WOMEN NEED A SAFE Y€ an And There is Nothing Bet •-'Br. Williams' Tink.,Pffia Toiling Up the BI6od'' It is said that woman's work is. never done, and that it is a fact that whether in society or in the home her life is filled with more cares and more worries than falls to the lot of man' For this reason women are compelled regretfully to watch the growing pallor of their cheeks, the coming of wrinkles and the thinness that becomes more dis- tressing every day. Every woman knows that ill -health and worry is a fatal enemy to beauty, and that good health gives the plainest face an enduring attractiveness. What women fail to realize is the fact that if the blood supply is kept rich and pure, the day of the com- ing of wrinkles and pallor, dull eyes and sharp headaches, is im- measurably postponed. Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills are literally worth their weight in gold to growing girls and women of mature years. They fill the veins with the rich, red blood that brings brightness to the eye, the glow of health to sal- low cheeks, and •charms away the headaches and backaches, that ren- der the lives; of so many women. constantly miserable; Mrs. William. Jones, Crow Lake, Ont., says: "I feel that Dr. `Wil- liatns' Pink Pills saved my life. I was so badly run down :that I could hardly drag myself around. I was se bloodless that I was as pale as a sheet, and you could almost see through my •hands. In fact `the" doctor told me my blood had n11 turned to water. I was taking medicine constantly, but without benefit. My, mother had so much. faith in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. that she bought' me two boxes and urged me to take them. How thankful I am that I followed her advice. Before these were' gone I began to feel better, and I contin- ued using the Pills until I had taken five more boxes "when I was again enjoying the blessing of perr. feet health, with a good color in my face, a good appetite, and I feel sure a new lease of life.

Com- pared with the census of 1901, which gave the figures, for 1900, there has been an in- crease in the ten years of 4,568 in the num- her of workings establishments. of $800,- 667,122 in the capital invested, of 176,930 in the number of persons employed, of $127,759,066 in salaries and wages, and of, $684,922,264 in value of products. Shrinkage in Building 'Operations. Building permits in. Canada for the seven months of the present .year. have showed a decrease of eight per cent, over those for the same period last year This decrease has been due chiefly to Quebec and the West. In Ontario and, the Mari- time Provinces large 1pereaaee.liave been recorded. The amount of money expend- ed this year on buildings in Ontario shows an increase of 38 per cent. in the Mari- time Provinces an increase of 87 per cent.; in Quebec a decrease of 4 per cent., in British Columbia a decrease of 77 per cent., in Alberta a decrease of 23 per 'cent., iu Saskatchewan a decrease of 63 per cent., and in Manitoba a decrease of 51 per cent.

Forests to be Safeguarded. Arising out of the reorganization of the Forestry Branch of the Ontario Depart- ment o_f. Lands, Forests and Mines, it is understood that ,an important move is shortly' to he taken by the Government to more adequately safeguard the forest wealth of Ontario. Prof. B. 5. Zavitz, Forestry Commissioner, has been com- missioned by Hon. W. H. Hearst to study the whole question and report with a re- commendation of a plan to be adopted, It is likely that when the Legislature meets next session a comprehensive pro- gramme will be; laid before the House. The fire -protection jlrogramme •will bo -ordinate with the reforestation scheme now under way. Not only is the fire -ranging force to be maintained and strengthened, but it is stated that fire belts will be out through the moat valuable stretches of pine forest, a, more efficient patrol 'will be kept tip, and severe prosecution of those who violate the forest, regulations. The fire belts, it is hoped, will prove a buffer, and where a fire starts to spread it will strike these belts and stop for lack of com- bustible material. Thousands of Hindus to Come to Canada. Secret reports that have reached the Department of Immigration at Ottawa of a scheme on foot to bring thousands of Hindus to Canada by a direct line of steamers from Calcutta to Vancouver are causing the officials considerable concern, One rumor has it that a co-operative scheme, embracing one hundred thousand Hindus, will shortly be launched. Pro- tests have already been received from the Pacific Coast, and it is reported that a special officer will be sent to London to make representations to the India Office. Hitherto it has been possible to pre- vent an influx by the order in council which stipulates that immigrants must. come by. •direct passage from the' land of their birth. Another clause that may be used, and has been used in similar oases, is the one prohibiting the, immigration of persons belonging. to 'a race deem unsuit- ed to the climate or requirements of Can- ada, but the Hindus have waged a cam- paign against this barrier, and point to their brethren now in good health •and comfortable circumstances in British Col- umbia. Hindu women and children" are said to be included in the hew coloniza- tion scheme. rt despite warnings the Hindus attempt to land in Canada a serious situation will develop far feeling• among the white pop. elation in British Columbia is very strong.

CONSUIILPTION OF CANINES Eatiing of Dog Flesh is Increasing in Germany. The consumption of dog meat as a food in Germany, probably as a result of high meat prices, increas- ed greatly i4 1912. Every year since 1907 has shown a considerable gain, 'but the 1912 figures are strik- ing. Against 19.11, in which year the number of dogs slaughtered under official inspection was 0,553, ti ' total for 1912 rose by 1,570 to 8,132, These figures, moreover, are but a small fraction of the total con- sumption of dog flesh, for a major- ity,,of the 'animals are slaughtered• at home without the formality of an inspection. . Saxony remains, as always,. the chief center for dog, slaughtering, recording 4,288 dogs killed as against 3,.540 in 1911. Prussia, how- ever, is in second place with 2,630 in 1912, as against 1,917 in the pre- ceding year. ill AN OLD NURSE. Persuaded Doctor to Drink Postum. An old faithful nurse and 'an ex- perienced doctor are a pretty strong combination' in favor of Postum, instead of tea and coffee" The doctor said : "I began to drink Postum five years ago on the advice of an old nurse. "During an unusually• busy win- ter, between tea, coffee and over- work, I 'became a victim of insom- nia. In a month after beginning Postum, in place of tea and coffee, I could eat anything and sleep as soundly ,as a baby. "In 'three months I had gained twenty pounds in. weight. I now. use Postum; altogether instead of tea and coffee; even at • bedtime with a soda ,cracker or some other tasty biscuit. "Having a little tendency to Diabetes I used a small quantity of saccharine instead of sugar, to sweeten with, ' I may add that to- day tea or coffee are never present in our house and very many pa- tients, on my advice, have adopted Postum as their regular beverage, "In conclusion I can assure any- one that, as a refreshing, nourish- ing and nerve -strengthening bever- age, there is nothing equal to Postum," Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont.

The child may be merely rather "•delicate," or it may exhibit such symptoms as high temperature, loss of appetite and weight, and chalky pallor. This is the time to attack the "invading enemy vigorously, not only to avoid the abscesses that enlarged glands often form if they are: neglected, "but, aI•so, to prevent the infection from invading the entire system.. In many' cases the gland' breaks4' down slowly; ; sometimes the process seems to stop entirely, and then, be- gins to go on rapidly once more. During this time much can be done to arrest the trouble. It per- haps fortunately, a disease of early life, when young people are still under the control of their elders, whose duty it is to insist upon cor- rect habits of life. They should first see that the ohild is not con- stantly absorbing fresh germsfrom decaying teeth or diseased tonsils, 'for there can be no cure while any. .source of infection remains. It is also necessary to give rest to the affected parts, and for this purpose a kind of stock has been made, The constitutional treatment is of great importance; the child's diet should be abundant, -:with plenty of milk and cream; he should be in the open air by night as well as by day, if possible, and his digestion, which is often poor, should be carefully watched. Many of these cases,in spite of all care, finally require sur- gical treatment. The physician must decide 'when the time for that has come.—Youth's Companion. BRITISH SOLDIER'' S PAY. Cannot •he Sued for • any Debt or Damages Under £30. Although Tommy Atkins is an honorable person,, and is not in the habit of repudiating his just debts to civilians, still he is not compell- ed to discharge them if they amount to less than a certain sum, says London Tit -Bits. This is because by military law he cannot be sued for any debt or damages under £30 in value. Accordingly, 'if Private At- kins can persuade a ,confiding tradesman or stockbroker, or per- haps an accommodating financier, to give him credit up to £29 19s. 11%d. there is no legal machinery that will recover the money. It cannot 'be stopped from his pay or deducted from his pension: e In order to protect civilians frons possible loss by giving tick to sol- diers, a system is in force :of crying down credit, Whenever a regi- ment arrives in a fresh station the commanding officer has 'to issue a public proclamation to , the effect that 'anybody who permits the troops to run up bills, will do so at his own risk. The course gener- ally adopted is to send a color ser- geant with a drummer and a couple of privates through the • principal streets the day after arrival. Every quarter of an •hour, orso the party halts; the drummer 'sounds a warn- ing tap, the non-com. expands his chest, clears his throat, and calls on the inhabitants to take notice that "the lieutenant colonel com- manding — regiment hereby de- clares that he will not be respon- sible for any debts incurred by the officers, lion -commissioned officers, or men of the regiment; and that any civilians giving them credit are not entitled to recover the amounts when under £80 in value." This 'exemption, however, only ap- plies to the professional pay and al- lowancee`of a military debtor. Con- sequently, if a soldier has a private income, or a gold mine, or a parcel of gilt-edged securities, or wins a £500. "Heads or Tails" prize, such property can be : seized to satisfy a judgment summons. Of course, Most soldiers are not in such a posi- tion, or have anything more than the . bare pay of their . rank. • "Waiter, this: coffee is nothing but thick liquid mudl" "Yes, sir celtainly,,sir !
