MOTHERS WHO HAVE USED
BABY'S OWN TABLETS
Always Strongly Recom>Siiend
Them to Other Mothers.
Once a mother has used Baby's
• Own Tablets for her little ones- she
will use nothing else—actual experi-
ence teaches her that there is no
<otherr medicine to equal them for any
sof the minor ailments from which her
lbaby or little ones suffer. Having
:found the value of the Tablets in her
eown home, she is always anxious that
ether mothers should share her
knowledge. That is why Mrs. Creigh-
ton. White, North Noel Road; N. S.,
writes the following;—"I have a baby
seventeen months old and have given
him nothing but Baby's Own Tablets
sever since he was a week old. I
know of no other medicine to equal
them, and it is certainly a pleasure
to recommend them to _ other
iniothers."
Baby's Own Tablets are a mild but
thorough laxative that regulate the
stomach and bowels; banish-. constipa-
tion and indigestion; breakup colds
and simple fevers and make the sick-
ly baby well and happy again. . They
are sold' by medicine dealers or by
mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr.
William' Medicine Co., Brockville,
-4Ont.

NEW STRENGTI FOR
WEAK STOMACHS
Indigestion Disappears When the
Blood is Enriched.
The urgent need Qf -all• who suffer
from indigestion is a tonic to enrich
the blood. Pain and distress after
eating is the way thestomach shows
that it is too weak to perform the
work of digesting the food taken. In
this condition some people foolishly
resort to purgatives, but these only
further aggravate the trouble.
New strengthis given weak stom-
achs by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills be-
cause these pills enrich and purify
the blood. This is the natural pro-
cess of giving strength and tone to
the stomach, aiid it accounts for the
speedy relief in stomach disorders
that follow the use of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, The appetite revives,
food can be taken without discom-
fort and the burden and pains .of in-
digestion are dispelled. The follow-
ing statement from Mr. Donald L.
Latter, Lakeville, N. S., proves the
Value of these pills in ;cases of this
kind: He says:—"A couple of years
ago I had a bad attack of indiges-
tion. I had little or no appetite, and
what I did eat did not agree with me
and caused me much pain. As a re-
sult of this trouble my' general
health broke down; and I finally had
-to give up my work. I had taken
doctor's medicine batt it did not give
me any relief: Then a friend advis-
ed me to give Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills a trial, and I got six boxes. Be-
fore I had completed the third box I
found that they were helping me and
by the time I had taken the six boxes
every symptom• of indigestion had
disappeared, my .general health had
improved and I have since been in
the very best of health. I look upon
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a wonder-
ful medicine for 'all who are run-
down."
You can get these pills from any
medicine dealer or by mail et 50
cents a box' from The Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
IOW TO WATER HOUSE PLANTS
The plants which we grow in our
homes are of a very diversified na-
ture, some nater tly grow wild in
tropical or subtropical countries,
others ' in sub -temperate regions.
Some delight in the full blaze of the
desert sun, as for •instance, the
Cacti, others in the shade of the
forest, the -ferns and. some of the
palms, require a light, pilroias soil
for their welfare, with lots of vege-
table matter therein (humus); others
esquire a heavier soil. Many can
:efdare without' much moisture at
the roots, others must 'hav'e it more
Abundantly or they will not grow
suot:essfiillr. In spite . of all these
`things, 'wonderful success may be
, dhieved when care is exercised in
MU homes in the culture of house

the power to retain.' water. A plant
potted under the latter condition
:will as a rule, not require so many
applications, of water during a' given
period as under the former, root
conditions and other things being
equal.
Usually we pot Ferns and Be-
gonias in alight soil containing a lot
est decaying leaf soil. Geraniums,
Coleus, Aspirdistra and similar plants
a soil in which- loam- preponder-
atea, and perhaps we pot the latter
a little more firmly. The plants of
rhe Cactus family, including th'e
Xmas and the night flowering Cac-
tus, and also succulents, such as
the hen and chicken (Cotyledon) are
potted in a similar way to the Ferns
and Begonias, except that a little
more coarse sand or perhaps broken
lime rubble is added tee. the soil,
thus making it all the more porous
and non -retentive of water.
Ferns Begonias, Geraniums, ;Co-
leus and Aspidistra though :potted
in soils of somewhat different na-
ture will_ all yvilt and suffer more
quickly through lack of water at the
root than will the Cacti, because the
latter plants having storage cells for
moisture, thick cuticles and few
pores through which the moisture
can escape do not require so much.
The proof of this being that by na-
ture they are adapted to hot dry
desert sands. A way to kill Cacti
quickly in our homes is to water
them as freely and as often as we do
otr Geraniums. A way to have them
grow to perfection is to water them `3
only when the soil in which they
grow is almost at the dry stage and
only then.
The proper time to apply water
to our plants with the exception of
Cacti or succulents is just before the
soil becomes so dry as to cause the z'
foliage of 'the plants to wilt, or
when the soil is merely moist, the.
next stage being dryness, and then
to water .so adequately as to thor-
oughly saturated the ball of earth the
water coming in absolute contact �-
with each particle of soil and each
tiny rootlet. The best way which
though not infailiirle to tell when
:he plant requires -water is to tap
the pot with a hard object such as
a knife handle or the knuckle of
the finger. If the pot -rings, the soil
is fairly or entirely dry. If the
sound is dull, usually there will be
plenty of moisture in the soil.
If the pot rings there will be air
spaces in the soil from which the
moisture has been withdrawn. If
_it does not ring, these air -spaces are
'filled with moisture. Where then
would be the sense of applying
water to a soil which is still nearly
saturated? To do this would be but
to court failure with our plants be-
cause surely a sodden condition .f
the soil and perhaps also an acid
condition would result through the
injudicious application. In the case
of Cacti even when the pot rings
somewhat when tapped, it is not
always wise to apply water, the en-
ormous quantity in their cells be-
ing sufficient to tide them over for
a few days even when the soil has
become dry.
During Summer, growing plants
will require more water than during
Winter and this may be 'applied
practically at any time during the
day. In Winter however, the plant
should properly be watered only on
the warmest and brightest days and
preferably before noon, 'so that all
superfluous water will drain away be-
fore nightfall. The water used should
be at the temperature of the room.
It need not necessarily be said that
the pots should not at this or any
other time be allowed to stand in the
water which has drained from the
soil. harmful at all times, in Win-
ter, it is doubly so to allow the wa-
ter to remain in the saucers or jard-
inieres.
Whether newly potted or not, the
forementioned is a great way to as-
certain the moisture content of the
soil. When, however, it is con-
templated to apply fertilizers to the
soil, this should only -be done when
after potting the plant is well root-
ed, its fine feeding roots thoroughly
permeating the soil and , extending'
out to the sides of the pot. With-
out doubt, nitrate of soda used in
the proportion of one-quarter ounce
to the gallon of water, is a good stim-
ulant, if used occasionally, perhaps
bi-monthly or any of the plant tab-
lets used according to directions.
These latter usually contain phosph-
oric acid and potash as well as nitro-
gen in available forms.
When through carelessness or
o' ersight, the soil becomes thor-
oughly dry and the plant has wilted,
the best thing to do is to place the
pot in a pail of water up to the revel
of the soli and to allow it to stand
uritis , the soil is equally as thorough-
ly saturated. A wilted plant should
never be placed in a Very warm or
*sun -lit position ittitil it has regained
itis' natural appearance, its cells hav-
ing again become turgid;
