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. G: A. K. 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.
