How Titian Painted His First Picture An Interesting Story for Our ChUdren Who Like Painting Titian the famous Venetian artist, bainted his first picture with flower Joicea aqueezed from Italian wild Oowers on the wall of his father's cot- tage in a tiny village in northern Italy, Mary Newljn Roberts tells us In "Child Life Magazine." "One hot day in spring on his way from school," writes Mrs. Roberts, "little Titian Vecelli clambered up the rocky slope of the hill where he lived and gathered bunches of wild flowers. When he reached the walls of his home he put the flowers down carefully In the shade and then he noticed his hands and sat up and stared. His brown flng«rs and palms were stained with every kind of color â€" purple and yellow and green and red and blue. "Now it would be interesting to any boy to see that the stems of some Italian wild flowers and blossoming weeds hold juices that stain when they are squeezed hard by strong fingers on a hot day, but to little Titian Ve- eelli it meant far more, for the sight of the colors sent him dreaming at once. The tints on his hands reminded bim of the fresco in the chapel and he rose slowly to his leet and glanced about With eager, wistful eyes- No- body was at home and it was very qaiet on the hilltop, and the bit of eottage wall nearby seemed waiting for something. "Then Titian Vecelli set to work, all by himself in the shadow of the cot- tage wall, squeezing and staining any way that he could with his fingers and « Uttle stick, painting his first picture â- o many years ago. Very slowly on the dull bare wall, a picture came to life. Figures seemed to spring out by magic under the small deft fingers of ttl« boy. H« wag 50 very busy thftt h« mid not see his father coni4 up Whind him and stand with hands upraised in amaac'ment, nor did he see his teacher, Btgnor Rostelli, climbing up the hill. â- Bo stood as quietly as Signor Vecelli and watched in silent amazement the pfleture on the wall growing bit by bit. "At Ifst when the sun had set, little Titian found that he could squeeze no more staina from the juicy, aromatic stems, and ao wi^h a sigh he backed •way to look with rapture at th« transformed wall. 'Had I the true colors of a painter, 'twould have more dspth,' he breathed. 'But even so I am happy.' And backing farther atill he colli(^ with his father and Signer Roatelli who had drawn nearer and nearer."

AREALieVETONIC The Source of All Nervousness is Weak, Watery Blood. Many people, both men and women, find themselves run down through overwork, or anxieties. Such suffer- ers find themselves tired, low-spirited and' depressed. Their nerves seem to be worn out and they suffer from headaches and other nerve pains. All this comes from starved nerves. Doctoring the nerves with poison- ous sedatives Is a terrible mistake. The only real nerve tonic Is a good supply of rich red blood. Therefore to relieve nervousness and run-down health Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should be taken. These plUs enrich the blood, which tones the nerves, im- provee the appetite, gives new strength and spirits and makes hith- erto despondent people bright and cheerful. Miss Irene Denne, R.R. No. 1, Washago, Ont., tells what Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills did for her as fol- lows: â€" "I suffered for a long time with my nerves and a generally run- down, condition. [ grew so weak that I had to lie in bed a part of every day. I could not do any work and was taking medicine all the time, try- ing one medicine after another. I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I have reason to be thankful that I acted on this advice, as this was the first medicine that gave me any relief, and In a comparatively short time restored me to the bless- ing of good health. When I think ot the marvellous good these pills did me, I can most highly recommend i them to all weak, nervous people." If you are at all run-down, or weak, you should begin at once to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and you will soon be well and strong. These pills are sold by all medicine dealers or will be sent by mall at 50 cent a box by TJJ« Dr, AVlUlams' Medicine Co., Brockvilie, Ont.

British Experts Trace Mystery of Red Hur London. â€" The mystery of red hikir, and why it is prevalaat in certain families may be illnmin- ated as one of the results of a sur- vey now being conducted by Brit- ish education and health author- ities. An anthropometric conunittee is collecting data from all parts ot Britain on the physical character- istics of school children. The ef- fects of environment on physique will thus be further revealed. The committee's findings may explain why there are so many strongholds of the red-headed in Scotland, and why a vein of red- haired people runs through some counties in England and Wales while in other localities the "reds" are as rare as albinos.

If you are one of these you are due for an awakening, for now large boats are constructed with the use of out board motors in view from the beginning. They are now made with as many as four cylinders, and a twenty-five horsepower motor Is fairly common. In the larger boats they are suspend- ed In. a well built into the boat. The advantages are tbat they avoid the troubles of shaft packing and that they can be lifted out of the boat, propeller and all, as one unit, for re- pairs. They will travel In shallow water, as the motor is made to lift automatically when an obstruction is hit and they will develop speeds up to thirty-five miles an hour. It Is ex- pected that 75,000 outboard motors will be built in the United States this â- year. Their use Is rapidly growing In Canada. Sale records show over 1,000 kere sold during 1927.

Baby's Own Tablets meet all the need that exists in every home where there are young children. They are a laxative, but do not gripe. They are soothing, but do not contain one par- tide of opiate or other Ingredient that can in any way do the slightest harm to the most delicate child. Baby's Own Tablets reduce fever, relieve col:c, banish constipation and Indigestion, check diarrhoea, sweeten the stomach and allay the Irritation that accompanies the cutting of teeth. They quiet the nerves and promote health-giving sleep and re- pose. In fact they are as good as a doctor In the home, and once a mother has used them for her little ones she will use nothing else. Thousands ot mothers bear testimony as to this. Among them Is Mrs. Hurst, Pine Falls, Man., who says: â€" "I was told to try Baby's Own Tablets by a friend who had used them for all her little ones and said she could not do without them. After using them for my baby boy I quite agree with her and certainly think they are the finest medicine in the world for little ones." Baby's Own Tablets are sold by all medicine dealers or by mall at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockvllle, Ont. Gabby Gertie How To Insulate House Against Heat and Cold "There are three general ways by which heat is lost or dissipated in our homes," writes W. A. Foster in the practical magazine "Successful Farm- ing" "First," he explains, "the prin- ciple by which we secur^ heat from the sun â€" radiation. Secondly, the transfer of heat by air movements such as leakage about doors and win- dows. And third, by the heat trans- fer through our constructions, such as glass in our sash, the walls, floors or ceilings. The three principles are not wholly independent but are accumula- tive, consequently, the totai heat loss is the sum of all three. "In the average home there is con- siderable heat loss by radiation. Heat radiates from the walls after it passes through the materials used in the wall construction. One of our most fa- miliar examples is the heat radiated from the chimney stack. The chimney closet is always warm due to the heat losses from the chimney itself. In the second principle â€" convection â€" heat losses from leakage are usually large in the average construction. While one needs ventilation or frej^h air for health and comfort, the heat losses from leakage about loose-fitted sash and doors are usually in excess of the ventilation requirem.ents in the aver- age home. "In frame construction." the "Suc- cessful Farming" article continues, "the dry joint between foundation and sill allows cold air to sift through '^to the basement, which makes the floor unreasonably cold. Extreme care should be taken to set the sill in a mortar bed and further care must be exercised to have a snuy-fittine sheathing and siding, otherwise cold air will pass up through the space be- tween the studding and find its way over ceiling and under flooring. While these methods of conserv-ing heat are important they are often overlooked" .» Mlnard's Liniment for Toothache. Cla s sifi ed Advertisement i MOVCTO A»I» BTOm AQB.

Much ot the nervousness In older children can be traced to the ov«^ stimulation during Infancy, caused by regarding baby as a sort of animated toy for the amusement of parents, re- latives and friends. Baby may be played with, but not for more than a Quarter of an hour to an hour dally. Peyond that, being handled, tickled, caused to laugh or even scream, will sometimes result in vomiting, and In- variably causes irritability, crying or sleeplessness. J^etfulness, crying and sleeplessness from this cause can easily be avoided by treating baby with more considera- tion, but when you Just can't see what Is making baby restless or upset, bet- ter give hitn a few drops of pure, harmless Castorta. It's amazing to see how quickly It calms baby's ner- ves and soothes him to sleep; yet it contains no drugs or opiates. It is purely vegetable â€" the recipe Is on th* wrapper. Leading physicians pre- scribe It for colic, choleja, dlanlieSb Ci^stttnrtfoo. ts8 on stomach and bowels, feverlshness. loss of sleep and all other "upets " ot babyhood.
