The man or women | wh has not enough blood is pale, lanâ€" guiu, easily tired and casily depressâ€" l’ed. As the trouble progresses other symptoms show themscl.vs, and the life of the sufferer is one cf misery. ; Anaemia opens the door to consumpâ€" tion, and gives victims to all the epiâ€" _demic malaaies, becauce the whole toly is weakined and rnable to reâ€" sist the inroads of discase. Dr. Wilâ€" lizms‘ Pink ‘Pills are the best remedy in the worlo for the cure of anaceâ€" mra, and all its atterdant miscries. They make the Liood rich, red â€" and pure, thus bringing | bealth and streugth to weak, despondcnt â€" men and women. _ We do not know of a single case of anaemia where Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills bave failed to cure if given a fair trial. | Mr. John [lastings, Venn, Sask., was a victim of this trouble and foun1 new health through Dr. Wiiliams‘ Pin‘ Pills.

FORMALLY OPENED Leading Jeweler PINK PILLS i run 132 ‘‘The address," Prof. Horning staâ€" ted, "is only a few thoughts which I as a man, have given to this subâ€" joct.‘" He _ then gave a somewhat humorous description of the manzer in which man has treated woman sayâ€" ing ‘"From Adam to the present Hay man has been tempted to say, ‘The woman she tempted me.‘ It is proâ€" bably due to her first mistale, that be has assumed the rule over her to keep _ her in subjection.‘" _ In past dark ages, he pointed out that woâ€" man was never considered the equal of man, she had fewer rights _ and was _ considered the weaker vesscl. From history, sacred and profane, he showed@ â€" how woman spent her life, meriting by her faithfulness ‘a higher place than man gave ber. To illusâ€" trate how faithful woman is to duty, he mentioncd such examples as the mother of Samucl and Debora. Jaâ€" cob served fourteen yearsâ€" of his lic for Rachael.

At the carly impressionable age, she teachos them the first important steps in theit education, and _ those principles that stay with them right through life. _ If our country possess good _ thorouglily honest, intelligent mothers, _ it will produce good citiâ€" zens. After the mother has taught the first Iessons, the children are sent to school. _ The Professor spoke for some time upon the value of a good fteacher, an‘ also of the â€" fact that the grmht joy of teaching was in watching the pupils grow in intelâ€" lect. The learned gentlcman stated it to be his opinion that women were equipped just as well, intellectwally to fill any position a man _ could whether it was science, law or mediâ€" cine. _ There is indeed _ a great need for _ women doctors like Dr. Helen McMurchy in a country where‘ there are so many children in our schools to look after. _ Women are just _ as good students as men. _ In proof of this statement he said that out of three firstâ€"class honor gradvates â€" im Toronto University, two were girls After speaking _ of "The Woman Abroad"‘ he touched upon the servant problem _ the Professor giving the reason for women being so unwilling to go out at service, is because the Christianity mistresses profess is so different from what they liye, and it is on account of the way ladies treat servants that they cannot procure help. _ In factories, the girls have regular hours and can have their evâ€" enings. _ is the keypoint of that home. It is around the wife, mothcr and daughâ€" ter that the home revolves. Canada can do without a schoolâ€"teacher but not without a mother to guide _ a young life and teach it at its most impressionalle age. _ When it comes to animals, a great deal of attenâ€" tion is paid to blood, that _ the stock may be the very best, but what about our men and women? The ladies of Canada gave it in their hands to make some arrangements whereby those urable to train and support children be d:barred from making a home. * Professor Horning spoke somewhat discouragingly of the agitation _ for the franchise for women, saying that women would hardly do better thar the men if they had a vole After the excellent and inspiring address Miss Hockey in an cloquent little specch moved a hcarty 1ote of Ahanks which was tendorcd Prefessor Hotning. â€"_ The speaker treated the subject of "Woman â€" at Home‘"‘ in a broadâ€" minded manner, ard as he humorousâ€" ly remarked "as if all were lovely and ofâ€" goos report."‘ _ There is no question, â€"he stated, that if this is to be the age of Canada, democracy aud woman, it is also an age â€" of scientific rescearch ard thought. Man and woman are complimentary creaâ€" tures. One is necessary to the other, and because of this fact, there develops the home, and the woman agze of chivalry was fictitious, it could toi last long. ~ The Reformaâ€" tion brought little for woman.

The purâ€" pose of the airâ€"washer was to purify and cleanse all the air that is fanâ€" ned into the various rooms of _ the school and is being installed in all of the large public buildings of _ the Province. Chairman Reid visited the Technical School in Hamilton where ore of the washers has been installed and alter investigating the excellent results that are achieved came to the conclusion that it would bee a mistake not to instal one in the new building at present in courseâ€"of erecâ€" tion. The Building Committee also It was decided, however, to allow the Daughters of the Empire to take ong hour of a certain day in each of the schools during which adâ€" dresses on the life of the late Queen Victoria could be delivered and a colâ€" lection taken up in behalf _ of the monument. Aid for Monument. iiegent Mrs. W. M. Davis, of the Princess of Wales Chapter â€" of the Daughters of the Empire, wrote stating that Manager G. O. Philip, of tre Theatorium, has kindly offered to give a series of entertainments â€" durâ€" ing an afternoon providing that the school children attend in a body; 300 at a time. While the Board _ was in sympathy withâ€" the object of the Daughters of the Empire it was the general opinâ€" ion that it was not within the jurisâ€" diction of the Board to compel the children to attend entertainments as suggested in the request. £ The Secretary of the Separate Echocl Board potified the Board of the appointment of Mt. John A. Lang as representative on the Board cfi Education. as it will be constituted this _ year is decidedly unsatisfactory. _ Instead of the eleven members working . toâ€" gether for the welfare of all the eduâ€" cational interests of the town, there is a dividing line caused by the apâ€" pointed members only being permitâ€" ted to take part in the transaction of Collegiate Institute affairs, while the elective members participate, in all the business that is transacted by the Board. ‘The main argument used in advocating the amalgamation _ of the two Boards was in order _ to bring the Public and Separate schools and Collegjate Institute into closer relationship, but the . majority _ of the members of the present Board cannot see how this desirable end will be accomplished under the conditions as they will exist this year.

The Principal sugâ€" gested that several of the old typeâ€" . writers be exchanged for new ones.

There was a somewhat lengthy disâ€" cussion regarding the continuance of the â€"night classes for domestic . sciâ€" ence pupils at the Collegiate, notâ€" withstanding the fact that the speâ€" cial grant of $450 expected from the Government was not received.

The Board pissed a resolution sancâ€" tioning the purchase of the piece ouf land at the rear of the Collegiate Inâ€" stitute for recreation purposes . and the transfer will be made in a few days. The total cost will be about $3400. Chairman _ Reid intimated _ that there was a deficit in the accounts of the Collegiate Institute of $427, and if this grant had been received _ the statement would have shown a balâ€" ance.
