WELL SATISFIED WITH
BABY'S OWN TABLETS
Once a mother has used Baby's
Own Tablets/ for her little ones she
will use' nothing else. Experience
teaches her that the Tablets are the
very best medicine she can give her
baby. They are a gentle laxative;
mild, but thorough in action and
never fail ho banish constipation,
colic, colds or any other of the many
minor ailments of childhood. Con-
cerning them Mrs. J. Bte. Charest,
St. Leon, Que., writes:—"My baby
cried continually and nothing seemed
to help her till I began using Baby's
Own Tablets. These Tablets soon set
Her right and now I would not be
without them." The Tablets 'are sold
by medicine dealers or by mail at 26
cants a box from The Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
OUR WAR MEMORIAL
In many a 'place on foreign soil,
Our brave soldiers fought and bled,
That this fair country of ours
Should fear no foeman'a tread.
St. Julien, Passchendaele, Vimy Ridge
Their glory will never wane,
Where our dear gallant Canucks
Immortalized their name.
Here in our park in Seaforth,
A monument before us stands,
With the names of those in our dis-
trict,
Who fell in other lands.
A soldier is standing looking down,
As his comrade before him lies,
Having done his best for his country
And paid the sdpreme sacrifice.
Over there a cross and poppies mark
The place where our dear ones lie,
But here the memorial in our park
Will never let our memories die.
It .rouses us to better things
For our own and our country's gain
That the sacrifice our boys have made
Should not have been made in vain.

HOW HOLLYWOOD CAME INTO
EXISTENCE
Thanks to Fatty Arbuckle and other
noted artists, Hollywood, California,
is a little town whose fame is world-
wide. It is a town different from
any other town in the world, for it
is almost wholly supported by the
film industry. There were people
living in Hollywood and Los
Angeles before there were moving
pictures, and Los Angeles had a
well-established reputation as a
winter resort. Los Angeles would
probably continue to thrive—it is
now the fastest growing city in the
United States—if all the films and
film stars in the world were to be de-
stroyed, but Hollywood would not. It
is supported by the movie people.
Around their studios have sprung
up hotels and restaurants, shops of
all kinds, where gowns as expensive
as thoseproducnd in Paris are
sold, theatres and movie houses and
all the ether equipment of a
thriving little city. .We ,presume
that more money is spent in Holly-
wood than in any other town of
similar size in the United States.
Not SO many years ago Los Ang-
eles and Hollywood were nothing but
a vast desert plain, such as one passes
through now on the way to them.
There was little rain, and little or no
vegetation, because after the six
weeks' rain in Spring, the only mois-
ture that reaohed the place was from
the melting snow on the ,mountain
tops, and an occasional spring in the
mountains. What caused the growth
of Los Angeles was the installing of
various systems of irrigation, prompt-
ed by the knowledge that the soil was
extraordinarily fertile, and the build-
ing of a great aqueduct. All kinds of
tropical flowers and vegetation sprang
up. Palms were imported by the
thousand and grew as luxuriouply as
in Arabia. The ten months' steady
sunshine, assisted by the irrigation,
is responsible for a swiftness of
growth such as amazes travellers in
Africa.
It was the sunshine of theplace
producers. There was perfect light
for photographing, and a producer
could count upon ten months' work
in the open air every year. What
one found to suit his purposes natur-
ally suited another, and the result
was that in a few years practically
all the important film producers in
the United States, .had studioes .in Hol-
lywood. .There are not many holidays
for the successful movie artist, and
they find it convenient to establish
permanent homes near the studios.
The other performer*, the supers, nat-
urally cannot be expected to receive
a summons in Chicago when a va-
cancy occurs, aro they, too, flock to
Hollyxwood and live in apartments
or hotels or private lodgings, accord-
ing to their means. Merchants fol-
lowed to provide far their needh, so
that around the moving picture in-
dustry in Hollywooi has grown oro a
regular city, J'adking only one thing
—eactoriea
Martha McKay, an American news-
paper woman, gives this picture of
the place:
"Picture a city nestling at the feed
of the mountains,., where 76 per cent.
of the population are movie folks.
Where there are startling pink, blue
and green combinations of colors dec-
orating the exteriors of restaurants.
"Where such famous folk as Wal-
lace Reid dwell in orange and blue
houses.
"Where Fatty Arbuckle used to be
seen riding in an auto which looks
exactly like a huge white bath tub
on wheels.
"Where every one tries to be dif-
ferent.
"Wlhere people are Considered queer
udless they do, think, dress and act
differently than t'ir'e average mortal.
"Where even the shop windows take
on a different aspect. One discovers
queer beetle -like ducks ornamenting
the bakery windows. Gold, blue and
green wind mills blowing in the
breeze upon a huge white cake may
be seen in a French restaurant win-
dow.
"Where even an automobile ride is
contemplated seriously before taken
on account of the reckless driving.
"Where one can buy $6,000 gowns
and think therm cheap at the price!
"Where floe sees dramatic episodes
of life depicted tragically in the mid-
dle of the street -car track by the
movie folk.
"Where men, women and children
walk about at all hours of the day dr
night in riding habits, or, wearing
bathing suits, go whizzing by in 'ma-
chines.
"Where hundreds of dollars are tos-
sed into hats at cafes in order to keep
up the jazz."
Pauline Frederick's house is built
on a site that was as barren as a
plain, and as the writer says, "in six
months' time there stood on this site
a 'magnificent stucco house, the sur-
rouding grounds being covered. with
velvety green lawns, ;shrubs and trees
and flowers, and beautiful rambler
roses clambering about .the windows
and over the doorways." .It is a
common sight to see a pink and blue
house of stucco or an orange house
with .striped awnings of orange and
blue. The stranger the appearance
the more it is envied in Hollywood.
The people themselves are different
and aim to be still more different.
They try to live the unreal lives that
most of the movie plays describe. The
players 'are, on the whole, as artifiical
as the plays, and, as we have seen,
artificiality leads often to degeneracy.
GOOD HEALTH
AND GOOD SPIRITS
Depend Upon the Condition of the
Blood—Keep it Rich, Red
and Pure.
When a doctor tells you that you
are anaemic, he simply means, in
plain English, that your blood is
weak and watery. But this condition
is one that may easily pass into a
hopeless decline if prompt steps are
not taken to enrich the blood. Poor
blood, weak, watery blood is the
cause of headaches and backaches,
doss of appetite, poor digestion, rheu-
matism, -neuralgia, nervous, irritabi-
lity and many other troubles. To
poor blood is due the pimples and .
blotches, the muddy complexion and a
cheerful manner, the blood must be
kept rich, red and pure. This is
easily done through the use of a
blood enriching tonic like Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills. The whole mission
of this medicine is to help enrich the
blood which reaches every nerve and
every organ in the body, bringing
with it health, strength and new ac-
tivity. That is why people who oc-
casionally use Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills always feel bright, active and
strong.
Mrs. E. E. Cook, Simcoe, Ont.,
gi\'es strong testimony to the value
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills when the
blood is in an anaemic condition, she
says: "I have been a sufferer for 1
some years from a run down condi-
tion of the system. I suffered from
pains in the back, twitching of the
nerves and .muscles. my appetite was
poor, I had indigestion and would get
drowsy after eating. My hands and
feet were almost always cold, and
though I was constantly doctoring,
the medicine I took did not help me.
T
had practically given up hope of
;mod health, until a friend' from Ram -
Ilton came to visit me, and urged me
to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. It ,
took some persuasion, but finally I
consented to try them. I have rea-
son to be grateful thikt I did, for After 1
using seven boxes I felt like a new
person. I have gained in weight,
have a better color and my work is
now a pleasure. For this condition
my thanks are due Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, and I cannot praise them
ton highly."
You can get Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills through any dealer in medicine,
on by mail at 60 cents a box or six
boxes for $2.60 from The Dr. Wil-
liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
