THE COLBORNE EXPRESS. COLBORNE. ONT.. THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1928 Aak Equal Honors Freedom League Contends More Women Are Entitled to Knighthood and Peerage British women, a great number of whom rose to distinction in 1927, are asking for more honors of knighthood and peerage as public recognition of their work. Out of 193 honors granted by King George V. at the beginning of 1928, only twenty-five were conferred on women, and these were of the low rank. The Women's Freedom League, in view of women's records of accomplishment, considers this an unfair flection on their public activities. "Peerages have been given to two Conservative members of Parliament and a former Governor of Nigeria," the league declared in a formal ment. "Why was the Duchess of At-holl, the parliamentary secretary to the Board of Education, not given a similar distinction?" Of thirty men who won knighthood, twelve, according to Miss Francis A, Underwood, secretary of the league, were granted it for political and public services; two of the men were distinguished surgeons and one a journalist; but no woman in these sph was given an equivalent honor. "There are a great many wo Just as deserving as men, and we pari ticularly think that women should be made privy councillors," Miss Under-wood said. "I do not see why women should not be given peerafies, baronetcies and knighthoods. There should be no distinction whatever now that men and women are doing the "It is the privy council which has decided that women should not be admitted to the diplomatic and consular and Indian civil services and if wi went on the council I think this would be altered." British women have pust had eeptionally successful year. M< men were chosen for the office of Mayor than in any other year. The election of Lady Iveagh brought tin number of women members of Parlia ment to seven.

'NEW STRENGTH FOR WEAKJTOMACHS Indigestion Disappears When the Blood is Enriched The most urgent heed of all who suffer from any form of Indigestion Is a tonic to enrich the blood. Pain and distress after eating Is the way the stomach shows that It is too weak to perform the work of digesting the I food it takes. New strength is given ; to weak stomachs by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills because they purify and en-irich the blood. This accounts for the I speedy relief in stomach disorders [that follows the use ot this medicine. I The value of this medicine in cases of indigestion is shown by the case of Mrs. George W. Johnson, Lequille, N.S., who says:--"I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I was greatly distressed "It's a shame that 1 have to sit (here mending your old clothes."

Don't Make aTby Out of Baby -Babies Have'Nerves- By Ruth Brittain children can be traced to the overstimulation during infancy, caused by regarding baby as a sort of animated toy for the amusement of parents, relatives and friends. Baby may be played with, but not for more Uian a quarter of an hour to an hour daily. Beyond that, being handled, tickled, caused to laugh or even scream, will sometimes result in vomiting, and invariably causes irritability, crying or sleeplessness. Fretfulness, crying and sleeplessness from this cause can easily be avoided by treating baby with more consideration, but when you just can't see what is making baby restless or upset, better give him a few drops of pure, harmless Castoria. It's amazing to see howqukkly it calms baby's nerves and soothes him to sleep; yet It contains no drugs or opiates. It is purely vegetable--the recipe is on the wrapped. Leading physicians prescribe it for colic, cholera, diarrhea, constipa- j tion. gas on stomach and bowels,1 reverishness, loss of sleep and all other "upsets" of babyhood. Over 2."> million bottles used a year shows its overwhelming popularity. With each bottle of Castoria. you get a book on Mot'.ierhood, worth its I weight in gold. Look for Chas. H. 1 Fletcher's signature on the package so you'll get genuine Castoria.

No. 2 Interviewer: I have been informed, Dwitch Religious Body Asserts Atmosphere of Games Is Not Conducive to Prayer .Amsterdam.--Hostility to the forthcoming Olympic Games has arisen in Dutch religious circles and a report on the subject by seven Amsterdam clergymen has been made public. The report, adopted at a recent meeting of the council ©f the Dutch Gereformeerde Church of Amsterdam, which must not be confueed with the better known and older Dutch Reformed (Herforme) Church, says.: "Taking all things into consideration there appears to us to be ample justification for decisively opposing the forthcoming Olympic Games. Here everything is opposed to the principle of loving God above all else and loving one's neighbor as oneself. The strongest being is here the most exalted and is raised to the place which God alone should occupy. The neighbor, by craving for notoriety and personal glorification, allows himself to be <exploitetd in order to satisfy the craving of the masses for sensation and emotion. ■"Not only the character of the games, but also everything connected with them must compel us with all the earnestness at our command to issue a warinng and strengthening word against this glorification of man, against this cult of the herd, which is opposed to practically all God's sacred commands. That in such a sphere the prayer that the Saviour taught his disciples cannot be sent above, needs, after what has already been said, no further demonstration. It, therefore, appears to us to be desirable that the Church councils should, before the opening of the Olympic games, address to the congre-from the pulpits a word of not reached the stage where it i warnlnS and admonition.
