"Oh, really, we're not as bad as all that you know," we say in effect, and the scolding fails in its object. One thing stands out in the article as perfectly unsassilable in its truth, however. That most women don't think it quite res peotable of a women to f

better than to tilk they do themselves. American women are regarded with this deep suspicion in the

English provinces, where the brilliant conversational powers of 14 la belle Ameri cainoara suspected to be the outcome of some sort of depravity. "Only dull medio crity, tempered by mannerisms, ls accept- able to these women." This is not at all an inept phrase to describe the talk that

1376 goes on at an average afternoon tea in a suburban drawingroom. If ever a prying male person wanted to find out how much women don't know, all he would have to do would be to listen unseen at one of these gatherings. It is not expected of anybody to say anything, and when they do say it, they say it very badly."Cackle" is a rude. word, but it expresses what goes on. Scandal is supposed to be the chief dish at afternoon tea, but a piece of scandal of any interest at all would stand out as a great fotellectual treat at most of these conclaves,

A woman will sometimes launch out into a long description of the wrong doings of some dreadful percon, whose sister in law was the cousin of the narrator's aunt, but local scandal would light up the coterie with an uncanny glare of lurid

interest. It is not the scandal about folk we know that makes dull conversation; that may always be made lively. But when we suddenly catch on to some half- whispered hrilling tale and find we never heard of the poople before, how crushing is our disappointment!

It is a dull world when we can't talk scandal. Mame Sarah Grand does not

Slang is not such a deadly conversational sin as it is sometimes painted in the glowing word pictures of reformers. Slang is oc. casionally very smart. But while some may use slang with impunity, from the lips of othera of our sex it makes us shudder. It

depends greatly upon the woman who uses it, and the kind of slang used. It may be laid down as an axiom that no woman over 30 may use slang with charming effect. Of course, aa very few women are over 30, this, if carried out and acted upon, would not check the use of slang very much.-- Exc.

says I certainly think Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is one of the best medicines made. I had been suffering from an attack of colic and after trying a couple of prescriptions with out relief, a friend suggested that I take Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I did so and the result was truly magical for it gave me immediate relief.. About that time several of my staff were attacked in a like manner and out of this same bottle I cured them all.

'No Conservatives Need Apply."

The following notice has been posted up at a boot factory at Kingswood, Bristol;

**Situations are open to Liberals only No Conservatives need apply."

One of the proprietors declined to say whether or not this notice had been put up with his authority, but he expressed, the opinion that men who were Conservativus

and who voted Conservative, should, go to Conservatives for omployment, and mon were Liberals, and voted Liberal, who should go to Liberals for employment. It was, he said, an insult for a man who voted one way to earn his living in the employ of

a member of the other party.

A Question of Indemnity.

|EMINENT OPINIONS PRAISING

{{DR WILLKAS PINK PILLS, FL

IN support of the opinion of the celebrat

od Dr Lapponi concerning Dr Williams' Pink Pills other eminent medical men have added their appreciation of this famous medicine.

Dr Lappon!, physician to Pope Pius X., recommenda this unique: blood builder

and nerve tonic in the following

terms :-

I certify that I have tried Dr Wil. liams' Pink Pills in cases of simple. An.

A few weeks'

treatment the

Viceroy Chou Fu has written a letter to in the future to extend the use of this the British Consul General of Shanghaitaudable proparation, not only in the replying to the claims for indemnity made treatment of other morbid forms of the category of Anemia, but also in cases of Neurasthenia and the like.'

Read also what another groat practitioner

by the British Consul General, says the Shanghai Mercury.

Dr George Oriol, 4, Rue de Entrepot, Paris, writes:

**Dr. Williams' Pink Pills yield ox- collent results to my patients in cases of proverty of blood, nervous debility and ailments of women. I have succeeded particularly in curing, by a relatively short treatment of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, a person suffering from aggravated Aamia."

Dr E. Coulbama, well known at St. Chinion, Herault, France, prescribes Dr Williams' Pink Pills regularly; This is his

In that lotter the Viceroy strongly donies. the allegation that the rioters came from Pootung via the French concession and for his assertion the Viceroy says there is written evidence. The Viceroy strongly maintains his views already expressed, namely, that the only authority who at tends to the protection of the settlement is the Municipal Council, and all the Chi nese who live in the settlement simply rely on the protection of the Municipal Council. The people who suffered most by the riot were the Chinese residents, Bix of the Chinese rioters who were wound. ed and died are the only people for whom no relief is needed. but the twelve others were quite innocent and

who died over 3 Chinese who suffered loss and relieved damage should be properly and have the right to claim indemnity.

However as the Vicoroy was afraid of caus. ing further indignation he did not try to do anything until overs thing became quiet.

The matter of de ling with Vice Consul Twyman and two foreign constables had been duly decided by the Waiwupu and the British Minister but nothing had been done And now the British Consul General seeks for an indemnity to be paid by China to foreign inerchants, but as the Shanghai Taotai is not allowed to send in his own troops into the settlement in order to suppress the rioters China has no

After ivory satisfactory experiment I regularly prescribe Dr Willi-m Pink Pilla for the anemic and the neurotic, especially primale patient Dr, William Pink Pills have given the happiest results among young girls, also mothers.
