THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 1928 TO THE MOTHERS OF Ml RALE GIRLS if Your Daughter Shows Signs of Anaemia a Tonic is Needed. Anaemia is simply a lack of blood. It is one of the most common and at the same time most dangerous troubles from which growing girls suffer. It is common because the blood so often becomes impoverished during development, when girls often overwork and overstudy. It is dangerous because of the stealthiness of its approach and because of its tendency to grow steadily worse. Every growing . )glrl should occasionally take a tonic |discussed in a recent number of "The A Hundred-Foot Jump A fantastic novel, probably by H. G. Wells, once described the visit of men to the planet Mars. One of the first things these adventudes discovered was that, owing to the small size of Mars and the decreased gravity, they were ale t0 jump three four times as far as on the earth. Jut something of the same sensation is to be had even upon this lead-With a small balloon any can jump a hundred feet. The possibilities of balloon jumping feature of amusement parks to ward off this insidious trouble. Js because of their powerful action in 'rebuilding the blood that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have made a world- 'amply proves the value of this medicine. Miss Sullivan says: "During my 'school days I suffered a great deal Wm thin and watery blood. I was 'continually weak and tired; my appe-jtite was poor, my sleep unrefreshing and I was troubled with backaches. lYo make matters worse I was attacked with acute appendicitis and the 'operation left me in a very weakened 'state. My mother, learning of the [Value of Dr. Williams Pink Pills, had me take them, and after using them W some time I can say the rsult was '•imply wonderful, as they completely restored my health, and now when opportunity occurs I always recommend these pills to weak, pale girls suffering as I did." You can get the pills from your Iruggist, or by mail at 59 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Radio Station Aids Byrd Call For Men KDKA Sends Message t Arctic Eskimo, Asking 1 j Him to Join South Pole Expedition Commander Richard E. Byrd, e plorer and aviator, who is seeking erew to explore the Antarctic regions next winter, sent a message to the Par North recently by way of station KDKA to an Eskimo, named Noo-Ka-Ping-Wa, in Ellesmere Land, asking if he and five of his tribe would like to make the trip to South Pole. Noo-Ka-Ping-Wa lives near Canadian Royal Mounted Police Post en the Bache Peninsula, about 600 f miles from the North Pole. The message follows: "Would you like to go down to t^e Antarctic with me next winter? Want five others of your tribe to go along. Want five men and two of their wives who are good at sewing. Want good strong men and good dog team driv- Noo-Ka-Ping-Wa accompanied Commander Peary on his North Pole trip and aided other Arctic explorers. The next mail from the North will not be sent down to civilization until August, so Commander Byrd will have a long wait to learn whether-Noo-Ka-Phig-Wa accepts the offer.

The balloons, which twenty feet in diameter and cost $500, have a lifting power of 187 pounds. The brave passenger, who weighs, let us eay, 140 pounds, has small sandbags tied on to him until his earth-bound self and the aspiring balloon weigh together 182 pounds. Then he takes a hop, skip*and jump. He finds himself Tising, rising in the air, with nothing between him and the ground but his own nervous feet and a light rope to prevent him from being kidnaped into the clouds. But the rope is only a precaution. In fact, his ride is a jump and not an ascension, and unless he is murdered by bald eagles or electrocuted by the high voltage wires that infest the upper air, he comes slowly down, after an excellent tenth-storey view of the world, and pays ?1 for ten of the most exciting minutes of his life. ^ A deposit should be required on every balloon. Clients who cut the rope and connect with a northeast wind ought to pay for the cost of getting disentangled from the top of the highest elm tree in the district. tit [&M 6is good tea The Orange Pekoe is extra good In clean, bright Aluminum PUTTING ON A SHOW FOR LINDERBURGH One of Mexico's famous bull fighters putting on a "show" to explai fine points to America's leading airman.

In brief, our objects ar as follows: may meet with unknowns fret proye to the world the utility of with nn o.rn„tiri nro-a-ni^.f^hg flying-yacht, and to demonstrate the practicability of all-metal construction. Secondly, we are going to survey flying-boat conditions from, the Mediterranean to Central Africa, for have now joined forces with Captain Gladstone and Mr. Blackburn to What is the object of my 20,000 iles cruise round Africa, on which I shall be accompanied by my wife? Firstly, we are going to try stimulate the whole of Africa to tl. possibilities of air routes. We hope that when we have finished shal have ascertained the right type of aircraft for the work and the correct route over which to by sound propaganda and negotiations have laid the foundation of the future air route from Egypt to South Africa. A Pioneer Effort. We are taking the largest all-metal flying-boat in the world, because we want to find out if flying-boats are a practical proposition for operating on that 2,500 miles route up the waters of the Nile from the Mediterranean to Central Africa. Again, we want to come home from South Africa via the1 West Coast, and as aerodromes will be few and far between, we consider the flying-boat the only practical way of doing the job. It must be borne in mind that this is a pioneer reconnaissance flight, more or less over uncharted territory from a flying-boat point of view. Should we have any trouble it must be remembered that we are trying out a flying-yacht in strange waters, and that, ours will be a pioneer effort, where w difficulties, with no ground organization to assist us, and such troubles as would never be experienced on a regular air route. Largest in the World. Before going any further I must tell you something about our craft To start with, she is called the Short-Rolls-Royce Flying Boat, because she is manufactured by Short Bros, of Rochester, and fitted with two Rolls-Royce engines of 700 h.p. each. The craft is all built of metal, and, incidentally, is the first al-metal British flying-boat and happens to be the largest of its kind in the world. She is nearly a hundred feet In span and over sixty feet in length, and when fully loaded weighs nearly ten tons. Inside the spacious hulll there is a large cabin provided with beds, workbench, vice, and tool-lockers. There also a chart desk where the gator can work out his courses, ther are cupboards for food and bins for first-aid. In fact, we are equipped like any seafaring yacht.
