Square chins, with little flesh, denote firmness and executive ability. Broad chins signify dignity, unless vertically thin, when, if 'with it there be thin lips of the bloodless kind, you find cruelty. Protruding chins characterize men and women of the forceful type. Suc- cessful people usually carry their chins thrust forward, with compressed lips. /I Retreatiifg chins show lack of force "-mentally, morally, and physically, and denote 'that the possessor yields, Is soon discouraged, and desires protec- tion. The development of other facul- ties often makes up for this defect. Long chins are poetical, unstable, and delicate in constitution. People hav- Ing them are said, to be subjeet to in- tepial derangements. Medium chins, with small mounds of flesh on either side, characterize generosity and ebeery'natuies. A small, well-rounded chin indicates pleasure -loving. If dimpled, all the more so, for dimpled chins belong to coquettes. Short chins show a great love of or- der aiu detail—"a place for every- thing aniaerything in its place" type of person. There is a great advantage in plow- ing in the fall where possible. The period for plowing preparation and sowing in the sparing is short, and plowing is the operation that requires most time. HOOD'S "SONG OF TI[E SHIRT" THRICE RtJEOTED BY LONDON NEWSPAPER, • DREADED INFLUENZA Medical Men Believe it Will Again Visit Canada This t tlttlil'lu alial Winter. There is a Widespread belief along i medical men that the opidelnie of la grippe, or Influenza, whleh Swept over the world Last year, will again appear in Candia during this autumn and owning whiter.. This dangerous thou Ula spares neithei' ago nor sex, but it naturally lends Its .easiest viotinls among those who ere run down in health, or those whose blood is weak and watery, and it is among the latter. class in thick .the gr'eitteet number of', fatalities occur•. The surest way to prevent an attack of this dreaded trouble is to keep the blood rich anti Pure, and the safest and best way to do this is through the use of Dr. Wil, name' Pi k Pills. No reainabJe precaution) to aysa't on attack -of influenza or la grippe should be spared. The disease itself is deadly,, but Its after-effects, among those who are spared, make the life of the victim one of constant. misery. Ask almost any of those who have been attacked by influenza what their present condition of health is and most of them will answer; "Since I had the influenza I have never been fully. well." This trouble leaves be- hind it a persistent weakness of the limbs, shortness of breath, bad diges- tion, palpitation of the heart, and a tired feeling after even slight exer- tion. This is dile to the thin -blooded condition in which la grippe almost always leaves its victims after the 'fever and influenza have subsided. They are at the mercy of relapses and complications, often very serious. This condition will continue until the blood is built up again, and for the purpose of building up the 'blood and strengthening the nerves nothing can equal a fair°treatment with Dr,. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, From first to last dose these pills make new, rich blood, which reaches every drgan and nerve in the body. Thus the lingering germs are driven out, and the weak, despondent victims of influenza aro transformedinto cheerful, healthy, happy men and woman. But better still, you can put your- self in a condition to resist an attack of influenza by enriching the blood through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and this, it seems, is the sensible thing to do at once. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all dealers in medicine or will be sent by mail at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, by The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co„ Brockville, Ont. Finally Accepted by "Punch" and "Went Through the Land Like Wildfire," Few poet -lovers but are -- familiar with Thonrae Hood's song, to the toil- er, "The Song of the Shirt," which has been translated • into more .for'eign 1a11guages than any other poem writ- ten by Hood, This poem was first printed in the Loiulon Punch on De- cember 16, 134;i, and created a omen, - tion' in London, and It was 5000 re- printed throughout the British Empire,„ and shortly thereafter it was repro- duced practically throughout tate world, Good Living," `iThere is quite a, story connected with Hood's composition' of the "Song of 'the Shirt:" On October - 25 it was brought to the attention of the poet that 's wretched woman named Bld; dell _was charged at the Lambeth police 'station with having pawned articles belonging to her employer. It was shown that she made trousers for seven pence a pair, and the utmost she could make was seven shillings a week, which her employer looked up- on as "a good, living for a woman who had herself and two infant children to support." This case' attracted a great deal of attention at the time, and two days later the London Times had a power- ful editorial on the incident. Punch Quoted from this "leader" with sting- ing .additions—probably by Douglas Jerrold—the following week(. Hood, whose sympathies were stirred by suf- foring,penned his "Song of the Shirt" and sent it to Punch, his wife saying as the package was done up: "Now mind, Hood, mark my words, this will` tell wonderfully! It is one of the best things you ever did!" • Wife's Faith Justified, Mark Lemon, who was at the time the editor of Punch, recalling the re- ceipt of the manuscript in later years, said that the author accompanied it with a note, saying that the lines had already been rejected by three papers; that he feared it was not suited to Punch, and leaying it to Lemon's dis- cretion whether to put it in the paper or in the waste basket. The confidence of Hood's wife In "The Song of the Shirt" was justified. The poem in Punch created a sensa- tion. It was copied in The Times and other journals, and as M. II. Spiel - mann has put it, in sympathetic ap- preciation of Hooci as a contributor to Punch, it "went through the land like wildfire." The historian of Punch claims that the publication of "The Song of the. Shirt" trebled the circulation of that journal. It may be said also to have trebled Hood's fame and popularity at the time, Very Slow to Grow. After growing for 10 years, the Japanese cypress, one of the smallest specimens of the horticultural world, reaches the size of a golf ball, As 1f exhausted with this tremendous ef- fort, the next 10 years see it increase only by a fraction, when it practically stops growing altogther, The George Who Did It "I watched Lloyd George fill prac- tically every post of high distinction within the bestowal of the British gov- ernment during the war," says Mr. Isaac F. Monosson in an interesting account of his interviews and ex- periences with the wond4iful little Welshman who is England's premier. "Often when 'figuratively -I saw the flag of -distress hung out, heard' the alarm bells ring and felt the heart of Britain turn to him for leadership do her hour of peril and crisis, I realized that the American phrase, '.Let George ilo it,' fitted him and his astonishing service better than anything else. I once told him about this expression, and he was amused and pleased," No doubt. And if Mr. Marcosson had chanced to gnoto the phrase, with a similar complimentary application— as he might almost as aptly and tip- proprietely have done—to M. Ciemen- eeau, the George who has served France so long and so remarkably, that wise and gallant old statesman would also have been amused, Pel•- haps—since ho knows America bet- ter than Mr. Lloyd George does—he may have heard the phrase; but quite certainly, in any case, lie would know that it originated in his own country, and that the George who originally "did It" bad lain at rest be. neath his magnificent tomb in Rouen Cathedral a full century before Ameri- ca was settled. He was the famous Cardinal Archbishop Georges d'Am- boise, prime minister of, Icing LOU XII. A courtier from childhood, a bishop at fourteen, a conspirator with princes, a prisoner for two years; a reformer of legal procedure, army discipline and taxes, a counselor of generals and kings and an aspirant for the papacy, the fifty years of his life were crowd- ed with. wide and various achieve- ments. The beneficence of the re- forms he promoted caused Louis to be called "the Father of his People," al- though the -credit for them belonged chiefly toJhis minister, who was called. "the tongue and soul of the king," Sometimes, when troublesome af- fairs were presented for decision, the king would say neither yes nor no, but instead: ..Lot George do it. He is a man of experience," and "George," the invalu- able churchman, statesman and friend, would do it. Georges d'Amboise, Cardinal of Rouen, was, in his prime 011d _pride, a man of high ambition; but as he lay dying, attended often by his sovereign, and oftener by a humble' brother, of. the monastery, it was not to Icing Louis that he addressed the words so often quoted: "Ah, Brother John! If only I could have remained Brother Johne" That was in 1510. So it is a long four centuries', back that slangy Americans of an inquiring turn of mind must go to find out who was George and what lie diel. 3=8 E7 8 8! la 9 81 A When Your Nerves Cry ut ,It maybe from tea or coffee. , as f .
