When the war tools these men away from their work, their employers substituted women. The woman commercial traveller is '-one qt the most notable outcomes of the war. When the inen came back they did not seem any too keen to re- sume their old time occupations. The war had taught thein what le man's work. So they• quite readily accepted positions in new fields of endeavor. And the Women remained. Shopkeepers .say the new drummers 'peek the language of the trade as none of their..predecessors ltd. Why shouldn't a woman be mere eloquent on the subject of crepe de chine under- wear and Irish'crochet than a man? Revolution In Garments.

It Is not an uncommon sight when touring in England to drive up to some garage and be met by a woman in businesslike manner, who asks what she. can do for you. Of course the uniform is.skirtless. The breech- es habit has come to stay. These new garage keepers are of - Went too. The farm girl has come to stay. This shows endurance, for the English farms are not as well equipped with labor-saving devices as similar fame in this country. Tho houses are badly heated and very often the fare is of the crudest. In spite of this there wens thous- ands of girls who left the large cities because the Government of their coun- try said that .the soil must produce more food, and went ottt to do their share in making- 11 produce more. Now these girls find city life suf- focating, They say they never felt so well in their lives. They certainly look It, Many have special kinds of farm work as their life's occupation.

Who's to Blame? My friend, if you are dissatisfied with what you have so far done In life,, who's to blame? Do you think you have .• been cheated because you haven't achieve.} . the success you thought you would? . Do you not know thatyou what you have Paid for, and :that there would have been a much, Larger:eugcess. for you if you had >paid:the larger price? For everyeffort you have made • the Iaw of cause and effect has paid you ac- cordingly. If you are dissatiefed with your bargain, you can blame no one but yourself. You cannot have achievement with- out paying the price. You cannot get anything without paying the price. Perhaps once in a million times, luck may strike you—just as lightning sometimes strikes an individual. But what are the chances of your ever be- ing struck by lightning? An insur- ance company would regard the chance as practically infinitesimal. A similar thing Is true of Luck. Luck is suck a neglglble quantity that men do not regard It. Can you imagine Charles M. Schwab or Thomas A. Edison waiting around for luck to give them a push or a pull? No, they never waited one minute far luck to help them.

Her use of them leads her to believe there is no other medi- cine to equal them for any of the many minor ailments of childhood. Concerning them Mrs. Eugene Bois - vert, East Ald field, Que., writes: "My baby was terribly constipated, but af- ter the use of Baby's Own Tablets he is entirely well again. I am so well satisfied with the Tablets that I lose no opportunity in recommending them to other mothers."
