The Exeter Times, 1924-7-3, Page 2When The Babies Are cutting Thdr Teeth The Mother Should Use When the habist to out its teeth, then is the time that the poor mother is under the strees a great anxiety. The child's bowels become loose and (liana hoean'tlysentery,vile cramps and many other bowel corapialAs manifest theml*. selves; tffe gums become swollen; can- kers form an the mouth, and m many eases the child evastes away to a shadow and eventually death ensues. Ou the ilast sign a eiay bowel trouble is the time that the mother should use "Dr. Powl>r's," and, perhaps save the baby's life. Mrs. F. F. Burger, Jr. Petavrawa,, t Ont., writes:—"My baby boy was very sick with diarrhoea and cramps in his btomach when he was cutting his teeth. I tried several remedies, but without any eesults until my druggist advised me to use Dr. Fowler's Extraet of Wild Strawberry. 1 just gave him a few doses, and in a couple of days he was as well as he. could be. I wish to Shank you very much for your useful remedy. I will never be without it in my home." Waste -Land. Here the lichens cling To the gray rocks, Like the faltering Ragged locke Of an old she -fox. Here a narrow band Of water flows No broader than a hand; A black crow's Quill sailing goes. Here's a wrinitted grape, Like a blue knot On a thread—the shape Of life caught In the death -rote Here--Iisten long— By windy word Of reed, nor lacy song Of wild bird Is the dumb air stirred. Here a man may own. His bare soul instead Of a beauty blowe Rose, 'tis said. But his soul is dead. Red, White and Blue Mourning. Black always spells mourning to us, but in other lands every conceivable color is utilized. Black signifies Loss of light and joy, and resultant grief, but white, suggesting hope, is favored in China. The South Sea islanders combine the two and mourn in black and white I stripes. Sky-blue holds its own in Bokhara, and pale brown, to repre- sent withere-d leaves, is worn by the Persia n. In Ethiopia and Abyssinia relatives think of the earth to which their dead: friends return, and accordingly adopt i grey -brown for their mourning. Purple: and violet are the colors . used to ' mourn cardinals in France. French kings, however, have been known to ' wear scarlet. Yellow should stand for unfaithful- ness and jealousy, yet the country Classes in Brittany always use it for .neourning. Traitors' cells were once painted yellow in France, and the Spanish executioner's robes used to he yellow and red. Working in tanyards or gasworks is believed to be beneficial to those who suffer from diseases of the chest. An insurance for 33,000,000 has been taken out on the life of an Am- erican woman who manages a large ,shop in Chicago. This is claimed to , be the largest sum secured on a wo- trnan's life. any Women Are Troubled With Their Kid When women "find their kidneys out of order; when their back aches and , paina, all they noed to do is take a few boxea of awl' ' tiled they will find t at their household t duties will become a pleasure instead ' Of a burden.

The British government's recent de- cision to authorize the construction of two big airships, one by the Air hlin- istry and one by a private company, has led aaturally to the- question, "What will the new ships be like and how will they compare with present day Zeppelins and Shenaudotahar The long series of disasters to hydrog-eia- filled airships has made the average earth -bound, man somewhat skeptical of their capabilities, so oiae may under- stand hes desire to be told why the new ships ahould be any mars success- ful than those that have gone before It is knowa that the proposed sky liners wil have a hydrogen capacity of 5,000,000 oubie tet.. This will make era aboutce the size, of tne Shen- andoah. They will be considerably fatter in proportion to their leegth than the Shenandoah, however, arid the designers believe that they should therefore.lbe 'stronger, a If figures are desired it may be stated that the pro- posed ships will probably be 300 feet long, 115 feet in maximum diameter and 125 feet in height.
