ad- joining the • tower will be a memorial hall, and in it the names of all stu- dents and former students who served'. in the war will be recorded In a worthy setting. The establishment of the scholar ships, however, will take the larger portion of the e500,000 to be secured. These will be apportioned among the different faculties for the aid of those returned soldier -students and their children who are in need of help, and will be given to soldiers who were alumni and to their dependents. Loans will also be made to soldier - students who could not otherwise com- plete their education. Tho decision to use the funds in this way was reached after a thorough canvass was made throughout Canada. . Every graduate and former student is to have the opportunity of contribu- ting to the fund. As far as possible the canvass will be by personal solici- tation. In some centres this has been started and in others it is about to be undertaken. By the latter part of October the campaign will, it is hoped, 'be in operation throughout the world and will have become the biggest thing of its kind ever attempted, having re- gard to the extent of the field to be covered. In Ontario the county unit will be used and organization along these lines is proceeding rapidly. The county canvass will centre in logical places and in this way it is hoped to reach practically every graduate and former student. Counties and local communities have the privilege of establishing a scholar- ship for their own students provided that a sufficient amount is raised. lblinard's Liniment Cures Buns. eto.

One day last summer some poor children were permitted to go over .a stock farm which is located In the •out- skirts of Philadelphia, and when their inspection was done, to each of them was given a glass of milk. The milk was excellent. It came, in fact, from a $2,000 cow. "Well, boys, how do you likesite" the farmer said, when they had drain- ed their glasses. "It's fine!" said one little fellow. Then, after a pause, he added, "I wish our milkman key' a cow." This is to certify that I have used MINARP'S LINIMENT in nay family for years, and consider it the beat lini- ment on the market.

LISTEN TO THIS I SAYS CORNS LIFT RICHT OUT NOW e" 0 0 0 You reek€ess men and women who are pestered with corns and who have at least once a. week invited an awful death from lockjaw or blood 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 fingers. 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. "SYRUP OF FIGS" Pon aalGi XTEWSPAPi8R, WEEKLY, IN BRUCE County. Splendid opportunity.
