Zurich Herald, 1926-08-05, Page 3SOME SYMPTOMS OF THIN-BLOODI Everybody Should be Able to Re- cognize Them Because Early Treatment is Important, Anaemia, or lack of blood, is a stealthy disease and 1s often quite ad- vanced before it is recognized. It is much easier to correct in its early stages, but if unchecked causes weak- ness, loss of weight, lack of vigor and ambition. Some symptoms of anaemia are loss of appetite, indigestion, headaches, sleeglesnness, shortness of breath after slight exertion, and often extreme ner- vousness. If you have, any or all of these symptoms begin treatment now with Dr. Williams' Pink Pille, the tonic which will make the blood rich and plentiful. Every part of the body will respond to this treatment, as is shown by the case of Mrs. Isaac Bell, Sr., Port Anson, Ont., who says:—"A few years ago I was a very sickly woman. ' was all run down aid my nerves badly shattered. I had taken doctor's medi- cine, but as I got no help from it, I tried other medicines, but with no bet- ter results. One day while reading a newspaper, I came across are adver- tisement of Dr. Williams' Pik Pills describing a case very much like my own. I decided to try then, and by the time I had taken two boxes I could feel the benefit I was getting frrom them, so I cheerfully continued the treatment and was soon a well woman In better health than I had enjoyed for some years. In ..view of what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done for me I cheer- fully recommend their use to all weak, run-down people." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or may be had by mail at 60 cents a box by writiu,g The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Little pansy facets Wink and smile at me, And far and near there's not a tear That human eye can see. There's beauty in the garden, There's beauty in the sky, The stately phlox and hollyhocks Have put their sorrows by. The gentle breath of summer Iias blown the cares away; All nature sings, for morning brings Another lovely day. Yet soMe are blind 'to beauty And some are deaf to song, The troubled brow is heard to vow That all the world is wrong. And Sona display their sorrow, And some bewail their woe, And some men sigh that love must die And summertime must go. Yet some there are who blossom Like roses in the sun, Wbo dare to climb in summertime When all their care Is done. They hide 'neath smiles of beauty The sorrows they have borne, They seem content that God bath sent Another lovely morn. --Edgar A. Guest. How Hany Hairs on a Head?

The volvox represents a more advanced state of evolution. It is composed of thousands of cells in a sort of colony. Secrets of Science. By David Dietz. The first life upon earth was prob- ably the simplest sort imaginable. Scientists agree upon this though they do not know how life did originate. Instruments invented by Charles Nessler, of New York, are capable of counting the hairs of the head and giv- ing other data of interest to hair -dress- ers. It has been shown that the num- ber. of um-ber.of hairs growing on the average bead is from 100,000 to 250,000, vary- ing with the texture of the hair. Human hair grows at the rate of half an Inch a month. FREE! This 11 -Minute instruction Book With Every Q.R.B. Olona Ukulele ENJOY, A UKULELE. THIS SUMMER Special Combination Offer.

Plants are organisms which feed at a low chemical level. That is, they Probably the first forme of life were feed on air, water,. and chemical salts. merely microscopic globules of living They absorb these salts directly out matter. of water or soil.

To -day we find such simple result of this pigment, they are able In one -celled organisms or animalcules, sunlight to absorb carbon dioxide out of the air and turn it directly into car- bon compounde. Animals lack these powers. They feed at a high chemical level. That is, they feed on starches, sugars, fats and proteins, getting them by devouring Plants or other animals. There is a second great difference between plants and animals. Plants possess little activity. Their cells are boxed in walls of a substance known as cellulose. Animals are active. Their cells do not have walls of cellulose, and in most cases not much of a wall of any sort. From this point on the evolution of The first plants upon the earth were life can be compared to a letter "V," probably microscopic one -celled green the evolution of the plants going along plants floating in the open sea.

Some of these organisms began to assume the characteristics of animals. Others, those of plants. This was the great parting of the ways, the dividing of life into the plant kingdom and the animal kingdom. one branch and the evolution of ani- mals along the other.

Descendant of Governor Duke Dmitri, of Leuchtenbeeg, Count de Beauharnois, lineal descendant of Charles, Marquis de Beauharnois, who governed Canada in the name of the French.

SAVE THE CHILDREN In Summer When Childhood Ail- ments Are Most Dangerous., Mothers who keep a box of Baby's Own Tablets In the house may feel tat the lives of their little ones are reasonably safe during the hot weath- er. Stomach troubles, cholera infan- tum and diarrhoea carry off thous- ands of little ones every summer, in moat cases because the mother does not have a safe medicine at hand to give promptly. Baby's Own Tablets relieve these troubles, or if given oc- casionally to the well child they will prevent their coming on. The Tab- lets are guaranteed by a government analyst to be absolutely harmless even to the new-born babe. They are es- pecially good In summer because they regulate the bowels and keep the stomach sweet and pure. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. F Comfort on Roadways. Speed has much to do with comfort in riding over rough roads. There are some types of pavements that can be made to seem smoother by driving ten or fifteen miles an hour faster, while others can be smoothed out only by driving slower. It depends upon the nature of the road, the wheelbase of the car, the number and weight of pas- sengers carried, the air pressure in the tires and the type of spring control 'devices used. So the driver must ex- periment with each new stretch of road. Coldstream Guards Band Will Tour Canada. The band of H.M. Coldstream Guards are to make a tour of Canada. They will visit Winnipeg, Vancouver, Bran- don, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, and will be at the Canadian National Exhibition In Toronto, where they will not only give a number of concerts, but they will also appear with the Ex- hibition Chorus of 2,000 voices. The claim, of the Coldstream Band, to be the oldest iu the British Army, is, by the way, challenged by one, who states that the band of the Royal. Ar- tillery was formed in 1762, 23 years befoi•e the Duke of York imported Ger- man musicians as a nucleus of the Coldstream Guards' Band, and it was the first band to be officially recog- nized'by a provision in the Army Esti- mates. The formation of the Coldstream Guards Band, it is said, was due to an army etrike. The civilian musicians who had previously provided music for the regiment put -in a demand for high- er pay, which was refused, whereupon they "downed instruments" and went on strike, a strike which failed owing to the strike-breakers- engaged by the Duke of York, at the time Commander- in'Chief, ley in August.

Mother's Orders. Ruth and Marjorie were spending the afternoon with their friend, Jane. At five o'clock they informed their hostess that they must be going. "My dears," said Jane's mother, "can't you stay and have supper with us;No, thank you," both replied. "Moth- ?" er told us to come home at five." Hats and wraps were brought. As they were being put on, D'ane's mother asked again: "Are you sure you must go before sthanppeur?" "Yes, k you; we must go," re- plied Ruth.
