He says:, 'I was not born to be a mon maker„ and my income would aroue derision in musical comedy circle but to Carry on'in this precarious pro deseton without a break for tweet years is something. to be grateful for.. There comes .a most aninteresting ecdote every now and then: How a Harrow, for instance, when a fatuou expert in swordsmanship came t show his skill, he offered• to cut an ap in half on• the head of any bo 'courageous enough to kneel befog The head boys looked at each othe tts. if saying, "Pray you go first," whe there was a scuffle and a rush fro Sphere the fourth form boys wer Seated, and before' you could sa "knife" •a yery small red -beaded bo, Blas, usurped the place. It was Win ston'Crurchill: Sir Nigel adds: "I never knew him at Harrow to `speak to, and I have only ;vet .bine Once since. "It was at a supper party, when I found myself eitting next to hint, and I mentioned that he and I were at Harrod together. "Now Mr. Churchill looks fully his age, whereas I have been taken to be younger than 1•am. Evidently he did not think so. He looked on me very critically and exclaimed: "Really, you must have been a good deal senior to me." After that all conversation between us completely lapsed. I remember Churchill as' a very plucky and energetic pugilist, with a most Pemarkable gift of learning Shakespeare by heart. I believe he won a special prise for being able to repeat an entire play, word for word, without making a single mistake. Another Harrow memory is this: "Btrt,the really briliant boy of my time so far as scholarship is concern ed was Amery (former Secretary of State for the .Colonies) whose future career proves, if it needs proving, that it is a fallacy to suppose that the bril- liant boy never turns into the brilliant ratan." I learned many odd things In "Ham- mersmith Hoy.' When Lady Playfair acted "a small' part and understudy" at the Garrick she received �6s a week! Sir Nigel once wrote theatre notes for the "Globe" for 32s a week! His underetucly afterwards became Sir Patrick Hastings!! The End of Entanglements J. L. Garvin. in the Loudon Observer (Ind.): (The French doctrine of se- curity and sanctions does not find fa- vor with the British people). Mem- bership of the League never was meant at the outset to lead into sup- plementary commitments,, weakening our power to preserve our own peace, and annulling the sovereignty of Par -I /lament in the most vital matter that can concern the .fortunes of a free people. What we have expressed in this 'statement is the decision of pub - Ho opinion. Itis unchangeable by any Government of by any party.

British advertising ex- perts, if their services were enlisted for the purpose, could do as well. We. are not yet making the fullest use of an instruiueut of conlmerce of which' We all recognize the supreme import- ance.

L OWES HER H'EALT'H TO PINK PILLS This Weak Anaemic Woman New Rejoices in Health and Strength. 1't is a scientific 'fact that nearly all the ilia that. afflict women are due• to poor,. thin blood. This anaemia is.the .nue cause of low spirits and languid- ness, the poor. appetite, breathlessness and aching backs, that make life a bur- den forB0 many women,•: Bntsttffer- ing women could banish all these miseries by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, for itis a knotvn fact that these pills create as abundance of new rich blood' -their wonderful reputation is based on that..

The Purging of London London 'Daily Chron1ele'(Lib.): Al- most a regular feature of the news about London during the last two years haw been the sudden departure of aliens ;from the West End at the request 'of the police. They have sometimes been preceded,- sometimes followed b7 the closing of restaurants. Occasionally there has been some r'e- ference to eight clubs. Simuitatreous- •ly thele has been. going 0n an unoffi- cial exodus. Aliens found.. out that the hand of the lave was' groping in their street and they went before: it clutched securely by the scruff of the neck. This purging of London is now inseparably associated with the nalne of Lord 'Byng.. . Everyone Who knows and loves the real London is grateful for tete change which. is be- ing wrought.... London can keep its glamor without being a meeting - Place for the sharks and panderers of Europe. • Religious Persecution in Russia Loudon Morning Post (Cons.): There Is ample evidence that the Soviet greatly valued diplomatic relations with Great Britain. They would sacri- fice ti great deal to maintain these re- lations, which are invaluable to them for the prestige and legality they con- fer on their disreputable system. If,. then, Mr, Henderson wete to make the continuance of these relations depend- ent on the cessation 'of the persecu- tions, he would be using a form of pressure which would probably be ef- fective with the Soviet. At any rate, It is au experiment worth malciug, and ire are certain that the British people would cheerfully face the risk of los- ing any benefit they may have gained from thee() relations—and so far we have seen none -fol' the chance of bringing succour to the persecuted Christians of Russia.

Why Leave it To Canada Loudon Daily Express (Ind. Cons.): Senator Logan has. proposed in •the Canadiau Senate that. all tropical pro- ducts of the British West Indies should .be admitted duty free into Can- ada. . These islands are immense- ly valuable. Lord Beaverbrook, in an Illustration put forward in support of Empire free Trade, has contrasted the flourishing condition of Porto Rico, which is in the American Union, with the backward state of Jamaica, which belongs to Cireat Britain, but is excluded front any fiscal union. , Porto Rico affords a market of about' wise mets. and kings by foolish wee £20,000,000 annually to American pro-, ducers, whereas Jamaica affords a £1 market of -only ,500,000 annually to British. producers. He has declared that Jamaica could be developed be Empire Free Trade until the market in that island is as great for British producers as Porto' Mico is for Ametf- can, If Great Britain declines to adopt. Empire Free Trade. with the West In- dian Colonels, let us hope that Can- ada wilt carry out her Logan scheine, for it far better that alto West In- dies should be incorporated with Can- ada than that they should continue in their present position.

Many relieve for the moment but they are habit form- ing and must be continued. Others contain calotnel and dangerous min- eral drugs, which retrain in the sys- tem, settle in the joints and cause aches and pains. Some are harsh purgatives which cramp and gripe and leave a depressed after effect. Avoid lubricating oils which only grease the intestines and encourage nature's machinery to become lazy.
