The ideals set up by the school teacher remain very largely the ideals of the pupil throughout life, and his conception of patriotism will be what he -has been taught during his school years. It is not 'too much to say that the present world war is due to a difference of ideals fostered by different systems of education. Great as is the importance of the public school in old and well estab- lished countries, this importance is: even greater in the new lands which are being called upon, to assimilate populations from the more congested` countries. In' such a country as West- ern Canada, the public school has to take on functions not usually associ- ated .with it in the older and more densely settled communities. The prairie schoolhouse is not merely a centreofeducation; it is also the re- ligious and social centre of the dis- trict. During the week days the school teacher furnishes education to the children of the neighborhood, but on Sunday the missionary holds . his services, which all attend regardless of creed or nationality, and on week nights the building is used for meet- ings of farmers, for the various com- munity societies; for the Red Cross or Patriotic Club, andfor purely so- tial events such as debates, concerts and dances. To facilitate the latter, it may be noted that many country schoolhouses use removable desks which the willing hands of the farm- ers' boa=s quickly dispose of •whenever there is a dance in prospect. Another phase of community work associated with the rural school ,which has been coming into promin- ence during the last few years is the supply of books to settlers in the dis- trict. This work is encouraged and assisted by the central Department of Education,which provides catalogues of books suitable for such purposes, the actual selection being left to the teacher. The number of books- allot- ted to a school ' district is based .on the report of the inspector of schools. In the Province of Alberta, although this school library movement is only in its infancy, no less than 110,000 books were supplied for this purpose last year, at a cost of some $30,000.00. Educationists of the province look forward to the time when every school district will be a library centre, giving to the settlers 1 the facilities now afforded to residents of cities. and towns through their pub- lic libraries. The prosperity which has almost overwhelmed rural Alberta in the last two years, when farmers have been reaping enormous crops and selling them at the highest figures in history, promises to contribute still further to the importance of the rural Old Fashioned Ideas are being supplanted daily by newer 6c1 better thing's. This is particularly true where health and efficiency are concerned. In 'hundreds of thousands of homes where tea or cof- fee was formerly the table drink, you will now find FOSTUM It promotes health and ef- ficiency, and the old trine nerve, -frazzled tea or coffee drinker soon gives place' to the alert, clear -thinker who drinks delicious Postum and knows.

With every farmer driving his own automobile the opportunities for social'gittherings,are; greatly increased,, and the country school is the natural meeting place. ,g— E FAMINE THREATENS WORLD. Prof. Leacock Says We Must Increase Our Food Supply. Prof. Leacock of McGill University; addressing the Montreal Housewives' League at the Royal Victoria College recently, said: "We are in sight of a terrible food famine, such as the world has never seen. We must take steps betimes if we wish to avoid national and world- wide disaster. We must at all costs increase our own food supply. "We in Canada are fortunately placed. We have boundless resources in land to draw upon, We must see that every available acre and every available day's labor is turned to use. "It is gratifying to learn that our Department of Agriculture and our National Service Commission are wide awake to the situation. We must put behind them the force of public opinion and the efforts of .individual citizens." ST. VITUS DANCE AFFECTS MANY CHILDREN This Trouble Can be Cured Through the Use of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. St. Vitus Dance is much more common than is generally imagined. The trouble is often mistaken for mere nervousness, or awkwardness. It usually attacks young children, most often between the ages of six and fourteen -though older ' persons may be affected with it. The most common symptom is twitching of the muscles of the face and limbs. As the disease progresses this twitching takes the form of spasms in which the jerking motion may be confined to the head, or all the limbs may be affected. The patient is frequently unable to hold anything in the hands or walk steadily, and ; ,in.severe cases the speech may be affected. The disease is due to impoverished nerves, owing to the blood being out of condition and can be cured by the use of Dr. Williams' Pint: Pills, which enrich the blood, •strengthen the nerves, and in this way restore the sufferer to good health. Any symptom of nerve trouble in young children should be promptly treated as it is almost sure to lead to St. Vitus Dance. The following is proof of the power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to cure this trouble. Miss Hattie. Cummings,, R. R. No. 3, Peterboro, Ont., says: -"I was attacked with what the doctor said was St. Vitus Dance. Both my hands trembled so as to be practically useless. Then the trouble, went to my left side, and from that to my right leg, and left me in such a condition that I was not able to go out of the house. I took the doctor's medicine .without get- ting any benefit. Then I tried an- other remedy n-other-remedy with the same poor re- sults. At this stage I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills , and did so, with the result that they fully restored me to health, and I have not had the slightest symptom of nervous trouble since. I can recom- mend these pills to anyone who is suffering from nervous trouble, and hope they will profit by my experi- ence." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills'from any drug dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.60 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. RUSSIAN REFUGEES SUFFER. Food, Clothing, Medicine Necessary to, Ward Off Wholesale Deaths. A. report on the condition of the Russian, refugees is given by Thomas W. Whittemore of Boston, who is now in' Japan for supplies after long ser- vices in directing the work of the American Committee for the. Relief of Russian refugees in Russia. The forced migration of the people of Lit- tle Russia into the heart of the Em- pire was described by him as one of the greatest movements of people in history. He said that the names of as many as 3,000,000 refugees were on the official list, and although the Rus- sian Government is doing everything humanly possible to ameliorate their condition much remains to be done in, the way of food, clothing, medicine and shelter. Thousands died- in the flight. Barely fed, poorly clothed, masses were carried away by contag- ious diseases and the rest remained helpless, gathered in barracks and other public places vaguely and blind- ly waiting for occupation. The Russian Government has fin- ally distributed these refugees among different parts of the Empire, yet the problem, Mr. Whittemore said, was far from settled. The great need was for some form of organization which will provide them with labor and the means of living, and while that esono mic,,,question is being worked out, food, clothing and medicine are neces- saey. He had come to Japan, he said,. because the lack of shipping space from the United States made it prac- tically impossible to get the necessary supplies from that country. It is' a question as to whether the kangarop can cover a given distance in quiclter time than an ostrich, 1 TEETHTEETHING TIME ' men who had been lying in a trench ING for four days.

They Do Not Confine Their Services to Spiritual Needs of Troops. Writing on the work of the . Cana- dian chaplains in France, Capt. Chas. G. D. Roberts sends an article to the Canadian Minister of Militia, in part. as follows:'— The work of the Canadian Chap- lain Service has been so successful, so rich In results, and conducted along such broadly human lines. that it is impossible to do it anything ap- proaching justice within the space of a newspaper article. The cement of the whole structure has been a unity of purpose and 'a harmony in effort which are a constant influence for good among our men., and which may well serve as an example to the churches at large. The representatives of each church or creed are supreme within their own fold. The organiza- tion of the Canadian Chaplain service, as a whole, guards the interests of each communion, and guards them im- partially. I have seen an energetic young Jewish rabbi coining to a canon of the Church of England for assist- ance to enable him more effectively to minister to his scattered Hebrew flock. All rivalries are strictly elim- inated, liminated, except the high rivalry of zeal, self-sacrifice : and courage. It is not, by any means, to matters spiritual alone. that the tireless ener- gies of the C.C.S. are devoted. The service looks after the comfort, re- creation and entertaitunent of the troops, by means of a highly -organiz- ed system of soldiers' institutes, can- teens and oinemashows, which keep them out of mischief or boredomdur- ing the period when they come back. from ,the trenches to the rest camps. This system is run on a merely nomin- al margin of profit, and the accounts are officially audited' by the Paymas- ter's Department. Narrow as is the margin, it yields a handsome profit, which is returned to the men again in whatever form may seem to be most needed. No small part of It goes to the provision of free coffee—hot coffee -at all hours of day or night, for the men who are entering or leav- ing the trenches. But it is when a battle is on that the Church militant peculiarly justi- fies its'title. Where the wounded and dead are falling, there, you will find the "padres." They are by no means confining themselves to their spiritual functions. They are helping and in- spiring the stretcher-bearers, the ani- bulance men, the surgeons. Their activities are limited only by the needs of the situation. For instance, dur- ing the second battle of Ypres the padres in different quarters of the battlefield organized voluntary stretcher-bearer parties, guided them , up. into No . Man's Land, and worked with them night after night in find- ing and bringing out the wounded. In this task one of the padres was taken prisoner. At the Somme, too, one of the padres organized a rescue party, led it up under deadly shell fire, and brought back ten wounded n every hoagie Sloan.'s Iliad. ment has earned itsp lace hi the medicine chest as a relief from pains and aches.

A mustering officer, in the early days of the ever, before' England was aroused, met on the ,street of at'eoast village a strapping fellow about twenty-one years old. The officer hailed him. "See 'ere, me lad," he said, "tyre you in good 'ealth?" "I are," said the youth. "Are you married?" "I aren't." " you anyone dependent"on ;'Aveou?" "I 'ave ziot." "Then your King and country need you, Why don't you enlist?" "What?" he said. "With, this ,bloome in' war gain' on? You must think I ani a silly fool!" If Stomach Hurts 0 Drink Hot Water ".If dyspeptics, sufferers from gas, wind cr latulenoe, stomach acidity or sour- ness, gastric catarrh, heartburn, etc., would take a teaspoonful of pure bi- surated magnesia in half a;.glass'of hot water immediately after eating, they Would soon forget that they were ever afflicted with stomach trouble, and doc- tors would.' have to loot; elsewhere Per patients." In explanation of these words a well known New York physician stated that most forms of stomach trouble are due to stomach acidity, and fermentation of the food contents of the stomach'com- bined with an insufficient blood supply to the stomach. Hot water increases the blood supply and bisurated •magnesia in- stantly neutralizes: the excessive stom- ach acid and stops food fermentation, the combination of the two,therefore, being, marvelously suceesdful and ;de--' cidedl,y preferable to the use of artificial digestantits, stimulants or medicines for indigeson, National Service Cards.. The time for those persons who have not filled in the National Service cards, or have not properly filled them in, has been extended to the 31st day of March, 1917, and further cards have again been issued to the ' post- masters for distribution among those who have made default. It is under- stood that the returns from the 2nd Military District have been most gra- tifying. There are, however, even in this District a number who .have not properly made their returns. The Na- tional Service Board hopes that, every- one in the District will use his or her very best efforts in order to make the returns from this District as nearly perfect as possible. Ask Sons To Surrender. A Canadian just back in England from France says that German troops have been well fed hitherto, but that a great deterioration is shown in their food recently.

A. correspondent in Port Elizabeth,. South Africa, of the London Express, sent an account of a thrilling battle between a British officer and a full- grown female leopard in German East Africa. An expeditionary force was on the march when the animal was sighted, and. Lieut. Bouwer dropped out to try a shot. The leopard sud- denly charged the officer, and the best he could do was jam his rifle in the open mouth of the beast. -Bundles ' of burning gr tss were thrown toward the animal to distract her attention from Lieut.` Bouwer, who was badly hurt, and Dr. Ivor Hasleni finally' sent a dum-dum bullet home, which 'closed the career of that. leopard.
