NO BEET MEDICINE FOR LITT ONES Is What Thoudands of Mothers Say of Baby's Own Tablets. A medicine for the baby or growing child—one that the mother can feel assured is absolutely safe as well as efficient—is found in Baby's Own Tab- lets, The Tablets are praised by 'thousands of mothers throughout the country. These mothers have found by actual experience that there is no other medicine for little ones to equal them. Once a mother has used thein for her children she will use nothing else. Concerning them Mrs; Charles Hutt, Tancock Island, N.S., writes: "I have lieu children, the baby being just six months old. I have used Baby's Own Tablets for them for the past 20 years and can truthtully say that I know of no better medielue for little ones. I always keep a box of the Tablets, in the lionso and would ad- vise all other other mothers to do so." Baby's Own Tablets are sold by all medicine dealers' or will be mailed upon receipt of prise, 25 . cents per box, by The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

This novel of 'ton-years-afterthe-war' is a frank yet delicate study of the sharp cleave ago between two generations, between those who loot their youth in the war and those who have grown to matur- ity since the Armistice, Here Mr. Brophy is finally master of his meth- ods; he shirks none of the difficulties' and moral problems of his theme, but he aohioves exactly the ends he aims for. The story of the Irish al- ckiteet and his unusual houshtg estate Is toid with a deftness hardly notice- able; fhb powerful writing and the dramatic situations which have al- ways marked hie work rise naturally, and therefore with greater effect, from the narrative. There is wit and, irony in 'Peter Lavelle,' and some lovely descriptions of the English countryside.

'Criminals Found In Foreign Legion Surrender of `Wanted" Man Dispels Idea of Hiding Place Sidi -Bel -Abbess, Algeria.—By sur- rendering a murderer to the civilian police to stand trial for a crime com- mitted previous to his enlistntent, the French Foreign Legion has caused earnest confabs in the barracks here and the places frequented by the le- gionaires. Iron years the idea has been. generally accepted that no matter what crime a' man was accused' of in civil life, he was safe from persebp- tion so. long as he remained in the Foreign Legion, Civilian detectives have longg com- plained that when they called at head- quarters, evasive answers were receiv- ed concerning alleged criminals whom they sought. Or, by strange coinci-- deuces, it appeared that these men had been detailed for service in the lower Sahara or on the fringe of the Iioggar, where the- hand of the law, lengthy as it is reputed to be, ,was too short to Peach. "A elan is known in the legion by the name under which he enlisted and that 'alone," a correspondent was once told at headquarters here. "Hie former private life does not concern us and we aro not concerned with it," This confidence' vias volunteered at the time of the release of the Ameri- can, Bennett J. Doty, of Biloxi, Miss. The case had filled the newspapers of both hemispheres for several weeks and the Paris papers for days had reached Sidi -bel -Abbess with long ac- counts of how, owing to the represen- tations of the visiting American Le- gion to France—that was in 1927— Bennett J. Doty, sentenced to eight years' prison for desertion, would be released. Yet, the cerrespondent had noted on the desk of Colonel Ballet, commander of the Legion, a stack of, telegrams addressed to Bennett J. Doty, and which had, remained un- delivered. "We don't know any Bennett J. Doty here," the colonel volunteered, "We know one Gilbert Clare, of Mem- phis)Tenn, but I don't suppose you are interested in hint," Clare was the name under which Doty had enlisted end been sentenced. •Recently ttvo Paris detectives -ar- rived at Sidi -bel -Abbess and told the Colonel: "We have a \arrant here'ior Gaston Froissart, who killed his grandmother with an axe in 1926, rob- bed her and then enlisted in the legion as Rene Bernard." "Pr6ve to: me that Bernard and Froissart are the same man," the Colonel asked. Bernard }vas sent for, Bertilion tneastirements wereaproduced,;establishing 'the .iden- tity of the :$nan as Froissart withol t the shadow of a doubt, "You can have him," said the Colonel. Froissatlt is on his way to Paris to go before the Assizes and many of his. former companions in the legion are wondering whether this means a radi- cal change in the Policy winch they had always believed ruled in the deal- ings of the legion authorities witl'the plain clothes police. One corporal then summed up the situation:' "It sexyed him right for killing his grandmother with an ace and robbing 'tier. , Perhaps if it had been att'real Stand-upmurder, between ::amen, it would hayo,,ntad'e a difference."
