r THAT STRENGTH Contentment. After Acute Diseases the Blood Must be Built Up Before . Recovery is Complete. Vwn mad other acut« dlfl*Me« Ilk* 9n«amonia an* inHueiiEa, leave the patient weak, with thin blood and un- ttrung nerrea. The p«rk>d ol ceik- TBiliMceuce l» often lon< and trylsg, and years of poor health have fre- quently foUowed to brief an Binees aa an attack of influenza or juMumonia. Much of thii sort of mleery could b« avoided by taUn« atejM to bulM up the blood so that It can cany to tile nervee and other tlsMiea of the body the elementa they need to r»- •tore their normal functional actlvl- ttee. To budld up the blood and r«- â- tore it to its rich, health-giving vigor, no other medicine can equal Dr. Wll- Kan»' Pink Pllla. Prom flrat to laat It is their mlmlon to improve the blood and thua restore good health and vigor. The value ot these pdlls in conditions flescrlbed above is shown by the stato- ment of Mrs. Rebecca O'Brien, Pem- brokOk Ont., who says:â€" "In Nov., 1923, I waa stricken with pneumonia, and at the time but little hoipe waa held out for my recovery. However, with th« best of care I was able to walk about alter some months. But I did not re- cover my strraigth. The doctor told me I was anaemic. My appetite was poor, I grew nervous and restleos, I was deathly pale and practically gave up hope of ever being strong again. However, remembering that In my girlhood I had taken Dr. WUliajna' Pink Pills with decided success, I de- cided to try them again. By the time I had used two boxes there was no d&ubt the pills were helping me. Con- tinuing their use I was soon able to attend to my hooisehold duties. I con- tinued talcing the plHs, however, until I had used twelve boxes, by which lime I was eujoylug better health than at any time in the previous ten years. In gratlttide for what the pills have done for me, 1 give this statement ih the hope that it may point the way to health to some other weak, despondent woman."

Yet there must bo a way to the goal we seek, A path to p«aoo for the strong and wealc. And It must l>e open for all to tare^ In spite of life's sorrows and dajis of care, For thoso who have suffered the most the while Liook out on the world with the ten- deresit smile. And thoso who have little of wealth to boast Are often the ones that we lovo tba most. So I fancy the joy which men strive to win Is born of something which Ilea within, A strain of courag>e no care can break, A love for beauty no thief can take. For they are the happiest souls on earth Who gather the treaaurea of gentle worth. The pridie of neighbors, the faith ot friends, And a mind at peace when the sius desoends. â€" Edgar A. Guest. Loye in Vain. To love in vain la one of life's trage- dies. So often it brings a train of dis- astrous eftects. Ambition is kiilled; sufferers become soured and embitter- ed'; life slumps into a Joyless oxiet- enoe. The poet Cowley wrote : •'A mighty pain to love it l.s. Anil 'tis a p^ln that love to mis«; Hut of all pain, the gi*eate.%t pain it is to love, but love in vain." Quite true; but why "love In vain?" To that the re-ply may W9 given that if ft jvjan lovea a maid, and she cannot re- turn his love, that's '"love in vain," with none to blame. But wait a mo- meut! What would .vou say to anyone who bought a grand piano and then oould not get it into the hoiiS'e? Or to some- one who bought a hat without trying it on. Or to a skater wlio got a duck- ing because he failed first to teat the toe? You see tho moral? Those who suf- fei" from loving in vain do so because they took a risk â€" and hurt themselvee. Ix)ve is nearly always precede'd by "liking," and it can â€" and ought to be --held iu that stag© unUd it is discov- ered that the penson liked is free to lie loved, and free to love in return. Then love has a chance. Not in every cos*, of course, does tlie chance come olf, but that the lovo-ciueet held hope, or the reverse, would soon be a^ppar- ent, and a retreat could thus be made before the heart was hopelessly in- volved. A passing disappointment is very d>iffer»n,t from a life trag-edy. Most of those who "love in vain'* have been too rash â€" too premature. It's In- spfring to fight for the attainable; a tragedy to pursue the unattainable. So look before you teap â€" into love! Clarinet.

You do not have to coax and threat- en to get the little ones to take Baby's Own Tablets. The ease with which they are given, as compared with liquid medicines, will appeal to every mother. None is spilled or wasted; you know just how big a dose has readied the little stomach. As a rem- edy for the UIs of childhood arising from derangement of the stomach and bowe-Is they are most satisfactory. IMrs. Rose Veyer, Wlllimajitic, Conn., says: â€" "1 used Baby's Own Tablets in tho Canadian Northwest and found them a wonderful medicine for child- ren's troubles, especially indigestion and constipation. I have also given them to my children for simple fove^r and the restlessness accompanying teething and they always gave relief. I can recommend Baby's Own Tablets to all mothers." Baby's Own Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 oeJits a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. WOIF TOTEM roU AT PRINa ROPEitT Thl# totem pole, wjiich now stands at Prince Ru^iert, B.C., foiw merly l)elont[ed to a Nishga Chief, named Daaic, an^ stood ia ihofrontof hlBlodM, at Gitlalcdamix, on the Upper Naaa Rivar, In Northern Britisfi Columbia. The carved figures seen on the top of the pole _ represent the principal actors in iexends descrlbine the origin of the family crests. Tnc owner of the totem pole belonged to the "Wolf Clan." The principal legend which explains how the wolf was adopted for the family crest is aa follows One day, long years ago, a great Is-'a eruption took place, at Gitwunsillniu, on the Upper Naas River. The molten mass ptished the waters of the river back across tho valley to the mountain-side and formed a great lava plain, which extended from the head waters of the Kshluich to the canyon, at Gwinaha. The fiery flow overwhelmed villages and fishing hamlets in its path, and the people fled to the surrounding hills. Amoni; these fugitives was an In<lian chief named Oum-lu- gidis, the ancestor of the owner of the pole Gum-Iu-gidis fled, with his family, to tlje higli- lands of the Shkamal River where they camped. Night after night they had no rest, but were dui- turbcd by weird sounds and voices accompanied by the beating of tomtoms. At length tho Chief and some of his braves determined to set out and discover wliere the sounds came from. The legend describes how they found themselves in the abode of "Luluks". Sp)i;^ts of the Dead, where they beheld many stranjje things. Escaping from these haunted regions, Gum-lu-gidis, overcome ny fear, again took up his flight, this time across the Grease "Trail to the Skeena River, leaving the Naas, with its terrors, far behind. When the winter snows had melted and the ice had left the river, Gum-lu-gidis and his companions travelled down the Skeena River, in dugouts made from Cottonwood trees, until tliey reached the island of Khern, now known as Ealen Island, on whicli Prince Rupert is situated. Not very long after they liad settled at Khern, Gum-lu-gidis' rest was once more disturbed, this time by the nightly howls of wolves which seemed to be calling Gum- lu-gidis by his name. The old fear overcame him once more, for he thought tlie spirits of the lava had again found him out. After the howling liad continued for two nights, the old Chief determined to meet his fate. Dressed in his ceremonial dancing robes, with face painted and his long hair tied in a knot, after the manner of the warriors of his tribe, he set out alone from the camp armed with his Chief's tomahawk, set with abalone shell Following the direction from which the sounds proceeded, Gum-lu-gidis came face to face with a large v/hite wolf. Raising his tomahawk pre- pared to defend himself he noticed the animal was in great pain and unaware of his approach, as it was trying in vain to dislodge a sharp piece of deer's bone which had pierced its jaw. Gun-lu- gidis said to the wolf "Brother; do me no harm and I will remove the lione which otherwise will cause ycur death." After Gum-lu-gidis had re- moved the bone, the wolf became very friendly, and each time the Chief went out hunting, the v.'hite wolf killed a deer for him; thus supplying him and his^amily with food. So, the legend states, Gum-lu-gidis adopted the white wolf for his "Ayouks" (crest) and in his ceremonial dances always wore a white wolf skin robe. After some years of peace, Gum-lu-gidis Ijocame homesick, and he returned to the Naas, for he longed to fish once more in tho waters of the Kshliich, where the "hanginwezuch" (white salmon) spawn. M,f The Best Trick of the Week^ Tlie Coin Divination. . Ploioe a number of coins In a hat, sAd ask that on* oodu bu r«mov«d, marked, and pawaed around for ideutl- flcatlon. When this has b(»n done re- quest one person to bold it Iu hli> liand, and press his hand against bis tore, bead, for a fS'W second*". Then the coin Is put back In tlio hut with tlia oiheifi. With your eyes blindfolded, and your head turned away, you may thea reach iu tho hat, and bring out the choaen coin, m.^'»t«>rioaely finding it from among the others! The secret: Wheu the cohi la passed around and held by one person, it be- comes quite warm. All the other coins Iu the hat will be coM, so you can easily discover the chosen oae.

FIRSTBROOK BROS., Limited CM King St. E»4t Toronto g, Ont Recently one who had retired to the country, after a busy and crowded city HfOi wrote of his flrst experience of gardening. He had been particularly Impressed by the frieBdHness of the birds. They had watched him with curiosity, perhaps, ho said, thinking ho was a novice at the business and wondering at his frequent spoils of rest. "During one ot thrse re«ts a robiu actually came and perched him- self on my knee." That wa» apparent- ly the greatest surprise of all. Actiial- ly! The man for whoso t'ellowship thousands of people would have been grateful, found unmeasured Joy in a robin's friendly truist. And trust is a lovely thing. It is not the least gift of a garden. It is a comradeship that can l>e cultivated. The birds will come and be our friends, if we invtte them, and turn the crumbs from our table into songs.
