TO FE UA YOUR
The Blood Should Constantly be
Kept Rich and Pure.
If you suffer from any form of in-
digestion, your diet should be care-
fully chosen. Over -eating is always
harmful, but at the same time one
must take enough food to supply the
needs of the blood. It must be re-
membered that the blood. has to carry
nourishment to every part of the body,
Here's Aunt May, for instance. She about as large as a hazelnut, and in- when the blood becomes weak.- and
lives on a .farm where butter and seri at one end of each a bit of grass fails to do its work, indigestion arises;
or tiny flower stalk. Place the candy also when indigestion begins the blood
still further suffers. Therefore, to
safeguard your digestion the blood
should bo kept rich and red, and this
can best be done by taking a course
of Dr. Williams Pink Pills. These pille
are a blood -building, nerve -restoring
tonic and through their use your di-
gestive system will respond naturally,
your appetite will improve and your
food will do you good. The value of
Dr. W:iliaans Pink Pills in cases of
stomach trouble is shown by the ex-
perience of Mrs. J. H. Alexander, Bar-
riefleld, Ont., who says: "Some years
ago I was in a terribly broken down
condition. I had indigestion of a
severe nature, and sharp pains • of
agony all through me. My stomach
was so weak that it was difficult to re
tain food, and often after eating I
would have vomiting spells. I was un-
der medical treatment, but as I did
not improve my nerves were in a ter-
rible condition and I was always in
much misery. One day I read of a

The .insects' Party.
The insects were all very much
excited over a big entertainment that
was to he given in Grassy 'Hollow at
the edge of the East Woods. The

worked from morning to night to get
things ready,
• Butterflies and moths were chosen
to hang up the banners and bunting,
and to drape the flags, because they
could fly frorn place to place with so
ixiueh ease. Over the gate by the
tieket office was hung a notice, Insects
Only. There was another gate for
guests who were not insects; it was
marked, Visitors Only.
The bazaar was scheduled to begin
at six o'clock. At five the Cricket and
Katydid Band marched to the grounds
and were admitted free. Everyone else
had to pay to go in; but the tickets

The ticket seller was a black cricket:
A large grasshopper sat on a chair
at the gate with his long legs crossed;
no one could possibly slip past him.
Beetle policemen were on hand, and
the mounted police, large dragon flies,
hurried back and forth above the
grounds.
The crowd was for the most part
very orderly, but now and then there
was a slight disturbance.
An angleworm bought his ticket
and then tried to go in at the gate
that was marked Insects Only.
"Sorry, sir," said Mr. Grasshopper,
"but I can't let you in here,"
"Why not?" asked the angleworm.
"Because you have no legs."
"What's that got to do with it?"
said the angleworm sharply.
"A lot," the grasshopper answered.
"In order to go through that gate you
positively must have legs."

Edna herself was cooling down now;
the look in S'ophie's eyes made her
ashamed. Yet she was sure that she
had the right on her side. It was the
inefficiency of it that fretted her, she
told herself. She had explained to
Sophie a hundred times how the wast-
ed moments counted up.
Mr. Allen's bell rang just then, and
Edna picked up her notebook and went
into the office. She flushed a bit as
she noticed that his door was ajar.
She was sorry that she had called
Sophie down so hard; yet she was sure
that Mr. Allen would understand. If
Mr. Allen had heard, however, he
made no comment.
An hour later Edna laid the finished
work on Mr. Allen's desk. Edna was

hardly believe her ears, therefore,
when Mr. Allen called her back and.
pointed out a couple of errors, one in

"I overheard your lecture to Miss

the garden ties the child's interest to

the home to the school. In the con-
