TO THE MOTHERS OF ALL PAUE GRLS If Your Daughter Shows Signs of Anaemia a Tonic is Needed. Anaemia \& simply a lack of blood. It is one of the most common and at the same time most dangerous trou- blee from which growing girla suf- fer. It Is common because the blood so often becomes Impovenshed dur- ing development, when girls often ovenvork and overstudy. It is dan- gerous because of the Btealthlness of Ita approach and because of its ten- dency to grow steadily worse. Every gTowinig girl sliould occasionally take a tonic to ward oft this insidious trou- ble. It is becaiiee of their powerful action in rebuUdiug the blood that l>r. WlMams' Pluk Pills have made a world-wide reputation. The case of Mice ClaJre Sullivan, Ptncher Creek, Alta., amiply proves the value of this medicine. Miss Sullivan says:â€" ' dur- ing my school days I suffered a givat deal from thin and watery Wood. I was continually weak and tired; my appetite was poor, my sleep unre- freislilng and I was troubled with back- aches. To make matters worse I was attacked with acute appen<llcitis and the operation left me in a very weak- ' ened state. My nioUier, learning of \ the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pilte, had me take them and after using tliem for some time I can say the re- sult wa«3 simply wonderful, as they completely restored my health, and now when opportutiity occurs I always recommend these pH^s to weak, pale girls suffering as 1 did."

Canada has entered upon a new year with poeeibly the best prasipects she has ever had. For some reason or oflier, whether it lias been of our own mftiriTig or that nature ha» been par- ticularly kind to MB, we have Just passed tlirougih a year of good crope^ our mining induetry has been busy, our forest resources have l>een active- lor developed and oar ' manufacturing plants have gradually increased pro- duction. In tact, the poseibilitieia seem to l>e about all we could desire, and there is only one 4ues>tioin to be ans weired: ".\re we prepared to make the most of our opportunities?" If we sit down and limit the range of our vi&ion to our Immeiiate vicinity we may not see the bright outlook, wWle if we wi^ to be pessimis'ts we can certainly find an excuse for being so, but we would have difficulty In finding a bona fide reason for any feel- ing of depression. Canadas clouds, the result of post-war conditions, are rapidly clearing away, and from the silver lining is shining forth a bright- ness that bids fair to place Canada upon tlie crest of the wave of pros- perity in the comlns year. "Sincere" Means "Without Wax." The word "siufere" has a verj' curi- ous origi:n. It eome« from two L/atln words) â€" "sine," meaning without, and "oera," meaning wax. The explana- tion Is that iu oUleu days flaws in the marble of a statue or bad workman- ship weo-e tilled in and faiidd>en with wax. So a statue of good marble and good workmanelhlp was sincere â€" that h», without any wax in It! It Is only telr to say tliat not all scholare en- dorse this derivation, but no other is known. « What She Does.

Much public interest lias recently been manifest as to tlie cause of this deadly acotirge, but few people realize tliat to prtmltive races leading irimt- tlve lives cancer is unknown. If On- tario people would grasp the fact that their present diet of refined foods and reckless meat consumptlton Is depriv- ing ttem of the priceless organic salts which furnish immunity to savage races, fchey could eave themselves in- calculable suffering and expense by exercising the same common sense they devote to their live stock and cars. Improper feed to your stock and domestic pets calls for financial loss and expensive veterinary advice. Wrong fuel for your car means loss of mileage â€" ^perhaps no mileage â€" and the expensive overhauling at your particu- lar garage, to say nothing of your own loss of temper, etc., for your own care- lessness. Knowing this to be so, and being usually careful to avoid it, why d<Hi't you take better care of your own body? There never was a case of cancer which was not proceeded by the ucw almost universal complaint of consti- pation caused by improper food, but if white bread, white sugar, boiled- vegetables and other "foodless foods" are persis.ted in, constipation must continue to be "the forerunner of can- cer," which now is recognized as the most frequent cause of death through- out civilization. The letter of Professor Barton Scam- luell, M.S.C.L., published in "Truth," contains facts which profound experi- ence has proved of a vital importance to many cancer sufferers: â€" "The rad:> actlve alkali, potash, is the groat oxy- gen attracting element in the body. It forms over 70 per cent of the mineral aei'h of the red corpusioles in the blood. Owing to certain defects in diet and the preparation of food, the modern civilized human being suffers from "potassium starvation," and the in- crease of cancer is a corollary of this state of affairs." Thousands of cancer patients havt> been brought back to nonnal health and untold numbers have averted attack by the dread malady by pe&toring to their systems those assimilable potash salts, of which they had for years been de- prived by their regular diet. -And since that eminent surgeon. Dr. Robert BeM. of London, abandoned the linifo for the dietetic and hygienic treatment of can- cer, his phenorainal success has In- spired jtistified hope and confidence in the hearts of sufferers throughout the world. Once it la generally known that cancer and a normally healthy bloo»l stream are incompatible, com- mon sense dictation of self-preserva- tion should result in adoption of a na- tura'Jy beneficial diet Uiat will auto- matically repair mnc-h of tho damage alre.-idy uncouBclousily Inflicted, and ' rapidly diminish tho growing annual 'mortality created by Ihia self-inflicted i blood disease.

There la oo more ddfficuit question to decMe than how far we should be ruled by our neigtibors, and where we Eibouid draw the line between snapping cur fingers in Mrs. Ortmdy'd face and groveill<ig In the dust before her. Our repufatiocs are in the mouths of uur acquain-tance-', and we Btaud or fall by what they t>ay about lus. It isn't enough for us to be good; we must look good to those alxiut us, and a«t in accordance witli their con- ventions. Our neighboce cannot see into our soubi. They can only judge by the aair side, and make such dedoctioue as ap- peaaiances seem to warranrt. There- fore, we are foolieh if we think we can defy our nelgbbcrsv and do aa we please, and live cur owii-44vee negaid- lese of them. What "They" Say. Every now and then you fiml some Intreipid individual who tries this ex- periment. But sooner or laiter the wheels of public opinico roll over all of these people and leave them crush- ed and maimed. They find theouselves ostracized, robbed of their ambitions, dropped out of everything, and left to go their self-eilected way alone. Now this fear of what "they will soy" is- the beginning of rlghteoue- ness. It is what keeps many a weak, teoLpted brother and sister in the straight and najTOw patli. And It is a good and wholesome thhig for us to entertain a piroper res.pect for our nedghobrs' tongues. But while we are wise to accord pro- per deference to our neighbors' opini- ons, we are ISoollsh to be silavee to them, and to be so afraid of what they will say about us that we sacrifice ail our independence to therii. For we may l>e sure that no matter what we do, we will be discussed and criticized and that we will not be able to pJease everybody. The Joneses wiM think we stay at home too much; the Robinsons that we go out too often; the Smiths that we are extravagant; the Thompsons that we are mean. If our household le a devoted one. some of the neigh- bors will hold us up as an examine of a happy marriage, and others will sus- pect it of being u bluff. Unfoit:unately, this fear of "what they say" makes such cowards of many people that they will ruin thedx lives rather than do something they think the neighbors might criticize. It Is at the bottom of what makes men 8*arve along at what they call "white- collar Jobs" when they might be mak- ing fortunes in some trade. It is what crowds the offices witli the unfit who would make successes as carpenters, or bricldayers, or plumbers. This dread of what the n-.MBhbors will say is stiil keeping thousands of women wh«) have a genius for cooking that they wuul-.i love to expresij, and who thrUl at the sigltt of a pan and pot, out of the kitchens that they long to lio in. They would a million times rather go out to (iomestic service tiian work In factorice or eho;it<, if theiy we<peu't te.Torized by the tlasught of wl:Qt their neigh ijons wouJ'^i fay. Wore-: of all, th's' fear of what "they gey" makes mien and wo:nen uripple thsniTflv*? by extravagen* «e. They feel that they hanre to keep up with ilie Jonesee. They haiven'i the cour- age to live according to tiieir means. So they nm into debt and come to dis- aMer iu the end. And ih»i queer part of it all is tliat when we ai« brave enough to be Inde- p«sndent, and choose the sort of work we are fitted for by nature, cur neigh- bors praiKe us for it, and say kindly things, instead of ridiculing us as they dn when we pretend and pcse. The mural is that w« should live so that we will not be afraid of what "they say" about us, end having done that, not core a hang what they do say.

Self- Poisoning Takes Huge Toll! Many Fail in Life Through j Sheer Neglect of Funda' mental Rule of Health Thou.sands of men and women are to-day victims of their own neglect. Grouchy, listless, quickly tiring, suffer- ing from headaches and biliousness, they spend enormous sums in medi- cines without avail. They would give much to regain their old vitality. Can it be done? Yes! How? Simply by recognizing the importance of one fundamental rule of health â€" the proper elimination of the bowel con- tents. Poisons that are allowed to remain in the system quickly lower the stamina, weaken the nerves and thus pave the way to ill-health. Stop this eelf-poironing by taking Nujol â€" the scientific lubricant that completes the work of Nature's lubricant when, through modern living conditions, the natural supply fails. Nujol can be taken indefinitely with- out injury to the system. Try Nujol to-day. Ask for it at yoiu: nearest drug store, but remember there is only one Nujol.
