SPEAKS HIGHLY OF
BABY'S OWN TABLETS
Once a mother has used Baby's
Own Tablets for her little ones she
is always pleased to speak highly of
them to other mothers. She knows
the good they have done her children
and realizes that her experience
should be of benefit to others. Con-
cerning -the Tablets Mrs. Fred Mur-
phy, Charrlottetown, P. E. 1., writes:
I have used Baby's Own Tablets for
the past eight months for my baby.
I cannot speak too highly of them for
they have been of great assistance.

BACKACHE
Pain in the back is frequent enough
and is generally caused by some form
of pressure that does not indicate
devious disease. Sometimes, however,
it is a really grave trouble, especially
if it persists or returns often,

in the buttes; it may be neuralgic, or

nasus of modern towns.
Just before the war an Englishman
of some distincti.m was traveling in
America for the first tints. Ile wish-
ed to iearn something at first hand
of the habits, manners and customs
of all classes; but he had the tradi-
tional shyness and stiffness of his
race. During a short journey by rail
in the State of New York a slight ac-
cident broke 'the barriers of silence
and set all the passengers in the ear
talking together in groups. The Eng•
i oktttan fell into conversation with his
seat mate and with the gentlemen ,in
the seats in front and behind. After
a while, he asked. his new acquaint-
ances where they came from.
"From Rome," said the first. The
Englishman Was slightly astonished.
"From Carthage," said the second.
The Englishman stared.
"From Troy," said the third. The
Englishman stiffened.
"From ithaea,"—"From Syracuse,"
said the remaining pair. The Eng-
lishman's lips clamped together, and
his color slowly rose. A good-natur-
ed man across the aisle saw the
trouble and called across genially:
"Say, they ain't joshing; they do,
really. But we ain't all that classic
hereabouts. My chum and me, now
—he's from Poughkeepsie, and I'm
from Skaneateles, though I aim to
ntnve to Schenectady next week."
The Englishman arose and stalked
into the next car. He did not believe
any of them!
Another Englishman also declined
to believe his travelling companions.
The trouble was that he was ready
and primed to encounter the "Ameri-
can humor" of which he had heard so
much. He had fallen into talk with
three pleasant Americans of whom he
had inquired whence they came.
"From Qshknsh," said the first; and
the worthy Britten smiled delighted-
ly.
"Front Kalamazoo," said the sec-
ant. The smile widened.
"From Skowhegan," said the third.
The smile became a downright laugh. •
