Sully Brass Foundry Ltd. This Tonic Does More Than Bring Back Health A safe, powerful alterative is needed regularly by every person who has any manifestation of blood disorder. For only by purifying and toning the blood can good health be restored. Buckley's TRU-BLOOD is a proven corrective for weak, deficient or impure blood. First successfully used as a doctor's prescription, TRU-BLOOD is highly recommended for the prompt elimination of all skin affections such as pimples, blackheads, blotches, ulcers, fash, abscesses, eczema, boils, salt rheum and all troubles arising from impoverished or below-par blood. A characteristic tribute to the benefit of TRU-BLOOD is the following: "I used two bottles of TRU-BLOOD last Spring. It built me up, and gave me new life, and as long as I live I shall never be without it." TRU-BLOOD is more than a purifier of the blood. Use TRU-BLOOD and skin troubles will disappear. The complexion will become clear, smooth, colorful. Buckley's OINTMENT is a magic aid to TRU-BLOOD in permanently banishing disfiguring blemishes. Good druggists everywhere carry both. A SPRING TONIC AN AID TO HEALTH You Can Lay the Foundation of Good Health Now by Building Up Your Blood and Strengthening Your Nerves Through the Use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The good old fashion of taking a tonic in the Springtime, like most of the customs of our grandparents, is based upon sound common sense and good medical practice. Winter is always a trying time for those who are not in rugged health. Many men, women and children go through the winter on reserve strength they have stored up during the sunny summer months, and grow increasingly pale and languid as the spring days approach. An tonic for the blood and nerves at this time will do much for such people, by putting color in the cheeks and banishing that tired feeling that worries thousands of people at this season of the year. It is impossible to be energetic If your blood is thin and weak, or if your nerves are frayed or shattered. You cannot compete with others if you do not get refreshing sleep at night, or if your appetite is poor or you ; losing weight. You need a tonic this time to add to your efficiency now, as well as to save you from suffering later on. And In all the realm of medicine, there is no safer or better tonic than Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills tone and enrich the blood which circulates through every portion of the body, strengthening jaded nerves and rundown organs, and bringing a feeling of new" strength and energy to weak, easily tired, despondent men, women and children. Mrs. L. Hupman, Summerville Centre, N.S., writes:--'Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have been of the greatest benefit to me. A few years ago I was in a badly run down condition. I became so weak and nervous that I could scarcely go about and doing my housework left me completely used up. Everything seemed to worry me, and I was in a very discouraged condition when I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I soon found the pills helping me, and continuing their use I fully regained my health. Since then I always take a few boxes in the Spring to build me up for the hot weather, and always I find the best results. I therefore cheerfully recommend these pills as the best of health builders. You can get these pills from any medicine dealer, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Britain Seeks No Advantage In Capital Ships W. C. Bridgeman Denies It Has Superiority in View, and Regrets "Suspicions" London.---W. C. Bridgeman, First Lord of the Admiralty, was the chief guest at the annual dinner of the Institution of Naval Architects last night, when he expressed regret that "unfortunate suspicions" should have arisen over the recent British proposal that battleships of the fut--e should be not more than 30.000 to-.:., their gun calibre not more than 13.5 inches and the life of the ships pro-longer. He said that the same proposal made at Geneva last year re ceived a "good deal of- sympathy' from Americans and Japanese. Denying that it was Great Britain') obect to (sew™ any advantage ir superiority cf car.Hal -hips which had' been settled at the Washington Conference, he declared: "Out intention 5 Of The English Sparrow. "I understand the mayor of Chicago says every species of bird is welcome in his town as harbingers of spring but one." The Customs House officer sat in the parlor of his snug home, awaiting news of the important event that was taking place in the next room. Suddenly a nurse burst into the room bearing in her arms a small bundle. "It's a boy," she said, "and everything has gone splendidly." "Oh, has it?" replied the officer, absent-mindedly. Then in stern tones he addressed the bundle: "Have you any wines, spirits, perfumes, tobacco, silk, opera-" ses, watches-1" limitation afi economy equally fai: to all three countries-" Explaining why the British delegation to the dl-err.:.anient conference at Geneva raleed the question before 1931 when the whole subject of the Washington ag re ment comes up for review and reconsideration, Mr. BWfdgeman concluded: "The reason why we felt it should be raised before then is that if you are to lay dlown E.hips in 1931 you require to consider their designs two years beforehand. We have been perfectly frank in stating that we are not attempting to gain any advantage over any other country, and I still hope and firmly believe that we will come to an agreement with the other great naval powers. "I do not think we lost very much by our failure to agree at Geneva last year. We never quarreled. We left off with mutual respect for one another. We found a .great deal of common ground, and we shall look forward with the belief that in the future we will come to an agreement which will be of advantage to all the tries concerned." HLPT?

Once used, always used, as long as there are small children in the home --that is the tribute thousands of mothers pay the Tablets. Among the many, many mothers who are . anxious to tell of their experience with Baby's Own Tablets is Mrs. Griffith, ^ast Hamilton, Ont., who write:.--"Shortly after coming to Canada I began giving the Tablets to my baby boy who was then six weeks old. The result was so pleasing that since that time I have always kept the Tablets in the house. I have two children now and both of them are the picture of health. Baby's Own Tablets are the only medicine they have ever had and I really believe the Tablets to be worth their weight in gold." Baby's Own Tablets are free from all injurious drugs and can be given to the youngest babe with absolute safety. They are sold by medicine ers or by mail at 25 cents a box by The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. National Debt Also Reduced Last Year by the Sum of £69,000,000 London.--Great Britain has reduced its national debt by £69,000.000, besides balancing its budget. This is evidenced by a Government announcement that the official year ending on Satrday closed with £4,000,000 surplus. The optimism of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Winston Churchill, last April in estimating for greatly improved revenues hep thus- found justification, though hie doubtfuJ temporary expedient in exacting 18 months' tax on real estate and' 18 months' excise on beer in one year cannot be repeated. As a whole this forestalled revenue1 went into the sinking fundi. However, confidence prevails in financial circles that Hm corner is now turned since the heavy cost of introducing the gold standard has been met, and the gen-! eral strike and coal stoppage have re^ ceded into the past. Several facts have! now for the first time been brought to I light and support this view. One dsj a report the Ministry of Labor now I publishes which shows that of Great; Britain's million unemployed, no more than 70,000 have ceased- actively to look for work, while the remainder form a fluctuating body in which ail the individuals are employed a part of the time. Another is that the total value of the securities handled on the London Stock Exchange continues to rise, having been higher last month than any time since 1921. The third is that depressed as are conditions in some■ of the main industries, signs of re- i vival are increasing. In South Wales, ' for example, where, distress has been the greatest, work has been restarted at the Ebb Vale Company's coal pits, j which were idle for eight months, also in the Rock Collieries at Glyn Neath, j which has been closed since Christ- ; mas. Three steel blast furnaces at j Swansea, cold for nearly 12 months, ! also announce their reopening. FQUX.TBY Ai yL'AJLi'i'1 HOCK, LEUHORN, I VvyamioUe, Red Baby Chicks, tis.'.i) per 100 and up.

Spain Curbs Beggars; Madrid Expels 400 Madrid.--General Martinez An-ido, Minister of the Interior and one of the strong men of General Primo de Rivera's semi-military government, is determined to cure the professional mendicancy which shocks visitors to the principle cities of Spain. More than 400 of these "never-works" have been seized by the Madrid police and sent back to the places of their birth, so that the streets of the capital will be comparatively clear for at least the time they need to find their way back. Smuts and Status Saint... John. . Telegraph-Journal (Ind.): (When Hertzog recently asserted the right of the Dominion to remain neutral if Britain were involved in war, General Smuts asked: "How can the same King be at war and at peace at the same time in the same Empire?") The King cannot be at war and at peace at the same time in the same Empire. The British family is the world's leading force for peace. It has no aggressive designs. It is the chief pillar of the League of Nations-. It will never engage in unjust war. But its defence, should the necessity arise, is and must always be, a matter of common responsibility. General Smuts' question dissipates the fog in which some people seek to envelop an issue about which there should be no manned of doubt. A thing to be avoided in the discussion of Imperial relations is too much talk about rights and too little about duties and obligations. Minard's Liniment for Backache.
