SUMMER HEAT
HARD ON BABY
No season of the year is so dan-
gerous to the life of little ones as is
the summer. The excessive heat
throws the little stomach out of ord-
er so quickly that unless prompt aid
is at hand the baby may be beyond
all human help before the mother re-
alizes he is ill. Summer is the seas-
on, when diarrhoea, cholera infan
tum, dysentry and colic are most
prevalent. Any one of these troubles
may prove deadly, if not promptly
treated. During the summer the
mothers best friend is Baby's Own.
Tablets. They regulate the bowels,
sweeten the stomach and keep baby
healthy. The Tablets are sold by
medicine dealers or by mail at 25
cents a box from. The Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

PRINNCE'S COMPANIONS ARE
YOUNG MEN. •
Canadian officers who niet the Prince
of Wales in England. 'or. France—and
there are hosts of them—agree that
he is a most likeable and unaffected
chap, who will do his best to have a
good time while lig • is • Canada and
the United States. Nor would the
most strait-laced begrudge it to him,
for it is not to -be forgotten that he
has been tinder the strain of tva,r for
five years, and is entitled to all the re-
laxation that he • can. ge't. The Prince
is not making the error that was.
made by hisa grandfather, when he
visited Amer(ca about -sixty years
afro, for mot 'of his considerable en-
courage is /made. up of men about
his own age. But the other Prince
of Wales was surrounded by men
cold enough to be his father, all care-
fully and prayerfully selAated for
hind by eche Prince Consort. They

t' raveling royalty.
Hia chief attendant and mentor
t _ll be Sir Sidney Greville, a young -
brother of the Earl of Warwick; and
Sir Sidney will divide his responsi-
i nitres - with Lord, Claud Hamilton,.
t..»• latter a fellow officer with the
Iheiir:=_•e in the Grenadier Guards. Sir
;Sidney. who is not to be confounded
a. ith the t�haractt r in the fMiitt and.
,
.i: rr artoons, was a member" of King.
:Edward's household, both- before and
;after his accession, and was the King's
intimate. companion.' He began his of-.
facial career as private secretary to
':r John Gorst, when the latter was
Under Secretary of State for India,
but in r ,short time had. attracted
Tern eperoving regard of Lord Salis-
i•;ury, , whc' Invited hien to become
e , of his private secretaries. He
proved invaluable for attending to
aa those soeial duties which the
• w alieburys so heartily disliked, and
remained with Lord Salisbury both
in and out of office. Later he was
made equerry ,to King Edward, who
'velaGillen Prince of Wales, and on
hie' ascending the throne was ap-
pointed private - secretary to' Queen
Aleazanclra. 'Under King George he
-was made eventually comptroller of
the Royal household, and chief
mentor to the Prince . of :Wales. Sir
Sidney Greville" is a man of mature
years, sound judgment and boundless
tact.
More a contemporary of the Prince
is Lord Claud Hamilton, who won a
D. S. O. in the present war by con-
spicuous gallantry, The Hamiltons
have long been closely associated with
the royal family, and the father of
Lord Claud the Duke of Abercorn, was
chief of the Household of Edward
VII. until' his accession, and after-
wards was one of the Lords -in -Wait-
ing. Lord Claud's aunt, the late
Duches. of _ Buccleuch, .was Grand
Mistress of the Robes, and of 'the
Household .of Queen Victoria, and later
filled- these critical roles for Queen
Alexander. Lord Claud is familiar
with court life, and is one of the
•
mast intimate personal friends of
the Prince. Another equerry who,
'like Lord Claud, was = the alinost
constant companion of the Prince
'of Wats at the fronts is paptain,
the •Hon. Piers Legh, whose name,'
we =are informed by Cunliffe -Owen,
an authority • on ell such matters, is
pronounced Lee. -
He belongs to the Grenadier Guards,
was a former A. D: C. to the Duke of
Connaught, and is a younger son of
Lord Newton. The latter belongs to
that rather restricted' group that can
boast of being. on terms of intimacy
with King George and Queen Mary.
Lord Newton is hardly the sort of -
man . one would expect to find in this
exalted position„ for he has been call-
ed the •Labouchere of the House of
Lords: witty, unconventional, a hum-
orous., philosophical philosopher: .A
Conservative in politics he is indif-
ferent to party discipline, and fre-
,quently has acted and voted in op-
position to his, leaders. On one mem-
orable occasion, he thus apostrophized
the Marquis, . of Lansdowne: "We
have the most profound admiration
fex Your character. We respect you
as a man, as a husband and as a
father. But as regards your orders
we propose to act in a precisely dif-
ferent direction." He said that Lord.
Rosebery was a "sort of political prima
deanta.r which we consider a lordly
joke. and suite ahthrilling as his des-
cription of the House of. Lords as
a' "hybrid between . registry office
and a debating society." It is said
that Captain .Legh has inherited the
aide -splitting characteristics .of his
father,and can acceptably fill in as
inodern Y orick.
It is perhaps not understood what
responsibilities are upon the men
chosen_ as the companions . of - a
future King. If in . any manner he
gets in wrong, to blame is placed
upon the shoulders of those who are
supposed to advise - him. Yet they
cannot control, but can merely sug
gest. However. these , are English
gentlemen, and have an English
gentleman to deal with which is some-
what different • to having a German,
Prince to escort. Nevertheless,- the
experience is a. new. one, and might
well be trying for. the Prince. In
Canada. of course, he will be at home
and among old friends. In the United
States he will be in a different environ- -
nient, but there will have the value
of the advice of Col. Sir William Wise-
mar, who served two _years at the
front, and then came to the United
States to be the chief liaison officer
between . that country and Great
Britain. He has the confidence and the
friendship of the President and the
chief members of the administration,
and the arrangements for the Prince's
visit are largely in his competent
hands.
DELICATE YOUNG GIRLS -
Need New Red Blood to Give
.. Them Health and Strength.
Does your daughter inherit a' deli-
cate organization from you? The
anaemia, of young girls may be inher-
ited, or it .young
be caused by bad. air,
unsuitable food, hasty and irregular
eating, insi ficient out-of-door exer-
cise and net enough rest and sleep.
It comes on gradually, beginning
with languor, indisposition to mental
or 'bodily exertion, irritability add a
fee_iiig of fatigue. Later .comes pal-
pitation of the heart, headache dizzi-
ness following a stooping position,
frequent headaches and breathless-
ness, In a majority of cases consti-
pation is present. There may be no
great loss of flesh, but usually the
complexion takes on ,a greenish -yel-
low pallor. -
Cases of this kind, if • neglected, be-
come 'serious; -but if taken in time
there is -no need to ayorry. The treat-
ment .is ciente easy and simple. Dr.
tea i!Iiains' Pink Pills, which are Tree
from any .harmful- or habit-forming
drug, are -just the tonic needed to
remedy this wretchedd-state of :health.
Tlioug-h it is not noticeable improve-
ment actually begins with the -first
dose. As the blood is made rich .and
red,- the palor leaves the face, strength
aid activity gradually return and if
the treatment is continued until the
last symptoms disappears, the danger
off' a relapse is very slight.
If any symptom of anaemia ap-
pears, prudence suggests that Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills should be given
at once, and the sooner they are taken
the more speedily will the trouble be
lwercome. You can get these pills
through any dealer in medicine, or by
mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes
for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
District of Nakhichevan,
Which Noah Made Famous,
Had Its Part in Great `War
EVER heard of Nakhieheven?
Well, first consult Genesis
XII -4, for the district In
question lies at the foot of
Mount Ararat, and the town of Nai-
liichevan contains the alleged grave -
1 Yard of Noah. The builder of the
ark, local tradition affirms, went
down into the land and died of thirst
it -the parched plain after his ark
.had broken up on the snowy peak of
the world's most famous mountain.
The Nawhlchevan district, inhabit-
ed by Tartars, if bounded; on the
north by the Armenian district of
Erivan. It is bounded on the south •
by -the Arax river, which is the sub-
ject of many an Armenian song, and
which here forms the boundary be-
tween Asiatic Russia and Persia. In
the -hills to the northeast is Shusha,
a strong Armenian centre, where the
Armenians held out against a circle
of foes in the summer of 1918.
When Russia's power in the Cau-
casus declined and the soldats flowed ,
back and forth from thesformer Rus-
sian front in Turkey through the
Nakhichevan district,' the Traditional
hatred between the Armenians of the
Erivan district and the Mohammedan
Tartars broke out. This closed the
carriage road to Tabriz and later
closed the railway.
At great risk several members of
the American committee for Armen-
ian and Syrian relief committee, with
headquarters at Erivan, went to Ta-
briz and brought back several million
roubles in a train that was so crowd-
ed with retreating .Russian soldats
that one -of the committee members,
upholstered with hundreds of. thou-
sands of roubles, was forced to sleep
on the roof of the car in a tempera-
1 •tune near zero. Within a week the
railway service was stopped by Ar-
menian Tartar fighting.
The uprising of the Nakhi4hevan
! Tartars was ill-timed. German
pro-
pagandists had 'placarded the district
with posters exhorting these Tartars,
who are related to the Turks and are
of the sante religion, to arise against.
the Armenians, whom the retreating
Russians had left to their own de-
vices. This they 'did. But the Ar-
i ienians.had spent the winter in rais-.
ing an army to take over the former
Russian front and about 25,000 of
these vollanteers were assembled in
Erivan. " . • -
The Tartars advanced along the
railway (Tiflis - to Tabriz) and met
serious resistance first at Nakhich-
evan. -There was some spirited fight-
ing and the Tartars were soon de-
feated and at least one well was fill-
ed. with their dead bodies. Women
and children were not touched by the
Armenians. By circling between.
Kamarlyu and Mount Ararat along
the wide lain of the Arax, the Tar-
tars rear ed the junction of Ulu-
khanlu a d burned the railway sta-
tioner .also o cuttin
th s g the Indo-
Europeanl telegraph line which joins -
Tiflis to the rest of the world. This
necessitated the sending of Vice -Con-
sul Doolittle to ;'Teheran in order to
establish connection with Washing-
ton at a tine when all Americans
were being forced to leave Tiflis. -
':When I crossed the Igdir`' plain,
where Armenians are starving to-
day," says M. O. Williams, the Amer-
ican traveler, "these much persecut-
ed .people were having` their innings
and the smoke from .a score of burn-
ing Tartar :tillages could be seen.
Tartars with arms were allowed to
live if they surrendeted their guns
and women and children were not
touched, but their villages were loot-
ed and burned by the Armenians.
This was in March, 1919. All the
Tartars retreated to the Nakhichevan
district where they formed a majority
of the population. There they have
remained. Hatred between them and
the Armenians is strong, but due to
the greater strength of the Armen-
ians there are no atrocities.
"The whole problem- is made diffi-
cult by the diversity of the popula-
tion.' In, the mountain villages the
Kurds are most numerous. A strong
hand will - be necessary to control
these several tribes. The Kurds
have been forced tct be butchers by
the Turks, who !gave them guns as
their only tools and who kept ,agri-
culture" and education from them.
Their, condition is as bad as that of
the Armenians and when I crossed
the Turko-R,ussian boundary I saw
scores of Kurds with only bne gar-
ment and barefoot at an altitude of
7,000 feet in March."
Criminals Do Not Dream.
People who dream may rest assur-
ed that they are not possessed Of a
criminal mind. The'criminal does not
dream. He is essentially a man of
action whose mind never wanders
from purposes to morals, and conse-
quently his sleep is undisturbed by
any nightmare or hallucination.
Such is the fact proved by a group
of investigators. Their records show IN
that• Of /25 proven criminals under -
cbservation not one was disturbed in
any way in his :slumbers. These ob-
servations were taken while the •
criminals were 1ying in. their cells,
the time when ghosts of the past,
should visit them, if at all.
The `discovery that they do noth-
ing of the `kind is the more startling
because it has always been a popular
belief that wrongdoers are haunted
at night by their crimes. But appar-
ently the novelists who led us to this
supposition are at fault. The truth
would seem that the average crim-
inal enjoys a slumber as sweet and
dreamless •-as that of any innocent
child.—Tit-Bits.
