She needs hint even more than he needs her. And who is the man with initiative?—Simply the man who can do the right thing, at the right time, in the right way, without being told. He is the man who does not waft upon his "boss" to tell him how, when and what—to do. Ile relies an his "boss" to aid his plans, but -not to make his plans. If you follow instructions, and fol- low them well, you are above the average; there will always be a place for you in the world of affairs, But, if you can exceed your instruc tions in doing the things that ough to be done, then yon are among th chosen minority. Destiny has picked You for special preferment --you hav initiative. Intiative is the power to create, al else is but the ability to imitate. ,An for every man who can, create an idea there are a thousand who can skill fully imitate it. For each person wh can move forward on his own impulse there are scores who can go ahead only if some one else will supply the impulse. This is the same as saying' that real initiative is very rare therefore it is in great demand. We need in this world the men who ean "carry the message to Garcia," but still more do we need the man who can furnish the message, Cultivate, therefore, the habit of being a self-starter both in thought and action. I give you a simple test; think of one new thing, to -day, which you can as for your company's inter- ests. Then do it. That will be initiative; and you will find that it is made up of about one part superior ability and three parts superior .determination, Repeat the test to -marrow, the next day, and the day after, until it becomes the habit of your thought and Re to explore new fields and break down old ruts. That will make of you a success as Your own taskmaster, which is the rst great stepping -sterno to other uecesses beyond. fact for rejaieing that the benefits of good literature are so widely. diffused and that whereas a book of olcVwas a rich man's treasure to -day it may be any poor man's friend. The world war neverso turbulcnt,l so anxious, so busy, Getting and spend,ing,we rush about, and trample under, and strive for a plate of van- tage e and a hearing hi the crowd of fretful mortals, We need to sit down with a book now and then, in a great calm, and listen to a voice of the spirit that speaks from somewhere outside the immediate business. We cannot get away from our depends etre on the comfort and encourage- ment and inspiration to be found in the friendly society of a good book. Much of the world is still at war, and humanity has not yet made ang end of inflictinmisery upon human- ity. The first prayer of stricken and wandering 'thousands is for the daily bread. But after the satisfaction of the body'sneeds the spirit has its inl- . perious .eraving to be fed. As soon t as peace comes there is a desire re - e awakened for the 'things of beauty and of truth to which art in every eform has given expression, and man- kind sated with strife cannot do het - 1 ter than to turn away from guns and d powder togood books. o A MOTHER'S TRIAD According to Paris manufacturers, t'in o' t+r lclercd hand-woven o en fabrics are e� to be the chief characteristic of the 1 fashions next spring.

We who live more or less among ibraries, public and private, wonder 'hat we would have done for our lentai provender in those bygone ges of action when any one who ranted a book wac forced to get a Jerk or a monk or a slave and have copied out by hand. A book then as an almost priceless possession; rad we do not so highly regard what committed to paper in this era of omparative plenty and of quick- etion presses. But if the physical aluation of a book is slighter, it is a HEALTH EDUCATION BY DR. J. J. MIDDLETON It is really hard to believe how little some people know about the most elemental matters of health, and about ordinary precautions that should be taken in maintaining health and preventing the spread of disease. At the Toronto Exhibition this fall, a woman visiting the ,Provincial Board of Health's Exhibit, noticed the windows raised in one of the sub- sections -where child -welfare was be- ing demonstrated. "Now, that would just cause a draught," she exclaimed to a friend, "and it 1s the way one catches colds." But fresh air is abso- lutely necessary to good health, and even in the coldest weather draughts ean be avoided while admitting fresh air. This may be done by having double windows, or one or' more double panes, and providing an open- ing at the bottom of the outer and at the top of the inner one, so as to. admit fresh air, in an upright current. Another method is to place a board beneath the lower • sash, propping it up and filling. in the space below while providing a way for an upward indraught between the two •sashes. 1 was recently in a house where. there were several children as well as the father and mother, and on coming in from the fresh 'air to the kitchen, where the greater part of the time was spent, it felt hike an oven. Double windows were used, but they were loth ti"g"htly closed and no fresh air was being admitted. A sick baby was in a cradle beside. the kitchen stove, and wrapped up in blankets like an Arctic explorer. The baby was per epirin�g freely, hut the mother. thought fihe must not let any fresh air into the ltoje best .the child should catch oldOih t. Se people seem to have, a sleep -rooted objection to fresh. aiir, one of the moot powerful' agents in exist - erne for triaintaining health, and re- stixi;ag fihe etek virbee-they fall i11. �i ..'+1'6eretijoas4s is unfortunately a eonhsnon disease, world-wide in its prevalence. and one which has direct - 1y or iniiirectly brought slickness and• bereaveSnent to many homes.

The woman at home, deep In house- hold duties and the cares of xnother- bood, needs occasional help to keep her in good health. The demands upon a mother's health are many and her chjldron'a welfare exact heavy tolls, while hurried meals, broken rent and much indoor living tend to weaken her constitution. No wonder that the woman at home is often indisposed through weakness, headaches, back- aches and nervousness. Too many women have grown to accept these visitations as a part of the lot of motherhood. But many and varied as her health troubles are, the cause is elmple and relief at hand. When ;well, It Is the woman's good blood that keeps her well; when ill she must make her blood rich to renew her health.

These pills make new blood, and through their use thousands ef weak, ailing wives and mothers have been made bright, cheerful and strong.

The government of Iceland will be .in the market for a loan as soon as the project of expenditure is approved by the home government, which is Denmark. It should certainly get it without trouble, for if there is a coun- try on earth to which it is safe to lend money it is Iceland. Iceland is a country nearly twice the size of Nova Scotia, of which about half is available for tillage or pasturage. Its mountains, of which there are an abundance, provide it with a great amount of water power, which its people desire to utilize. The loan will be sought for the purpose of installing hydro -electric power plants. Iceland lies just south of the Arctic circle, in the latitude of Central Alaska, Norway, Sweden and Finland. The people are a sturde lot or they would not be there. There is possibly no other people who are so uniformly intelligent and well educated. To what purpose they intend to direct he great amount of water power wich they say exists in the country vb do not know, but our conception f the charadter of -the Icelanders is uch that if they agree that they have the power and can make profitable economic use of it we should accept their judgment and lend them the oney if we have it.

Young Smith, who was very much love with Ruth, had duly made his eclaration and had been by the dung lady referred to her father. When the youth entered the lather's library he was received civilly, and listened to with great patience. "`It's all right, so far as I am con- cerned," said the father finally, as he reflectively stroked his beard. "I am afraid, however, that Ruth will not marry you." Smith grew pale. . "Please don't say that!" he exclaimed. Sias she—er— hes she said anything to you to that effect?"

Hoxcesty, courage, brains that is the or�uer—Theodore Roosevelt. reeently visited a home where the father of the family was lying ill in bed with tuberculosis and he got fits of coughing at intervals. Not once did he cover his mouth when cough- ing, although children were playing about in the room where he lay. In amazement the nurse asked him if he had never realized how desperately important it was to cover his mouth with a handkerchief when coughing, but the man didn't know. He said he had never been told about the dan- gers an gers of promiscuous coughing in a room where ethers were, and particu- laxly where children were. This pa- tient was able at times to sit up and hold the baby in his arms while his wife was busy with the housework or otherwise engaged. Sometimes, he said,' he got a fit of coughing while h holding the baby, but he always laid' it" down somewhere if the coughing o fit was at all severe. Although this s may be an isolated case, one can read fly realize how hard it is for organized effort to completely stamp out„ this great scourge from our midst. We m see, too, how much educational work there is still to be done in telling the public of the dangers of tuberculosis, and how it is spread. Although muni- a cipalities now generally put up anti - spitting notices, some people still in- dulge in this objectionable habit. I have watched men spit on the floor of in a street car although above their head d a sign hung telling of the penalty y that would be imposed on anybody caught spitting. People careless of their own health and their neighbor's do still exist in great numbers, but at is through lack of knowledge rather. than any desire to wailfully spread dis- ease that this laxity occurs. There is not a man, woman or child suffering from -tuberculosis who would care to see anybody else contract the disease, and yet through lack oi' knowledge the disease is often spread. ,Much educational work is being done at • pre -vent in the campaign against tuberculosis, and in teaching such simple easeget<ials as destroying by fire or purifying by antiseptics all handkerchiefs or cloths soiled with tuberculous disciharges In all branches of Public Health work there is still a great deal of educative work to be done before the results' aimed at can be reached.• AUTO SPARE PARTE! for meatmakes and models 9t oars.

The composition of the candles tall - ed joss sticks, which are used in all the religious ceremonies of Buddhism,, has long remained a mystery, the pre- paration of tite sticks being entrusted to certain persons chosen from a lim- ited class. Not long ago, however, there was learned the manner of mak- ing joss -sticks in Indo-China. A. stem of bamboo is rolled in a preparation containing fourteen different adorifer- ous drugs, two of which are signifi- cant, as showing a knowledge of chemical and physical properties. These are aconite,which serves to protect the sticks against the attacks of rats and mice, and camphor, which causes them to burn steadily without being periodically extinguished.

At last little David John was allow- ed to visit grandpa all alone. They were great friends and had long wait- ed for the great day. David John had the time of his life. Grandpa saw that he wanted' for nothing. The ...small boy gobbled cake and pie td his heart's content, while his pockets bulged all the time ,with sweets. But there comes an end teverything and David John went home again, pale yellow of com- plexion, and Ianguid and feverish, Mother promptly sent for the doctor, who ordered him to bed and sent him tome very disagreeable medicine. Grandpa came next day and was per- mitted to creep upstairs to see how the sufferer was faring. He found the small boy lying wan and pale on his pillow, but received a watery smile of welcome. "Oh, Grandpa," said . the weak little voice, "I've been awfully sick, but it was worth it" Coughs and colds , sneezes and sniffles quickly yield to BAUME MENGUE 'The relief is most :ratifying and eo refreshing.
