It is the same thing'when disease is lurk- ing about, waiting for a chance to attack our bodies.: and; lay us on beds of sickness. Barriers • are, necessary. The point is that some of us- do not erect the barrier ' hi time, perhaps we do not 'erect it at all. ° Let- us think of some common diseases o d eskid. see if there are anybarriers,we cofildput u.

Diagnosis, - treatment and isolation of the patient are some of the bars we put up to check the progress of the disease. -In addition, there is the disinfection of fomites and arti- cles used by the patient. There is no- tification of the disease' to the health authorities and there is - control of contacts. The .second barrier is educa- tion, good ventilation, satisfactory hy- giene,; such as, cleanliness- of ,person and dwelling, proper 'housing condi- tions, etc.' In the case of smallpox the third barrier "is vaccination, ; The barriers erected may be slight- ly light-ly different to suit the particular dis- ease, but they are all along similar lines.

The day was hot 'and the cable apparatus worked badly. Seelerijuin was part of it, and on examination` it was found that this element was play- ing- tricks with the. sunshine.

Another barrier against the invasion of thesedisease ,germs is the control of contacts and excluding them from !school till the danger period has pass- ed. Other barriers almost` too numer- ous to mention can be put up toblock disease. These include proper •ven- tilation of horse and school, good food, avoidance of overcrowding, open-air schools and exercise, avoiding the risk -of infection by keepingaway from so- cial gatherings during an epidemic, prohibition of public drinking vessels, control of slates, pencils,' etc,," in schools, attention to diseased- tonsils and adenoids, control of the milk; and water supplies. • Disease is ever making • warfare against the human race and we must fight the enemy.

It is au unfortunate fact that nine amen out,of ever •ten are wictlm-s of. wY bloodlessness -in. ort form or another. n The glee in her teens, the wife and mother, the matron of middle age—all know its miseries. To be anaemic means that you are 'breathless' ,after slight exertions • You -feel worn out and depressed. You turn against food and often cannot 'digest what you do eat.

It is not generally appreciated, "even by Canadians, that tsars of the four great sea fishing areas of the world border on Canada. lni addition, the lakes mid rivers of the Dominion -con= stitute appritximately one-half of the fresh water of the globe, while the great inland sea of Hudson Bay, still practically untouched, iney be regard- ed ,as a reserve. Their extent alone suffices to render these various fishing areas remarkable, says the Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Department of the Interior• at Ottawa. The Atlantic coast line, from Labra- dor tothe boundary between the United States and Canada, measures over 5,000 miles -not -including the lesser bays and indentions:.Off the. coast are the uotecl fisheries of the "Grand, Banks." Moreover, 15,000 square miles of inshore waters are en- tirely •- controlled, ` by the Dominion, while Hudson Bay has a shortlino of 6,000 miles. Crossing the continent, the Pacific shoreline is over 7,000 'miletis long and. has the unique advantage; thanks to its multitude of islands,, of being ,ex- ceptionally well sheltered for fisher- men. Finally, the; fresh water lakes of the 'interior constitute an area of 220,000 square miles.. Canada's share of the Creat,Lakes• along the United Status boundary alone ':covers 34,900 square miles. These varied waters yield at least fifty edible species. That Canadian fishing. waters are exceptional in fertility,' as. well as in area, is denoted by tbe,fact that the entire catch of salmon, lobsters, her- ring, mackerel Mid " sardines, nearly; all of the haddock and -many of the .cod, hake and poliocat tins taken' within 10 to 1.2 miles front Sheen, Farther: the value of the Dominion's fisheries re- sources ie enhanced by the circum stance that the colder waters of the 'norticern:latitudes prodece fish of the finest: quality, His Number. Sanctuary Near -London Havers for Birds. • On the autakirts of London, • and within•half' en hour's journey froth the city, •is•-orie of the nest beautiful bite of - woodland in England. Few -Cana diens, or Londoners either, have ever :visited this plaoe,�or even 'know 'of its existence. It is a bird sanctuary; a veritable land of•song, which is carefully -fenced and guarded by keepers night and day, and where every kind of British bird lives and nests unhrmed. The wood .lies .in,, the, -Brent Valley' and was purchased for London two yearn ago`'and established as a'perma= net . memorial' to Gilbert White, the author of.'the "History' of Selborne;" by the Selborne :Society' in London. The sanctuary, however,' has been in' existencej twenty -One twent -one years this • and -i it :nineteen acres,' the .pear•.n s , boughs of its many oak trees and the coppices of hazel, owls., willow warb- lers, blue -tits, goldfinches, nightin- gales, blackcaps and many other birds may be seen. Were it not for this sanctuary, many of the shyer types of birds', the night- ingales particularly, would. have de- serted the ever-growing city of Lon- don. CHILDHOOD CONSTIPATION Constipated children can findprompt relief through the use of. Baby's Own Tablets. ,The. Tablets area mild but thorough;;laaa.tive which never: fail to regulate the bowels. and stomach, thus driving out constipation and indiges- tion, colds and 'simple fevers. Con- cerning them Maas, Gaspard Daigle, Demain, Que., writes: "Baby's Own Tablets have been of great benefit to my little boy, who was suffering from constipation and indigestion. They quickly' relieved him and now he is in the best of health." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by- mail at 25c a box, from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co, :Brockville, Ont. • Have You Joined One Yet?

Many think- that those who drink Green Tea are more critical' judges of quality than those who, drink black.

Wealth From Whales. Ambergris, derived from the intes- tines of the whale, is. found in lumps up to 300 ib. in weight, either floating in the Tropic seas or cast up on the shores • of Madagascar, China and Jap- an, • The whole of the constituents of ambergris, being of a highly- coanpli-. Gated character, have not yet been identified and isalated.' Ambergris was known in very early times, and was reputed to possess highly curative properties for certain diseases: Its present high, cost—twenty_three dollars .an ounce—is due, entirely to the uncertainty of the.suppiies, to its use in perfumery as a fixative, and to its highly pleasant and delicate musk - like odor. .., j When we'r'e 'thele and spend our : ° • EASY TRICKS Four Kings g The four kings- -are taken from a pack of cards and ,displayed.
