The laxity of the present cannot be bet- ter, described than in the words of a Chinese professor who, in the course of an address to the stu- dents of Foochow College, in Octo- ber, 1910, said :-- "The lawless' idea of liberty was e.ueonraged under the management of directors who themselves have never had discipline. The students found the best place to experiment in regard to. equality of which they had learned. in Japanese books, was either with their parents at home or with their teachers at school. While in sohool the teachers are considered by the students to be their equals, if not inferiors; for, in fact, they have often been styled public servants. Cases of friction between the teachers and the stu- dents, ending in strikes on the part of the latter, are very often.- re- ported in the newspapers. With the unions formed in schools the stu- dents beoome absolutely lawless. The positions of the ' teachers as well as those of the directors lie in 1 the hands of the students, who, in 1 fact, foiun the moving. spirit of the whole institution. With the pre' sumptuous power acquired from the union which they have .formed, the students, through the medium of the directors (the president of the college), inetruot the teachers on the best methods of teaching and formulating examination epees- Cons." p es -•tions."

Season with a little salt and serve. Hints for the Home. Potato balls which are salted in butter after being boiled are delic- ious. They should be served with a generous sprinkling of minced parsley. To clean a frying pan after fish or onion, boil out the pan with so- da water, washing clean, then put it on the fire and shake a little oat- meal ' in.

A silk, particularly a black, becomes almost like new when so sponged. Silver spoons or forks may be cleaned and brightened by leaving far several hours in strong borax water ; the water should be boilieg hot when the silver is put in. Sil- verware which is frequently washed withammonia water will need cleaning aauch less .often and much work be saved.

Rinse with warm water, cover with a dry cloth, and iron the wet portion until dry. Dates stuffed with peanut butter and then rolled in sugar are a pleas- ing change from dates stuffed with nuts.

FRIENDS HELP. St.• Paul Park Incident. "After drinking coffee for break- fast I always felt languid and dull, having no ambition; to get to my morning duties. Then in about an hour or so a weak, nervous derange- ment of the heart and stomach would comeoverme with such force I would frequently . have to lie. down." Tea is just as harmful, because it contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee. "At other times I had severe headaches; stomach finallybecame affected and digestion so impaired that I had serious chronic dyspep- sia and constipation. A. Indy, for many years State President of the W. Q. T. IT:, told me she had been greatly benefited by quitting coffee and using Postum; she was trou- bled bled for years with• asthma. She said it was . no cross to quit coffee when she found sne could nave as delicious an article as, Postum. "Another. lady, who had been troubled with chronic dyspepsia fer years, found immediate relief on ceasing coffee and using Postum.. Still .hnother friend told me that Postum was a Godsend,her heart trouble having been relieved after leaving off coffeeand taking on Postum. "So many such cases came to ,my notice that I ,poncluded coffee was, the cause of mytrouble : and I quit and took up Postum: I ammore than pleased to say . that my days of trouble have disappeared. I am well and happy." . Look in pkgs for the famous little book, The Road to Wellville." Ever road the above totter? A new onto appears from time to time.

PROFIT SHARING BONDS.. Attraotive Form of Investment. A folder which fully describes an attractive 7 per ; cent. investment, carrying a profit-sharing feature as well, may be obtained by writing to The National Securities Corpora- tion, Limited, Confederation Life Building, Toronto, Out. The investment described is in the form of profit-sharing bonds, which are amply secured. In this in- stance, the National Securities Corporation, Ltd., acts as a hold- ing"company for two manufacturing companies whose combined capital- ization is $1,300,600.. Both of these companies have been particularly successful; ever since their forma- tion, and for the last few years have offerors „u»dor the handicap of duly toeing Able take care of about 66 per cent, of the business available, although working at full capacity, The present bond issue is for the purpose of enlarging these' plants so that they may handle all orders, and to enable them to acquire timber limits now under option, and which will doubtless largely increase in value in the newt few years.

Missionary Tolls of Lawless People Among Whont Ile, Worked. A great work is being done far up on the north-east shores of Hudson Bay in converting the wandering Indians and + limos who inhabit that desolate region to Christian- ity. A devoted little band of three or four Christian pioneers is sta- tinned there, and a member of that "Arctic mission," who is, in Eng- land. for a short "leave," gave some of his experiences of the country esus people. "1 can stationed at a tiny settle- ment on Great Whale River," said. the• Rev. W. G. Walton, "and the `town' consists of two house and a °stare.' I live at' one of the houses with is Hudson Bay trader. Weget two mails a year out there, but the newspapers only visit us onoe, so that you can. imagine our expecta- tion when newspaper day ooanes round. At the end of August every year a ship calla, and we have to be very careful to remember to order everything 'we want, because, if we forgot anything we should have to wait another year. The Eskimos never wash themselves. "Washing" Children, "I have often seen an ,Eskimo woman washing her young children like a cat does a kitten—by licking them all over. Their only means of livelihood lies- in catching, seal's. They are always on the lookout for sealholes in the ice. They eat the blubber, that is, the fat of -the seal, and clothe' -themselves or at any rate snake their trousers out of sealskin. It is very ootid --45 de- grees below zero as a rule—and we Europeans have to keep roaring fires going in every rooan of our house. `°Thopeople don't live in villages, but separately in families, so as to have as wide a field for hunting as possible. They are a. very revenge- ful people. -A 'short while ago an Eskimo was out huntingand saw a black dot in the distance on the ice. On approaching he made certain that it was a seas just protruding from a seal hole. Bloody Feud. He fired and hit it, but when he got up to it he found that he had aocidentally shot a man. He called on the widow, said how sorry he was, and, promising g to help the woe man, asked for •forgivonese. The son of the dea.d man entered., and, when he heard, ruehed off and kill- ed all -the unfortunate hunter's family in revenge. In retaliation the hunter killed all the dead man's family, and so the feud began. When we were informed of this and came to in -vestige -6e we found that. there was only one man surviving out of, two -,families of about 17 per- sons. We could do nothing but lee ture the survivor. ,• "They were, terribly lawless until we came, and even. now when in the. :grip of starvation commit the most awful deeds. Lately.a mother, rav- aged terribly by hunger, went to. the length of eating her two chil- dren.

A piece of seal bone, with a little hole in it, is 'suspended from the 'roof.' They all sit round. the `room,' and each tries to throw an arrow into the holo. Hewho succeedshes to sing a song, but he who singes most wogs wins the game. They get enormously enthu- siestic over this pastime. They have largo families, and the roes' would increase tremendously were it not for accidents and murder*. They are, however, very imprdrseed. by the Chrtstien creed, and we are gradually getting then( to ohmage, their ways." . A GRACEFUL TRIBUTE if Small Union Jack Worn on the Arent. of the Berlin ,Polies.. Despite the mutual suupioion,. which` unfortunately- exists between Great Britain'and Germany. a trial butes which .may, or may not, be ar graceful one, has lately been paid to the British teuisb in Germany. by the authorities at Berlin, Aoer- tarn number of the Berlin police force now go about with a beautiful, miniature Union. Jackerra.broidered on their sleeves, in token of the fact' that they are linguistically qualified to answer any question whish the' inquisitive Beitsh tourist may like to put to them. The miniature Union Jack, in other words, sign -1 lies : "Here is. English spoken." There are plenty of Italians, Aus- trians, and people of others nation-. alities to be met with in Berlin, but no policeman: wears the national flag of any of them embroidered on his coat -sleeve. Can it be that the Berliner loves the • British above them all Alas, no ! It merely means that, of all tourists,. the :Bri- tish•speeimen alone can be relied on, with confidence to be able to speak no language bunt his own. ,o Your Bad Taste In The Morning Is Due To Catarrh Destroy This Poisonous Disease Bofors Your Health Is Seriously, - Injured.
