CHILDHOOD CONSTIPATION
Constipation that disordered state
of the digestive tract which is nearly
always caused by improper feeding—
can be readily regulated by the use
of Baby's Own Tablets. These Tab-
lets are a mild but thorough laxative.
They are easy to take and are abso-
lutely free from injurious drugs. Con-
cerning them. Mrs. Joseph Dion, Ste.
Perpetue, Que., writes; ---"I have noth-
ing but praise for Baby's Own 'Tab-
lets. When • my baby was three
months old he was terribly constipat-
ed but the Tablets soon set him right
and now at the age of fifteen months
he is a big healthy boy and this good
health I attribute. entirely to the use
of the Tablets." They are sold by
medicine dealers or by mail at 25
cents a box from The Dr. Williams'
Medicine. Co., Brockville, -Ont.
WHY DO THEY CALL IT PIN
MONEY?
This expression originally came
from the allowance which - a husband
gave his wife to pturchase pins. At
one time pins were dreadfuly ex-
pensive, so that only wealthy people
could afford them and they were sav-
ed
aved so carefully that in those days you
could not have looked along the pave-
ment and found a pin, which you hap-
pened to be in need of, as you can and
often do to -day.
By a curious law the manufacturers
of pins were allowed to sell them only
vn January 1.st and 2nd each year
and so when those days came around
the women whose husbands could af-
ford it, secured pin money from them
and went out and got their pins.
Pins have become so very cheap in
these'days that we are rather careless
with them, buts the expression has con-
tinued to live; although to -day when
used, it means any allowance of money
which a husband 'gives a wife for her
personal expee ..les.
Pins were knowne and used as long
ago at 1347 A. D. They were intro-
duced into England in 1540. In 1824
an American named Might invented a
machine for making pins which en-
abled them to be manufactured cheap-
ly. About 1,500 tons of iron and brass
are made into pins every year in the
United States.
SUPER -DETECTIVE OF THE
PUNJAB
John Paul Warburton, who died at.
Kasauli the other day, was ,one of the
greatest detectives of history, one of
the most powerful of British ser-
vants in . India, a terror to evildoers
throughout the Punjab. He is referr-
ed to by Kipling as the magician whom
Strickland was "foolish enough to
take for a model," and everybody
who has read "Plain Tales From
the Hills" will remember Strickland
who for a time became "Miss
Younghal's Sais." Of Warburton
Kipling said: "Now in the whole of
Zipper India there is only one man
who can pass for Hinciue or Moham-
median, hide -dresser or priest, as he
pleases. He- is feared and respected
by the natives from Ghor Kathri to
the Jamma Musjid; and he is sup-
posed to have the gift of invisibility
and executive control over many
devils. But this has done him " no
good in the eyes of the Indian Gov-
ernment." Some time later. the In-
dian Government. did officially re-
cognize the great work that had
been_ done by Warburton, and it is
presumed- that when he died he had
no reason to feel that he had been
neglected. But even if this were not
so one would gather from Kipling
that Indian civil servants have got
into the habit of being unrecognized
and that they would be. rather em-
barrassed if their -merits were offi-
t Tally proclaimed.
Warburton was an Afghan. ` His
mother was a lady famous for wealth
and beauty and a near relative of
the King of Kabul. Her husband
was a high court i offieial. But _ she
fell inlove with Robert Wwarburth ton,
an ensign of artillery,
she d eloped, taking along her limn
son, Jahan Dad Khan, They re-
mained in hiding until the husband
realizing that she was lost forever,
divorced her. Then she became War-
burton's wife, and the new husband
became the adopted father of the
boy, whose name. was changed to
John "Paul Warburton. In course of
time the adventurous couple had a
son, who became known to fame as
Sir Robert Warburton, author of
"Eighteen Year in the Khyber.",
The half brothers both entered the
Indian service, John Paul's natural
inclinations taking him to the police
department. He understood, the
Indian character as no Caucasian
could have done, and to this ad-
vantage ol; birth he added a .'genius
for the ;detection of crime, a fear-
lessness and a fine sense of honor,
that made him respected as well as
feared by the criminal classes of
India. He became known as "Wa-ar
Button Sahib," w'hIch was short-
ened to "Button Sahib," the name
about which countless legends have
grown in the past half century.
The most amazing ,gift of Button
Sahib's was perhaps his reading of
native faces. Time and time again(
after glancing at fifty suspected per-.
.sons, he would unerringly declare the

guilty man,. and naturally enough
as time went on his mere presence
would cause the superstitions crime
mals to confess themselves. A cor-
respondent of. the Lpnylon Times re-
ports an instance related to him by
a friend who was riding with "But-
ton" through a big Hindu fair. Sud-
denly "Button",stopped and ordered
a policeman to bring before .him an
ordinary looking man who was some
little distance away. The friend ask-
ed "Button" what he wanted with the
man, and he answered that he was
sure he was a criminal. Sure enough
when he was searched a set of bur-
glar's tools was found upon him,
slung by fine ,,cords over his bare,
-shoulders, under' his clothes. -'War-
burton had -never seen the man be-
fore. There was nothing to mark
him out as a -criminal„ but to the
uncanny gift of the 'Afghan detect-
ive guilt must have been written_ on
his face. Such exploits travelled all
over India almost as swiftly as'though
•
they had been published in the news=
papers, and year after year Warbur-
ton's fame increased.
His influence in a crown was
marvelous. Once at Amritsar when
the Mohammedans and Hindus
clashed and a bloody -riot seemed
imminent, Warburton leaped from
his carriage with the coachman's long
whip in his hand, roaring like a lion
"Scoundrels! What would ye do?"
The entire mob fled as one man,
stumbling over - each other in their
frantic efforts to escape. At Patiala
while the plague riots were raging in
1902. Warburton walked unarmed and
alone into a fanatical and frenzied
mob, and turned the tide of feeling
by his mere preseice and name. At
the, risk, of his life he rescued the
medical officer and hospital staff from
a burning house in which they had
taken . refuge from the rioters, who
were demanding their blood and who
were waiting for them to burn to
death or to come forth to certain.
murder. Once at Samarkand a :party
of Indian civilians came across a
Hindue who was waiting patiently
there for Warburton to die in order
that' he might return to India. It -
was not the Briitish race he feared,
but this single Afghan -whom millions
of Indian natives believed to be the
master of innumerable devils.
Warburton died in his -eightieth
year, of shock following a riding ac-
cident. The Times correspondent
says: "He was a great gentleman in
the old .sense of the word. The thing
that most struck those who came
into 'contact with him was that
though his whole life had been spent
in' the detection of crime, he, pre-
served a reinarkable simplicity of
character and a very great faith in
human nature to the end." The
writer questions whether it was pol-
itic for the Government to permit
the knowledge of Warburton's, death
to become general, so. great was the
influence of his name, but it seems
not unlikely that a return to the scene
of his activities after death will not
appear to the superstitious to be a
feat beyond the powers of Warburton.
One will now lookforward eagerly
to his biography, giving details of
his successful warfare upon bands
of dacoits, the detection of, Sharuf-
ud-Din and his gang of poisoners, of
the Ambala treasure theft, and of that
amazing performance, the elucidation
of the Rupalon murder
KEEP HEALTHY
DURING THE WINTER
case.
Cold and Diseases May be Avoided
if the Blood is kept
Pure.
Do not let your blood get thin this
winter. ' For people who have a ten-
dency towards anaemia, or bloodless-
ness; winter is a trying season. Lack
of exercise and fresh air, and the
more restricted diet are among the
many things that combine to lower
the tone of the body and deplete the
blood.
As soon as you notice the tired feel-
ing, lack of appetite and shortness of
breath that are warning symptoms of
thin blood, take a short course of
treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. Do not wait until the color
has entirely - left - your cheeks, until
your lips are` -white and your eyes
chill. It is so much easier to correct
thinning of the blood in the earlier
stages than later. This is well illus-
trated in the case of Mrs. E. Willi-
ams, Elk Lake, Ont., who says:—"I
take great pleasure in letting you
know the benefit I have found in the
use of Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, I was
in an aneamic condition, and was
very weak and run down. The least
exertion would leave me • breathless
and it was with difficulty that I did
household_ work. I was advised to try
Dr, Williams' Pink -Pills, and after the
use of four boxes I felt like, a new
person. In fact my system seemed
filled with new energy aid new life.
I strongly, recommend this medicine
to all who feel weak or run down."
The purpose of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills is to build up the blood. They
do this one thing and they do it well.
They are for this reason an invalu-
able remedy in diseases arising front
bneduralgia,
ar ia, cient after efie blood,

be free from opiates or any harmful
drug and cannot injure the most deli-
cate system.

As to Sugar.
Murmuring housekeepers and pro-.
testing breadwinners who clamor for
more sugar, are told to wait until
the "rainbow" sugar is received,
When the shortage will 'be relieved.
'This product of many colors is daily
awaited. In the meantime not a lit-
tle- discussion is going on as to the
style and origin of a somewhat un-
familiar compound, Older folk are
talking of the "red" sugar used in
the "watermelon" cake of other days;
some speak reminiscently of Lisbon,
"moist," Demarara "foots," (Musco-
vado, and other old-time names of
sugars. The "rainbow" is new to the
present generation of sugar consum-
ers, but that acolored.sugar is not
new any means is evident from a
passage in; "Old Cookery Books and
Ancient Cuisine" by W. Carew Has-
litt, which reads:
"The exact date. of the first intro-
duction of the latter (sugar) into
England continues to be a matter of
uncertainty.. It was clearly very
scarce, and doubtless equally dear,
when, in 1226 Henry III. asked the
Mayor of Winchester to procure him
three pounds of Alexandria sugar, if
so much could be got, and also some
rose and violet -colored sugar; nor
had it apparently grown much more
plentiful when the same prince or-
dered the sheriffs of London to send
him four loaves of sugar to Wood-
stock."
Only Males Throw Stones.
A stone thrown through the win-
dow of a moving railway train and"
wounding the passengers with brok-
en glass, leads the Lancet (London,
-Eng.) , to say "It was presumably'
thrown by a boy; the fusion. of the
sexes - has not yet got to the point
of producing a girl who can throw
a stone. Throwing seems to be a
natural impulse in. boys, or rather,
we should say, the desire to hit a
moving body with a .missile is uni-
versal among them, but the impulse
should be guided in.tlte direction of
wickets rather than trains." -
No Talking that Night.
"I can let you have a room on
the top floor, sir, if you don't mind
sharing it 'With another gentleman,"
said the boarding-house lady.
"All right. But do you suppose the
gentleman will retire . early? I'm in
need of sleep, and don't want to be
disturbed."
"You'll probably be able to get a
good night's rest before the gentle-
man comes in, sir. He's keen stop-
ping with us every September for six
or seven years, and this is the first
time he's ever made the trip without
his wife."
