WRONG MEN CITED FOR PROOF
Those who set out to show that there is no poetry of importance written to-day, usually cite for proof the wrong men, writes Charles Powell in "The Observer." They fix on the difficult, centrifugal poets, who live by thought alone, move within the brain's orbit and away from the imagination of the heart. There are, of course, others who hold that this is the only poetry, of importance, and that its importance is very great. But
with these there is no need to linger. To those who seek to know whether there is not. some, evon much, fine poetry going cut} from men whose poetic nature is well-rounded, who, pivoting on the

More over, he does it in a music that is ampler, more tranquil, more in unison with nature's own English poetry will go on because our poets know that their abiding quality is not born of wars nor can thrive long on satire, Mr. Sassoon, com- monly labelled war-poet and satir ist, commonly taken for a reality. at-any-price man, shows in his most
treasurable book, "The Heart's Journey," that the reality he stands, and could intensively be, seen always to have stood for, has a deeper root than that:

Nursing Mothers.
Women nursing babies should carefully watch their own health and daily regularity, for failure to de this lets loose poisons into the blood which rob the baby's food of purity and strength. The most eff:lent laxative for the nursing mother's use is Pinkettes, which act as gently as nature and neither gripe nor purge. Pinkettes dispel sick headaches, bilioümess, flatul- ence, keep the skin clear and the breath sweet. Of chemists, or post free, 60 cents the vial, from Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., 60, Kiangas Road, Shanghal.
