So Many Wo- men Are Weak and :Run -Down. The world of the woman in the home makes greater demands on her vitali- ty than hien realize, and there is al ways something effete to do. 14o won- der women's 'backs ache, and their nerves are wore out. No wonder why they get depressed and irritable, suf- fer from headaches, and always feel out of. sorts. But of, course all women are not like that 'What is the differ- .

You can do it with: Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills have the' marvellous property of building up the blood and toning up the nerves. That is proved by the case -of Mrs. 11.

Chelsfield, a little town in the south- ern county, of Kent, came into the limelight recently when it became. known that Mr, and: Mrs. John Edward Taylor, the oldest married ,':couple in England, were living in a cottage in Greenstreet Green. John Taylor, who Is a cockney by birth, celebrated his 100th birthday recently, and his wife, "My : Sonny,; a Suffock woman from Thurston," geaehes kit.'• centenary in August. They are a healthy, happy couple, with no fade, though, John is rather more energetic than:Sophy. He is fond of a good losig walk, smoking,. and, to use his • own words, is "not afraid of a glass of good ale." John Taylor, .,who spent the first forty years of his life in London (he did not marry until he was nearly. forty), has some interesting things to say of the London of his boyhood. He left school before he was;'twelve, go- ing to work as a greengrocisr's boy. Incidentally, the green grocer sold oysters, as well as vegetables, large ones, at four cents for three! The London of 1830-40 was lit by smoky, smelly old lempa, the police- men, "peelers," as they were then called, after -Sir Robert Peel, wore top hats and white trousers, and watch- men stil cried' the time of night and the state of the weather. "At Camberwell (on. the outskirts of London) I've seen men in the stocks," Taylor said, "and jeered ,and hooted. with the rest. When King George's mother, then Princess Alexandra, came to ingland as a bride I walked' across London Bridge to see the 'pro- cession, and the lamps on both sides were burning sweet-smelling incense." Dancing and the theatre were Tay- lor's two great, joys in his youth. "I always was a rare one for dancing," he says, "and when .I was 'prenticed to the carpentering` trade all my spare money went on the play. The play has made me happier than anything else in life." This centenarian has seen every one of Shakespeare's plays, bu t he likes EASY ]-low Old Are 'You? This Is an easy' method of dis- covering ie covering ,the age of a friend. For this stunt, however, it Is necessary that your 'friend be older than, you. When you understand the trick you. will see that a few changes may be made in the method for use if your friend is younger than you. Subtract your own age from 99. Give thio number to your friend and ask him to add his ages to it. Ask him to take away tbe first figure of the total and' to add that figure to what remains and to give You the result. Immediately you will tell him his age. Alt that you have to do is to 'add your age to the number he gives you. For example: If you are 17 years old, subtract 17 from 99. That will give you 82. Your friend, who, is 20, adds 82 to 20. That will give him 102. Taking /away the first ' figure leaves 02. Adding 1 to that gives 03 or 3. This number he gives you. Add your age to it, 17 plus 3, and you will have 20. (C14p this. out and paste ft, with other of the series, in a scrapbook.) Only Rare Babies Born With Teeth. M.

Statistics from Ottawa show that in 1923 553,977 pounds more. Green Tea were brought into Canada than in 1921, and 906,728 pounds more than in 19.22.. The reason given :is that the fine quality Green Teas of India and Ceylon have displaced the inferior "This is a very rare occurrence, of t which only about fifty cases have been recorded in medical literature," a Lon- don physician told a Daily Mail repre- sentative. "It used to be regarded as a por- tent that the child would grow up with exceptional strength ormental ability. King Richard III., Louis XIV., the great philosopher Bigot, and Boyd the poet; were born with teeth; Louis XIV. had two teeth at birth."
