its variations and compounds.

The forest has been brushed back
as if with a huge comb. A cottage
nestles snugly in the midst of vines;
while the surrounding land has been
gently tilled and covered with an
ennerald sward. The little gray chim-
ney is a pedestal for the almost mo-
tionless' vapor that hovers above it.
This is the modest home of a modern.

PEOPLE WHO NEED
HEALTH BUILDING
Should Enrich Their Blood by
Using` Dr. Williams'
Pinlr Pills.
There are conditions of health in
which. no particular organ appears to
be at fault, yet the patient.is miser-
able and unable to pursue the activi-
ties of daily life with vigor and en-
joyment. The' remedy needed is ` a
medicine that will benefit the whole
system rather than a part. The blood
reaches every part of the body and
an improvement in its quality is quicll-
ly followed by an improvement in the
whole system. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
make a prompt and visible improve-
ment in the blood, and bring new
health and st•ength to airing people.
The value of -Dr. Williams' Pink Bilis
in cases of this kind is proved by the
foiiewleg statement: Mrs. W. F. Nash,
R. R. No. 1, Bellamy, Ont., writing on
behalf of her husband says: "For the
past two . summers my husband has.
taken Dr. Williams' Pink Pills with
much success. He was in a weak con-
dition, did not sleep well at night, tired
all the time, with poor appetite. The
result was he got very` thin. He 'de-
cided to try Dr. Williams' Pink PiI4s
and by the time he had taken three
boxes he was feeling and Iooking so
much better that it was- very notice-
able that the pills were all they. were
recommended to be. We feel very
grateful and advise the use of the pills
in all cases of; weakness,"
These pills may be had from all
dealers in medicine, or by mail, post
paid, at 50c a box from The Dr, Wil-
liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

The Gospel of Comfort.
The sources of joy are many. They
are rooted in all of our five senses, and
ministered to by countless obeots of
beauty and harmony- in the world'
without. For them the seven colors of
the spectrum blend .and change in
never ending variation: For them the
seven notes of the octave find expres-
sion in untutored nature and in the
gifts of skilled musicians. Sight and
sound and touch and taste and per-
fume' all open gateways to the home
of joy within the mind of man.
But the sources of comfort are few.
There -are not many ways in which
consolation makes its approach to
human life, And all men need com-
fort.. Bright as is -the world, the very
shlning' of its sun produces shadows,
and the stalk that bears rases gives
bleeding Jinglers to him who plucks
them. He who never needs comfort
must die young. No 'life oontinues long
without• an experience of sorrow.
And when sorrow comes, then comes
also the discovery that, while the
sources,' of comfort are not many, they
are adequate and precious.
First Is the comfort of happy mem-
ory. No grief or misfortune can take
aw=ay the Joys that have entered per-
manently into our character.
Then, in time of need, is found the
comfort of work, and of the friendship
that remains•. There is always some
one still who needs us and whom we
need. Whatever our lo•sses, we have
never yet lost all.
1 Then we discover the .comfort of
syn ity, It has been said a thous-
and;; or perhaps a million, times that
"mere words' cannot assuage grief,
and every time it is said untruthfully.
Words that are fitly spoken, out of a
sincere heart and a kindred experi-
enoe, are among the most precious, as
they are among the most costly, of all
comfort.
"The word we had not sense to speak,
Who knows how grandly it had rung?"
But,the basis of all abiding comfort
is faith in a loving and fatherly God.
For this" there can be no substitute,
and nothing can take away the
strength which it gives. "Lorca, show
us the Father, and 1t suffice& us,"
said the disciples in the hour of their
bewilderment and grief. Faith in a
loving God, the God of all comfort, is
the basis of all reasonable consolation.
And the world needs it all the time.
The Ground of Certainty. '
It is told of .one. in .ancient days that

.KEEP LITTLE ONES
WELL IN WINTER
By Regulating the Stomach and
Bowels With Baby's Own
Tablets.
• Winter is a dangerous season for
the little ones. The days are change-
able—one bright, the next cold and
;stormy; that the mother is afraid to
take the children out for the fresh
air and exercise they need so much.
In consequence they are often cooped
up in overheated, badly ventilated
rooms and are soon seized with colds
or grippe, What is needed to keep
the little ones well is Baby's Own
Tablets. They will regulate the
stomach and bowels and drive out
colds, and through their use the baby
will be able to get over the winter
season in perfect safety.
In using Baby's Own Tablets the
mother has an absolute guarantee that
She is giving her precious little ones
something that is absolutely safe and
something that cannot possibly do
harm to even the newborn babe as the
Tablets contain not one particle of
opiates or other dangerous drug. They
are sold by medicine dealers or at 25
