juries, while they have :put the worth
of a faithless wife at as much as £10,-

THE BEST MEDICINE JAPAN NOT SO GOOOD,

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Highly
Praised by a Quebec Lady.
Mrs. David Logan, Thetford Mines

Dr.. Williams' Pink Pills for the good
they have dons in her family. Mrs.
Logan says:—"I have been a user of
Dr. Williams' Piok Pills for many
years, as occasion required, and have
always found Lhem a Most reiiablei
medicine. My husband, who was re-
! coverin from, an attack of typhoid
fever, aurid was .in a very weak condi-
i tion, tools the pills, and through them
gained health and strength. My daugh-
ter was in a rundown condition, and
was forced to dlscontinue work.

resorted to and she was soon restored
Lo excellent health. Then my eldest
boy had an operation performed for
adenoids, which Jett him in" a weak-
ened condition. One& more Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills were tried, and he
was soon in exeeltent health. So I
can truly say that more than satistac-
tion has been obtained by the uee of
this medicine. The pills have done
more good In my home than hundreds
of dollars worth of more expensive
medicines."

THE LITTLE ONES
Mother's, do you think it fair to tor-
ture your little onee by forcing them
to tale i11 -tasting oils when they need
a laxative medicine? Don't you find
that the child's dread of these medi-
cines often do more harm' than good?
Baby's Own Tablets are the modern
substitute for these nauseous doses.
They are the very medicine the child
requires and are so pleasant to take
that they are as easy to administer as
a gloss of -water. They are the per-
fect remedy for all the -minor ailments
of little ones, being absolutely .guar-
anteed from ,injurious drugs.
• Baby's Own Tablets accomplish all
that castor oil and other bad -tasting
remedies can do. In fact they accom-
plish more as they do not leave the
child exhausted from its struggle
against taking. medicine. They relieve
teething pains, banish indigestion and
constipation, break up eolds and sim-
ple fevers and promote healthful, re-
freshing sleep. They are sold by medi-
cine dealers or by mail at 26 cents a
box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine

Halifax, N:S.—Thirty-five thousand
passengers were landed in Halifax
front transa't'lantic liners during -what
is termed "the winter port" season, or
those months, December, Jsutuary,
February, March and• part of April,
when. the St. Lewreaco ports being
closed shits are diverted to Halifax.
The very great majority of this num-
ber was composed of immigrants, or
settlers. It is the largest passenger
traffic through the port since pre-war
cbsytis, with exception, of course, of the
war and demobilization traffic, which
reached abnormal heights under ab-
normal conditions.
The Canadian National Railway
handled the entire traffic out of the
port to western pointe, dispatching as
many as 10 special trains ovssr a week-
end, and cutting down• the time be-
t-veen Halifax and Montreal to 24
hours. The number of immigrants.

MUST STAY DRY
Man Can't Keep "Crock" in
Office.
"Oen a man keep a 'crock' In his
office ,and drink with his friends
there?"
This was the query put to Hon. Dr,
R. J. Manion, one of the members of
the liquor control board, in the ab-
sence of Chairman D. B. Hanna, and
it related to the proper and legal
procedure under the new government
sale law.
"A man's office is not his reei-
dence," replied Dr. MVlanion- "He is
not entitled to have liquor there"
"Not even to have an occasional
drink?"
"I would say it would be outside
the laws' was the commissioner's
view. Ile thought it would be better
not to have office drinking.
I -Low "Briefs" Were Named.
Laymen have often wondered why
in the legal profession briefs are so
meted, when as a rule owing to the
more or less elaborate legal phrase-
ology, they are anything but brief. A
lawyer explains that this name was
given because such deeuments "are
supposed to cover the neces::wry sub-
ject'natter in as briet a space as pos-
sible." It is also pointed out that
many rot the "wh,ereese!s," the "afore-
saids" and the "to wits" are really
essential.
Although the uninitiated may still
flounder in the mazes of law technical-
ities, modern briefs are very much mess
encumbered with cerbiage than were
the briefs of earlier days. Tho modern.
tendency is to simplify.
Writing long legal documeats used
to be profitable, because, tobe,eln with,

were paid by the word. An amusing,
