Health Must be Guarded as She' Cotnes to Woxuanhood. 1,'very mother who calls to mind her own girlhood knows how urgently her daughter is likely to need health and strength during the years between , early school day,;, and womanhood. It is then that growing girls droop and. become bloodless and nervous. NA - tux* is calling for more nourishment that the blood can supply, and signs of distress are plainly evident in dull eyes, pallid cheeks, weak and aching backs Red a dislike for proper food. i These sisiia mean that the blood is weak and watery. The watchful mother takes prompt steps to give the new, rich blood her system calls for by giving bee Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. No other medicine has ever succeeded like them -arid thousands of mothers have proved their worth. Mrs. W. 11. McIntyre, Gananoque, Ont., tells what these pills have done ter both iieraeif and her daughter.

Lucid Moment, A doctor had been called to see a man who was very ill. He examined him and said to the nurse: "You must watch the case very .closely through the night, and tell me all the symp- ores when I coxae back in the warn- ing." The pian became worse during the night and talked a lot of nonsense in bis fever, When 'the doctor returned in the nxoruing, he said to the nurse; "Tell ale exactly what happened after I eft."

MacCallum, M.A., Social Service Council of Canada Alberta is now the seventh province ot the Dominio:a that bas committed Itself to a policy otgovernmental regu- lation of wages for women. In British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario government regulation is well under way; in Alberta, Quebec and Nova Scotia the requisite legisla- tion has been enacted, but the acts are not yet in force. Alberta has not yet had time to take action; but Nova Scotia and Quebec have had the legis- lation on their statute books for three years, Action will probably be all the more effective for the delay, for these two provinces will soon have a wealth of experience in other parts of the Dominion to guide them, when they do begin to enforce their Minimum Wage .Acts. There is a general conviction tlilroughout Canadathat some govern- mental action should be taken to pro- tect workingwomen from each other and from exploitation by cheap •em- ployera. Teat is to say, there is a large percentage of our workingwomen who are entirely dependent upon their ,own earnings, and it is felt that the right of these women to a living wage should be upheld in the face of the fact that many semi -dependent women are naturally willing to work for less than a living wage. Minimum wage laws ie. Canada, then, have been pass- ed largely with the aim in view of making it illegal for an employer to pay or a female worker to accept less than a certain rate of wages, deemed by the Wages Board to approximate to a fair standard of living. In Great Britain minimum wage legislation ap- Plies to men as well as women, but in Canada, whether wisely or not, little bas been said about protecting that fluctuating, vague and inarticulate body of men workers which is for- tunately smaller here than in many other countries. In all countries where minimum wage legislation has been enacted, the ultimate aim of the legislators is to create decent stand- ards of living where they do not exist, and thus give to all classes of workers a sense of self-respect which will in time engender enough independence of spirit to enable them to look after themselves. That self-respect is con- seieuousIy lacking among those work- ers whose standards are still of the lowest order. It is found that many sueh workers do not appear to care whether their wages are raised or not. Their indifference is born ef physical, unifier -nourishment, and applies- to al- most lmost all phases of their ixistence. It is to the advantage of the workers, of the province, and of individual em- ployers as well, that apathy of this kind be done away with. British Columbia has had the long- est experience of any Canadian pro- vince in the field of minimum wage legislation. Industries have been dealt with one by one, until wages have been regulator in almost every industry in which women are largely employed. Wages for adult workers Geography in Names. Many things we use every day aro named after the towns from which they originally came. For instance, probably you have a pain or worsted socias, which were once made at Worstead, but which nowadays come principally from Hud- dersfield; or a Panama hat, which comes from' Ecuador instead ef the place from which it took its name. Cambric handkerchiefs are so-called from the town of Canlbrai, in France. Treed. suits, Inverness capes, and Leghorn hats are examples of athe same thing, The connection between damsons and Damascus is not so ob- vious, but damson ix featly only a con- traction for Damascene plum. Cur- rants get their name from the fact that originally, they were made from small grapes, which still grow near Corinth; in Greece; they were former- ly called Corietelaus. Cherries came from the city of Cera sus, which once stood in Male ?!Minor, while chestnuts preserve the name of Castana, another city of the past, whence the trees -first came to Europe. The names of two cheeses, Cheddar and Stilton, comae faom two villages, one in Somerset and the other in Huutingdonseiro. Worcester, Dres- den, and Sevres have all given names to different kinds of china, and Delft, a small Dutch town, is remembered by Delft pottery, A GOOD MEDICINE FOR THE BABY Nothing can equal Baby's Own Tablets as a medicine for little ones. They are a laxative, mild but thorough in action, and never fall to relieve con- stipation, colic, colds and simple fevers. Once a mother has used them she will use nothing else. Concerning them Mrs. Saluste Pelletier, St, Damns des Aulalees, Que., writes,—"I always keep a box of Baby's Qwn. Tablets in the house. They are the best medicine I know of for little ones and I would not be without them," The tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25e a box from The Dr. Williams' Medielno Co., Brockville, Ont. ,Awaiting Her Tricks.

"No one Is living aright unless he so lives that whoever meets him goes away more confident and joyous for the contact." vary from $12.75 to $15.54 per week, representing often an increase of about 35 per ceut. Hours have been shortened, so that forty-eight is re- garded as a normal week. British Co- lumbia's experience tenas to refute the opinion held by many that a mini- mum Mage Is apt to become the maxi- mum and so defeat its own purpose, In 1920 average wages in different in- dustries were found to exceed the minimum by as much as $3.19, $1.5, $2.04, $2.55, and $4.43 per week. In Saskatchewan almost half of the laun- dry workers are receiving more than the miehnum, and about two-thirds of the workers in shops and stores are in a similar position. The Wage Boards of Manitoba and Ontario have made a large number of awards, and are exeerimenting in dif- 1erential wages for various localities according to size. Their awards are not generally as high as those in Sas- katchewan and British Columbia, but by the use of the informal conference with employers and employees, they are making a valuable addition to the world's experience in minimum- wage regulation.

Ward Howe, who devoted her life to the service of humanity had a wonderful vision before she passed to the beyond. The story of it is here given in her own words. One night recently I experienced a. sudden awakening. I had 'a vision of a new era which is to dawn for man- kind and in which men and women are battling equally, unitedly, for the up- lifting and emancipation of the race from evil. "I saw men and women of every clime working like bees to unwrap the evils of society and. to discover the whole web of vice and misery, and to apply the remedies and also to find the influences that should best count- eract evil and its attendant suffering. "There seemed to be a new, a won- drous, ever -permeating light, the glory of which I cannot attempt to put in human words the light of new-born hope and sympathy blazing. The source of this light was ;human en- deaver—immortal pureose of count- less thousands of men and women, who were equally doing .their part in the world. "I saw the men and the women, standing side by side, shoulder to shoulder, . in a common and 'indomit- able purpose ligliting every face with a glory not of this earth. All: were ad- vancing with one end in view, one foe to trample; one everlasting good to gain. "And then I saw the victory. All of evil was gone from the earth. Mlsery wasblotted out. Mank;ncl was en-.anci gated and ready to march forward in a new era of human • understanding, all encompassing sympathy and ever-pre- sent help. The era of perfect love, of peace passing all understanding.' ISSUE No. 41—'22 &amities'u 31"itnaset Dor Sontodirr Book on DOG DISEASES and Row to Feed Wailed Free to any Ad - dr ass by the .' uthor.
