(lacalistcr, leader of the joint expedL t �uxr.to the` h(o1Y Land sent out by' -the. Palestine Exploration Ftind and the London Daily Telegraph, contributes to that newspaper an aecount ea the. discovery atid identification oe Mil1o, near Jerusalem, to which repeated ego £eences., are made in tlio Old Testa- ment. One of the references is in Second Samuel, where we are told that David, afterhaving Oeoupieti the stronghold of Zion, "built round about, from Millo and inward;" In the First Book of ',Kings, however", we are told specifical- ly that it was Solomon [who built Mililo, and in the twentyrsev't+i, th verse of the eleventh chapter the statement is Made: "Soloiilon built , Mille and repaired` the breaphes of the city of David his father." Professor Nacalister indicates the utmost precise correepon 3ence of the literary material with the archaeologi- caul evidence still in?the ground. "We should had a forti ese built, to fill a breach, in the wall, and we have found it. That tower should showsigns of a later repair under stress of immin- ent danger, and it does, There should lie a fortification wall built "inward from" the tower, and there is. There. should be no conspicuous fortification here earlier than the time of Solomon, .and there is not. Absolutely every- • thing that we know about Millo-ex- cept the murder of Joash, which could hardly be expected' to leave recogniz- able traces—is reflected in the struc- tures which have now passed under the reader's' eye. In the absence of inscriptions, none of which have.come to light, I ventureto say that these co- incidences constitute the strongest possible argument in favor of the claim that Mille has been discovered, and ahitherto unsolved problem of the topography of Jerusalem in the early days cif its history settled.". Having made his discoveries, "Pro- fesor Macalister is taking the unusual, step of oovering them up again with -earth. It is not Practicable to remove what he •has found for permanent shel- ter_in museums, and bi.tter'experienoe has convinced him that to leave the stonework above e ground would simplx be inviting the feliaheen to make a stone quarry of It. Business First. If men and women vent into busi- ness asthoroughly as they ought to go we should~ hear lesa of 'Poor busi= nese; and more of better results. Halt: the people who go into busi- ness never take the trouble to learn the, tropes., And then they wonder when things go- wrong. By learning the ropes I don't mean the ropes of any particular business, ken but oe business routine and. etiquette generally. To be a good business man or woman the first 'essential is punt - t alitY• Employers and cuc o meas must be able to depend on you. It is no good starting out with the idea that live minutes here and five min- utes there do not matter. They do. You cannot be too punctual. Secondly, you must leave your own private business ;at home when you take a situation. All your employer • wants from you is your work, not your worries, .and If you. let them obsess you, you are not playing. fair. You are paid to give your brain, and perhaps your fingers as well, for a certain time. Don't cheat by dreaming or fidgeting over outside affairs, You can't do two things at once. Then, if you want to`be a good busi- sees man or woman you must work right through your working hours,.'and not steal your employer's time to ans- wer private telephone calls, to write private letters, oar to read. Get it into your head that your time during your working hours belongs to. your employer. Soine people work with their eye on the clock. Before the hour for lun- cheon or departure 'arrives you will find them making elaborate prepara- tions to go out.. • They are more con- cerned about whether they will be in time to squeeze in a.,game of billiards or a visit to to the hairdresser before going home than about the letter their employer told them must catch' a cer- tain train. r«" Tifat is not the' way to make your job a . stepping -stone to higher posts. If you regard business in this way, if that is the interpretation which you place' on your duties; then you will never get any further than the foot rung of the ladder of 'suocees. Indeed, the odds may be against you hanging - on even there. • Why- the Tender of a 'Loco motive is So Called. Striotly speaking, this word is a corruption of 'attender." Long before the days of railways, ships in harbor ,and rivers were waited on by smaller . craft, which brought them their sup -1 lie • plies and so on. And even today Iwo I speak of passengers .being taken out to a ship .hy tender ----the attender of the larger vessel,-: Soon the early days of railways the engine was attended by a small wagon "to carry its coal and water, and this Was the origin g t oP the modern leader, , Describing Sun's Heat, The sun gives out as much beat in a I'•eairs' time as. bu tile rning of sixty. seethe. . s would if composed entirely of R Ehracite peal, Hai: r ]n 1,sio11t, Bows.

Oft o w people using the same tea„ one makes° a delicious brew, the other tea not fit to drink, yet both have used boiling water.. The first uses water freshly boiling; the other has had the kettle on the fire for an hour, and has boiled all the air out of the water, leaving it fiat and dead. e Pokinga fire seems a simplebusi- nessyet there is' a right and wren ,g g way of doing it. .The wrong way' is to pound the coals from above, `the right to piish the poker in underneath, and by clearing out the burnt ashes leave room for a draught of air to. pass through the fire, so allowing it to burn brightly. • When packing to leave home a wo- man always puts boots and shoes'.and' all heavy objects at the bottom of the trunk, and the lighter articles on top. This is the right way to pack, and if men followed the same example there would be fewer cracked shirt fronts and creased suits 'at a journey's end. Most people treat a cut finger by wrapping round it apiece of soft rag. This is a mistaken idea, for the rag encourages bleeding. If the cut is a bad one the blood supply should be stopped by tying something tightly around the joint below the. cut. When a door sticks, the average man puts his shoulder against It and tries to force it open. This may or may not prove successful, but surely the simplest way, of managing the job is first to ascertain the offending spot, when comparatively light pressure will probably do the trick.

FIGHTING G FOR BABY'S HEALTH Is the Constant Care of Every Young Mother. The young mother has a constant care in looking. after the welfare of her little ones:- Childhood ailments come on so suddenly—sometimes with- out a minute's warning—the-mother may have a very" sick baby on her hands before 'lielp can be obtaihed. That is unless she hag a remedy in the house which she can safely give the baby, for any of the many minor ail- ments of babyhood and •childhood: Such a remedy le found in baby's. Own Tablets, Thousands of mothers throughout the country always keep a box of the Tablets on hand and they proclaim them to be without an equal for sweetening baby's stomach; regulating his bowe+"ls, and thus driv- ing out constipation and indigestion, colds and simple fevers, and making the dreaded teething period easy. Baby's Own Tablets are an ab1i5 ute- ly safe remedy. They are guaranteed- to be free from opiates or any other narcotic drug which are so harmful to the future welfare of the baby. Moth- ers, if -you value the life of your little ones give him Baby's O'wn Tablets when he is 11I, ore -better still, give him an occasional dose of the Tablets to ward off illness. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or will be sent to any address, post paid, et 25 cents a box by addressing The Dr. Williams' MedicineCo., Brockville, Ont. Industrial Hygiene in Ontario. Ontario is the only irovince in Can- ada which has a Division of Industrial Hygiene organized in the Department of Health, for the purpose of promot- ing the health of industrial -'workers. The main objective of the Division is the prevention of general sickness; the special objective, the prevention of thoae diseases which, arising out of working conditions., are called' "oc- cupational diseases." Now it is impossible to know how myich.-3vastage in Ontario industry is caused by sickness, • because there is ea yet little health ,supervision and few adequate records of lost time. But such data as exists shows • that in On- tarlo lost time from sickness amounts. to at least double lost thee from ac- cidents. As regards disease traceable to a man's occupation, the records; of the Division cover 472 cams followed up during the last. 4 years. The rate for lead poisoning in Ontario in 1925 is higher ,than that which . was .consider- ed alarming in England, 25 years ago. This alone shows the need for a sys- tematic and rigorous attempt'to guard the health of our workers. As a basis for this, a few cardinal facts need to be grasped: There is a close connection be, tween the health of the worker and, the economic prosperity of the. coun- try- A workers health is inevitably af- feoted by his wbrk1ingconditions. Many diseases among workers cah be traced to risks, xuoh' as poison, dust, etc., associated with their odou- pation, On all points ofindustrial health, in- orniation an be obtained, both by em- ioyers and employees, from the De- partment of Health of 'Ontario, Spa - dins etise, Torol to, Ways that are darks—Rrtil.road tun- nels, It is the spirit in which it is done that makes work noble or ignoble.

There is a legendthat relates how lap dogs e wen tIr t o Ireland. d In tbebag in- ning Britain seems tq have had a monopoly of tiny dogs, while Ireland was without them. And it was forbid- den to give or sell a tiny dog to an Irishman.

Jnly those people living a considerable distance from the forests were allowed to keep large dogs, for fear they might form into hunting packs A dog Gauge was used and only dogs that could squeeze through this were allowed within a ten -mile radius. In those days dogs were so valuable that fines were often paid in them. Another astouddding law was passed in the reign of . Edward III., when it was decreed that only "gentlemanly dogs" were allowed to wander Lon- don's streets "alone or at night. Others were liable to a line of forty pence. 11„1 111, .1111 11.'' ,.,1ss,' 0 • r Cut' Rates: "Are 'the charges low at your bar- ber's?" "Cut rates." " Bone -Black Substitute.

N VUUS DEPRE S:0.1 a n d same a e 0 a EIS WhyPeople Are Low Spirited p and Depressed. :— Nearly all women and most men suf- fee at times from fits of depression and low' spirits. Everything seems a burden; then conte periods of nervous irritability, headaches and weariness. People who suffer this, way lack vital- ity, because their blood is poor and nerves are starved in consequence. The only way the nerves can be reached is'through the blood. By en- riching the blood with Dr, Williams' Pink Pills the starved are sup- plied with just the elements they need. This is proved by trio experience of Mrs. J. E. Dadson, 12th Ave. East, Vancouver, B.C., who says:—"About three years ago I became very weak and nervous, I had pains in my side and back, and also suffered from. fre- quent pains in the back of my head and neck. I was hardly able to do any- thing about the house. I would wake with a start in the night and my heart would flutter so that it almost choked me. I tried much doctor's medicine but it did me no permanent good. One day I� read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and decided to give them•a trial, These putts produced such a beneficial change nna short time that I kept tak- ing in them until I had ad used a dozen• boxes. - By this time there was such an improvement in my condition that friends would ask me what I was tak- ing, and of course I was only too pleased to tell them. it was Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. I am now feeling like' a new person and sm doing my own housework. We would not now be without Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the hous:e.',' You can get these pills from your druggist, or by mail at 50 epee a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Her sister, Carmelo Ponselle, is also a star in the New York Metropolitan House. THE MERCHANTS' CORNER Illustrations In Advertising. lllusti•atiotls have strong attention value. For that, reason alone they be, come important in advertising. This importance is increased when the illustration can be made a picture of the merchandise 'offered. --The power of the illustration becomes still greater when the picture combines the merchaii'dise with a meane of using It, or any advantage to be gained from having the merchandise. Such a pic- ture lie tlie nio'st effective illustrating that can be done in advertising. White pictures have great power for good, they also have groat power for harm in advertising. A picture may create unfavorable thoughts in stead of favorable ones. eBach a pic- ture' is muoh better noteised in an ad- vei,tis'enient. Cuts°for advertisements must bo chosen with caro, Attention value of a picture 18 not of itself reason enough for tiling a .cut. unless the picture Will strengthen the message of the advertisement --help create in the minds of the readers a favorable oponion of merchandise or service,and be an influence in securing favorable option—it should not be used.

Looking at their early days very. closely, you will find first of all that they were not content to stand still waiting for a golden opportunity to present itself. `Neither did 'any. good fairy come to wave her wand over thein" future careers. Instead of this,. instead" of spending, their time assur- ing their friends, what they would 'do If they had so and so to aid them, they just got down to work. This, then, is the secret of their success: They set to work to realize their r ambi i t ons. They worked hard and long for their present ;standing= which did not conte by leaps and bounds. In ninny cases, it came only after long toil. Does this truth dismay you; that if you want a suocess in anyshape or form you must first of all be prepared to work for it? It should not do so if you set your on mind - upon a successful issue from the struggle. If your future well-being is not worth some trouble, it is not worth having. The fact that whatever comes most. easy to your hands is invariably not great vdlued, proves this. 11 is the apparently unattainable, when at- tained, that seems always best. So it is plain that if you wish to se- cure a success, you will not obtain it without some pains. And having made up your mind that it is worth pains, drop wishing and set to work upon the task. Keep at it -regardless of obstac- les, and you, too, win get there! Where Tears Comae From. Near our eye is a gland the business of which c is perpetually to allow- the escape of a sort of secretion.

This means that 98 out of every 100 women are in better health because they have given this medicine a fair trial. Mrs. Morse is simply another case of a woman receiving "great benefit."
