At no time in her life does a girl stand in greater need of pure, red blood and the strength which it alone can give her, than when she is developing into woman- hood. It is then that anaemia rapid- ly develops and the growing girl finds herself in declining health. If your daughter complains of feel- ing constantly tired, if her.appetite is fickle, if she is breathless from slight verruga, or if her heart pal- "Iiatates' violently on going upstairs, it is is certain sign that her blood i , i' s fa hug to meet the demands upon ;it; because it is thin and watery. ;;It is5,&;t, .such times that Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills for Pale People are worth their weight in gold to tired anaemic girls. They actually make the new, red blood, that brings brightness to the eye, the bloom of health to the cheeks, and strength and activity to the whole body. The following is an instance of their value to young girls : Miss Hilda Pearl Snowe, Barrington, N.S., gradually drooped under an attack of anaemia. At first she was pale and listless, suffering• from occasional headaches, but as the trouble progressed, a severe cough also attacked her, and her friends feared she was in the grip of consumption'. Almost from the outset she was being treated medi- cally, but with no apparent bene- fit. At a critical stage in her ill- ness Miss Snowe wisely decided that she would give Dr, Williams' Pink Pills a trial.. After taking them for, some time there was a noticeable improvement in her case, and the Pills were gladly con- tinued until she was fully restored to health. Miss Snowe is to -day as healthy and rugged as any girl could wish to be, and her friends believe that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills saved her life; ThesePills not only cure anaemia, but all troubles due to poor blood and weak nerves.

It ie easier for most of us to find ta•ult than it is 6;o, find favor, Never past up your friends in or F-cr to gratify strra,ilgets. At Balmoral, the beloved Highland home of Queen Victoria, the present King always enjoys seeing his tenant- ry and dependents happy, and en- courages the keeping up of all old Highland cnstoms, such as the torch- light dance of the keepers and ghillies, when the stags are brought home after a good day's stalking. Weirdly pic- turesque.' these dances are, held in. front of the Castle, with the hills and woods and figures of the men fitfully Iit up by the light of the blazing pine torches. When Royalty is in residence at Balmoral on Hallowe'en the old cus- toms pertaining to that day are al- ways fully carried out. Bonfires blaze on many of the hills, and' lighted torches are borne round the bounds of the various farms and homesteads to keep off the evil spirits supposed to be let loose on Hallowe'en. The effect is extremely pretty, when, from some elevated point of view, numbers of these torches can be see.. flitting about the valley, while the fires are burning on ' the heights. After these ancient ceremonies, a servants' ball is held, at which. the Royalties present mingle freely with their humble guests, and a substantial supper brings th,e fes- tivities toa close.

Prospority built upon artifloial inflation" is worse than precarious. Prosperity built on the development of productive enter- prises not only endures but provides the assurance of still greater development. That is the lesson which Sir George Paish las been impressing on the people of Can- ada when he said that Bridals money must be devoted to the encouragement of land settlement. • Agrioulture ie, and must be, the foundation on which the fabaic of the Dominion rests. No endeavor is too great which has for its object the profiao- tion of land production and. cheap and easy distribution. The simple fact is that Canadians have got to get down to hard Make. They have provided transportation machinery mueb in excess of their immediate requirements. What they have now to do le to increase the volume of legitimate business. No one who knows the natural resources of the Dominion doubts that this can be done to an extent far beyond existing limits But to do it moans much less of the para- sitical element in the community and many more real workers and producers. It means too that parliament and the legielaturas should oonoern themselves not so much with the game of politics as with the encouragement and expansion of pro- ductive effort. Comment on Events Dr, Friedmann Again. .A report codes from Germany to the effect that . the Friedmann treatnieat hits been placed at the diepoeal of the rnediof13 Profession and that as a result it has nowreceived, a now and more favors ]e ,1?ear- ing.

Qther testimony ie, that of Dr. Sinion 'Bernell of New York,}^who says that "G•ormarr physioiazts scene' tb have withdrawn their opposition," and acids that if Friedmann had not acted in so ecceiltrie a manner while in America he would have made a more favorable impression, This all eounds rather simi- ans since it was understood at the time that f n11 tests had been made of the Fried- mann remedy and that it was found to be. ineffective. In fact it was said to . be poeitively harmful. Now it seems ?ghat German physicians are amazed at the successful results of this same treat tent.. Was the investigation too conservatilf'e? . What Remains to be settled? Major Stewart L. Murray of the Gordon 13ighlandere and one of the best-kriown British authorities on the econonzfec4. of war asks the British public to realize for themselves the meaning of a conflict -with Germar• ,r. He says that even with the British fleet in command of the seas 'the price of food would bo • at the famine notch. These who could afford to pay that, pricewould get food and those who could not mord to pay that ,price would- got no - food. The latter class will include about 10,000,000 people, and they "will not starve quietly." Here aro ten million people who, according to Major Murray, will starve under even the most favorable conditions of war, and there are probably another ten million people in Germany who filen would starve; :au about a week. after .a declaration of: was. It seems that the drawing together of Germany and England is very necessary to the happi- neser.of both peoples. What remains to be settled? Is it on sea or on land? Is it a question of changing a policy? The interest of both peoples is towards peace —what then leads to -war? Is it such in- cidents as have occurred at Zabern which indicate the real policy of Germany? Temperature Ahead. We oloeed the year 1913 -with 500 degrees of temperature to pay back. That is, dur- ing the year the thermometer ehowed 600 degrees above the normal, Now, if it le paid back in January and February we will not have very much winter. But it will likely work the other way, and we. will probably pay for that, heat, and if we do before epring dawns we will have a oold time of it. Thus far there has been little demand either way, If the weather kind does not demand Ills 600 degrees of heat and replace it with the same amount of cold we shall fear there has been some cosmical commotion some- where—the eun has become sultry or the earth has twitched about .a little on its axis. But in the meantime we have been treated royally and have been favored with weather that has made the heart glad and the appetite leap for. joy. France Will Limit Saloons. Once again the opponents of alooholism in' France are making an effort to • re- strict the sale of spirits by placing a limit' on the number of saloons. For years bills have been introduced regu- larly into the Senate, passed and sent dpven to the Chamber of Deputiesa. But in the latter body ho vested intereate have always been able to muster a majority, which hie promptly shelved the measure, with the result that saloons have Increas- ed at an alarming rate.. c At the present time there 'hi no effective way of limiting the number of saloons. According to the most reliable figures there are now about 460,000 mach places in Franca This work! out as one for every 82 inhabitants, equivalent to one for every 26 adults. In Germany there is only one public house for every .246 inhabit- ants, one for every 360 in the Vttlted States, one for every 430 in England, while in Norway 9,000 people on an average have to depend upon every saloon.; • In Karla alone there aro 33000 'establishments whore spirite are scold for consumption on the premises, or one fors every 34 yards. In the department' of Seine' Inferieure there is one saloon for every- 20 adults, and in 'the Eure ono for every -three or four, The present bill, which hasn't Much ohanoo of passing the Chamber, opposed as it is by Deputy Berry, who sue.oessfnliy led the opposition to last year's measure, provides that henceforth the number of saloons shall bo limited to one for every 200 inhabitants. No fresh licensee aro to be issued until the number of saloons falls to this average. Existing interests are not to be disturbed, but" are to become extinct upon the death of the holders.

The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brookville, Ont. FAMILIAR PHRASES. Terms of Speech the Meaning of Which Has Passed. "He's a brick," is an everyday ex- pression, but it is not generally known that it was coined 'by Lycurgus, the great Spartan lawgiver, 2,800 years ago. When Lycurgus was asked if it would not be advisable to build a brick wall around Sparta, he replied that the city already had a wall of men and every man was a brick. Flow many collectors know the ori- gin of the word "dun"? Early in the 12th century an English constable, John Dun, became celebrated as a first-class collector of bad debts. Sub- sequently a persistent following up of debtors became known as "dunning." "Take him down a peg" is a famil- iar expression which dates back to the day of the great Saxon primate, St. Dunstan, To put a stop to hard drinking and brawling, he made a law regulating a man's drinks by means of pegs in the•ale tankards. The peg being adjustable. It was so placed as to regulate the size of the drink. When a man began, to get too lively or pugnacious, the peg was lowered in his mug. From this grew the ex- pression "taking him down a peg." Everybody has heard or used the familiar expression: "Tell that to the marines," but how many know it was first popularized by Lord Byron? In his poem, "The Island," the following lines appear: But whatsoever betide, ah, Neuhal now Unman me not; the hour will not allow -- A tear: I'm thine whatever inter- venes, "Right," quoth Red, "that will do for the marines," 'P FRIENDLY TIP. Restored Hope and Cottfdence. After several years of indigestion and its attendant 'evil influence on the mind, it' is not very surprising that one finally loses faith in things generally, An Eastern woman writes an in- teresting letter. She says: "Three years ago I suffered from an attack of peritonit which left me in nr most miserable condition. For over two. years I sufftted from pervousnees• weak heart, shortness of .breath, could not sleep, etc. "My appetite was ravenous but I felt starved all tb", time. I had plenty of food but it did not seem to help. I got discouraged, stopped medicine and did not care much whether I lived or died. "One day a friend asked me why I didn't try Grape -Nuts food, stop drinking coffee and use Postum. I had lost faith in everything, but to please m3' friend I began to use both, and soon became very fond of them. "It wasn't very long before I got some strength, felt a decided change in my system, hope sprang up in my heart and slowly but surely I got better.

Speaking from a text of interest to all women—"How to keep young"—a lady writer on matters of feminine ...interest said :—"Given a woman of ordinary healthy habits who is not over-worked, the first thing' to be considered is her sleep. She should take at least eight hours' rest. Women may accus- to'm themselves to less, but it means a loss of vital force in the long run. Many women take an early morning cup of tea—a pernicious habit. In fact, the less tea or coffee a woman takes the better for her health and good looks. Comfort in dress is another important point. Tight clothing—whether in gloves, boots or corsets—should be avoided. Any annoyance or discomfort in a wo- man's clothing soon makes its im- press on the countenance, and means a tax on the nerves as well. As to her daily fare, it need not be luxurious, but it can be wholesome and sufficient. But ample rest is the chief thing, for it is that which conserves the vital forces."
