Thus writes Mrs. Louie Mitchell, Oak'Poiiit, Man., who further says:—"About a year ago I was a weak woman, sufferingfrom a run down .System and inipoverished blood. Any little exertion would cause my legs to tremble and niy heart to throb violently, I could not sweep a won). or walk fifty feet without being ex- hausted. Then I began taking Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills and aftertaking only six boxes I am as well •an.d_strong as ever. I can walk and run without stop- ping every few seconds gasping for breath as previously. Dr: Wllliame' Pink • Pills will be my stand-by in the future if ever my blood needs building up again, and I shall always find plea- sure in recommending them to°'anyone needing a tonic. There are many troubles due to weak, watery blood which can• easily be overcome by a fair use of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. The sole mission of this, nlegicine is to enrich and purify the' blood, and when that is done all the varied symptoms of anaemia dis- appear, and good health returns.

How sugar forms in the beetroo sugar cane or maple treeahas long bee a mystery. It is known that suilligh is necessary to enable plants to con vert the gases of the atmosphere int starch and sugar, and recent success fill experiments by Professor Baly, Liverpool, who has produced suga artificially, are likely to open the w to important developments. Some tithe ago he noticed that if th strong light from an electric lamp such as is used in cinema studios, wa allowed to fall upon a stream of car bonic acid gas a certain amount of well-known disinfectant gas was pro duced which turned into sugar whe dissolved in wtaer. The quantity of sugar 'formed in the way was very small, and it was found that the violet rays given off by th lamp containedlight of differing wave lengths, some of which assisted whil others interfered, with the formatio of the sugar, Addition of ordinar powdered chalk to the water however neutralized. "this action -and produced more sugar." ` . • Experiments were now conducted onl•a larger scaea in -a rectangular' glas tank fifteen inches square and eigh inches deep, with . small holes in each. side. Having. f And that theimitatio sunlight gave the disinfectant gas, Pro lessor Baly omitted this step' and fills the tank with a solution of the gas in water. In the middle' of the tank an electrically driven fan was fitted so that the powdered chalk, which was then added, was stirred •vigorously. Lamps were inserted into each of the holes in the fank and light allowed to play on the solution. After fourteen days' continuous ex- posure to the. artificial sunlight a yield of 8 per cent. of sugar was obtained, and after the liquid had been purified and concentrated, a very sweet syrup was left. • Although the process is expensive, it is expected that it will be cheapened In the near future, so. that the produc- e tion of artificial sugar.in this way will become a valuable commercial proposi- tion. t, n t 0 of r ay e s a n s e e n y $ t n d Why the Oceania Blue. That the sea should be colored 'blue on neaps seems obvious. It is claim- ed, however, that the convention is not a hundred years old. Messrs. W. and A. K. Johnston, the Edinburgh . niapniakers, are oelegrat- ing their centenary, and one of the original partners, Keith Johnston, is said to be the man who first made water blue in our atlases. This grand old firm was founded on Christmas Day, 1825, by William Johnston, a lad. of twenty-three, IIe started business as an ordinary print- er,' rinter,' lent in 1830, in the course of a walk- ing tour in the„West Highlands, the in- aecura0ies in the maps then available suggested the idea of producing better maps himself; and map production, therefore, became the main concern of the firm. This William Johnston became Lord Provost of Edinburgh, and, as holder of that high office, w saknighted by Queen Victoria in Holyrood Palace about•the middle of last century.

Often it is neces- sary to give the little one something to break up a cold, allay fever, correct sour stomach and banish the irrita- bility that accompanies the cutting of teeth. Experienced mothers keep Baby's Own Tablets on hand for such purposes and young mothers can feel safe with a box of the Tablets ready for emergencies. The. ,Tablets. are .a mild but' thorough laxative that act without griping and they are guaran-' teed to be absolutely free from opiates is or other harmful drugs.

The practice of the Association in holding conventions in different parts of the country has proved of immense value.

The happy event took place on lie Cruiser I}anae, while she was open for public inspection at Auckland, New Zealand. In commemoration of her birthplace the baby is being called Danae, and as a memento the ship's officers have presented the new -comer. with a beautifully -bound edition of the "Legend of Ranee," together with a gold brooch bearing a reproduction of the ship's coat of arms. A year or so ago a baby was born in a London Tube train. A reminder of. the event is incorporated inthe baby's ,Christian names -Thelma Ursula Beat; rice Eleanor, the initials of which. make "Tube." Many babies are born at sea, but it is. doubtful if any entered such a troublous world as a German baby girl born in -mid-Atlantic during a recent terrible storm. Steerage babies often provide an event for passengers to talk about, A subscription list is al- ways opened, with the eesult that the baby receives a substantial start -off in life. Th.e record in strange birthday sur- roundings is surely held by the baby boy who was born 6,600ft. up in the air. His mother was travelling by aero- plane from Budapest to Naples when the event took place. G HEALTH EDUCATION BY DR. J. J. MIDDLSETON Provincial Board of Health, Ontario.

My little house has a winding stair, Where the sunbeams dance and, play; My little house has a little clock To tell the time o' day. 1 Its windows, curtained blue, are wide To the song of wind and sea; There's a garden,too, with a gate of green, And a blossoming almond tree. My little house bolds treasures rare Of ivory, Jade, and gold; Of gleaming crystal and shining brass And china, fragile, old. My little house is a world apart, So cool and still it seems; 1No troubling thing Comes uigh, but then -- 'Tis only a -house of dreams! . For Every ill—Minard's Liniment. Not Sufficiently Persistent.

The man who feels certain of success, and labors to that end, is sel. dom mistaken. The path of success is the path of common sense. Notwithstanding all that is said about "lucky hits," the best kind of success in every man's life is not that which comes by acci- dent. The only "good time coming" we are justified in hoping for is that which we are capable of making for ourselves•. Happy is the man who believes in his fellow, for it is more blessed to be deceived in some things than to be sus- ..picious in all things. A cheery disposition is like air in a tyre. There doesn't seem to be much of it, but it makes the going easier and happier for everybody. The rougher the road the more you need it. Try becoming dissatisfied with your- self instead of with your job. The worst brakes on your progress are self -applied. Few men travel over the road of suc- cess without an occasional puncture. The wolf at the door has started many a man climbing. A wise man will make °more oppor- tunities than he finds. Possessions are all right if you don't let them possess you.. To escape criticism, do nothing, say' nothing, be nothing. Candles as Clocks. The first time -recorder was the sun- dial, The Chaldeans and Egyptians had a water clock called a clepsydra. A stream of water dripped into a jar and on reaching a certain level moved what to -day would be called a ball- • clock, This worked a rod along. Plato introduced the clepsydra, or water clock, into Greece, and it is sup- posed that this method of time mea- surement was used in the Middle East even before that time (400-500 B.C.). A specimen of the -clepsydra can be seen at the British Museum. Sand -glasses, known to the present generation as egg -boilers, were invent- ed about A.D. 330 by a monk of Chart- res named Luitprand, and according to a French prescription the sand was,. black marble dust, ground fine and boiled in wine, the processes of grind- ing and boiling being repeated nine times. Alfred the Great (871-901) util- ized wax candles for recording time. Marks were placed one inch apart, each section burning for twenty min- utes. Butter From Fish. The Indians of British Columbia and Alaska obtain their butter supply from a fat little fish called the oolichan. Every aumxuer this fish comes up the rivers from the ocean to spawn; and millions are caught in nets daily. They are then thrown into rough tubs, made from tree -logs, in which they lie exposed to the sun. When thoroughly softened they are taken from the tubs and thrown into great wooden vats of water, which has been heated by dropping red-hot stones into it. •As the oil from the fish rises to ,the top; it is skimmed off. It hardens 'tlulekly, looks like lard, and tastes like Ritter. The Indians usually make eiibugh of this butter during the sum finer to last throughout the winter. A Grave Injustice. "I don't see why jokes about our race being so close are continually be- ing published," remarked a young Scotchman, "We are not close, just thrifty." "I think it's a shame, myself," agreed the Irishman with whom he was walk- ing. They proceeded in silence until they drew near a tobacco shop. "Come in and have a cigar," invited the Irish- man. They stepped inside. The Irishman put his hand in his pocket, then with- drew it with an exclamation. "By gor•- ry," said he, "I left my money at home." "Well, the day is young," comment- ed the Seat, "1 don't mind walking back to get it," Not His Fault if There Was. A tramp had been admitted to the casual ward of an English g workhouse late one evening, and the following morning he duly appeared before the master. "Have you taken a bath this morn ing?" was the first question he was asked, "No, sir," auswered the man in as- tonishment, "is there one missing?" The "High -Sign.'' A Chinese grocer in the old Mexican quarter of Tucson, Arizona, had this mystifying card 011 some fruit: "No Sell for 5 Cents Too High," If you give up, It means this: Owing to the high price, the Chinaman re- fused to sell as small a lot as Se worth, Keep MVMiiiard's Liniment in the House, Chering. You cheer the man who's gained the height! But can't you spare a word for him Who upward struggles through the night, When light of stars is dim? You praise the hero of good deeds— The one who's played a noble part! That other man, half -vanquished, needs Encourgaement of heart.
