GoodQ ueen Bess Watched Pennies in Her Household. Housekeeping accountancy was a fin -e art, practiced by royal personages in the sixteenth century, according to a big book auctioned off in London this week. The imperial folio account book was one kept by Queen Elizabeth when she was still a princess, eighteen years old, and shows the household expenses of her residence at Hatfield for the year 1551-1552. The volume has twenty-six vellum pages and the covers are decorated with illuminated lettering and scroll work, with live pen and ink emblem- atic drawings among the entries. Each account is signed "Elizabeth, the sig- nature being graceful, one with fine flourishes around it and countersigned by Sir Walter Buckler, then her cham- iieriain. It is shown that Elizabeth spent nearly £4,000 that year, quite a re- spectable amount, when it is consider- ed that a pound in those days was worth at least four times as much as it is to -day. Although "the good Queen Bess" is supposed to have had a great love for literature and a passion for dress, these "accompts" do not give much indication of it.

CHILDHOOD CONSTIPATION Constipated children can find prompt relief through the use of Baby's Own Tablets. The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which never fail to regulate the bowels and stom- ach, thus driving out constipation and indigestion; .,colds and simple fevers. Concerning them Mrs. Gaspard Daigle, Demain, Que., writes: "Baby's Own Tablets have been of great benefit to my little boy, who was suffering from constipation and Indigestion.
