Suring Blood Is Watery Blood How to Get New Health and New Strength At This Season Spring ailments are not imaginary. Even the most robust Find the winter months most trying to their health. Confinement indoors, often in over. heated and nearly always badly venti- lated rooms -in the home, the office, the shop and the school- taxes the vi tality of even the strongest. The blood becomes thin and watery and is clog.. ged with impurities. Sortie etnhave headaches and feeling of tag noun. Others are low spitited and nervous. Still othere are troubled with disfiguring pimples and skin eruptions; while some get up in the moroingfeelingust as tired as when they went to beet, These are all spring symptoms that the blood is out of order and that a medicine is need- ed. Many people take purgative medi cines in the spring. This is a serious mistake.- You cannot cure yourself with a medicine that gallops through your system and leaves you weaker still. Th s is all that a purgative does. What you need to give your health and strength in the spring' is a tonic medicine that will enrich the blood and soothe the jangled nerves. And the one alwaysreliable tonic and blood builder is Dr Williams' Pink kills. These Pills not only banish spring weakness but guard you against the more serious ailments that follow, such as anaemia, nervous de- bility, indigestion, rheumatism and other diseases due to 'bad blood. In proof of this Mrs D. E. Hughes, Ha- zenmore, Sask., says: "About a year ago 1 was, badly run down, my nerves were all unstrung. and I could not go upstairs without stopping to. rest. As 3 was a long ways from a doctor 3 de- cided to take Dr Williams' Pink Pills and in the course of 'a few weeks T felt like a new person. As an all round restorative I can heartily ae. commend this medicine:' l you are ` ailing this spring you cannot afford, in' your own intoes to overlook so valuable amedicine as Dr Williams' Pink fills.

The best soil re a deep loam, the hest site ie one wbere the sun shines the greater part of the day. remote from large trees, with a southern, or, next best, eastern exposure, and well drained. Hybrid perpetuals prefer a stiffer soil than the tenderer varieties. Set these two fent apart andthe p rugosas '80 inches apart, and all a half inch deeper than they were grown in the nursery field or in pots. Prune severely. ,taking care that the topmost bud points out ward. The rugosas and climbers, however, should be pruned as little as possible. Removing the weakest canes and shortening hack the stronger is sufficient. Among the beet and most reliable hybrid perpetuals are General Jaequeminot, Paul Neyron, Ulrich Brunner, Frau Karl Druschi, 3d, P, Wilder and Anne de Dienach. In the regosa group the best are Conrad Ferdinand Meyer, New Century and. Sir Thomas Lipton, The best climbers are Dorothy Perkins, Excelsa, Hia wartha, Lady Gay, Trier and Tauseod echoer'.

Ile is pri- marily the Shepherd of Israel, leading Joseph like a flock, dwelling between the cherubim (Ps. Isis, 1). He is also the Good Shepherd giving His life for the Sheep and giving eternal life to His sheep, the sheep o0' tale pasture (John x, 11, 27, 23; Ps. c, 8). He is the Great Shepherd risen from the dead, by whom God works in His people that which is well pleasing in His sight (Heb..xifi, 20, 21). He is alao the chief Shepherd, who, at the resurrection of the just, will give the crowns to those who have won them and among others the crown of glory to those who have faith A fully f0' the Bock (I Pet, v, 1-4). All the shepherds, such as Abel, Ja- cob, Joseph, Moses and David, were wondrously typical of the Good Shep- herd, and the women also, such as Rachel and Zipporah, who kept sheep, give us much to meditate upon, but all ceuters upon Him who is altogether lovely and of whom our souls say, "My meditation of Elm shall be sweet; I will be glad in the Lord" (Song v, 16; Ps. civ, 34). The sequences of Scrip- ture are most interesting and helpful studies, and in Psalm =II, xxiii, xxiv, we have one of the most wonder- ful, Ps. xxii tells very fully of Hth sufferings, as if written by an eye - Witness; Speaks of Elis hands and feet pierced, His garments divided and loth cast upon His vesture, and quotes some of the very words flung at Him as He hung upon the cross, but it also tells of the resurrection and the kingdom. Ps. well./ suggests Israel's glory in the millennial Kingdom, and Ps. xxiv tells of the Bing of glory ruling the whole world in righteousness. No one can truly say "The Lord is my Shepherd" who has not seen Him dying in their stead, bearing their sins In His own body and received Him as their own Saviour (Gal. ii, 20; I Pet ii, 24; John i, 12; 1ph. 1, 6, 7). Then only can we be sure that we shall never want any good thing, for He who spared not ills own Son will with Him also freely give us all things (Ps. xxxlv, 9, 10; lxxxiv, 11; Rom. vill, 32). It is impossible that such a Shep- herd could, withhold from any of His sheep anything .really good for them. Pastures of tender grass and waters of quietness (Ps. 13, margin), such would Pio have us enjoy always if we would only Rep ;eloso to Elim and not stray away Ilke it lost sheep, choosing our own pasture and causing Elim to grieve over 110, saying, "Ole, that my people had Hearkened untome and lsrael had walked in my ways" (P^ Hard lines. , I Youngbubby has an awful ache.
