"Before I got Baby's Own Tablets my baby was troubled with collo and vomit- ing and Dried night and day, and I as almost worn out. Bat after givihim the Tablets for a few days the trou le disappeared and you would .. t know it was the same child, he is - . healthy and good. natured now " T• s is the testi• monial of Mrs. G:;•rg: Howell, Sandy Beach, Que., and t ells other mothers who are worn out acing for cross siolt- ly children, how they can bring health to the little one and ease to themselves Ba iy'a Own Tablets promptly cure the minor ailments of little ones, and there are no cross sickly children in the homes where the Tablets are used. Sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box front The Dr. William's Medioine 00., Brookville, Ont. The Spectacle Pedlar. All tramps are a nuisance, but the spectacle pedlar is more, he is a menace to the public health. Usually, a foreigner -and a bold, blat- ant braggart, he intrudes into the homes of the people. Ignorant of the most ele• mentary principles of optics, or of the physiology or pathology of the eye, he nevertheless undertakes to cure diseases, where a skilled surgeon would hesitate, but, "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread." Is is a well known fact that wearing unsuitable or ill fitted glasses, not only aggravates existing diseased conditions of the eye and nervous system, but may in Toronto - induce other dangerous and distressing diseases. Bat the spectacle pedlar cares for none of these things, of what con- cern is the Public Health to him so long as he can exchange his brass -looking eye ware for the peoples hard-earned cash? It is quite time that this question was taken up by the Pablio Health authorities and some scheme devised by which the public might be protected. The farmers' wives and daughters de- serve some consideration from the authorities. Living as they do in isolat- ed homes they ars the special prey of of these foreign looking gentry. Force- ing his way into the home the pedlar will remain, his tongue going like a windmill, until the lady of the house is compelled to buy some of his wares in order to get rid of him. There are a few points in this connec- tion which are worthy of the attention of the authorities. In the first place wo would suggest that no person should be allowed to con- duct experiments on the public health unless he bo properly qaalified for such work. In the second place there should be some plan devised by which the lonely farm houses may be protected from the intrusion of spectacle pedlars and other tramps. We, in ()Meeto had but little trouble with this nuisance and menace to the public health, until hordes of foreign im• migrants began to pour into the coun- try. As there is no probability of this torrent of undesirable immigrants los. sunning, the safety of the public health lies in immediate Iegislation to prevent as far as possible these now comers en• gaging in work disastrous to the public health or morals. In the meantime do not permit any sxetaclo pedlar to enter your home. I'in; WINWIA ► rims APRIL 11, L907 NEWS NOTES.

It is so recently that women have been allowed to think; or expected to think, that it is not strange that they have not expressed themselves upon the question of what they want in men They have been brought up on the philosophy, "Be good and you'll be married," and it has not been a question of what they like In men, but what men like in them that counted or was important. There are many women, otherwise fairly sensible, who openly say they could not love a man who did not rule them. To say that every man, by vir- tue of his sex, is meant to be the master of some woman is atter folly, The need for a master is not a question of sex, but a question of the lack of moral or men- tal stamina in the individual, What do women want in men? There are women who prefer a man with the ability to earn a fortune rather than one who has inherited it. Being a good pro- vider will sometimes cover a multitude of petty faults in the eyes of women ob liged to account for every penny spent. Nor is generosity with money the only genero,ity. Women want from men what every normal human being craves —commendation and approval, 9 Woman, normal and healthy, does not want or need a master. Outside of truthfulness, honor and courage in him, what she prizes above all things from him are kindness, generosity and sym- pathy.—Belle Squire in the May Delin- eator. MIJRN.
