In all pro- gressive countries, however, there is at the present time an extraordinary interest being taken in the question of dieting, particularly as regards the causation .of certain diseases, the origin of which has hitherto been somewhat obscure. Much of the food eaten to -day is not of the rightkind to promote and maintain good health. It is deficient in fat-soluble vitamines, because through habit or custom, large numbers of people are not particular- ly fond of green vegetables, milk, cheese or eggs. When the question of green vegetables is mentioned, many people shrug their shoulders and say v ernment accounted for an output o1. 711,356 'pounds „of honey worth $177,- 839, which was a very gratifying in- crease for the period. Owing to Con- ditions being distinctly unfavorable In 1923 the season was- an unfortunate one, for British Columbia beekeepers, and a decline in production was re- corded, with 432,518 pounds worth $95,154. Conditions' for the pursuit of apicuI- ture in British Columbia are naturally excellent, and' it' is gratifying to view the increasing interest being mani- fested in the industry. Honey produc- tion on the Pacific. coast. -is annually increasing as more devotees are en- itsted to follow it as either a side line or exclusively. The profit to be de- rived from the industry is being more strongly realized in the fruit 'dis- tricts, where beekeepers' associations exist for the promotion of apiculture and the aid of the' beekeeper.

The Armenians cover a new-born infant's skin with finel -powdered salt, After being left on for three hours, the -ca.It is washed of'; with warm water. A mountain tribe of Asia Minor leaves the baby covered in this way for twen- ty-four hours. The Greeks sprinkle their babies with salt at the christening, a custom that also narks the naming of child- ren in some parts of tjermany. In countries where thin custom per- Mzts it is believed that''the practice endows a child with health and strength, and that it also wards off evil influences. A Forest's Fireproofr Carpet. Agricultural experts in Algeria have. found a now method of preventing 'for- est fires. It consists in carpeting the 'ground under the trees with a hardy creeping plant 'thatwill not burn. Juicy giants that 'do not dry up and that spread rapidly even in the shade 'are being planted. Not only are the plants incombust- ible, but they have an aulditional'•value it conserving the moisture of the soil. Weeds arealso choked by the thick, obscu ring foliage.

M. , The ordinary diet consists largely of bread, butcher's meat, potatoes, jam, tea and coffee.. Milk is often neglected, and yet milk should form a larger hart of our diet than is et present the case. The problem of such a commonplace. thing as defective teeth awould be solved by greeter; attentioaa being paid to the diet of children, and the decline in infant mortality is largely due to the instructiornin infant feeding ,which now forms such, a large part of infant welfare work. The experience - of. many observers has proved that the number of rickety children had con- siderably decreased since dried milk was used in preference to patent foods. Cod liver oil is known to be espe- cially rich in some of the essential vitamines; and some authorities urge that cod, liver oil: and milk should be provided at all welfare centres. EASY TRICKS '. The: Human Complex. Gone Again One who has anything to do with b This clever stunt is performed with two very small, dice, the kind sold with cheapeditions of some counting games being very satis- factory. The smaller the dice the easier the trick is to. do,.b,ut with • practice it may be done -with' dice of almost any size, ' The attention of the spectators - is called to the fact that opposite sides of each, die always totals. seven. Thin is a fact with every :properly made -die. The twodice are placed bo the tip of the fore- finger and the . spectators'. are. asked to observe which numbers are on top. ' The -numbers being noted; the ,thumb of the same hand is; placed'- on them. The spectators are asked to tell, which. numbers will be undermost. As they• have Learned that the spots; on 'opposite sides of ;Faille always total seven they are able to`an- swer the question. When, the hand is turned over and the fore- finger ore- finger lifted it is seen that two other spots are presented to View. The fdreflnger again covers the dice and the hand Is turned ,over. The thumb is,Iifte'd and the spots originally seen are exposed: The secret Is very simple;' but the trick is perplexing. When the hand is turned, over,` the - thumb is drawn baek, a trifle, causing, each die to make a quar- ter of .a revolution. - With a little practice. this can be done without fear of detection. The same. movement, reversed, restores the dice to their original positions. (Oily this out and paste it, 'with other of the series, in a scrapbook.)

The scheme of the universe was not so devised that any ;of us can go it alone and have everything his own way. Napoleon and the Kaiser tried it, and lost. Again and again in busl- ness men have risen to a lofty peak and fallen far, because they were self- sufficient and would not call others its - to counsel. When an only child goes from a family that has spoiled him to a school that pays little heed to him, the larger part of his educational experience is to find where he belongs. He learn his real size on a scale that is not of his own making. So it is with the indivilualist in this great round world we inhabit together. He must concede. He must learn the virtue and the beauty of teamwork_ He cannot have at once all that he be- lieves- he wants; he must ienounce gaban- don, things and., modify, if notaan- don, his claim to the rest. The strongest, apparently riding to power over ' delicate scruples and quashing the will 'or others, are at tunes strangely conciliatory and gentle, if they mean to hold the place they,;win. For mankind, while it for- ever seeks a leader and in that leader demands a fighting- spirit, will give neither its love nor its abidingconfi- dence tothe selfish. If we are sure we are right, the at- titude to • take toward those who can- not see things as we see them is not brusque dismissal of their views and feelings, but an effort to understand and to clarify misunderstanding. ._�-=, m .

Mothers should not ignore their un- settled moods or the various. troubles that tell of approaching • womanhood, it is an important time of life. Where pallor, headache, backache or other signs of anaemia are evident you must provide the sufferer with '.the surest means of making new blood. Remember, pale, bloodless• girls need plenty of nourishment, plenty of sleep, and regular open-air exercise. But to save the bloodless• sufferer she must have new blood—and nothing meets the case so well -as Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills'. These pills increase the supply of new, red blood; : they stimulate the appetite and relieve the weary back and limbs; thus they re- store health and charm, and bring to anaemic girls the rosy cheeks and bright eyes of strong, happy girlhood.'
