Several notable records have been set by wpman fliers.

Although there are no women 'flying air mail planes, there are nine women members of the National Mr Mail Pilots' Association. These are the conclusions the A.A.A. reaches in its study. "A number of large airplane com- panies employ saleswomen who com- pare more than favorably with sales- men," says the A.A.A. • "Moreover, they are fully as adept at talking re- volutions per minute and horsepower as salesmen. They sell planes ac- cessories and •instruments, and flying courses with ease and efficiency. "Women as aviation executives are no longer a novelty. Foremost among the women holding important posi- tions in the aviation field is Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, former Assistant ' Attorney -General, who is now counselor and attorney for the Aviation Corporation, with offices in Washington.... .: "Another important' executive post is held by Miss Amelia Earhart, that of vice-president of the New York - Washington ,Airways which on Aug. 15 will open service between the two cities, especially inviting the patron- age of women.

Minard'S Liniment for Neuralgia. 34,902 Take Air Tests in Year Washington -- Examinations for pilots' licenses by the aeronautics branch of the U.S.' Department of Commerce during the fiscal year end- ed June 30, 1930, increased 54 per cent. over those of the, •.fiscal: year 1929, according to Clarence M. Young, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for aeronautics. The total for the last year, 43,902, is more than the combined figure of all the years since the organization of the branch in 4926, Mr. Young re- ported, since up to the beginning of the year just ended, the total num- ber of examinations stood at 37,447. The examinations are divided into three groups; those for transport and limited •commercial pilots, for indus- trial pilots, and for private pilots, ac- cording to the report. Of the total made last year, 25,041 were of indi- viduals taking their first examina- tions for pilots' licenses, including both students and trained pilots, The number of pilots and students re- examined for the same grade of license which they held prior to the time of examination totaled 12,402. Guard Baby's Health in the Summer The summer months are the most dangerous to children. The complaints of that season, which are cholera in- fantum, colic, diarrhoea and dysentery, come on so quickly that often a little one is beyond aid before the mother realizes he is ill. The mother must be on her guard to prevent these troubles, or if they do come on suddenly to ban- ieh them. No other medicine is of such aid to mothers during hot weath- er as Baby's Own Tablets. They re- gulate the stomach and bowels and are absolutely safe. Sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box ten ; The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. What Ice to Use in Drinks One very often hears stories about the relative purity of artificial ice when compared with natural ice. One also hears youngsters proclaiming that the white areas in artifliclal ice are impurities, or that artificial ice has an ammonia odor about it. Ordin- arily, artificial Ice is much better than natural ice for use in cooling drinks. While ice is generally Crack- ed up and dropped into the liquid to be cooled, the practice is not to be generally recommended. This is not because the manufactured ice is impure when made, but because while it is being handled, delivered or other- wise carried, it Is subject to 'contact with heeds not altogether, clean. Yea' have often . watohed foe cakes slip from ,grasp and fail into • unclean places from which the . cakes were recovered, and 'then placed in your refrigerator without even an attempt at removal of the dirt. In this re- spect, the ice made by your artificial, refrigerator Is far superior to mance- factured ice, the water for which • may be even filtered four or five times. Homemade ice •Is not sub- 1 Jed to much 'handling. What to Do if You Find Your- self in This Condition. The sort of thing that specialists call nervous debility is the run-down condition caused by over -work and household worries. The sufferers find themselves tired, low-spirited and un- able to keep their mind on anything. Any sudden noise startles and sets the heart palpitating violently. They can- not sleep well at night; their hands tremble and legs seem unable to sup- port them. Such a condition is indeed pitiable. Doctoring the nerves with sedatives is a terrible mistake. The only real nerve tonic is a supply of good red blood. Therefore the treatment for ner- vousness and run-down health is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which promptly build up and enrich the blood.' The revived appetite, the strengthened nerves, improved spirits and new strength which come after a course of these pills will.delight every sufferer. You can get these pills from any medicine, dealer or. by.xnail.at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. "Gassier makes mountains out of molehills." "Yes.

ED ROSE TEA, 111111111111) 104 Every 24 Hours 60 Babies Die Free Literature Offered in Effort to Lessen This Drain The iollowing has been prepared by the Child Hygiene Section, Canadian Counc4 of Child Welfare. When we read of thirty babies dy- ing in twelve hours, we aro forced to think, "Why cannot something be done?" When we realize,. that not only thirty babies died, -hut that every twelve hours during 1928, Canada lost thirty infants under one year of age, a total of 21,195 lives, we ask our- selves, "Why did they die? Could they have been saved?" Some of the chief causes of these deaths, according to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, are: Premature Births and Injuries at Birth -5,586; Diarrhoea, Dysentery and Diseases of the Stomach -4,144; Congenital Mal- formations and Disabilities -3,634; )3ronchitis and Pneumonia -2,334; and other Communicable Diseases - 1,459. Lack of knowledge, or ignorance, definitely contributed to the death of 50 per cent. of these children; this ignorance was evidenced by the lack of antenatal service, lack of satisfac- tory meclican and nursing care at the time of, and following birth, and by artificial feeding, etc. In co-operation with the Federal and Provincial Departments of Health, the Canadian Council on Child Welfa.a is making an effort to try to reduce this tremendous loss of life in Canada.
