WORK OF THE LEAVES
Many Necessary and interesting Pro-
cesses Impossible Without Them.
An examination of the leaves of
various plants will show a peculiar
structure all for certain purposes.
The under side of a rhubarb plant leaf,
for instance, has prominent strong
veins. The leaves of the poplar tree,
even after they have fallen, and the
skin all gone, have a network of veins.
In the daffodil the veins go in strips -
some branch. The purpose of these
veins is to convey fluids to the leaves
from the root and stem, and also to
take other fluids away, The larger
leaves nave ribs for support, Plants
constantly take in oxygen from the air,
and give out carbonic gas as waste
This breathing is called respiration and
takes place through the leaves, which
are the lungs of the tree or plant.
Carbon is being gradually digested,
and then stored up in the stem and
leaves in growing plants. Carbon
dioxide, or carbonic gas, is absorbed
by the leaves from the air, and the
plants break up this gas, secure from
it the carbon, and allow the oxygen
to escape into the air. This process
of feeding or digestion is called as-
similation, and takes place with the
aid of sunlight, the, result being that
starch is manufactured. Light is ab-
solutely necessary for this process,
for starch is found nowhere except
in green leaves. When green plants
have sunlight, they secure enerey to
split up the carbon dioxide, store up
the carbon, and free the oxygen. But
when plants are placed in darkness,
the opposite takes place. From this
it can be readily seen that it is a bad
practice to keep plants in bedrooms,
as too much carbon dioxide is injur_
ious to animal life.
Another process that is going on in
plants is transpiration. Water, in
which various salts are dissolved, is ab-
sorbed by root hairs, sett up the stems
through the bundles of vessels, and
carried to the leaves, The flow of sap
is excessive 1n summer, s0 some outlet
is required. For this purpose the
leaves are used, and through pores on
the upper and under surfaces the excess
is carried to the air. This keeps plants
cool in the hottest weather, and is so
rapid that a sunflower gives off as
much as a quart of liquid in 24 hours.
If one touches the leaves of a tomato
plant at noon on a hot day, as it is
growing against a wail, moisture on
the surface will be perceived, and one
can also see the liquid. If all the
leaves of a plant were removed, and
the new ones cut off as they came out,
the plant could not breathe, no food
world be stored up in it, for it could
not digest its food, and it would con-
sequently die of starvation.

CLEANING THE ATTIC
When gran'ma cleans the attic room,
About the first o' spring,
She opens all the boxes wide
An' shakes out everything;
She sweeps the rafters an' the floor,
An' makes the winder shine,
An' I help lots, 'cause gran'ma says
I hold the dustpan fine!
An' when the quilts an' counterpanes
Are flappin' in the sun.
An' ever'thing is spandy neat,
An' we are almostdone-
She sits in 'at ole shaky chair
She says she loves the best,
'Cause it's the one she cuddled all
Her babies in, to rest.
An' nen she tips her keepsake box
So I can peep inside,
'N' there's the bonnit 'at she wore
When she's a happy bride;
An' gran'pa's vest, an' the first gown
She made for my Aunt Lou;
An' locks o' hair, an gans an' things;
An' letters tied with blue.
An' they's some funny red -topped
bolts,
Not scurcely worn at all -
Jest scuffed a little 'round the toes -
An' awful cute and small;
When gran'ma holds 'em to her cheek
'An kiss 'em, nen I know
They was the little boy's 'at died
'Most forty years ago.
An' gran',ma says it seems to her
It's jest like yesterday
Since he went rompin"round the house,
A wearin' 'em, in play!
The other children's all growed up,
An' caused her no regret,
But oh, the little boy 'at died,
He is her baby yet!

HEALTH MEANS MONEY
(By H. Addington Bruce in Toronto Star)
We keep the toxin of alcohol from
our brain. But we are not careful to
keep from it the toxins produced by ex-
cessive eating.
We let these course through our
blood to reach and weaken the delicate
cells of our thinking apparatus.
We avoid the germ infections to
which all expose themselves who in-
dulge in loose sexual relations. Yet
often we needlessly work amid dust
and dirt laden with equally deadly in-
fection.
We would shudder at the thought of
spending a night in the stifling atmos-
phere of a gambling hell. But week in
and week out we cheerfully work and
sleep in quarters that are little better
ventilated.
Then again, many of users through
forgetting or never knowing, that
thinking ability is conditioned by the
quality of the blood's circulation and
that this in turn is largely conditioned
by bodily exercise.
We live in street car, office chair,
and bed, letting our muscles grow
flabby, our circulation slow.
And after a time we find ourselves
wondering why our power to plan, to
reason, to remember, to execute, is not
as good as it used to be.
There are only a few of the common-
est errors in personal living habits.
They are errors that impair our
health, they are errors that diminish
our efficiency, they are errors that keep
us or make us poor in purse.
Learn to avoid them. To -morrow the
first thing, buy yourself a hand -book in
personal hygiene. It will not cost much
and is sure to prove a splendid invest-
ment.
There are many reasons why all of
us should study the ways of healthy
living. Not the least important reason
is found in the relation that exists be-
tween health and the gaining of our
livelihood.
It might be supposed that everybody
would recognize this and would learn to
live well. But actually only a small
percentage of people pay due attention
to the laws of personal hygiene.
Some people, to be sure, give too
much thought to the question of health.
They are forever fussing about their
health, and live in perpetual and
irrational dread of disease. Indeed,
they may actually make themselves ill
by their morbid -fear of illness.
So much do they think about their
well-being that they have little time to
think of their work. Necessarily, even
if they are so lucky as to escape a
nervous breakdown, they work in-
efficiently and thereby keep their in-
come below what it ought to be.
But most people are not unduly con-
cerned as to their health. Where most
people err is in thinking that they can
work at a high efficiency rate without
taking proper care of themselves.
And to take proper care of one's self
involves much more than the mere
avoidance of reckless dissipation in the
way of drinking, sexual excesses, etc.
This it is that most of us overlook.
We may be total abstainers from
alcohol, we may lead morally clean
lives. Nevertheless, in unsuspected
ways we lessen our earning capacity
by violating the laws of right living.
One great fault is to forget, or re-
main in ignorance of, the fundamental
truth that everything which has a had
effect on our internal physical processes
has likewise a bad effect on our power
to think.
We may not make the mistake of
poisoning ourselves with rum. But too
many of us make the mistake of poison-
ing ourselves with over -rich and over-
abundant food.
Fell In a Faint
Mrs. Edwin Martin, Ayer's Cliff,
Que., writes: "Before using Dr.
Chase's Nerve Food I was in a terrible
condition. Dizzy spells would come
over me and I would fall to the floor.
I could not sweep without fainting.
Dr. Chase's Nerve Food has so built up
my system that I can wash and do my
housework. Your medicine cured me
when doctors had failed."

CHEESE YIELD HIGH,
Ontario Has Enjoyed a Record Year,
Says G. G. Publow.
"Never before was so much cheese
made in eastern Ontario as during
the season just closed. Never before
was it produced at so little cost.
Never before were prices so high.
Never Kane farmers, particularly
dairy farmers, made so much money
out of their herds. All this was due
to a most unusual combination of
circumstances -phenomenal produc-
tion and high prices. At the begin-
ning of the season a special appeal
was made for the 'biggest ever' in
production. The dairymen responded
to the call, and Providence helped
them out with . one of the best sea-
sons for pasture we have ever had."
The speaker was G. G. Publow,
Chief Dairy Instructor for the east-
ern half of the Province, a man
who has been identified with Can-
adian dairying from his youth up,
and whose mammoth cheese at the
Chicago World's Fair constituted one
of the best advertisements the indus-
try ever secured.
"Prices certainly were phenomen-
al," continued Mi•. Publow. "An
average of 15 IA cents for the full
year, as compared with 13 17f., cents
the year before, a figure which in it-
self constituted a record up to that
time. Just what these figures mean
will be better understood when I say
that I have known cheese to sell as
low as six cents, and have seen the
time when nine cents for the season
was considered a fairly good average.
Of cour:•v th" extraordinary prices of
the year just closed were due largely
to the war, '.int Lor years past prices
have been steadily advancing. Vari-
ous causes account for this -the ad-
vance in foodstuffs generally, the in-
crease in immigration, particularly
from the United Kingdom, where
cheese is a recognized article of diet;
an increasing appreciation of the
amount of nourishment in cheese by
our own people.
"It was natural that the war
should give a special boom to the
cheese trade, because cheese is easily
transported, it is less liable to injury
during transit than is meat, and it
compares well with the latter in food
value. The Americans as well as
ourselves have profited by this boom.
Their cheese export trade had prac-
tically ceased to exist before the
war; during last season they export-
ed between 600 and 800 thousand
boxes.
A Rat and Mouse Trap.
Fill a barrel one-third full of
water. Take a thin piece of board
six or seven inches broad and long
enough to reach halfway across the
top of a barrel (1). A small wooden
cleat is nailed upright on each side
of the barrel (4). A spindle of
metal is driven through the plank
(3), and the ends or axles of this
spindle turn in journals at the top
of the cleats.
Fasten a bit of cheese securely on
the end of the plank that reaches out
to the centre of the barrel (2). The
end of the plank which rests upon
the rim of the barrel must be just a
111
i
little heavier than the baited end.
This can be regulated easily by driv-
ing a nail or two in the end of the
plank if it is not heavy enough to
settle back in position after bein.g
tipped up.
Now lean a plank against the bar-
rel, the top end resting evdn with or
just under the end of board (1). This
will enable to rodents to get up to
the trap easily. They start out on
the plank after the cheese. It tips
down, and in a twinkling of an eye
the animal plunges head first into the
water and is drowned.
There is no escape; they go to
their doom. The plank swings back
and is ready for another victim. It
is always set, always baited.-Suc-
