-\» KEEP HEALTHY DURING WINTER Colds and Diseases May be Avoided if the Blood is Kept Pure. Do not let your blood get thip this winter. For people who have 'a ten- dency towards anaemia, or bloodless- ness, winter is a trying season. LacK oi: exercise and fresh air, and the more restricted diet are among the many things that combine to lower the tone of the body and deplete the blood. As soon as you notice the tired feel- ing, lack of appcllto and shortness of breath that are warning symptoms of thin blood, take ^ short course of treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Do not wait until the color has entirely left your cheeks, until your lips are white and your eyes dull. It is 80 much easier to correct thinning of the blood In the earlier stages than later. This Is welf illustrated in the case of Mrs. E. Williams. Elk Lake, Ont., who says: â€" "I take great pleasure in letting you Iraow the bene- fit i haye found In the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. 1 was in an anaemic condition, and was Tery weak and run down. The least exertion .would leave me breathless and it was with difficulty that I did household work. I was advised to try Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, and after the use of four boxes I felt like a new person. In fact, my system seemed- filled with new energy and new lite. I strongly recommend this medicine to all who fee! weak or run down." The purpose of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Is to build up the Alood. They do this one thing and they do it well. They are for this reason an Invaluable remedy In diseases arising from bad or deficient blnod, as rheumatism, neuralgia, after-effects of the grip or fevers. The pills are guaranteed to be free from opiates or any harmful drug and cannot Injure the most de- licate system. You can procure Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine. or they will be sent you by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for |2.50 by writing direct to The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. To enable bicycHsts to carry babies with them when riding, an English- man has invented a sheet iron drum, open at the back, to be clamped be- side the rear v,rheel of a bicycle. Canadian factories employ Prince Uses Explocivee on Farm. The beauty spot of Devon, Dart- moor, which is part of the Duchy of Cornwall and therefore the propertr of the Prince of Wales, is being trans- formed by explosives into productlvB farm land. Gelignite is inserted into lioles In the bard ground and dischargad by electric current. The explosions break up the sub-soil, and at the end of a few months the ground is ready for cultivation. An expanse of 150 acres on Dart- moor, which, though a delight to the artist, was formerly unproductive of anything but heather and gorse, has grown this year excellent crops of hay, carrots, swedes, turnips, pota- toes and peas. Mr. Henry Vendelmans, an agricul- tural engineer, and a graduate of the University of Louvain, devised the method of reclaiming hard waste land in this way. "The crop of this year's gras8_alone has more than covered the expense of reclamation," saij Mr. Vendelmans. "I have studied the subject of re- clammation of waste lands for many years. In England alone I should say there are 2,000,000 acres of waste land which can be reclaimed." Youthful Achievement. la it possible to speed up education, as one can speed ur the production of shot and shell, potatoes and cereals? There are many examples to hand of amazing precocity. Can this "for- wardness" be made the rule rather than the exception? Music has always produced infant prodigies. Sir Charles Halle was but a child of four when he played a sona- ta in public expressly* composed for him, Mozart made his debut at six, Chopin and Rubinstein performed on the platform at eight, Samuel Wesley composed' a march for one of the Guards' regiments at seven, and Elgar wrote the music of a child's play at twelve. In literature, Milton wrote epic poems before he had turned eleven, Tennyson wrote charming lyrics at the age of twelve, Byron indited fluent and passionate love verses at ten. Bacon wrote like a philosopher dur- ing his tenth year, Macaulay began a compendium of universal history at the ripe age of seven, Douglas Jer- This Do I Ask. This do I ask my Guardian Fate. That like a flrm-set tree, Throughout the ripening years t(i come My life shall grow to be. Now in my burgeoning, bright youth. The spring dawn of my days, May April set a-flowering The green and tender sprays. Whereon uiy winged dreams may sing, Like birds that build their nest. And bring the sense of spring to hearts With winter's pall opprnssed. May summer, like a cavalier. Ride by the garden wall And, lingering, lose his burning heart To one white tree and small! When autumn's shuttle hours shall weave Their brown and golden weft. May then my patient branches spread, Be not of fruit bereft. I ask my share of rain and wind, Of sun serene and warm- That I grow gentler in th^ light, And stronger in the storm.

Paying on the Nail. Xn expression with which everyone is familiar, "payiug on the nail," comes from the old method of settling accounts, says uu English writer. In the early days of trade and com- merce, merchants on Change paid their debts by counting out rhoir gold on to a copper "nail" or table, in the market place. Written receipts are uow almost uni- .versal, and these nails are no longer used ; but two splendid specimens still remain among tlie most interest- ing treasures of !he ancient port of Bristol. They are are eacli about four feet high, shaped like a gigantic hour- glass. There they stand in the busy street, a lasting monument to the in- tegrity of the old trading and mer- Question of Identity. In Myrtle Avenue lives Mrs. Brown, the proud mother of lusty twins, named, not inappropriately, May and June. The other day Jlay was out for a walk with her nurse. They had not j gone verj' far when they met an old friend of the family, also out for a constitutional. He nodded to the nurse aud shook the little girl's hand. "Good morning, my dear," he said.
