CANADA'S SIX THOUSAND BLIND Idle Pity Giving Way to Frac- tieal Effort on Their Behalf.. You have doubtless been interested in what you have read or heard re- garding the . progress of a national effort on behalf of the blind of Canada. To you realize just what this effort means? Here are some of the things that are being done: Industrial training and employment is being provided far the blind in centres established in Halifax, To- ronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver. Useful handicrafts and the reading and writing of embossed characters are taught in the homes of those blind people who for various reasons are unable to take training at one of the regular centres. The product of the home -workers is bought and sold. Personal contact is established with recently -blinded persons, and with eases which are sometimes so old that they become new in a very real sense. This work is done by an experienced Field Agent. Books, magazines, and music in embossed types are circulated free to the blind of Canada. The monthly average circulation of books, etc., is close to eight hundred. The Institute also arranges for the transcription of music for any of its members at cost price. An active publicity propaganda dealing with various dangers to which the eye is subject is carried on, and this is followed up with personal work, looking to the larger co-operation of medical inen and nurses, employers of labor, Boards of Education, etc., in the vital matter of preventing blindness. A residence and training -centre, "Pearson Hall,' has been provided where blind soldiers may find con- genial conditions while taking voca- tional instruction. In this connection it may be interesting to lenpw that the Institute has entered into an agreement with the Department of Soldiers' Civil Re -Establishment, under which the Institute has estab- lished an after-care department for Canadian Soldiers blinded in the war. There are other things, bat they may all be summed up by swing that the Institute endeavors in every prat-, tical way to advance the interests of the blind and to ameliorate the con-, ditions under which they live. Will you aid in supplying the mast, vital need of this work ? Then snail your cheque to the. CANADIAN NATIONAL INSTI- TUTE FOR THE BLIND, 36 King St, East, Toronto, Ont. --_- --- Quarantine. This is a very poor word tor the meaning it now has. It originated from the Italian word "Quarante" meaning forty, and was used in Ven- ice and other Italian forts in the mid- dle ages, when ships with pestilence on board were detained for a period of forty days. The object of quaran- tine is to destroy, detain or isolate In- fection with the least possible hind- rance to business, trade and travel. The cure for quarantine is Sanita- tion. A city with few rats could not have an epidemic of plague; a port supplied with a pure water supply need not fear a water -borne epidemic of cholera; a thoroughly vaccinated community need have no fear of small- pox; a people free from lice need not fear an outbreak of Typhus fever. Removing Insulation. In removing insulation freen strand- ed wires, be very careful not to cut any of the fine threads. These are so small that it is an easy matter to slice off five or six with the insulation. Each of these strands does its share in car- rying the current to the lamps. Save the celery tops for soup. Seven Stages of Marriage Which is the happiest period of mar- ried life? Is it the first blissful months which follow the merry clash of the wedding - bells?* Or does this first almost -unbe- lievable happiness grow bigger with the years? Or does it fade and grow less after the first,bloom'of "the most wonderful romance in. the world" has been brushed away through a disap- pointing contact ; with the solid and. sometimes harsh facts of life—the more familiar hnotvledge of ' each other's faults and failings; the con- stant pressure ,of increasing responsi- bilities, the occasional spells of mo- Siotony,' the reaIization :which -comes to the man that his wife is a woman --not a. sort of 'of emb 5dted radiance —and the realization which comes. to the woman that her •husband is just an -ordinary man after all?

It is interesting to note that in a report issued by the Commissioner General for Canada in France impor- tations of eggs into that country in 1912 amounted to 303,243 (Quintaux Metirques), the exports for the same year being 51,155. In 1918 the im- ports fell to 71,162 and the exports 4,600. From these figures ,it will be seen that prior to the war France was a heavy importer of eggs, and no of the orders in their own homes.
