Healthy girlhood is the only path to
healthy womanhood. The passing from
girlhood to womanhood lays a new tax
upon the blood, It is the overtaxing of
the blood that makes growing girls
suffer from headaches and backaches,
from paleness and weakness and weari-
ness, from languor, despondency and
constant ill health. Unhealthy girlhood
is bound to lead to unhealthy woman-
hood and a life of misery. Nothing
but the blood building qualities of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills can save a girl
when she undertakes the trials ancj
tasks of womanhood. That is the time
when nature makes new demands upon
the blood supply. Dr, Williams' Pink
Pills actually make new, rich blood to
meet these new demands. In this
simple, scientific way Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills give growing girla new
health, and makes their dawning
womanhood bright and attractive.
Miss A. Sternberg, Haileybury Road,
New Liskeard, Ont., says; . I have
much reason to be grateful to Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills as they restored
we to health, if, indeed, the,/ did not
save my life. In 1914 1 be ftn to feel
run down, and the doe : who was
called in said that mine as a bad case
of anaemia, I lost fi-:h, always felt
tired, and 1 got . n: vous that I could
scarcely hold a to take a drink.
MThe doctor did not seem to bheart woul flutter ablalarmingly.
help me at alt and my family and
friends all thought that I was in a
decline and could not recover. I was
in bed for some weeks when an aunt
came to see me and urged that I try
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. My father
got a supply, and by the time I had
taken three boxes there was a notice-
able improvement, and from that on I
steadily progressed toward recovery.
I continued using the pills for some
time longer, and they restored me to
my old time health and strength. I
shall never cease to praise this medicine,
and to urge all weak run down girls to
give it a fair trial, as I have proved in
my own case their great merit."
You can get these pills from any
dealer in meicine or by mail at 50 cents
a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The
Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville,
Ont.

To Ptes. William Webb and Alexander
Underwood,
Dear Boys:
We, as friends and neighbors, here
assembled for an hour or two of social
intercourse, desire to express our
appreciation and respect for two young
men who have enlisted for overseas
service.
As the Empire of which we form a
part is engaged in the most gigantic
struggle the world has ever seen, and
when our young country was passing
through one of the darkest periods of
its existence, the call for men was
most urgent, and while many others
of military age and physically fit failed
to respond to the call, you have come
forward and,offered your services in
defence of King and country.
So we, your friends and acqueihtances,
desire to present you with these small
gifts as a token of our esteem and
appeciation of the sacrifice you are
making for your country.
We sincerely pray that you may
safely return again to our midst, to
follow the pursuits of peace.
Signed on behalf of your friends and
neignbors:
William T. Burns

Toronto, August 28th Receipts at
the Union Stock Yards to -day were 14''
cars, with 2,654 cattle, 228 calves, 691
hogs, and I,601 sheep
Cattle moved very slowly today at
the Union Sotek Yard, the moderate
run contained in 140 cars taking more
than the usual time to dispose of. The
market was generally draggy, though
prices of most animals were firm, with
the weak spot in hogs. The latter sold
from 35 cents to 50 cents lower. last
week's predictions of a further drop
Cattle were generally steady. the
better grades of animals selling around
last week's tops. The greater part
were, however, poorer quality, making
the average price fairly low. Butcher
eows were slightly lower, but the drop
amounted to only a few cents
Spring lambs were lower, selling at
103,1c, to 114. CaiVes were also some-
what easier.

BLACK LEG IN POTAOES
Testimony is forthcoming that ow-
ing to the work of the. Dominion plant
pathologists, the disease of Black Leg
in Potatoes has decreased. Still it
caused considerable destruction to the
potato crop, particularly in the Mari-
time Provinces, In continuation of the
good work that has been done, Circular
No. 11 has been issued by the Division
of Botany at Ottawa, entitled "The
Black Leg Disease of Potatoes caused
by Bacillus solanisaprus," which can
be had free on application to the Pub-
lications Branch of the .Department of
Agriculture. The author is Paul A.
Murphy, B. A., A. R. C. Sc. I., Assist-
ant in charge of the Plant Pathological
Field Station for Prince Edward Island,
who was also responsible for the re-
cently published circular on "Late
Blight and Rot of Potatoes." "It is,"
says the Director of Experimental
Farms, "with a view to making known
to Canadian farmers the means of
control found ,to be most efficacious,
that the present circular has been
prepared," Mr. Murphy states that
the disease, notwithstanding the
diminution noted, in 1915 cost the
Maritime Provinces the large sum of
3695,255. It is interesting to know that
with early care and attention the disease
is comparativbly easily controlled, Mr.
Murphy details the symptoms in clear,
terse language, describes the life -
history of the causal organism, esti-
mates the loss in the Maritime Prov-
inces at $6.75 per acre with an average
y:e d of 133 bushels, gives the methods
of control and supplies notes on the
prenaration and use of the disinfectants
t at a -e suggested. Notification is also
c inveyed that further information, if
desired, can be had on application to
the Dominion Botanist, Central Ex-
p-rimental Farm, Ottawa.

fighting Against Ourselves
--for You
cZScSL•�M^��
FOR many years the publishers of weekly newspapers have
fought against raising the price of their paper from $ 1.00 to
$1.50 just because they feared to take a step that might
"get them in wrong" with their subscribers. Yet all these years
the costs of publishing have been mounting up, up, up to an
alarming point.
Now tear has brought the matter to a head: It has added "the last straw"
Paper prices, ink prices, the prices of type, ink -rollers, and supplies of ail sorts
have soared so that it costs us s good many dollars more each week to produce
The Times than it did a generation ago, or 20, or 15 or 10 or even 5 years ago.
Necessity compelled us to raise the subscription price of The Times to $1.50, this
advance going into effect on July 1st. Our light for you -the fight against our-
selves -must come to an end. And just because we have given you the hest end
of it :all these past years, when the cost of living and the cost of publishiing were
climbing all the time, we now ask you to reciprocate by paying the higher price
willingly.
We believe that you are ready to pay the higher price
Three cents a week! An extra cent! Is there a man or woman in
this community who will say that he or sae cannot afford it.
Three cents --the price of an egg in winter, the postage on a
l -tier. the prise of a pint of milk, the price of a glass of butter-
milk or half the price of a cheap cigar! Surely no one will say
that three cents a week for a local newspaper is more than he ar
she can afford.
Your local newspaper is about the cheap*
est thing in the world
