The visitor finds it a land with an abundance of every kind of healthful winter sport into which he can throw himself with zest As In other parts of Canada skating and hockey take first- place, closely followed by ski-ing; then come tobogganing, curi-lng, snow shoeing, sleigh-riding and loo yacht ing. The facilities for these sports are excellent. Skating and curling rinks-, open and covered, are t-o be found In all hto cities and town®, and on several occasions in recent years the Intern ationa.1 Amateur Skating contests have been held at Saint John, participated in by skaters, not only from other provinces and the United States-, but also from northern Europe. Tile hilly character of much of the Maritimes makes -them an ideal field for ski-ing and the sport is spreading rapidly. The same conditions promote tobogganing and, where natural hills are- not convenient to populous centres, artificial slides have been erected to meet the demands of devotees of this sport. Snowshoeing claims many ad herents while jsl-eigh-riding after a s-panking team of hprg.es still holds a charm for many. yachting, in a land of yachtsmen where there are many lakes, broad rivers, and estu aries to provide the necessary ice room, naturally fills a prominent place in the list of winter sports.

Toward the late afternoon, we be gan our, climb of the coastql mountain chain, a rugged and austere range of hills that cuts off the interior plains from the sea. Up and up over the over- ascending road we made our way until, gaining the first elevated ridge, Gib raltar’s waters burst into view with dramatic suddenness. The sun was setting over -the sea as we toiled along the sinuous road that wrapped itself like a -serpent around the barren moun tains, skirting deep declivities, round ing rugged shoulders of the range, whence opened alluring panoramas of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, then heading inland- along the- ribbon of the highway, where we were hidden from all ‘prospect of the sombre waters. In -t-his hide-and-seek with the sea, we wondered whether we might be vouchsafed to witness the final salute of the sun to- the . . . day. Fortune was with us, for, having left the rapid-ly sinking sphere poised above the horizon, as we embarked- on a long cbetour around a beetling cliff, we emerged.just in time to see the dimming -circle of gold pause for an instant at the edge of the world, and- ^theii plunge with startling rapidity in to the Deaden waters.

At last, a group of houses appealed out of the gloom and in a moment more, to the gritting of brakes-, we came to a Anal halt at the -edge of -the Bay of Algeciras, our journey ended. But there wa® a fina-l prospect awaiting us before we closed- the chapter of the day. It was the beauty of Gibraltar in the vast solitude of the night.

We hear a good deal of the Leisure Class. Those in the leisure class know are mainly poor people. MR. E. E. NEWMAN. Even the most severe cases of constipa tion yield to “Fruit-a-tives”, Witness this letter by Mr. E. E. Newman, Iona Sta tion, Ontario: “Ever since leaving the army I suffered terribly from constipation. After spend ing a great deal of money on other rem edies, I took ‘Fruit-a-tivcs’. I can sincerely say it gave me permanent relief. I often thought testimonials were untrue. I will gladly assure anyone writing me that ‘Fruit-a-lives’ are all they are claimed to be.” “Fruit-a-lives” goes right back to nature. Apples, oranges, prunes and figs give to it their fresh juices which are in- i iensified and blended with tonics. Consc- t quently, the action of “Fruit-a-tives” is ^naturally corrective and strengthening. It , Heart Disease in Children. Disturbances of the heart in child ren, automatically divide themselves ‘ into two groups, those which were pre sent at the time of birth, and are due to defects in development, and those which are acquired after birth. Congenital heart conditions, or those present at birth, are not uncommon. They are, as a Hile, easily recogniz able, and while they vary materially in extent, the majority of thorn term inate fatally within a given period of time. Acquired heart disease is rarely pre sent before the second or third year of life, and when found in extremely young children,J.s almost always due to a rheumatic infection. Careful examination of school age children shows about one per cent, to be suffering from s-ome disturbance of the heart. In many instances the pre sence of this disease was unknown to the parents or child affected. Rheu matism in some of its forms, St.. Vitus’ Dance, Diphtheria or some other in fection was usually found to be the cause. Many of the existing cases of heart disease could have been avoided if ade quate care had been taken at the time of the onset of the disease responsible. Rheumatism does not necessarily have to be present in tho form of acute rheu matic fever In order to damage the heart. Such slight manifestations of its presence a^'growlng pains” are sufficient warrant for careful super vision -of the child’s activities. Slight pain or swelling in the joints, of a transient' character, should be taken very sei'lously by the parents and physician. The early recognition of such dis eases as diphtheria and scarlet fever, ! and the prompt action of adequate I treatment, will do mucji to limit the i possibility of the infection involving I the heart. Tonsil-itls and disease of the tonsils is another common contributing factor in the cause of heart* dlstui'bances in childpen, not perhaps directly, but as possible lodging places for organisms which may grow and spread to the heart itself. The usual symptoms’ associated with early heart disease in children are not as definite as one AV-ould like. These {children tire easily, may have palpita- j tlon, pain over the region of the heart, j o-r shortness of breath on exertion. I Loss of weight or anaemia may be pre- j s-ent.

M. Brown, Walton, N.S., says:—“I cannot recommend Baby’s Own Tablets too highly. I have found them invaluable for the ailments of little ones.” Mrs. Brown’s testimony is the same as that of thousands of other mothers who have used the Tab lets. To use them once is a sure guar antee that they will always be kept in the home as long as there are babies or young children to be cared for. The Tablets are a laxative—mild but thorough in action—which never fail to regulate tho stomach and bowels; relieve constipation and indigestion; break up colds and simple fevers and make the dreaded teething period easy. In fact you banish all the minor ills from which little ones suffer. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers o-r by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont.

But if it could run permanently without him as well as with him, then, it would mean that he was utterly useless, a mere barnacle extracting substance from the organization. The following sentences are from an announcement received from a New York dentist: “I wish to announce that I am again practising at my former location in--------. I am planning to attend personally to my patients and not employ assistants as heretofore.” This dentist prospered. He began to take more interest in hunting and in open-door life in the West than in his business. He employed first one and then another assistant. By and by he ceased showing up at all. Not once did his patients receive unsatis factory treatment while he was on the job; but after one experience with an assistant they went elsewhere. In time the dentist awoke to the fact that if he were to continue the business he would have to pack up his gun and get back on his job. Vacations are useful. There may be sound sense in the recent declaration of a professional authority that busy men of affairs in these modem, high- pressure days require, a winter as well as a summer vacation. But vacations can be overdone. A business- can be neglected overmuch. Play, taken in proper doses, fils a man for more and better work. But too much play will play the deuce with any enterprise.
