The Work and worries of usehold cares should be avoid- ii)ai,t far as possible. But whether in :2, is able to do this or not, no woman should fail to take the tonic treatment offered by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which will build up her blood and fortify her whole sys- tem, enabling her to pass this eri- tical period with safety. We give the following strong proof of what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are con- atantly doing for suffering women. Mrs. Maragaret Wood, South- $eld, N.B., says :--"Some years ago I became a victim to the trou- bles that afflict so many of my sex, in the very worst form. The doctor in charge neither through medicine .nor local treatment gave me any help, and he decided that I must undergo an operation if I was to have any relief. During the next , vears I underwent four suc- 'e operations. During this ime I had the attention of some of the best physicians. From each soperation I received some benefit, but only of short duration, and -then I drifted back into the same wretched condition as before. Dur- ing all this time I was taking medi- cine to build up my system, but) with no avail. I was reduced to a anere skeleton; my nerves were ut- -terly broken down. My blood was of .8. light yellowish color, and I was <ro far gone that I took spells in which my lips, fingers and tongue would seem paralyzed. I cannot begin to express what I suffered and went through in those two gear-s. I was completely diseourag- «ed and thought I could not live long. Then on the urgent advice -of friends I began to take Dr. Wil- Iiams' Pink Pills, and after some weeks perceived as change for the better. I continued to take the Pills for several months gradually growing stronger and suffering less, and in the end found myself once more a well woman and en- joying the blessing of such good Iealth as I had not known for _i;ears. I now always keep these ills in the house and after a hard -day's work take them for a few days and they always seem to put new life and energy in my body. I sincerely hope my experience may be of profit to some other suffering women." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sol-5 by all dealers in medicines or will ‘be sent by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by addresr cing The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co, Brockville, Ont.

TOO LIBERAL TABLE rs ONLY Dr. There are but two ways to go ebout the Chinese city-on foot or in a sedan chair, writes 9, Canton correspondent. The streets are from_four to eight feet wide, the average being probably about six feet, and wheeled vehicles are out of the question. Even the jinrikisha, cannot be used here. If you try to make your way on foot the den- sity of the moving masses renders progress almost impossible and rowdies and piekpoplrets are 11um- erous, so that the best plan is to take a responsible native guide and chairs, Useful Sedan Chair in the Crowded Streets of the Cities. ”we "r""'""-'"', -_- ___ carts in use the entire merchandise of the city is transported in the same manner, not in chairs of course, but slung on poles carried across the shoulders. The noise resulting from the sim- ultaneous shouting of every one in sight, both in front and in tho rear, for the stream is flowing in both directions, is encugh to make one wonder if the long expected riot has not begun. PLOVER AS FARMER’S ALLY. Birds Destroys Various Insects That Damage crops. Of all our birds the plover is absolutely the most useful on the land, and we have the authority of the Board of Agriculture for say- ing that "the multiplication of in- sects injurious to crops" is the direct consequence of the fashion for plovers' eggs, says the London Daily Mail. "What l" said the ast lawyer. “Do you mean to ', sent them l" "Ah!" was the reply; thinking on what you said, 'em in Perry's name!" The bird destroys snails, wire- worms, beetles and all sorts of noxi- ous insects that damage, crops. As it feeds largely at night; it destroys many insects that other birds do not touch, and it has also a pecul- iar virtue in killing a water snail which indirectly is the cause of liver rot, a. deadly disease in sheep. "You say it is quite impossible for you to agree with Farmer Perry on these points?” said Hodge's solicitor to him. "Ay!" answered Hodge. f‘Then, I'm afraid there's no help for it; the matter will have to go before the judge." "I believe I won because I sent those ducks, after all," he said to his lawyer atiseapyards. Plover have been more than USU- ally numerous this year, and no doubt if their eggs were protected, as in Scotland, they would multiply yet more and save many thousands of pounds that are now spent on the fattening of the vireworm. It is becoming also a more popular prao- tice to keep plovers as a garden pet. They do inoalculahle good and are very interesting to watch, especi- ally at this season. "Not unless you wish to lose your case,” said the lawyer decisively. And Hodge left, apparently con- vineed. In due course thu case was tried and Hodge gained a verdict. “Very well," said Hodge, And then, after a pause, he added: "Do you think it would do any good to send the judge a couple of fine fat ducks l" In order to succeed you must have push. You can't even run a lawn mower without it. Some people tell the truth merely for the sake of stirring up trouble.

At other times they itched fmz'fully. and caused the child to scratch and rub, thus mak- ing the sores very inflamed and painful.
