October Chant.
Spring's a slim green lady
Fathered in the town,
Autumn is a farmer's lassie
With her hair down!
Scarlet is homespun,
Bare leer° brown young Peet,
And her lips are stained with berriee
Red as bittersweet.
She has golden eyes to lure you,
Sleepy, slow and warm.
And her briar -tattered jacket
40 Bares a white soft arm.
Blue smoke from the leaf fires
Dims the frosty air—
If you crush her close and kiss her
She will never care.
She's no prim and proper
Lady of the town,
Autumn is a farmer's lassie
With her hair down!

This is more of a practical joke
than a trick, but it is a stunt that
is not only very little known but
is well worth knowing. When the
conversation swings to mathe-
matics, the trickster says:
"I can take 9 from 6, 10 from 9
and 50 from 40—and have six left."
A catch is suspected and a catch
it is. The illustration shows how
the trick may be done.

other of the series, in a scrapbook.)

Choir -Boys and Their
Punishments.
The restless choir -bey is often the
best singer, as the inhumanly well-be-
haved youngster is often devoid of
initiative, musical or otherwise. The
writer well remembers the choir -mas-
ter of his own chorister days who, to
his sorrow, sat immediately behind
him in the choir -stalls. This- gentle-
man had a difficulty of speech which
prevented him from pronouncing the
word "ears" as it deserves. This must
have been a sore trial to him, for the
word was constantly on his lips. At
frequent intervals during the services,
at all events, the boy sitting in front
of him would hear a loud stage -whis-
per, angrily tuned, saying: "I'll box
your years with a book." It became
a famous phrase among the boys—and
sometimes it was. translated, painfully
for them, into action. But even this,
surely, was a less embarrassing pun-
ishment for a choir -boy than that de-
vised by a clergyman who, in the
course of his sermon, stepped from the
pulpit, drew forth from the choir an
offending youth, took him into the pul-
pit and stood him in the face of the
congregation through the remainder
of the sermon. That was indeed a
penalty.

HEALTH EDUCATION

Provincial Board of Health, Ontario

Crescent,, Toronto
Minneapolis has a very low infant
death rate as compared with many
cities of similar size in the United
States. An investigation . conducted
by the Women's Community Council of
that city made a study of child welfare
and found some very interesting facts.
The children whose histories were
taken were of the kindergarten stage.
The kindergarten child is one who is
just below the age when it can go to
school. Generally the age of this class
ranges from, five to seven, and this was
the kind of child studied. Of this
group of children, more than half had
been breast fed until they were more
than seven months of age. Less than
four per cent. had been exclusively
bottle-fed. It is obviously a fact that
breast feeding is the vogue in Minne-
apolis, and is one reason for their low
baby death rate.
On making inquiries into the habits
of the kindergartners, it was found
that one of the worst habits was the
unregulated use of candy and sweets.
One-third of the mothers reported that
they allowed their children to eat
candy and sweets as they pleased.
More than a fourth drank tea or cof-
fee at home and one-fifth of the chil-
dren did not get enough milk. Only
ten per cent. reported their children
were not allowed candy or sweets.
The habits, and especially the eating
habits of many of the children, were
unquestionably bad. Nearllyforty per
cent. were reported as irr. egu.ar about ,
their home 'noon lunch, and a fourth •
of them ate what they pleased when
they pleased.
1 Of the children examined, eighty- ,
four per cent. took neither a morning
or an afternoon nap, while 165 of
them did not get enough sleep.
The question of keeping children
. away from the movies is an important
i one. Apart from the merits or de-
merits of the picture itself, the mev-
ing film is inj arious to the eyesight of
the young, and the time spent sitting
' in a stuffy, ill -ventilated picture house
(could with better advantage be taken
up with walking or playing in the
fresh air. It is interesting in this re -
1 Bard to note that half of the mothers
Finterviewed in Minneapolis did not al -
low their children of pre-school age to
go to the movies, while 115 children
were reported as attending moving
picture shows weekly.
When the question of discipline was
considered, it was found that 603 fam-
ilies reported they trained their chil-
dren through interest; 284 trained
through punishment, and 193 by cor-
porate punishment, or in other words,
by beating or whipping.
Of the group of 1,000 children ex-
amined, 415 had defective teeth. The
next most frequent defect was en-
larged tonsils and adenoids.
RHEUMATIC PEOPLE
CAN NOW FIND RELIEF
By Driving the Poisonous Acid
From the System.
Rheumatism attacks people when
the blood is 'thin and watery,' or
oharged with impurities, thus setting
up inflammation of the muscles and
joints. Cold, wet weather or sharp
winds may start the pains, but the
cause is rooted in the blood and to get
relief it must be treated through the
blood. As a blood builder and nerve
tonic Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are un-
surpassd, and for that reason do not
fail to give relief to rheumatic suffer-
ers ,when given a fair trial. Among
the rheumatic sufferer& who have
proved the great value of this medi-
cine is Mrs, Simeon J. rattan, Indian
Head, Sask., who says:—"For over
two years I was an intense sufferer
from rheumatism and until I began the
use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills no
treatment that I took helped me any.
The trouble grew so bad that I could
not move around the house without
help, and finally I had to give up and
go to bed. Words cannot tell how
much I suffered, and I could not bear
to have anyone come near me. Finally
one of my neighbors strongly urged
me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pilis, and
I decided to do so. In the course of a
few weeks I could feel animprove-
ment, and I was able to get up. I kept
on taking the pills until all traces of
the trouble were gone, and I could
again do my housework, feeling like
a new person. Three years have pass-
ed since that and there has never been
the slightest return of the trouble, sa
that I feel safe in saying that the re-
lief brought by this medicine is per-
manent."
You can get the pills from your
druggist, or by mail at 50 cents a box
from Tho Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,
Brockville, Ont.
. The World's Populatiion.
Fifty years ago France, with 38 mil-
lion people, was the most populous
country in Europe. Germany came
next with 37 -millions, and Britain
third with 30 millions-, whilst the
United States had a population two
millions. less than France.
A great change has taken place
since, and from being first France is
now last in point of population. Her
present population is only a million
in excess of what it was fifty years,
ago, whilst Germany's 37 millions have
become 64, the United Kingdom's 30
millions have become 49, and the
United States' 36 have actually be-
come 110 millions.
Since 1800 America has multiplied
Its population by 22, and 'since 1850,
that is to say, in 75 years, the has mul-
tiplied her population by 63' .
The population of the whole world 18
estimated to amount to some 1,800 mil-
lions, of whom 500 millions. 'dwell in
Europe, 900 millions in Asia—chiefly
in China, India and Japan --150 mil-
lions in Africa, 200 millions in North
and South America, • and only some
ssevei millions in Australasia, .a; term
which is meant to include the Pacific
Isles.
The Old Ones Are the Best,
Reoently a dispensary petient was
placed on a strict and scant diet, on
which she did not improve as was ex-
pected. The doctor sent a social
woarker oust to investigate.
The patient admitted that she was
much worse, but proteeted, almost
rtearfuily; that she had eaten "every-
thing as the doctor had ordered.
"What else did you eat7" asked the
inspu:ed social worker.
"Nothing eaeept my regular meals,"
said the truthful patient.
Don't judge another by what he
thinks of you. -Lincoln

CONSTIPATE!! CHILDREN
Constipation is one of the most com-
mon ailments of childhood and the
child suffering from it positively can-
not thrive. To keep the little one well
the bowels must be kept regular and
the stomach sweet. To do this noth-
ing can equal Baby's Own Tablets,
They are a mild but thorough laxa-
tive; are pleasant to take and can be
given to the newborn babe with per-
fect safety. Thousands of mothers use
no other medicine for their little ones
but Baby's Own Tablets. They are
sold by medicine dealers or by mail
at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Wil-
liams' 1lfedicine Co., Brookville, Ont.
Rhymes on Rings.
While some old customs are dying
out, others are being revived. Among
the latter is that of engraving mottoes
and proverbs on lovers' rings. Rings
thus engraved were formerly called
"posy rings," and some of the inscrip-
tions were very quaint.
For instance, how would the follow.;
ing appeal to the "modern miss": I
"My love is flxt, I will not range,
I like my choice too well to change."
Among the many other mottoes
which adorned the rings of old-time
lovers were:
"In thee, my choice, I do rejoice,"
"This and the giver are thine forever,"
"Of all the rest I love thee best," 'God
for me appointed thee," "I joy in thee,
joy thou in me," and "Providence
divine hath made thee mine."

The fire that in the heart resides,
The spirit bloweth and is still,
In mystery our soul abides:
But tasks in hours of insight willed
Can be through hours of gloom ful-
filled. -

Like tides from out the sea
To break upon the twilight's shore
With murmuring harmony.
And o'er the roads through dusk and

From fields where toil is done,
The workers of the day return
With toil's contentment won.
They hasten where, like harbor lights
The sailors lave and know,
Bright through the shadows cheerily
The home lights gleam and glow!

Toronto, Ontario. — "It is pretty hard
to explain your feelings m nervous
troubles. I felt low spirited, had pains
in my head and eyes, always crying, and
did not want to go, anywbere. I do
knitting and fancy work, and I would
get irritable after a few minutes o
work. I have been in Canada five years
and have been this way ever since lr
came. I am taking Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and I sleep better
and it seems to make me eat, and I must
say I am feeling more jolly. I have
great faith in in your medicine because
of what it has done for my husband's
sister and she recommended it to me.1A
