A Fox's Family 'Problem.
Poor Mrs. Fax had a hard 'problem
on her paws. She had even children,
four boys and three girls, and when.
feeding time came the boys—being
boys --always took thelion's share.
Mrs. Fox saw her -little, girls daily
growing thinner. What should she do?`
In 'Wild Live in Devon Mr. " Douglas,
Gordon, who for some days had been
watching the. family ;beneath the fir
trees, thus describes how she solved
her problem.
— When next I' saw the foxes I dis-
covered -that the family had diminish-
ed in numbers. It took me some little
time to make sure of it, but at Fast I
became convinced_ beyond a doubt.that
only three remained, and the curious
thing :vas that the •remaining ` three
were certainly the weaker cubs, for
whom I had been apprehensive. They
appeared to .°appreciate the change;
their little bodies were rounded out
with the now abundant food that the
mother brought them. But I was
vexed and a good deal puzzled to ac
count for the loss of the others; , I
feared foul play somewhere,' but could
trace it home to no one.
.When questioned, the gamekeeper
could throw no light on the matter or
offer any probable explanation. In
the course of our conversation, how-
ever, he tolad me of another litter that
he had discovered in a certain gorge,
a famous breeding place a mile or two
away. '
I at once set myself to study the.
newcomers. But for some time I got
only fleeting glimpses of the cubs as
they played amongst the brushwood.,.
One afternoon, however, while lying
in wait in my chosen lookout, I 310-
ticed an old fox coming up the gorge,
carrying what looked like a young
crow. Now was my chance. I focus-
sed my'glass. .on the fox,, started, look-
ed again and then set the glass down
in astonishment. It was ,the salve old
vixen! Her unusual marking brand-
ed her beyncl all possibility, of mis=
take, and it was with something more
than interest that I now watched her°
movements.

again to be -'Sure. Four beautiful brims
were there, somewhat larger than
when I` had last seen them, but un-
doubtedly the very four that had 'dis-

The chief cause of deathin the grave warnings of approaching dan

largely preventable. The former, bet-

infection usually transmitted from the

causative agents. The years 1919,

of albuminuria could be prevented in
many instances by proper supervision.
Albuminuria extracts a toll of just
nineteen per cent of all puerperal

HEALTHY CHILDREN Insects With Flying Homes:
ALWAYS SLEEP WELL
The healthy child sleeps well and
during its waking hours is never cross
but always happy and laughing. It is
only the sickly child that is• cross and
peevish. Mothers, if your children do
not sleep well; if they are cross and
cry a great deal, give them' Baby's
Own Tablets and they will soon be
well and happy again. TheTablets,
are a mild but thorough laxative which
regulate the bowels, sweeten the atom
ach, banish constipation, colic and in-
digestion and 'promote healthful sleep.
They are, absolutely guaranteed free
from opiates and may be given to the
new-born babe' with perfect safety.
You can obtain `the Tablets through

Ainong our most curious insects are
bird -flies, which spend their lives at-
tached to the warm' bodies of various
kinds of wild birds.
There are not many varieties of these
passenger flies, and among those re-
cently discovered in America were a
few species known in Europe. This
extensive' distribution of the few is.
believed to be due to the fact that the
insects frequent certain kinds of nal -
grating birds.
These insects detach themselves
from thetheir s
e body of tl e r est should he
die, and dart off to find another bird
on which to live.
The mother bird -flies lay Only one
large egg at a time. This develops in-
to a peculiar kind of larva. It lives
with its mother until grown up, when
it is either deposited in a suitable spot
or just left to look after, itself.
"A Farm Woman's Prayer" reads:
"Keep ever in my soul a sense of the,
perspective, that my kettles and dish-
cloths may not obscure the beauty of
the rose blooming outside my door, the
quiver of the leaves in the summer
wind and the, classic purity of the
snow on the valley or hill." •

Requires .a . Mother's Constant
Care and Watchfulness.
In their early teens it is quite com-
mon for girls to outgrow their
strength, and mothers should careful-
ly watch the health of their daughters
at this time, for it is when strength is
sapped by too rapid growth that
anaemia -develops. The first signs
may ie noticed by peevishness, lan-
guor and headaches. The face grows
pale, breathlessness end palpitation
follow, with low spirits.
At the first symptom of anaemia
mothers should act at once. Neglect-
ed anaemia often leads to decline, but
if, you see that your daughter's blood"
is enriched there need be no cause for
anxiety. The finest' blood enricher
ever discovered is Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, The pure, red blood created by
these pills will quickly banish all
signs of anaemia. They will build up
your girl's health and ensure her a
robust girlhood. Give your daughter
a course of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
now. Make her strong like thousands
of girls and women throughout Can-
ada who have been rescued from the
clutches of anaemia by Dr. Williams'

A Few Tis for the Boys'
Glee Club in Schools.
The boys' glee club should be con-
sidered by all the school as a special-
ized course of instruction in singing
for boys. It denotes a considerable
degree of talent and training. Al-
though not repaired, there should be
some premium put upon ability to
read well.
In organizing a glee club the invita-
tion should be extended to every boy,
with the understanding- that he will
be given a competitive examination.
There are various ways and systems
of giving 1telli i aary examinations.
The final test of a voice in so small
an organization as a glee club is the
blending quality it has with the other
voices. "It was the writer's. privilege
to hear a glee club of one of the uni-
versities recently. The young men
looked and acted well, but they :suf-
fered the handicap of poor voice selec-
tion,•which in turn caused the group
to fail in putting over any great thrills
that -the audience fully expected. An
individual voice may sound -one way
alone, but, possibly, quite another way
when with other voices.
Dignified standards should be set up,
and when once going should be rigidly
adhered to. Troublesome rehearsal at-
tendance can be eliminated by keeping
a waiting list of replacements. This also
works well in other disciplinary ca-
pacities. ,
However, no standard should he so
high as to disgust a boy; no rules so
rigid as to be prohibitive of -trial and
effort.. Always consider that suck an
organization depends largely upon
good will and voluntary effort. This
alone should be the fist evidence of
interest. Take this interest and buil.
with it. There is a great Ileal of in-
teresting , work to be done with the
boys' glee club. ' -

Quickness Of The I -:and
This 'stunt is not very easy to
do but when It is well practiced it
is a very mystifying trick. Prop-
erly performed it usually does a
great deal to persuade folks that
there really is something in the
magician's stock claim that "the
quickness of the hand deceives the
eye.
Hold a half 'dollar in your right
hand between the thumb and the
finger tips, the right* hand being
about six inches from the open left.
Move the thumb away from the
coin. , With considerable force
throw the coin fiat on the palm
of the deft hand. As the coin strikes
the palm, the left hand moves very
swiftly toward the open right and
the coin flies back and is caught in
the right,
The return of the coin to the
right hand is so rapid that the eye
cannot follow it and the effect is
that the coin was slapped into the
left hand which immediately closes.
Tho left hand is opened and is seen
to be empty. The right hand is
opened and is seen to contain the
coin. ,

Lake Casts Up' Sulphate.
When the water of Salt hake, Utah,
reaches a temperature below 30 de-
grees Fahrenheit, it manufactures
sodium 'sulphate and accommodatingly
casts it up on the beach. The fact that
the deposit of sodium sulphate can be
gathered before it goes back' into solu-
tion has led to the construction of a
plant for harvesting and refining the
material into a commercial. product.
The average period of production will
be two months each year. During a
season of mild winter there may be
none produced and during, years of
cold winter the sodium sulphate' may.
be precipitated for three months,
judging by weather records of twenty
years.

World's Wealth Reaches
Amazing Total.
The aggregate pre-war wealth of the
twenty -odd nations actively engaged
in the great war, according to an esti-
mate completed by the research de-
partment of the Bankers' Trust Com-
pany, of New York, amounted to 3630,-
000,000,000,
630;000,000,000, The wealth of these same
nations to -day is estimated to he about
$619,000,000,00.0. The pre-war wealth
of the British Empire—that is of Great
Britain, the dominion's, India• and the
crown colonies, was approximately
$140,000,000,000, while to -day the
wealth of this same group of nations
is estimated by the Bankers' Trust
Company to be around $149,000,000,-
000 The wealth of France before the
war is placed at just under 360,000,-
000,000, and is estimated to be ap-
proximately the same to -day. The pre-
war wealth of the United States is
placed at -200,000,000,000 ' and the
wealth to -day at -230,000,000,000, while
the pre-war wealth of Germany is esti
mated to have been upward of $55,000,-
000,000. ` These figuresare all on the
gold ; pre-war basis of values, having.
been adjusted for inflation.
The per capita wealth of Great Bri-
tain to -day is placed at $1,489 and of ,
the different nations composing the
British Empire at $418, including the
wealth and population of India. The
wealth of France is estimated, in 1913,
to be $1,484 per capita and of the
United States., $2,000 per capita. The
wealth of Germany is placed at $901
per capita.
The Bankers' Trust Company points
out that the total wealth of the former
belligerents has not materially
changed as 'a result of the war, but
that there has been a marked redistri-
bution of such wealth, this redistribu-
tion ' having taken place not only as
between nations but also as between
the 'peoples within" --the boundaries of,

Sarnia, Ontario.—"After my girlie
was born I was a wreck.
My nerves
were too terrible for words and I sim-
ply could not stand or walk without
pains. I suffered with fainting spells
until I was no longer any good for my
household duties and had to take to my
bed. The doctor said I should have an
operation, but I was not in a fit condition
at that time. My neighbor said, 'Why
don't you try Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg-
etable Corripound? I am sure it will do
you good and will save those doctor's
bills. So I was advised by my.husband
to try it after I told him about it. I am
very thankful to say that I was soon
able to take a few boarders for a while
as rooms were scarce at that time. My
baby is 17 months old now and I have;
not yet hadan operation, thanks to your
medicine. I have recommended the
Vegetable Compound to a few people
know and have told them the good it hat
done me. I know I feel and look a dif-
