Conditions make it, necessary to keep the baby indoors. He is often confined to overheated, badly venti- lated rooms and .catches colds which rack his whole system, To guard against this a box of Baby's Own Tab- lets should be kept in the honse- and occasional doe given° the baby to keep his stomach and bowels workbag regularly. This. will prevent colds, constipation or colic' and' keep' baby well. The Tablets are sold by medi- cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. -Williame' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. &by Without a Bfrthday! It is possible to have no biythday at at all, if one happens to be born athhe right time in the right spot! This happened to a baby born dur- ing a voyage from Yokohama to San Feancisco, in 1904. „ •It is well known that in order to make the actual number of sunrises and sunsets experienced during a voy- age' round the world cOrrespondwith the calendar, an extra day,must be in- troduced or got rid of, according io the direction travelled. This adjustrneat is made at the time of crossing the 1Stlth meridian, which ruus to the west of the midway point between Japan • and California, and babies born there on Febraary 30th must do without birthdays! Keeping a Town Well. The Chinese, custom of paying the doctor to keep his patient in goad health has been adopted on'a whole- sale scale by the Mayor of Tuffe, small town in the department of Soothe, France. The functionary is seeking a town ..physioian who will keep'the natives in good shape and who will be paid only as long as the town is healthy.

Many cluarrels arise among- those who live and work side by side merely because they aro close together and are too well aware of peculiarities and shortcominge which each descries in the other. It is so in families. If the real test came, it might be found that love abides. But in the ordinary contacts which each day brings there is frIctiort that is due first of all to the mere, simple fact of proximity. Men in a quest of the North Pole baYP 1) -gen --enraged. at each, other for no reason excePt that silence—aiedieb- lation- preyed gen the nerves. Fights were born of the long, lonely darkness, wb.ich the moclern lnmiracle of the far- thing voices of the radio will do much to dispel. Presently each Man knew all there was to know about the rest. There were no surprises left. Monot- ony bred discord. Neighborliness ought to mean loving kindness. It should be the synonym for sympathy. When a new resident moves into the "neighborhood" those who live there already wonder what sort of neighbor he will be. His pre- sence will raise or lower the tone of the environment. If his children are lit to- play- with, they wil be welcomed by the other chldrein The fathers -and mothers are relieved and delighted when the- household,,:set down side by side With, their own. homes, is found to be constituted of generous, kindly souls who take thought for others. The nearest to us' ate those who can do us the most mischief or the most good. More pitiful than any other so- cial phenomenon is that of husband anti wife who use the closeness of their relation to make each othe,r mis- erable instead of happy. TheY shOuld not have come together unless theY in- tended to be everything that is helpful to ,eacli other. People may be physically near each othe.r and spiritually worlds apart. Tho man sitting next you on the train or trolley may be as- distant as if he lived on the banks of a .canal in Marc. If you wish to be a neighbor in mare -than the mere fact of proximity you must give and take the genial spirit of friendliness and sympathy, SCIENCE DEMANDS UNIFORMITY.

The most wonderful manuscript Bible in the world is owned by a Mr. Russ°11, of Montreal. With infinite patience he carried out thia great work with his own hand. Mr. Rus,sell, who is a Presbyterian, said that his main object in attempting Buell a: task was to leave some unfor- gettable and tangible memorial of him- self for bis family. The work, which is wonderfully done in a style of half writing and half printing., was perormed at odd mo- ments of spore time, and teak twenty- two years to complete! The New Testament takes up 471 page -ea with double columns 671 each page, and was written without a single error or omission. In all, there are 1,087 pages, • Among the distinctive features of this wonderful book are the title -pages, which are exquisitely illuminated, the delicate penmanship, and the hand- some moroeco binding. The weight of the Bible is about eighteen pounds, and It contains an autograph of the Prince 'of Wales, who showed great interest In it when he was in Montreal. The Organist's Opportunity. Every organist s,hould be a leader or leading.factor for the advancement of music in his community, independent- ly and outside of his church. -While his position in the church should have a certan value to any outside musical work in which he may he engaged, he &liquil aid the eause of music through any other available channels,. So many things are pssible, and there are 00 many ways of -going at them. He should, in co-operation with other enthusiasts, organize a chorus or singing club. It matters not wheth- er it be of men, women, children, or all three combined, so long as it is of value to the comnamity. Organists and pianists who -have never done this type of work and are not sure they could, will find out that, just as they play music in three and four parts on the piano or organ, and listen to each voice in its correct re- lation to the other for the proper blending of the parts, they can do the same with voices.
