g , ' Adrian’s nuts are iislt‘l’EttiiilS Care of Home and Children Of- . ten Causes :1 Breakdown. The woman at home, deep in house-I hold duties and the cares of mother-1 hood, needs occasional help to keep her in good health. The demands up on a mother's health are many and severe. Her own health trials and her children’s welfare exact heavy toils, while hurried meals, broken ‘rest and much indoor living tend to weak- en her constitution. No wonder that the woman at home is often indisposed through weakness, headaches, backâ€" aches and nervousness. Too many women have grown to accept these visitations as a part of the lot of motherhood. But many and varied as ; her health trdubles are, the\ cause is simple and the cure at hand. When well, it is the woman's good blood that keeps her well; when ill she must make her blood rich to renew her health. The nursing mother more than any other woman in the world needs rich ood and plenty of it. There is who lways unfailing way to get this good blood so necessary to perfect health, and that is through the use of Dr. \Villiams' Pink Pills. These pills make new blood abundantly, and through their ude thousands of weak, ailing'wives and mothers have been made bright, cheerful and strong. If you are ailing, easily tired, or depress- ed, it is a duty you owe yourself and your family to give Pink Pills a fair trial. 'What this medicine has done for others it will surely do for you. Hâ€"oâ€" Chinese Medicine. Dried frogs and asbestos are com- mon ingredients in the “order” which the Chinese doctor prescribes for his patient. For the sake of variety he may include in the prescription any of the following for which the patient perhaps may express a preference: Scorpions, rhinoceros skins, wood shavings, flies, crushed pebbles, moths, centipedes,’ toads, lizards, cater- pillars, powdered snakes or wasps.

This the watchers understood, for they used small boats themselves. Slowly iit made its way towards the tiny is- let standing like an outp0st of the New. \Vorld, a tall, gaunt. man, verging fon middle age and dressed richly in lscatlet, standing_in its bow, with a 'gold-bedecked flag dropping from its , staff in his hand. ’ fie boat touched land, and the tall iman, in an ecstasy of joy, with his fgreat eyes glinting with pride, flung ‘himself to the sand. Presently he kissed the dry ground; then, with ltears of deep emotion rolling down i his cheeks, drew his sword, raised his iflag, and proclaimed that he annexed [the land as part of the dominions of «his Majesty Fernando, King of Spain. After a Perilous Voyage. He was Christopher Columbus, the doyen of all Transatlantic Voyager‘s, a dour personage, who, during his for- t'y-andâ€"one years, had “undergone trials not a few.” ' Behind him; lay a voyage of seventy days. wherein he had seen no land or _ anything made by men that floated on the sea. His high-bowed and high- lsterned caravel, Sancta Maria. driven lby snowy sails with a scarlet cross emblazoned on them, had carried him iat a slow eight knots across the hith- 'erto uncharted waters, the sport of the tides, dependent upon Nature‘s winds rfor her propulsion in the right direction. ‘ Columbus‘ crews were unwilling ex- plorers. It is on record that some were felons brought from prisons to make up the companies of the three ships. A few crude navigation instru- ments and the sun and stars were all 1 his aids in the keeping of a due-west course, and the caravels had neither speech nor sight of their fellow-men l until, seven months after they set out, they once again made Spain. Only then could those who granted Columâ€" W - An Exception in Daylight Saving The daylight saving laws effective in many countries have never been placed in operation in the Panama Canal Zone. This is for the reason that there is very little seasonal change in the time of sunrise and sun- set for this latitude (approximately 9 _. degrees north). The earliest sunrises, occuring in May and June, are approximately 6 o'clock, and latest, in January and February, about 6.35. The earliest sunsets, in November, occur at about 5.50, and the latest, in June and July,‘bours at approximately 6.40. The usual working hours in the Canal Zone be- ing from 7 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon, the morning margin of daylight before work varies from twenty minutes to one hour. The evening period of light between 5 o'clock and the beginning of twilight (sunset) varies from fifty minutes to one hour and thirty-five minutes. To advance the time one hour would throw the 7 a.m. workers into the twi- light period and tend to reduce rather than increase their hours of daylight labor. The_ morning twilight period is about half all hour the year round, the evening twilight slightly longer. In the latitude of Southern Ontario, sunrise varies from about 4.20 3.111. in June to 7.35 the first part of January, pared with a variation'of thirty-five i minutes through the year in the Canal lZone. Sunset varies from about 4.25 m. in December to 7.10 in June and ,July, three hours and a quarter, as ' compared with the fifty minutes varia- tion in the Canal Zone between ear- liest and latest sunset. The twilight period is about the same. Daylight hours are about eight hours and fifty- iive minutes at the least in southern IOntario, and approximately fifteen and twenty minutes at the most. In the Canal Zone the hours of daylight range from approximately eleven hours and thirty-five minutes to twelve hours and thirty-five min- utes. The office of the chief hydrographer of the Canal Zone has recently fur- nished the police stations with charts showing the daylight, twilight and darkness periods tbrpugh the months. They are of use for occasional refer- ence in testimony as to the degree of light existing at the [hue under in- vestigation, as in traffic accidents. or where the possibility ‘of having wit- nessed an occurrence is questionable by reason of the degree of light at the time. The street lighting sche- dule is also to be arranged by the ‘or three hours and a buarter, as com- l charts. N. If lustea.

The Pioneer of the Airway. But to~:l':y school children learn that ‘ 1 Christopher (‘Ol‘lillllllS discovered America on October 12th, 1492. and‘ across the path blazoncd by SanctaT ‘Maria and her two frail consorts‘ countless ships come and go with the commerce and travellers of the Oldi land the New Worlds. The grey light of a wind-drivcn‘sky. almost hid the cigar-shaped hull of the great ship that had suddenly sailed; into the purview of the thousandsl of eager eyes watching for her advent. , Steam-whistles booted and syrens yelled, while the waiting crowds sent up cheer after cheer to welcome this pioneer of aerial navigation. Then the great ship of the air stopped, and hovered at a height of -two hundred feet above the huge field ‘ which had been specially made ready for her reception, Suddenly a small speck detached itself from onetof the microscopic carriages slung under her belly, and fell perhaps twe‘bty feet like a stone. Then it seemed to stop, and a para- chute opened out, revealing to the as- tounded watchers a British officer des- cending to the ground to supervise the berthiug of his Britannic Majesty’s AirshipR-34. This pioneer from the clouds carried a flag, nor could he annex land in the: name of the sovereign to whom lie\l owed allegiance. He did not kiSS the earth, though he was unfeignedly glad lto feel it beneath his feet. nor (lid he cry with joy. Instead, he set about seeing that the specially-trained moor- ing parties of American aviation me- chanics madeR-34‘s anchors properly fast to her moorings. Then the great airship commenced to sink lower and lower till her belly almost touched the ground, and from her gondolas there stepped less than a score of men. With Every Scientific Aid. Behind 11-34 lay a voyage of 3,130 miles, performed in 108 hours and 12 minutes, or just over four and a half; days. The great airship, 675 ft. long. had fought baffling gales and atmos- pheric storms. and nosed through fogs at an average speed of nearly thirty knots per hour. despite the fact ’ that her petrol supplies were growing alarmingly short. Never had she been the sport of the winds, -nor had she,| been compelled to grope her way. for skilled navigators, armed with ultra scientific instruments, had guided herr on the shortest route across the track less wastes of air. Her crew were all volunteers~in7 deed, one of them was so eager to make the passage that he stowed him- sef away. Never was R-34 for a mo- ment unable to establish communi- cation with her starting point and des- tination, for at intervals her wireless told other progress, and even sum- lmoned aid to stand by her when her“ fuel threatened to give out. And in less than a minute after she had touched ground, wireless tele- graphy 'told the whole world ofher feat. And hundreds of cinema camerâ€" as filmedsher as she hovered and landed, and thousands of people the same night witnessed in photographs the thrilling scene. And in the days to come the school children will be taught that Airship 11-34 made the first voyage from Great Britain to America, and reached New York on July 6th, 1919. Sancta Maria, under Columbus' 0r- ders, opened up the ocean pathways to and from Amer'ra; R-34, com- manded by Major Scott, R.’A.F., has opened/up the aerial tracks, and sure- ly it is not too much to prophesy that! airships will. in the not-far-distant: future, be as numerous in the air: above as surface ships are on the broad bosom of the Atlantic. 9.“ Lost Arms Without Pain. Our story of a man being blown away, unhurt, by the explosion of a bomb which he did not hear must seem incredible to many people. Here is something like an analogy. King Edward once brought together at his dinner table Rustem Pasha, who had had half his right hand and part of his arm torn off by}. bear, and Sir Edward Bradford. who had had his, left arm up to the elbow mulched. away by a tiger. The two men compared notes. iNeither had felt the least twinge of lpain at the time. They imagined that‘ ‘their intense desire to save their lives . ‘dullcd all other senses. l â€" i .

Woâ€"oâ€"oâ€"oâ€"W Good news spreads rapidly and drug- gists here are kept busy dispensing freezcne, the ether discovery of a Cin- cinnati man, which is said to loosen any corn so it lifts out with the fingers. Ask at any pharmacy for a quarter ounce of freezone, which will cost very little, but is said to be sufficient to rid one's feet of every hard or soft corn or callus. You apply just a few drops on the, tender, aching corn and instantly the soreness is relieved, and soon the com is so shriveled that it lifts out with- out pain. It is a sticky substance which drieswhen applied and never inflames or even irritates the adjoin~ ing tissue.
