A Trying Time for People With

time for debilitated, run-down people.
The close air of shut-up houses, lack
of out-of-door exercise, the restricted

feet on weakened systems. There is !

Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills-. If, unfor

and strength. Among those who have
proved the value of Dr. Williams'’ Pink

mercial possibilities o-f the fisheries'
in these waters will require further'
investigation.
Some of the varietiesi of shell fish
already being caught and marketed
each year from Canadian waters are:
clams and qu’aliangs, 55,000 barrels-;
cockles, 200 -cwt.; crabs-, 67,000 cwt,;
, lobsters, 340,000 cwt.; mussels, 75
, cwt.; oysters-, 21,000 barrels; scallops,
18,-000 barrels-; shrimps, 1,200 cwt.;
winkles, 2,000 cwt.; dulse-, 5,000 cwt.
In the ocean are found- all of the
eighty odd elements known to exist
on the earth and the plants and ani
mals that stay in the sea all their lives
live in a medium that contains - every
chemical element that can be needed
in physical growth. This cannot be
said of land animals and plants that
derive their mineral constituents from
the soil in their immediate neighbor
hood. In man and so-called land ani
mals, disorders and diseases are
lawn to be caused or influenced by
deficiencies of calcium, phosphorus,
iodine, ii'on and many other sub
stances. The inclusion of sea foods in
human diet goe® a long way to correct
man-y., of the-s-e common deficiencies
and a more general consumption of
such marine foods as shell fish forms
an inexpensive and pleasant corrective
for many of the physical ills- of life.
Shell fish as a dias-s are a safeguard
against mineral an-d vita mine deficien
cies in the diet and tliev fies-erve more
attention th-an tliey have had from
chemists and dieticians from this- point
o-f view.
Modern research on food and nutri
tion have brought to light many sur
prises, both as regards th-e nutritive
needs of the body and the dietary pro
perties of individual foodstuffs, among
which the most marked contrasts have
been found. In no case, according to
th-e Resources Service, have any foods
gained more recognition as- having
unique dietary values than have the
principal fish and shell fish. It is also
comforting to know that Canada’s sup
ply of these foods is- ample and that
the immensity of the fishing ground
would indicate -that with adequate re
gulations-, the” supply can be made to
sustain a permanent Industry of great
commercial value.

Speaking at the annual meeting of
the American Public Health Associa
tion, Dr. Jones declared that his in-
vastigarions, carried out with albino
rats, show that shrimp., clam and
oysters contain protein of high nutri
tive value and are important to the
diet of man because they contain e-le-
me-nts essential to 'the growth and re
pair of body tissues.
Th-e more general appreciation of
the nutritive and corrective values in
these foods and consequent increase
in their consumption would be- a great
bc-on for Canadian fisheries, comments

A Matter of Expression.
Once upon a time, two men met and
talked, 'literature. One of them was a
Hugolater, the other was not. And
the infidel- said to the faithful disciple:
“You worship a god that is no god.
His oracles are hollow.” The Hugo-
later denied this. Then the other
picked1 up a random, volume of the mas
ter and' said: “I will read from his
works; listen, and interrupt me at the
first original thought.” And the in
fidel reads and the hours’ passed, and
the day wore on towards' evening, and
still he read uninterrupted. When he
looked up he saw that the faithful dis
ciple was fast as>leep. Was 1-t because
of tills that he had not Interrupted; the
reader? Be that as it may, when the
other had awakened him, he cried out:
“At least, you cannot deny that Hugo
has a wonderful flow of words.”
The worshipful admirer is quite
right: Hugo is a marvellous master of i
expression. In gamut and in variety
of resources he is almost unrivaled.
In, occasional felicity, in effulgent
Bplendor, and in bursts of eloquence,
he will bear comparison with the very
greatest. Such gifts belong to only a
few in the long rol-i of the poets—
they belong only to those who are like
Hugo, marvelil-ous masters of expres
sion. Accordingly, in a study of liis
style, after' the enumeration of each
of the many faults which unhappily
are the make-weight of these remark
able qualities, the critic ought to add
iho refrain: Still Hugo to a marvellous
master of expression. But to do this
a hundred times- in succession would
be t-o let oneself fall 'into one of
Hugo’s most persistent faults, repeti
tion—unredeemed by -his equally per
sistent virtuosity. So let the reader,
throughout the present chapter, after
the making one by one of the stric
tures that Hugo's style Invites, imag
ine each on-a followed.' by the counter
blast of a band of devoted admirers
hymning in GoiistanUy growing cres

The girl wanted a fur coat, She-was

her fiance. She had no money saved
up, but she wanted that coat; so S'he4,
went to one of her brothers and asked
him to finance the matter for her,
He -told her, kindly but plainly, that
he didn't care to do it. “You ore
working and earning money,” he said,
“and you live here at home free of
any expense for board or lodging. AR
the rest of us contribute toward the
family expenses. You must not ask us
to buy your clothes too-.”
The girt’s mother told her that undetf'
no consideration must she contract
bills that she could not pay before she
was married. She must cany no debt
into her new home for her husband to
shoulder.
But the girl wanted the coat, and
finally bought it on -credit. Within a
very short time an unexpected busi
ness opportunity that came to her
■young man made it desirable for the
couple to be married at once. The girl
had paid but Mtti-e on the coat, and
dared not, or at least preferred not to,
tell her husband of the debt. She has
made skimpy and Irregular payments
from such money as- she could divert
from the household expense fund, so
that the original bill of two hundred

have been extra expenses, and there
is now a third member of the family

And the coat is no longer new, but is
a little worn and shabby, and not in
the best style.
The etory, which is true in every de
tail, need-s no moral, says- a writer in
Youth’s Companion. From the dealer's
point of view it is so familiar that it
is commonplace, but from the girl’s
point of view it comes near to tragedy
—in fact is tragedy. Sooner or later
she must tell her husband^ or the deal
ers will. What is he likely to think?
How shall he regain the confidence in
his wife that two years of silence and
concealment will have shaken?

by the redemption or sale of municipal
debentures an-d other holdings which
had risen to high premiums-. The rate
earned on th-e mean invested assets
for th-e year rose to the phenomenal
figure of 6.69 js?.i>eent., this being con
tributed to by dividend increases,
bonuses and other privileges granted
on the Company’s holdings1.
From the total surplus earned dur
ing the year, $20,457,077, the Company
has made large and prudent appropria
tions. After making these allocations,
which add substantially to the unas
sailable security of the Company, an
addition of $5,715,564 lias been added
t-o undivided profits', bringing the total
surplus- over all liabilities, contingency
accounts and capital stock to $34,011,-
565.
Perhaps, however, the features of
the report of outstanding interest to
the public are those relating particu
larly to benefits to policyholders. Dur
ing the year profits amounting to
$9,285,526 were paid or alloted to
policyholders, this amount being eight
times in excess of the amount paid out
ten years ago. For six years past in
creases In profits to policyholders have
been announced, resulting in a doub
ling of the profits scale during that
period. For the seventh successive
time a further increase is- announced.
The great total of $38,576,453 has- been
paid out during the year in respect of
death claims, matured endowments,
etc., bringing the total so paid slnce-
organization to $257,816,174.The high rate of interest earned
enables the Company to distribute
profits- on tilie assumption of 5% per
cent, per annum being earned on the
Reserves. The' same rate of interest
to being allotted to beneficiaries on
the proceeds of matured endowments
and death claims left with the Com
pany. In this way again, policy-holders
are participating in the great pros
perity of the Company.
Not the least gratifying portion of
the report is the fine showing of busi
ness written within the Dominion.
Here again a new record is established
for Canada in a massive aggregate of
$10-2,000,000 of paid assurances.

Some Musical “Storms.”
There- are two ways of describing a
storm at sea In music, one by experi
encing it and -the other by imagining
it. Haydn wrote a very effective des
cription by the latter method long be
fore ever he saw the sea, though when
he did first see it he had to cross the
channel on a rough day. The story
is that for a certain -opera he had to
introduce such a storm. The libret
tist told him his own experiences of
a storm and the composer tried to re
peat even if ever so feebly what was
described. At last the patience of
both was about exhausted and the com
poser hammered with his fists on the
keys and exclaimed: “The devil take
the storm.” “That’s it, that’s it,”
shouted the poet. “You’ve got it.” All
his trying had resulted in nothing, but
an accident gave him the Idea which
he was ablo to carry out properly
when writing for the orchestra. Wag
ner, on the other hand, wrote the fine
storm which opens his opera, “The
Flying Dutchman,” with the memory
of several days of bad weather tra
velling down the North Sea.
