Along An Italian
Path
The pleasantest and shortest road
to the railway is by Porta Eburnea. 1
started one clay from this gate with
a friend, by a steep path which leaves
the road just outside the Porta, and
curves along the side of the hill below
the old wall. The bank, this fine morn-
ing, was gay with butterflies and wild
Sowers, and wreathed with a luxur!-
ant growth of gild gourd, full of pale
blossoms and small furry fruit; all
was so wild, it seemed impossible we
had only just left a busy city behind
us.
At the turn of the path we came
into a delightful lane, between bram-
ble -covered banks; on one side was
the dry bed ofl alittle rill, and over-
head branches of quaint trees met
each other. From the Italian custom
of constantly stripping the leaves to
provide fodder, the foliage was scanty,
yet we went down t:.e steep path in
cool and checkered shadow; lizards,
darting across the way before us,
gleamed as they passed in and out of
the light.
This practice of stripping leaves
'from the trees as fodder gives a quaint
appearance to many of them; in this
lane the gnarled and twisted branches
looked grotesque. A man high. up in
one of the trees sang as gaily as a
bird, while he filled with leaves a sack
fastened to one of the branches.
Now and again the rich transparent
purple of the shadows was traversed.
by a bar of golden light; this some-
times came in irregular flecks from
spaces between the twisted trunks
and crossing branches.
A woman coming up from the sta-
tion, with a heavy basket on her
head, said, "Buon Giorno," and smiled
pleasantly as she passed; then a coun-
tryman, a fine, handsome fellow with
glowing black eyes, wished us a good
journey. .de was going at such a pace

New Liver Extract
Found For Anaemics
Rochester, N.X.—A new form of
liver extract which relieves secondary
anaemia in dogs has been developed
at the University of Rochester School
of Medicine.
Secondary anaemia is a common
human affliction. Its cause differs
radically from that of pernicious
anaemia, but it is usually accom-
panied by great physical weakness or
mental lassitude. e°
The Rochester discovery does much
toward settling a dispute whether
liver feeding is useful in this more
common but - less fatal form of
anaemia, as it is in the pernicious
variety.
The extract was developed by Dr.
G. H. Whipple, dean of the Medical
School: F. S. Robscheit-Robbins, and
G. B. Walden.
This latest liver extract is a light-
colored powder. It is prepared as fol-
lows:

New "Talkie" Stars
LONDON.—The adoption of "talk-
ies" by three widely different institu-
tions—the London School of Oriental
Studies, the Zoological Gardens, and
a big cooperative store—has em-
phasized the important role- that
sound films are playing in daily life
apart from their exhibition in pi:-
ture theatres,
The first;slangua'ge.aiy,5truction film,
showing the secrets of English- speech
and the' difficulties which hinder
foreigners from mastering it, was
prepared by Mr. Lloyd James, lec-
turer in Oriental studies.
Jungle sounds, the click of the Kaf-
fir, the lisp of the Indian,. illustrate
the basic of speech as it affects the
English language. A committee of
language teachers and expert phone-
ticians are examining the possibilities
of its further
plication.

At London's Zoo in Regent Park,
talkies of the animals are proving a
popular . innovation. Many people
found that they could• not manage to
see everything in elle clay's visit, and
the problem was, "Should the hippos or
the hyenas. be left oiit?" Now they can
plan their program tq, include ev.ry-
thing—some in real"life and the rest
on the screen.
Often the animals are mare amus-
ing as caught by a patient camera
man with unlimited time at his dis-
posal than they are when surrounded
by a crowd of admirers expecting
them to perform for the company.
Finally a theater to accommodate
300 people has been included in the

IT is not necessary to give -in
to headaches. It is just a bit old-
fashioned f
ld-fashioned) The modern woman who
feels a headache coming on at any
time, takes some tablets of Aspirin
and heads it off.
Keep Aspirin handy, and keep
your engagements. Headaches, sys-
temic pains, conte at inconvenient
times. So do colds. You can end
them before they're fairly started if
you'll only remember this handy,
harmless form of relief. Carry it in
your purse and insure your comfort
'While shopping; your evening's
pleasure at the theatre. Those little
nagging aches that bring a case of
"nerves", by day are ended in a
jiffy. Pains that once kept people •
home are forgotten half an hour
after taking Aspirin! You'll find
these tablets always help. In every
package of Aspirin tablets are
proven directions which cover colds,
headaches, sore. throat, toothache,
neuralgia, neuritis, sciatica, and even
rheumatism.
The tablets' stamped Bayer won't
fail you, and can't harm you. They
don't depress the heart. They don't
upset the stomach. So take them
whenever you need them, and take
enough to enol the pain. Aspirin is
'lade in Canada.
