Inflammation of the tonsil occurs in several forme, some mild and seine severe, There are elrronic tonsllitie and two forme oe acute tonsilitis--a simple form that is Important only lleoause it may be mistaken for diph- theria, and a severe suppurating form elf great severity that is often called guano', In the simple form of acute tonsil Itis the tonsils are red and swollen and the surface is studded with whit- iieh patches. At the beginning there la more or leas fever, the throat 10 sore, and the patient fedls sick and is prostrated out of all proportion to the real gravity of the disease, The fever lusts only two or three days, and as it fails the tonsillar inflammation subsides. But although the patient es left very weak, he rapidly recovers Ma strength, as a rule, and by the end of a week from the onset of tele at- tack he is usually as well as ever. The chief importance of this form of ton- Sillitis ie the superficial resemblance that it hears to diphtheria, or father the danger that diphtheria may actu- ally be ereernt and untaken for sim- ple tau:: ill:tie. In simple tonsillitis the exudation is in the form of a thick membrane; eeplitheria it is the secretion from the inflamed glands in the tonsils, nich e mien from their mouths and •,messes to form patched of some ex- tent.

In many such rases the teeth are blamed for the trouble, but if an X-ray examination shows them to be sound at the roots, they are not responsible; and even if they are abscessed, the tonsils should he examined as possible accomplices. If baifteria known to cause systemic disease are found on the tonsils, the tensile should be removed or most ihor::ughiy treated to remove infec- tion. -- -0-- Composts c. _Composts as a Source of Humus and Nitrogen. The examination of many types of soil --clays, silts, and sands—virgin and cultivated, has furnished evidence of a very emphatic character regard- ing the fundamental and vital im- portance of send -decomposed organic matter (humus) as a soil constituent. It acts mechanically in improving tilth, lightening and ntellow,ing heavy clays end increasing' the moisture - holding capacity of all classes of soils. It supports the microscopic life of the soil, the function of which is to pre- pare plant food for crop use, And, lastly, it is the natural storehouse of nitrogen—the most expensive of all plant foods when purchased in the form of fertilizer. One of the chief objects in view of any intelligent, ra- tional method of soil management is the upkeep and if possiblq the increase of the soil's humus content. Applica- tions of farm manures and the turn- ing under of green crops—clover, buckwheat, rye, ate.—are the princi- pal means of adding humus -forming materials to the soil, and these may be supplemented, cheaply and effect- ively, by composts. Every farm, every market garden, should have its compost hetip, for such affords the most economical (and sanitary) means of utilizing the vege- table and animal refuse, indeed all forms of organic waste. To enumer- ate some of the materials that can be profitably used in this way: potato tops, cabbage loaves, waste straw, dead loaves, kitchen waste, bid sods, the cleanings of ditches, road scrap- ings, muck and peat, pond and stream deposits; all these materials and many snore rich in organic matter may by composting be converted into a forc- ing nature of very considerable value by reason of its humus content and its store of readily available plant food, In these days it behooves us to abandon our wasteful ways and util- ize everything that may make the land more productive. Me practice of burning all organic refuse is an ex- ceedingly wasteful one and should only be followed when, by reason of the presence of the eggs, spores and seeds of injurious Insects and plants, the colnposicd material would be likely to disseminate tlisoase, The making of the compost heap is a very simple affair. It can be 'built pp of :tltorn/lio layers, of say six inches, of refuse (Including swamp muck if much is abtninnble) and Ina - Mire, to any height, Cove r- Ing the whole with fewinhes of good soil or muck. The heap should he kept motet, that decay may pro- ceed, but not so wot as to cause drain - ago front the heap. Tho rosult, in a few weeks or several months, accord- ing to tete 004E1011 of the year, will be a manure of very ennsidora1do fertil- izing value, capable of it npxoving,liotii clay and sandy !Mims and ospeelally gleeful for vegetable and garden crops. Oily Thrift Stdttlpi, A DESIRE TO EAT WHAT YOU WANT Row Stomachs Can be Restored to a Vigorous, Healthy Condition. Not to be limited to diet, but to eat whatever ho pleases is the dream of every dyspeptic. No one can honest- ly promise to restore any stomach to this happy condition, because all People cannot eat the same things with equaily satisfactory results. It is literally true that "what is one man's food is another melee poison," But it ie possible to so tone up the digestive organs that a pleasing diet may be selected from articles of food that cause no discomfort. When the stomach lacks tone there is no quicker way to restore it than to build up the blood. Good digestion without rich, red blood is impossible, and Dr. Williams' Pink Pitoffer the very best way to build up and enrich the blood. For this reason these pills are especially good in stomach trouble attended by thin blood, and in attacks 0f nervous dyspepsia, Proof of the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills In even the moot obstinate cases of stomach trouble Is given by Mrs. S. Morrison, 'Varney, Ont., who says:— "1 shall always feel indebted to a friend who advised me to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I had been a sufferer for upwards of twelve years with stomach trouble which resulted in a general weakness of the whole system. My meals always caused me great discomfort, and at times T would go hungry rather than undergo the suffering which followed meals. I was constantly tailing something or other recommended for the trouble, but without finding a cure, and often ' the trouble kept Inc In bed when I should have been about doing my houaeworlr. 1\ly friend, who had had a similar attack, came to see me and urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which had helped her. I got a supply 'at once and began taking them, and sogn found relief. By the time I had used eight boxes I was again en- joying the best of health, and with a good appetite and a stomach restored to normal. Had I known of this medi- cine earlier it would have saved me years of suffering, and I urge asy who may be in a similar condition to try these pills at once." 'You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail postpaid at 60 cents a box or six boxes for 02.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. There recently arrived at the Lon- don Zoo a Bell Bird from Brazil.

Ask for Minard's and take no other, Fine New Citizens for 1 Canada. I The immigration buildings at any 01 the Dominiott ports of entry pre. sent a curious scene of hustle and beetle shortly after the arrival of one of the giant ocean liners, and a wit, Hees is not likely to soon forget the commotion created .by the discharged emigrants. A vast meso of humanity surges through the galleries past the immigration officer and the various in- spectors, and once accepted for Cana. dean citizenship, men, women, and children of every kind, loaded down with baggage of every shape and form reels hither and thither making multi- tudinous Inquiries of everyone general- ly unacquainted with the next steps to be taken to further proceed on their journey. It is nether pleasant nor comfort- able to land friendless In a strange land. The hardened traveller feels this and more deeply those who set foot in a foreign land where customs, conditions, and possibly language dif- fer from those to wheel the emigrant has been accustomed from childhood, Then the petty worries incidental to travelling are intensified by the total unfamfllarlty on every hand, and each move is fraught with embarrass- ment. Yet each month thousands of potential Canadian eltizens are ar- riving at the Dominion's shores from the British Isles, France, Belgium, Holland and Scandinavia—people who have broken up homes and life-long ties at the promlee of the great new land, Into a whirl of unfamiliar sights and sounds, in a confusion of humanity and baggage, many unacquainted with the language they hear on every hand —thus, at the gateways of the Domin- ion, arrive the ancestors of the Cana- dians of to -morrow, First impressions are often linger. Ing; they are apt to have a consider- able bearing on future outlook, Realizing this and the expediency of rendering the utmost service to those Dominion builders -to -be, the Depart- ment of Colonization and Development of the Canadian Pacific Railway, in- terested among other progressive plumes, in the human development of the country, has appointed a coloniza- tion agent—a foster parent to emi- grants arriving on the company's boats. When a vessel steams into port he is there to go on board with the immigration OBcer—Capt. Andrew McDuff, veteran of two wars, versed In many languages, sympathetic, tact- ful, and schooled in the many sides of human nature. He is at the service of these new arrivals to assist with information and advice, He shay herds them from the boat to the wait- ing train, secures seating and sleep - Ing accommodation, overseas the checking and loading of baggage, does everything humanly possible in fact to ensure a safe and entire arrival at the many points of destination even to accompanying the train on the first part of its journey. It Is a great work, this fathering of the Dominion's citizen -to -be, not only temporarily accommodating, but im- parting the lasting impression to these strangers that they are welcome Newest of Summer Blouses 9439 9441 Embroidery neulgn No. 102r.

When Plants Are Dormant, Atter the period of growth in spring and summer there is a period of dor- roam in plants before the cold weather sots in, and if plants aro maintained artlticlally at a high tem- perature this dormant period persists. Exposure to cold Is needed to activate the plant for another period of growth, Perhaps the liberation of enzymes acts on the stored starches, cnnvert- ing them into sugars, or the •phenome- non may be due to a' Change in the permeability of the ce11-membrane.. Though normally the stemless required for a renewal of growth is supplied by cold, mechanical Injury or a period of drying may have the same effect. The process occurs independently in any exposed part of a plant, so that 1f one or two brunches of a plant be kept continually warm while the other is subjected to the usual winter chilling, the former will not develop on the re- turn of summer temperature, though the latter develops as usual. THE BEST MEDICINE FOR LITTLE ONES Thousands of mothers state posi- tively that Baby's Own Tablets are the best medicine they know of for little ones. Their experience has taught them that the Tablets always do Just what is claimed for them and that they can be given with perfect safety to children of all ages. Con- cerning them Mrs. Joseph Therrien, St. Gabriel de Brandon, Que., writes: "Baby's Own Tablets are the best medicine I know of for little ones. I thought I would lase my baby before trying the Tablets but they soon made him healthy and happy and now I would not be without them." The Tablets aro sold by medicine dealers or by mall at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont. A Golden City. The Mexioan city of Guanajuato, built near the oldest gold mixes in the country, was originally construct- ed of abodes made of the refuse of these mines. As the early processes of extraction were very imperfect, the walls and floors of these buildings were thus full of gold. Things would have continued thus for an indefinite time, and the inhabi- tants would have bean living yet in these valuable buildings, If the pass- age of a railway line near by had not necessitated the demolition of about 100 houses. • "SYRUP OF FIGS" CHILD'S LAXATIVE Look at tongue!

An amusing result of the lax dis- cipline that exists on soma of the ships belonging to tropical countries is related by an American naval of. flcer. It appeal that one of the Haitian gun -boats was lying in the harbor of Port-au-Prince. One day a' mess cook for some reason cleaned about a peck of knives and forks on the gun deck. He was suddenly called away, and so he stuck the mess pail, full of knives and fork, Into the muzzle of the big- gest gun and put the tampion in after it. About an hour afterward the ad - mita came aboard, and as the gun was. loaded with blank cartridge, the. sailors used it to fire a salute. It happened that the grid{ was aimed toward tho town, and almost point- blank at the Grand Betel. The guests were assembled on the porch to wit- ness the ceremonies when they were saluted with a rain of knives and torks, whtbh'stuck against the wooden Ovalis like porcupine quills into an nu - wary dog.

Gardening for City Schools. Gardening is systematically carried on by the public schools of many Canadian cities as a part of the ode- oational course. Dr. J. H. Putman, Senior Inspector for Ottawa publics schools, in the March number of the Agricultural Gazette, published by the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, describes the system under which this work is done in the Capital City. The school garden is referred to as a big class room for outdoor instruc- tion 1n plants and plant life. It has many of the possibilities in miniature of an experimental farm. It has to do with the composition and fertility of soils, with drainage, with seed germi- nation and with insect enemies of plant life. It shows in a way that can. not be questioned the effect upon plants of too much or too little sun- shine or moisture and the bad effects of weeds and the necessity of giving a plant plenty of room 1f we wish to secure a high state of development Dr. Putman points out that these things would mean nothing to city children if recited from books or told by teachers. These things taught through a garden where the children prepare the soil, sow the seeds, and care for the plants cannot be without good results. In addition to a central garden of one acre the Ottawa plan involves the organization of home garden olube, each representing a school. In the three years 1917-1849 about 1,000 pupils from second and third book classes received gardening instruction. The school board paid forty dollars to each teacher who managed a club garden. Every pupil member was re- quired to keep an accurate record of planting, cultivating and other active. ties. Tho aim is to grow everything possible from seed. Cold frames are found to be a valuable addition to the equipment. In the central garden, in- stead of giving pupils very small in- dividual plots, a plot 82 by 43 feet for vegetables and 16 by 20 feet for flowers is given to each class. This garden is having a permanent peren- nial border established which will give a succession of bloom as well as an opportunity to show- tho children what they may have In their own home gate dens.
