As a blood builder and nerve tante Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are unsurpassed, and for that reason do not fail to give relief to rheumatic sufferers when given a fair trial. Among the rheumatic sufferers who have proved the _great value of this medicine is Mr. N. M. Foley, Windsor, N.S., who says: -"My trou- ble started with a bad cold, the result of working in a heavy rain storm. Prom that it developed into rheu- xinatism which badly crippled me and kept me 'mentioned to bed foe upwards of s•ix months. The doctor who treat- ed me did not help me, and every friend who called to see me had some- thing different to advise. Some of these remedies I tried., but with no bet- tor results. My legs were stiff from the hips down, aid every move I Made caused intense pain, and con- stantly I was growing weaker. Then a friend from Falmouth, who came to see me, asked if I had tried Dr. Wil- • rams' Pink Pills. I had taken se much medicine without benefit that I was skeptical and said so. My friend, however, had so much faith in the pills that he got me a supply and to please him I began taking them. I had not been taking them long when I vegan to feel a change for the bet- ter, and I gladly got a further supply. i ooti I was able to get out of bed and walk around on crutches. Still tak- ing the pills I used in all seventeen boxes, by which time I was a well man and at work every day. Now I always keep a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the house and if I feel ah ache or pain I take them, and al- ways with good results. I believe I would still be a bed -ridden cripple but for these pills, and I shall always praise and recommend them." You can get these pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 60 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. "Come Along, Boys, Here's a Church." Qzlce a ship was wreeked on a coral reef in the South 13 -ear; The crew got ashore as beet they could, using any- thing they .sn.w, afloat as a life belt. Not 'knowing the island, they were afraid to go: inland, For aught they knew its inhabitants might be canna bals .and they had no desire to furnish over the island. Having won the sum- mit he began to wave his arms excited- ly, beckoning them. AS they got near- er to him they heard him shouting, "Come along, boys, it's all right, here's a church." • The story is told by the famous Aus- trailers preacher, Rev. Henry Howard, who recently visited America. The Church to those man was a symbol of security. They were no longer afraid. Because the good news had been pro- claimed there, those shipwrecked sail- ors felt safe. Without that symbol, they knew that their lives would not have been worth a moment's con- sideration. The Church in the midst has made a difference. It has been the cradle of amazing securities, and 'liberties•, of philanthropies and literatures and en- lightenments. The modern world all! too often takes these things for grant ed, without recognizing their origins. Christianity has made all the differ- ence and often we know it not. o The Church, for instance, has liter- ally grown Good Samaritans, and be- muse of them life has taken on kind- lier and more humane aspects. They have been found in every age—some of them known, most of them un- known. In the middle ages for in- stance, the Friars established them- selves in the pestilential quarter of towns, ministering to the lepers. Men like St. Francis and St. Hugh of Lin- coln would minister to lepers with their own bands, overcoming all re- pugnance, caring for them in the spirit and the name of Christ. Wherever Christianity has gone there have sprung up homes for lepers, orphan- ages, hospitals, schools. For the un- privileged and dispossessed life has come to have new securities and new succourers. The world's Elizabeth Frye, John Rewards, Stephen Grellets and Shaftesburys found their inspira- tion in the Christian Gospel. The world is shill sadly imperfect. In a sense it is. true that Christianity, so far from having failed, has never really been tried. Yet it has been a leaven at work and in deep and wide- spread ways, often too little acknow- ledged or recognized, it has made all the difference to our life. The Church in the midst is the symbol of what Christianity has done for U. Seven Years Have Passed. When, seven years ago, the world realized, with a great thankfulness, that Armageddon had actually come to an end, Flanders fields were vast tracts of land laid bare and desolate by the invader, covered with mud and debris, and dotted with struggling weeds and scarlet poppies. Now they have regained much of their normal aspect. At St. Eloi, Zilleheke, St. Jean, Boe- singhe, and in the district of the Yser Canal reconstruction work is all but completed, and everywhere newly - built shops, houses•, and churches pay striking testimony to the industry of the Belgian people. Here and there, it. is true, certain War -time features have been pre- served, as, for instance, the trenches at Nieu'port, which have been made permanent by fortifying with cement. At Ypres, the town ire entirely re- built, and reconstruction work on the cathedral is being pushed forward at a rapid rate. Only the ruins of the }wonderful old Cloth Hall remain, and will stand stark against the skyline for ever—a memorial of suffering and heroism. Amid all this newness two striking exceptions are Hill 60 and Houthulet .,Forest. The latter still remains a group of blackened tree -stumps, just ea it was after that devastating gas,. attack in which thousands of French soldiers, many of whose bodiesstill lie hidden in the denst undergrowth, Were overcome by the fumes. At Hill 60, the visitor may see old shells, cartridges., boots, socks, and other pathetic remains, Here to -day more than at any other place in the battlefields, is ft poasibie to realize to the full what the War meant. The work of completing the rever- ent orderliness of the cemeteries and raising memorials is also nearing its end: In fact, the country has now all but settled down. Those who contem- plate a visit to the battlefields should make it as soon as possible. a If you are mashing potatoes be sure the milk used is hot.

The name "Red Rose" has been a guarantee of quality for 30 years LATEST IN MEDICAL SE It is gradually being brought home to Mr. Average Man that the discom- fort associated with ocean travel is but a bad dream of the'past. Travel- ling across the Atlantic in five days in a luxurious cabin, with hot and cold water, lights, music, dancing, news- papers, radio and every desirable con- venience of the day, it is hard to think of the time when it took weeks or months before a tiny schooner would reach America after fighting its way over each wave, threatened, with dis- aster by every high wind. Ocean travel has reached the point of perfection where even invalids and those taken sick suddenly can be given all the medical advantages. of shore hospitals. The ship hospitals are as modern and up-to-the-minute as those on shore, but of necessity, are more restricted, But even the finest of man's calcu- lations are sometimes upset by the Are Easy to Take. One of the strongest points in favor of any medicine for children is that it is so agreeable that the mother does not have to force it down the little one's throat. - Baby's Own Tablets have no ,drug taste, may be crushed to a powder if desired, and babies like them. They are perfectly safe for they contain no opiate or narcotic. They sweeten the stomach and remove the cause of fretfulness. Mrs. Arthur Charlebois, Pawtucket, R,I., says: "I have found Baby's Own Tablets to be a gentle laxative and a safe remedy for stomach disorders in children. Our little boy had been given harsh cathartics but these tab- lets worked more effectively without the severe griping. I can recommend them to all mothers of little children.", Baby's Own Tablets are sold by medicine deai'ers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Hospital for Sick Children. 67 College St., Toronto, 2, Ont. Christmas, 1925. Dear Mr. Editor:— This is the fiftieth year—the semi - centennial of the Hospital for Sick Children. It is the Golden Anniver- sary of an institution which started out in 1876 with a six -bed equipment to cure children medically of their ill- nesses and to rid them surgically of their disabilities. Fifty years have passed and the tiny hospital has grown into one of the greatest insti- tutions of its kind in the whole world. The people of this province demand- ed this service—and they have made it possible- by their Christmas Time gifts. They are rewarded by • the knowledge that thousands of Ontario children will grow up into manhood or womanhood blessing the "little blue cots" wherein they were restored and strengthened to play a full part in the battle of life. l To win back health for six thousand boys and girls was the measure of the Hospital's ward -service alone this year. Besides, that there were over half a hundred thousand attendances in the Out -Patient Department, where the less serious cases are treated. All this cost a great deal of money, even though the doctors give freely of their WAS MR.CORN EMBA FRRASSED WHEN THE ELECTRICIAN TOLD HIM THAT STORY? EA!Ifs..,..good t+ cod.

Astronomers believe that if all the coal fields of the earth could be piled together and burned, the total heat would not equal that given out by the sun during the fraction of a second. The earth is protected from the rays of the sun by the atmosphere or blan- ket of air surrounding the earth. Were it not for this, even though the earth is 93,000,000 miles from the sun, so much heat would strike it, that the great ice fields at the. north and south pales would be melted and within a year all the oceans would be- gin to boil. Life, of course. would be impossible under such conditions. The force of gravity upon the sur- face of any heavenly body is a result of its size. An athlete could jump ria times as high on the moon as on the earth. On Jupiter he could only jump half as high. On the sun the force of gravity would be 27 times as great as on the earth, Under such conditions our athlete would not be able to jump at all.

The oldest stars, known as "white dwarfs," are made of the heaviest sub- stance known to science, according to an interview with Professor Herbert Dingle, noted British astronomer, pub- lished in "The Daily Mail." It has been computed that this substance is 53,000 tunes' heavier than water and 10,000 times heavier than iron. A child could not lift a piece the size of a penny. A pint of it would weigh more than twenty -two -tons. Mix a little ammonia with the bees- wax and turpentine used for floor polishing. The wax will then dissolve quickly.
