WHY DO SO MANY
AMERICAN WOMEN
WORRY AND FRET?
This Vermont Resident Discovered the
Reason and Is Glad to Tell
About 1t.

Robust, healthy rosy checked women
seldom worry. Their condition of body
and mind is such that they can rise
above the causes which produce melan-
choly and brooding. 1t is the woman
with weak blood who is thrown into
nervous unrest by little annoyances that
grow so monstrous in her imagination
that it seems as if she must scream to
relieve her feelings. When the blood be-
comes weak the stomach is disordered,
the nerves lose their strength, sleep IS
almost impossible and the increasing
weakness gives new cause for worry.
Mrs. Lucien Tremblay, of No. 209 Lake
street, St. Adams, Vermont, worried and
was unhappy until she learned that the
cause of her trouble was thin blood and
then she began treatment with DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills. She says;
Il had overtaxed my strength to such
an extent that it was impossible for me
to do my work. | worried constantly
over little things and was so nervous
that unusual sounds upset me. Every
thing / ate caused stomach distress and
blind me at times. | also had dizzy
spells and couldn't sleep at night.
"A friend told my husband about DR..
Williams Pink Pills and he procured a
box for me. After a careful treatment,
during which faithfully followed direc-
tions, regained my strength. My stom-
ach disorder disappeared and with it the
headaches and dizzy spells. I'm no long
er nervous and don't worry any more.

oW English Aviator Exercised
the Commanders Privilege"

a VIATORS were often compelled to destroy
~ their own machines to prevent the Ger
mans from obtaining some jealousy guard
ed secret about the new type of aircraft. This is
a story of an aviator who did that at the cost of
his own life.
There were two men-the pilot and his observer
in the latest flying boat which Engand's aircraft
builders had turned out. The two flyers were well
out to sea when fog came down and cut them
off from their companions. The pilot headed for
home. but the engine suddenly died"
hasty examination showed the pilot that only
a repair shop and squad of expert mechanics
could hope 30 make the engine run again. He
told the observer so, and the two men-the OBJ
server really little more than a bOy-sat down
to watch and wait with the hope that a British
patrol boat would come along and pick them up.
The night came on and the young observer fell
asleep. The pilot sat on the deck-cOaming and
listened all the night through. In the morning
he fog lifted and the observer, looking out over
the waters, caught sight Of little black smudge
