LITTLE WORRIES
IN THE HOME
These J ing the Wrinkles .and
Pallid Kees That Make Women
Look Prematurely Old.
Almost every woman at the head
of a home meets daily many little
worries in her household affairs, The
caro of her little ones, the work
about the house all contribute to these
worries. 'Most of them may be too
small to notice an hour afterwards,
but they constitute a constant strain
that affects the blood and the nerves
and make women look prematurely
old. The effect of these little worries
may. be noticed in sick •or nervous
headaches, fickle appetite, tiredness
after slight exertion, and the coining
of wrinkles which every woman
dreads. To those thus afflicted Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills offer a speedy
cure; a restoration of color to the
cheeks, brightness to the eye, a hearty
appetite and a sense of freedom from
weariness. Among the many thou-
sands of Canadian women who have
found new health and strength
through these pills is Mrs. G. Stras-
ser, Acton West, Ont., who says:—
"I am the mother of three children
and after each birth I became terribly
run down. I had weak, thin blood, al-
ways felt tired, and unable to do my
household work. After the birth of
my third child I seemed to be.worse,
'tend was very badly run down. I found
the greatest benefit from the Pills and
soon gained my old time strength..rIn-
deed after taking them I felt as well
as in my girlhood, and could take
lileaeure in my work. T also used
Baby's Own Tablets for my little ones
and have found theme, splendid needle
vino for childhood ailments."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold
by all dealers in medicine, or you
can procure them by mail at 50 cents
a box or six boxes for $2.50 from

"ALL GONE."
f'.i!iidren Killed. in Explosion—Soldier
Husband Ailled on Duty. '
In one hospital T visited, where
beds were made up on the floors and
in corridors, I witnessed one of , the
most pathetic incidents in connec-
tion with the terrible munition fac-
tory explosion in January, says a
writer in the London News, .A wo-
men of the working class, her face
ennui to inquire for her two little
girls, aged 5 and 7 respectively. They
had gone on an errand for her and had
not returned. The police had advised
her to come to the hospital. In detail
the mother described the children's
clothing.
Yes, they had been admitted. She
identified the tattered little frocks.
:nntiy the meteors placed her arms
around the woman's waist, whispered
something to her, and led her to a
seat. Then the tears blinded her
eyes.
"My God!" she gasped. "All
gone!" The woman's husband had
died on the western battlefield, andre-
DAYLIGHT SAVING IS OLD..
And People Accomplished in. a Eeauti-
fully Simple Way,
Wliat a lot of agitation there is over
the "daylight saving" reform! Im-
ported from across the seas, it has
been hailed by superficial thinkers as
a new discovery. There are some who
rest not night or day in their zeal
to spread its adoption. They flatter
themselves that they aro pioneers of
a great advance. They presume too
much, They have nothing new, They
are seeking to' effect by dint of pon-
derous legislation, which presupposes
a great; wave of reform to set it in
motion, what their fathers brought
about in a very swift and simple way,
and that many years ago. Of course,
they were not slow to observe what a
lot of good time there is before break-
fast in the summer. They also knew
the tendency of people, especially
young people and hired men, to linger
in bed and waste this good time, So
they fixed it, They set forward the
clock 20 minutes, half an hour, an
hour, No agitation, no legislation.
Just turn the pointers, It did the
trick. By virtue of this sort of day-
light saving they were able to say to
the laggard son or the slow hired man
who turned up for work as late as 6
o'clock, "Where've you been all the
forenoon?"
Fooling "Sunny.
Hunan traits are constantly ap-
pearing in our domestic pets, much to
our own amusement. If we would
only profit by them as we observe
them! A real, full-blooded English
bulldog has been in our family . for
seven years, writes a Youth's Com-'
panion contributor, and as time goes
on we find hint more and more human.
One of his traits has amused us for
years. Sunny, as. the _dog has been!
appropriately named, is very particu-
lar about his food. Real, old -fashion -1
ed dog biscuit is beneath his dignity.
When a bowl of biscuit is put down
for his supper, he sniffs with disgust
and turns away. But resting convent-
ently close at hand is a little papier-
mache model of a bulldog that rejoices ;
in the name of Fido. All that we have
to do in order to bring Sunny back to
his bowl is to call "Here, Fido, Fido!"
and to put I"ido in front of the din-
ner. So long as he feels that some
other dog may possibly get the food, ;
Sunny will eat every crumb, and with;
a grunt of satisfaction nose Fido out i
of the way. Is not that precisely the
nature of some humans?
Y S .OWN_T BLETS
OF GREAT HELP.
Mrs. Wnx. Artlett, Ancaster, Ont.,
writes:—"I have used Baby's Own
Tablets for three years for my little
girl and baby boy. I have found ;
them of the greatest help during the
teething period and always keep '
them in the house." The 'Tablets aid I

Dangers That Lurk in Pins.
The pin is born with millions of
brothers and sisters, who leave home
to travel all parts of the world. On
their journey they come in contact
with us human beings and it might be
interesting to take up what sometimes.
happens when they do so.
Suppose a pin found its way into the
laundry of a shirt manufacturer. We
would be likely to hear of it, first in
the mouth of one of those folding the
shirt and preparing it for shipment.
This pin, as well es others, plight per-
haps be making its first intimate
acquaintance with the germ that pro-
duces sore throat. The shirt gets to
the consumer, who starts to make it
ready for use. For the second time
the poor pin finds the human mouth
again its abiding place. Possibly this
time it gets into an ulcerated mouth,
thence itg ets into the pin cushion or
some other receptacle.
The persons who handle these can-
not recognize disease germs by the
naked eye, and therefore the pin, with
its cargo of germs, is ready for a new
service, this time, perhaps, by a dress -
'maker. If she has the bad habit al-
ready alluded to she fills her mouth
with these pins while she cuts with her
patterns and fits various pieces to-
gether. This time for variation the
pin may have found lodgment in a
healthy mouth. Nevertheless, it is
not a pleasant fault, when you know
the pin's history thus far, to think of
!any one making such use of it.
Many a mother who uses pins in
fastening a child's dress together
does the same thing. By this time,
in the pin's life history, it is quite
well armed with spores of germs and
really is accountable for much harm.
along its path of travel. And now as
it is getting old and about ready to
close its life a little child may be
stricken with tonsilitis or diphtheria
or even scarlet fever, because some of
these di;;eases are easily communic-
able from throats so recently affected
by the disease that the danger is not
recognized. The presence of the
germs that have been 'referred to on.
the pin is a real danger, as the physt,
clan or laboratory, worker knows he
can plant these pins taken from
everyday use and plant them in .food •

ings and produce disease.
The habit of putting pins into the
mouth would not continue for a mo-
ment if every one knew this.
The moral of this little story is,
never hold pins in the mouth, as they
spread dissease, even fatal diseases.
CHEMISTRY AND AGRRICULTURE.
In the annual report of the Divi-
sion of Chemistry, Dominion Experi-
mental Farm, for the year ending
March 31, 1916, prepared by Frank T.
Shutt, M.A., D.Sc., Dominion Chem-
ist, and recently issued by the Do-
minion Department of Agriculture,
considerable attention is devoted to
the study of the subject of "Sugar
Beets for Factory Purposes."
In this report, Professor Shutt
states that this "investigation carried
on now a number of years, has eon -
elusively shown that beets of excel-
lent quality for sugar extraction c:an
be grown in many widely distant por-
tions of the Dominion." Among the
factors to be considered{ in sugar beet
growing, are the quality of the beet,
laborwith its availability and .:ost.
Considerable space is also given to
results of investigations carried on to
ascertain the delative value of field
roots. The results of these point out
clearly that care must be exercised in
selecting the variety, or varieties, of
field roots grown. In the analy is of
come 811 varieties of mangles the rich-
est root contained 18 per cent. dry
matter and 5.66 per cent. sugar, while
the poorest contained 7.82 per :ens.
dry matter and 2.86 per ecrue ever.
These great and important differences
represent real differences in reeding
values. The same is true with :n17-
'11418, , analysis, showing -that between
'the richest and poorest 0 some 30"
varieties there existed a difference of
5.58 per cent. dry matter, which, as-
suming that the feeding value is
measured by the percentage ;if dry
platter, means that 2,000 11,. of the
best variety are equivalent to 3,860
Ib. of the poorest. Further investiga-
tions were carried on with regard to
focldel's and feed.ng stuffs, and a
large number of fertilizing materials
were analyted during the year. The
report also contain:'; the 'result of in-
vestigational work with saertilizers
