One of the most pressing needs in country homes at this season of the year is better ventilation. In the summertime we keep our win- ,dows open and so escape pneumonia and other bad air infections: In the winter the windows are shut down tigi t, worm doors and storm windows are put on te keep out what little fresh air might find its way into the house, and as a result people die by thousands from these bad air diseases. We would not think of washing our hands and our face in filthy water. But we are content continually to bathe our lungs in dirty air and thereby make welcome some oi' the.e worst diseases that .lesh is heir to. • V# are getting away from our fear of :re sh air.

And us not be backward in preaching the gospel oi fresh air as well as prac- ticing its precepts. -Farm and Dairy. • Danger in Tobacco. • Medical examiners*tell us that nine- tentim of the rejected applicants for the United States Army are refused on account of tobacco heart. King Ed - ware died of tobacco heart. Mark Twain was another victim of this di- sease. A king of Hungary fell a his horse some time ago and lost his life because of his defective vision due to smoking. The death rate from disease of the heart and blood vessels has in- creased within the last ten years from 6 per 100,000 to 24 per 100,000, or 400 per cent. Is there no evidence from these facts that it is not harmless to adults? No experienced coach will allow men in training for athletic events to make use of tobacco, so well known are its effects upon the heart. A well-known physician said to the writer just before the Yale -Harvard boat -race: "I -am sure Yale will be beaten, for the coach permits the men to use tobacco." The ill effects of tobacco upon the kidneys are familiar to all physicians. Statistics gathered some years ago showed that 10 per cent of all smokers have albumen in the urine. The physician forbids the use of tobacco or very greatly restricts its use in cases of Bright's disease. m4404 A WO AN'S AY TO GET RELIEF TAKE GIN PILLS FOR LAME BACK. • TirlliSIDR, P. 0., ONT.

That the common "cold" is rightly named, inasmuch as it is generally due to the lowering of the resisting power of the organism by a ebill, is asserted by a writer in the Dietetic and Hygiens io Gazette, wile does not approve of what he calls "strenuous contemporary effort to belittle the nomenclature of our ancesters." An infective malady the cold is, of course; but the germs are abundant and they get in their work only when there has been due preparation for them. Cold, we are assured, is almost invariably the prim- ary cause of colds, while bacteria, which of late have been receiving the chief credit for these disturbances, are but secondary. Bacteria swarm most abundantly in warm weather, and yet winter is the chief season of colds. Summer colds usually follow some in- discretion, such as sitting on. the cold ground. In such an instance fatigue maybe placed as the first cause and cold second, but neither of these places can be given over to bacteria, which, thus given the opportunity to do so, finally kick up the main part of the trouble. Cold is, and always has been, the greatest enemy V life. Life swarms in the tropics, but leads a sor- ry existence at the poles. And this reminds us of the chief argument of the all -bacteria etiologists for colds. They will say immediately that Arctic explorers do not suffer frorn colds until theireturn to civilization, when "they all come down with colds." It may be that the aiders and abettors of colds in its production of disease tire absent or in abeyance in the Arctic region, but men who go into that region become so exhausted during their prolonged ex- posure to cold that they are rendered upon their return to warmer regions a more than easy prey to the bacteria. We have never read that explorers in the tropics succumbed to colds on their return to the temperate regions, even though the return is made in January. Even the Indians knew enough to keep themselves warm and especially to guard against refrigeration of the ex- tremities. Ben Franklin tells us how they took this precaution even in time of war when it was too dangerous for them to have a smoking fire. They 'dug a pit in which they set fire to , charred remains of burned trees, and slept with their legs dangling in the hole. A hunter in the Canadian woods who, notwithstanding his absence from civilization, took a severe cold, asked his sole companion, an Indian guide, how to keep from taking cold. He res ceived the laconic reply, "Keep your feet dry." Even an Indian whose skin has not been so softened to the effects as have ours, appreciates that cold is the antecedent of colds and takes pre- caution accordingly. , THE.

A most elaborate • trend, and one shish required several confederates, wee the bank note swindle, to which were allied the gold bar and gold dust trausi, all these being carried through smultaneously by the famous gang of wnica Susio was the leader. Ernesto eusio, elegant gentleman in appear- ance and manner and money -lender, had his eye on the gilded youth of Naples, the fortunes and expectations of whom were accurately known to 1,ira.v "As you are a customer," he would say, insinuatingly, to a visitor, "I can put you in the way of making a grand stroke. Ten thousand lire ($2,000), will do the trick. I can offer you a :,eries of 1,000 lire bank notes, precise- ly the same 4 genuine, which were secretly struck out during the last is- sue. You shall have them at 10 per cent. of their face value. It's one of those chances I like to put in the way of those wh.o give me their custom. No, don't put your money down yet. 1 understand your eagerness, but 1 •shall hold to my offer. We must carry through the deal in a quiet place. I am going to -morrow to Vil- lanova (a village outside Naples). Meet me at such and such an hour." To the next youth who came along, Susio would say: "I have a number of gold bars, and s:ime boxes of gold dust which I can ofier you at quarter value. They came into my hands through some smug- glers who have since been caught. _I:hr....Told is assayed at 18 carats; no. don't worry about the cash now, but bring it to -morrow to Villanova, when the bars and boxes will be brought along. I like to carry through these l'-ttle matters outskle my business pre-- mises." Both victims turn up next day in time and in addition to Susio there are the friend with. the gold and one pr two others who are to see that the deal goes through fairly. Susio has just handed over notes and bars when, suddenly, a couple of excise agents make their appearance and demand in the name of the law who the par- ties are and what they are doing. The scene ends by their transference to a local police eourt, where the in- • spector declares they are all liable to heavy punishment, and he seizes the cash, both good and had, the gold bars acid .the gold dust. The victims, frightened beyond measure, produce more money to hush up the matter and get free, even under the threat of being called up later unless the "inspector" can smooth the affair at. the excise office. The two victims keep very quiet about the whole af- fair and the Susio gang, including the sham officers, are left in undis- turbed possession of their ill-gotten booty. Fashionable Shoes. Corns, bunions, and other torturing foot troubles are on the increase, and there is no reason for this. For many years some have suffered by wearing shoes that are utterly unlike in shape to the feet they are to incase. These caricatures were !`the fashion" and everyone who wore foot -gear had either to go bare-footed or wear them. A pointed toe crowds the toes together in an un -natural position, while the high heel throws the entire weight of the body Upon the front of the foot and toes, which were never intended to bear such a weight. The results of wearing shoes With narrow toes and high heels, are flat foot, bunions, corns and interference with the circulation. In selecting a shoe the following points as -to its shape should be considered. The shoe must be fully as wide as the sole of the foot. The heels should be • low and broad. The shoe must be so flexible that the foot, may be easily bent while raising the foot on the toes while walking, The inner side of the shoe should be in a straight line; any shoe that slopes from the heel outward, to the tee is bad, The toe of the shoe should be broad enough to permit all of the toes to lie side by' Side without crowding. No shoe should '.e so tight around the ankle as to hinder the cir- culation. W. C.

The grayness of evening was creep- ing over the little suburb. Far away the shrill voice of newspaper boys could be heard calling the 6.30 edi- tions, and the moon cast its pale beams on the worried woman who stood anxiously over her garden gate. "I can't make out where my hus- band has got toe" she remarked to a neighbor. "He went out nearly three • hours ago with our cat, a bag, two bricks and the clothesline. He was going to the river to drown the cat. Oh, what can have h,apperted to him?" "Don't worry, dear," said the sym- • pathetic neighbor. "Cats take an awful time to drown, you know." "But it can't be that -keeping him," sobbed the distracted wife, "because the cat came back more than an hour ago."

Tbarsdayo January 25tb# was the One hundred 1124 fifty-third anniven, eary of the birth of Robert Rums, and oa this day men and women of Scots tish •origin everywhere engaged in • celebrating the event. It was on Jan- uary 25, 1759 near Auld Alloway Kirk, in Ayrshire, that the ever -fatuous "blast o' Jane war win' blew hansel in on Rebin". His life extended over thirty-seven years only, the poet dying at Dumfries on July 21, 1790,His birthday has been celebrated with even increasing enthusiasm by his admiring countrymen ever since, and his Mune is a bond of union among them the world over. PROFIT IN DAIRYING. The following question was put up to the dairymen by Chas. F. Whitley, who has charge of cow -testing work for the Dominion Department of Agri- culture. '"If we agree that it takes $40 to feed a cow for one year, then with milk at $1 per 100 lbs., an animal must give 4,000 lbs. milk before she returns one cent of profit. Do all your cows give over 4,000 lbs. of milk in a year?" That all cows do not give over 4,000 lbs. of milk was made clear by investi- gations carried on by Mr. Whitely. He examined the record of 1,600 cows in different counties last year and found that 35 per cent. of these gave less than 4,000 lbs. In other words. 7 out of every 20 cows among those test- ed could not be said to j ield one dollar of profit. Mr. Whitely gave a striking compari- son between the record made by eleven cows in Lanark and five cows in Ox- ford. The eleven cows in Lanark gave an average of 3,984 lbs. of milk and 131 lbs. of fat. •The total yield of 11 cows in Lanark was 41,737 lbs. of milk and 1,445 lbs. fat. The five cows in the Oxford h'erd gave an average of 12,068 lbs. of milk and 400 lbs of fat. The total yield of the five cows in Ox- ford was 60,340 lbs. of milk and 2,508 lbs. of fat. • In other words the five cows gave nine tons of milk and a quarter of a ton of fat more than the 11 cows in Lanark. The average profit per cow in the 11 cow herd was $3; the average profit per cow -on the five cows in Oxford was $80. One cow in the good herd equals the net returns of 16 cows in the poor herd. "Just see," said Mr. Whitely, "what this means in the way of loss of human energy. It is estimated that sixty hours will be spent in milking a cow during ten months of the year. If only 21 per cent. of the cows in Canada yield 4,000 lbs. of milk or under a year, it means that 30,000,000 hours are spent in milking profitless cows. In other words the energy lost in this way, is equal to the work done by horses in plowing 875,000 acres of land." What is the secret of the wonderful popularity of Burns, and why do the Scots so honor him? It is because his people see in him a man of the most wonderful human sympathy, who is at the same time the very incarnation of Scotland. Burns has been well styled the poet of human nature. Is there any note of sympathy absent from his touch? Is it dramatic power? Let him who reads "The Jolly Beggars," say if a born dramatist is not here! It is humor? Let "Tarn o' Shanter" tell! Is it love? Let "Mary Morrison" or "Mary in Heaven" make reply. Is it, the joy of the home? "The Cotter's Saturday Night," will answer! Is it patriotism? read "Scots Wha Hae wi' Wallace Bled!" Is it the halo of mem- ory? read "John Anderson, my Joe"! Is it the power of withering denuncia- tion? read "Death and Dr. Hornbook!" Is it the height of poetic aspiration? read "rheVision!" Is it the melting mood of tenderness? read "My Nannie's Awa!" Is it the democratic note? "A Man's a Man for a' That" is the most splendid ballad of Democracy in the possession of the English-speaking race! The people of Scotland and their de- scendants may well be thankful for Burns; and only they, for the great Ploughman Poet has been one of the world awakeners. His accent is Scot- tish, but his speech is cosmopolitan, and men of every race are ready to recognize his worth. When he appeared in a conventional and prosaic time, his people heard a man's voice, and his songs were sung _with a verve and strength of nature that stirred the popular heart to its very depths. He awoke the poor and despised to the dignity of man as man, irrespective of the accidents of poverty and wealth, and helped to deliver men from the bebasing worship of gold. He opened ed man's eyes to the wealth of trage- dy and comedy, of beauty and romance in the lives of the people around him, in the cotter's home, and in the lives of the country lads and lassies. He opened his people's eyes to the hateful- ness of all shams acid hypocrisies of meanness, selfishness and pride, of all narrowness and greed, cruelty -"man's inhumanity to man." He awoke a deeper sympathy with the downtrod- den and oppressed; and a wider and tenderer feeling for the animal crea- tion, through, for example, his wound- ed hare, the poor wee mousie turned out of house and home by the plough- share, the wee bird "coWering its chit - tering wings out somewhere in the wintry blast." He opened man's eyes also to the cruelty and injustice of harsh judgement, seen oftenest per- haps in people judging or misjudging others who, fallen by the wayside, or sunk under influences to which they themselves have never been exposed. And so this strong, brave, manly singer, springing from a Scottish cot- tage home, not only caught the univer- sal ear, but touched with new light, inspiration, joy and hope, the hearts of millions, and with his immortal songs of love, home and country, welded to- gether the hearts of Scottish people all over the world. He stirred up in the hearts of his countrymen the sacred flame of liberty and independence and awoke within them a new conscious- ness of their national life and' national unity -a life is complete harmony with the spirit of international fraternity, and glowing with the hope of that day: • "When man to man the world o'er Shall brithers be, for a' that!"
