ON THE MARKET 11 British Women Doctors Serve In Colonies The total number of women stu- dents in the universities fell from 12,- 062 2;062 in the session 1923-24 to 12,899 In 1928-29 and the number of women en- trants from 3,849 to 3,704, says the London correspondent of The Ameri- can Medical Association. "At the same time the total number of students increased in the five years under review from 53,025 to 44,309, but the former figure included 1,742 ex -service men taking university anuses under the government scheme," he continues. "High hopes were formed about openings for wo- men during .the war, which have not been fulfilled in the difficult period that followed, and the resulting disap- pointment must have been an import- ant factor in the decrease. The medi- cal profession is a case in point, for the number of women students of medicine and dentistry fell from 2,595 In 1921-22 to 2,020 in 1923-24 and to 1,108 In 1928-29. It is also likely, how- ever, that the general economic de- pression has borne mare heavily on the girls than on the boys. In families short of means to send children to the universities there would'be a prefer- ence given to boys. "On the other hand, with regard to the special case of th3 medical pro- fession, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, .Lord Passfield, declared at the colonial conference now sitting: "We are bringing in the women. Fif- teen years ago you could count the number of women physicians in the colonial services on the fingers of one hand. Now there are over sixty,and the old idea that a woman had no place in such rough and tumble con- ditions of service as the Crown. colon- ies must be given up. There is noth- ing that women cannot do nowadays, and I look to see the number of wo- inen physicians steadily increased, not that they may oust the male physi- cians, but in order that they may give BLACKHEADS Get two ounces of peroxine powder from your druggist, Sprinkle on a hot, wet cloth and rub the face briskly.

Royal Winter Fair "We are featuring 'Provincial Days' at the Royal Winter Fair," said the President, Alfred Rogers, in an inter- view, "because it has always been telt that one of the purposes of the Fair in addition to promoting the more immediate 'needs of Canadian agricul- ture, is to contribute to the develop- ment of national unity. This year we feel sure from the letters and re- cords that the Royal will be a con- crete expression of the optimism of all who believe in the basic soundness of economic conditions in Canada. The first day has been designated for this especial purpose of the Royal program, 'Canadian Day'. On that day the broad national aspects of Canadian agriculture are brought out and its uniting effect in a national sense are seen more plainly. We are dedicating the succead:ng days to each of the provinces, combining the three Maritime provinces into one. This year the order will be:— Caualian Day Wednesday, Novem- ber 19th, British Columbia—Thursday, Nov. 20th. Maritime Day—Friday, November 21st. Quebec 22nd, Alberta 24th. Manitoba Day—Tuesday, November 25th. Saskatchewan Day—Wednesday, No- vember 26th. Ontario Day—Thursday, November 27th. "Oa each day we hope to have the Minister of Agriculture of each pro- 'vince or his representative, and we shall make that particular province as prominent as possible through parades of livestock in the arena and in many other ways. "In the past this has created an atmosphere that has tended to intensi- fy general interest in these provinces and their resources. In this way visitors to the Royal find a means under one roof of comparing the ex- hibits of widely separated districts of Canada and of contrasting them with others, while at the same time sens- ing the link of unit that in abroad way runs through our Canadian life." "We attach much importance to the place the "Provincial Days' take in the Royal plans". Mr. Rogers added "they have, we think, an important influence which elevates our agricul- tural industry and give it added digni- ty in the eyes of the men and women who live by It". An amateur angler, who was not up to the tricks of the game, had been whipping the water without success for an hour or so, when the inspector marched up. "Are you aware," said the newcomer, menacinTly, "that this is preserved water?" "is it?" said the angler. "I thought there was some- thing funny about it." Day—Saturday, November Day—Monday, November When You OVER— INDULGE EVERY man, woman and child will occasionally overindulge. But don't suffer for your indiscretions. It's folly to do so when you can so easily sweeten and settle a sour, upset stomach with a little Philips' Milk of Magnesia. Hearty eaters have long since learned the quick comfort this per- fect anti -acid brings. Smokers know bow it neutralizes nicotine; brings back a sweet taste; guards the breath, Women know what it does for nausea --or sick headache, And when children have over -eaten -- are bilious, constipated or otherwise upset --give them a little of the same, pleasant -tasting and milky white Philips' Milk of Magnesia. You'll be through with crude methods once you learn the perfect way. Nothing else has the same quick, gentle effect. Doctors pre- scribe it for indigestion, nausea, heartburn, gas, sour stomach and headache. It has been standard with them for over 50 years. Insist on genuine Phil'ca' Milk of Magnesia; a less perfect product may not act the same, The genuine is always a liquid --never in tablet form ---and the name Phillips' is always on bottle and wrapper. Wins Trip Prize British Expedition Will. Attempt l anehenjunga Climb Delhi, India, --A British expedition is being organized to attempt the ascent of Mount Kamet, 25,431 feet and will start next August, it was an. pounced recently. Mount Kamet, which lies within the borders of the United Provinces, is the second high- est mountain, in the British Empire and has never been scaled. The expedition is being organized, by Frank S. Smythe, whose descrip, tons of the recent Kanehenjunga ex, pedition were: published, with Prof, Gunther Dyhrenfurths, an associate in that expedition. It is proposed that the Mount Katnet' expedition be lim- ited to four or five persons, a sugges- tion made in the light of the exper- ience of the Kanchenjunga adventure. It is also probable the expedition will include only members of the Alpine Club and the Himalaya Crib, Wood Johnson, who played a heroic role in the, Kanehenjunga expedition, will join the new party.if•possible. It is planned to compass the climb be- tween the end of August and the mid- dle of October neyt year. Carlsbad Cavern Bats The bats which live and hibernate in one .end of Carlsbad Caverns, esti- mated at 3,000,000, have not',een giv- irig their usual spectacular flights recently, according to the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Two reasors are advanced for this. One is that the extremely dry weather of the past season has c.iused a scarcity of night fleing in- sects, the other is that they have been disturbed by work going on in a near- by guano mine. Occasionally, how- ever, they stream forth in great num- bers, their flight from the cave open- ing lasting for sevaral hours. An,in- teresting feature of the bat exodus is that although they always fly south when they emerge from the cavern they invariably return next morning from the north. Miss Gladys L. Powell, of Winnipeg, passenger on a recent trip aboard Canadian Pacific liner •Duchess of Richmond to Montreal, had a brilliant idea for the Masquerade which fea-j tared the entertainment of travellers I on the voyage. She went as a "C.P.R. advertisement" and when you.look at the above photograph you will not be surprised to learn that she was award- ed the prize for "the most original costume." Booklets, labels, badges, mottoes and C.P.R. designs make up a beautiful and effective ensemble. A Simple Treatment for Children's Colds Cold in the head is very common at this time of year, especially in the very young. Neglect of a cold is prone to lead to serious consequences. To relieve all congestion of the sys- tem is the first step in treating'a cold, whether fn infants or adults. For the very young, Baby's Own Tablets are the ideal means of doing this. Con- taining no narcotic or other harmful drugs they soothe the child's fretful- ness, relieve its suffering and ensure convalescence. Baby's Own Tablets are without an equal for relieving indigestion, con- stipation and colic. They check diar- rhoea; break up colds and simple fevers; promote health -giving sleep and make the dreaded teething period easy.

Waren of the State College of Agriculture finds in the accounts of 514 farms. Figuring the $62 worth of milk as double that cost at retail, he suggested more e than should use it hefariger s that t the' average. of seven -tenths of a quart per person. daily. Only about a fourth of the families made their own butter, and each of these used about three pounds a week. Poultry furnished $80 worth of food a year, each family lasing six eggs daily and three pounds of chicken weekly. Twothirds of the families Lad home-grown pork, using about a pound a day, or $39 worth in a year. Besides garden vegetables and honey, the typical family used thirty- seven bushels of potatoes and fourteen of apples and burned twenty-one cords of wood. But only seven of the 514 farmers took wheat to the mill and brought home flour as their grand. fathers did. Danger from Colds Every woman beyond middle age should realize that a majority of the troubles she has to fear have their origin in what are known as common colds. Each attack lowers her vitality and reduces resistance to disease. At this season of the year every woman should see that her blood is toned up to meet the rigors of the climate and especially that strength should be re- stored after any cold, however slight. For this Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a reliable tonic. These Pills are not a mere stimu- lant giving temporary relief.

Their enthusiastic friends and rela- tives had treated them to a more than rousing send-off. Shoes, rice, and con- fetti had descended in showers. Passers-by grinned that "just married" grin as they drove through the streets. "Well, • that's all over, dear," said. the bridegroom, soothing his tremb- ling bride, "nothing more to worry about now." Suddenly the cab pulled up with a jerk. The driver alighted and poked his head through the cab window. "Horse thrown a shoe," he explain- ed. The young bride clutched at her husband's arm. "Oh, George!" she cried. "Is it pos- sible that even the horse knows that we are newly married!" • A New Party?
