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.

EASY TRICKS No. 338 A Swindle S LX I X IL S . r, X. NMMINVIMMIlk 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. (Clip this out and paste it, with other of the series, in a scrapbook.) You Bet. There was a young fellow named West, Who went to the country to rest, But a farmer named Snapper, Had a daughter, a flapper, Now the strain on hist system's a test, 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. ici ,, T_he E like e U t ,--'th preparation: wi►icl leas-woit'th coiiili$'ence,: oft every "06untr •under the British Flag:-, remedy) s hich has brought health and happiness ;to millions) pi anen and women in every,,part of..the`Einpire• the :treatinent'Wliich is' resorted, to everywher�� ffor4'ailraerits,sudW. a'S ,Sick adache; ;Eiliousnes� c Indigestion ;arid ,CoI'nstipatiotl" often, 4cansidered insignificant; ye decidedly.inconvenient`--ailment` which have their origin in a dyspeptic `condition oi: the'.stonaach and. :t®rpidd ..gctioal..oi_theLliyei Q HEALTH EDUCATION BY DR. J. J. MIDDLE s ON Provincial Board of Health, Ontario ellddleton cei11 itie glad to answer questions en peelio Health Wags tees through this column, Addrese hinaeat Spadiaa House, Spatial. 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 Minard's LinimentRellieves Pain. 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."
