When all our boys, survived, are ]here, From out the plague of war, They're welcome home as to us are Our treasures near and dear; They're like the floral gifts of Spring, Whose breath. is Heaven's air; To both delights we would compare The joys our heroes bring! They're like 'the sunshine washed with showers In good old Summer time, When joybells ring the runic rhyme Of love from lofty towers; And as such gladsome sources fling Their cheerfulness around, So with it too for us abound The joys our heroes bring! Again, they're like the Autumn's 'wealth, When harvest homes are gay, And toil and doubt have given way To happiness and health; When all the merrymakers sing Their paeans of success, We share their triumph when we bless The joys our heroes bring! But, ah, they touch us most of all When Winter snows come down, And Nature wears her darkest frown, And brooks and breezes brawl; For then it is our mem'ries cling To what and where they've been Belt recompense is given in the joys our heroes bring! Why worry about things that will soon be forgotten. • i-Iow Best to Overcome the Trou- bles That Afflict Women Only. The most fateful years in a woman's life are those between forty-five and fifty. Many women enter this term under depressing..conditiofhs through overwork, worry or a negieeted con- dition of the blood, and so they suffer Heavily. Still, variations of health at this time can be relieved by home treatment, Among the commonest symptoms are headaches and pains in the back and sides, fever -flushes, palpitation, dizziness and depression. Women stand in need of rich, red blood all their life, but never more so than in middle age, when the nerves are also weak and over -wrought. Now every. woman can prove the prompt help af- forded to her health by renewing her blood supply. It is a test that any ail- ing woman can make by taking Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, for these pills snake rich, red blood, which in turn helps the appetite, strengthens the nerves and restores robust health. Thousands of women have fotl"nd in Dr, Williams' Wink Pills the means by which new health and a brighter out- look of life were gained. In proof of this is the voluntary testimony of IFIrs. H. S. Peterson, Milford, Out., who says; ---"I have suffered greatly from those troubles that afflict my sex, and I have found that Dr, Williams' Pink Pills in suck cases not only do all that is claimed for them, but more. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done so muck for me that I urge every weak woman to try them. and they will soon realize the great difference in one's health they make." If you _suffer from any of the ills that particularly afflict womanhood you should avail yourself at once of the stealth help of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. You can get then from any dealer in ineclicine or by mail post. paid at 50 cents a box or six boxes for eta() from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Out, MYSTERIOUS MEMORIAL. Stonehenge, on Salisbury Plain, Dates Back to 1700 Years B.G. Stonehenge, the greatest and old- est of the nation's memorials, situated an Salisbury Plain, has been presented to Great Beitain by its owner. As the remains of a Iolhg gone -by civilization, Stonehenge has a value and an in- terest equalled by no other monument in the United Kingdom. The historic monument is com- posed of ]huge stones, some of them weighing tons. and in Some instances piled one atop of another. How the great blocks were got to their posi- tions, or their age or purpose, Is a mystery, but it is believed that the monument dates from as early as 1700 B.C. It has been a place of pilgrim- age for generations, Evelyn and Pepys, Johnson, Emer- son and other great men visited it, and some of them lelft records of the impression which the great stones made upon thein. Johnson pointed a delightful contrast between the Cathe- dral of Salisbury (the spire of which can be seen from the Plain) and "those girt big stones" as they are called by the natives. Johnson said: "These were two emi- nent monuments of art and rudeness, exhibiting the first essay and the last perfection in architecture." Evelyn, it is evident from a remark in this diary, made an unsuccessful attempt to count the stones. "To number them exactly," he wrote, "is very difficult; they He in such variety of; posture and confusion, though they seemed to ex- ceed 100; we counted only 95," Pepys found the stones "so pro- digious as any tales I have ever heard of them, God knows what their use. was." One large stone, known as the "leading stone," was, in 1901, restored to the perpendicular. During the ex- cavations made then a number of im- plements were found, believed to have been used by the builders. They were of stone and flint. Under various' private ownerships the ancient memorial has been wrang- led over in the courts, robbed of its trilithons to make bridges and mill dams, and allowed to suffer needless damage from storm and relic hunter, and has been either a white elephant or a mere source of gain.

"Too sip to Steal.". The atmosphere of romance that surrounds diamond mining is, of course, largely owing to the great value of the gems and to the Possibili- ty that at any lnemeut a jewel of such unusual size and beauty as to be worth a fortune may come to light. Diamonds are easily -identified iu the raw state by their peculiar sheen. and shape, says dr. William J, La- varre, Jr., but if there is any doubt about the stones the matter can be de- cided by subjecting them to pressure between two knives. Anything except a diamond can be crushed. In- color they vary from white to pink, bine, yellow, green or black. Their shapes range from spherical to flat and In- elude some nearly perfect diamond- shaped gems. A few stones that I saw in British Guiana were so perfect, both in color and in shape, that it was difficult to belileve they had not been cut and polished by machinery. Tae largest stone on record for that region, where the mining is carried on in a hit-and-miss manner, weighed fourteen carats; it was found by a "pork knocker" named Loudon, who, because of his great'size and strength and previous lawless acts, was feared by the other bushlnen. "Pork knock- er" is a local term given to a group of harum-scarum men who know no sys- tem in their prospecting, but move about here and there in the wake of such of their group as chance to make a discovery of any value. At that time London was working for another. man, and, strange to say, contrary to the precedent set by bis previous life, he turned the stone over to this em- ployer, I happened to meet him af- terwards in the interior and asked him Itowit came about that he did not keep the stone for hltnsellf. With an unlooked-for show of eloquence he said: "Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and unto God what is God's—anyway he be too beeg stone for one fe1i r - man to steal" His employer probably never would have seen the stone if it had been a mere five carats but for once London had been awed into honesty. BABY'S OWN TABLETS OF GREAT HELP Mothers, if your baby or growing child is sickly; if he does not sleep well at night; if he cries a great deal; is constipated and his little bowels and stomach are not working right, give him Baby's Own Tablets—they have proved of great help to thousands of mothers. Concerning the Tablets Mrs. W. H. Deeater, Corson's Siding, Ont., says: --"I have used Baby's Own Tablets and have found them excel- lent for the little ones and would not be without them." The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative and are guaranteed to contain no harmful drug—that is why they always do good and never harm. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. The Rock of Gibraltar. Many interesting bits of history are connected with Gibraltar, the famous rock at the entrance to the Mediter- ranean. Among other things it is re- called that the last siege of Gibraltar was by far the longest of modern times. It commenced on June 21, 1779, and ended in February, 1783. It thus lasted for the long period of three years and eight months. Minard's Liniment Co., Limited.

Minx to play his best to win, and then both clubs had made him a life member. "Canada, in my opinion," s he added, "is par golf." About the third week in June Evans hopes to make his fifth trip to Canada to play for the benefit of the Canadian Red Cross, Other noted golfers who 9 may go along are Francis OuiInet, Jerome D. Travers and John G. Ander- son. The cities visited will be Mont- real, ontreal, Ottawa, St, Andrews -by -the -sea and Toronto. Canada has a string of well-planned golf courses from the Atlantic to the Pacific, ranging from seaside links at St. Andrews -by -the -sea an the Bay of Fundy to the Banff Springs Golf Club, Alberta, where the golfer can play his game at an altitude of nearly a mile. Going farther west he can play the Vancouver and Victoria golf clubs where the altitude is not fat' above the sea and where the golf sharp can play the rcyal and ancient game every month in the twelve. because the Japan current decrees that there shall be no "winter killed" greens. This year will be the greatest in the history of Canada and the United States so far as international golf is concerned.

Champion Evans has a very Thigh opinion of Canadian golf courses, and of the Hamilton Golf and Country Club in particular. "This Club," he states. "is one of the very best Butts in North America. It 'swings well,' and is a thorough test of golf." The St, Andrevi s.Mgonquln Golf Club at Ft. ±.ndrews-by-tihe-Sea is an 18 -hole links, 6,0U0 yards In length, and there is also a 9 -hole links near by.

What girl or woman hasn't heard of lemon juice to remove complexion blemishes; to whiten the skin and to bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard white this way. Strain through a fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing about three ounces of orchard white, then shake well and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small jar of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle then this lotion will re- main pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face, neck, arms and hands it should help to bleach, clear, smoothen and beautify the skin. Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very little cost and the grocer has the lemons. z'otTzTasr " WA.NTED FIAT HAVE 'YOU FOR SALE IN Live Poultry. Fancy Dens. Pigeons.
