H. Jones RANCE Planager MADE IEEE r; BABY PLUMP AND WELL Nothing makes a mother more grateful than a benefit conferred up- on her child. Mothers everywhere who have used Baby's Own Tablets for their children speak in enthusias- tic terms of them. For instance, Mrs. Zepherin Lavoie, Three Rivers, Que., r•writes:—r"Baby's Own Tablets are a wonderful medicine for little ones. They never fail to regulate the Baby's stomach and leasee and make li$m plump and well. I always keep a box of the Tablets in the house and would advise all mothers to do likewise." Most of the ordinary ail- ments of childhood arise in the stom- ach and bowels, and can be quickly banished by Baby's Own Tablets. These Tablets relieve constipation and indigestion, break up colds and simple fevers, expel worms, allay teething pains and promote healthful sleep. They are guaranteed to be fres from injurious drugs and are safe even for the youngest and most delicate child. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25c a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. women without occupation. You may cook, you may sew, you may sweep, you may dust, you may wash the dishes and care for the babies and tend the fires, you may shop at the markets and argue with the milkman —even though your work is never done, still you have no job. The Census says so. The infirm, the insane, the infant, the willfully idle and the homemaker —all these persons whose occupation as duly recorded by the Census, is "none." In the Census of 1920, more than thirty-three million of the Nation's forty-two million "males ten years of age and over" were listed as occupied persons. But only eight and a half million of the forty million women and girls were occupied. Women who were merely making homes were too idle to be counted. In two years the Government will once again enter upon the great task of enumerating our national popula- tion. Preparations are already under. way, for it is no slight undertaking to count one hundred and twenty mil- lion of us, and to gather statistical, to show where we live and what we do, the kind of houses we dwell in and the number of horses and cows and dogs and. pigs and chickens and motor IFIIGURIES MAY MISLEAD IF WE cars we have. But once again homemaking wo- men will be listed without occupation Hon.

In with the facts. an.. enumeration where every other At one time in Great Britain, Sir conceivable service and occupation is Wilfrid Lawson, a British M.P., was rei{ognized, homemaking should most leader of the temperance `eidsade'- i` - a ai,1-Yr-,be-` given capital -letter re - that country. He was very fond of asking questions in the House of Corn- enons, particularly if they had a bear- ing on the cause which he so strenu- ously advocated. On one occasion he asked these questions. 1. "What percentage of those vain suffered casualties from any cause whatever during the Ashanti cam- paign were classed as teetotallers?" 2. "How many teetotallers were cengaged in the campaign?" The answers given were as follows: 1. 100 per cent. '2. Two. It therefore appeared on the sur- face at least that soldiering was a particularly dangerous game for those who were addicted to strong drink.' Sir John Simon, the well-known lawyer and Liberal statesman of Great Britain covers a similar point by an- other equally pungent illustration. A story was being made of the increas- ,eemployment in an industry to -which the safeguarding act had been applied in Great Britain. The indus- try, however, was rather trivial ' in importance and while the percentage increase was very large the actual in- crease in the number employed was 'extremely small. The inferences drawn from the figures were entirely -too sweeping. Sir John told this story: "'I have a son who is 30 years of age; and my son has a son who is three years 'of age. Next year my son will be years of age; and my grandson -will be 4 years of age. You will note that during the period of one year any son's age has increased one-third .of 1 per cent., while my grandson's age has increased a little over 30 per cent. You would, however, be wrong in assuming that because my grand- son's percentage increase in age is greater than his father's -that he will soon be older than his father or his grandfather." DON'T WATCH OUT OCCUIPATIION—NONE On the authority of the greatest of all government statisticians—the Cen- sus Bureau—we have assurance that the homemakers of the Nation are cognition. If a woman has two jobs, as many have in these days, let both of them be counted—the bread -winning occu- pation through which she helps in the family's financial support, and the homemaking work that she performs before and after business hours to keep the family intact. We want to know, of course, how many women, are gainfully employed, but we want to know also how many homemakers we have in our country. Both figures are important. WOMAN BROKER SPENT THREE DAYS IN JAIL 'When little Isabel Ure looked into the grim depths of the ol"bottle" dungeon of the ruined castle at her childhood home in St. Andrew's, Scat - land, and was told by her elder bro- thers the gruesome horrors enacted there she had little idea that some day she, daughter of one of Scot- land's distinguished families, would be detained for three days in Van- couver jail. Miss Ure is the only woman broker in Vaneouver and one of the few wo- men to make a success of that pro- fession in Canada. Her arrest just before Easter this year on charges of which she since has been completely cleared (by the attorney -'general's de- partment of the province of Alberta was in her own words, "the most hor- rible experience of my whole life." Miss Ure, whose experience as a broker dates back to the 1914 and 11426 oil booms in Calgary, Alberta, was outstandingly successful during the second of those two periods of oil stock activity. She- was entrusted with some money to buy shares by another woman at that time and when the 1929 activity of the oil market in Calgary revived interest once more the woman became excited and laid a charge of conversion against Miss Ure. Arrested in the very act of closing a big deal in mining promotion for the mining company of which she is fiscal agent in Vancouver, Miss Ure was taken to jail in Vancouver. Be- came the charges against her had been laid in Alberta she could not ar- range bail nor secure a lawyer, but had to stay there for three days un- til the was brought to Edmonton un- der escort, where she spent another day in the cells before bail could be arranged by her solicitor. In the Alberta capital she was, as ,he put it afterward, "properly gril- led" by the attorney -general's depart- ment and all charges against her w'thdrawn. Because she is a woman arid sensi- tive Miss Ure was "simply stunned" by the whole .w oceeding, but because she is courageous, the pretty niece of Baron Strathclyde, former lord jus- tice -general of Scotland, never once thought of quitting, but intends to carry on and succeed in her chosen life work. _Finds New Expression of The Vogue Becoming indeed are these new creations, replicas of the most expensive frocks.
