The Condition of Too Many Wo' men and Too Many Girls.' Too many women .and too malty girls look Old long before they shoul=d. Their faces become pale and drawn; Wrinkles appear and their eyes lack brightness. Can this be wandered at when they so frequently have head- aches, backaches and a general feeling of -wretchedness and weakness? In most cases it is the blood that is to blame. From one cause or another the blood. has become thin and watery, and it is a fact that anaemia (blood- lessness) more than any other cause, gives women this prematurely aged appearance. It is important that the blood supply of girls and women be regularly replenished --important not only on the score of looks, but to re- store robust health, which is of great- er value. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood and restore the system shattered by overwork or worry. These pills give a glow of health to pale faces and make tired, weary women and girls feel bright and happy. With Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at hand there is no need for any woman or any girl to look ill or feel ill. Mrs. J. McDonald, jr., Hay, Ont., says: "I honestly believe Dr. Williams' Pink Pills saved my life. Some years ago I had anaemia, and as I did not realize the seriousness of the trouble I soon became a complete wreck. I got so weak I could hardly walk. I neither ate •nor slept well, and could not go upstairs without stopping to rest. At times I had an almost unbearable pain in my back, and would have to remain in bed. I suffered almost constantly from. a dull headache, and when sweeping if I would stoop to pick up anything I would get so dizzy that I would have to catch hold of . something to keep from falling. At times my heart would beat so' fast that I -would have a smothering sensation. My eyes were sunken and my hands and limbs would be swollen in the mornings. I tried several kinds of medicines with- out benefit, and my friends thought I would not recover. Then I began tak- ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and be- fore long could see and feel that they were helping me. I gladly continued the use of the pills until I was com- pletely cured, and I cannot say enough in their praise, and I strongly recom- mend them to all run-down girls and women." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills from any dealer in medicines or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Why a Shoe Is Thrown After the Bride. Throwing a shoe after the bride is the survival of a custom based upon ancient symbolical usages in connec- tion with sandals or shoes. Delivery of a shoe Was used as a testimony in transferring a possession. A man plucked off his shoe and gave it to his neighbor, and this was a testimony in Israel. Throwing a shoe on property was a symbol of new ownership. From these ancient practices came the old English and Scottish customs of throwing an old shoe after a bride on her departure for a new hone, symbolizing that the parents gave up ell right or dominion over their daughter. In Anglo-Saxon times the father de- livered the bride's shoe to the bride- groom, who touched her On the head with it to show his authority. In Turkey the bridegroom is chased af- ter marriage by the wedding guests and pelted with slippers. .y. Mean Suggestion. "I can't think of. any way of killing tinge."

" Throw Away Your Eye -Glasses! FRENCH STUDYING RUSSIAN. . Free CIasses Opened to Help Promote After War Trade. M. Lyon -Caen of the Institut de France, and M. Huguet of the Sor- bonne, Paris, have opened free classes, in the study of the Russian language for young men and women engaged in commercial pursuits. The Paris Fig- aro, praising this course as a step in the right direction, says: "The Russian Ianguage is less dif- ficult than one. may believe, and at any rate it is not so difficult as Ger- man. Moreover, French exporters and importers will be glad to have employees who are capable of facil- itating their trade relations 'with an inexhaustible country whose resources the Germans have hitherto so well known." The Figaro also says that French victory in the field will be barren un- less it is followed by a commercial victory, in which the upbuilding •of Franco-Russian trade at the expense of Germany is all important.

It was like a miracle to me," A lady who used it says : "The atmosphere seemed hazy with or without glasses, but after using this prescription for fifteen dad's everything seems clear. I ran even read flue print without glasses." It is believed that thousands who wear glasses eau now discard them in a reason- able time, and multitudes more will be able to strengthen their eyes so as to be 'spared .the trouble and expense of ever getting glasses. Eye troubles of many de- scriptions may be wonderfully benefitted by following the simple rules. Here is the prescription : Go to any active drug store and get a bottle of Bon-Opto. Fill a two - ounce bottle with warm water, drop in one Bon-Opto tablet and allow to dissolve. With this liquid, bathe the eyes two to four limes daily. You should notice your eyes clear up perceptibly right from the start. and inflammation will quickly disappear. If your eyes are bothering you, even a little, take steps to save them now, before It is too late. Many hopelessly blind might have been saved if they had cared for their eyes in time.

In a recent address to the- Society of Civil Engineers of France, M. R. .Arnoux explained why soldiers are killed by the mere bursting of high - explosive shells. A pocket aneroid barometer that had been made un- serviceable by being too near a Ger- man shell when it exploded showed that, at a distance of less than three metres, the explosion had caused in the room where the instrument was placed a sudden barometric depression of at least 350 millimetres of mercury. Now, such a depression corresponds to a driving velocity in the air of 276 metres a second, and to a dynamic pressure of 10,360 kilograms a square Mitre. That sudden static depression of the surrounding atmosphere kills the men in the trenches, although it leaves them apparently uninjured. When the pressure of the/air decreas- es too suddenly, the air and carbonic acid that the blood holds in solution are disengaged in the form of minute gaseous bubbles, and are driven by the heart into the small arteries. If their. diameter is greater than that of the small arteries, they act, of course, as so many gaseous plugs., which in- stantaneously stop the circulation of the blood; and death occurs before goitre by the return of the atmospheric pres- sure to normal enables the blood to absorb them again. I3igh-explosive shells kill through a smaller radius than shrapnel, but they are more deadly, for within their radius of ac - Walsh, Ont.i tion no living being can escape.

For years he taught food chemistry, dietetics, and diseases of the diges- tive tract in one of the large medical, schools of the continent. In his ex- tensive experience in free clinics he worked out the formula for Dr. Jack- son's Roman Meal, a compound of whole wheat and rye, with deodorized flaxseed and bran. It nourishes better than meat, prevents indiges- tion and positively relieves constipa- tion or "money back." Ask your doctor. At all grocers, 10 and 25 cents.

The sergeant was very crusty, and, of course, had to preserve his dignity, but as he was walking along the trench he suddenly slipped, and plumped right down into the middle of the slush of water and mud. None of the„. men near him could resist a smile, but when he picked himself up he turned on Malone. "Well, what are you standing there looking like a jackass for? Do you see anything funny?" he bawled. "No, sargint," returned Malone, "but, begorra, share, and a' was just thinkin' how :funny,it would have been if it hail been somebody forby your- self."
