She was attending a commercial school, and between her close study and exceptionally hot weather she be- I came very much run down. I noticed that she looked white and seelned con- stantly tired, was depressed over tier, studies, and irritable and peevish about the house. I' got several tonics' I had heard' well spoken of, but they did .not seem' to help her. At this stage an advertisement , of Dr, , Wil- liams' Pink Pills,. telling• of a similar . case, was brought to my attention, and' I decided to give this medicine atrial. You may judge of my surprise and de- light when I noticed an improvement in her condition, almost before the first box was finished. She continued 'tailing Dr: Williams' Pink Pills for some time; gaiiiing in health and strength. Her headaches, .backaches and depression disappeared, and she again looked well•and happy. She has since, I am glad to say, kept perfectly v ell and• passed herr examinations with credit. "I must have worried more than I knew over my daughter's, health, for though I have earned my living as a maternity nurse for the past -12 years, even the most trying cases did not seem to exhaust me until last fall, when I seemed to give out suddenly. I became so nervous that I had to de- cline work; and I' suffered from head- aches and a constant ,feeling of de- pression.' I attributed my condition to the fact that I was entering a critical time of life: It was my daughter who suggested', that ' Dr. Williams' Pink Piils'`might do rue' as muchgoodas they had done her, and after a faithful use of them for a time this proved to be the' case. •My nerves regained their steadiness, and my general health im- proved so much that I felt able to un- dertake ' my nursing • duties again. I. have. taken the,pills occasionally since, and thanks to them have been able to stand the strain of my work splendidly • and still feel as well as ever. I am very grateful to Dr.. Williams' Pink Pills and" amthankful to have found such a reliable medicine for use in my hone,, and.1 can -, conscientiously re- commend it to any suffering woman or girl coming under my care or In- fluence.'" You can get 'these pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50c a box from, The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Nothing New.

Source—An occupation,- • •• Roper is a common name hi this country. But few persons, perhaps, realize that ' it is exactly the same name as that 'born by the Charlotte Corday of historical fame. •• Like Coppola Tupper and other fam- ily names of similar elassification, it took its origin in the description of the orginal bearers' profession, In- England of the Middle Ages the use of the termination "er," a relic of the ancieet,Teutonie "were," meaning "man," was much more prolifically used than it is to -day.. The man who inade an article, or who worked with an article, was described quite regular- ly by the addition of "er" to that •ar- tiele. Soy where we would speak to- day of a ropemaker the medieval Eng- lish called him a "roper," or a "cord- er" if they used the Norman-French word, though sometimes he was also known as a-"cordwainer." As the French- language developed on the continent the tendency was to insert an "i" before this termination "er," thus giving the form, "cordier," And, in time, as the pronunciation of the final "er" changed in French from what it remains in English to -day" to "ay," the name came to be pronounced "cordiay." The. family name of Cor- day, then, is simply explained ,asan occasional local variation of "simpli- fied" pronunciation and spelling. • Good -Bye to Oxfordshire.

Singing is one of the best preven- tives of a cold. -The common cold, as most people are aware, is an inflammatory condi- tion of the lining of the upper respria- tory passages•. Though disease germs are probably always the cause, the way for these is opened by the inhala- tion of irritant particles of dust and cold air. - Singing, besides giving' proper con- trol of the breathing, teaches us to ex- pand our lungs fully, thus providing valuable and healthy •exercise for the whole respiratory machine. It incul- cates the habit of breathing rhythmi- cally through the nose, and so ensures. thorough warming and filtering of the 'air before it reaches the respiratory passages. By teaching us to breathe properly and by producing in us a sense of joy and well-being, singing tends to in- crease one resistance against infec- tions of all kinds. It promotes the di- gestion and assimilation of our food,. and thus builds up . substantial re- serves.. Singing is, above all, the language of the emotions, and is probably far older than articulate language. It thus provides us with the means of reliev- ing our feelings, and the consequent effect on our health is astounding. Lastly, by calling up the nobler and pleasanter emotions, it tends to drive away care andanxiety, y, which owing to the subtle bio -chemical changes they cause in our blood, render us more likely to catch cold. -'Marconi, the inventor,says that he has perfected a method by which Ile can send radio messages as a beans, projected in any desired direction.
