Like 11l the Old World countries, France has never lost the custom or the lik- ing for these gatherings, where one can bargain for and buy everything from sausages to fire engines, The Poire de Saint Germain, for instance, dates back to the Middle Ages. It was even held in the same place then as Pow—the square before the Church of Bt. Felice—and its distinctive charac- ter has not been lost through the cen- turies. These are hard times, even in prance, and perhaps there is less buy - g now. But the people go in the ame numbers, and in the case of eat fairs, like the Foire de Paris, Which ended just a little while ago, they take their lunch and make a clay of It. • The Foire de Paris is the greatest pf all the annual fairs. One sees there p little of everything that the city pro- duces or trades in, whether it be a Rteel crane or some pate de foie gras. Covering many acres out at the Porte le Versailles on the edge of the city, it has its own great permanent build Ings. There are streets of booths— Ininiatu're shops, where one can buY ptything under the sun; whole blocks ftevoted to wines and liquors, others to ausages, another to rugs from Al- ers and still another to sweetmeats. ou can see the latest in dynamos, have some of the newest perfumes prayed at you or taste a sample of he goat's milk cheese which French - en have been eating even since there trere Frenchmen. The St. German. Fair, on the other hand, specializes. Conscious of its medieval beginnings, it puts on an an- cient air, and sells chiefly antiques and old jewelry, embroideries and pic- tiures. It is built like a miniature medieval city, with walls about it, booths made to copy quaint old shops, a theatre in the old style where they 'give medieval comedies and sing old French music, and hawkers, musicians and magicians in medieval costume. Then there are amusement fairs that go the rounds of the city, a - month here and a month there, from Spring until Autumn. They have their merry - go - rounds, fortune tellers, shooting galleries and candy booths. And one by one come the little spe- cial fairs—the Sausage Fair, the Wine Pair, the Flower Fair and many others. It must be good business, for the mer- chants would never dream of letting an opportunity go by for holding a fair, and it must be advantageous, for the housekeeper and the man in the street would never miss a chance of 'going to a fair, uules•s they go for the amusement, of which there is always plenty.

At the triroad intersection, often referred to as a "bottle -neck," cars frequently are stalled for several miles, particu- larly on Sundays and holidays. The task of directing traffic at this intersection is not an easy one. At night there is only the light from passing automobiles. The traffic offi- cer on duty in order to keep traffic moving must allot time to each route in rotation, and in so doing, has his back to one of the three roads at all times. It sometimes is difficult to see him. As a safety measure, a red lamp, which straps to his back, has been developed for his use.. Traffic halts when he turns his back to one of the intersecting routes. • Health is Wealth Says London "Spectator" We are learning gradually the les- son of the new patriotism—that -the first thing that should concern every Englishman about his country is the bodies and souls of its citizens, declar- ed the London (Eng.) Spectator last week. The bodies are in some respects easier to care for than the souls. If, in historic language, we recognize the inalienable right of every Englishman to life, liberty and the pursuit of hap- piness, the first task is to see that his outward existence is such as to make that triple aim in some measure real- izable. A CLINICAL TEST Proves That Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Quickly End Chronic Fatigue A girl student, pale and rniulown in health, was given a blood test on No- vember 15, 1932, The haemoglobin content of her blood was only 75 per Ment., her red corpuscle count was but '1,096,000. She was anaemic. The physician who examined her, ,Pink Pills and their usefulness in such lWho knew the formula of Dr. Williams' cases, told her to take two of the pills after each meal. This she did and one Month later had increased her haemo- tO S8 per cent, and her blood count to L. 288,000. She saki she had more strength and felt better. Two months later: both haemoglobin and corpuscle court were normal and she was well. When the haemoglobin content of your blood goes down your energy, vigor and strength go down. To re- store then you must build up your blood. That Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do this has been proved by many clinical tests like the one above.

It is not sufficient merely to clear it out of the system—it must be kept out. For 10 years this man has been free from the trouble:— "A bad attack of rheumatic fever 10 years ago laid me up for four months. When I started work I could not raise my right arm sufficiently to button my collar at the back. Having to get my own living, I became very anxious, because of my arm being so weak, so I started taking Kruschen Salts in small doses straight away, and have been taking it ever since. I am pleased to say I have not been troubled with rheumatism during this time. Although I am 61 years of age, I feel quite fit for my work."J. E. M. Kruschen dissolves away those needle -pointed crystals of uric acid which are the cause of all rheumatic troubles. It will also flush these dis- solved crystals clean out of your sys- tem. Then if you keep up "the little daily dose," uric acid will never form again. Loneliest Woman in London's Limehouse How many Chinese women are there in London's Limehouse today? Two hundred? One hundred? Fifty? Wrong! There is only one! She is Mrs. San Sani Sing, a love- ly but lonely little lady. Limehouse and Pennyfields have changed, and this is one of the sur- prising facts the reporter learned about the great transformation. Mrs, San Sam. Sing is a typical daughter of the Orient. Her husband keeps a general store in Limehouse Causeway, where all sorts of Chinese delicacies such as bamboo shoots, Sha Ho rice noodles, and dried lichen can be obtained. Mrs, Sing has tiny feet. Her dainty hands move in quick expressive ges- tures. She has a wealth of lustrous black hair, and almond eyes with lids that droop shyly when strangers are present. Scarcely ever does she stop to speak, for, although she has lived in Limehouse for several years, her knowledge .of English is still limited to a few simple words. To all her neighbors she is as much a mystery as on the first day she settled in their midst, ' "I feel awfully sorry for her," said one of her near neighbors. "Of course she is' very happy with her husband, but when he is busy in his shop she seems as lonely as a little orphan." Limehouse, Pennyfelds, once the sone of Oriental orgies and blood- thirsty fc?ads between rival tongs, where knives spelled swift and silent death! All that is a thing of the' past, Today the whole of the Chinese population numbers scarcely one hundred! It is no longer a warren of opium dens. In fact, in the whole of China., town there are now only three con. firmed opium smokers.

A subscriber writes in and wants to know if it's possible for an editor to tell the truth all the time. Yes, it's possible, but not safe. A man never realizes how many things he disaproves of until his own daughter reaches 16. Young Bride (calling from the pan- try)—"Dickey, I want you to bring me a mouse trap home to -morrow." Young Hubby — "But, Angel, I brought you one home yesterday." "I know, pet, but that oae has a mouse in it." Ripples A blotter absorbs everything and gives out nothing; don't be a b>,otter. After all, it isn't your needs that keeps yon broke; it is your wants. Before the ceremony he tells her: "how dif- ferent fihe is," but afterward he says: "you're just like all other girls." In any family discussion, the share -the - work movement is enthusiastically en- dorsed by mother. Too many people are looking for a soft way to get hard cash. The wise person wastes no time whining for things he knows he can't get. A girl who knows one boy understands them all, but a boy may know all girls and not understand one. The forgotten man is the waiter who used to be remembered after the meal. The best way for a man to keep silent is to have a quarrel with his wife. The less heart a man puts into a task the more labor it requires. An executive is one who gets paid for having sense enough to hire somebody else to do the work. Most of us would be will- ing to settle down if we were only able to settle up. .Many of us eat too nludh, talk too mach, and work and think too little. It's hard to say which gives the modern father the most gray hairs— trying to keep a son in college or try- ing to keep a daughter in clothes. Marjorie — "I take half an hour beauty sleep every afternoon." Clarice—"You should make it longer, darling," Beautiful girls are more plentiful than intellectual ones, and a grouch remarks that this is in keeping with the demand. We hear a good deal about will power. But, after all, what good does will power do? A mule has will power, but who wants to be a mule? Now they tell us that the back of her neck is the safest place to kiss a girl. We never had any hint that the idea of safety entered into the matter at all. Helen—"My word; Dick, you've got the latest thing in typists!" Dick ---"She's certainly that. She never gets bore .until eleven." The conceited young man who had stayed rather late playing bridge was given a lift to the station in his host's car. "1 hope," he said to the chauffeur, "that 1 won't miss the last train." "You won't, sir," said the driver, sig- nificantly. "The governor told me he'd give ine the sack if I brought you back," The following correction appeared in a provincial paper: "Our paper stated last week that Mr. John Doe is a defective in the po. lice force. This was a typographical We are in a position to Pay you the Highest Possible Price for Your WOOL The Canadian Wool Company Limited 2 CHURCH ST., TORONTO - "THE LARGEST HANDLERS OF WOOL IN CANADA" error, Mr. Doe is really a detective in the police farce." A little boy was saying his prayers in a very low voice. "I can't hear you, dear," his mother whispered. "Wasn't talking to you," said the youngster, firmly. A bachelor was engaging a maid to assist his housekeeper. "Now, as to your evenings out," he said, "I'm prepared to meet you—" "Oh, you needn't worry about that," put in the girl. "My young man will see me home." Doctor Specifies Types of Surgical Risks London.—Speaking of operations, are you a good surgical risk? In other word's, what are your chances of mak- ing a comeback after you've been under the knife? It depends pretty much upon your social status, your occupation, upon whether you're fat or thin, and upon a lot of other things, Dr. A. Basil Rooke, writing in the current Practi- tioner lists a few of them. Jews and Welshmen have the worst record, he finds. Upperclass patients generally have less chane than their social inferiors. Clergymen, doctors, and nurses are bad patients. HEAVY PEOPLE POOR RISKS. Lightly -built and wiry persons are better risks than the heavily -built and muscular. Very thin persons, how- ever, are poor risks owing to t'neir high metabolic rate (in lay terms: the rate at which they burn up energy) and lack of nutritional reserve. The "skinnier," at the same time, can be operated upon more rapidly than the "fatties." Generously -larded patients present an especially bad prospect for abdominal surgery. As a rule, writes Dr. Rooke, the higher the social status, the worse the operative risk. This he attributes to in -breeding and' over -development. Skunks Like Honey London,—Skunks continue to ravage the Belmont locality and 17 hives of bees were destroyed recently at the Layfield Farquhar Apiary. According t'o local naturalists, the skunks scratch on the hives and when the bees emerge they are caught with one paw, the skunk meanwhile holding the other paw over its eyes to avoid being stung. Poi*'ned eggs were set, and five skunks were found dead nearby. GOLD GOLD Turn your discarded jewelry into dol- lars.
