Canada Sets.
Army Goals
OTTAWA. March S. InCanada
expects to put Army brigades of
about 6.000 men each in both Ko-
rea and Europe this year — and
to do it entirely through voluntary
enlistments.
The Canadian goal is 115,000 in
the armed' forces by 1954. — in-
cluding women — something the
14 million - population dominion has
never tried in peacetime. The
Army, Navy and Air Force now to-
tal about 66 000 men.
Military conscription, a bitter pill
for French Catholic Quebec, is ex-
pected to come only with the atari
of any general war. Government
‘ sources said last night if recruiting
holds up at anything like the pres-
ent tempo, the services' manpow-
er requirements can be met with-
out it by the spring of 1953.
Canada's Korean contribution,
when the brigade gets into action
within the next two months, will
rank third in number among the
rational forces there. The United
States and Britain will exceed it.
Three Canadian destroyers and
an RCAF air transport squadron
have been under UN command for
months.
Present indications barring an
carly end to the Korean war, are
that the dual overseas Army role
will require about 18.000 or 20,000
men either serving abroad or train-
ing at home to rotate with or rein-
force the men on foreign duty.

Unborn Lambs Bring
Record High Prices
SAN ANGELO. March 6. —
Local sheep buyers report a new
record price for unborn lambs.
Gordon Nowell. Sheffield, Tex.,
rancher, contracted yesterday to
sell 3,000 to 4.000 Rambouillet spring
lambs for $35 pei hundred pounds.
The previous high price was S32.
The lambs, mixed muttons and
ewes, are to be delivered in the
fall. •
“Almost every month I suffered
from cramps, headache, or back-
ache—due to female functional ail-
ments. What bothered me most was
that I'd start feeling so nervous,
tense and strangely restless several
days before my period.
“My druggist recommended Lydia
E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
to relieve this distress. He told me
to take it regularly throughout the
month to help build up resistance
against such female misery. (It
tastes swell in a little fruit juice.)
I must say Lydia Pinkham's Com-
pound is simply wonder ful and
gives me amazing relief-not only
from monthly pain but pre-period
•I nervous tension and tired, dragged-
out feelings of this nature. I urge
every girl and woman troubled this
way to try Pinkham's Compound.”
P. S. Many women prefer Lydia
Pinkham’s TABLETS with added
iron. Handy to carry in purse.
