If Betsy was aware that she was looked upon as being in league with the Evil One, she gave no sign; it bothered her none whatever. She stayed within the dark confines of her hut, smoked Canada-Green tobacco in a clay pipe, and blasphemed to her heart's content.

Musical Sounds Under Water

Experiments May Prove of Practical Value in Navigation,

All the world has learned some- thing of the hydrophone—the instru- ment which enables the presence! of submarines to be detected by the vibrations they set up in the water. Less is known about the wonderful experiments carried out in connection with this work, in the production of sound under The meth ae ultimately adopted was to blow a jet of condensing steam from a nozzle on to a diaphragm under water. This | resulted in the production of a soft| musical note which could be heard by |

There is not a nook or corner in Canada, in the cities, the towns, the| villages, on the farm and in the! mines and lumber camps, where «Dr. | Williams’ Pink Pills have not been used, and from one end of the coun- try to the other they have brought back to bread-winners, their wives and families the splendid treasure of new health and strength.

You have only to ask your neigh-

bors, and they can tell you of some rheumatic or nerve-shattered man, some suffering woman, ailing youth

or anacmic girl who owes present health and strength to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. For more than a quarter of a century these pills have been known not only in Canada, but] throughout all the world, as a reliable | tonic, blood-making medicine.

f wonderful sticcess of Dr, Wil- liamis’ Pink Pills is due to the fact that they go right to the root of the discase in the blood, and by making the vital fluid rich and red strengthen every organ and_= every nerve, thus|
