According to an old English tradi­ tion, .there was a certain’ shrewd inn­ keeper who devised a scheme whereby he could pay his servants a minimum wage and still keep them satisfied and happy to render good service to his patrons. He installed a wooden box with a slot in the top, find on the faco of the container he painted the three words: To Insure Promptness. The guests soon grasped the idea and dix)pped small coins in the box when paying their bills'. It was ex­ plained that this Constituted a fund which was divided among the servants each week, so that each one felt satis- fled. The guests soon, fell into the habit of calling this receptacle the “T. I. P.” box, forming the word “tip” from tho capitalized initials of the three words. At the present day in many small hotels and restaurants in Europe there are similar boxes, al­ though without their purpose printed thereon, placed near the cashier’s desk. This is a clever way of hinting, to patrons that if they have not al­ ready squared themselves with those .who served, they may still have this op- ^prtunity. Then, too, in some of the foreign restaurants in this country, it is stated op. the menu that 10 per cent, of the check will bo added, "to-insure Service,” all of which harks back to tho old English innkeeper and 'his ’’Tip Box” significantly labeled’; ..

Tooth Brushes and Cod Liver Oil.

Government reports in Sas: lratchewan showed last year 'that .medi­ cal inspection of the school children at Charlebois, Sturgeon Landing and Cumberland House has revealed a startling amount of general malnutri­ tion among them with a correspond­ ingly great tendency to .the wasting ) diseases'. It was found that the diet of the average family among the peo­ ple of these districts, who are largely of native extraction, consists of hard bannocks, dried fish and tea and that this food- is so greatly lacking in the necessary constituents for growing children that their teeth and general condition suffer deterioration and'their physiques are below par. : ” With the facts before them the Junior Red Cross Society of the pro­ vince took immediate action to have tooth brushes provided for every school child in these districts; to sup­ ply enough codliver oil for the daily •ration of vitamins and fatej and to have funds set aside sufficient to en­ sure-surgical and medical attention - for all children suffering 'from adenoid or throat troubles.

The “Squaw Man” became widely popular through the interpre­ tation of the actor, William Fa versham.' In the accompanying photograph Mr. Friml is shown fingering a small keyboard. It is an Invention of his own and upon it he works out many of his compositions, while travelling overland where a piano is not available. An Airplane Legend. Some of the most thrilling results which have been brought to light in the deciphering of ancient .manu­ scripts in the various libraries of Eur^ ope, Great Britain, and Ireland are those which contain romantic stories which indicate a. foreshadowing of discoveries which we look upon as al­ together the result of material de­ velopments pertaining to the present ■ era. One of lie most curious of those is the tale'of''he appearance of an air­ plane, the account of which was writ­ ten- between the years 944 and 956 A.D., during the reign of an Irish king named Congalach. The authenticity of the date of the manuscript is be­ yond question, and the description is as follows: Congalach reigned’ in Meath—and was evidently given to farming pur­ suits, for the.story goes on to tell of his one day attending a fair at a place now called. Tefltown, '.on the Meath Blackwater, raidway- between the towns of Navan and Kells. While he was inspecting horses, for which that county is famous-, a sound in the sky caused him, and all the people, to look up, and they beheld a- large ship float­ ing far above them., It appeared to be fully equipped with a numerous-, and evidently ihte'lligent crew. After a time, during which the people in the fair gazed in silent wonder at the phenomenon, the huge vessel gradual­ ly floated toward some clouds ■ into which it entered, and the awe-struck crowds saw _ it no more. This same story is told with slight variations by the Norse documents, named Kongs Skuggio. Yet another tale ''is told in one of these Irish legends, 'in, which the writei' prophesies that a. time will come when carriages without horses will run through the streets of Jers- salem. These stories are, of course, mere legends of imagination, t but it is in­ teresting to find them noted in docu­ ments of unbounded aniuity, and in local as well as in ancient ruins and sagas; also that such shadows of the actualities of the twentieth century should have emanated from the Noughts of people in the tenth. It would be interesting to under­ sand the mental capacities, and the outlook of the persons who inspired such tales; and who thought them of sufficient importance to have them re­ corded on vellum. -------- ---------- Willie’s Troubles. Willie was dejectedly walking home from school and his woebegone appear­ ance attracted' the attention of a kind- hearted old lady. • “What is troubling you, my litle man?” she asked. "Dyspepsia and rheumatism,” re­ plied Willie. - “Why, that’s absurd,” remarked the old lady. “How can that be?” ..“Teacher kept me in after school be­ cause I couldin’t spell them,” was Willie's dismal answer. ....' 1 Treasures.

Should Enrich Their Blood by Using Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. ia to There are conditions of health which no particular organ appears be at fault, yet the patient is miser­ able and unable to pursue the activi­ ties of daily life with vigor and en­ joyment. " The remedy needed is a medicine that will benefit the whole system rather than a part. The blood reaches every" part of the body and an improvement in its quality is quick­ ly followed by an improvement in the whole system. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills make a prompt and visible improve­ ment in the blood, and bring new health and strength to ailing people. The value of Dr. Williams’ Pink PillS in cases of this kind is proved by the following statement: Mrs. W. F. Nash, R. R. No. 1, Bellamy, Ont., writing on behalf of her husband says: “For' the past two summers my husband has taken Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills with much success. He was in a weak con­ dition, did not sleep well at night, tired all the time, with popr appetite. The result was he got Very thin. He de­ cided to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and by the time he had taken three boxes he was feeling and looking so much better that it was very notice­ able that the pills were all they were recommended to- be. We feel very grateful and advise the use of the pills in all-cases of weakness.” These pills ma.y be had from all dealers in medicine, Or by' mail, post paid, at 50c a box from The Dr. Wil­ liams’ Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont. Mothers as Teachers of Pre-School Music. Mothers of to-day are taking their place as educators in a system of pre­ school music training recently inaug­ urated. Special classes for training mothers to share in ’the musical in­ struction of their children have been successfully introduced. In these classes it is recognized that expres­ sion and appreciation through listen­ ing must come first with the child, but that this should be followed closely by expression through bodily movement, the voice in singing, and the hands in playing the piano. A statement of the principle under­ lying this new instruction is contain­ ed in the pamphlet through quotations from Rose Ella Cunningham, who has developed such a program in Massa­ chusetts. She says: “To begin to instill the principles of rhythm in children while they are yet infants is not to begin a whit too soon. To teach children to sing as they learn to speak is not impossible, and child­ ren so taught in their first year pro­ gress rapidly until the time they en­ ter the first grade in school, when ^teachers welcome them as a distinct addition to their classes because of their unusual musical grounding. “We need look back, I think, only upon our own days’ of childish music lessons to know that children would far rather go from their music teach-, ers and their lessons back to a home where their music study is fully under­ stood and where they receive explicit encouragement based on the actual fin­ ger exercises and rudimentary les­ sons in harmony, than to go into the parental vacuum ■ which was our lot, when there, was no home interest in our musical studies, no understanding and comradeship in the study.” Winter is a dangerous season for the little one®, The days are change­ able—one bright, the next eold and stormy, that the mother is afraid to take the children out for the fresh air and exercise they need so much. In consequence they are often cooped up in overheated', badly ventilated rooms and are soon seized with colds or grippe. What is needed to keep the little ones well is Baby’s Own Tablets. They will regulate the stomach and bowels and drive out colds, and through their use the baby will be able to get over the winter season in perfect safety. In using Baby’s Own Tablets the mother has an absolute guarantee that she is giving her precious little ones something that is absolutely safe and something that cannot possibly do harm to even the newborn babe as the Tablets contain not one particle of opiates or other dangerous drug. They are sold by medicine dealers or at 25 cents a box, by mall, from The Dp. Williams'’ Ont. C5> FARM | ADIES WANTED TO DO PDAIN and light sewing at home, whole or spare time.
