Sold by all dealers in medicine 'or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Wil- liams’ Medicifie 00., Brockville, Ont. Ask your neighbors. There is not an inhabited 'corner in Canada where Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have not reetored some sufferer, and all over this country there are grateful people who do not hesitate to say they owe healthâ€"in some cases life itselfâ€"to this great medi- cine. If you are ailing begin to cure y’oureelf toâ€"day by using Dr. William-3’ Pink Pills. This is, exactly what Dr. VVilâ€" liams’ Pink Pill-s do. Their chief mission is to make rich, red blood, and this good blood reaches every organ and every nerve in the hu- man body, thus driving out disease and bringing renewed health and strength "00 thousands of weak, de- spondent people. 1 Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are use- ful in any disease caused by thin or impure blood, and the list of such diseases is astonishingly large. Anaemia literally means a condi- tiOn in which the blood is thin and watery. In rheumatism the blood becomes thin more rapidly than in any other disease. After an attack of la grippe or acute fevers the blood is always thin and impure, and Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are the tonic to use during convales- cenoe. When the blood is poor and thin the stomach suffers. The 'food ferments, gas” and oertain acids form and the trouble is pronounced indigestion or dyspepsia. The nerves receive from the blood all of. their nourishment to keep up their energy and repair waste or damâ€" age. Some forms of paralysis are caused by thin blood. The pro- gress of locomotor ataxia is stopâ€" ped in many cases when the blood is made pure, rich and red. This is only a partial list of the trou- bles having their origin in impure, watery blood, and all can be cured by supplying the blood with its missing constituents.

The Toronto Street Railway franchise has but,eig‘ht more years to run, end though the com- pany is making surplus profits at the rate of about $1,500,000 a year. $22,000,000 is a big price to pay for an eight-year fran- chise. In 1921, when the franchise comes to an end, the City will get for nothing what it is asked to pay something for now, though at the same time it has to be re- membered that there is the possibility in 1921 of a his: argument over what the city will be obliged to pay for the plant and equipment of the railway even after its franchise is enhausted. From a. provmcial point of view the sit- uation is complicated by reason of the fact that the Street Railway and the Elec- tric Light Company both have long term contracts with the Electrical Development Company, the chief competitor of the Pgovinicel Hydro Electric _(_Jommission: A party of some twenty English M.

The remarkable thin about the party was the extreme difficu ty ip getting any of them to express an omnion on any political subject whatsoever. The explan- etloq of_ thisflcurmus tsetse dogbt lay Before the matter is finally settled there will no doubt be some warm discussion and perhaps interesting developments. Lesa courageous mayors would not have tackled such an big problem, but Mayor Hocken from the beginning of his term has seemed determined to make his reglme mean something, Undoubtedlv there will be vigorous on- position to the proposal. The Toronto Telegram early showed its colors and is opposing the whole business with char- acteristic vehemeuce.

It, is expecwd the vote will be reached about the last of September. or perhaps some time in Octo- ber, that is, providing the Hydro Electric Commission give the arrangement, the stamp of its approval. Just what Hon. Adam Beck and his cpl- leaguee will say to it is somewhat. diffi- cult to guess. They may come. to the conclusion that the deal prejudlces the rights of .the other municipalities outside Toronto now being served by the Hydro Electric Commission. If they come to such a decision they may arouse the hostility of Toronto’s Mayor, who apparently be~ lieves that the deal will be a. good thing for everybody. and that if Toronto wants to spend her money buying up these local concerns it is nobody's business but her own. | THE wumn IN REVIEW | .Mayor Hocken and Sir William Mackem me have now come to terms which they have agreed to submit to their principals. What the exact terms of this agreement are is not known yet. Sir William on his part will submit the pronosal to his share- holders. Tha Mayor before leaving for a holiday trip in Newfoundland, also passed the agreement over to expert valuatgrs who will check up the figures, after which it is to be considered by the Provmcial Hydro Electrg: Commiseien. 7 I According to the daily papers. a prom- inent .voung society girl of Toronto. spend- ing her holidays at a. well known summer resort, ran away with a young man whom she had not known for more than ten days and got married. She wan immedi- ately taken home by her parents. The next day her husband appeared in the police court and the bride's faiher was preparing to institute proceedings in an attempt to have the marriage annulled. This is one of many incidents reflecting a sort of daredevilishness that is exhlhitâ€" in! itself in Canadian society, but which onlv in a modified form and rarely see the light of day in the newspapers. Thanks to an obliging Canadian press. it is not difficult to keep such stories out of print. this being one of the outstanding d15- tinguishing characteristics of the news- papers of this country as compared. to th_<_)_se of our neighbors to the south: The fact is that according to private gos- slp there are any number of incidents ocourring in Toronto and Montreal when do not reflect any credit on the stamlna and soundness of Canadian character. One frequently beams the prediction» that some day. if things no on as they are. there will be a tragedy in Canadian society. so called, which may attract the attentiOn of the world. These conditions apply only to a certain small set. A good many people in Canada view with suspicion the conduct of the United States toward Mexico. It is not evident that there is any ground for this suspicion ex- cepting the feeling that the United States has not always been most considerate In its attitude toward Canada. and that per- haps if she saw a good chance to absorb Mexico she would not be averse to taking it. Such critics point out that the United States obtained the Panama. Canal zone by tactics that were not altogether free from criticism, that she has more recently obteined a. protectorate over Nicaragua by the same methods and that she would not be averse now to cleaning up the man from the 49th parallel to the Isthmus of Pgnalmtt by_ securing; a._ status _in Mexico. One wonders sometimes if it would not be it good thing if Canada had one real "yellow" newspaper which would go after these proceedings and bring them to pub- hc. attention. Perhaps the fear of nub- licxtv and the light 'of day would be a. vastly more repressing influence than have been lthe laws of the land or respect for mom a.

The Eskimos make the former into sails for their boats, and the latter they slit and stitch together, to form hooded coats that are far superior to rubber‘as water-proof garments. The garfish, a fish found along our coasts, has a skin that can be pol- ished till it resembles i ‘ory. It is used in making pictu1'r»~l'1'a.mes and jewelâ€"caskets. The skin of this fish was used by certain of our Indian tribes to make a sort of armor. It is so tough and hard that, accordâ€" ing to some accounts, a breastâ€"plate made of it will turn a knife or a. spear; In Russia certain peasant cos- tumes are trimmed with the skins of a food fish, the turbot, and in Egypt men wear sandals made from the skins of fish caught in the Red Sea. In our own country, too, the cod has been used in a similar man- ner, for in bygone days a good many shoes and gloves have been made in Gloucester from the skin of the humble cod, says a New York par per. Eelskin is useful for many pur- poses, among them the manufacture of leather binding for books and for braiding 'into whips. Most girls’ names sound as if then mothers were novel readers. There is found in Turkish waters a strikingly unattractive fish called the angel-fish, classed among the littoral sharks. This fish yields an extremely high quality of green leather, much esteemed in the Ottoâ€" ma-n dominions. Conspicuous in the party were two for- mer Canadians, Hamar Greenwood, a grad- uate of Toronto University, and Donald McMasber. a graduate of McGill University. Both of these men have made distinct. successes in law and politics in England, the former as a Liberal and the latter as a Unionist. Both are comparatively young men and may be in line~ior still further honors. Greenwood is a particularly ag- zressive type and his career is a verit- able romance. While Canada is the land of opportunity for many ar pennileee im- migrant, England proved to .be the land of opportunity for young Greenwood who, on his arrival there. was as pennilees as any immigrant who set foot upon these shores. Undoubtedly his skill on the plat.- form has been a source of strength to his party.

It has been found that when the bony plates are removed, the patterns remain on the skin, just as the patterns of alli- gator scales remain on alligator leather. a circumstance that adds greatly to the value of the product.

The Skin of the Shark is Used For Many Purposes. A good many kinds of leather are got frOm sea creatures, some of which are very curious and beauti- ful. The skin of sharks is a. beau-ti- ful burnished gray or bluish color. The surface resembles finely grained leather, inasmuch as it shows many tiny prickles set all one way. They are quite invisible to the naked eye, but there are so many and they are so finely set that you distinctly feel the roughness of the surface if you rub your hand over the skin in the direction opposite to that inrwhich the prickles point.
