IN YOUNG CHILDREN
Can Only Be Cured by Enrich-
ing the Blood and Toning
Up the Blood,
One of the commonest forms of ner-
vous trouble that afflicts young ch
dren is St. Vitus dance. This is b
cause of the great demand made
the body by growth and developme
together with the added strain caus
ley study. It is when these demo
become so great that they impoveri
the blood, and the nerves fail to r
ceive their full supply of nourishe
m
that St. Vitus dance develops,
remarkable success of Dr. William
Pink Pills in curing St, Vitus dan
should lead parents to give this great
blood -building medicine to their ,chil-
dren at the first signs of the approach
of the , trouble. Pallor, listlessness,
inattention, restlessness and irritabil-
ity are all symptoms which early show
that the blood and nerves are failing
to meet the demand upon them. Here
is proof of the great value of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills in cases of this
kind. Mrs. Alfred Sochner, R,R, No.
5, Dunnville, Ont, says: "Our ten-
year -old daughter, Violet, suffered
very severely from St. Vitus dance.
The trouble came on so gradually that
we were not alarmed until it affected
her legs and arms, which would twitch
and jerk to such an extent that she
could scarcely walk and could not hold
anything in her hands steadily. She
suffered for about five months before
we hem giving her Dr. Williams'!
Pink Pills, but she had not taken these
long before we found that they were
the right medicine, and after she had.
taken nine boxes she rad fully recov-
ered her former health and strength.
I can strongly recommend Dr. Wil
lianas' Pink Pills to every parent hay-
ing a child suffering from St, Vitus
dance or any form of nervousness."
In troubles of this kind no other
medicine has met with such success as
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. You can get
these Pills through any medicine deal-
er or by mail at 50 cents a box or six
boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Wil-
liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
I;IIPERFECT WORLD NECESSARY
It is Necessary for the Production
and Training of Moral Beings.
Periscopes as Life Savers.
Probably no instrument invented
during the present European war has
been the means of saving as many
lives as hash small periscope now in
use by the British soldiers.
With the growth of the trench mode
of fighting the skill of the . sharp-
shooters, especially at short range,
has increased to an alarming extent.
Where the trenches are close together,
in some instances so close that the
e- fighters can talk to one another aeross
on their defenses, it , is impossible to
nt, thrust a head above the ground with -
ed out drawing the fire of half a dozen
nels. rifles.
sh Consequently the pocket periscope.
e- has been brought into use. The peris-
n
t cope is simple in construction, consist
The ing only of two mirrors connected by
s= a collapsible framework. Both mir-
e= rors are fixed to the framework at an
angle of 45 degrees. When the frame-
work is extended and the upper mir-
ror is raised above the trench, the
view is reflected by the upper mirror
down to the lower one, which reflects
the light rays horizontally to the eyes
of the observer;
Before this instrument came into
general use it was necessary to raise
above the trenches every few minutes
in order to prevent a surprise, These
occasional moves endangered the life
of the investigator. With the aid of
the periscope the watcher may remain
in the security of the trench and guard
against any move from a trench with-
in range of his vision.
Professor Sorley, of Cambridg
University, has been engaged in de
livering a course of Gifford Lecture
on "Ethics and Theism" at lelarischa
College, Aberdeen, In one of his lee
tures he laid down his own position
in the following words:—
He would hazard the statement
that an imperfect world was neces
sary for the production and training
of moral beings. A world of coinn-
pletely unerring, finite beings creat-
ed and maintained so by the condi-
tions of their life would be a world
of marionettes. Not such were the
beings whom God was conceived to
have created for communion with
Himself. Those spirits must fight
their way upwards from the lowest
beginnings. In this progress. they
had to attain reason and freedom so
that the good might be known and
chosen, and, tried by every kind of.
=ircumstance, to find and• assimilate
the values which could transform the
world and make themselves fit for the
aigher spiritual life. This meant
ghat it was possible to .regard God.
es the author and Rpler of the world
es it appeared in space' and time, and
at the same time to hold 'that the
moral values of which they were con-
:eious and the moral ideal which they
had come to comprehend with increas-
ing clearness expressed His nature.
On the view which had just been sug-
gested they would explain all reality,
nature and persons, laws and .values,
as depending on a Supreme Mind
whose purpose -was being unfolded in
the history of the -world.

"I really feel that it is hardly possi-

Nuts as a health food," writes a lady.
"For 9 or 10- years I had suffered
from indigestion and chronic constipa-
tion, caused by the continued use of
coffee and rich, heavy foods. My ail-
ments made my life so wretched that
Iwas eager to -try anything that held
out a promise of help. And that is
how I happened to buy a package. of
Grape -Nuts food last spring.
"That ended my experiments. For
in Grape -Nuts I found exactly what I
;wanted and needed,: From the day l
Degan to use it:I noticed an improve-
ment. sed in a very few weeks I found
Health was being restored.
"My digestive apparatus now works
perfectly, and chronic constipation has
been entirely relieved. I have gained
in weight materially, and life is a
verypleasant p sant thing to me so long as I
use Grape -Nuts once or twice a day.
I have found by experiment that if I'
leave it off for a few days my health
suffers.
"A physician in our town has great
success in treating stomach troubles,
and the secret of it is ;that he puts
his patient on Grape -Nuts food—it al-
ways brings back the power of diges-

36TH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE IIIGU COURT
K , CANADIAN ORDER OF FORESTERS ..
Over Five Hundred Delegates
Attendance.
The 36th Annual Meeting of th
Canadian Order of Foresters convene
on Tuesday afternoon, the 15th of
June, in the City of St. Catharines, at
2 p.m. Delegates were in attendant
from all parts of the Dominion, ever
province being represented. The High
Court meets in this city for the first
time since its inception.
The following officers. of High Court
were present at the opening session:
J. A. Stewart, High Chief Ranger,
Perth, Ont.; J. A. A. Brodeur, High
Vice -Chief Ranger, Montreal, Que,;
Alf.' P. van. Someren, High Secretary,
Brantford, Ont.; Robert Elliott, High

Executive Committee.
In addition to the above, A. L
Jones, Dist. H. C. R., Brandon, Man.
A. IC. Berry, Past Dist. H. C. R., Hol
land, Man., and D. E. McKinnon
Dist. High Secretary, Winnipeg; M
representatives from the District High
Court for Manitoba, were present.
The Annual Reports of the variou
officers of this Order are again of a
very satisfactory nature, showing that
the steady progress which has been
its experience'since its inception in
1879, was continued in the year 1914,
which. is the period covered by these
reports.
This Order confines its business en-
tirely to the -Dominion of Canada. In
all its `departments, in spite of the ad-
verse general conditions which have
been experienced in Canada, uniform
progress is demonstrated..
The increase in the insurance funds
during the year amounted to $375,-
295.94, this increase being the second
argest in the Order's experience, and
only some $5,000.00 less than the
argest increase in any one year,
which occurred in 1912. The standing
of this fund at the end of the year,
after. the payment of 599 death
c aims, amounting to $613,890.12,
hawed funds on hand of $4,740,368.01;
the amount at the present time being
$4,884,441.13. The yearly revenue de-
lved from the investments of the
Order now constitute 'a'very substan-
tial amount of the : annual income.
nterest earned on,investments of in-
urance,funds during 1914 amounted
o $223,761.64, and, psi -, .36.44 per
exit. of the total death claims on the
oder.
n respect to the matter of invest-
ments, it is interesting to know that
IOrder, confines the investment of
is funds to the purchasing of muni-,
pal and school debentures of the
minion of Canada. During the last
wo years, with an exceptional market
in such direction, from the investor's
point of view, the Executive Commit-
tee has been able to take very exten-
sive advantage,of the situation.
The Sick -and Funeral Benefit'Fund
shows a larger net increase than that
experienced in any previous year in
the Order's history, the. increase. for
the •year being $55,071.58. Interest
earned on investments of Sick and
Funeral Benefit Funds '(these' invest
Tn ' ments being of a similar nature to
. ,those made of the Insurance Funds),
amounted to $18,723,10, and after the
e payment of 7,319 sick and funeral
d benefit claims, amounting to $188;
480.35, the amount standing at the
credit of this fund was $403,284.77;
e the same fund. at the present time
Y standing at $409,583.63.
The General Fund is also in a
satisfactory condition. Many special
charges, incident to the war, including
donations to National and Patriotic
Funds, and the arrangement for
carrying members on overseas service,
hereafter referred to, have been
arranged as anticipated without any
inconvenience to this fund.
In respect to membership also sub-
stantial progress was made, the mem-
bership at the end of the year 1914
standing at 91,557.
= Besides the ordinary benefits from
t its Life Insurance and Sick and
Funeral Benefit Departments, special
- provision is made, under the constitu-
tion of the Order, for assistance to
, those of its members suffering from
tubercular trouble of any kind. A
special grant is made extending over
e a period of six months, with a view
to assisting to defray the cost of
treatment in any of a number of sani- 1
taria in Canada, making a specialty
of such cases, and the membership is
urged to take advantage of such
Man. • treatment in the incipient stages of
the malady.
It is gratifying to note after a per -
s usal of the reports of all the officers,
the far-reaching benefits that are be-
ing derived by the membership in the
various directions in which this Soci-
ety endeavors to be of assistance to
the individuals composing same.
Since 1879, about ten and a half mil-
lions of dollars have been paid out in
benefits by this Society, and, in fact,
the whole record of the Order, as sub-
mitted in these reports, is well worth
the perusal of those who perhaps have
been skeptical regarding the perma-
nency and stability of fraternal insur-
ance concerns. These reports furnish
evidence of careful management in the
conduct of the Society's affairs, and.
reflect credit on its administration.
A. point of general interest, as indicat-
ing proper selection of.risks. is the death
rate. This for 1914 was 6.54 in the thou-
sand, and the aver'ge death rate since
the inception of the Order, over a period.
of nearly 36 years,' is 5.31 per thousand.
In looking into the report of the Super-
intendent of Organization, we find he has
been able to report the institution of
forty-two (42) new Courts, demonstrat-
ing that the Order continues to establish
agencies as new fields for the prosecu-
tion of its: business. open up. Particular
attention is evidently being paid to es-
tablishment of Subordinate Courts only
