Self- consciousness, then, is simply a con- sciousness of superiority or inferior- ity. In either form it is an undesir- able trait; in the elle case it is ob- noxious to other people, in. the other it is harmful to yourself. The self-consciousness that mani- fests itself in a sense of superiority to others, in arrogance and pride, may have solid reasons for existence. Few people are consciously superior with- out having some advantages in mental moral or material equipment, but c • y frequently lose the benefit of tillefr° advantage by reason of their ob- jectloieabie consciousness of it. Simi- larly the persons who feel themselves superior to the work that they have to do, even though their estimate of themselves may be warranted, are likely to do the work carelessly and rllshly and not so well as less or persons. On the other hand, talo people who feel diffident and de- precatory injure their standlug In the eyes of others and tend to disqualify themselves for effective effort; in tim- idity they shrink from the tasks and the teststhat if only they could feel confidence in themselves they could satisfactorily perform. The habit of measuring yourself with others or with jobs that are to be done is a bad habit. The men who never give a thought to their super- iority or inferiority, or to the super- iority or inferiority of other men, who take people as they come and deal with them as individual human beings worthy of interest and respect, and who take the tasks and seize the op- portunities neither with condescension nor with timorousness, are the most successful men and the happiest and are the truest exemplars of democracy. Winter Warmth. Many people dreadthe t r winter months because they cannot keep themselves warm while in bed. Bretton sleep and an- unrestful night mean, of course, a loss of working efficiency and injured health. . Sufferers pile blankets on their. beds, use hot-water bottles, and do all sorts of things—except the right one, --to get warm. But none of these "aids" aid^ uffice• a s theydo a notmake the ,. body warm, because they ars not pro- moters of blood. circulation. And therein lies the whole secret of winter warmth, Circulation. A brisk walk warms one, and the body glows with heat. The blood circulates. And the exercise of walking makes one i breath snore qu okay, That in itself is L-ating as well as being an aid to cir- culation. So, to keep warm, clrculatei Ten Minutes before you retire to rest, "Cir eulato" yourself round. the house, and. up and downthe stairs.

There had been a party at Light- leigh's house and Lightleigh was bored. Said he to his wife: "My dear, I have a splitting head- ache. Can't you manage, in some cleft way, to get rid o4 these people, nice as they are?" "I can't very well show them the door," said Mrs. Lightleigh. • "Certainly not," rejoined Lightleigh, with an ingratiating smile, "hut, my dear, you can show yourself. at -the piano."

"If people would only attend to their blood, instead, of worrying them- selves ill," said an eminent nerve specialist, "we .dootors would not see our consulting rooms crowded with nervous wrecks. More people • suft`er from worry Omit anything else." The sort of thing which the special- ist spoke of is the nervous run-down conditiou caused by overwork and the many . anxieties of to -day. Sufferers !incl thexnseivee tired, low-spirited and unable to keep their minds on any- thing. Any 'sudden noise hurts like a blow. They are full of groundless fears, and. do not sleep web at night. Headaches and other nerve pains are part of the misery, and it all comes from starved nerves. Doctoring the nerves with poisonous sedatives is a terrible mistake. The only real nerve tonic is a good supply of rich, red blood. Therefore, to re- lieve nervousness and run-down,health •1)r, Williams' Pink Pills should be. taken. These pills snake new, rich blood, which strengthens the nerves, improves the appetite, gives new strength and spirits and makes hither- to despondent people bright and cheer- ful.

MIDDLETON If Child -Welfare work is going to show good results in the shortest pos- sible time, it will be by the co-opera- tion of all persons interested. Not the least of these. is the family doc- tor:.who has such an influence over the people amongst whom he prac- tices his profession. It should ever be the purpose of the State :to keep the people well, and this can best be done through the family physician, assisted by various social and co-operative bodies whose services are invaluable in bringing the people and the family doctor closer together. It is• not only to cure the sick child or sick adult, but to keep them well by rectifying minor ailments which, seemingly insignifi- cant in themselves, nxay if neglected lead to ill -health and physical weak- ness later on, that the family physi- cian is an invaluable asset in Public Health work, The establishment of pre -natal clinics is a move in the right direc- tion, and will fill a place that till the present has been much neglected. There has never been much attention paid to the expeetant another. Her � condition was:.C.„idem discussed sci- entifically, nor was she brought into contact with. her family physician ex- cept at, or shortly before, the time of her expectancy. Whatever ill- nesses she may have developed dur- ing the pre -natal stage, or may have been suffering from previously, were not taken much into account. As a result the child is often born with 'a bad stat t—that is it is handicapped in its race for life even before birth. There are many conditions of ill health in the mother that .has as direct bearing on the physique of tle child, or, in other words; the baby may show "constitutional deeds" even from the time it is born. One of the most serious maladies ` that an - • ex- pectant mother could staffer from is venereal disease. There are many 1 distressing instances that go to show that venereal disease is. widely dis- tributed throughout this province, and that expectant mothers are in many eases among the victims. Statistics are not at hand for Ontario, but at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Balti- more valuable information has been obtained. Under the supervision of clinics at that hospital 10,000 births were recorded last year, and out of these ten or twelve per cent. of the mothers were found to be suffering •from venereal disease. It does not seem possible that these mothers could have been brought under medical supervision by any other means than by the pre -natal clinic, and the advantages of this work applies not only to venereal dis- ease, but also to tuberculosis, gen- eral weakness or aenenlia, and, other conditions in the mother- that direct- ly affect the health of the prospective baby. The father's • physinal fitness and freedom from disease has also to do materially with the child's start in life, but of the two the mother is the more important, and she can be more readily brought into contact with expert medical and nursing advice. There are so many adverse condi- tions bringing about infant mortality that the problem of reducing the num- ber of deaths among • children under one year of age has to be approached from different viewpoints. Con.genit-al weakness, premature birth, improper and insufficient feed- ing, • lack of . maternal care, a111 tend to make. the infant death rate high. Each of these features has to be con- sidered in the light of the mother's condition before birth, because it is hardly to be expected that en un- healthy mother can produce a healthy baby, and the pre -natal clinic at this point 'steps in. It -is the forerunner of the baby clinic, and just as im- portant from whatever angle it is viewed. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of ciao. era+ ><m•xa4.44.rowsq4.44-4 • .

They've followed these rules very closely they say, And if you will look where it got 'em, Forthwith you'll agree it's the speed- iest way To get from the top to the bottom! A MOTHER'S ADVICE Once a mother has used Baby's Own Tablets for her little ones she is al- ways happy to recommend them to others. Her advice given after a careful trial, can be readily followed with assured good results. The Tab- lets are a mild but thorough laxative which never fail to regulate the bow- els and sweeten the stomach. They always do good—they cannot possibly do harm even to the youngest babe. Concerning thenr Mrs. P. Laforest, St. Nazaire, Que., writes:—"For three months my baby was constipated and cried continually. On the advice of a friend I gave him Baby's Own Tablets and now at the age of five months he is perfectly well and weighs twenty pounds. I am delighted to be able to advise other mothers to use them," The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Autoing for Wolves.. The motorcycle threatens to outrival the broncho as an instrument of loco- motion on western ranches and cattle ranges. According to the Illustrated World cowboys are -using it for round- ing up cattle, driving in stray animals, inspecting long lines of fences and other such work. By all odds the 'most remarkable purpose for which the motorcycle is employed however, is that of chasing coyotes. Such a machine, if the ter- rain be not too difficult, can easily overtake one of those little gray wolves, tiring the beast down to a point where it can no longer turn and dodge successfully. Then it is simply a matter of a whirl of the lariat, and the vicious brute, with a few quick spurts of the motorcycle, is choked to death. 1•Ionsieur • For 16 days in the month of January I was suffering with pain of rheumatism i tried all kinds f rem dies n the foot. 1 o e but nothing diva me any good.

The 103rd Annual General Mt- ing of the Shareholders of the B.aailt of Montreal was held on Monday, !December* lith, at the Bank's Head- quarters. The President, Sir Vin- cent Meredith, Bart., occupied tb.e chair, and presented the annual 're- port of the Directors. Before moving the adoption of the report;. Sir Vincent Meredith gave a comprehensive review of the econo- mic situation. During the year, he said, an overwhelming demand for. , credit had taxed resources to the utmost. It had been difficult to make men who had grown accustom- ed to high prices recognize the fact that economic conditions, which no artificial means can alter, alone are the cause of price decline.. "The de- mand for intervention through Gov- ernment control is still insistent in some quarters," he said. "Canada alone cannot control world-wide con- ditions, and it is idle to turn to the Government For relief from falling prices. This applies to wheat as well as other commodities," Summing up, he said: "The situa- tion in Canada at present, as I view it, is that while there does not ap- pear to be any cause for apprehen- elan; there is every reason for the exercise of the utmost measure of caution. Canada cannot disassociate herself from world conditions, and world conditions are not satisfac- tory. On this continent the two years supervening upon the Armistice have been marked by unexampled trade" activity and prosperity, a cir- cumstance common to the conclu- sion of all great wars, but the re- action has set in and may not yet be in full play. Happily, Canada is well buttressed on many sides, and the exercise of prudence and saga- city should enable her to meet the. shock of falling prices, restricted credits and deflated currency, with- out serious impairment of her com- mercial and financial vitality." Expansion of Business in Canada. The General Manager, Sir Fredl- erick Williams -Taylor, in reviewing the operations of the Bank daring the year, said the payment of a 2% was bonus of wa. o to the not the outcome of higher rates of interest on current loans in Canada but a reflection of the increase in current loans and of high interest rates on call loans in New York, the volume of which was governed by the Bank's requirements in liquid reserves. One anomaly which at- tracted ttracted attention was that with credit restriction as acute here as it was across the line, the price of money was materially lower in the Dominion. This condition, he said, was jegarded as a tribute to Can- ada's good banking system. Dealing with the growth of tate Bank's operations, he said: "It is noteworthy that the greatest expan- sion of the Bank during the past few years has been in our own country. This is revealed in our greatly in- creased loans and deposits in Can- ada and in the number'of branches opened during the period. Branche3 Loans Deposits iu in Canada in Canada Canada 1914 $123,147,000 $168,557,000 173 1920 240,725,000 3558,878,000 302 The annual report was unanimous- ly adopted and the retiring direc- tors were re-elected. The share. holders gave approval to the mo- tion by Lord Shaughnessy to le_ creasethe number of directors from 16 to 18 and to the two new positions on the Board were elected Sir Lamer Gouin and General Sir Arthur Currie. At a subsequent meeting of Direc- tors, Sir yincent Meredith, Bart., was re-elected president, and Sir Charles Gordon, G.B.E,, was re- elected vice-preeldent. Far Speeding. "Idlver try a fast motor -ear?" said a friend of the magistrate's. "No," replied the magistrate, "but I've tried a` lot who have," An insect Diet, Little Tommy was much worried at the condition of his pet, cat, who con- stantly loot flesh despite the very good bits furnished to her. Tommy's mother tried to reassure pint by saying that the cat was thin because of the flies she had eaten dur- ing the summer. Whereupon Tommy surveyed the cat with renewed interest. "Mother," he said very solemnly, "I Wink she's been eating bees, too, for I can hear 'em humming." Definitions. "Jimmy,," said the teacher, "what is a cape?" "A eape is land extending into the water." "Correct. William define a gulf." "A. gulf is water extending into the land," "Good. Christopher," to a small, eager -looking boy, "what is a moun- tain?" Christopher shot up from lits seat so suddenly as to startle the teacher, and promptly responded, "A mountain is land extending into the air," Nothing In That Line. A visaing minister was proceeding to examine the children of a Sunday school as to their general knowledge of Bible characters, and began: "Who was the first elan?" "Adam," they all answered in chorus. "Who was the first woman?" "Eve," they all shouted. "Who was the meekest man?" Ila.,es." � -Who was the meekest woman?" I!lveryong seas silent, the i:htldren looked blankly at each other, but none could answer. Finally a little hand went up, and the preacher, looking at the little fellow, said: "Well my little man who was she?" "There wasn't any," confidently as- serted the boy.

Where Trapping is Worth While. In the Iittle island of Tasmania trapping is a very profitable busineee. According to a correspondent of the London Daily Mail, the trappers sup- ply a market that used to loot: to America and Siberia, with skirl of the; humble rabbit, the wallaby, the kan- garoo and the opossum. Inexperienced trappers earn one hundred and twenty- five dollars a week, and the old Bands i earn as much as three hundred.
