One lesson of the war is that we must
guard the health of our children, pre-
vent indiscretions of diet and instill hsb
its of life that will conserve health and
produce generation fit TO serve tn,
country in time of need. Many of the
disabilities shown by the recent army
examinations could have been avoided, in
| the opinion of medical men, if simple
rules of health had been followed dur
! ing the formative years in the lives of
the young men examined.
That strong. calm, capable women are
almost as necessary as men in the prose-
cution of war is another lesson that
we have recently learned.
A fine, tall daughter, the pride of her
parents, may have grown too fast. If,
with her height she is calm, event tenn
pered, rosy, with bright eyes and a
springing footstep, you have nothing to
fear for your girl. But this rapid growth
is sometimes gained at the expense of
her strength. Hayward temper, con.
slant hunger for sweets, headaches, and
+. pain in the back and side after little
healthy exertion mean that instead of
entering womanhood smoothly and with
out disturbance, as she should. she is
paying already the penalty of thin blood.
Watch for moods. Look, after she has
climbed hill or run upstairs, for breath
lessness, color that comes and goes,
and heart that beats fast and pain
fully. These mean anemia, and an ane-
mic girl will never make healthy,
blooming woman.
A Tonic for Growing Girls.
Most growing girls need tonic, espe
cially during the years when they are
springing up most rapidly and when
their appetites are most tickle
A diet of tea and candy will ruin any
girls chances of future happiness A
plentiful and scientifically correct diet
might meet all requirements but this is
next to impossible. Hence the need for
a tonic. Almost every doctors daughter
is given a tonic during her period of
rapid growth but because your daughter
does not actually break down you do not
,all doctor and she gets thin and pale,
ldgets so that she cannot sit still on a
chair, eats the wrong things, eats too
fast, gets too little out -of-door exercise
md perhaps faces st. Vitus dance, or a
nervous breakdown.

1t is commonly met with in people
who have had keen anxieties, as those
who have cared for sick relatives, bust
ness men who worry over their affairs
and neglect to take vacations, women
who are too active socially. Anyone who
has too much excitement and too little

Doctoring the nerves with poisonous

only real nerve tonic is 3 good supply of
rich blood. Therefore The treatment for
neura sthenia, nervousness, and rundown

Inherited Rheumatic Tendency.

A tendency to rheumatism may be in
herited which shows that it is a disease
of the blood, added to the fact that thin
blood and rheumatism are almost always
closely associated. Keeping the blood
rich and red is the most efficient way to
prevent rheumatism and building up the
blood is recommended in order TO correct
this painful disease.

Constant Headaches.

People with thin blood are much more
subject TO headaches than full -blooded
persons and the form of anemia that
affiiets growing girls is almost always
accompanied by headache together with
digestive disturbances and constipation
Whenever you have constant or recur-
ring headaches and pallor of the face
they show that the blood is thin and
your efforts should be directed towards
building up your blood. A treatment
with Dr. Williams Pink Pills will do
this effectively and the rich red blood
will remove the headache.
More disturbances to health are caused
by thin blood than you have any idea of.
When the blood is impoverished the
nerves suffer from lack of nourishment
and you may have insomnia, neuritis
neuralgia or sciatica. Muscles subject to
strain are undernourished and you may
have muscular rheumatism or lumbago.
If your blood IL thin and YOU begin to
show symptoms of these disorders try
building up the blood with DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and see If the symptoms do
not disappear as the blood is restored to

 Scotland was shocked Wednesday morning, to hear that one of her most respected citizens, William M. Burn ham. had passed away. He arose as usual Wednesday morning and ate his breakfast and then went to do some chores. Mrs Rurnham was soon startled to hear him calling for aid to get into the house. Rushing to him, she assisted him into a chair where he expired immediately, his death be- ing a quiet and painless one

COME SAGE TEA

Common garden sage brewed into heavy tea, with sufphur and alcohol added. will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxu- riant Mixing the Sage Tea and Sttl- phur recipe at home, though, is trou- tiesome. An easier way is to get the ready -to-use preparation improved by the addition of other ingredients, a large bottle, at little cost, at drug stores, known as "Wyetn's Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding lot of muss. s7i-t'
 While gray, faded hair is not sin ful, we all desire to retain our youth
 full appearance ard attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so natural ly, so evenly. You just darnpent a sponge Or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. Af- ter another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and 1uxuriant and you appear years younger.
