THE BEST MEDICINE SHE EVER USED, Some men are down and out and others are low down and in. Give to be happy—nothing _else mat- ters very much. Dr, Williams' Pink Pilin Highly Praised by a Quebec Lady. Mrs. David Logan, Thetford .Mines West, Que., gives unstinted praise to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for the good they have done in ler family. Mrs. Logan says:—'1I have beena user of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for many years, as occasion required, and have always found them a moat reliable medicine. My husband, who wasre- coveri;Ig from an attack of typhoid fever, and was in a very weak oondi- tiou, took the pills, and through them I gained health and strength.- My daughter was iu a `run-down condition, and was .forced to discontinue work.. Again Dr. •Williams' Pink Pills were resorted to and she was soon restored to excellent health. Then -my eldest boy had an operation performed for adenoids, which left his in a weak- ened condition. Once more Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills- were tried, and he was soon in excellent health. So I can truly say that more than satis- faction has been obtained by the use of this medicine. The pills have done more good in my house than hundreds of dollars worth of more expensive medicines." Dr: Williams' Pink Pills assist di- gestioil, correct the lassitude, the pal- pitation of the heart, shaky nerves. and the pallor of the face and lips that are the results of thin, impure blood. You can get these Pills from any medicine dealer, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

T THOUSANDS OF MOTHERS USE NO OTHER MEDICINE Ford's Other Industry Airmen Asking If Ford Plane Is to Follow New Model Car Washington. -The American avia- tion industry, as represented at the first general conference in session here under auspices of the Commerce Department, is asking whether a new' Ford airplane will follow the new Ford car, According to William B. Stout, gen- eral manager of the Stout Airplane Corporation, a subsidiary of the Ford Company, who was at the conference, the Ford airport at Detroit is second only in size to the great Tempelhof Field outside of Berlin, and proposals for the coming year will see it the. largest in the world. The Ford air= planes are all metal. Sofar the auto- mobile manufacturer bas not gone into airplane engine production, but is using Wright whirlwind motors in his 1O -passenger machines, making round trips daily, in good or bad weather, to put on regularity, relzabzl- years, it is not likely that anyone pliasi s is should hit upon anything entirely ty:and precision of performance. fresh, unless he is inspired to utter Those closest to Mr. Ford declare something either transcendently wise his whole purpose so far has been to or most abnormally foolish. carry out a first-hand test to satisfy Still, some writers have, or deserve himself of what modern aviation real- to have, a special 'reputation as Pick ly holds for'industry.

"I will not forecast what Mr. Ford will do in aviation," said Mr. Stout. "There is only one man who can ever speak for Mr. Ford's plans, and. that is Henry Ford himself." Mr. Stout, pilot of the Ford venture in the air, is a mechanical engineer who at one time was head 'ef the Packard Motor Company's aeronaut- ical branch. He believes the airplanes of the future' will be" all metal. His corporation joined the Ford group and manufacture has continAed on this basis. Mr. Stout founded Aerial Age, was chief engineer in designing a new car for the"Scripps-Booth Company, De- troit, and diversified his already corn - plea. eeperi.ences by, designing an all - metal torpedo airplane for the navy: He is the author, too, of a boy's book on inethanical models, and has been a technical adviser to the' Ajjrcraft Board, Washington. "Wheredoesn't Ford make his own airplane engines "' one of the men familiar with Mr. Ford's interest in aviation was recently asked at the aeronautical conference.

Shakespeare and Seneca Lastly, Galileo probably did not say, "And yet It moves"—iof the earth; but it does not diminish his achieve- ment that he was anticipated in his discovery by Aristarenus, and ac- cording to Theophrastus, by Plato in his old age. Leonardo, who antic!_ Wed most discoveries, wrote in large letters in his diary: "Il sole non si muove." Several famous sayings in our great poets, have been traced back to the Greek and Roman classics. Churton Collins collected along list of parallels between Shakespeare and Greek trag- edy. Either Shakespeare was better read than is usually supposed, or "great wits jump" With singular fre- quencyt. But this question cannot be `discussed without quoting the Greek texts. of those who have lived before them. In.
