Anaemia is like a spectre that
siewle on you unawares and,c1rives
all happiness out of existence, lb
•is- •a thief that robs 'you of your
life and energy. Thousands of wo-
- Dien in this country are the vic-
tims of anaemia (that is, bloodless-
ness), which spares neither rich
nor poor, young or old. It robs
woman of her health, her vitality,
her be auty —of everything th a t
gives a Iranian- her charm. The
chief symptoms oLithis trouble in-
clude a distate for !feed, prostrat-
ing headaches, extrenie humour,
loss of weight, nervousness, pale
cheeks, lipsand gums. heart palpi-
tations, dizziness and a con.secint
feelingeof 'wretchedness.
The only way to effect a cure is
to merease the blood supply—tio
make it plum, rich and red. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills have saved
thottsands of young girle- and. wo-
men from the early fate that threat -
ed them through anaemias rav-
ages, for these pills enrich the
blood, stimulate the cimulation,
nourish the nerves, and restore the
energy and perfect health that
make women attractive. If you
are a victim of bloodlessness in
any way, do not let it run bete a
'hopeless decline, but begin the use
61 Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to -day.
The following bit of evidence
proves the worth of tali§ medicine.
Mrs. Maurice Sims, Liverpool N.
S.; says: "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
have ,been a hlessing to me. About
two years ago I :wee so badly run
down that I had to give up all
work and go to bed. My 'husband
and parents were much worried
about me as they -thought I was
going into cronsumption. The doc-
tor who was' attending me changed
his medicine several times; but it
did me no good and I began to feel
very much discouraged myeelf. One
day a friend advised me to try Dr-,
Williams' Pink Pills and I decided
to do so. In a few weeks I felt
much better and I continued tak-
ing the pills for a couple of months
etnej) I was again in perfect health.
bt(lieve that if I had not taken
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I would
nob have survived, and I shall al-
waye be very grateful for w'hat
they have done ROT 7:0e."

Though South 'Africa is Steadily
becoming covered with a •network of
railways, there are etill greet
stretches of country, that are not,

transport, writes A.' Lotion Bridger
in London Answers., -
West of Mafeking, right to the
seaboard; there is one unbraken
stretch of veldt; and to reach the
Atlantic coast thero is only one
way to travel, namely, trek it by
ox-waggen.
Fate once:rent Me, on a trading
trek up to Lake Nganii.
Well, Lake Ngaini is ',about a
thousand miles from nowhere'. To
he little more accurate0 however,
the lake, lies in the northeweetern,
part of the ,Bechuanaland Protec-
torate, and to reach, the little
trading centre up these-, one has to
crossthe northern, part of the"
dreaded Kalahari — a waterless
desert.
Athwart the Wastes.
My, waggon and eighteenoxen to
pull it, and, the load on it was only
5,000 lb. But it took me over two
'menthe to cover the five or so
hundred 'miles that lay between the
small native capital of Serowe and
Tsau, the capitol of Ngamiland.
Half of the distance was over
Sandy, waterless desert, .and tbe
rest through fever and lion -inteet-
ted veldt.
"We'll outspart here, Natal," I
cried to my nativ,e driver.
It was just an hour before dawn,
and the African sky VMS. lit with a
myriad of stars. • The oxen were
quickly unyoked, but were not al-
lowed to graze, as we would be on
the move again in an hour.
We were half -way in the desert.
We had been on trek twelve clays.
The oxen were used to "thirsts,"
but the ceaseless strainof the sandy
desert was making itself felt. The
beasts -were already looking worn
and shaken.
I sa.t down by the small fire we
had kindled, and smoked. Every-
thing was very quiet. Thesleep-
ing veldt was hushed. Arounil isa
were miles of flat, sparsely -vege-
tated country, every mile the same.
Not a drop of water had we se.en
for two days sines we thad left the
last well; and there lay thirty miles
of waterless veldt before the next
well would be eeached. ,
The saffron hue of breakingday
is now tinting the eastern sky. It is
time to inspan again. Soon the ox-
en are all in their yokes, and the
signal to start is given.
The min has now risen. It is
growing hotter. The oxen are be-
conaing distressed. The merciless
whip descends—and again. We no
time for pity. _Water must be
reached! On and ortethe wretched
animals pull their load. Tlie elm
is now high in the heavens. We
outspem.
In Scanty Shade.
The weary oxen lie under the
scanty shade of the stunted bushes.
We lie under the waggon, and -doze
in the heat of the day. Evevything
is parched and dry. Everywhere
around us is the sandy desert.
It is nearly sundown. Inspan
again. Once again on trek over the
same unending epoor. It's now:
dark, and, night brings ems relief.
The stars come out in all their bril-
liancy, antl the moon throws ghostly
sha,ddies over the sleeping veldt.
Whoop I Whoop I soundS in the
clear night air, A short .outspan.
A little fire glows, and we drink a
hasty cup of eoftee. The oxen lie
exhausted. No neeeesity to tie
them to their yokes; they are now
too tired to move!
Another dawn is breaking. It
grows lighter. We inepen again.
A startled stembitek darts
through the bush at !the sound. of
the approaching waggon. The oxen
plod wearily over the beevy sand,
The axles of the' waggon ,sink; the
wagon sticks, fast. The ;merciless
whip cleeeends. An ox falls at the
yoke, but is flogged into obedience
again. No time for pity I 'Wetter
must be reached..

,
We are now out of the desert and
by the river. La.rge, leafy trees
overshadow ,the waggon wher,e we
are outepanned. Monkeys in little
bands clamber ewer the braechee
and utter hrill cries.. Behind us
flows the deep Botleele'. its banks
thick with reeds, amidst which lis

THE "SIIIPLE BOER."
The Late President Was a Striking
• Example. ,
If I know anything of my Boer
countrymen, says Mr. Goecion Le
Sueur in his biography of Cecil
Rhodest their moat characteristic
nal:lima1 traits are suspiciousness
and slimness (cunning). In every
proposition they euspeet some trap,
and in every offer an ulterior mo-
tive; all their negotiations they
will leave a loophole for possible
escape. • We hear a but about the
"simple 33oer," but in -most instan-
ces he can, with the help of the cun-
ning he possesses, hold his own;
there never was a more striking
example of the Boer type than the
late president, S. J. P. Kruger.
The following is as. characteristic
Kruger story: A farmer, dying, left
his fame to be divided equally be-
tween hie two suns. On the farm
was an unfailing spring that bah
oovetey, and the brothers ,could
not come to an agreement .about it.
They decided to appeal to Kruger,
and on .their'doing so, the president
asked for a plan of the Saran. lIa
leeked ab it, and thee, handing it
to the elder brother, told him to
draw a line that would make what
he considered to be e fair division
of the farm.
The eldee brother did se, not
without misgiving, for he felt he'
was going to he "had" somehow,
althongh he did not see how.
Atter making the division, he
handedbeek the plan to Kruger.
"You believe that is a lair divi-
sion?" asked Kruger.
"Yes president, ' answered the
elder brother a little doubtfully.
"Very well, then," Kruger re-
plied. He handed the plan to the
younger son,%and .said to him, "Now
you take your choice."
Lacking Courage.
Miss. Bute—Jack Timmid lias ask-
ed me if he might call to -night. 1
think he wanbs to tell ane he loves
me.

out' saying. '

he will, too. •

The large army of perstins who
have found relief from many chron-

"I had been a •coffee drinker

(Tea is just as injurious because it
eontains the same drug, caffeine).
"I had Beard about Postum ancl

ed to quit coffee and try it.
I was delig,hted with the change.

very devoted to her and between
them there exists a very real and

He reeds the Madrid daily press

Extremely Democr ate.
The palace in Madrid May be
considered the most democratic in
Europe, One day last summer when
.Alfonso visited Oviedo lie noticed
at the telegraph office an antique
telegraphic apparatus of the nine-

prese•man Who aee,ompamied him he
remarked : "Gentlemen, lase cem-

A prominent newspaperman in
Toronto tellsa geed story. He is a
huge man—both ways. When ho
was in England he went to Clovelly,
Id Devon, ivhere, at the bottom of a
steep declivity you may catch a
glimpse of the sea.
The newspaperman, who leans to-
wards fatness, toiled down to the
bottom. of the rocks and got the
view. Then he looked at the steep
road which the had to climb to get
back. A native of the place earn()
along, and the newspaperman emu-
plained to the old villager' that
there should be some motor or trac-
tion car running up the cliffs.
Said the villager : "When the Al-
mighty put those cliffs there He
didn't expect people to be so lazy
they wouM complain about elimbing
up and down. Besides, -we don't
want any motors -with their oil ancl
stench; we don't wanh any reeks
railway with their petrol and smell.
In fact, sir, ive don't want any ver-
nacular traffic of any kind I"

"For years I was thin and delicate.
I lost color and was easily tired; a
yellow paller, pimples and blotches on
my face were not only mortifying to
my feelings, but because I thought my
ekin :Would never look nice again I
grew despondent. Then my appetite
failed. I grew very weak. 'Various
remedies, pills, tonics and tablets I
tried without permanent benefit. A
visit to my sister put into my hands
a box of Dr. Hamilton's Pills. She
plaCed reliance upon them and now
that they have made ine a well woman
I would not be without them whatever
they might cost. I found Dr. 'Tamil -
ton's Piils by their mild yet searching
action very suitable to the delicate
character of a woman's nature. They
never once griped me, yet they estab.
lthhed regularity. My appetite grew
keen -env blood red and pure—heavy
rings under my eyes disappeared and
to -day my skin is asclear and ulie
wrinkled as when I was a girl. Dr.
Hamilton's Pins did It all."
The above straightforward letter
from Mrs. J. Y. Todd, wife of a well-
known miller in lthgerthville, Is meet
sufficient that Dr. Hamilton's Pills are
a wonderful woman's medicine. Use
no other pill but Dr. Hamilton's, 25o,
