Need the Rich, Red Blood Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills Actually Make.
Thin -blooded people do not remain so
! from choice, but from indifference; in
some cases from despair. People who
are pale, languid, with palpitation of tt e
heart, some difficulty in breathing and
a tendency to be easily tired are suffer-
ing from thin blood. Theyneed only
the resolution to take the right treat-
ment and stick to it until cured. rhe
remedy that can be relied upon is Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People,
With every dose they make new blood,
and new blood means health and strength.
The red cheeks, good appetite, increas-
ing weight and strength that follow the
Use of these Pills prove their great
value to thin -blooded people. Here is
an example, Mrs. R. Steele, Afton
Road, P. E. I., says: "Following child-
birth I took a pain in my head which
grew so bad I had to call in a doe r.
He told me that my blood had tu d to

he had but little hopes of my getting
better. A cousin who came to see me
urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,
and I sent and got a supply. In about
a month after beginning their use I had
much relief, and by the tirne I had taken
six more boxes I was fully cured and

The annual meeting of Alexandria
Maine and General Hospital board was
held Friday night in the court hoes°
with only a fair attendance. Reports
kiv en showed 87 patients treated, 16
births, 8 deaths. Treasurer's report
showed a substantial balance on hand.
The board decided to pass resolution to
the town council asking for a grant of
$15,000 to enable them to put the Cam-
eron property in shape. Over a year
ago it was found that the present hes-
pital was too small and inadequate for
its purpose and the Cameron property
was bought bet was not fixed up owing
to the heavy expense invo'v.d.
CLINTON. (
The town of Clinton is now using the
electric power generated at Niagare
Falls,' connection having been made
yesterday. Last night most of the
houses were using Hydro, and had it
not been for a few fuses burning out
all the churches would have been light-
ed by the Niagara power; One prea2her
prepared a sermon for the occasion,
but as his church was in darkness he
decided to change the sermon to one
suitable to coal oilr
A number of factoriee have been con-
nected with the Hydro, also the town
waterworks. The streets are still light-
ed by the old plant, but as soon as the
new motors and other machinery and
other manufacturing plants will be
supplied with Hydro.

BLIIEVALE.
•On Monday evening the Bluevale Lit-
erary Society had the pleasure of listen -
leg to an address by Prof. S. B. Mc-
Cready, of Guelph, on the subject of
consolidated schools and the teaching of
Agriculture. Inspector Field, of God-
erich, was also present and gave a
pleasing talk on the value of literary
societies to the community, suggesting
further possibilities of usefulness, such
as the establishment of a library, ex-
pressing his pleasure that a new school
was at last to be built here and urging
that it should be planned so as to be a
credit to the neighborhood and give the
widest possible service to the people.
Prof. McCready, who followed, gave
an eloquent and inspiringpicture of the
new school as the social centre of the
entire disteiet, well built, well lighted,
well ventilated, set in large and attrac-
tive grounds, a source of pride to its
owners and imparting new dignity and
self-respect to rural life. He showed
how the Literary Society, the Women's
Institute, the Farmer's Institute, the
social and atteetic organizations could
all co-operate with the school in making '
better conditions of life. The school'
would contain an assembly -room with
a piano where these societies could
hold their meetings, where concerts j
and lectures could be given, where the
young people could present plays and a
local orchestra could be established.
The school grounds would be large
enough for the boys of the neighborhood
to hold their football and baseball
matches and for tennis and basket -ball
to be played while in the winter a por-
tion of the grounds could be flooded for
a skating rink. Part of the land could
be devoted to school gardening and the
school building be equipped for teach-
ing the other subjects which would be
of greatest value to the people who
would always reside here. Prof. Mc-
Cready assured his hearers that this
was no idle dreams but was in actual
operation in other places and he told
the Literary Society that they had the
organization that could help to make
this dream come true.
During his lecture Prof. McCready
I showed a series of lantern slides illus
trating the teaching of agriculture in
the schools and at the 0.A.C., school
children's experiments, school fairs,
school gardens and grounds. The pic-
tures included a number of consolidated
schools in Ontario and Manitoba and
also views from Australia, New Zea-
land, England and the United States.
A vote of thanks was moved by Mr
R. Black and seconded by Rev. C. Tate.
"A Nicht wi' Burns" will be given
on Wednesday, Feb. 25, as owing to
stormy weather it had to be cancellt. d
