Almost evet'y woman at the head of a home meets daily ' many little worries fu ilei household affairs. The pare of her little ones, the work about este house all contribute to these wories.

The effect of these lite oaths may be noticed in sick or nervous headache! fickle' appetite, tirednesa after slight exertion, and the coming of wrinkles which every woman dreads; To those thus afflicted Dr, Williams' Pink' Pills offer a speedy euro; a restoration of color to the cheeks, brightness to.the eye, a hearty appetite and. a sense of freedom from weariness, Among the many thou- sands housands of Canadian women who have found new health and strength through these pills is Mes..G. Stras- ser, Acton 'West, Ont., who says:— "I ani the mother of three children 'ter ' and after each birth I became terribly run down. I had weak, thin blood, al- ways felt tired, and unable to do my household work. After the birth of my third chill' I seemed to be worse, ' and was very-ytidly run down, I found the greatest benefit from the Pills and soon gained my old time strength. In- deed after taking them I felt as well as in my girlhood, and could take pleasure in my wor'K. I also used Baby's Own Tablets for my little ones • and have found them a splendid medi- eine for childhood ailments." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all dealers in medicine, or you can procure them by main at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The`` Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. THE WOODS IN WINTER. To a True Lover of Nature Old Trees Inspire a Feeling of Reverence. Probably there is no more widely diffused sentiment of the impersonal and nnselfish sort than the love of na- ture. Witness the swarms of summer vacationists who endure not a little discomfort to be nearer to the great out' of doors, even though that shall mean nothing beyond a country hotel and its contiguous flelds'and pasteres. To the great majority nature, to „.„.e, charm, must come with a smiling face. Green fields and sunlit meadows, cool woods murmuring to a summer breeze, a calm or playful sea, moun- tains bathed in moonlight and look- ing properly phantomlike from a snug 'veranda, with the hum of human voices to temper their wild and fan- tastic beauty—these bring just the note of reassurance needed to make them pleasurable to the casual excur- sionist. Those who truly love nature will not beso easily satisfied. A wild and furious sea, hurling it- self headlong upon a lonely beach or jutting headland, in the inky blackness of a starless night, a field seeming to cower beneath the lash of a January gale, mountains half hidden in snow- storms which appear bait upon bury- ing even those colossal forms, or standing revealed hi dread distinct- ness under blinding flashes of light- ning—these move the adept to heights of ecstasy not to be compared with the bland enjoyment of milder mo- ments. And so it is with the woods in win- ter. To those who have the proper Druidical reverence for trees and who can readily understand that a sturdy and majestic oak that hes flung its arms fearlessly against the wind for a hundred years should come to be wor- shipped by the mere weak incl grovel- ling race of men below, a wood is al- ways a sanctuary, to be entered with quiet tread and hushed voice. How much more impressive is it, then, when each individual tree stands stark and cold, like a soul awaiting judgment, when the thin and lifeless rays of the winter sun intrude where the hot glare of a summer noon could never enter, when all its secrets stand revealed, when the wind tosses its gnarled branches as if seeking in to fury for the leaves to which it whispered se- crets in forgotten June. combined with good judgment counts in business now -a -days.

The small boy is not forgotten while dainty things are being prepared for his little sister. For his social duties there are little suits of white moire with short jackets and colored vests. The vest and collar may be of pink, green, blue or yellow moire. These suits of silk are all very well for parties, but for school they are made of colored linens, poplin, rep and chambray.

Department W. PLENTY OF FUN AT THE FRONT. British Captain on Leave in New York Gives Some Trench Impressions. Capt.

"I was carry- ing despatches to different places within our sector; couldn't go to an- other sector without special orders, But one day I was asked to take a despatch to another sector and I took it.

Feeding birds in winter is a de- lightful and inexpensive recreation, ae it costs little in time, food or equip- moist, and ghildren particularly enjoy the benefit from this ferns of applied nature study, It attracts birds all winter to flit and chirp around the dooryarcl and it one of the important means of proem -sing bird life.

Every bb'd kept from starving rvlren cold weather, ice and snow shut'ofl its natural food supply will destroy hun- dreds of caterpillars, grubs, borers, beetles and insects that would prey on flowers, vegetables, fruit, foliage or field erops, It is far better to feed birds now than to grow crops for in- sects to devour later. The best foods for birds in winter aro suet or other fat,' pork rinds, bones with shreds of meat, cooked meats, cut up apples, birdseed, buck- wheat, crackers, crumbs, cocoanut meat,, cracked corn, broken dog bis- suits or other bread, hempsead, millet, nut meats of all ]rinds, especially pea- nuts, whole or rolled oats, peppers, popcorn, pumpkin or squash seeds, raw or boiled rice, sunflower seeds and wheat. Food houses can be made with solid roof and glass on three sides to per- mit observation and at the sante time to protect the food and the birds, If mounted on a pivot and supplied with a vane, the wind twill revolve it so `the open side will always be sheltered. Birds appreciate a supply of water in winter. This should be given daily in a clean dish. Keep a pot of water in the garden at nesting-,geason. Swallows, robins and phoebes will wall their nests with the mud gathered from it wet spot of this kind—other birds will make use of feathers, bits of wool, twine and straws: Tho eat is the greatest enemy of the bird. Homeless cats should be de- stroyed and pet cats should be kept in the house, BABY'S OWN TABLETS OF GREAT HELP Mrs. Wm. Artlett, Ancaster, Ont., writes:—"I have used Baby's Own Tablets for three years for my little girl and baby boy. I have found themtof the greatest help during the teething period and always keep them in the house." The Tablets aid teething babies because they regulate the stomach and bowels, thus prevent- ing constipation, diarrhoea and con- vulsions. They promote healthful sleep and keep baby well and happy. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co,, Brockville, Ont. ROSTAND'S REST CURE. How a French Poet Recovers His Mental and Physical Powers. The French poet, Rostand, accord- ing to a recent dispatch from Paris, has his own peculiar method of re- habilitating his mental and physical powers: he goes to,bed and stays there. A friend of the poet says that he is taking'an isolation cure of three months, which he is passing in bed in his house at Cambo. He sees no one except one servant, .everyone takes care to make no noise in the house, and the poet receives no letters or communications from the outside world except through newspapers — the war accounting for- this conpro- miseeef what would otherwise be per- fect isolation, He has taken one or two of these solitude cures before—ones when be was working on Cyrano, and once when he was slightly ill. He is not working particularly during this cure, except for some reading. Ile was feeling out of sorts for some weeks before he took it, which accounts for his decision. His friends say that these cures have a remarkable effect on his health. He gains a great deal in weight, loses his habitual nervousness, recovers his powers of working hard, and generally becomes his old genial self again. Mansonville, June 27, '13.

I'erforrned by the Mayor, Who Receives No Salary. British soldiers billeted in the small- er French towns and villages behind the lines have often been surprised at the notices of marriage posted outside the offices of the mayors of the vari- ous communes, For the majority of the inhabitants have departed fon safer places farther from the lighting zone. The explanation is simple. When a couple decide to marry in France notice of their intention must be posted for about three weeks in the respective communes of the bride and bridegroom, and in the communes where their respective parents reside. It often ha}ipens, therefore, that our different notices of marriage have to be displayed, and refugees from vil- lages in the wax zone must have their notices displayed in the usual way in their own villages. The ceremony is performed by the Mayor. A French maire is not as an English mayor. There are 36,000 may- ors for the 36,000 communes of France. The mayor is unpaid, his duties are much more onerous than those of the chairman of an English district council, his office is often part of the State school, and he is usually assisted by the village school- master, who acts as secretary to the commune, and who, by reason of his official position, is ineligible for the post of mayor. A marriage costs no- thing.. It is conducted usually in the council chamber by the mayor, who for the occasion always ties the tri- color around his waist. He usually delivers a little homily to the newly - married couple, and also usually ex- ercises his time-honored privilege of kissing the bride. Minard's Liniment Cures Colds, Etc. The Boss.

For a specific and typical case take that of Corporal .Tones, wounded at Ypres, suffering from shell -shock and tuberculosis, who, after three months in an English hospital, is sent home to Canada, and recommended for six months' treatment at the Laurentide Inn, Ste. Agathe, under Dr. J. R. Byers. As a Class A patient, Corporal Jones has two weeks' complete rest in' bed, with three hearty meals and three pints of milk per clay. Then 'he becomes a Class B patient and trades his bed for n comfortable canvas ehair on a veiandah, where be lies all day breathing the health -giving Lau- rentian air. At the end of two months 'he has gained 16 pounds, and partly recover- ed from shell -shock. After another examination, Dr. Byers prescribes fif- teen minutes' exercise morning and aftet'noon. So now every day Corporal Jones puts on his puttees, grips his cane, and walks leisurely up and down and around the gloriously-gar'mented hills. Every week his exercise is pro- longed by fifteen minutes, until at last he hos four hours daily, Whilst Corporal Jones lay in his chair, a Class 13 patient, he was taught reed -basketry. As a Class C patient, considerably hardened by ex- ercise, he joins a workshop class for an hour each day and learns wood- work. Ifo begins on , a tie and collar rack and then evolves a lamp -stand. Cabinet-making, art metal work, picture -frame making, illuminating, engraving and stencilling are the crafts first to be taught in this little Workshop, Telegraphy, stenography, typewrit. ing, mechanical and industrial draw- ing will 'follow. Horticulture, chicken raising, beekeeping are pursuits that will also figure in the vocational eur- riculunr, At the enol of six months, Corporal Jones has got a very fair grip on good health again. His weight hag increas- ed by 23 pounds; symptoms of shock have almost entirely disappeared; his twigs are heeled; pleuritic pains have gave, He has had no temperature and no cough for two months. But Dr, Byers decides that another six months in the mountains will make trebly unlikely the danger of a re- lapse at some future date. The richer by his full pay and al- lowances for six months, Cote:meal Jones is now discharged from the Army and re -admitted to the Inn for a further six months' treatment. At the end of that time he is given a pen- sion, the amount being according to his disability. By the aid of private citizens in every part of the country?
