GUARD BABY'S HEALTH IN THE SUMMER The summer months are the. most dangerous to children. The complaints of that season, which are cholera in- fantum, colic, diarrhoea and dysentry, come on so quickly that often a little one is beyond aid before the mother realizes he is ill. The mother must be on her guard to prevent these troubles or if they do come on suddenly to ban- ish tthein, No other medicine is of such aid to mothers during hot weather as is Baby's Own Tablets. They regulate the stomach and bowels and are ab- solutely safe. Sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box front The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville Ont. Killed by.

If you suffer frons any form of indig-: tion, your diet should be carefully chosen. Over -eating is always harmful, but at the same time one must take enough food to supply the needs of the blood. It must be remembered that the blood has to carry nourishment to every part of the body, find fuel far energy and defence against its enemies as well as the requisite juices for digestion. Hence, when the blood Becomes weak and fails to do its work, indigestion aris- es, also when indigestion begins the blood still further suffers. Theeefore, to safeguard your digestion the blood should be kept rich and red and this can best be done by taking a course of Dr, Williams Pink Pills. These pills are a blood -building nerve -restoring tonic and through their use your digestive system will respond naturally your appetite will improve and your food will do you good. The value of Dr. Wil- liams Pink Pits in cases of stomach trou he is shown by the experience of Mrs. Jet. Alexander, Barriefield Ont, who -says. "Some years ago I was in a terri- bly broken down condition. I had indig- estion of•severe nature and sharp pains of agony all through Inc. My stomach was so weak that it was diffi- cult to retain food, and often after eat- ing I would have vomiting spells. I was under medical treatment, but as I did not improve nee nerves were in a ter- rible condition and I was always , in much misery. One day I read of a wo- man who had been cured of similar trouble through the use of Dr, Williams Pink Pills, ,and I decided to• try them. The resultcan be summed up by say- ing that after using the pills for some weeks 1 was completely cured could eat a hearty meal and was again enjoy- ing life. 115 feel run down at any time I take Dr. Williams Pink Pills and al- ways get benefit from them." You can get these pills through any dealer In medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr, Williams Medicine Co., Brock- ville Ont.

A paper baler will not take up much more room in the cellar of an establish- ment than a good-sized garbage can or barrel. When the place Is swept for the day all that is necessary is to separate the paper and dump it hato the baler, having care not to put in any foreign substance, One of the dealers states a case where disregard of this cased trouble. A rotten orange or lemon got into a bale of paper and instead of the moisture from it being absorbed it soak ed through and spoiled the whole bale. Firms that made a careful practice of looking after the waste paper say that all sorts of things valuable and invaluable are found in the baler. Par- cels dropped in the store, small items, are often found in this way whereas a sweep of the material into the backyard for a fire would mean the end of them.
