By prompt treatment they can usually just as quickly be set right again. Most of their troubles arise in the first place from the stomach or bowels; that is why a good cleaning - out is the first thing prescribed.by the doctor. Formerly castor oil was the means used tb bring this about; now - a -days Baby's Own Tablets do • the same work, but without trouble to the parent or discomfort to the little one. Children take Baby's Own Tablets happily because there is no nasty taste and because no griping after- pains follow their use. As a specific for childhood indiges- tion, vomiting, constipation, colic, colds, teething pains, etc., there is no- thing to equal Baby's Own Tablets. They never do harm and always do -good. The Tablets are sold by medi- cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Oak Lightning Target.

Modern science knows a better trick than that, and the new version. is "dyed in the wood." As the result of experiments by scientists, forest treesiave undergone an amazing transformation, their vo- tive colors Vanging to gorgeous shades of lavender, yellow, blue, and orange•, his change Is nothing If not thorough—the whole wood of the tree, from the outer surface right to the, very heart of the trunk, takes on the new hue, and it does it as it grows. Men with a lifelong experience of forestry have been absolutely amazed by the experiments, and the opinion has been expressed. that the discovery may revolutionize to world's hardwood lumber industry. The operation of dyeing the tree is a comparatively simple one, and all sorts of articles can be made from the colored wood. Among these already turrned out are umbrella -handles, cigar- ette cases, candlesticks, and buttone. They have only to be shaped and polished, as the coloring has been seen to while the tree was still growing. And it is indelible. Neither acid nor water will affect it. Briefly, the dyeing process is as fol- lows: Holes are bored in the trunk, and the dye is introduced through these. It flows down into the trunk, and is then taken all -through the tree by the sap. In the case of a small tree, the whole of the wood is colored in two days, but four days are required for the process to be completed when larger trees• are tackled. A tree dyed in this way would con tinue to grow if it were not cut down. For, though the artificial coloring ap- pears to harden the wood, it neither kills nor injures the tree. East and West Canada. The province of British Columbia, including Vancouver's Island, lies far west of Winnipeg, between the Rooky Mountains and the Pacific. Above two-thirds of the whole pro- vince is covered with timber. One tree, the Douglas fir, grows to the height of between 200 and 300 feet, and measures often eight feet in diam- eter. There are many first-class sawmills throughout the province, and the total annual product of these is about 200,- 000,000 feet, of which 25,000,000 feet is exported to other countries, 25,000,000 used at home, and 15,000,000 sent to California, Nova Scotia is surrounded on all sides by the Atlantic, except where it is joined to New Brunswick by an isthmus eight miles wide and twelve miles long. It was probably discover- ed by the Cabots in 1497. It was first settled by the French in 1593, and called by them Acadie, the Indian name being "Acadia." Port Royal, now called Annapolis, was taken possession of by the Eng- lish governor and colonists of Virginia, by right of the discovery of Sebastian Cabot. It was ceded to Great Britain in 1713 and erected into a_ British See In 1787.

It is the lack of this that is the great trouble with nine girls out of ten. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have achieved world-wide fame for their remarkable blood -malting pro- perttes. In these pills there is vigor- ous health, with glowing cheeks and sparkling eyes for every weak, pale girl. The value of the pills in cases of this kind is shown by the statement of Mrs. Winnifred Rutty, Barton Street West, Hamilton, Ont., who says:—"About two years ago my eldest girl got into very bad health. I took her to a doctor who advised having her tonsils removed, saying this was the seat of the •trouble. We had them removed, but it did not help her, and she seemed to have absorbed so much poison from the trouble that she did not pick up at aid. She could neither eat nor sleep, and what food she did take did not digest. Then she developed a cough that kept her awake at night, and went down in weight to 95 pounds. A neighbor said to me, 'You have tried so many things why not try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills?' I got some and before she finished the second box she began to show _im- provement. She continued the use of the pills for some time and is now in the pink of condition, able to work and play, and eat and sleep with all her old-time vigor. These statements can be verified by neighbors who watched her restored from ill health to perfect health." If your medicine dealer does not keep these pills, you can get them by mail at 50c a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. On Building. Building. He that alters an old house is tied as a translator oto the original, and is confined to the fancy of the first build- er. Such a man were unwise to pluck down good old building, to erect, per- chance, worse new.

Occupational Diseases : A Rapid Reference Manual. Occupational disease constitutes an enormous problem in modern indus- trial life. In addition to dangerous trades where sp-ecial precautions are essential to safeguard the life -of the workers, there are many others where ,ubsta.nces of lesser danger are in use and are causing minor disabilities. In many cases the connection between cause and effect as not obvious, and it Is only accumulated experience which can give the clue to the occupational origin of symptoms and disease among the workers. It is ad order to pool such experience that progressive coun- tries interested in preventing indus- trial sickness compile lists showing occupational poisons, the industries using them, the mode of entrance into the body, and the symptoms to be ex- pected. While much of the material in such lists is of international appli- cation, the experience of each country varies according to differences in in- dustrial processes and raw materials available. Thus it is useful for each country to have its own list. For this reason the Department of Health of Ontario has just issued a small booklet entitled "Occupational Diseases: A Rapid Reference Manual," which contains general information on occupational disease and a correlated l list of industries and poisons; a com- parative study of legislation in On-; tarso and elsewhereis Included. While the booklet is issued primarily for the use of. physicians, it can be obtained by others especially interested in die - ease, traceable to industry, on applica- tion to the Division of Industrial Hygiene Departmenit of Health of Ontario, Spiidina House, Toronto. 11 Consider Walls and Ceiling.

Be conscientious in regard to your shower before stepping into the tank.

Is your tank operated according to government standards of safety? French Independence Day. The name, "Day of the Bastille," is given in French history to the 14th of July, 1789, because on that day the mob, assisted by the Gerdes Fran- caise•, rose in insurrection and des- troyed the prison fortress of the Bas- tille. During the years 1790-1792, the anniversary of this event was, called "La Fete de la Federation." The Day of the Bastille is also known as the "Day of July," and is celebrated by the French as a patriotic holiday.

STRATFOAD WOMAN Restored to Health byLydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Stratford, Ontario. — "After my first baby was born I started to work on the tenth day and did a big wash- ing on the twelfth day. Being so young (I was married at 19) I did not know what was the matter, so let it go until I was all run-down, weak and nervous, and had a bad displace- ment. For nearly two years I could not sleep and I would always complain of having 'not a head -ache, but a brain -ache.' My mother is taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound during the Change of Life and she recommended it to me. After taking two bottles I began to get a little sleep and to feel better and I have never left off since then, except for about three months. I can safely say I have taken thirty bottles since my second baby was born. I think it makes child -birth easier as I had terrible pains with my first three children and very few with my fourth as I was so mucli stronger. I am now elite. to do my work alone, but I am still taking the Vegetable Com- pound as I am nursing baby. "—Mrs. OMEP, PAUL, 49 Cherry Street, Strat- ford, Ontario.
