THE TONIC THAT GIVES STRENGTH Now is the Time to Invigorate Your System and Throw Off Winter's Ills. An unusually trying winter la almost over, but the spring will find many wlhose strength has been tapped and systems undermined by winter colds, Influenza, pneumonia or close confine- ment indoors. Recovery from this con- dition is often slow, but it can be has- tened by the use of a true tonic medi- cine. Strength and energy can be re- it ore d. the stomach toned up, head- aches banished and nervousness over- come through a fair use of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. Tfoese pills have a direct action on the blood, enriching and purifying It, thus bringing new trengrth to every organ and nerve la toe body. In thle way this medicine has brought new health to thousands of weak and despondent people. Among those who owe their present health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills m Mr. Clarence E. Mlsnr, Chlpman'a Brook. N.S., who says: "I had a very evere attack of Influenza, but after the characteristic symptom of that trouble had passed, I was left In a very weak and depressed condition. I could not keep on my feet for half an hour at time, and words can scarcely tell how badly I did feel. I had been tak- ing the medicine my doctor gave me, but It was not helping me, and as I bad used Dr. Williams' Pink Pilla on a former occasion with great benefit I decided to try them again. I got half a dozen boxes, and soon after begin- ning their use I could feel my strength returning. By the time I had used up my supply of pills, my old-time strength had come back, I could do my housework and keep on my feet all day without feeling used up ad form- erly. I feel Chat these pills have been worth their weight In gold to me, and I strongly recommend them to other weak, run down people." You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mall, post- paid, at 50c a boi from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville.

Latin smooth as cherry bark Must have borne such fruit. WJio'd have thought "apei-lo" Gave the sweet degree? Open windows, open brooks, Are Its prophecy. Open eyes to loveliness Of the bridal spring, In a midst of emerald Shyly burgeoning. Open souls to greet the gifts Of a heavenly hand, Pouring glories without stint O'er a radiant land. Open bird throats, rending buds, Add their jocund share; With such lures the open sloughs We can surely dare; Unafraid of sucking bogs In the woodland lanes, Tramp we home with mired feet, Proud of our campaigns. "April, April," how It lilts With- the bubbling stream! "April, April," thrushes call Through the ahowsr and gleam. Winter, then, our opon hearts Shall no more annoy; TOey shall greet the April dawn With an answering Joy. Eliot White. Your Job Is Your Key. "I will never get ahead here. There is nobody here that cares a continent- al whether I get on or not. It doesn't make any difference how hard I work or how I do my .work, nobody pnys any attention." Now, I often hear remarks like that. Employees say, "What's the use' I don't propose to wear my life out for' nothing. I am just going to do enough to draw my salary I will look for something better." My friend, do you realize that that something better waiting for you de- pends on how well you can do your work where you are right now? Your present job is the key that will open' the door to the place above you, and the door is not likely to open until you open it Success doors don't open themselves. They don't open very easily. 0.

Source A place name. You might suspect from tho ending of this family name that It had been originally the name of a place, used llrst to indicate the place of residence of sunn; early bearer. And so it was. "to" 1 a better word, for the town from which til! Is name came in the vast majority of Instances, so far as the available records Indi- cate, la still In existence. Denton Is the name of a place in the county of Buckingham, England. The manner by which tihe commu- nity got its name, is a simple one. | "Den," in the speech of the Anglo- Saxon, had a slightly different mean- ing from that which now is commonly j escribed to It, In the days before the I coming of the Normans it Indicated a depressed section of ground or va.lley j Naturally, euch places were likely to be wooded and to become the refuge of animals ; hence the modern frequent figurative meaning of the word. Den- ton simply meant the "town in the val- j ley." J The Canadian Spring weathetr one j day mild atid bright; the next raw and | blustery, Is extremely hard on the , baby. Conditions are such that the i mother cannot take th Httle one out ; for the fresh air so much to be de- 1 sired. He Is confined to the house, which is often over-heated and badly | ventilated. He catches cold; his j little stomach and bowels become dia- j ordered, and the mother soon has a , sick baby to look after. To prevent ; this an occasional dose of Baby's Own j Tablets l;ould be given. They regu- late the stomach and bowels, thus pre- venting or relieving colds, simple fevers, colic or any other of the many minor Ills of childhood. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

The place name, like the surname, Is pelled Farnham, and It Is located in Surrey, England. The name radbr clearly reveal* the method by which It originated, and the fact that It Is a combination of purely Anglo-Saxon words. The latter fact indicates, aside from historical re- cord, that it was an established com- munity before the coming to England | of William tihe Conqueror aud his Nor- man hosts.

The season of forest fire danger is approaching and the forest services, federal and provincial, and forest pro- tective associations, are making pre- parations to combat this great de- stroyer of forest wealth. Everything that modern science has devised will be used in the campaign patrols, lookout stations, telephones, tele- graphs and heliographs, portable pumps, gasoline trucks, power boats, railway speeders, and aeroplanes. These are all valuable aids, but the great engine for fighting forest fires is public opinion. Nearly all forest fires are caused by human carelessness, therefore when public opinion sets itself solidly against this carelessness, and holds it to be a crime against the nation, a large part of the cause of fires will disappear. Patriotic citizens can do, a great service for Canada by being! scrupulously careful with their owni use of fire when in the woods and byj helping to build up, whether they livei in the city or the country, a body of! public opinion about fires which will, deter the careless and strengthen the! hands of those who protect the forests, j In proportion to its size a fly walks] thirty-five times as fast as a human! being.

It has even been asserted that Adam was black. The latest theory regarding the color of the skin is that it turns en- tirely upon the question of salt. The writer of an ingenious book brings to- gether a mass of evidence to show that the darker the race the more it lacks salt as an item of diet. It seems that in some parts of Africa salt is such a luxury that the Negroes suck rock salt as we would confectionery. They describe a rich man as one who eats salt with his meals. The author of the salt theory states that each Briton eats about sixteen pounds of salt every year. In India, however, salt is taxed, and the aver- age consumption per head may not be more than three or four pounds. As everybody knows, the natives of India, although they would resent being called "black men," are certainly not white. It is remarkable how wide is the difference in complexion, say, between the natives of Samoa and those of New Britain. Anthropologists would say they were of different races, and probably they are, but it seems that "access to salt" is the cause of the difference between the blacks and the light brownft! So scarce is salt in Tahiti that Cap- tain Cook, the great navigator, de- scribed how saJt water was a royal drink, taken with great solemnity, a sip at a time, on ceremonial occasions. The writer finds, however, that people who live near the ne in that part of the world tend to grow lighter in complexion. ISSUE No. 18 '23. Ly^iJa,!
