Little Boy Blue,.

But sturdy and ,stanch he stands;,
And the little toy soldier is red with

And his musket moulds,:in his hands.

And the soldier was passing fair; .
And that was the time when 'our Little

C ' eed them and put them there.
"l ow, don't you go till I come," he.

"And don't you make any noise:"
So, toddling off to his trundle -bed,
He dreamt of the pretty toys; •

Nervous Children.
There are some children, otherwise
in apparent good health, who sniffer
from an over -excitable '. weakness .of
the nervous system that -manifests
self in spasms of various muscles or
in general convulsions'. : Tho larynx
to very apt to be the seat of this trou-
ble, which shows itself in attacks of
epaasuio•ddc crop; again, sometimes as-
soeieted with croup, soraetianes, occur
ing' .independently, there are cramp-
like spasms of the hands and feet. In
general all the muscles react instantly
and strongly to any stimulus, such as
a sharp tap with the finger.
This muscular irritability has been
found to be due to a fault of nutrition,
namely an inability to absorb or as-
similate lime, and the medical prob-
lem. . is to ' overpome this defe+et, and
bring about a normal lime• digestion.
An ample supply of lime -containing
fired must be given and if there are
other forms of digestive trouble they
must be treated. It .is *ell to start
the treatment with a dose of castor
oil, to ensure- the removal of any •tox-
ins or poisonous material from the di-
gestive tract.

MOTHERS PRAISE
BABY'S OWN TABLETS
Mrs. L. M. Brown, Walton, N.S.,
says:—"I cannot recomneezd Baby's
Own Tablets too highly. I have found
thesn invaluable for the ailments ' of
little ones." Nth. Brown's testimony
is the same as that of thousands of
ether mothers who have used the Tab-
lets. To use them once is a sure guar-
antee that they will always' be kept in
the home as long 'as there are babies
or young children to be cared for. The
Tablets are a laxative — mild but
thorough in a,otion—which never fail
to regulate the stomach and; bowels
relieve constipation and indigestion.;
break up colds and. simple fevers and
make the dreaded teething period'
easy, In fact you banish ell the minor
ills from which little ones suffer. The
Tablets are sold by medicine dealers
or by mall at 25 cents a. box from The
Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville,

Prayers for Oysters.
Y Y
An unusual celebration is to be held
shortly by a Japanese firm of artificial
pearl dealers. They are to ereet a
monument in memory of oysters whose
lives have been sacrificed for the sake
of the pearls that have enabled the
firni to,become so prosperous. Pearls
that even the leading experts are un-
able, to distinguish from the natural
product are manufactured by this firm.
The monument is being laid out,in
front of the Imperial Shrine at Ise,
and will take the form of a.tower con:
taming 10,000 pearls. A religious mass
Is to be said at the unveiling for -the
repose of the souls of the oysters.
Most visitors to Japan have remark
'ed withdelight ':on t e wonderfully
carved ivory statuettes that are offer-
ed for sale: A',few months ago ..the
leading Japanese ivory workers held
a religious ceremony in memory of the
thousands of elephants that had . been
killed to make these statuettes.
tSomewhat similar was the ceremony
beld -by geisha for the souls of cats
!slain to provide• the necessary material
for the Japanese musical instrument,
the samisen, 'played by the slinging
girls-.
Now It Can Be Told.
"Oh, Daddy," said the young Iady,
"Mrs. Jones said you were the hand-
somest man on our ;street."
What's that?" asked the father.
"There was a brief silence, then the
daughter shook her head and said,
"Well, I guess it's true, all right."
"What's true?' asked the father,
"That every. time you compliment a
man he makes you repeat it."
