'ERYTHING
FOR LITHUANIA"
SLOGAN OF AN INDOMIT-
ABLE PEOPLE.
Three -Year -Old Republic Has
Two Passions, Love of Coun-
try and of Education.
Pagan e the Poles still call there.
Pagans because- longrafter the othe.r
•nations bed accepted ChnetianttY,

Thunder. Pegans, because, even
day, the peasants still hold thunder in
, awe; still believe, almost.unconseiolle-
Iy that the gad of storm is on their
side.
In one of the skirmishes fought latea
la against Zellgowski forty Lithuani-
ans defeatea two hundred Poles. Not
bedause the 'Poles are not great fight -
are, but it -wasa night of frightful
Beam; the thunder rolled, its mighty
eatillery through the aewering skiest,
and the Pole.s luiew that the "pagans"
theeLithuanians, would 'fight like Ie -
nods with their god to help them. So
they ran. ,
'It's like a Graustark story, the story
of this youngest of the worlde repub-
lics!
An ancient people, whose begin-
nings are lost in the midst of time.
Always known as a free and ,demo-
cratic people. Governed a old by the
gamed dukes, but governed as a liber-
tyiloving people, proud and soldierly.
And then, back in the middle of the
faurteenth century, one of the grand
dukes married a Polish princess. And
Paland claimed Lithuania' for the son
self the match. Great fighting 'ensued,
but the Lithuanians were outnumber-
ed a hundred to one, and Poland an-
nexed them.
Unquehchable Spirit.
Five hundred years ago! Five hun-
dred yearsof oppression and slavery
—five hundred years during -which Po-
land .first, then Russia, sought to
strangle their national being, extin-
guish their language, break their
spirit; fi-v.e hundred yea -es during
which each Lithuanian mother taught
her children in secret the beloved
tongue; taught them to read insmug-
gled and hidden book,s the great
stories of their past; -Whispered to
them: "Some perhaps, our freedom
may cbme again. You, my son, may
help to free us." ,
_ waysthere were jeane end hopes;
secaate-organizations warking in. the
dark, men who trimato weal the varis
oils factions into one united whole.
After.' the Russian eevolution, of -1904-
'05 there -wee a great uprising. But
the time was hot yet.
Then came the great war. Lithe-
. area,: between_ the two autocracies,'
Russia and Germany, 'lay helpless.
Soldiers overran her, her men were
taken into the Russian Arpaies, her
people were impoverished. And then
Bessie fell sprawling.
Instantly all over -Lithuania the na-
tional spirit fabled to life. Led by
• the- great Srnetonat Lithuania' a Duke,
of Wellington, a man beloved .• and
trusted, of great ereative force, able
toebring every faction, every .1:eaglet's
body, into one united whole, a man
capable of calling together the beet
of the nation to help foam ,a constitu-
tion—led by this man, Lithuania gath-
ered herself together and declared her
Independence.
' The Long -Awaited Day.
It was in Septernlea, 1917, that
Lithuania formed a provisional go -v-•
ernnaent, appointing a council s known
as the Taryba, with Smetona ,attthe
head, to get tliecountry into shape
for popular rule. In February of the
follo-wing year came the declaration
of independence., In April, 192O; the
preliminaries being CoMpleted, a gen-
eral election was held to choose Presi-
dent and Assembly, to confirm the con-
stitution, to come-before:the world as
a free country.
And that efectien was' the greatest
day Lithuania had ever known!
It wasthe day that had been await-
.
ed "for 500 years. And 95 per cent. of.
the people turned out to 'cast their
vote. , • t„
All the time, while the government
was being fanned and the nation
uniting, war was going on. - The Ger-
mans had fled, but the Boasheviki had
come. And after the BoIshevike the
Poles. Lithuania had no supplies, but
guns and rifles she did have, ea:glared
from the Gernaaes, bought by money
sent in by Lithuanians in other parts

The need for inedical inspection oa trial purseita• thcee yfll eonstit'ate

mote districts of the Province. To
their credit be it said that the sohool
trustees are rapidly earning to realize
the importance ef this branch oa pre-
ventive medicine, and 'meetings of
these officials have been held recent-
ly ,in various rural .districts, with ,a
asew
to obtaining eaediealeana, nurs-
ing inspection throughout the schools
of 'their townships.
As educational work is what is
needed at the eutset, a nurse will first
of all spend some time in each, the-
tridt where medical • inspection e•f
scirols iato be inaugurated. She will
get acquainted with the trustees,
members' of the Woinen's Institute,
loeal doctors, newspaaer • riroprietor,
clergy and prominent citizens general-
ly, and °ratline the work that is plan-
ned: Certainly the compara-tive
healthiness of the country, with pure
air and facilities for enjoying the
genet . out -Of -door amid naturel. sur-
roundings, does not make the need for
continual inspection and supervisiou
as pressing as in the city. However,
a systematic setherne for 'Medical in-
spection arid nursing of school chil-
dren is very necessary, even in court -
try districts -far' removed from any
great centre of population. Ailmenta
found among city -bred children are
also prevalent to an even greater de-
gree in rural_ schools, owing to, the
lack of skilled attention., • These ail-
ments include: defective vision, de-
fective hearing, defective teeth defe.d-
tive nasal breathing, hypertrophied or
diseased tensils, defeeti-ve nutrition,
heart disease, lung troubles, nervous
diseases, orthopedic defects, skin and
soalp conditions.
Of all these; defects taken tbgether,

a large per cent. of the remainder

A neceseary adjunct to medical in-
spection of schoole is the dental disa
pensary, the importance of Which la
becoming increasingly evident Just
how many of the more. con -anon ail -
areas, of childhoote and youth can be
directly or indirectly traced 'to defec-
tive teeth it would be difficult are yet
to estimate, but inyesiga,tion along
this line is proceeding.
It is certain, however, that nutri-
tional and digestive defects as Well as
serious secondary disease in other
parts of the body, are in a great many
cases the result of decayed. teeth. Ob -
'servers state that dental caries (tooth
decay) is present in Progressive
stages in the mouths a ninety-five
per cent. of our children. Good teeth
as a rule bring about good digestion,
and this in turn develops goad health.
But good health is net long maintained
if the child is not.supplied with nour-
ishing food in adequate amounts. In
this, connection the Department of
Education in some, countries like Eng-
land, provides meals- for school chile
dren,, and recover tlie cost from the
parset, where poesible. Where this
provision is made at the schools, the
teachere oftenea.ssist in the cooking,
and the elder girls are also encouraged
to do so; the latter thus reeeive some
a the instruction in simple cooking
which, is sot necessaey.
On first 'thoughts It would seem
there would lea little need for these
measures in a land ef plenty, each as
Canada. But it has been felled in the
rural. districts especially that many
ef the ehildren coming some distance
to school bringcoldImams and eat
them under 'somewhat unhygienic sur -
moldings. To obviate this, the On-
tario Department of Edueation in
many districts prevides hot lunches at
the mid-day receasaand saperirises the
children while eating: Not only do
the youngsters tiles get the benefit of
hot, well -cooked food during aehool
hours, but they are early taught the
advantages 'of hygienic principles at
the table, and: these youthful impres-
sions very, often remain through life.
'This combined selteme of . medical
and dental inspection, aystematically
conducted, canr_ot fail to be an ins-

Squirrel as Tree Planter.
A tame smarrel, kept as a house
pet and allowed liberty from iLs cage,
will, if supplied with nuts, bury them
in the most curious places. It will
hide them in 'people's pockets or even
inside their collars. t„
It is evident that, in a state of na-
ture, squirrels are not abbe to keep
track of many of the nuts they bury in
odd spots. Thanks to this fact, they
are quite useful' in helping to seed
burnedor logged areas in some parts
of the countay. . •
Thes fact has been particularly
nicited in the States of Oregon land
Washington, where chipmunks are
giving important Assistance 'in the
buSiness of re-establishing forests of
the Douglas fir. They collect the
seeds from the fir cones, and many -of
those they bury and forget produce1
young trees. Mice do much good work
of the same kind.

We will hazard the assertion that
by far' 'the greater number of men
whose lives are useful, fruitful and
reasonably happy had fathers Who
made friends of their boys, and that
the greater number of men whose
livesi are wasted or evil had fathers
who never made friends of their boys.
It is from the father the boy should
get his 'first 'lessons in good humor,
sportsmanship, • generosity, good fel-
lowship,, perseverande, industry—in-
deed, in all the qualities that should
eventually enable him,to bear himself
as he should in the rough-and-tumble
of life. From -the Mother mimes usual-
ly the fostering (If the gentler- and
more spiritual side of his nature; but
that outgrowth is likely tb be arrest-
ed and may even die unlesis it is ac-
companied by _growth of the manlier
virtues. Those may be ,fostered in
school, by teachers and by association
with other boys; but there is _no in-
fluence so patent in nourishing them
In shaping the boy's character as that
of the father who makes a friend of
his son.
Paternity implies nearly always
some measure ef affection, but it does
not alwa.es imply some measure of
friendship. There are many fathers in
tbse World who have a kinder and more
tender feeling for their boys when
they are away from them than when
they see them. The nervous, irritable
father whose high-spirited son is a
source of annoyance rather than of
pleasure, the overworked father who
cables, home too tired to have any zest
for play, .the preoccupied father who
cannot: isheke off his problems sand
troubles, the self-indulgent father who
regards his home as a sanctuary for
hiMself and wants only to be let alone
with his newspaper, his magazine and
his pipe—none of them is by way of
'cultivating hie boy's friendship. None
of them is meeting in the proper spirit
the responsibilities of parenthood—
evens though they may all be taking
proper measures foraahe health and
schooling of their children..
Friendship requires a • certain
amount of effort, a certain amount of
self-sacrifice, yielding frequently your
own de-sires,tothose of the -person
that you befiend. The father Who
reads aloud to his boys and dismisses
with them the aeoks that they read,
who helps them with their lessons,
who teaches them the -use of tools,
the ,names of trees and flowers and
birds, who makes holidays and Sun-
days an occasion for giving pleasure
to theni rather than for seeking it for
himself, serves not only his sons but
his country.
Yap Money.

The island of Yap•is noted, arnong
other things, for having the most ex-
traordinary currency in the world.
Besides the ordinary shell money
there is at Stone coinage, consisting of
calcite or limestone disks that vary
from six inches to twelve feet in diam-
eter. The larger stones, which are
rather tokens than money, are piled
up emend the chief's treasure hoe's°
and seldom change hands tn the trans-
actions in which they figure, though
the ownership changes. One huge fee
or stone coin, was lost in 'a sterm,
while being ferried from one place to

as a 'medium of arade, although it lies

Once a mother has used I3aby'e Own
Tablets for her little ones she would
use nothing else. The Tablets give
such sestets that the mother has noth-
ing buaavorde of praise and tlianitful-
Dalai for them. Among the tkousands
of mothers teroughout •Canada who
praise the Teblete is Mrs. Davia
Anderson, New Glasgow, who
vvritesta-"I have esed Baby's Own
Tablets for my children and from me
expet-tence 1 would not be without
them. I would urge every other
inotbier to keep a box of the Tablets
11 the house." The Tablets are a mild
but thorough laxative which regulate
the bowels and sweeten the stomach;
drive out constipation and indigestion;
break up colds and simple fevers and
make teething easy. They are sold by
medicine dealers or by mail. at 25

Character.
When we use the word success, we
too often mean a fortune, But the bet-
ter kind of wealth iis not the wealth of
dollars, houses, lands and vested in-
terest es It is the wealth of a good
name and the essential quality in man
• or. woman that makes auch a name
and stands behind it.
Some who maintain a very respect-
able,character in the community think
they are better than others who fell,
wheia the truth is that they were never
similarly tempted. They were cush-
ioned on all sides against a shock.
They were sheltered from the tempest
others had to face. -
It takes extremes—either of adyeri
sity or of prosperity—to bring out the
real character. We find certain men
who have inherited preposterously
large sums of money going all to
sipieces morally, "drunk.. with "eight of
power," failing to realize their stew-
ardship. Quite as bad as to be prodi-
gal is to be niggardly. In fact, the
picture of a dissolute rake flinging his
money away is rather more attractive
than the view of a mean old miser
sitting on top of a pile of rasionee and
loving it to death.
Character is not to be simulated.
Now and again one encounters the
man who thinks he can go to the
stores and buy the makings of a
gentleman. The swagger outfit of ex-
ternals will not do—it remains obvi-
ously an outfit, merely tb.e external
raiment, entirely separable from the
substance and the spirit of a, man.
How amazing is the difference be-
tween two that are fashioned original-
ly in God's image and of ths same
clay! One breathes benignity and the
other is malign. One istspiritual, the
other is of the earth earthly. One has
only conimonplace ideas and a torpid
, , .
imagination, the other abounds le
bright and delicate fancies and a
quick and humorous sympathy, so that
the association is a pleasure all too
brief a.nd rare.
To keep a character worthy of one's
own respect implies self-control. Nor
will the respect of others be won if
we have reason to despise ourselves.
One ostrich egg will make an omelet
sufficient for thiity people.
