Above, all, do not neglect to pass ten minutes in gymnastics every morning before breakfast. "That is all. Tuke plenty *pleasure in life,' but do not abuse the plea- sures." M.

PALLID CHEEKS MEAN ANA New Health Can be Obtained by hurichhig rhe Blood Supply. When a girl In ber teens becomes peevish, listless and dull, when noth- lug seems to interest her and dainties do not tempt her appetite you may be certain • that she needs more good blood titan her sy's'tem is provided with. Before long her pallid cheeks, frequent headaches and breathless - nese and heart palpitation will confirm that site is anaemic. Many mothers ties the result of their own girlhood ex- 3 . I perienee can promptly detect the early signs of anaemia and the wise mother .; does not wait for the trouble to de- , volop further, but at once gives her daughter a course with Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, which renew the blood sup- ply and banish anaemia before it has obtained a hold on the system. Out of their experience thousands of mothers know that anaemia is the sure road to worse ills. They know the difference that good red blood makes in the development of woman- ly omanly health, Every headache, every gasp for breath that follows the slightest exertion by the anaemic girl, every pain she suffers in her back and limbs are reproaches if you have not taken the best steps tie give your weak girl new blood, and the only sure way to do so is through the use of Dr, Wil- liams' Pink Pills. New, rich, red blood is infused into the system by every dose of these pills. From this new rich blood springs good health, an increased ap- petite, new energy, , high aphelia and Perfect womanly development. Give your daughter Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills and take them yourself and note how promptly their influence is felt iu bet- ter health. You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine -or by mail post- paid at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr, Williams' Medicine 1 Co., Brockville, Ont. Solomon's Riches. The extensive ruins of ancient forts, temples and gond workings in Rho - Aosta have given rise to considerable •controversy from time to time, some arehaelogists contending that they are only 400 or 500 years old and other holding that they.clate back to at toast 2000 years before the Christian era, and that Rhodesia was the land of Ophir, mentioned in the Bible at chap- ter IX and X of I Ifings, It is noteworthy that Milton, .in "Paradise Lost," boot: II,, speak or the angel lIichael leading Aslant to a hill of Paradise from whose top Isis eye might there command where. ever stood City of old`or modern fame, fr,rn the walls of Cambalu to as Saralee (thought Ophir) to the realm of Congo, and Angola, farther south. TIte theory has been advanced that Rhodesia was not actually oyh4r, it was at least the "Havilah" whence � .i the gold of Ophir was obtained and which was so much in evidence at Solomon's entertainment of the Queen of Sheba. If this theory is 3orrect then Sofala of to -day would be the site of "Tharsliish," the ancient seaport of "Havilah," and the outlet for precious stones, metals and other merchandise. Ophir being situate in all probability on the southern coast of Arabia and constituting a distributing emporium rather than the place of origin of these things. Perfects Airplane to Explore Africa. A new type of hydro -airplane, oper- ated by three helices, has been com- pleted and will be marketed soon, by Joan Latham,,non of Hubert Lathan, who two years before the war met his death while hunting in the Congo, says a Paris despatch. Scientists here prophesy that Mr. Lathani's invention will greatly facili- tate exploration work in the interior of France's colonies, as it combines three great factors—speed, carrying power and comparative lightness of equipment, and furthermore is able to use the smallest streams in case of ase iclent. The cabin contains room for four passengers as well as compartments for reserve supplies of petrol, food wireless apparatus and machine guns, all of which are in a birch bark canoe body. All the machinery for the opera- tion of the craft is above the heads of the passengers. In trial tests the tydro-airplane, car- rying three tons, mounted half a mile in four minutes, a mile ie. eight minutes and three miles in thirty- four minutes. The speed test showed a maximum of a hundred miles an hour, which was easily attained, • nee Metal Honey Comb. "Comb foundation" (originally the invention of a woman) is a. familiar commercial product nowadays, being made of beeswax and turned out by a simple machine that somewhat re- sembles a clothes wringer. • Rectangular sheets of this material are placed in the frames of the bee- hive;and, being •already laid out with suitable foundations for the cells, they relieve the bees of just that much work, the industrious insects having only to build up the walla to such height as the spacing of the frames permits. A now idea, said to have proved entirely successful, is that of making the foundation sheets of aluminum Iii stead of beeswax. When the metal has :been brushed, Lightly wale melted wax it serves the purpose' just as well, the bees being quite content to, build upon it. Otto advantage of the alums- num shoots is that they are net fragile, Owen Sound, Canada's youngest city, •claiins to be the only place ba the Dominion which has two V.C,'o: all of its wan-0o14ncl "13Th r" Bieleena, the famous aviatme and i ergt.

Stift Hats Protect ;l liners, All Over Europe, in the mining alis tracts, ttndergrouad workers are re (mired by their etitployers to wear sti • hats. In France and Germany ,those head coverings are commonly of papier melte. British miners went soft -pad dell caps, or sometimes tight-lttting caps of sole leather resembling a jock ey's in pattern.

In the Lake Superior district at the present time the miners usually wear stiff hats. In metal mines such u protection is specially valuable.

Five continents were represented at the unveiling of the statue of Evange- line, Grand Pre, Nova Scotia, Nearly all those present belonged to the Im- perial Press Conference party, and the unveiling ceremony was performed by Lady Burnham, who said: "Evangeline is the beautiful concep- tion of au American poet whose verses we learnt to read, on both sides of the Atlantic when we were children. His- tory has shed another light on the Acadian story. We• see to -day that British policy was not- as black as it was painted. Whatever may be the truth of this story, as a woman, and an English woman, I shall always regard it as one of the most painful episodes in our annals. Thank God those cruel old days lie behind us 'forever, and from the fate of Evangeline has sprung a great wave of sympathy which has been carried on the heal- ing hand of time. It is a good omen that the beautiful sun, God's healing hand, should be resting upon us all to- day, who are here to do honor to that sweet woman. Under those rays in your wonderful land so full of beauty and promise the old hatred is dead, I have now the great honor and privil- ege of unveiling the statue of Evange- line." The statue, which is of bronze, is the work of Henri Hebert from a model by his father, the late Philippe Hebert, a descendant of the Acadians of whom Evangeline was one. It is a magnificent work of art, and was presented to the Park at Grand Pre. by the Dominion Atlantic Railway, which is now part of the C.P.R. The Story a ."Annie Laurie' To most folks Annie Laurie bas been . nothing more than an ideal, and Lady Douglas' song txi1y, a poolteal tamp - (way, But within the tftue•begriulecl walls of the old Mazwclton House on 1 . the' River Calm, In Dumfriesshire,, hangs the portrait of 0 woman ai;uut , whose cliarznel the wt,I'ltl has been. . singing for three•quttit.ors of a cetl- tury. Thetse unfamiliar with the his- tory of the picture would not recog- . nine the delicate features of Annie, Laurie, which has been Imeging in tile' house of her fathers for 200 years, anal which inspired William Douglas to write the original i'ue.ut of "Annie Laurie." But William was a soldier rather than a singer of :,w, eet w '( s U I l„ and he was accused of beteg a wee bit indelicate; and because girls of those days were not accustomed to even the barest hint of familiarity, history says Annie Laurie jilted lam and wed an- oth. fIerowever, a century and a quarter after William's time, Allele Atut Spot- tiswoode saw the poem he had writ- ten, and which had been riven by An- nie Laurie herself to Charles Kirk- patrick Sharpe, wlto placed it 3n his collection of verses.

What is to be the largest statue in the world is being built by an army of Japanese workmen on the isle of the Cow's Head in the Inland sea, which has been called tli' Mediterranean of Japan. The isle of the Cow's Head is private property and this adornment is a work of private enterprise. The figure will be that of St. Mehl - ren, who founded the sect of Buddhism that bears his name. In the wooden model the saint lies asleep, facing whover sees him. his head pillowed on a block and his left arm extended along his side. The trees and scenery of the isle of the Cow's Head will pro- vide an excellent sitting for the enor- mous statue, that is to be cut out of the solid rock from this model, The Colossus of Rhodes, at one time one of the seven wonders of the world, is said to have been 120 feet high, a small thing compared with the statue of Liberty, that stands 151 feet above the pedestal in New York harbor. But the Japanese statue will be of even greater magnitude. Following the line of the natural rock it will be a. re- clining figure 240 feet long, and there- fore that much more impressive than the Buddha at Peau, Burma, which measures 182 feet from head to foot.

Poison dory and Virginia Creeper. There is a very simple and easily re- membered way of telling poison ivy from the Virginia Creeper, which it very much resembles. The poison ivy is a three -leaved affair; the Virginia creeper has live leaflets to the leaf. That is, if tb"re are five leaves grow- ing in a clu ter, one for each finger and the thumb, you may handle it without fe.r of being poisoned, If there are three leaves growing in a cluster Int it alone: it is poisonous. suroittlm AST HAY FEVER sleepless nights, constant sneezing, streaming eyes, wheezy breathing ;— EV A brings relief.
