Flawless emeralds weigh.. ing more than four carats are among the rarest jewels; a perfect stone or four carats is virtually priceletia, whereas a diamond of equal weight would bring only $1,000 to $2,000. It is probable that all the emeralds. of the ancients carne from the so aped Cleopatra emerald mines id Upper Egypt, worked as early es 1650 B.C., abandoned and lost sight of during the Middle Ages, but re. discovered early in the nineteenth century. Many virtues were once ascribed to this stone; when worn. it was held to be a preservative against epilepsy and other ailments. It was also valuablet as a charm against evil spirits. The crystals are simple in. form; merely hexagonal prisms attached at one end to the trix, with usually a. flat face at right a.ugles to its axis on the other end. They .are invariably flawed, so much so that a "flawless emerald" has become a proverb expression for unattainable perfee- tion. The largest engie crystal, said to-.

CONSTIPATED CHILDREN Childhood constipation can be quick- ly banished through the use of Baby's Own Tablets. These Tablets are a, mild, but thorough laxative, which never fail to regulate 'the bowels, sweeten the stomach and in this way relieve all the minor Ills of little ones. Concerning them Mrs. Eugene Cou- ture, Knox Bridge, Que., writes: -- `Baby's Own Tablets have been mar- vellous in, the case of my baby. She was constipated and feverish but the'. Tablets soon regulated her bowels am made her well." The Ta lets are, sold by medicine dealers or ;lly mail at 25 cents a box from The Pr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. FONCIS FRANCE'S ACE IN THE / HOLE. Rene Fonck has now won for him- self the position in the Frenoh air service that was held by the heroic Guyneaner before his death. It was' Fonck who downed Wissemaii, the German who killed Guynemer in his first flight. The fact that this novice killed one of the greatest flying men developed in the war shows that there must be a cnsiderable element of luck in air fig ting or else that Guy- nemer was a azingly careless. Per- haps Guynemer knew that he was op- posing a novice and did not take the combat as seriously as though he, had been pitted against a German ace, for Fonck says that directly he engages a pilot he can tell just what action to take, he can recognize the quality of the enemy. He never fought Richt- hofen, greatly to his regret, but says that if he had he IN,ould have known it in ten seconds, and no doubt Richt- hof en would also havebeen aware that he was dealing. with a foeman worthy of his steel. The way a -pilot handles his machine is an unfailing indica- ton of his class. Fonck was flying before the war. and got his pilot's certificate after two months' training under the fam- ous Pegoud. At first he was employ- ed as a scout and in photographing the enemy's position. In this work he was not supposed to look for trouble, but one day when hard 'Pressed by the Germans he shot two of theta. In a week he got three more, thus becoming an ace and be- ing mentioned in the comuniques. eche mcareer has been a remarkable one. Ute to the first of th month be - bad dowz* 42 planes, and it is quite likely that lits score has been since: -added to. Almost aS remark- ' able is the fact that Fonek has ,never had a scratch or a bruise, and only once was he forced to land. That was ' on the Soma in 1.916, When he was flying about 50 yards over the ..German infantry He was Bred on and one bullett shattered the fusilage half an inch from his left ,•hand. His machine was riddled, but Vonck made a landing between the , lines, and, leaving his plane, he crawled. ed. back tosafe ty. Fonck is considered to be the per- fect type of aviator, 1918 model, Which differs from earlier models just as the planes differ. He is the cool, calculating type of fighter who will never take a chance if he can avoid it, and will manoeuvre out of danger'my time. he does not think the odds are in; his favor. He is a great ace because of his ability to make the odds in his favor so often, just as it is the expert billiard player who appears to- have all the easy shots. Niingesser, Fonck's greatest rival, 'Is said by a writer in the New York Times to represent the 1916 t"rne of ace, a flyer who rises on the spur of the moment and tackles anything. that comes his' way. ' Fonck says that he will not fly unless he- feels in perfect form, for he realizes that till! would be give ing the enemy too ,much advantage, and, as remarked, it is strongly against. Fonck's principles to make any concession to the enemy. He is the sort of man who could not be taunted or goaded into a fight until he was quite ready. In appearance Fonek is in strik- ing ' contrast to Guynemer, who had the graceful slimness of a girl. His successor is rather short and thick set, loot inn more like a college ath- Mete. a differs ',from most flying en in . that he is without super- stition, and'• does not even decorate his plane. He does not drink; he smokes little; he is almost a fanatic in hitt insistence upon perfect physi- cal condition -for the aviator. He observes that in an attack it is ne- cessar- to think carefully, and for :each fight there a plan of cant- oaigA. r If the Pin is not clear to the 'flyer, he must wait untilit be - •comes clear, even if it involves get- ting away from danger. Just as ball plaYers insist that there comes a moment when the game "breaks," the critical instance when the chance to win or lose is seized or overlooked. Fonck says that that moment comes in a fight between •aviators. The man whose plan is perfectly clear in his own mind can wait with the utmost confidence the arrival of this moment which delivers his =enemy into his hand, that is, of course, pro- viding the enemy has not also his own plans laid out and the technical skill to put them into effect. He says that the time has gone when an aviator can wait at a great height, dive at his enemy and then abandon the contest if he misses his mark. Today aviators must fight close, and the one who is successful is he who is the master of his ma- chine. He lays emphasis onn, this point, and says that while nine fly- ing :nen out of ten are dependent upon their mechanics for the con- dition of their planes, he supervises everything. An ace wh can inspect his own machine critically will soon have the best machine in the group, and thus his chance of victory -in a. combat are incre sed, for manoeu- vering is the ehie - suing and success- ful mannoeuvring .depends upon the perfect cont,rgi. at the plane. Speak- ing of an eng nt with several enemies .Foneonck says that miter all ane fights separate battles. To turn =from one .enemy eo another is dan- gerous. the policy is to select the enemy that appears the easiest vic- tim, and then work through the lot until one gets ".up to seven, after which it is time to call it a day and- go- home. ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN 11 Woman suffrage has been rejected in Hungary. China had women. soldiers long be- fore they were known in Russia. American colleges have offered 100 scholarships to French women, - The poorest paying job for women in Japan is that of elementary school teachers. - Campridge University in England now admits women to full member- ship the same as men, In France the working hours of fe- male munition' workers is limited to ten hours a day. It is estimated that after the war there will be 1,100 womea for every 1,000 me nin Germany. Over 100,000 women are enrolled for definite service in the National League for Woman's Service. It is estimated that 400,000 women in this country will be compelled` to register under the alien enemy act. Thi woman's division of the federal employment service has placed 44,471 women in jobs throughout the Uuited States. 'Many Russian women, formerly of the nobility, are reduced to selling newspapers in the streets of Petro- grad. Under the new wage schedule for railroad employees, women who do the same work as men will receive the same pay as man. Wage- earning women and minors in Kansas are assured proper hours, Arc Want >r ' >,1.5.♦i . C01A0Ji40:44:44t e.K14A+J: •:".y.OY.♦i+ �.4444� .t , OW infinite in, faculty is mats 1 said Hamlet.

Think how Interesting it would be to pief up one's morning paper and read of the latest happening on, Mars or Venus. Such an achievement would not be so very much. more wonderful than "wireless." Might we not learn how to telegraph, er even telephone,' to Venus along ai light -ray? We ought s rely to find out before long how to h mess the sun. If we .cannot do that, we may harness the moon 'by machinery that will utilize the power of t + e tides. But, while we are waiting for these great things, t -ere are many smaller ones that invi ,attention — leve-n- tfone that are anted, but which have thus far eluded the rnakere of new ideas. - An. elastic glass, that will not break easily— ow about that? The ancients are sad to have known how to make such glass; but, if they could, the art as been lost. A rela- tively infrangi le tumbler or wine- glass would be a great comfort. Another thing badly needed is a: fireproof paper (of asbestos or other* material) that will take ink from a: ' 1 pea, and not blur. It is required for deeds and othervaluable documents. How about an artificial rubber?' With it the s tuition is much the• !' same. When Cdlumbus arrived in the.

THE DANGER' OF THIN .BhOOD. IF NOT CORR CTED IN ITS EAR- LY STAGES CONSUIMPTION` MAY FOLLOW. In no disease is delay or neglect more dangerous than anaemia, a pov- erty of the blood. It is very common in young girls and in persons who are overworked or confined within doors. It makes its approach in so stealthy a manner that it is often well dei,eloped before its presence is recognized. But taken in time there is a eppci- fic, a tonic medicine which increases the number of red blood corpuscles thus enabling the blood to carry the life-giving orxgen to all the tissues of the body. Di. Williams' Piik Pills have had unbounded success in the treatment of this stubborn disease because of this wonderful property. The correction of, anaemic cvonditions by Dr. Williamx ' Pink Pills is as cer- tain as anything- in medical . sciences. Miss Jessie McLean, Trenton., N. S., says: "I was as weak as it was possi- ble for anyone Ito'be, and yet be able to go about: My blood seemed to have turned a1xt ost to water. I was pale, the least exertion would leave me breathless, and when I went up. stairs I would have to stop and on the way. I often had severe - head- aches, and at times .myheart would palpitate alarningly. A good friend urged, me to tri Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I have reason to be grateful that I took the advice. Soon after. beginning the use of the Pills I began to get stronger and by the time I had taken seven b' xes I felt that I was again enjoying good health. I think Dr. Williams' ink Pills are a blessing to weak girls, and I shall always warmly recommend -them." These pills ere sold by all medicine dealers or will be sent by mail at 50c a box or six boxes 'for $2.50 by The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ontario. ermemelemeteeenteempemereret Stewart Bros.
