It kills thousands iof babies. Let me tell you why. In the first place, by dirt -I mean filth, matter that is left to lie around where it doesn't belong, where it rots and moulds ---garbage, rubbish, dust and waste of all sorts. This dirt is placed where bacteria ox disease germs grow by the million, These germs cause most sickness. Without dirt no germs can grow. Fl;es feed on filth, then carry the germs to human beings. Without filth there would be no flies. Beep the dirt and flies away and you will keep away a great deal of sickness. Every fly that comes around carries .a little dirt, and every timehe touches your food he leaves a little of it there. Every particle of it is likely to have M it hundreds of microbes that may the world, as a reliable tonic, blood - get into your stomach and blood, grow making medicine. there and make you sick, The wonderful success of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills is due to the fact that they go right to the root of the disease in the blood, and by making the vital fluid rich and red strengthen every organ and every nerve, thus driving out disease and pain, and making, weak, despondent people bright, active and strong. Mr. W. T. Johnson, one of the best known and mast highly esteemed men in Lunen - burg county, N.S., says:—"I am a Provincial Land Surveyor, and am ex- posed fox the greater part of the year to very hard work travelling through the forests by day and camping out by night, and I find the only thing that will keep me up to the mark is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. When I leave home for a trip in the woods I am as interested in having my supply of pills as provisions, and on such occasions, I take them regularly. The result is I am always fit. I never take cold, and can digest all kinds of food such as we have to put up with hastily cooked in the woods. Having proved the value of Dr. Williams'. Pink Pills, as a tonic and health builder, I am never without them, and I lose no op- portunity in recommending them to weak people whom I meet." Dr, Williams' Pink Pills should be kept in every home, and their occa- sional use will keep the blood pure and ward off illness. You can get these pills through any medicine deal- er ,or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. WiI- liamV Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Easily Maintained Through the Use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. There is not a nook or corner in Canada, in the cities, the towns, the villages, on the farms and in the mines and lumber camps, where Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have not been used, and from one end of the country to the other they have brought back to bread -winners, their wives and Families the splendid treasure of new health and strength. You have only to ask your neighbors, and they can tell you of some rheu- matic or nerve -shattered man, some suffering woman, ailing youth or anaemic girl who owes present health and strength to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, For more than a quarter of a century these pills have been known not only in Canada, but throughout all Some grown men and women are strong enough to fight off these germs and keep well. Most babies are not. If there are flies and dirt around, the germs are pretty likely to get at your, baby. There are people who understand how important it is to keep clean and really try to do so. But they don't know how. They scrub and sweep every part of their homes that shows. They seem to think dirt doesn't mat- ter if you can't see it. But remember the germs can find it if you can't. The flies will get to it even if you don't reach it with your broom. Don't Iet any garbage collect. Gar- bage, even when it is •carefully kept in a pail, is dangerous; the germs can breed there as well as though it was scattered around your rooms. Don't let your soiled clothes stay around long; remember, germs breed in them. Wash the baby's clothes as soon as they are soiled. Never leave any dirt or filth around your baby if you want to keep it well. See that all cracks and corners of your rooms are kept thoroughly cleaned out. Go over your floors and woodwork with hot water frequently. Keep your drains and sinks thoroughly cleaned. You can do this by scrubbing wherever you can reach with hot soapsuds and by pouring it down the pipes. Every little while, too, you had better pour into your drains chloride of lime or something else that you use to kill germs. Your doctor will tell you what is best to use. Look out for dust, You are very likely not to notice the little dust that gathers under beds and behind cur- tains, especially in the summer time. But dust is also a place for germs to grow in. Dust goes all through the air and carries these germs not only to your food, but into your lungs when you breathe the air. One good way to keep the air clean is to keep your windows open as much as possible so that the old 'air does not stay in your room long. Let the sun into your rooms as much as pos- sible. Sunlight helps to kill germs. Morning in the Camp. A bed of ashes and a half -burned brand, Now mark the spot where last night's camp -fire sprung And licked the dark with slender, scarlet tongue; The sea draws back from shores of yello'v sand Nor speaks lest he awake the sleeping land; Tall trees grow out of shadows; high among Their somber boughs one clear sweet song is sung; In deep ravine by drooping cedars spanned The Winter Window Box. The first thing to decide is, where is the box to be located? In an east, south, .west or north window? The east is the most favorable and can take care of the greatest variety of plants. But do not despair if your window does not happen to face the east. Almost as many plants can be grown in southern exposure, quite a few in the west, and even a north window can be made very gay though not with the same plants as •do well in the south window. This is where most of the mistakes are made. Plants which require a great deal of light are shoved into a north window and ex- pected to do as well or better than those in a neighbor's south window. With the right selection, much may be accomplished; with the wrong selec- tion the result will be pitiful. Another consideration is the ex- tremes of temperature which the plants will have to endure. The aver- age temperature does not matter so much, but the extremes are very im- portant. If the night temperature goes below fifty degrees, many plants will be cut out. Sixty degrees will be the limit of another group and so on. Select with those two points in view, plant properly, water judiciously, and you have every right to expect good All drowned in gloom, a flying pheas- � results provided always that plants ant's whirr have been given a rest in the summer Tends morning's solemn busk; gray and are not already all worn out with rabbits run blooming.

In bringing the summer time into the winter home, do not forget the kitchen, A box of parsley in the kit- chen window will do much to liven up the kitchen and will furnish a garnish for many a meal. A few hydrangea flowers placed in a dry vase will retain their appear- ance for a long time.

The newspapers of. the United States and Canada consume 2,150,000 tons of newsprint annually. Stated in, this way, it probably conveys little information to you respecting the effect upon our forests, You will bet - tet' appreciate the situation when 1 say that it represents the denudation of the mature trees on an area of 1,000 square miles of forest land each and every year. This will give you an idea of the inroads that newsprint manufacture is making upon the for- ests of North America. • rork-Tike tongs have been invented for turning meat while cooking with- out puncturing it and allowing its Juices to escape, Buy Thrift Stamps, The Horning Hawk. An English wozuan possessed a' novel and interesting pet. She was. staying ou the little island of Batt - nest, opposite the port of Freemantle, in western Australia, a place where everything had to be brought across a stormy channel, and to impart birds•. or other pets was so difficult as to' be out of the question. She therefore hailed with pleasure the offer of a bay to bring her a half -fledged hawk, as tame as it was in the nature of a hawk to be. There was no question of a cage, and "Alonzo" was established on a perch in a sheltered corner of the up- per verandah. He was fed at short intervals on raw meat and proved very voracious, All day long he sat mo- tionless on his perch, only coming on his owner's band for his meals. For two or three weeks Alonzo en- joyed the attentions of his mistress. Then one morning at early daylight she heard an unusual noise on the ver- andah and came out just in time to see the little hawk spread its wings and sail off into space. He had been wise enough to devour all the meat. left in readiness ,for his breakfast. Deeming that a bird of so wild a na- ture when once free would remember his friends no more, she concluded he was lost to her, but a few hours later, as she was standing ou the verandah, she stretched out her arm beyond it as far as she could reach, when the hawk dropped like a stone out of the •cloudless blue and sat on her arm as composedly as if he had never left the shelter of his home. He was ready for his dinner and received a gdod one. After that it became an establiahed custom to put every evening a saucer of chopped raw meat on a table in the verandah, together with a pan of water, that the hawk might have an eerie. breakfast.. He 'foraged for him - Self all day, coining back at night to roost in the verandah. It was curious to watch his return. Ile generally made many attempts be- fore he could accommodate himself to the slope of the roof, so as to get be- neath it. After each failure he would soar away out of sight, only to come back and circle round the house till he had determined how low to stoop, Then, like a flash, he would dart be- neath the projecting eaves. Apparently it was necessary to make but ono effort, for there was no popping in and out, no uncertainty, but when he came it was with one majestic swoop, and the next moment he would be on his perch as rigid and unruffled as if he had never left it. What Wise Mega Say That bad temper mems bad busi- ness. That to a brave heart nothing is im- possible. That worry is the interest paid on trouble in advance. That no man is the worse for know- ing the worst about himself. That daring has value only when it is combined with judgment. That great opportunities come to those who make use of small onus, That experience teaches intlligent people; fools go on blundering to the end. That you must expect to be bored If you are not interested in anything but yourself. That it fate sometimes sells us the same experience twice at a high rate, the fault is our own. That we have all got to take the rough with the smooth, and to know how to take the rough smoothly is the whole art of living.
