have new snap to renew their vital-
ity. Nature demands it, and with-
out this new blood you will feel
weak and languid. You may leave
twinges of rheumatism or the Sharp
stabbing pains of neuralgia. Often
there are disfiguring pimples or
eruptions on the skin.* In other
cases there is merely a feeling of
tiredness and a variable appetite.
,tiny .of these are signs that. the
blood is out of order --that the in-
door life of winter 'has lessened
your vitality, What you need in
spring is a tonic medicine to put
youl' right, and in ra11 the world of
medicine there is no tonic can

recd blocs!—your greatest need in
spring. This new blood drives out
the seeds of disease and makes
easily tired men, women and ohil-
dren bright, active and strong.
Miss Edith Brou,sseau, Savona, B.

ghost, suffered from. headaoliees, se-
vere palpitation of the heart at the
slightest exertion. I hacl little or
no -appetite and seemed to be drift-
ing into. a decline. I was attend-
ing High School in V•anoouv'ea at
the time, +and the doctor ,advised me
to stop. I did so and took his
treatment for some time, but it
dad not heapnue•in the least. Upon
the advice of a friend I began tak-
ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and in
a very short time they gave me
back eonipl•ete health, and enabled
me to resum;e my studies. I have
enjoyed the best of health since,
and owe it a1f to Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills."

In many respects municipal
bonds meet the requirements of an
ideal investment, Ilhcy are ob
t •inabbe usually in various denomi-
nations, many being issued in: the
popular "baby" bond form. They
offer' in an unusual degree stabil-
ity of price, • and are available at
rates of interest to suit a great
variety of investors. In the Mat-
ter of ready oonvertibility into cash
they compare well with other high
-
claps securities, and offer a, fair op-
portunity for moderate speculative
profits an the turn. Most impor-
tant of all, the security behind the
investment is the best ,and tthe' in-
vestor is practically certain of the
return of his principal at the ma-
turity of the issue. For there is
no other •form. of security so safe-
guarded as the municipal bond.
Municipal bonds, that is t'he is-
sues of cities and towns, and in a
few eases, of townships, are fiat-
neatly a first lien upon all the-prop-
erty
heprop-
errty in the , municipality and take
precedence over every form of
mortgage or judgmsrnt lien. 'I1his.
lien ranks ahead of all real estate
mortgages held by,. individuals of
the community, and is enforced
through a tax levy to meet interest
and principal, and this tax levy,
the counts will cotmtpel in ease a
municipality .should attempt to re-
pudiate its debt. ; Provided the
bond is properly executed and its
issue is valid under the existing
laws, there is nothing to fear in the
way of repudiation by Canadian
municipalities of their bonds.
All the Eleifients of Safety.
In the purchasing of municipal
bonds, however, theinvestor'+should
'see to it 'that be is molt buying in
bond of a town which is ephemeral
in character and which, after a
`local "boom" has passed may
cease to exist over night. In con-
sidering real estate mortgages, the
mortgagor !usually makes sure that
the property o 'llateral to the`tloan
has a, real and existing value, and
is not a wild' -cat proposition; so
must . the investor in municipal
bonds see to it that the municipal-
ity, the bonds of which 'he. is pur-
ohaeing, is a real. town and not one,
dependent for its existence solely
!sin a "boom." When this pre -
Caution is taken,- the investor in.
the Canadian municipal ,bond.. can
rest easy as to the .,security of his
principal and interest. Where a
bond as valid, i.e., legally drawn
up, and protected by a sufficient
taxing power, its principal and in-
terest is as secure as the munici-
palty which issues it, is secure in
its continued' existence.
There are ,serail points which
should be taken into consideration
in investigating' a municipal bond:
One of these is the proportion
which the total and net debts of a,
municipality bear to the assessed
value of the tamable. In Canada
there is, in most ,cases, :a limit fixed
by Act of Parliament beyond which
the city or town in guest -ion can-
not go. In ,somite cases this is ten
pea cent. and in others there is a
sliding ,scale: Another thing to be
considered its the purpose of the
issue, If the money is required'
for reasonable projects, ib can be.
safely inferred that there will be
no questionof regularity of inter-
est payment, -providing the bol-
a/nee sheet of tale city shows small
net debts aecuinu^lated in the past.
'In this connection it is always
well to inquirer ,gas to the proceed-
inags under which the bonds were
issued, for if the entire Council was
in accord there is little likelihood
of the taxpay>'ers at anytime Gall-
ing in question the wisdom of the
issue. The form of bonds,. their
execution., and the legal details
must all be in .accordance with law.
Most of this latter investigating
is 'attended to by the bond house,
which has its own legal counsel
make full inquiry into the legality
of the issue before buying itself.
All the details -essenti l to a thor-
ough investigation of an issue are
usually in the posserssion ofthe
bond houses', which afford every
facility to their clients to find out
the'standing of any particular bond.
Yield is HI'igh.
In the matter of yield, there ,are
few bonds which combine:so high an
intterest yield with absolute safety
of the principal involved. Me
bonds of the latrger Canadian cities
are actively dealt "in, and beoau,se
of keen competition the :price is
usually high, and the yield corres-
pondingly low.. But even the most
active Canadian municipalities offer
a good rate of interest at the pre-
sent time, and the advancing bond
market offers a turn of once to five
points in six months Or less.
Bonds of smaller lees well-known .
municipalities; may, however, be
purchased at quite substantial
yields. While the m.arkett for these
• b ondes is not :so active and the con-
vertibility of such securities not so
good, this is oottape natecl largely by
the incrteatsed' rate of interest and
the Comparative stability of price.
Coarse good times, come bad times,
the inactive small-town municipal-
ity holds its price well. And there
is always, a . good trading market
for this °lasts of bond by private
sale through the bond dealer.
Usually municipalitie,s prefer a
long-term bond to one inaturisig in
a •short. tiwre. During the past few
months there have been issued
many short -,term notes, These have
both advantages and disadvantages.
The short-term note because of its
early maturing wilt have a certain
sta"
bility of price throughout its
oourse; but in a rising bond mar-
ket such as the present, an inves-
tor often prefers to buy a long-
term bond, as he can hold the lat-
ter indefinitely and will not be
forced to buy some other security
in a few !months' time at a higher
prioe. But for the 'business man
who must have maximum ,converti-
bility into ready cash, the short-
term note seems specially adapted.
But whether the selection shall be
a long-tlerin ora chart -term bond
depends 'entirely upon the needs of
the investor hilnssit each bead

quirements kmown best to the pros-
peotive buyer him self,
IiNITTJ ;G lf:UEl'l`1S.
Ailment Width Slightly Resemble!.
Writer's Cramp.
Many women since the war havE
taken to knitting with a vigor that
knows no bounds. Unfortunately
their zeal haus produced a definite
malady which may be compared
with tennis elbow or writer's
cramp.
In one single country village `
where the knitting fever ran very
high three women are sru`ffering 1$
various degrees from ..what is
known as "knitting neuritis,'1' I1
affects the upper arm and Shoulder
rather than the fingers, and seems
to affect only those who knit with
difficulty, having not practiced the
art in their youth.
It is said that the English methcrj
of..knitting, which is :equally putt!.
lar in En.glargi as' the Geimta:s
method, has a greater tendency to
produce this affection.
"When any untrained set of mus-
cles is suddenly called upon to re-
peat indefinitely a complex. and un-
etecustomed sequence ef move-
ments," a Landon physician said
recently, "a spasmodic paralysis is
very likely to develop. In knitting
neuritis the trouble begins with
the worker fueling that the usual
wrist and finger movements can-
not be followed -out with their cus-
tomary ease! Later the muscles
get stiff, and finally, in the later
etage, develop a spasmodic cramp
as soon as the knitting needles are •
taken into the fingers, A peculiar
characteristic of the ailment is that
while the fingers are thus affected
when any att+eatipt is made to knit,
there.is no interference with others
varieties of finger movement,
"The only. treatment is to give up
knitting indefinitely. Sometimes
after a couple of months complete
rest one can begin again. In ;other
oases a year or more of absbentvon
is necessary, otherwise the •trouble
recurs immediately."
Seals to the number of 250,000 to
350,000 are killed each year off the
