Diarrhoea, dysentery, colic and 'cholera lnfantum carry off thousands. of precious little lives every summer. The mother must be constantly on her guard to prevent these troubles or if they come on suddenly to fight them. No other medicine is of such aid to mothers during the hot summer as Is Baby's Own Tablets. They regulate the bowels and stomach, and an 00 casional dose given to the well chlld . will prevent summer complaint, or it the trouble does come on suddenly will banish it. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockvllle, Ont. W ‘ The timid man never creates any-. thing.

Say to your friend: "You think you are observing, don't vou? ‘I‘hen. perhaps. you will tell me how many times 1 brush your back with this clothes brush." No matter how observlng he is. he “'1” be wrong. The chances are that the laughs of those who are looking on will acquaint him with the fact that there is "a trick about the trick," before you haye brushed 1113 back more than once or twice. The fact is that you do not ,brush his 'back with a clothes brush at all. While you appeared to be doing this, you were bruslr lug his back with your hand while you were bruslng the front of your own coat with the brush. If you will try this you will discover that it is impossible to tell, when the strokes of the hand and the strokes of the brush are simul- taneous, whether the brush or the hand touches the back.
