It was not our intention to convey such an Impression, as we know that most grocers sell well known brands of other goods at less profit than they could make on some brands equally well known, and for the same reason that they recommend Red Rose Tomi simply to give their customers the, best possible value. 5 In our letter we mentioned Redi Rose Tea because it naturally came” first to our mind and because we knew i that grocers were selling it at a less rofit than they make on other teas. g.

Sometimes it is said than in‘ certain European countries the law compels the planting of a tree for every tree cut down, and it is urged that such a law should be enacted in the different provinces of Canada. The expression, however. is only metaphorical. \Vhat European countries do provide. is that for every acre of forest cut down. in certain areas unsuitable for agriculâ€" ture, another crop of trees must be started by either natural or ailificlal methods of regeneration on that area. When forest trees are planted the trees are set. say 2,000 to the acre. and when they are harvested sixty or seventy years later. they stand from 150 to 200 to the acre. If they had been planted 200 to the acre lhcy would have grown short and full of limbs from the ground up, and would be useless for lumber. Planted thick- ly they reach upward [or the. light. making long. clear trunks. The trees which never reach maturity are thin- ned out either naturally or with the axe after they have served their pur- pose. Important facts about tree growth are set out in Forestry Bulletin No. 69. “Care of the \Voodlot," which may be had free upon application to the Director of Forestry, Ottawa.

It must be re- membered that the blood has to carry nourishment to every part of the body. ilnd fuel for its energy and defences against disease, as well as the re- quisite juices for digeszion. Hence ‘wlicn the blood becomes weak and falls to do its work, indigestion arises; also when indigestion begins the blood still further suffers. Therefore. to Suicguell‘d your digestion, the blood should be kept rich and free from im- purities.

The value of this medicine in cases of stomach trouble is shown by the experience of Mrs. J. Lewis. Lake George, his, who says: “I suf- fered very severeiy with indigestion. I had severe pains in the stomach af< ter every meal. I had a loathing for food. my rest at night. was very much disturbed, and my general health was declining. I was under a, doctor's care. but did not find any improve~ merit. Reading of what Dr. Williams' I Pink Pills had done in a similar case I decided to try them, with the result that after giving them a fair trial, my general health was improved. and all symptoms of‘ the indigestion that ’had afflicted me disappeared. I feel very grateful to Dr. WiLliams' Pink Pills for saving mo from so much misery." .
