"Fel l mately, before it wits too late, I Woke up to talo, fact
that I wet, giving the live stork better shelter and mum metufortss
than lily a'id'e and children."
By Donald Morton.
I am not like my &alit neighbor
to the north. He tells me that when
he was a young man he inherited ten
pounds from a rich unele. "Man,"
he adds, "I was such a spendthrift and
a wiiSLrcl that by the end of seven
years left
ye s there was not tt
of the whole sum,"
I never inherited any great fortune,
as did my Gaelic neighbor. I was
wastrel a or roy.t t ,

worked hard all my life, far harder
than any of my children will ewer have
to work, I hope and verily believe.
There were a good many years when
it was my ambition to have mord land
and more stork than tiny of my neigh-
bors. That ambition plied with my
firstborn, for the doetor's bills were
large and there was sadness in the
goodwife's eyes, and we had other
things than money to think of. Fol-
lowed then the years when I turned to
public service fur forgetfulness: town-

so far as shelter le concerned, May-
be I have been a wastrel and need up
my ten -pound inheritance in seven
years, as my extravagant Scoteh
neighbor did when he was young. But
the ornamental work has brightened
the eyes of the boy who was geine

ened to go, but whom I would have
lost, sooner or Inter, had it not been
for the new house, I am sure. It
was worth all it cost.
For instance, you enter the house by
way of a cement -floor terrace or

When obstruction oecurs in the sew-

In the same meaner when the hu-

are generated, waste tied poisonous

over the body of the blood current,
skin diseases break out, you are bent
over with pain in your abdomen and
the resisting power of your body to in-

Many diseases which have a fatal

It is quite as important to keep
the intestines free from poisonous ma-
terial as it is to supply it with the
food which is essential to life.
What is the situation -here is a
tube thirty feet long the last third of
it the large intestine, the reservoir for
waste matter, two or three times the
caliber of the other two thirds, the
small intestine.
In the Iarge intestine also are valves
and folds, greatly increasing its capa-

is so elastic it can easily he made to

If this material is piisonous you

Encourage Musical Talent.
It is a good thing to cultivate the
i Ieast inclination or talent for music in
young people, There can hardly be
too much pleasure in the average hu-
man life, and whatever will add to the
sum total is worth while, and music
certainly does this. A person who
can play one instrument even fairly
well, or who can sing, has something
to contribute to society, and is there-
fore in demand. So it often happens
that young people who lack accom-
plishments feel that they are unpopu-
lar, and pass many unhappy hours
that might have been spared them.
smaller Instru.ments,-the violin, gut -
The piano must head the list, but the
tar, mandolin, etc., make excellent
music, and for a person who sings the
guitar makes a good accompaniment,
while a violin is always welcome in
company. Young girls now play the
violin as often as young men do. A
flute, well played, makes charming
music, and the banjo is popular; but
the instrument which attracts the
most attention to -day is the ukulele,
which comes to us by way of Hawaii,
It will pay to matte some sacrifice to
obtain a musical accomplishment, but
whatever will make life happier for
ourselves and others is worth the cost'
of the time and labor.
Cryolit--a source of aluminum,
used also in making soda and glass -

dragging pada, occasionally, in this
part of the abdomen. and have had
it during the last three or four
months.
2 -Will vinegar or lemon juice
harm the hair?
Answer---le-It would be unusual
for the appendix to be transposed
from the right side, where it belongs,
to the left side, although I believe it
has occasionally been found there. It
is more likely that you are suffering
from gas in the intestines, or from
adhesions, than from a displaced ap-
pendix.
2--I do not think that either vine-
gar or lemon juice would work either
harm or benefit to the hair, but I
would suggest that it would be better
not to use either.
A Reader -Will you kindly inform
me whether a leaking valve is a seri-
ous heart trouble, or whether it can be
cured and, if so, how?
Answer --It is sometimes serious
and sometimes it is not very serious.
I would suggest that you send stamp-
ed and self-addressed envelope and an
'article on Valvular Disease of the
Heart will be sent you, which will in-
form you in regard to this disease.

MAKING ENGLAND LARGER.
Psamma Grass Being Used to Stabil-
ize Shifting Sand Dunes.
England's scientists are giving con-
siderable attention to the problem of
permanently increasing the area of
the British Isles by stabilizing the
thousands of acres of land which are
being added to them every few years
in the form of huge sand dines cast
up by wind and waves.
In stabilizing the sand dunes great
reliance is placed on planting them
with marram grass.. Just how this
accomplishes the desired purpose is
explained in a British periodical, as
follows:
"The tevo chief methoda of stabiliz-
ing a sand dune are by a rigid fenee
and a living plant, around either of
which the shifting sand will gather

The first thing he did was to shake his
