A WOMAN'S HEALTH REAL COMFORTS Can Only be Maintained Keeping the Blood Rich and Pure. I I ml 1 by The woman at home, deep in house- hold duties and the cares of mother- hood, needs occasional help to keep her in good health. The demands up- on u mother's health rfi-e many and severe. Her own health trials and her children's welfare exact heavy toils, while hurried meals, broken rest and much indoor living tend to weaken her constitution. No wonder that the woman at home is often indisposed through weakness, headache, back- aches and nervousness. Too many women have grown to accept these visitations as a part of the lot of motherhood. But many and varied as her health troubles are, the cause is simple and the cure at hand. Wh'>n well, it is the woman's good blood BEHIND THE LINES WHAT ONE NIGHT IN A GOOD BED MEANT TO SOLDIERS. Two French Campaigners Describe the Unaccustomed Luxury of a Soft Couch. When the war broke out, Lieut. Maurice Genevoix was a second-year student at the Ecole Normalc in Paris. Now, as a veteran of many campaigns, he descrili/es in 'Noath Verdun what one night in a real bed means to the poilus. After months in the ti'enchts Licit. Genevoix and his company find them- .selves in a small village behind the lines. With his friend, Porihon, he SHIPBIILDING IN BRITISH (OLl VIBIA. If history can be relied upon it is just one hunilred and thirty-one year.s since the first ship was built on Ihe Pacific tJoast of Canada. A century j and a quarter passed without bringing i the industry to any immense proper- 1 tions, but within the la.st few years | shipbuilding advanced in British Col- umbia as if by magic. In the summer of lyUi there was one ship to be valu- ed at half a million dollars in process of construction in the provin<?e. .\t present the industry represents an in- vestment of $.10,000,000. Nine large vessels the product of British Colum- bian enterprise, are now sailing the vessels, the productrof British Colum- which are of steel construction, are either being built or have been con- tracted for. The incentives for these gigantic strides ir. Briti.sh Columbian shipbuild- ing have been the demand for ocean Western Woman Speaks With Enthusiasm Mrs. R. Eikford Tells of Dodd's Kidney iMlls. She Says They Are "All Right," and Gives Her Ueasons For Saying Soâ€" Why They .\re Popular on the Prairies. Leslieville, Alta., Feb'y tth (Spe- L-inl.) â€" It is with true Western enthu- siasm that Mrs. R. Eckford, of this place, gi\^K her opinion of Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I wish to inform you that Dodd's Kidney Pills are all right," says Mrs. Eckford. "I have only taken two boxes, and mv back is fine. Of course I will keep that keeps her well; vhen ill she mast goes to a small house. He says: make her blood rich to renew her health. The nursing mother more than any other woman in the world needs rich blood and plenty of it. There is one always unfailing way to get this good blood so necessary to perfect health, and that is through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills make new blood abundant- ly, and through their use thousands of weak, ailing wives and mothers have been made bright, cheerful and strong. If you are ailing, easily tired, or depressed, it is a duty yuu owt- yourself and your family to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial. What this medicine has done for others it will surely do for you. Mrs. W. H. Alberry, Mallorytown, Ont., says: â€" "I was very much run down and suffered from weakness and ner- vousness. At times I did not know what to <lo, as I would shake all over, and would have to go and lie down. I was treated by several doctors, who said the trouble was bad blood and weak nerves, but they did not do me ajiit of good. I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and they made me feel like a new woman. Later when I was nursing my baby, I felt run down, and again took the pills, and my baby at six months weighed thirty-five pounds. It was this medi- cine that ga\ e me the strength to nurse him, and both^baby and my.self greatly benefited by it. I hope every suffering woman will give Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills a fair trial as I did, for I have proved their wonderful merit." You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail postpaid at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. STOPPING HOUSEHOLD FIRES. f possible to then run for , beat out lh=- If the tire get the man Rules if Put Into Practice Would Save Lives and Property. A wet broom foims an effective (ire extinguisher for all small household fires. If the curtain blows over the gas jet or lamp and blazes up, use a broom. Wet it in pail of water or at a faucet. One can throw a solid sheet of water or just as a spray with this from a pail. It is almost as good as a hose. It is possible to beat out a fire with a wet broom or pull down a blazing curtain or portiere. On dis- covering flames in any room clo.se the door and window, also, i stop the draught, and the broom and pail. If the bed catches tiro, fire with a wet broom, spreads to the mattress of the family to roll it up and throw it out of the window. If this cannot be done make him upset the bed and throw the mattress on the floor, it will burn slower there and the broom and water can be used to advantage. Never try to extinguish burning grease by throwing water on th« blaze, as this only spi'eads it. Such fires must be smothered. Put flour, salt, sand, or even baking powder on the flames. It i8 often best to let a pan of grease burn itself out and simply see that it sets nothing else on fire. Don't throw the flour or salt on it, as this will make the burning fat splash in all di- rections. Use a long stick or poker to mix the flour or other substance with the burning grease. This will quickly put out the fire. If a lamp or oil heater takes fire handle it very quickly or let it alone. Toss a rug or heavy blanket over it or empty salt or flour on it, but not sugar, or it will only make a bad mat- ter worse. If the lamp explodes or upsets the best thing to do is to close the doors of the room and turn in a fire alarm. Never pass close to a ftre. Do not go above a ftre. for flames travel up- ward. Do not go back for valuables after reaching a place of safeVy. Lose no time in getting every one out of the house. If your clothing catches fire don't run out of doors but lie down on the Hoor and roll over, throwing a rug around the body, if pos&ible. to smoth- er the flames and protect the face. Dairy butter has food values vital to children. For this reason it is urged by our women workers that chil- dren be not stinted in its u.se, but that it be used as little us po.^sihle in cooking. ^ Shur-Ciin Fertilize* We are in a smoky kitchen, dimly • lit by a single candle placed on the table. From a line across the room hang .stockings, handkerchiefs, swad- dling clothes, drying above a stove. The chairs, scattered here and there, are encumbered with a washbasin, a pair of trousers, some dirty di.shes. ' Our ho.st is still a young man. sick- ly, pale, thin as a skeleton; his mous- tache and hair are light-colored. Ho offers us his hand and says: â- 'We have been awaiting you. My wife has prepared beds for you in that corner there, against those sacks of bran." The woman leaves her chair near the stove, shakes off three or four urchins! hanging to her skirts and raises the candle from the table. We can see clearly now. .A.long the ! sides of the plastered wall sacks are stacked. In these sacks the miller has placed a plentiful litter of straw of an even depth all over. On the top of the straw she has placed a feather mattress, blankets and .'â- :heets. To- J night we're to have sheets, a real bed. | We're going to undress ourselves, to [ lie between two sheets, wear nothing i but our shirts. I steal a glance at Porchon; his face expresses»his im- feigned delight. Suddenly he places [ his hand on myvshoulder and, regard- ing me with affectionate eyes, says: "You brickl" Deliriou.s With Happiness. I Our bed that nighfc was a thing never to be forgotten. Undressed in | a twinkling of an eye, we plunged into; its depths. And instantly it wrapped us from head to foot in a sweet, gentle embrace. There was no end to our surprise; each second produced some new discovery; we sought with the whole of our bodies for some hard- ness, but there was no corner that was not soft and warm. Our bodies, which remembered all the stones of the field, all the gaps in the soil, the greasy humidity of the woods and the harsh dryness of the stubble fields; our bodies, bruised l)y nights of bivouac, l)y the straps of our equipment, by our shoes, by the weight of the knapsack, by all the harness of wanderers who know no roof â€" our bodies were unable swiftly to accustom themselves to so much softness and comfort, .^nd we broke into shouts of laughter; we ex- pressed our enthusiasm in burlesque phrases, in formidable pleasantries, each one of which provoked new laughter that knc.v no end. And the man laughed at seeing us laugh, and his wife laughe<l, and the urchins laughed; the hovel was full of laugh- ter. Then the woman stole out, and when she returned she was escorting five or six of the neighboring villagers. And all these women, too, watched us laughing, and exclaimed in astonish- ment at this phenomenal spectacle â€" two poor devils so far scorned by death; two soldiers of the great war who had fought often, had sufl'ered much, delirious now with happiness, laughing with the abandonment of children because they were sleeping for that one night in a bed. KEEP LITTLE ONES WELL IN WINTER I Winter is a dangerous season for the little ones. The days are so changeable â€" one bright, the next cold and stormy, that the mother is afraid to take the children out for the fresh air and exercise they need so much. In consequence they are often cooped up in overheated, badly ventilated rooms and are soon seized with colds or grippe. What is needed to keep the little ones well is Baby's Own Tab- lets. They will regulate the stomach and bowels and drive out colds and by their use the baby will be able to get over the winter season in perfect safe- ty. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. I'd Prevent Fading.

It is just a quarter of a century ago that the Victoria was rammed by the Camperdown and sent to the bottom of the Mediterranean. .•Vt the time ilelli- coe, then a commander, was on board the Victoria, helplessly ill with fever in the hospital quarters of the ship. Sir John Tyron and several hundred officers and men lost their lives, but "Jack" .Jellicoe miraculou^y escaped. "How." he once exclaimed, in speak- ing of the incident, "I do not quite know myself!"

The classes of ships being built are divided into schooners and .steamers. The majority are built mainly of wood, but .several are made principally of steel. At pre- sent the shipyards of Victoria, Van- couver and New Westminster are en- gaged in building fifty of these ves- sels, which will have a gross tonnag.'! of 11(),'J80, and a deadweight capacity of 185,000 tons. The cost of the material alone that must be applied for the completion of these ships is estimated at $1,700,000. In order to finance the shipbuilding undertakings, actual and contemplat- ed, the British Columbian Manufac- turers' Association is endeavoring to secure a "Shipbuilding Loan" from the Dominion Government. There is a bright prospect before the shipbuilders of British Columbia. It is possible that the yards there will be making ships for the Austra- lian Government in the near future. Negotiations are now being carried on by the shipbuilders of British Colum- bia with the Government of the Com- monwealth with a view to securing or- ders. The great ships of the Canadian Pacific Ocean Services, now plying between Vancouver, Victoria and countries of the East, when they have lived their allotted time and done their appointed work, may be re- placed by other liners, just as mag- nificent, that will be built in the shipyards of th"?

David Lloyd George said that unless it were possible to supply with food the population behind the lines, as well as the soldiers at the front, the pro- spects of winning the war were re- mote. "The enemy is not going to starve us; but that is not enough," he ileclared. "We have got to produce such a (juantity of food that we need not go into the American market and snatch the food out of the mouths of our -Allies. If the Allies are .short it is because the farmer is handling a rifle to defend his country, instead of the plough." YES!

One of the things for which we were accustomed to depend upon Germany was optical glass, the manlufaeture of which was originally developed at .lena, even now the most important centre of that industry.
