This time of trial, with its attacks of .faintness and fit, of depression, its often violent headaches and back pains Is rightly dreaded by women; but if reasonable steps are taken to safeguard the health, no serious i11-effectswill arise. At this turning point in life Dr. Wil- nams' Pink Pills have given a helping band to thousands of suffering women who were fighting a hopeless battle against poor health and waning strength. The very best help for any woman of middle age is the health help given by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills reinforce the blood supply, en- riching and purifying it. In doing this they nourish the starved and over- taxed nerves and give new strength and vitality to the whole system. By this natural process Dr Williams' Pink Pills completely dispel all pains and weakness, and a better, happier condition of health and spirits arises. Every woman of middle age should take advantage now of the wonder- ful health -help of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They are sold by all medicine dealers or will be sent by mail at 50 cents a box, by The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

The '�-finned also to serve as Project at Ymuiden Will Give Amsterdam a North Sea Outlet by Next August German Ports Watched Nearly Eight Million Cubic Feet of Concrete , Used Holland is engaged on two pieces of. engineering, each of its kind the greatest in the world. One; is the re- clamation of the Zuider Zee and the other, the new lock at Ymuiden, Am- sterdam's outlet to the North Sea, is nearing completion and will, it is hoped, be wholly finished by August of next year, writes a correspondent of The London Times. • While Rotterdam keeps a -jealous eye on Antwerp, Amsterdam watches in particular the German ports, and it is well for Holland that the vigilance does not slacken.. The two cities are,. indeed, the two great arteries of Dutch economic and commercial life. New industries—electric supply, artificial silk, coal (for coal mining can be classed as new far Holland)—aro forg- ing ahead, but, after agriculture, the backbone of Dutch trade is still ship- ping. Holland is one of the great car- riers of the world, of which her colon- ies are no unimportant part; her area of distribution includes the great hin- terland of the Rhine and the Meuse, and, as English shipowners have found of recent years, her share of the export trade of Eurcpe has steadily become greater and greater. PORTS IMPROVED. To retain and, if possible, to enlarge her share, Holland is determined that her ports shall be kept abreast of the times and be able to accommodate ships of greater size if the movement New Zealand Goes in for Rabbits iia rabbits made a twelve thousand mile hundred of these chinch 1. One journey under the auspices of the Canadian Pacific Express Company from Lincolnshire, England, to Auckland, New Zealand, where they will form the nucleus of a rabbit farm. The express messengers disbursed one ton of feed to them during the voyage.' gan in 1919 and concreting in 1923. Foundations -and subterranean water are a difficulty in most Dutch build- ing, and Ymuiden has been no excep- tion. The sandy soil and the great depth of the lock made it necessary to incase the whole pit in steel sheets, reaching to an impermeable layer of clay 125 feet below sea level. The lock itself is of reinforced concrete and is being constructed in three parts, of which one, the eastern entrance, with much of the lock chamber, is already finished. Nearly 8,000,000 cubic feet of reinforced concrete and 15,600 piles will go to the making.

Baby's Own Tablets Are the Ideal Remedy for Babies and Young Children Canadian mothers are noted for the care they give their little ones—the health of the baby is most jealously guarded and the another is always on the lookout for a remedy which is efficient and at the same time abso- lutely safe. Thousands of mothers have found such a remedy in Baby's Own Tablets and many of them use nothing else for the ailments of their little ones. Among them is Mrs. Howard King, of Truro, N.S., who says:—"I can strongly recommend Baby's Own Talets to mothers of young children as I know of nothing to equal them for little ones." Baby's Own Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 faction in America and elsewhere. "The business of farming as distinct from the industry of farming is in a state of chaos," said Sir Horace. "The majority of farmers in this country buy everything they require in their industry at retail prices, sell every- thing they produce at wholesale prices, and borrow money en terms wholly unsuitable to the agricultural indus- try. The great mistake that farmers make is that they have not learned the meaning of modern conditions of coni- bination. They are individuals strug- gling against highly organized condi- tions." The farmers' plight may also be partly ascribed to the fact that while the slow processes of nature refuse to be hurried, man's inventive genius has made the industrial life 'of the city mare agreeable than they were, con- tinued the speaker. Ile poked some good-natured fun at certain -so-called advances which are much heralded. "I hear a great deal about nitrogen from the air," he said,' "about synthetic food and similar stunts.

At the end of the main channel is the original Ymuiden lock, which was opened with the canal in 1876. Before twenty years had passed the lock had become insufficient for the traffic passing through it, and in 1896 a new and greater lock, 738 feet long, 82 feet wide, and 33 feet 'deep, was built by its side. This, again, soon proved inadequate, and in 1911 a commission recommended the con- struction of a new lock 1,180 feet by 131 feet by 46 feet. EXCEEDS SUEZ IN SIZE. Partly because of the war it was not until 1917 that the act sanctioning the new work was passed, and by that time it was decided still further to in- crease the dimensions to 1,312 feet by 164 feet by 49 feet. (For convenience all measurements have been converted in this article from meters to feet. The figures are exact to the nearest whole number.) This is the scale on which the lock is being completed—a scale which will make Ymuiden lock the largest in the world, greater than the lock of the Panama Canal (1,000 feet by 110 feet by 43 feet) or of the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal (1,083 feet by 148 feet by 46 feet). The North Sea anaI will be dredged out provision - eventual depth will `be 49 feet. The ocean, which, only obedient to God, deepening to 41 feet will give the canal a cross-section of approximately, 14,- 000 4;000 square feet, which will make it ;larger than the Suez and about as large as the Panama. Land has also 'been acquired for its widening. The new excavation at Ymuiden be - filled separately with water or emptied by compressed air. For normal work- ing the air chamber will be partly fill- ed with water, and the weight of the gate on the runners will be about 120 THAT "STAYS DOWW' Baby's tiny system rebels against castor oil and strong purgatives; but here's a medicine that just suits him.

Canadian manufacturing activity has been at a much higher level in 1928 than during 1927, and 1927 was a year of record-breaking activity.

Saving Giant Tortoise From Utter Extinction A very short time ago it seemed likely that when the giant Galapagos tortoises at the London Zoo had lived out their long, slow lives there would be no more of them to be seen. Our grandchildren or great-grandchildren would know them only from photo- graphs., Like many of the other strange creatures of the globe, they were beiug extinguished by folly, or greed or carelessness. The Galapagos tor- toises are found only on the islands near the Equator, which bear their name, and 60 years ago they were innumerable. In later days whaling ships carried them off far food by the thousand, and left behind to legacy of dogs, pigs, cats and rats, which car- ried on the work of extermination by destroying the eggs. When Dr. Townsend, of the New York Zoological Society, went to the Galapagos islands a year ago, be found that the tortoises had gone from all buta few islands, and there they had taken to the mountains. The Galapagos tortoise is not of the build for 'a nounta,in climber, and this generation of his family would have been the last hacl not Dr. Town- send captured 180 of t'em and trans- ported them in safet;• to places in South and Central America, where they can live protected lives.
