NO REAL RESISTANCE The Japanese have not, so far, met with any real resistance, as the Chinese forces are all concentrated in the neighbourhood of Hangchow.
Trenches have been dug round the city, and barricades have sprung up everywhere, and the Japanese ad- vance will be made as costly to the

Will Her Dream Come True?
How Many Anaemic, Run-Down Girls
Have Become Happy, Healthy Wives And Mothers.
Many girls are deprived of the opportunity of a husband and a home because of their wretched state of health. Others, who do marry are often worse off, for a wife's ill-health has been the cause of many unhappy marriages.
One of the greatest menaces to health especially in early woman- hood is weak, thin, impure blood.
Blood impoverishment is responsible for the pale cheeks, gaunt figures, lack-lustre eyes, poor appetites, low spirits, and general enfeeblement of many young women to-day.
Many such anaemic women, and men too, have recovered vibrant health and strength by a course of Dr. Williams Pink Pills, the world famous iron-toric which actually creates new rich, red blood. Here is typical case in point, that of Miss W. Harvey, 13 Wreakin Place, Sheffield, England, who states, "I seemed to be always ailing, I had no asetite and felt listless and languid, I was very ansenic and my herves were in a . shocking state. I felt miserable and depressed and could not sleep at night no matter how tired I was.
My mother read about Dr. Williams Pink Pills and gave them to me Soon afterwards I began to eat and sleep better, as I continued taking the pills my health improved enormously and before long I was per- fectly fit."
If you are not feeling as well as you would wish, if you suffer from digestive disorders, nerve weakness, insomnia, rheuma m premature ageing, or other health troubles due to an impoverished condition of the blood take a course of Dr. Williams Pink Pills, what they have done for others they can do for you. Obtainable from chemists everywhere.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
