A SPLENDID MEDICINE
FOR THE CHILDREN
Baby's Own Tablets' are the best
medicine a mother can give her little
ones. They are 'a mild laxative
which quickly regulate the bowels
and stomach and are guaranteed to
be entirely free from .any injurious
drugs. Concerning them Mrs. A. D.
West, Loreburn, $ask., writes:—
"Baby's Own Tablets have given me
more satisfaotion than anything else
1 have ever given my children. They
are easily taken; always work well
and though I have given quite a few
to my baby they eeem to work as well
now as at first, which is something
ether laxatives: seldom do." The Tab-
lets are sold by medicine dealers ori delivery. It is in the horse itself.

"The horse pulls up, the driver is

With a car, on the other hand, the
driver has to pull up, adjust his en-

engine away. In speed, for numerous

Mr.. Austen, superintendent of the

horse learns his route and so renders
an invaluable service. A trained
horse will do a route in, say, six hours.
Put a strange horse on this route, and
it will take at least one and a half
hours longer, because of the time lost

tor in the delivery problem."

Plants set in rows three and'a half
feet apart and fourteen incites apart
in the row. Closer planting, is un-
necessary and does not permit of
easy cultivation between the rows
and opportunity of picking without
tramping on the vises.
The planting is done by pushing a
spade into the soil, pressing it to
'one side and dropping a plant with
roots spread fan -shape into the
opening, including the crown of the
plant to .the top of the level soil and
pressing the ilarth firmly aroundthe
plant with the, heal or tome other
way and- finally levelling with loess
earth around the crown of the plant.
This is quickly done. The import-
ance' of pressing the soil firmly
around the plant is very great and
the plant should be sufficiently fires,»
so that if the plant is pulled by a I
leaf the leaf will break before the
plant will pull out. Only young ,
plants should be set; that is, plants
of the previous season's growth. the
planting should be done early, in fact,
the earlier the better. Much of the
failure with strawberries is due to
late planting. This is a job that can
be done in 'the early spring, the
sooner the plant becomes established
the earlier the formation of runner
plants, and the earlier these runner
plants form, the larger and better
developed are the crowns, without
which strong stalks of well -formed
fruit are impossible.
The summer cultivation should be
shallow to kill weeds and form a
loose surface in which the plant can
root without difficulty. As the run-
ners develop the cultivator should be
narrowed, so that the runners are
not disturbed after they commence
to form planta and greet care is
necessary to avoid disturbing the
plants at this time. Some of the
runners may he shifted to give a
more even distribution of plants
along the row, and su�me hand hoeing
will be necessary to prevent weeds
from growing later.

the hundred or more waggons, are When we dig back into the origin
of many of the customs which sur-
round marriaige, even when it is re
garded in the light of a religious
ceremony, it is surprising to find the
number of signs' which point di-
rectly to the days when a wed-
ding was merely a matter of agree-
ment between a man and a woman,
and force, rather than courtship,
was the principal argument used.
The first form of marriage out-
side of a tribe was the "marriage
by capture." The bridegroom simply
went out, accompanied by a friend
or two, seized upon some woman who
apliealed to him, and carried her
off to his home. In modern mar-
riage the very name of "best man"
is supply the successor to the strong-
au•med warrior who assisted the
groom to carry off his bride, just as
the wedding ring symbolized the
thongs with which the bride was
bound, and the old shoes thrown
after the couple, take the place of
the missiles hurled by the pursuers
of the past.. The honeymoon itself
is nothing more than the space of
time when the captor had to hide his
prize from her kinsmen until their
consent had been gained.
HOW RHEUMATISM
CAN BE OVERCOME
Not By Rubbing, But By Enrich-
ing the Blood.
Rheumatism is a disorder of the
blood. It attacks people when the
blood is overcharged with acid and
impurities, thus netting up inflamma-
tion in the muscles and joints. Wet
weather or cold weather may start
the tortures of rheumatism, but it is
not the cause. The cause is in the
blood. Victims of this malady have
every reason to fear the first dull
ache in the limbs and joints, followed
by sharp pains through the flesh and
muscles; these are the symrptons of
'poison in the blood, which will shortly
leave the victim painracked and help-
less. Liniments, hot applications and
rubbing may give temporary ease, but
cannot possibly root the -trouble out
of the system. Thai can only be done
by enriching the blood. This new
blood drives nut the poisonous im-
purities, and the rheumatism disap-
pears. If you are a sufferer from
this painful malady, begin the use of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and see how
soon the pain and stiffness of the
joints fade away. Among those who
have benefitted by the use of these
pills is Mr. Freeman Irving, Baxter
