GIRLS AND WOMEN NEED RICH BLOOD This Lady Found Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a Friend Indeed. Just because she is a woman there are time's when .every woman needs help and strength in the form of a blood -building tonic. To thousands of girls and women Dr, Williams' Pink Pills kave proved a blessing because they enrich the blood, give strength and restore tone to the aching nerves. The anaemic girt who•is.languid and, gale; the wife whose back feels like breaking; the matron whose health -fails as she reaches middle age -for all snoh suf- ferers Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are in- valuable.,because 111 -health in girls and women is usually caused by poor blood or insufficient blood. These pills have proved a blessing to thousands of others, why not yoti ?' .At various stages of life Mrs. G. IL Lake, Walton, N.S,, has proved the value of Dr. Wil- liams' 'Pink Pills. She •says:—"I first used these pills when a young girl, for it is during the 'teen Age when nature calls upon every bit of the reserve strength we have, that we need their rejuvenating help. It was then I found Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a. friend Indeed. And again, now that the girl- hood stage is past and I am a mother of four children,, subject to all the cares and worries of the home, Dr, Williams' Pink Pills is the only tonic I take to keep up nly, health and strength, and they have never failed me. Should any ailing girl or weary mother, due to my advice, try these pills, I know they will find them as equally good as I have done." You ° can get these pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Round the Southland Year. Each leaf a voice, in shrub and tree, And every wind a song, Matched are the singing boughs of Araby Our glad Southland along. To music leaps the heeding grass, The lupin„ purple, blue; Lighted, as by the kindling measures pass The poppy flashes through. Fainter the strains when rains are gone, ' Softening the colors where They run up to the hills, and blended on Their sides lie lovelier there.

What wonderful advancement has been made during the past few de- cades in the prevention and care of disease, and this improvement is due to a large measure to the scientific investigation and research conducted in our laboratories. The knowledge thus gained would be of little use, however, unless sent to those who need it or those 'who can .apply it In the education or treatment of others. The most valuable contributions made by research workers in so far as the health and happiness of the peo- ple are concerned have been in the field of preventive medicine. Many of the diseases which years ago afflicted the people are now seldom heard of and still greater results are confident- ly expected. The prevention of disease.is largely a matter of education. It cannot be accomplished through the efforts of the physician alone; he will lead the way but the general public must be taught to take such an interest in their own health that they will be willing to accept the advice given. Dental infection is one of the most frequent causes of disease and the On- tarso Department of Health has or- ganized a special effort for the pur- pose of informing the people in•regard. to the prevention of dental diseases. This campaign will take the form of a Dental Health Day, to be held on Wed- nesday, October 20th. The activities will include a motion picture film which has been prepared by the Ontario Motion Picture Bureau, radio talks from the various stations, instruction to school children, the dis- tribution of special booklets by the Insurance Companies, newspaper pub- licity which the press is giving .with- out charge, and window display. The dentists of the Province, at the request of the Department of Health, will give private instruction on mouth care to all who desire it, and the gen- oral publicity will stress the import- ance of a proper diet, thorough masti- cation of the food, and careful cleans- ing of the mouth. The educational, health, service and social welfare organizations of the Province are co-operating, and this, the first Province -wide effort of this kind in Canada, promises to be a great success. Characteristics of Flying Man. Courage,' •endurance, determination all go to the' making of a flying man. Think of Lieutenant Bettis, wrecked with his plane among the Pennsyl- vania mountains, crawling with a broken leg and a doubly broken jaw through five miles of forest and un- derbrush to the read whero� he was found by a passing motorist. Only those who know by experience what the pain of a broken leg, roughly moved, means can fully appreciate the dogged, unconquerabie will -power that made that terrible journey possible. Unhappily, the brave man did not sur- vive his injuries. Distant Relative.

CI1ILD1 OOD AILMEATS Can be Quickly Banished With Baby's Own Tablets. The ailments of childhood are many but eine-tenths of them are due to one cause and one cause only—a disorder- ed condition of the r stomach and bowels. To quickly banish any of the minor ailments of babyhood and child- hood the bowels must be made to work regular and the stomach must be sweetened. No other medicine for little ones has had such success as has Baby's Own Tablets. They banish constipation and indigestion; break up colds and giraffe fevers; correct diarrhoea and colic and promote healthful sleep by regulating the functions of the stom ash and bowels. Concerning them Mrs. L. M. Brown, Walton, N.S. writes:—"I cannot speak too highly of Baby's Own Tablets as I have found them excellent for childhood ail- ments." Baby's Own Tablets are sold by medicine dealers, or by marl at 25 cts. a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Marigolds. Marigolds burn through the ducky day, Like orange lanterns 'through. som- ber night; Swinging bright bonnets of golden. ray, Harlgolds burn through the dusky day, Lusty and proud and handsomely gay; They glow from terrace and mead'- ow's blight; MarigoIde burn through the dusky day Like orange lanterns through som- ber night. —Gertrude S.

The British Broadcasting Company does not stand still. No sooner had it put into operation a committee to standardize the pronunciation of words about which there might be a doubt, than it set about the production of a B. B. C. voice. George Grossmith, the actor -manager, who is en the staff{ of the B. B. C., is credited with the idea of training actors and actresses specially for radiocas•ting plays. It is obvious that where the audience, and the word "audience" here is really ap- •plicable, has to depend entireI'y on the ear for gathering' impressione, it is doubly necessary for the actors to use their voices to the utmost advantage. The different effect of 'various voices on that delicate instrument, the micro- phone, is very marked. The traine•i announcer leans Confidentially toward ft and speaks rater quietly. Tho Academy -Nor Dramatic Art welcomes the idea as it will give a chance to men and women with a dramatic sense and good voioes who, for other res - sons, might shrink from a stage career.

Lone.Safety Blade Must Suffice Future Tomnies That somebody in the British War Office is possessed of considerable sense of humor is indicated by the of - tidal announcement last week that in the future Tommy Atkins will be sup- plied with a "safety razor with one blade," in place of the old-Whim/ed. straight razor. There has been much comment on how long the War Office expects a. single blade to last or if it means a short, sprouting beard will have to be adopted by the soldier who wishes to oonvince his • commanding officer that he is entitled to another of his majes- ty's Wades.
