The lack . of enificient red, health- giving blood does not end merely in pale faces and luetreless eyes. It is much more serious. Bloodless people are the tired, l'ang'uid; run-down folk who have no enjoyment in life. They have heart palpitation, headaches and backaches, no ,: appetiite, 'sometinlea fainting spell% and always nervous- ness. Just a little more rich, red blood and these troubles vanish. To get this new, rich, red blood Dr. Williams' Pink Pills arejust the thing you need. That is why these pills have a world-wide reputation as a blood and nerve tonic. .Among those who ` have proved the truth of 'these statements is Miss Annie M. Blonski, Woodbridge, Man., who says:—"I became very weak and nervous, had pains in my side and back and suffered from frequent sick 'headaches. I was hardly able to do anything about the house and would awake with a start at night, with my heart pounding -violently. If I walked upstairs I would be breathless and my heart would flutter. rapidly. I used doctor's medicine but it did not do me any permanent good. Then I was ad-' "vireo to take Dr. William's' Pink Pills and decided 'to try them, and I can only say that 'they' did wonders for me. I am now well and strong again and able to do all my work, and this is all due to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I have recommended the pills to others who have taken them with equally good results." You can get the pills from your druggist, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The I*. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Dentists for Trees. One of the latest applications of engineering to the preservation cf old, diseased, or damaged trees is the science of tree surgery. There are now a number of professional tree doctors. Perhaps the most curious part of the business is what may be called tree dentistry. This applies to the filling of old cavities and the covering of the wounds caused by a crack or the com- mon Operation of "bracing" a tree with iron bands. A tree that has any part of its in- terior exposed to the atnksophere is in the same situation as a tooth having a hole through which impurities can penetrate to the soft living tissue and cause decay. In the case of the tooth the remedy lies in excluding agents of decay by means of an appropriate fill- ing; with the tree, the tree surgeon fills all covities. that constitute ex- posures—with sposures-with concrete! The tree surgeon further Imitates the dentist in ridding the cavity of all decayed matter before he puts in his plug. He cuts back until he comes to live, healthy tissue. An antiseptic dressing is applied, and then the tree dentist puts in ht's cement. ' In large cavities the concrete is in- serted in sections to ensure an elas- ticity that will permit the tree to sway naturally: These slight breaks also prevent too great a stress being set up, as this mig'h't cause the whole limb to -snap in a severe gale. When the filling is properly done, the tree shows a tendency to spread across the joint between wood and concrete, and gradually cover the space•with bark. In cases where the cavity is small, it is not unusual for the surrounding bark to grow all over the filled space. So, in tree surgery, concrete takes the place of vulcanite or other material for fillings, and iron rods and cables represent the gold bands sometimes used in human den- tistry. Invitation.

Secrets of Science Number Two. By David Dietz The true size of the universe and the relative size of the earth to it, can be grasped best by imagining the construction of a working model. A grain of mustard seed is the tra- ditional object taken by astronomers to represent the earth in this model. On the same scale, the sun would be represented by an orange: Let us imagine the mustard seed revolving around the orange in a sort of flatten- ed circle at a distance of 40 feet. That represents then, the earth re- volving around the sun at a distance of 93,000,000 miles. The moon would be represented by a seed one-fourth the size of the mus- tard seed revolving around the mus- tard seed at a distance of one inch. Besides our earth, there are seven planets revolving around the sun. These would be represented in our model by objects ranging in size from one smaller than the mustard seed. to one the size of a pea and 'at distances from the orange ranging from 10 feet to a quarter of a mile. • Some of : these planets have no moons. One has one moon. The others -have various numbers ranging from two to nine. The sun with its planets and their attendant moons represent what the astronomer calls the solar system. The rest of the universe with its millions of stars constitutes the so- called stellar system. If our model of the solar system was located in Toronto, the nearest star would be represented by a small globe placed out hi the Atlantic Ocean. So far apart are the stars' that if we kept our model to scale and used the whole surface of the earth for it, not more than three or four stars could be represented on it. And astronomers now estimate the total number of stars as between 2000 and 5000 millions of stars. To -day a large number of astrono- mers also believe .that in addition to one stellar universe,- there are other universes, smaller ones, which they, have named "island universes." More will be said about these later. Here are a few figures for those who like them: From the earth to the moon is about 239,000 miles. From the earth to the sun is about 93,000,000 miles. From the earth to the nearest star is about 25,000 billions: of miles. Light takes one second 'to travel 186,000 miles,. Therefore it takes light eight minutes to get from the sun to the earth. Go outdoors to -night and look up at the stars. The light that reaches your eyes from some stars left them when George III. WAS King of England. The Crusaders were just s'tar'ting out for Jerusalem when the light from. more distant stars started on its way toward you. And King. Tut had not yet been born when the light from still others start- ed on its journey. Next article: The Sun. Copyright, 1923, by David 'Dietz. iWe supply cans and pay express charges.

A quaint story illustrating the work- ing orking of a child's mind, was told recent- ly by the Duchess of Portland. A little gime, grieved because her brother had set a trap in the garden for the sparrows, prayed that none should be caught. Next morning, how- ever, there was one in the trap. Her faith was sorely tried, but she continued to prey. Still sparrows were caught. Night after night she went to bed hoping that the sparrows might escape. Each morning she was moved .to tears. Then one night, after offering her usual petition for the birds; she looked up at her mother and said: "I know my prayer will be answer- ed tonight., mummy." "Wily are you so sure, dear?" "Because I smashed up the trap be- fore I came in to go to bed," was the reply. Care of animals develops responsi- bility for the helpless. POULTRY, GAME.

How many people can explain the The period which holds' the most un usual and often disturbing emotions for young fathers and mothers ie that —measured by unsteady seconds— when they realize that their child can walk. She --let us suppose the child is a girl—has been hitherto a pink bundle of uncertain desires which moved in accordance with no known laws. She crawled on her side like a swimmer. She grasped her toes and rocked sol- emnly head over heels. She advanced in a series of crashes, rising each time with a fixed smile and gazing into the world of baby hearts that we all for- get with our first coherent spoken words. She has: been doing ail this one af- ternoon. The father has been reading and stretching out a hand mechanical- ly to pat a head that sometimes rises as high as the arm of his chair. The mother would tell von that she was knitting to keep pace with her grow- ing: daughter's requirements. Really she has been dropping stitches, her eyes and soul following the zig-zag course over the carpet of an atom that she feels• is hers especially because of its helplessness. Suddenly this atom rises to its feet. The 'father, feels his. hand resting on a firm support. The mother catches her breath, and perhaps two or three dropped stitches at the same time. There is utter silence. • • Then the baby begins to walk. Hands rigidly by her vide, face set' determinedly, site makes, with the un- consciously pompous gait of extreme , youth., for the door. Everything happens at once. The father "'miles; he is absurdly .pleased. • He can see, for the first time, . the y vision 'of a pretty flapper daughter all I long, silk stockings and curls., who will bully him and love him and call him "Dad." The mother, she is young, sees• that! she has a daughter, 'which is quite an- other -thing from a baby. Her smile quivers, There may be a tear in her eye --no, there is a tear, and it drops on the half -knitted baby garment. And the baby? She collapses, as . meanings of the terms they use when writing letters? Why, for instance,, do we address a man as "Dear 'Mr.' Smith," and a woman as "Dear 'Mrs.' Smith," or "Madam?" "Mr." is an abbreviation of "Mas- ter"; "Mrs." is an abbreviated form of 'Mistress," and "Madam' is our way, of writing the French "Ma Dame," And what of . "Esq."? That, of course, stands for "Esquire," and the latter is a phonetic corruption of the French "Escuyer," meaning a shield - bearer! "Sir" is our way of writing the syllable of "Monsieur." You may add a line or so to a letter and put 'N.B." or "P.S.," as the fancy takes you. "N.B." stands for "Nota Bene," meaning "Note well," or "Take good notice." "P.S." is not really "postscript," bat "Post scriptum," meaning written afterwards. And why "'Dear' Sir"? Obviously, we do not "love" or "hold in affection" all those we address as "dear." Once, however, "dear" merely meant "es- teemed," and was used only by those who were addres's'ing anyone in a high- er station of life than themselves. NURSES WANTED. ►� T U A E T1 T HOUSES W,A. W.
