growing weaker, until she was prac-

lips and gums were colorless, she was
nervous, and suffered from indigestion
and palpitation of the heart. At this
stage a friend of mother's, who lived
at a distance, came to see her and
strongly advised her to try Dr. Wile
liams' Pink Pills, which, she said, had
greatly helped her in a critical illness.
We got these pills and mother began
taking them, The improvement was
slow at first, but we could see that the
sinking spells were growing less fre-
quent, and that strength was return-
ing. The treatment with Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills was continued, and day by
day health and strength returned, un-
til.she was again able to go about, and
help with the work of the house. The
improvement this medicine made in
her case was simply remarkable.
"I may also say," adds Miss Hankla,
"that in my own case these pills were
of the greatest benefit. Last winter I
was in a badly run-down condition,
and very nervous. My appetite failed

Love at a distance .until you are en-

custom lovers are driven to strange
expedients to communicate with each
other. Consider the gentleman of
Vigo whom Mr. Ralph Stock tells
about in the Cruise of the Dream Ship.
Picture if you can, says. Mr. Stock,
a well-dressed Spanish gentleman
standing in the middle of one of the
main thoroughfares and gazing toward
one of the housetops; he is apparently
engaged in practicing the deaf-and-
dumb alphabet. No one of the stream
of pedestrians passing along the side-
walks •takes` the slightest notice of
him; neither does the wheeled traffic,
except to swerve obligingly out of his
path. It is his affair, 'and a love af-
fair at that. He is conversing with
his inamorata at the third -floor bal-
cony window yonder. It needed three
vulgar sightseers such as the crew of
the Dream Ship to find anything un-
usual in the proceeding. I am ashamed
to say that the lady caught sight of us
and pointed in alarm; whereupon the
gentleman turned with an excusable
frown of annoyance, and we hurried
on our way.

HEALTHY CHILDREN
ALWAYS SLEEP WELL
The healthy child sleeps well and
during its waking hours is never cross
but always happy and laughing It is
only the sickly child that is cross and
peevish. Mothers, if your children do
not sleep well; if they are cross and
cry a great deal, give them Baby's
Own Tablets and they will soon be
well ; and happy again. The Tablets
are a mild but thorough laxative which
regulate the bowels, sweeten the stom-
ach, banish constipation, colic and in-
digestion and promote healthful sleep.
They are absolutely guaranteed free
from opiates and may be given to the
I new-born babe with perfect safety.
The new sales tax will not increase
the price of Baby's Own Tablets, as
the company pays the tax. You can
still obtain the Tablets through any

"No—most of 'em are poor fish still."
The old collector of precious things,
Cups and ewers and coins and rings,
Its weight in gold twice over paid
For the pitcher of lead and copper
made;
For the atmosphere of the long ago
Clings to the humble metal, lo!
Homely virtues, and simple joys,
And the merry prattle of_ girls and
boys.
The pewter pitcher is full of dreams
Of bowery woods and crystal streams,
A farmhouse brown with mossy eaves,
Rosy apples. and golden sheaves,
Amber lamplight and bread and milk,
And yellow cream as smooth as silk.
Of all his treasures of gems and art,
Tho pitcher is dearest to his heart.
