WEAK, LISTLESS GIKLS Need Such a Tonic as Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pilb to Restore Health. When a girl In her teens becomes pale and sallow, especially If at the same time she shows inclination to tire easily, a llstlessnesa and inatten- tion to her work or studies, she needs Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, a tonic which directly and specifically cor- rect* the condition from which she Is suffering. A chemical analysis of the blood of snob a girl would show It to be deficient In just the elements Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can supply. But an analysis of the blood is not needed â€" the physical signs are plain. Among these slens are a pallor of the cheeks and lips, dark circles un- der the eyes, easily tired and breath- less after alight exertion. Poor appe- tite, headaches, and sometimes faint- ing spells follow; often the patient la nervous and Is startled at the least noise. In all run-down conditions there is no other tonic will build you up so quickly and so surely as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The statement of Miss Dorothy Lumblin, Bush Is- land, N.S., will bring hope to other weak girls. She says: â€" "I wish from my heart I could persuade every per- son who Is in a run-down condition to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial. About a year ago I was a weak girl suffering from Imiwverlshed blood and a run-down system, with many of the attendant symptoms. I had often read of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and decided to take them, and after using six boxes I feel as well and strong as ever. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills wilt be my standby In the future if ever my blood needs build- ing up again, and I shall always find pleasure in recommending them to others." You can get these pills from your druggist, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Wr. Williams' Medicine Co, Brockville, Ont. When It comes to making love, even the shallow woman is very deep.

Through the devdopment of the ex- elusive Gum-Dipping process, Fh^ itone has tremendously increased tire mileage in balloon tires.

"To-day the well-equipped Chinese Army has latest model rifles, artil- lery, trench mortars and machine guns, either manufactured In the leading Chinese arsenals or pur- chased abroad. Armoured trains and motor cars are now used, and hand grenades and poison gas are also made, though they have not yet come into common use. Trench warfare Is now the general rule and airplanes serve in observation and bombing. "Owing to many factors it Is Impos- sible to obtain any accurate figures regarding the actual number of men under arms In China. Writing In the Eastern Miscellany, a leading Chinese monthly, a Chinese authority com- piled an exhaustive list of all the known divisions, brigades and regi- ments after the Shanghai war of 1924 and reached the staggering total of 210 divisions and ISO brigades, or. In round numbers. 3,000,000 men under arms! The British-edited China Year Book for 1926-1927 suggests that 2,- 000,000 is probably a safe estimate. Since the Nationalist campaign to uify China began last Fall, the num- ber of soldiers must have increased, so an estimate that tends toward the 3,000,000 mark would not seem exag- gerated. If the powers should now decide upon a policy of armed inter- vention in China which Is Very un- likely), they must be prepared to SPECTACLES On 30 Days' Trial Kon-Breakable Clear Vision Wtu tin TO* s ysmiftr and jtt more dlitlnftUslicd appftrmnec.

It may be well at this juncture to inquire if Canadians, not as CanaJaans, but as Empire builders and Empire main- tainers, could be ready even in the remote future for the responsibilities of such a change? It ia so easy to juggle with words, fiven imi)er:al words, even world words slip from the Hps of orators without effort. But what about the facts back of tha words? What about the hundreds of years it has taken to build the British Empire? What about the lives laid down in its service, not only In its centre, but at its outposts? What about sacrifice? What about prepar- edness? What about the world bur- den attached to tho idea and to the name British Empire? ... It is our proud bc«tst that we. too, belong to this Empire and to this people,, near- est to the ancient Greek where free- dom is concerned of any nation since the hour when, as Shelley expresses it: "Liberty said, let there bo light and, Kke a sunrise on tho sea, Athens arose." ...

There Is no other medicine to equal Baby's Own Tablets for little ones â€" whether it be for the newborn babe or the growing child the Tablets al- ways do good. They are absolutely free from opiates or other harmful drugs and the mother can always feel safe In using them. Concerning the Tablets, Mrs. John Armour, R.R. 1, South Monaghan, Ont., says: â€" "We have three fine, healthy children, to whom, when a medicine is needed, we have given only Baby's Own Tablets. The Tab- lets are the best medicine you can keep In any home where there are young children." Baby's Own Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the stomach and bowels; banish consti- pation and indigestion; break up colds and simple fever and make teething easy.

Proponents of the new limitation declare the co- education has been attended by an undesii"able increase ia freedom be- tween the sexes to the detriment of ' study. If this be true, the condition constitutes a challenge to coeduca- tion. However, it strikes us that the j contentions of Miss Marjoria Fry, 1 principal of Somiherviile College, who I opposed reduction, more nearly ap- j ! proximate the actual trutli. Leading | ! the defense for her sex Miss Fry de- j clared that manifestations of easy sex relations are not confined to Oxford, | but have been clearly in evidence i throughout the world since the war. This observation Is so obviously prac- tical as to make it seem unlikely that mere reduction in the ranks of wo- ] men students will provide a remedy ; for the purported increasing interest | of Oxford students in tho opposite ! sex. Since the war. coeducational In- stitutions in the United Slates have ; faced a similar condition. Twenty : years ago. mingling of the sexes la many of these institutions was frown- \ ed upon by the student bodies them- ' selves. Since the war, however, fra- j ternlzatlon has become more and more the rule. Educators in this â-  country have not viewed the matter , with any great alarm. Probably it i will do the Oxford dons little good to ] take drastic measures.
