These pills banish all the. ailments arising iFrom poor blood, tone up the sys- tem and make weak men and wo- men well and strong. Miss Eliza- beth Campbell, Almonte, Ont., says: "I was living in Pembroke at the time my health failed me• T kept growing weaker every day until I at last grew se weak I could not walk up stairs without help, and I could not go down street 'without sitting down and resting. My mother got quite anxious about me .and took meto a doctor who said he was quite sure he 'could restore my health. 'He gave me a little bottle of medicine, and I continued its use until I had taken four bottlesbut instead of I getting stronger was growing weaker all the time, and was only .a mere shadow of my former self. My parents believed I was in a de- cline and could not get better. My mother had heard so much about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that she decided I ought to try them. I ,did not notice much change until I had taken five or six boxes, when .e decided improvement set in, and from that.on I grew stronger and stronger each day, until through a continued use of the pills I was back to my old-time health and strength. I believe Dr. Williams' Pink Pills the best remedy on earth for sick people, and cannot too strongly urge other weak gieris to give them a trial."

(By Investor.) • When one buys au investment, strictly speaking, one looks merely at the rate of income. Prospect of appreciation, wen Present to a high degree, usually indi- cates danger, perhaps remote—in the ex, tent of realisation not measuring up to anticipation—of severe loss from a drop in value. Au investment should be free from any such danger. As a rule, really high-class investments altogether fail to take into consideration prospect of an- preciatiou, and. of course, as the better class of municipal bonds are strictly "gilt-edged" investments, the question of appreciation is one very remote from the thoughts of the average investor who buys this class of security. To be sure, they are by no means as rigid in value as real estate mortgages, but they are not likely to any extent to appreciate in market price. In the first place, they are usually sold on the basis of their "yield." One buys City of Toronto 4 per cent. bonds to yield 3.95 per cent., and then by the aid of tables which every bond dealer has—and most bond buyers— the price is worked out afterwards. As was pointed out in au early article to this series, "yield'. represents the taking into consideration, in the return on the investments, the gain—where the bonds are sold below par or the loss where a price greater than par is paid—resulting from the purchase at 95, say, and the at of the bondspar. eredemption ultimat At the risk of .being tiresome, it may be pointed out shortly that when purchas- ing a bond due a year hence at 99, the purchaser receives 100 at the end of'•the. Year_. ilio thus inak{s 1 per :cent on his purchase. ` I1 the bund . pays 4 per cent. the "yield'' on the investment is net 4.00 divided by 99 or 4.04 per cent., as in the ease of a stock which is never redeemed, but 400 divided by 99 + 1, or 5.04 per cent. So that the prospect of appreciation In purchasing a bond at 95 due to its re- demption at par is duly taken care of in the 'yield." On the other hand, the growth of a city whose bonds formerly sold on a 5 per cent. basis may make these bonds appreciate so in value that a 41-2 per cent basis is the proper price, and in that way an investor may make through appreciation. But as a rule, however, this element is one that has a decidedly unprominent place in the handling of munic:na.l bonds. The question of conver,, ..:lits into cash, however, is very different. The great safety of municipal bonds make them so desirable as security for loans that bank- ers will loan on them at a rate from one- half to 1 per cent., lower than they loan on security of shares of stock in'a sound company, and at the same time require only about one-fourth the margin. So that the investor in munitt pal bonds has always available a security which his banker would be glad to .accept as se- curity for a loan at around 95 per cent, of its value at a rate but little over the rate of interest which the bond pays. Furthermore, practically all bond deal- ers are glad to repurchase municipal bonds at about half a point below their market value, and so the marketability of this class of investment is very high. The only question left, then, is that of stability of market price, This point is easily determined. These bonds do not depend for their security on general business conditions, as do those of most industrial companies,1 and are, as a rule, affected only by the loaning value of money. As this alters but little in Canada it has little influence on these bonds. Then, too, except for a few largo issues sold in Landon, there is no open market for municipal bonds. But they are being bought and sold daily by deal- ers trained in estimating their values and so, although there aro no quoted pt•ice,3 for these securities, there aro no fluctuations in their prices as there are often in the ease of unlisted shares at different times. As a rale, therefore, these bonds do not alter materially in value, and certainly are not subject to violent fluctuations. dust at the present time an investor could probably sell mu- nieipal bonds bought '."earlier in the year for a better price than he paid," owing to the groat seareity of this elass of sects, ity when. compared to the. demand, For example, during the past week the sales of municipals.

As this has been going on for several months now, the dealers are growing pretty short of bonds, and so there is a ready market at good prices for those of clients who wish to convert them into cash. To recapitulate we have decided in these articles on municipal bonds that as a class, Their safety is great, both as re. gards principal and interest. Their rate of income is low for the most part, but high as compared with other forms of investment iu other countries of equal security. They are readily convertible into cash. They have little prospect of apprecia- tion in value, but are not like mort- gages in this respect, which have ab- solutely none.

Soule Strange Crifts Which Have Brought Grief to the Recitpients. To a man with a total ineohe of less than ten dollars .a week, the gift of a fine house with four acres of gardens is surely a white, ele- phant of the most pallid descrip- tion, says London Answers. The residence in question . was given to a London clerk by a:fond aunt, and the result of his endeav- ors to live there and keep the place up was his appearance, not very long ago, at the Central Criminal Court on a eharge of falsification of his employer's books and the em- bezzlement of twelve hundred pounds. The case recalls the plight of the young London grocer who, in September, 1908,, won the first'` prize offered by the National: As- sociation of Grocers. Tne prize was a shop, fully stocked, and fit- ted up to the value of $2,300. Out of this total the extravagant sum. of $1,500 was `spent in fittings and in- cidentals, leaving only $800 for tile purchase of stock -in -trade. Against that, the winner had to place $700 for expenses incurred in the inter,- val between giving up his old work and entering on the new. Thus he had only $100 for buying stook. He. struggled on for two years, and then was forced to give up. WITH UNHAPPY RESULTS. A curious .and tragic story was told in the Battersea Coroner's court during the inquest on Mrs. Annie Hearn, who died from the effects of taking poison. The owner o the house in which she and he husband had lived for many year left a proviso in his will to the ef feet that the couple should be al lowed to live on in their rooms rent free, for the remainder o their lives.
