There are some children, otherwise in apparent good health, who sniffer from an over -excitable '. weakness .of the nervous system that -manifests self in spasms of various muscles or in general convulsions'. : Tho larynx to very apt to be the seat of this trou- ble, which shows itself in attacks of epaasuio•ddc crop; again, sometimes as- soeieted with croup, soraetianes, occur ing' .independently, there are cramp- like spasms of the hands and feet. In general all the muscles react instantly and strongly to any stimulus, such as a sharp tap with the finger. This muscular irritability has been found to be due to a fault of nutrition, namely an inability to absorb or as- similate lime, and the medical prob- lem. . is to ' overpome this defe+et, and bring about a normal lime• digestion. An ample supply of lime -containing fired must be given and if there are other forms of digestive trouble they must be treated. It .is *ell to start the treatment with a dose of castor oil, to ensure- the removal of any •tox- ins or poisonous material from the di- gestive tract.

MOTHERS PRAISE BABY'S OWN TABLETS Mrs. L. M. Brown, Walton, N.S., says:—"I cannot recomneezd Baby's Own Tablets too highly. I have found thesn invaluable for the ailments ' of little ones." Nth. Brown's testimony is the same as that of thousands of ether mothers who have used the Tab- lets. To use them once is a sure guar- antee that they will always' be kept in the home as long 'as there are babies or young children to be cared for. The Tablets are a laxative — mild but thorough in a,otion—which never fail to regulate the stomach and; bowels relieve constipation and indigestion.; break up colds and. simple fevers and make the dreaded teething period' easy, In fact you banish ell the minor ills from which little ones suffer. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mall at 25 cents a. box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Prayers for Oysters. Y Y An unusual celebration is to be held shortly by a Japanese firm of artificial pearl dealers. They are to ereet a monument in memory of oysters whose lives have been sacrificed for the sake of the pearls that have enabled the firni to,become so prosperous. Pearls that even the leading experts are un- able, to distinguish from the natural product are manufactured by this firm. The monument is being laid out,in front of the Imperial Shrine at Ise, and will take the form of a.tower con: taming 10,000 pearls. A religious mass Is to be said at the unveiling for -the repose of the souls of the oysters. Most visitors to Japan have remark 'ed withdelight ':on t e wonderfully carved ivory statuettes that are offer- ed for sale: A',few months ago ..the leading Japanese ivory workers held a religious ceremony in memory of the thousands of elephants that had . been killed to make these statuettes. tSomewhat similar was the ceremony beld -by geisha for the souls of cats !slain to provide• the necessary material for the Japanese musical instrument, the samisen, 'played by the slinging girls-.
