IN the quaint little Northamptonshire

miles distant from the hall. Lodgings
are at premium, and what the trades

Mr.. Van Allen has just made most
important appointment, and one. too.

been head gardener at the hall for
many years. but when the place was

said one teacher, indicating a little
barefooted fellow fast asleep at 10 in,

a rough time of it! He goes to the
dock gates in the afternoons and begs
food from the men fortunate enough to
be returning from work"
Most of the pawnshops are full and
refuse to accept more pledges, so that
this last resource of the destitute is
denied them. Many empty houses
have been broken into by homeless
wretches that they might at least find
shelter, and possibly sleep, on bare
floors and wooden benches. Less f0rtu-
nate than these, on bitter nights, when
the spectacle of a homeless dog would
awaken pity, scores of human derelicts
may be seen huddled together for
warmth on seats and benches, or
stretched out on the bare ground in the
parks. The law requires the police to
Keep them moving, but they have not
the heart to do it. They look the other
way and pass them by.
In all of the slum districts similar
scenes are witnessed. Cases of actual
starvation are frequent, and In many
others, to which officialdom gives an
other name. lack of nourishment has
been the accelerating cause of death.
One poor woman. leaving her starv-
ing husband in the empty, desolate
house, sought all day in vain for work.
Convinced that when she returned home
her husband would be dead, she decided .
to seek reunion with him in another
world by plunging into the Thames.

words Yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing-down pains, f1atulency, nerv-

These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed a life of suffering or serious

The never-failing remedy for all these
