Woman's Fortitude 4 . . - Forces Herself to Smile Through Pain. "I never seem to find time to rest," says many an overworked housewife. Under smiles and forced cheerfulness she conceals weariness and nervous depression; headaches and back- aches. Often she is in real pain, but still refuses to give up. This very fortitude is apt to be her undoing. If abe continues to neglect the signals of distress she will sooner or later suffer a serious breakdown. A noted doctor has stated that nine- tenths of the ills of womanhood are due to poor blood. That anaemia Is the cause of the low spirits, the poor appetite aud palpitation that make life a burden for so many. There is no need, however, for wo- men to suffer in this way. All the miseries of anaemia can be banished by taking Dr. Williams 1 Pink Pills. These Pills create an abundance of new, rich, red blood and this new blood will bring strength and vitality to nervous, overtired women. Th Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- Yille, Ont. Be Yourself! Know what you want and take It, Don't dither all the day; But if you cannot make it, Then put the hope away. Don't spend your time repining For what you cannot gain, Accept the silver lining In every cloud of rain. Know what you mean, and say it; Don't use another's phrase. In kindliness convey it, Your censure or your praise. Consider your opinion; Don't take it ready made. Your mind's your own dominion; To tbink don't be afraid. Know what's your job. and do it With all your heart and power; Don't merely shuffle through it With one eye on the hour. For every occupation Is worth while doing well; Theres' such a sure elation In knowing you excel. Be what you are sincerely, Xot apeing other men. Pretending you are really One of the upper ten. No matter what your station, 'Tis character which tells; 'Tis not the shop location But what it stocks that sells. A. M. F. Oil Age Gives New Speed To World, Says Leacock Montreal The modern era Is dis- tinguished from all others by man's use of the products made from crude oil, and hence this is the "Oil Age," according to Stephen Leacock, lectur- er and professor of political economy at McGill University here. Petroleum was known for centuries, Mr. Leacock 8ays, but the modern uses for it were not discovered until the nineteenth century. Modern dentists, while they agree with Mr. | Leacock in recognizing the discovery j of oil and its Importance as a basic] product, stress man's ingenuity In perfecting methods of scientific refin- ing, and attach secondary significance to the quality of the crude as it conies from the ground. With the appearance of oil, says Mr. Leacock, "all the world was speeded up. The g'.obe seemed to shrink be- neath our feet. Its vastness was all gone. From end to em" it was search- ed and ransacked for oil. The white winged plane and the motor boat Drought all civilization into one. The motor car unified the world and turn- ed the .lungle Into highways." Though crude oil has been known for centuries, it remained for modern man to learn how to make it Into really useful products. Now and then, when time hangs heavily on our bands, \ve indulge In Idle, foolish thoughts, and just at this moment we are wondering whether, three or four years hence. Colonel Lindbergh will not experience some trouble in conquering the heir. Mighty Things I would not do th many mighty things, But rather stay from out the mad crowd's throng. To find a beggar-man whose days are long And share my meal as if we two were kings. To find a child, and still its sorrow- ings, Uplift its head and make aright each wrong, Or pluck a wayside flower to breathe a song Unto the child, which just a flower sings. It is the many little things we do That are the truly mighty things of life Unmissed by us, some kindness to impart. To find in later years that we may, too, Feed on those when shadowed days are rife. And find the flower growing in our heart. R. A. Hamilton.

Was fancy, playing me a trick, Or branches weaving shadow lace? The music rose in liltin ; notes. And I was sure I saw your face.

TOO MUCH ACID may be causing those frequent headaches Vyl I1CN there's too much acid in your stomach, you must force your- ulf to work, and even pleasures re too great an effort.

Take a tablespoonful of Phillips' Milk of Magnesia. This will neutralize the excess acid instantly; make you feel like'a new person in just a few moments. Take a little whenever heartburn, tick headaches, nausea, flatulence, indigestion or biliousness show the digestive system is becoming too acid. Whenever you are taking cold or feel sluggish, weak, constipated. Phillips' Milk of Magnesia has a gentle laxative action. Delightful to take. Endorsed by physicians for 50 years and pre- scribed everywhere for men, women and children. The genuine is always a liquid; it cannot be made in tablet form. It always bears the name Phillips' for your protection. PHILLIPS Aren't We All? The scene was the smoking room on a popular train. The newcomer of- fered his package of cigarettes to the only occupant, but his offer was de- clined with: Occupant "No, thanks, just finish- ed one. Or rather, six would be more like it, but I've got to do something to keep my mind off of business." Newcomsr "Business not so good?" Occupant "Xot so good? (grouch- ingly) It's terrible! Every merchant I've visited this week is complaining. Some of 'em spent an hour or more giving me the gruesome details, and now they've got me feeling the same way." Najvcomer "I don't sae how they can do it." Occupant "Do what?" Newcomer "Spend an hour talking about 'business conditions'." Occupant "No business coming in, I tell you nothing else to do. You don't understand." Newcomer "I'm afraid I don't. I'm a local merchant, but I'm so busy tak- ing care of my business I haven't had time to learn of this slump you speak of. Matter of fact, my business for the first nine months of this year ex- ceeded that of last year." Occupant "Say, are you just hand- Ing me Pollyanna stuff to cheer me up. or is this on the level?" Newcomer "I don't see any reason why I would want to 'kid' you; I never saw you before, and it will prob- ably be better for my morale if I never do again." The meadows and far-sheeted streams Lie still without a sound; Like some soft minister of dreams Tile snow-fall hoods me round; In wood and water, earth and air, A silence everywhere. The evening deepens, and the gray Folds closer earth and sky; The world seems shrouded for away; Its noises sleep, and I, As secret as yon buried stream. Plod dumbly on, and dream. Archibald Lampman.

RED ROSE How to Avoid Cold Feet You can avoid cold feet this winter by lengthening your blankets and com-- loners so that they will tuck in securely, since so few really come long enough. Take a strip of unbleached muslin 12 inches wide and as lon^ a. your blanket or comforter is made. At- tach it securely across the bottom of your blanket or comforter, having first had the other three sides hem- stitched in the color of your bedding or else blind stitched or done in col- ored feather stitching.

DO YOU SUFFER FROM CONSTIPATION? Countless remedies are advertised for constipation. Many relieve for the moment but they are habit form- ing and must be continued. Others contain calomel and dangerous min- eral drugs, which remain in the sys- tem, settle in the joints and cause aches and pains. Some are harsh purgatives which cramp and gripe and leave a depressed after effect. Avoid lubricating oils which only grease the intestines and encourage nature's machinery to become lazy. A purely vegetable laxative such as Carter's Little Liver Pills, gently touches the liver, bile starts to flow, the bowels move gently, the intestines are thoroughly cleansed and constipa- tion poisons pass away. The stomach, liver and bowels are now active and the system enjoys a real tonic effect.

As often as vour child has a fretful spell, is feverish, or cries and can't sleep, let Castoria soothe and quiet him. Some- times it's a touch of colic. Sometimes constipation. Or diarrhea a con- dition that should always be checked without delay. Just keep Castoria handy, and give it promptly. Relief will follow very promptly; if it doesn't, you should call a physician.
