Constantinople Poor After Kemal's Visit Constantinople.—With more than a million Turkish pounds spent in cele- brating the recent visit to Constantin- ople of, Mustapha Kemal Pasha, Pro- sident of the Turkish republic, the majority of the population of the metropolis is prepared to live for the rest of the summer on bread and cheese, flavored with gala memories of the spectacular and costly, show. The municipality drained its .trea- sury to such an extent that it has not yet been able to pay salaries or pen- sions for June, and those not depend- ent on the municipal budget are not much better off, as the greater part of thei rpersonal "luxury allowance" went into subscriptions collected for the celebration. The money was used for triumphal arches, Rags, pictures of the "ghazi," as wel las an $8,000 American-made automobile and a high powered motor boat, which were pre- sented to the President.

If you would regain your vigor and ambition, keep your blood and nerves in'good' condition. Anaemia, or thin blood lowers the vitality, starves the nerves and causes a general run-down condition. When the blood is thin the skin loses its color, the shoulders droop and weight is lost. The victim of \anaemia loses appetite, suffers from indigestion, headaches and sleep- lessness, and is nervous and exhaust- ed after slight exertion. If you have any of these symptoms do not delay but begin treatment now with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and you will be gratified with the prompt improve- ment in your condition.. Among the thousands who have found now health through the use of this medicine is Mrs. Herbert Nagle, Ludlow, N.B., who says: -"I had not been feeling well for some time and Was gradually growing weaker. I would take dizzy spells and often faint. I was subject to severe headaches and found it hard to do my work. I took doctor's medi cine for some time, but it did me no good, and I was still growing weaker. In this condition I ,began the 'use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and in a short time found they were helping me. I continued the use of the pills for a while longer, and found that the trouble that had bothered. me was gone and I was once more a well wo- man." • Get Dr Williams' Pink Pills at your druggist's or write The Dr. Willams' Medicine Co.; Brockville, Ont., and the pills will be sent post paid at 50 cents a box. ^alx Use Si x .SAWS and Machine Knives:;.

Lightning may be attracted by the aerial and travel- ing down this may not only demolish the set but destroy the house as well. But by the addition of a simple grounding device the lightning" will be deflected harmlessly into the earth. The Ontario Fire Marshal's Depart- ment advise keeping all aerials, if mounted on the reef, below • the term- inals of the regular lightning rod masts. It is better to place the aerial away from buildings altogether, using poles for this special purpose only. There should be a good sized, single pole knife switch between the aerial and the set. The middle of this switch is connected to the aerial and one end to the set and the other to the ground. When the set is not in use the aerial should be directly connected to the ground and there should always be a tag attaching to the set warning people against using the sante during an electrical storm. If lightning should strike the aerial it will then travel down the wire tlra knife switch and iota the through ground connection without going through the receiving apparatus.

Trust .Siknilcag to Rhodes Fo cation Formed in Britain London: A trust, resembling the famous Cecil Rhodos Foundation—let- volving less money but with a wider outlook, in that its scholarship will be held in ,American as wel las British universities -is created by the will of the late Dame Julia Lewisohn Henry, published to -day. She was the wida�` of Sir Charles Henry, Shropshire, . England, and a daughter of the late Undergo Chan Leonard Lewisohn of 'New York.' Her estate amounts to £245,000., The testament gives some £20,00f�. to charities and dependents, and leaves the whole residue in perpetuity to provide scholarships for British and American students. It will be known as the Charles anel, Julia Henry Fund. The trustees wilt be "12' competent persons" appointed in equal proportion by Oxford, Camp bridge, Harvard and ,Yale.

Some are Capable of Intel- ligent Conversation, Says Lecturer London.—We trust that before long trial by red hot Iron, boiling water, $ and mwaxi poison will be things of the past , This hope was expressed by W. F. P. Burton, a missionary, who lectured to the Royal Geographical Society on the march of civilization in Central Katanga, a strip of Darkest Africa lee ing to the north of Northern Rhode- sia. Since the days of ' the war this strange country, inhabited by the Bal- uba, a people endowed with intelli- gence and industry, and, in some parts, with cannibalistic habits, has developed svriftly with the advent -of the missionary and the trader. At present 1,000 natives are work- ing on tin. There is also coal, and"the men extract sufficient iron in some districts to make their own spears, hoes, axes and knives. Good Farmers.

Mr. Burton said that, 'while in 1914 ascarcely a native could read or write, thousands now possess both accom- plishments. Almost every chief now has his secretary. "Of the three secret societies," said Mr. Burton, "the Bakasandji are far the most sinister.

Such a course is almost certain to bring on indigestion and lay the foun- dation of much ill -health, for the lit- tle one. Other mothers administer harsh, nauseating purgatives which in real- ity irritate and injure the delicate stomach and bowels and at the same time cause the children to dread all medicine. Absolutely no meat should be given to a child until it reaches the age of 18 months, and then only if approved by the doctor. For medicine, all strong, disagreeable oils and powders should` be abandoned and Babys' Own Tablets given instead.. Baby's Own Tablets are especially made for little ones. They are pleas- ant to take and can be given with ab- soluto safety to even the new-born babe.
