Aching back, tired limbs, at-' tacks of faintness, splitting headaches need not be a part of a woman's life. Such trials indicate • plainly that ;the blood is thin and watery and that the euffere¢• needs, the help of a real tonic such as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Suf- fering women who have used this meiiicine speak of it In the highest terms. Among •those who have been thus helped Ls Mrs, Ma L. Harman, Virden, Man., who writes:—"Follow- ing the birth of a still -horn child a few years ago, I had a very serious time. I was so weak for months that I, could not walk *across the room without a feeling of faintness. I bad scarcely strength enough to standup, and when dressing would have to sit down two ,or three times. My face and lips were • color+leas, I had no appetite, and life did not seem worth living.. A friend urged. rile to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I got six boxes. Before they were all gone I felt improved. My appetite was returning, color was com- ing, into my face, and I was visibly stronger. I continued taking the pills and rutty regained my former good health. I consider Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a blessing to weak women, and - hope my experience will induce some other sufferer to try them." • You can get these pills from any medicine dealer; or by nail at 50 cents a box direct from The Dr. Williams, Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. When in Doubt. "What does one..do when all the rest is taken away from one, when life has grown trivial, stunted, and narrow?" This question is asked by a character in "Wages of Sin," by Lucas'Malet. The answer given is: "After a time one lights a candle called Patience and guides one's footsteps by that." Amid dreary days that is a splendid light to have, fox it will shine when every other light is extinguished. It is our highest wisdom to have that lamp always clean and burning. Many a dark path and obscure turning will be revealed by Patience. When we are in a corner or hemmed In by all manner of obstacles, we need Hope as well as Patience. To lose hope when everything seemsagainst us is to be in the slough of despair. Patience may become exhausted. It May be tried to its last .stand; but Hope need never burn out. Sometimes it may flicker and splutter and tiro low for a moment, but Faith relights it. If Faith Love would do the re- lighting. Look back ever your past and you will discover that we are always being helped in this way. When strength is failing,' Patience, Hope, .Faith, or Love coshes . along and woos us back to EX -PRESIDENT OPENS COURSE Ohief Justice W. H. Taft, ex -President of the United -States, replying to the speech of welcome at the opening of the new 6,000 -yard championship golf course at the Manoir Richelieu, Murray Bay, Quebec, just prior to teeing off with a 170 -yard drive. • Mr. Taft complimented W. H. Coverdale, President of the Canada Steamship Lines, Limited, .on his Compan9's enterprise in creating one of the finest golf courses in Eastern Canada, Set among some of the finest scenery in that part of the -Dominion. • Play Safe. "Bet your life I don't," said the chatty drummer to the other man in the smoker. "I was in Windsor when they had that last dose of smallpox and I don't allow any child of mine to go to school until he le vaccinated. I say if a scratch on the arm will pre- vent a fellow getting that, why I'm for it. The day 1 arrived, another chap and myself bumped up against a man who was just coming down with it. When. I found out about it I was a bit upset and figured that I was about ten years old when I was last vaccinated; the chap with me hadn't been done at all because his father didn't believe in it. I escaped just with the old scar. He came down about a week later and had a hard time to come through. That's enough for me—vaccination's all right. "We commercial men—and of course it's just the same thing with my wife and kiddies, too, when they go away from home—can't afford 'to take a chance. I think any man is mighty foolish who walks into danger which will mean being sick for six or eight weeks' worry and anxiety, to say noth- ing of doctor bills, hospitals and nurses; so that's why I take a shot of typhoid vaccine every 2 years They talk of the soldiers not getting typhoid during the war .,(and it is true, of course), but I'm judging from my own experience. Sometimes on the road I have had to drink milk and water in places which were proved later to be real nests of typhoid and I haven't had 6: The First "Vaccinators` 'Although vaccination is indissolubly linked with the name of Jenner, there is ample evidence that it was practised by''farmere .and, others in the rural districts of England long' before hie day.

Japanese look upon a garden asa pie'ture, beautifully • designed and framed, much as the Occidental looks wen a painting. Professor Takutna Tonto; landscape architect of Waseta University, Japan, told Seattle ou a lecture tour of the United States, -''Q,ur Japanese gardens are entirely different from gardens in any other part of the world," Mr. Toe said. "In ,all Western nations the garden is 'con- sidered a collection of rare and beauti- ful plants, flowers, shrubs and trees; rather than the picture for which the Japanese strive, Japanese gardens are mere "naturalistic than architectural." Poems That Aren't True. How many who have recited "The Wreck of the Hesperus," possibly the best-known ballad in aur -literature,• know that the famous ship, instead of being loot with all hands, actually re- turned to pont with no more serious damage than a broken bowsprit? Maritime i`ecords for the year 1839 record a great storm on December) 160, when, among twenty other ves- sels, the Hesperus was driven into Bos- ton harbour. so it is difficult to adcouret for Longfel'low's entry in hisdiary two days later: "News of shipwrecks. Horrible. Off the coast. Twenty bodies washed ashore off Gloucester, one • female tie- ing lashed to a piece of wreck."- He then mentions details regarding the Hesperus•, and concludes: "I must write a ballad upon this." A couple of weeks Pater he makes this entry. "I have broken ground la a new field, namely, ballade, beginning with 'The Wreck of the. Hesperus' on. the reef of Norman's Woe, in the great storm a fortnight ago. I shall sena it to some newspaper. I have a great notion of working upon the•people's• feelings." An almost equally 'famous poem is Charles Kingsley'•s "Three Fishers." The story so geaphically told was the result of a fit of low spirits on the part of a tired parson. - Kingsley was very keen on social re- form and was regarded in his day as rather a dangerous type of clerical Socialis't".

There may have been such a boy, but seeing that he perished with his father it is difficult to say who told the sstory, and it is certain that the poetess draws very largely on her sere timental imagination. One of the nioet flagrant cases of a poet letting imagination ignore facts is furnished by Oliver Goldsmith, whose "Deserted Village" is one of the most beautiful poems in the language. The poet anticipated criticism in his dedication of .the poem to Sir Joshua Reynolds: "I know you will object, sad indeed seyeral of our best and wisest friends concur in. the opinion, that the depopulation ft deplores is nowhere to be seers and the disorders, it laments are only to be found in the poet's imagination." , Stories About W ell -Known People have a work to do, and we'are related Quiet Heroism. to a "Divinity that shapes our ends, General Sir George Higginson, who roughhew them how we may." celebrated his ninetyninth birthday re - So, trust the Star of the Morning, cently, was once the hero of an nci- for as certailas night follows the cl : y dent which secs11 'xs famousmous episode in that star will guide you through la. the life of Lord Beaconsfield. ,tienCe and hope to victory and joy, Graphlte in Greenland, The world's richest deposits of graphite, sufficient for large scale min- ing for ten years, were recently dis- covered in Greenland, The General was taking his wife, who was. just recovering from a severe lilnees, to Bournemouth, At Win- ohester he called a porter and gave him some order.

Iodine exists in sea water only to the extent of about two parts .per million, yet the entire ocean oontain•s some 60,000,000,000 tons of iodine, valued at present prices at $540,000,000,000,000. Bromine is also obtained in a limited way from the mother liquor left after the crystallization of salt from sea water. A gallon of sea water contains ap- proximately a quarter of a pound of salt, and since the average density of rock salt is 2.24 times that of water, the entire ocean, if dried up, Would yield approximately four and a half cilbic miles of salt.
