He was discussing the announce- ment of his latest benefaction, his £1,000,000 gift to Oxford University for the creation of a new college and i the endowment of Fellowships.

"The lea that giving away money Is an easy thing is the biggest tal- hiry," said Lord Nuffield. "My res ponsibilities and worries have in- created 500 per cent, over my busi- ness worries."

Sentiment collided with interest in carly stages of the United States reaction to the Sino-Japanese un- declared war, and business opinion did not exert any decisive mandate, upon the course of United States policy. Lack of confidence in the neutrality law probably further con- fused the general renetion to the Far, Eastern struggle.

The historical sympathy of the! United States for China and the ten- dency to support the weaker party in a struggle were countered by econa- mic interesi based upon the large and flourishing commerce with Japan

TOO MUCH SUNSHINE CITED AS CAUSE OF

INFANTILE PARALYSIS

YOU ARE

JUST AS OLD.

AS YOU FEEL!

Al middle age and in advancing years many men, and women too. find their health slipping, vague aches and pains assall them and they nre at a loss to know the cause. In most such cases a tonle for the blood, to repair the wear and tear on the nerves and tissues will usually restore normal healthy, well-being, for on the condition of the blood good health depends,

Because they create fresh supplies of rich, red blood, Dr. Williams" Pink Pills are an invaluable tonic imparting new life to the whole system, restoring digestion, strengthening the nerves and preventing those aches and pains which are so often the cause of a rapid decline in later years.

Many men and women to-day are thanking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for the good health they enjoy; here is the experience of a couple in Australia:

"Most people think my husband is only about fifty years old, actually he is seventy but la very active," writes Mrs. E. Meriton, Main Street, Korong Vale, Viclork, "The reason le that whenever he gets tired and a bit off-colour he always takes Dr. Williams' Pink Pills which keep him wonderfully well, I take these pills too, for when I was young I suffered from anuémla and my mother gave them to me und I made a splendid recovery. Now whenever I get run down, Dr. Willams Pink Pills soon make me well again. They put wonderful life into us and we rarely feel weary and tired."

For all allments arising from an impoverislied condition of the blood, such as digestive disorders, insomnia, emaciation, premature ageing, rheumatism and its kindred aliments, Dr. Williams Pink Pills are the ident remedy. They are equally good for men, and women at all stages of life. Begin your cure to-day. Chemists everywhere seil them,

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
