The days are change- able—one bright. the next one cold and stormy, that the mother is afraid to take the children out for the fresh air and exercise they need so much. In Consequence they are often copp- ed up in overheated, badly ventilated rooms and are soon seized with colds or grippe. What is needed to keep the little ones well is Baby's Own Tablets. 'Phey will regulate the stomach and bowels and drive out colds and by their use the baby will be able to get over bhe winter season in perfect safety. The Tablets are soli by medicine dealers or by mail at -25 cents a. box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Go„ Bttxkville, Onr, ZURICH Howard—Weseloh.--A quiet, but but pretty wedding was solemnized in St. Peter's Lutheran church, Zurich, on Wednesday. the 29th of December. at high noon, when Miss Veda C, Wescloh the second eldest daughter of 5h•. and Mrs. H. Weselub, was united in marriage to Mr. It. Howard. of 14'indsor. The ceremony was performed by Rev, 11. Rrmbr in the :presence of only the immediate relatives of the eow.r:ecring To the stralrIlbof the wedding march, of Lohengrct, played by .hiss t'e•Ita Bess, the bridal party entered liar• church, the held„ leaning on the nrr of her laths, who gave her sway. She wore a gown of white' satin, beautiful wreath of pearls was ar• lunged with delimit,. tulle veil, and a shower of whit, carnations and ferns caught with a bow of duchess ribbon was carried. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Selma. who wore a gown of pale blue satin. trimmed with French lace, with taupe picture hat, and wearing a corsage of roses caught with a bow of blue duchess ribbon. The groom was ably supported by Mr. W. Schroeder, of Dashwood. The bridal party left the church to the sweet strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march. After receiving congratulations, the party repaired to the home of the bride's parents where a sumptuous wedding dinner was served. Mr. and Mrs. Howard left in the afternoon for London, Toronto and other eastern points to spend the honeymoon. The bride's travelling costume was of navy blue tricotine with sailor hat to match. The groom's gift to the bride was a handsome string of pearls; to the bridesmaid, a lavalier, set with pearls; and to the groomaman, a gold tie pin. WHEN IS A WOMAN OLD? "A woman is old after she is 95." This statement was made a day or two ago by a Prominent Washington woman who has a very extensive knowledge of women in industry. The question put to her was this: "When do you think that a woman is too old to start out in work? In other words when is a woman old?" And the woman who knew went on to say that she had known miy a woman who was young at e1 ' and sixty-five. Yet, how often a woman of sixty is deterred from some really big achievement in life all because she feels herself ftno old to begin! Often a woman isn't freed from family duties to follow her own inclinations, to realize a desire of a lifetime, till she is sixty, and then she, hesitates, looks anxiously in the mirror, in a very exacting mirror in a bright light that reveal- every wrinkle—and as- sures herself sadly that she is• too old, that for her the future holds the possibility of nothing but an easy chair and a fireside, a set of knitting needles and a poodle dog. And per- haps there are twenty-five years of active life still before her, fifteen years when she will still be in her fullest mental vigor. Fifteen years! What can't a wo- man do in fifteen years. From the time she is twenty till she is tilrirty- five, in fifteen years, the great actress or opera singer rises from obscurity to the height of fame. In fifteen years millions have been amassed from an empty pocketbook. In fifteen years office boys. have become corporation Meads, and obscure col- lege professors have reached tike White House. THE ELEPHANT'S TRUNK There is a great deal of misunder- standing about what an elephant can do with his trunk. It is a sensitive brgan and he never uses it for heavy labor, but he can strike a terrific blow With it. I have seen many a man's ribs and arms broken when,'he neglect- eo to take the proper predantions. In approaching a dangerous elephant, a man should come ugl sideways, with the nearer arm folded to proteot the ribs. Then, if the elephant strikes, ke should try to catch the blow on the upper pant of the aria, where there is the most flesh to protect the bone. Such a blow never knocks a man flat; it sends him spinning like a top until he tumbles over. The elephant uses both his trunk i and his lungs in calling, and he has a large variety of sounds and combina- tions of sound with which' to express himself. When rushing an enemy, he trumpets shrilly; when enraged by wounds, he grumbles hoarsely from his throat; he expresses fear by a shrill, brassy trumpet and a roar; and pleasure by a continued low squeak- ing through the trunk. When appre- hensive of danger or when attempt- ing to intimidate an enemy, he raps the end of his trunk arnartly on the ground and trumpets. The peculiar noise sounds like that produced by the rolling up of a sheet of tin. Irl a moment of danger, the ele- phant coils his trunk to protect it from injury. When he is engaged in heavy work, such as piling lumber, he may use his trunk to balance the load he is carrying on his tasks, but never to bear part of the burden. If an unharnessed elephant must pull a rope, he holds it in his mouth, taking good care to keep his trunk out of the way. It has been witnessed many times that an elephant keeper --nut a trainer, for a trainer knows better— i has used a hook a little too freely on an elephant's trunk. if he doesn't get killed, he picks himself up several yards from where he was standing. A trainer is invariably pleased at such an oreurrence because Et shows that the keeper was abusing the elephant and bus merely received his deserts. The elephant is a good, faithful anima! and he does not at- tack his keeper without excuse. Will' iS A TRAITOR CALLED .1 T('RNCO A'1' History, which has played a lead- ing role in' the formation of many words which are familiar to us to- day, is directly responsible for the term "turncoat" as applied to a 11'111tor lir arlyntle' w'itn deserts 0110 cause in order to join the opposite party. Phis peculiarly appropriate desig- nation owes its origin to Em- manuel, one of the first dukes of Savoy, whose dominions lay be- tween the contesting houses of Spain and France, and who was, on this account, forced to temporize and fall in with the schemes of which- ever party appeared to be in the ascendency. Being so frequently obliged to shift his allegiance bhe Duke had a coat made which was blue on une side and white on the other and might be worn with either side out. When, in tile interests of diplomacy, he thought it best to side with the Spaniards, Emmanuel would wear the blue %rife outermost, while, if he was working with the French, his coat would appear to be white. It was for this reason that he gain- ed the surname of the "turncoat," in order to distinguish him from other dukes of Savoy also named Em- manuel --and bhe term has come down unaltered, to this day. FRAGILE, PALE AND MISERABLE The Melancholy State of Thous- ands of Bloodless Children and Young Girls. How often do you hear the remark, "She is very delicate?" How often it means that some young woman is liv- ing in misery, suffering from periods of prostration, dizziness, loss of appe- tite and disordered digestion. Head- aches afflict her at intervals; pain in the back and limbs follow any exer- tion. She is never really well. This fragile state of health, this lack of vitality, calls for prompt treat- ment. The blood must be nourished and made strong enough to vitalize the system that is so lacking in en- ergy. in such cases Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have proved remarkably successful in making the new, rich, red blood necessary in restoring tone to the.system. Mrs. L. M. Duncan,South Mountain, Ont., tells of the wonderful benefit Dr. Williams' Pink Pills made in the case of her young daughter. She says: "Lt is only right that I should let you know of the good de- rived from the use. of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills by our girl of eleven years. She was always very thin and not gaining in weight. Her appetite was poor and she had no desire for whole- some food. Finally we decided to give her Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After taking one box she went away on a three weeks' vacation, taking three boxes of pills with cher, which she took regularly while she was away. When she returned home we were surpristed and delighted to see how well she looked, and to find that she had gained seven pounds in weight. She had a much better color and her appetite had improved so that she was always'ready for her meals. She continued using the pills until she had taken seven boxes, and the great im- pro'remeivt they made in her condi- tion was noticed by many around here. I can only add that I believe Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills are a s+pleitaid medi- cine." The best time to begin ;taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is the moment you feel the least bit out of sorts. The sooner you do so the sooner you will regain your old time energy. You can get these pills through any Medi- cine dealer or by mail at 60 cents a box or six boxes for 42.60 from The Dr, Williams' Medicine C,o., 'Brock- ville, Ont. ' . Midwinter Mier Reduced in..
