Camouflage so perfectly done that the boat will fit into the Surrounding water well enough to fool the wariest old duck afloat or awing. ,Tne sink boat is almost, but not quite, exactly what its name implies, for it Is sunk to the point where it will just remain afloat and no more, with the deck and coamings the only protection between the gunner and the deep Hue sea. Obviously, such boats cannot be used in rough waters. The boat itself is nothing but a simple scow, made to fit either one or two gunners. The large wooden deck and the side wings serve to steady the scow and are practically awash at all One Government building had 200 different types of door knobs, said C. le Maistre, secretary of the British Engineer Standards Association at Oxford. Ready^ When your Children Cry for It Baby has little upsets at times. All your care cannot prevent them. But you can be prepared. Then you can do what any experienced nurse would do--what most physicians would tell you to do--give a few drops of plain Castoria. No sooner done than Baby is soothed; relief is just a matter of moments. Yet you have eased your child without use of a single doubtful drug; Castoria is vegetable. So it's safe to use as often as an infant has any little pain you cannot pat away. And it's always ready for the crueler pangs of colic, or constipation, or diarrhea; effective, too, for older Children. Twenty-five million bottles were bought last year. Dolling Up Trader Horn for His Visit A hat made for a Dutch predikant, or minister, crowned the noble brow of the old buccaneer, pioneer big-game hunter, and what not, when he crossed the Atlantic to the land of noisy fame. It was the best Mrs. Ethelrada Lewis could do in the stores of Johannesburg, South Africa. Old gentlemen are very difficult things to dress, she confides to u her introduction to "Harold the Webbed, or The Young Vykings" (Simon and Schuster), Trader Horn's second book. When the Trader set out to visit England and America, Mrs. Lewis, his literary sponsor, knowing well his casualness with clothes, undertook to supervise his wardrobe. Then she found out all about the difficulty, although, as she continues, she allows exceptions: Not perhaps with the English military type or the strong, silent, - aging, hundred per center of New York. There is a formula for such types easy to follow. But an old gentleman with a beard! . . A literary old gentleman! . . . well, of course! He must have an old-fashioned inverness cape, such as all the literary Victorians wore so effectively. A cape made, if possible, of rough gray Irish tweed wit ha doggish suggestion of a big chet«k woven in it. A Victorian old gentleman with a beard! . . . Well, of course--a soft black hat of poetic build, such as Tennyson . . . Yes, and a wide shepherd's shawl or plaidie for the shoulders to enclose-, the beard in winter weather. I saw it all--and then I looked at the Golden City and felt that the vision splendid could never be brought to reality in such an environment. After a week's search, I began to despair. I then entered a store which eventually did try to solidify my ideas with some deree of intalli-gence. I found the wire, soft plaidie. I found a black hat: not the Tenny-.=onian hat of my dreams, hut Mill-- it was a soft black hat. I looked at it thoughtfully as the young man held it out. What did it remind me of? Not Tennyson; it missed the poetis rake of the brim. Not an English parson--that jolly, adaptive headgear. Not ... it looked more smug than any of these. Closer, less frank of out- ARE YOU RUN-DOWN? All That is Needed is a Tonic to Build Up the Blood There are many people who have been semi-invalids so long that they accept their condition as a life burden. They have endured nervousness, broken sleep and a generally rundown feeling so long that they have given up hope of again enjoying good health. In most of these cases a well chosen diet, fresh air and a tonic to build up the blcod would do wonders. And as a blood-building tonic no other medicine can compare with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. There is scarcely a spot in Canada where you will not find some formerly ailing person who has found new health through the use of this medicine. The experi-e:»:e of Mrs. Thomas Ahearn, St. Malo, Que., bears out these statements. She says:--"I have the greatest reason to be thankful for what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done for me. I was in a very weak and run-down condition. Frequently I would faint and my legs would swell badly. It was almost impossible to do any housework. It seemed as if my blood had turned to water.

How Many Feet in a Second? The Proper Way t Judge Your Car's Speed for Safety's Sake Charles Hopewell, police magistrate, of Ottawa, Canada, contributed to a recent bulletin of the Ottawa Automobile Club a suggestion for motorists which, if universally followed, would no doubt effect a marked change for the better in automobile statistics. "Cease to think in terms of miles and hours," writes Magistrate Hopewell, "and think in terms of feet and seconds.\ . . If an object suddenly crosses your path fifty feet ahead from where you are sitting at the wheel "jgj. ■ and you are travelling thirty miles per '-our, you have only one second in hich to act to avoid an accident, and "If I were you, madam," said the thoughtful voice of the young man, "I would perhaps not mention to Mr. Horn for whom we stock this shape.

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, of East Hamilton, Ont., who writes:--"Shortly after coming to Canada I began giving the Tablets i uen if they to my baby boy who was then six I ,r_______ weeks old.

What should therefore be constantly in the motorist's thought is the time limit which "'"jhis speed is seting for him should an | emergency rise up before him. j Experienced drivers will generally ask for (agree that this is good advice; many instead : might probably add that they have ' found it out for themselves. But the statistices show by inference a considerable proportion of drivers who give no thought whatever to the number of feet that a car goes in a second. Cars are driven both responsibly and irresponsibly, carefully and carelessly. The responsible driver must needs be vigilant to protect his passengers and himself'against the irre-sponisble and careless. A driver whose perception is trained in terms of feet and seconds is far more likely to have his own car in constant actual control, and to be quicker to judge the speed and behavior of an irresponsible, than is one who thinks in terms of j numDer miles and hours. It is not space and I time behind, but space and time immediately in front, that he may have to reckon with. As things are, a good many drivers, as they come to hear of it, will no doubt adopt Magistrate Hopewell's suggestion, and one may believe that he has thus prevented a good many mishaps that might other- 10c All News Dealers Sell It « Ontario Sales Agent Ontario News Company 10c 122 Richmond St. W.
