Zurich Herald, 1930-09-18, Page 7J.. Was Run Down And Very Weak Too Little Blood the Trouble Mrs. Jae, A, }Taught, Bridgewater, writes:—"I was badly run down and very weak. So much so 1 could scarcely do my housework. My nerves were affected; my digestion poor; I bad continual headaches and could mot get a restful night's sleep. Dia ferent remedies failed to be of benefit and I was growing discouraged. One day, however, I saw an advertisement of a case similar to mine which had been relieved by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills so I decided to try them. A few weeks' use of the Pills fully restored my health and now my household duties are a pleasure Instead of a tor- ture," Mrs. Haugbn't whole trouble was that she had too little blood. Dr. Wil- liams Pink Pills were of aid to her because they renewed and purified her blood and that good blood promoted good health, .for where good blood abounds disease cannot exist. You can get these Pills from any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents. a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont, THE FAMILY AFFAIRS OF FROGS AND TOADS Most frogs and toads lay large egg Masses, but only a very small per- centage of the emerging tadpoles sur- vive the attacks of fish, predaeeons insects, or the attentions of their own brothers and sisters. A few, however, lay only a small number of eggs, which, in such cases, are protected by the parents. The females of the Pipa toad and of a Brasilian tree frog carry them about in cells upon the back; the fath- er Midwife toad twines the egg masses abou':, his legs, whilse the male of Darwin's frog of the Argentine swal- lows the eggs and bears the infant froglets in a special extension of the vocal sac. The two extremes may be seen in almost every branch of the animal kingdom, says Mr. E. G. Ballenger, director of the Zoological Society's Aquarium. Ani ng the invertebrates some snails produce but. a dozen young, which may be retained in the safety of the parental shell until they are of an appreciable size, whilst others— oysters and limpets, for in- stance—discharge their millions of young into the sea, there to win through if they can. The Cave .A. cliff juts out and screens the spot From casual eye or passing yacht, So but to few the cave Is known— I stumbled on it quite alone. Surely a mermaid's nest is there! Upon this rock she combs her hair, That seaweed yonder lightly spread ; May be the strange sea -creature's bed. .And to the threshold every wave Brings treasure for the hidden cave, The paving shells to change auew From faintest pink to tender blue. If after dark I ventured near Unearthly music I should hear, .As rising from her native foam The little mermaid seeks her home! —Hylda M. Wearn, in "Answers." THE SPOILS OF WAR .A.t the close of the war an American explosive factory had on hand huge stores of raw material for producing munitions. Unable to find a market for such products any longer, the officials of the company ordered their research staff to experiment with the war stuffs in an effort to discover a peace -time use for them. One chemist, having mixed certain materials in a crucible, let the mixture stand ever night. In the morning he was astonished to find that the cord - pound was no longer a liquid but a glossy -surface solid. Thus was discovered the process for making an enamel now used extensive- ly for finishing automobile bodies, Many people who like to be refer- eed to as dreamers are merely sleep- ers.

Try These With Blackberries - Blackberries, together with raspber- ries, blueberries and goose berries, are remarkable for the amount of free acid they contain. This causes their juices to be of immense value in. refreshing the system and keeping the blood cool and free from toxins. Drinks, cor- dials, and preserves are therefore 'valu- able. Blackberry Cordial is easy to pre- pare. Pick the fruit on a dry day and wash it, after removing all stalks, Then put it in a large stone jar, plac- ing the jar in turn in a saucepan of boiling water. Leave until the fruit inside the jar is easily mashed. Then strain the contents through a sieve. To every pint of juice add one pound of loaf sugar, six cloves, the juice of two lemons and one orange. Let the whole simmer for half an hour, when strain and bottle for winter use. The cordial can be taken hot or cold, water being added as required. A Blackberry Fool Is a delightful sweet. Place half a pound of picked and cleaned blackberries in a sauce- pan with a tablespoonful of water and enough sugar to sweeten, letting them cook until they are tender enough to pass through a sieve. They make a icream by beating up three eggs with a little sugar and adding half a pint of milk, letting the whole gradually thicken by standing in a basin in a saucepan of boiling water. When thick, beat in the blackberry pulp. Pour into glasses and allow to set, when it can be decorated with whip- ped cream and blanched almonds. Blackberry Mincemeat offers a novel filling for tarts. Put two pounds of blackberries into sauce pan with the juice of two lemons and half a teacup- ful of water. Simmer until tender, then pass through a sieve. Peel, core, and cut up two large cooking apples and add the grated rind of one lemon, four ounces of stoned raisins, two ounces of washed currants, the same of sul- tanas, candied peel, and blanched al- monds; add one pound of Demerara sugar and half a teaspoonful of ground ginger, ground cloves, and ground cin- namon. Chop all well together, then add the blackberry pulp, half a pound of chopped suet, and a gill of brandy. Put in a jar and tie down. This is used in exactly the same way as mincemeat. Smears left on tiles by builders can be removed by rubbing with pumice stone, but a quicker method is to ap- ply a weak solution of spirit of salt (hydrochloric acid). After diluting about a quarter of a pint of acid with three-quarters of a pint of water, ap- ply sparingly to the tiles either with a stiff brush or cotton cloth. When the cement smears have gone, rinse thoroughly with warm water, Aliens permitted to take work as domestic servants in the United King- dom from May lst, 1929, to ApriI 30th, 1930, numbered 4,359. j For elrou.bles due to Acid let:dorm-toe ACID meat -seem HEAR -MAN HEADACHE GASES • NALItEA "Te-eses When at .

THE REASON MY Thin, Weak Children ,Need Baby's Own Tablets. • Malnutrition, or inability to derive nourishment from fond, ie a common trouble with. little children and is en- tirely due to stomach and bowel weak- ness. Another cause of loss of flesh, and sleep is worms. ' To correct stomachand bowel trou- bles and thus' banishe constipation and indigestion, break up colds and simple fevers; expel worms and allay the pain which accompanies the cutting of teeth is what Baby's Own Tablets were designed for.

There is, however, very little doubt that an all black toilet, re- lieved by the right -lightening touch, can be the very smartest. Good black is often expensive, yet many a girl nowadays Wears black as an economy. "I can't afford to wear anything but black," I heard a 'girl say the other day, and I could not help wOndering, for she was one of the hest dressed girls I had seen that clay': When I thought it out, however, I realized that there must be something h It. To start with, black dope not show the dirt. If kept well brushed, it never grows'as shabby -looking as other dark colors, like navy or dark grey. With the Merest touch of some other color —red or white—it achieves an effect inimitable. In summer and winter alike it is smart. A coat that valid do duty for day or evening wear is best 01 black, There is no toilet so non -committal or right for every occasion. Black at the moment and in the approaching au- tumn season. is and will be more popu- lar than ever, Black afternoon, frocks aro always popular, but little black morning frocks are comings their quite severe lines relieved by fancy buttons or narrow colored belts. Short or medium evening coats are still made in the popular black: a light lining or, Say, shell pink or ivory is advisable. Where fur is used on day or evening coats let it be light fun The contrast makes the coat. ' .Where unrelieved tlack is worm let jewellery prove the lightening note. A pair of jade earrings, /or instance, would make the world of difference and something interesting or a little bizarre in the necklet lice has the desired effect. On word of warning: If your hat and shoes are to be black, see that they are the best you can afford aid exercise great care in their choice, Black throws up the good or bad lines of a hat, and cheap black shoes are apt to look cheaper than other anti shoes. With your black toilet wear eancy black gloves relieved with :white stitching, or heavier stone color kid or suede, or even light beige to match your stockings, but not white Unless you ere definitely going in for a black and white ensemble. Fashion experts say that black will be worn. for sports costumes. Certain- ly nothing could be smarter than some of the new black and white tweed xnix- ture, Worn with a black beretes-Ans- Ness.

Minard's Liter:met aids tired feet, Six Snappy Steps To Health and Pep BY Herbert E. Naylor, Author of "IViodern Physical Education." It is not easy to describe what health Is, but there is no mistaking its absence when pain reminds us that something is wrong. We do not give a thought to the pro- cess which takes place when we en- joy a good teal -1t is absorbed into the SYStem without our knowledge; but when that meal sets pp indigestion we know there is suck an organ as the stomach, and that It is not working properly. In other words, a healthy condition is one in which every part works so smoothly that we are un- aware of its existence. Many factors contribute to health— proper food, good sleep, fresh air, and exercise. Exercise is probably the Most important, as it sets up a de- mand for all the others. The busi- ness life may he such that there is lit- tle opportunity for games or long walks, and hew to secure the neces- sary' exercise to keep fit is a real problem to many engaged in sedentary ocCupations. It is easier te hep up the general efficiency of the body than to rebuild it after it has broken down or deteri- orated. A few simple exercises per- formed daily at a convenient hour (not too soon after a meal) will maintain the condition of the muscles and joints, tone up the nerves, and keep the internal organs healthy. In the general "touching -up" it Is important that every part of the body should be included, and,the following exercises have been prepared with this in view. Exercise 1. (Stand with the feet a- stride and with arms crossed in front of abdomen). (1) Raise heels and swing arms vigorously side ways and upward to an oblique position. (2) Return to first position. Repeat Twice in Quick Succession. Thiesexercise is good for the insteps and develops tbe calf muscles of the leg. It also strengthens. the muscles of the shoulder blades and gives free- dom to the shoulder jape. Exercise 2. (Stand with feet astride). Lift chest and carry head backward, keeping chin down. At the same time raise arms forward and upward and circle them backward and downward, breathing deeply during the move- ment. Repeat Six Times Not Too Quickly. This will expand the thest, counter- act stooping, and improve the carriage of the body. Exercise 3. (Sitting on the floor). Bend forward and touch toes with hands, relax, and then reach beyond toes. Repeat to four counts and rest. Repeat Whole Four Times Vigorously. In this exercise the abdominal mus- cles are brought strongly into action, the internal organs are well squeezed, and a good flow of fresh blood is en- couraged which, materially assists di- gestion and exertion. It also counter- acts protruding abdomen. Exercise 4. (From ordinary stand- ing position) (1) Rise heels and bend arms. (2) Beed knees and stretch arms forward. (3) Stretch knees and bend arms. (4) Lower heels and arms down. Repeat Six Times. To many there will be an element al balance in this exercise. It will de- velop the leg muscles and improve the ankle, kuee, and hip joints. Combin- ing it with arm movement will culti- vate co-ordination. ixi addition, the arms, shoulders, chest and back will be strengthened. Exercise 5. (Feet astride, arms ex- tended sideways and trunk forward betl). (1) Turn trunk to left (right hand to touch left foot). (2) Turn trunk to right, left band to touch right foot). N.B.—Keep knees straight. Repeat Six Times Moderately Fast. This exercise develops the lateral mu,scles of the trunk and the waist. It is very valuable as au aid to digestion and excretion. Exercise 6. (From ordinary standing position with hands resting on hips).

Ontatt rutat Hop twice on right loot and swing Ieft leg sideways. Repeat opposite side. Repeat Six Times. The muscles of the outer and inner sides Of the legs are developed by this exercise and 'it strengthens the in- steps. The hip joint is made supple, giving a free and easy gait. By rea- son of the large muscle groups In- volved the breathing and circulation are stimulated, producing an exhilarat- ing feeling. .At first it may be necessary to make fewer repetitions of the exercises than is suggested, but an effort should be made to work up to the number after they have been performed a few times. When they are well -beaten, the re- ptitions may be increased. After the exercises there should be a feeling of buoyancy and briskness, which leaves no mistaking that the exercises are producing the required effect. — Tit - Bits.
