Under- wood, Kingston, Ont., wljo sajs; â€" "I have used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills with the most beueticiaj results. As the result of hard work I was very much run down, and my appetite was very poor. I got a supply of the pills which I used regularly for some weeks with the result that they restored me to my old time strength. They also proved a blessing to my daughter, who was in a very anaemic condition, and who seemed not to get more than temporary relief from any medicine until she took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

Armed Cruiser Reconditioned Found by the Plumber. It Made No Difference. Up and down the railway platform Bcurried the nervous old lady, evi- dently searching in vain tor some one. Then she tackled a porter. 'What time does the last train go?" she demanded anxiously. "Nine-Ufteen, ma'am," replied the porter. For another five minutes she rushed about, looking wildly round Then she met the porter again.. "What time did you say?" she asked. "Nlne-flfteen," said the porter, a trifle curtly. The lady stood wringing her hands by the entrance, her eyes searching the darkness wildly, vainly, for her luggage. Then, for the third time, she lought the porter. "I say, my good man," she wailed. I've got a tin chest, and you said â€" " The porter cast courtesy aside like a worn-out garment. "I don't care if you have a brass neck," he yelled. "The last train goes at uine-fifteen!" Breaking the Set. The lady district visitor was trying to get friendly with little Johnny. "Do you think your mammy would let me buy you, Johnny?" she asked. "Buy me what? An alrgun?" 'asked Johnny quickly. "No! No!" laughed the district visi- tor. "Would she let me buy you from her and take you away with me?" "She might," replied Johnny. "But I'm afraid you haven't got enough money." "Well, about how much do you think she would ask for youT" "A thousand dollars," promptly an- iwered Johnny. "Oh, but that seems an awful lot of money!" expostulated the lady. "Are you quite sure you're worth as much as that?" "Well, p'r'aps not," admitted Johnny, "but, you see, there's six of us, and It mummy sold me it'd break the set." Lover's Wedding Cake.

Then he anxiously turned to his mother and exclaimed: "Ma, which one are you going to send back?" "Build thee more stately mansions, my soul, As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low-vaulted i>ast TiU thou at length are free. Leaving thine outgrown shell on life's imresisting sea." â€" Oliver Wendell Holmes. Tattoo artists in London have been busy since the armiistice. One soldier Iwis had the names of all the battles in which he participated indelibly writ- ten on his arm. It was a rather long job, for he had been through the war from the start In 1914. In Thames Court receaiitly a man appeared with 'his head quite barren of hair, covered wSth tattooed butterflies, stars, etc. « To remove inkstains from a carpc:; or tablecloth, sprinkle immediately wiith salt; allow this to soak the ink up, then brush off and apgly more salt. A Health-Biiilding Food Gmpe=l A blend of wheat and barley prepared to di- gest easily and make . and keep people strong. v!J. Theres a Reason The latest addition to tho great fleet of C.P.O.S. Steajnshiiw which ply between Canada and practically all the Important ports of call in the world is Ihe "Eiupress of France." before the war popularly known as the'SS. •"Al- satian" and one of the ocean grey- hounds between Canada and Liverpool. The vessel has been roconditionpd since the war ceased and recently completed her maiden trip to Quebec under her new name. Her interior ar- rangements and fittings will compare favorably with the great Leviathans in this respect. The "Empress of France" has a length of 600 ft.; beam 72 ft; depth (to D deck) 54 ft. 6 in.; and a tonnage of 18,000 gross. A striking peculiarity is the cruiser's stern, which imparts a warlike ap- pearance to the vessel. Her war re- cord is one to be proud of. The "Empress of France" as the SS. "Alsatian" was requisitioned for : war pui-poses under Royal Proclama- tion immediately on her arrival at the port of Liverpool, midnight on the 6t,h of .\ugust, l'J14. .\fter completion ol discharge, the entire removal of all passenger accommodation and other woodwork, she was armed with 8-6 in. guns; commissioned and manned by a naval crew under the command of Captain V. Phjllimore, D.S.O.. and was attached to the 10th Cruiser Squad- ron on northern patrol duty, sailing from Liverpool on August liith, at which port she has beeu based duricg tTie entire period of her commission. From August to December, 1914, she remained as above stated, but in - December she was ra-ule Flag Ship of j tho Squadron to which she v/as at- tached, and Vice-Admiral Sir Dudley j R. S. DeChair, K.C.B., M.V.O., hoisted 1 his flag, which flew up to March. 191fi, I when he was succeeded by Admiral Sir Reginald G. Tupper, K.O.B., C.V.O., who was succeeded in November, 1918, by Rear-Admiral C. W. Keighley Peach, under whose flag she terini- j nated her commission as an Armed ,' Cruiser. j The Squadron to which she was at- ! tached, and later became Flagship of. consisted of 24 vessels, the majority of which were Armed Mercantile Cruisers. The duties of the Squadron consisted of the stojjpuig of vessels, boarding them and examining their papers, and should on examinatton they prove to be at all of a suspicious nature, a Naval Officer was placed in charge and they were taken Into a United Kingdom port for closer ex- amination. This similarly applied to any members of the passengers or crew, as each and everyone had to give a satisfactory explanation as to their nationality and business. Avail- able records show that in all th^ Squadron intercepted some 10,000 ves- sels, but it is impossible to state how many of these proved to be engaged in work hostile to the Allies' Interests. In the early part of 1918, circum- stances permitted of the 10th Cruiser Squadron being considerably reduced ip numbers, and vessels so engaged being allocated to Convoy Protection Duty, the "Alsatian" figuring amongst the number and being stationed on the North Atlantic route in such ca- pacity. While so engaged she escort- ed nine convoys of about 20 vessels each, carrying an estimated number of troops per convoy of 30,000, prin- cipally Americans. While engaged on Convoy Escort duties the "Alsatian" also carried troops and cargo, the number of form- er per voyage being about 600, and the weight of cargo per voyage be- tween 2,000 and 3,000 tons. She made her last voyage on Government Ser- vice In November, 1918, sailing from Liverpool on the 14th, and redocked at that port on December 11th, 1918, having steamed a total distance on Government Service of 2ffB,741 miles and consumed 170,571 tons of coal. On January 17tb, 1919, she left for Glasgow, having been placed in the hands of her builders- â€" Messrs. Beard- more & Co. â€" by the .\dmTralty for re- conditioning, being redelivered to the C.P.O.S. at the Port of Liverpool on Thursday, September 25th, and sailed for Quebec on Friday, September 26th. Captain Outram, her captain when war broke out, was given the rank of Commander R.N.R., and acted in that capacity, which was of an advisory nature, under both Vlce-Admlral Sir Dudley R. S. De Chair, K.C.B., M.V.O., and Admiral Sir ReglnaldTJ. Tupper, K.C.B., C.V.O., and was granted the D.S.O. for services rendered, being succeeded by Captain Cook at the same time as Admiral Tupper was succeeded by Rear-.Vdmiral C. W. Keighley Peach. Captain Cook was appointed Flag Captain, and granted a commission as Captain R.N.R., and now commands the vessel. <- The School of the Future. She conducted her school on the strictest and most approved hygienic principles, and before deciding to take little Willie as a scholar she asked him the nsual questions. "Have you had your vermiform appendix removed?" she inquired. "Yes, ma'am," said WiUV. "Have you your own sanitary slate- sponge, a disinfected drinking-onp, ccrlitlcate for inoculation for tho croup, chicken-pox, and measles?" "Yes, ma'am" Do you possess a patent antiseptic dimier-box, and do you wear a col- lapsible life belt, a camphor-bag round your throat, and Insulated rubber heels for crossing electric car lines? .â- \nd have you taken out a life Insur- ance policy against all the encroach- ments of old age?" â- 'I can truthfully say 'Yes.' ma'am." "Then hang your cap on the Insu- lated peg, and proceed to learn on sanitary lines." \ plumber \\^A a bit of luck some tima since wheil he was called to a big hotel to discover the cause for the Htopiiagft in a certain waste-pipe. He found in the h'.'iid of the pipe a dia- mond .ring, which, having gradually collectfed and arrested all sorts of odds and ands, had effectually blucic- ed the passage of the water. Tho plumber, being an honest man, gave the ring Into the custody of tho proprietor, and he, being also honest, and remeinhering that one of his guests had complained of the loss of a valuable ring three months before, wired to that gentleman to come at once. On his arrival he identified the ring as his property, and bestowed a cri.sp ten-pound note on the plumber, for tho ring was worth twenty times that sum. One of the directors of the Bank of England a good many years ago bought an estate, and drew a single note for thirty thou.sana pounds to pay for It. On reaching home, he put the note on the raanllepiece, was called from the room, and. on his return, missed the note. Whore could it be? Theft seemed out of the question, focnobody had been in the room. A sudden draught and the flaming fire seemed the true solution, and another note was issued to replace the lost one. Thirty yearH later the first note was presented at the Bank, and, being pay- able to "bearer," was honored. In- quiry showed that the banker's house had been bought by a builder, and one of his workmen, as the house was being demolished, had discovered the old note, quite uninjured, though much soiled, in a crevice in the chimney.
