The Tablets are a mild but thorough lax- ative which regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach and thus drive out constipation and indigestion; break up colds and simple fevers and make teething easy, Concerning them Mrs. Desire Theberge, Trois' Pistols, Que., writes: "I anti wellsat- isfied-ewith my use of Baby's Own 'Tablets. I Mtge found them of great benefit to my baby when he was suf- fering from constipation- and I can strongly recommend them to other mothers." The Tablets are sold' by all medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. WHY DO WE SPEAK OF A "TINKER'S DAM"? While the "dam" in this case sounds like a bit of profanity, ;it should be noted that it is spelled without the final "n" which denotes the expletive and is, in reality, noth- ing more than an ordinary dam used to prevent the enroacbment of a liquid—in this case the molten solder which forms part of the stock in trade of every tinker, the father of the present day plumber. The genuine tinkers dam was de- vised in the olden days when rosin, instead of acid, was commonly used for soldering.'= To prevent the solder splu-ttering away over the surrounding landscape or wobbling off into space or trickling down into the tinker's hoot, a little dam or enclosure of warm rosin was built around the role or joint to be sold- ered. This invariably melted at the critical moment1-sin fact, it wasn't worth a dam and the tinker, as he observed the melting usually gave vent to a properly emphasized "damn!" as Archbishop .Trench, in one of his lectures on the English language, remarked: "Neither the tinker's darn nor the tinker's 'Damn'. was of any avail. It really doesn't matter which one is used for, as an expression of utter uselessness, one is as good as the other,But 'dam' is correct, so far as the history of tinkering goes. REACTION POSSIBLE AS TO PROHIBITION. Is the United States about to ex- perience a recactlon with respect to prohibition? In some ways this is the most interesting question con fronting Congress and the country to -day. Signs are by no means lack- ing that it is facing a reaction and that the time has arrived when the trend of public sentiment will be in the direction of the less and less stringent enforcement of the prohi- bition laws. Without any doubt, the majority sentiment of the people of the Unit- ed States for the last five years and perhaps longer has been "dry." It has favored the abolition of the sa- loon. For a good while prior to the adoption of the dry amendment to the constitution -=the Eighteenth A- mendanent—+the majority of the people were dry. The wets failed to realize this until long ,after the country went dry, and consequently wasted a lot of money in one way and another in the belief that public opinion was on their side and wanted the saloon re- tained. Congress, most of the legis- latures and' the courts have been fav oreble to prohibition. Now, however, there are some re- markable symptoms of a change. It cannot be said there is any likeli- hood of the United States going wet again, in the near future, and it is certainly true that there is no pros- pect of the restoration of the saloon for years to come, if at all. But .there are indications of a sentiment for what might be called the reason- able enforcement of the liquor laves and in opposition to the drastic steps which many of the dry leaders want to haae taken. • This has come to the front in Con- greve of late in connection with the efforts to force throughthe so- called beer bill. This bill is intended" to prevent beer from being prescrib- ed as a medicine, to shut out imports of spirits and wine, and to limit more strictly than ever the amount of spirits, and wine which may be pre- scribed. The bill has -passed the House, but' it is, tied.,tip in the Senate because of opposition in adoption of the re pont of the Oon`ference Committee of the two houses. The House adopted an adsendltiient whieh prohibits any search of: a -home without a warrant, but peinpits searches of other prem- ises, ficludnig au`tomebliles on rea- sonable suspicion; The Senate is op- posed to permitting search lart all ex- cept on the etrengt i of a search war- rant; Man{rdry vgois ' _ a 60 080 search of any kind" ' 1t tit a war- rant. Moreover, a number of the dry Senators dislike the pending bill greatly and have told leaders of the Anti -Saloon League it'd other dry leaders that they are going toofar and are inviting a reaction against prohibition which will soon bring the country to . loose enforcement. i They say the Supreme Court is like- ly to knock out the newbeer meas urs when it is. put on the statute books, and that if this happens the ' turning of the tide against the ex- tremes of some of the prohibition i leaders will have arrived. Further, they take the view there is already plenty .of law against liquor and that if existing law is enforced there will be no need for new and perhaps irritating legislation. The fight to force the%beer 'bill through the Senate will be renewed atter the recess of Congress, which ends September 21: It will ultimate- ly be passed. Then will come a test in the courts. The situation is almost as import- ant for Canada as it is on this side of the border. Already the business of smuggling liquor across the bor- der of the tw6 countries has become one of large proportions. If the en- forcement of the dry laws on this side show a trend toward more lax- ity; it is easy to see how the food - gates will be opened. One hears the remark commonly made here to -day that the sentiment of the public is such as to incline it to wink at the handling of liquors without regard to law, and there is much evidence to sustain this view. f1 ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN Mrs. A. A. Bette, of Haverhill, Mass., a young French woman who came to this country during the World War, and married an American doc- tor; recently discovered a talent for drawing and is now doing fashion designs. Mrs. Albert Sterner, of New York, has formed an organization to be known as the Junior Art Patrons of America, the purpose of which is to educate the public in American Art and lectures. An attempt of French women to get into municipal government has been defeated by the municipal board of Versailles, which considered the pro- posal that women should be eligible for the higher municipal posts., What is said to be a new world's record for a parachute drop for wo- men was established recently at the Curtis field by Miss Phoebe J. Fair - grave, - of St, Paul„ Minn. She is only eighteen years old and the de- scent was 15,200 feet. Christian women of Persia, as well s Mohammedan women, wear veils to hide thir faces when out of doors. The difference of the two classes of women is determined by the Moham- medans wearing an all -enveloping Garment --called chadar—and Chris- tians never wear this cloak. - A training school for nurses of the United States public health service is to .be established bythe surgeon gen- eral. It will offer to women desiring to take up the urofession of nursing a course of study leading to a diplo- ma and an opportunity to assist in caring for disabled military patients. Training centers will be established at Fort McHenry, •Baltimore and Fox Hills, Long Island. . A POPULOR TONIC One That Enriches The Blood and Strengthens the Nerves. I Proper food, fresh air and a good tonic will keep most people in good health. Hurried meal's, indoor con- finement in badly ventilated rooms and lack' of exercise causes anaemifa.

For growing girls, who become thin and pale, for pale, tired women and for 61d people who fail in strength, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are an ideal tonic. Their bene- fit in anaemic conditionls is shown by the case of Bliss Lucy A. Steeves, Hillsboro, N. B., w'ho says: "Last spring I was in very poor health, and completely run down. I had severe headaches, the least exertion would, cause my heart to palpitate voilent]y, my appetite was poor, and at times I had fainting spells. This went on for 'some months, and although I was taking medicine, I seemed to be growing weaker, and the least exer- tion would leave me worn out. Then on the advice of a friend, I changed the, treatment to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. and I have great cause to be thankful that I did so, as they have made -a 'wonderful improvement in my condfition. I cam -now work with - Out fatigue, gq, upstairs Without be- coming breathless, and have gained in weight, I think thole pills are an ideal medicine in eases like mine."
