he had sat down to a sumptuous

LITTLE WORRIES 1.
IN THE ROME
It Is These That Bring Wrinkles
And Make Women Look Pre-
maturely Old.
Almost every woman ab the head of
a home meets daily many little wor-
ries in herhousehold affairs. They
may be too small to notice an :hour
afterwards, but it is these same con-
stant little worries that affect the.
blood and nerves and make women
!look prematurely old. Their effect
may be noticed in sick or nervous
headaches, fickle appetite, pain in the
back or side, sallow complexion and
the' coming of wrinkles, which every
woman dreads. To those thus afflict-
ed Dr. Williams Pink Pills offer a
speedy and certain cure; a restora-
tion of color toihe cheeks, brightness
to 'the eye, a hearty appetite and a
sense of freedom from weariness.
Among the thousands of Canadian
women who have found new health
through Dr. Williams Pink Pills is
Mrs. N. Worrell, Broughdale, Ont.,
who says:—"After the birth of my
second child I was' so weak and run
down that I wasunable to do any-
thing,. The doctor said I had scarce-
ly any blood in my body. I could not
walk half a block without being com-
pletely exhausted and all the treat-
ment of the doctor did not seem to
help me. I called in another doctor,
but.with no better results. My feet
and legs became frightfully swollen, I
suffered with severe pains in my back
and sides. I would be all day drag-
ging around at my housework, and I
was beginning to give up all hope
of recovery. I had been urged to try
Dr. Williams Pink Pills, but like many
others, thought they could ' not help
me when doctors had failed to do so,
but after much urging I decided to
try them. To my surprise in a few
weeks I found myself getting better.
I then gladly, continued their use and
found myself constantly growing
stronger, and eventually able to do
my house work without fatigue. I
strongly advise every weak woman to
give Dr. Williams Pink Pills a fair
trial."
You can get these Pills through any
medicine dealer or by mail at 50
cents a box or six boxes for $2.50
from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,
Brockville, Ont.
MEN BLINDED IN WAR.

colleagues with their highly -colored
imaginations.
It is highly probable that the "Day"
may be attempted. But it will fail.
To land in great numbers guns and
men and stores and munitions -on a
hostile coast in a few hours, with a
powerful opposing fleet in being to
contend with, is impossible.
Blucher's Fate.
The Dogger Banks affair showed
us that it was by no means plain sail-
ing for fast battle -cruisers to at-
tempt even to reach our coast; those
saved from the Blucher realized this
to their cost; for if the Derfflinger
and Lutzow got a hammering . and
saw their consort sunk when on • a
mere "raid," what so -rt of reception
are they to expect when, hampered
br a mass of transports and mine -

the German transports and their es-
corts ..escape the eyes of our 'fleet.
They are not going to bring -to along-

cranes and power units to enable
them to land their cargo of men and
stores and guns? The only way a
German army can land on our shores
is by means of lighters and steam
launches on an open beach.

action the Germans may slip through
and land a brigade—perhaps three—
on our shores. But they will never

ships crawl away they will realize
the truth of Nelson's famous saying,

Forests of the Punjab.
The jand forests of the Punjab are
spread over the arid, alluvial plains,
where, as a rule, the rainfall does
snot exceed 10 inches. The area cov-
ered is 33,500 square miles. The tree
is remarkable owing to the length of
its tap root, specimens having been
found with a tap root as much as 84
feet in length descending vertically
to a depth of 64 feet. This tali root
enables the tree to obtain its water
supply 1.
from the permanent water pp y in

perhaps the worst injury possible in
war—blindness—have been taught to
support themselves despite their
handicap, at St. Dunstan's Hostel, Re-
gent's Park, London, during the first
year's work of the. institution. St.
Dunstan's was donated by Otto Kahn
of New York for this work.
The work has been largely done by
the instruction' of blind tutors, for it
has been found that a newly blinded
man is inspired to greater efforts
under the supervision of ateacher
similarly handicapped who undergoes
the same difficulties and appreciates
to the same degree the difficulty of
the task.
The fifty-one men who left the
hostel after receiving courses of in-
struction had learned one or more of
the following occupations: boot re-
pairing, mat making, riet making,
basket making, joinery, poultry farm-
ing and market gardening. In addi-
tion, typewriting, Braille shorthand
and massaging are taught.
The hostel started on March 26,
1915, with fourteen blinded soldiers.
It has grown
until there are now at
St. Dunstan's or at annexes at
Brighton and Torquay 140 non-com-
missioned officers and men. These in-
clude seven Australians and seven
Canadians. In addition ten blinded
officers live at 21 Portland place,
which was at the disposal of the com-
mittee in charge of the hostel by Sir
John and Lady Stirling -Maxwell. .
In typewriting the blind `soldiers
have shown great proficiency. The
typewriting test, to write a page of
descriptive matter and a long busi-
ness letter at a fair rate of speed
-without a mistake, has been passed by
eighty-three of the pupils. A type-
writer is presented to men who pass
this testi. A typewriter ompany,
after consultation with the most ex-
pert teachers of the blind, has con-
structed special machines for blind
men. •
Six men, besides one officer, have
learned to be masseurs and to these
are offered positions in military hos-
pitals, where they receive lodging,
attendance and about $13 a week.
The work of St Dunstan's extends
beyond the mere instruction of blind
men, however, for each man receives
free of charge when he, leaves the
tools of his'trade and is helped to set-
tle in a good locality.
T. H. Martin, an expert in work
for bhe blind, will be in'eharge of the
department which keeps ,, in contact
with men who have left the hostel.

A. BONNOT'S RHEUMATISM
CURED BY DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS
And With It Went All Those Symp-
•
toms Which Mark the Earlier
Stages of KidneyTrouble.
Grand Clairiere, Man., May 29th
(Special.)—"All persons who suffer
from rheumatism should use Dodd's
Kidney Pills." This is the statement
volunteered by Mr. P. A. Bonnob, a
well-known resident ' of this place.
Asked to give the reasons why Mr.
Bonnot said:
"I suffered for three years front
rheumatism. I consulted a doctor with-
out getting any results. Four boxes
of 'Dodd's Kidney. Pills fixed me up."
That rheumatism is caused by sick
kidneys .•farting to strain the uric acid
out of the blood was again shown in
Mr. Bonnot's case. His earlier symp-
toms . were: heart flutteriligs, broken
and unrefreshing sleep, . fitful appe-
tite, a tired nervous feeling, a heavi-
ness after meals, neuralgia and pack
ache.
When he cured • his kidneys 'with
Dodd's Kidney Pills. the rheumatism
and all the other : sympboms of
ney trouble disappeared.
NEW BRITISH ECONOMY.
Railroads Decide to Suspend All
Tourist Tickets.
The congestion on the principal
English railroads and the necessity
for economy will result in the

drawal of a number of dining cars
from service.
It is thought that the sus1ension of
tourist tickets will cause a greatly les-
sened volume of passengers on their
way to holiday resorts at considerable
from their home

PRINCESS LIKE 'PETER PAN."
Mary Is Nineteen, But Vary Girlish
In Her Ways.
"She's just like one of our own
lasses" a Canadian soldier remark-
ed of Princess Mary the day he was
one of the party of wounded entertain-
ed by the King and 'Queen at Bucking-
ham Palace, and he proudly displayed
the invitation card to the Palace
which the Princess had autographed
for him.
It was only one of dozens of such
cards that she had good-naturedly
signed. When she wasn't pouring out
tea she was surrounded by little
groups of soldiers and sailors who
begged her to write her name on
their cards, too, and in each case the
Princess smilingly agreed.
Princess Mary has been aptly call-
ed the "Peter Pan" Princess, so ex -
SECRET OF SNAKES GLIDE.
Method of Contraction That Enables
it to Crawl and Climb.
A snake moves along the ground by
contracting the .ribs on one side of his
body and separating those on the
other side, says the Philadelphia Re-
cord. • This forme one curve.. An-
other contraction takes place at the
end of the expanded side, and bends
the body in. the opposite direction,
Thus there is a series of alternate
constrictions and spreadings of the
numerous ribs throughout .the length
of the reptile as it lies on the
ground,
When the snake is in motion some
part of the bdy must secure itself
against rough or projecting surfaces,
from which the forward part can be
impelled. Then the forward part
takes hold and the hinder length is
dragged to a new position. The row
of shields along the snake's belly is
very quick in seizing upon the slight-
est projection, so that any rough sur-
face affords a good track.
In climbing a tree the snake uses
the same process. It must find
points of vantage for its curves.
BABY'S WELFARE.
The welfare of the baby is the fond
mother's greatest aim. No mother
wants to see her little ones suffering
from colds, constipation, colic or any
other of the many ills that so often
afflict little ones. Thousands of mo-
thers have Iearned that by giving an
occasional dose of Baby's Own Tab-
lets to their children they can keep
them well. Concerning the Tablets
Mrs. Richard Boston, Pembroke, Ont.,
says:—"Baby's Own Tablets saved my
little girl when nothing else appeared
to help her. I would not attempt to
raise a baby without keeping the Tab-
lets in the house." They are • sold
by medicine dealers or by rnail at 25
cents a box from The Dr. Williams
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

lation court ball given in her honor
with all its attendant trappings of
state for, like Queen Mary, the Prin-
cess has very simple tastes. She is
gifted with the sound common sense
of her mother, too, and forms very
decided views.
Once some of her friends were hav-
ing a friendly little argument as to
which profession produces the brav-
est men. Some said the army, others
the navy, others voted for the medi-
cal profession.
The Princess listened very quietly
to what they all had to say, and then
remarked very deliberately, "I think
you're all wrong. To Ivy mind air-
men are the bravest men that can be
found."
She goes about a great deal with
her mother now, accompanying her
to most social functions which have
the helping of our soldiers and sail-
ors as their object. She works very

FISHES CAN SMELL.

A fish hasn't a nose, bub it can

ed this. What is more, these experi-
ments have proved that odor travels
through water, just at is does through
air. Anglers have laid so much stress

It may be heresy in angling to pug -
gest that a "fly" should smell like a
fly. These scientific experiments show
how large a part smell plays in the
food pursuit of fish. Bait such as
small crabs was found and eaten ley
the fishes two or three times as rapid
ly when the shells were broken.. Bait
placed inside a gauze bag was saleI
within three minutes of being g lower-
ed in the water, ant almost at the
same time all the fishes began nib

Pants Warmed by Electricity.,
The latest invention of war is pants
warmed by electricity. Two German
professors invented it, Professor Max
Beck of Innsbruck and Dr. Von
Schrotter of Vienna. The soldier puts
on a pair of pants into which dre
woven extremely supple wires design-
ed insulation. Each
view to
e
pair looks exactly like the ordinary
trousers of the khaki uniform and can
be connected and disconnected at will
to batteries. With each pair are a
couple of connecting wires a hundred
or more yards long which permit the
wearer to walk about with some free-
dom.• Soldiers in the trenches find
these garments very comfortable dur-
ing the winter, and it is suggested
that aeroplanists will find in them
much relief from the chill air' of the
altitudes.
