Painting by Robert Holmes of the Lake Louise poppies. Slender and fragile --snow-white, blood -red, and as yellow as the sun.—a million poppies blow in the breezes that shiver over the emerald waters of Lake Louise, and bring as many lovely dreams to weary tourists. They grow, these beautiful little Iceland flowers; that are just a shade more delicate and fairy-like than our native poppies, • down to the very shores of Lake Louise, beside thewinding paths, in among the rocks; •and close to the grey walls of the Chateau. In the evening they are silver and copper and gold in the n oonlight, and their magic steals over you like a dell cions drowsiness, There are all aorts of legends as to where the Dei) - pea came from. Seine say that the first seedlings were brought to Lake Louise by a beautiful princese. while others tell you that a mysterious stranger scat- tered cattered the seeds one night by moonlight,•"children are sometimes told that each little poppy is a tiny dream, and that they are put there by the fairies who wanted to be kind to the people who loved their Lake Louise. • But it was neither fairy nor princess who gave Louise her poppies of yellow and red and white. Visit- ors to Lake Louise owe their poppy dreams to one Mr. ICrook, horticuit:.rist of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way, who searched the world over for a flower that would grow and thrive in the high altitudes -of the Rockies. One day when he was travelling in Northern Europe, be saw a field of Iceland poppies and there flashed upon his mind a picture of Lake Louise gay with poppies of red and white and yellow. He pro- cured some seed and on his return to Canada planted it in the nurseries at Wolseley, Saskatchewan. In the Spring of 1912, two thousand Iceland poppy plants were elilpped to Lake Louise and transplanted. Out of these have been propagated the enormous number to' bre found there to -day. • Who Has?" Mrs•. Aristah Kratt—"Ani you have Before Mr. Krook introduced the Iceland poppy at Lake Louise, it was rather an obscure little flower, but to -day it is known the world over—made famous by Lake Louise. Poets make verses about its slender beauty -artists come to paint it. Above is a study of the poppies by an outstanding Canadian artist, Robert Holmes, which attracted great attention when it ap- peared` at a Toronto art exhibition last spring.

Without good, health there can be no lasting beauty. Every woman has an inherent beauty, but so many unconsciously handicap themselves in the effort to look their best! Any physician will tell you that the basis of good health lies in keeping the system free from those poisons that accunlutate so quickly if the body does not function. naturally every day. Unfortunately, six out of ten women, it is estimated, are risking their good health con- stantly because of the fact that these toxic poisons do not naturally move out of their systems. And the result is that their leapt' is impaired, not to the extent of putting them: into a sick bed, but through little head- aches,a constant feeling of fatigue, a heaviness that makes thein dull and crttties' a spiritless attitude to- ward life and its duties.
