The Tablets give such results that the mother has noth- ing but words of pmise and thankful- ness for them. Among the thousands of mothers throughout Canada who praise the Tablets is Mrs. David A. Anderson, New Glasgow. N.S., who writes:-â€"“I have used Baby's Own Tablets for my children and from my experience I would not be without them. I would urge every other moth- er to keep a box of the Tablets in the house.” The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which: regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach; drive out constipation and indigestion: break up colds and simple fevers and 'inake teething easy.

Brockvilie, OnL Up till a very few years ago the Dominion Government had not voted any money at all for the great work of Child Hygiene, and yet money was voted to improve the breeds of cattle, sheep, pigs and even chickens. Thou- sands of dollars were spent annually in bringing emigrants to this coun- try from Central Europe, many of whom were not the most desirable type, and yet not a penny was voted for the care and improvement of the best settler this or any country can ho e to haveâ€"the nativeâ€"born child. Al over this province at the present time there is a crying need for child welfare Work. The infant mortality In many sections of this province is deplorany highâ€"in one or two places it has mounted up to over 260 deaths per 1,000 births. Just think what this means! Two babies out of every born never reach the first year of 1 e. Something must be done to reduce this awful wastage of human life, for it can be reduced. It has been reduced Church, Montreal. In referring to the high rate of infant mortalit in Quebec as compared with New ork, Toronto, and-other cities, Dr. Hart said that babies do not interest some types of politicians, because the babies have no votes. Can this be true? Is it a fact that there are to-day. politicians in the public life of Canada who care not for the welfare of those who have not a vote to cast at an election? It is hard to think that such a state of affairs could exist, and yet indifference to the subject of Child Welfare appears to be _rpuchfiin evidence in high places. _ A striking statementâ€"one that pro- vides food for thoughtâ€"was made recent] by Rev.

Not long after the battle, as a recent writer relates, Lo'rd Anglesey, who then was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, visited Ball'ynahinch Castle in Conne- mara. During the last part of the long rough ride that brought him to the castle he was accompanied by Ulick Burke. a retainer of the Martins of Balrlynahinch. Ulick walked beside Lord Angiesey's horse, and the rider fell into jocular conversation with him and presently asked him gayly which of his legs he liked better. Ulick had notived that one leg was artificial, but he pretended that he had not noticed and answered casually that “one leg was as good as another; there was no difference in life." Lord Anglesey, delighted at the testimony to his suc- cess in wearing his new limb, explain~ ed that it was artificial and told how he had lost the real one in battle. At the end of the story Ulick said, gently touching the cork leg, that there was a “differ” after all. "Sure, Your Lord- ship, this is the more honorable." Every man, woman and child needs new, rich, red blood at this time of the year. That is a scientific fact. All doctors know it. The blood grows thin and poor in the winter; there is not enough ot'it and spring shows the ef- fect. Take notice and see how many people are pale and sellow at this time of the year. 'They complain of being easily tired, their appetite is poor, and they are pften depressed and low- spirited. That is mother nature urg- ing them to improve their blood sup- ply; but often their digestion is weak. ened so that they cannot turn food into blood without help. Here is where modern medical science comes to the rescue. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have a direct action on the blood and enable you to get full use of the blood- making elements in your meals.

The above statements are borne out by the ex- perience of Mr. J. P. Greschuk, Janow, Man, who says:â€"“Very recently I found myself in a badly run down con- dition. My stomach was quite out of order; I could eat but little and what I did eat did not appear to nourish me.

Public Health Education is gradually forging its way into the homes and hearts of the people, for it is only by education that the people can know how to reduce the death rate among infants, how they can have the large percentage of physical de- fects corrected in young children, thus paving the way for a healthier man- hood and womanhood in the genera- tions to come. The principles of hy- giene must be taught in the home, in the schools, in the lecture hallâ€"any- where that people can hear. The com- munity nurse, the public lecture. the moving picture, the Child Welfare Clinic, the health article in the news- paper, the display poster graphically pointing out the way‘ to healthâ€"all must be commandeered and put into active Service if a real effective cam- paign for child welfare is to hope for success. There are many causes, some of which are tuberculosis of the lungs, the internal use of arsenic, cold, de- bility, and in women, pregnancy. Apart from the conditions just named, the disease may be symptomatic of various affections of the nervous sys- tem such as general paralysis of the insane, tabes dorsalis, meningitis, etc. Oftentimes there is no apparent cause for this disease.

The ordinary traveller by train prob- ably could not say whether he was be- ing carried at forty or fifty miles an hour, and certainly very few men could recognize an increase in ' speed of a mere five miles an hour. The speed lover of the Royal Family was King Edward, who was never really happy unless his train was swinging along at a good seventy miles an hour. Queen Victoria went to the other extreme, and would never be car- ried at more than thirty miles an hour, a speed that on a long journey would have been more than enougle to dis- organize the whole system on any line on which she was travelling.
