Pagans the Polos still; call then)!
Pagans, because.10g after the other
mations had accepted Christianity,
they still worshiped their ancient god,
Thunder. Pagans, because, even. to•
•day,,tlte peasants still hold thunder in
awe; :till believe, almost unconscious-
ly, that the god of storm le on their
side,
In one of the skirul:shee fought late-
ly against Zellgowsklforty Lithuani•
ons defeated two hundred Poles. Not
because the Poles are not great fight-
ers, but it was a night of frightful
storm; the thunder rolled its mighty
artillery through the lowering skies,
and the Poles knew that the "pagans,"
the Lithuanians, would llght like de-
mons with their god to help them. 8o:
they ran.
It's like a Graustark story, the story
of this youngest of the world's repub-
lics!
An ancient people, whose begin
-
mings are lost In the midst of time.
Always known as a free and demo-
.cratic people. Governed of old by the
;grand dukes, but governed as a liber-
ty loviug people, proud and soldierly.
And then, back in the middle of the
fourteenth century, one of the grand
dukes married a Polish princess. And
Poland claimed Lithuania for the son
!of the match, Grear'ilghting ensued,
but the Lithuanians wore outnumber -
'ed a bundred to one, and Poland an-
nexed them,
Unquenchable Spirit,^
Five hundred years ago! Five hun-
dred year of oppression and slavery
—five hundred years during which Po-
land first, then Russia, sought to
.strangle their national being, extin-
guish their language, break their
spirit; five hundred years during
which each. Lithuanian mother taught
her children in secret the beloved
tongue; taught them to read in smug -
glad and hidden books the great
etories of their past; whispered to
them: "Soon, perhaps, our freedom
may come again. You, my son, may
help to free us."
Always there were plans and hopes,
secret organizations working in the
dark, men who tried to weld the vari-
ous factions into one united whole.
Atter the Russian revolution of 1904-
'06 there. was a great uprising. But
the Grin was not yet.
Then came the great war. Lithu-
ania, between the two autocracies,
Russia and Germany, lay helpless.
Soldiers overran her, her men were
taken into the Russian armies, her
people were impoverished. And then
Russia toll sprawling.
Instantly all over Lithuania the na-
tional spirit named to life. Led by
the great Smetona, Lithuania's Duke
of Wellington, it man beloved and
trusted, of great creative force, able
to 'bring every faction, every religious
body, into one united whole, a man
capable of calling together the best
01 the nation to help foram a constitu-
tion—led by this man, Lithuania gatlt-
ered herself together and declared her
Independence,
The Long -Awaited Day.
It was in September, 1917, that
Lithuania formed a provisional gov
ernnnent, appointing a council known
as the Taryba, with Smetona at the
head, to get the country into shape
for popular rule. In February et the
following year came tate declaration.
of independence. In April, 1920, the
prelimivarlea being completed, a gen-
eral election was held to choose Presi-
dent and /eau:1bly, to confirm the con-
stitution, to come before the world as
a free country.
And that election was the greatest
day Lithuania had ever known!.
It was the day that had been await-
ed for 600 years. And 95 per cent. of
..-rho people turned out to cast their
vete.
All the time, while the government
was- being formed and the nation
uniting, war was going on. The Ger-
mans
erpians had fled, but the Bolshevikt had
come, And atter the 1:3aishevike the
Poles. Lithuania had no supplies, but
guns and titles she- did have, captured
from .Ute Germans, bought by looney
sent in by Lithumneans in other parts
of the world. The women all over the
land set to work to split and weave, to
make uniforms for their men. 1]ue.

these officials have been Held recent-
ly in various rural districts, with .a
view to obtaining medical and nurs-
ing inspection throughout the schools
of their townships.
As educational work is what is
needed at the outset, a nurse will first
of all spend some time in each dis-
trict where medical inspection of
schoolsis to be inaugurated... She will
get acquainted wibh the trustees,
members of the Women's Institute,
local doctors, newspaper proprietor,
clergy and prominent citizens general-
ly, and outline the work that is plan-
ned. Certainly the comparative
healthiness of the country, with pure
air and facilities - for enjoying the
great out-of-door amid natural sur-
rounding's, does not make the need for
continual inspection and supervision
as pressing as in the city, However,
a systematic scheme for medical in-
spection and nursing of school chil-
dren is very necessary, even in coun-
try districts far removed from any
great centre of population. Ailments
found among city -bred children are
also prevalent to an even greater de-
gree in rural schools, owing to the
leek of "skilled attention. These ail-
ments include; defective vision, de-
fective hearing, defective teeth, defec-
tive nesal breathing, hypertrophied or
diseased: tonsils, defective nutrition,
heart disease, lung troubles, nervous
diseases, orthopedic defects, skin and
scalp conditions.
Of all these defects taken together,
medical and nursing attention has
corrected about sixty per cent., and
a large per cent, of the remainder
could' Have been corrected before they
became chronic, had the children be-

mother how to diet and deal with

of the child; clinics to loakmfter both

operation in bringing up the baby
through the critical first years of life;

by a medical inspection of young boys

directly or indirectly traced to defec-
tive teeth it would be difficult as yet
to estimate, but invesigation along
this lino is proceeding,
It is certain, however, that nutri-
tional and digestive defects as well as
serious secondary disease in other
parts of the body, are in a great many
eases the result of decayed teeth. Ob-
servers state that dental caries (tooth
decay) is present in progressive
stages in themouths of ninety-five
per cent, of our children. Good teeth
as a rule bring about good digestion,
and this in turn develoPs good health.
But good health is not long maintained
if the child is not 'supplied with nour-
ishing food in adequate amounts. In
tine connection the ,Department of
Education in soma countries like Eng-
land, providesmeals for sohool c'hi1-
dren, and recover the cost from the
parent, where possible. Where this
provision is made at the schools, the
teachers often assist in the cooking,
and the elder girls are also encouraged
to do so; the latter thus receive some
of the instruction in simple cooking
which is so necessary,
On first thoughts It would seem
there would be little need for these
measures in a land of plenty such as
Canada. But it has been found in the
rural districts especially that many
of the children coming some distance
to school bring dold lunches and eat
them under somewhat unhygienic sur-
roundings. To obviate this, the On-
tario Department of Education in
many districts provides hot punches at
the mid-day recess, and supervises the
children while eating. Not only do
the youngsters thus get the benefit of
'hot, welt -cooked food during school
hours, but they are early taught the
advantages of hygienic principles at
the table, and these youthful impres-
sions very often remain through life.
This combined scheme of medical
and dental inspection, systematically
conducted, cannot fail to be an im-
mense boon to children of all ages.
It wile make the next generation
stronger and more free from physical
defects than any preceding one, and
My the foundations for a race of
supermen and superwomen in genera-
tions to come.
Poppies.
In my garden is a poppy bed,
Filled with blossoms of a brilliant red;
As in the breeze nods each drowsy
head,
They softly sigh.
Bearing a message from a distant land,
Bringing a memory of a noble band
Who died for freedom in a valiant
stand,
R'here still they Ile.
Each little flower some to tell of one
Who lost his life ere it had quite be-
gun,
And now is sleeping 'math a faroff
sun,
With poppies nigh.
May nothing ever near their peaceful
sleep,
As nodding poppies the long vigil keep.
Great he the harvest of love they shall
reap
In the by-and-by.

gay hues in factories and workshops

Squirrel as Tree Planter.
A tame squirrel, kept as a house
pat and allowed liberty from its cage,
will, if supplied with nuts, bury them
In the most curious places. It will
hide them in people's pockets or even
Inside their collars.
It 1s evident that, in a state of na-
ture, squirrels are not able to keep
track of many of the nuts they bury in
odd spots. Thanks to this fact, they
are quite useful in helping to seed
burned or logged areas in some parts
of the country,
This fact has been particularly
noted in the States of Oregon and
Washington, where chipmunks are
giving important assistance In .the
business of re-establishing forests of
the Douglas fir. They collect the
seeds from the fir cones, and many of
those they bury and forget produce
young trees. Mice do much good work
of the same kind,

Is shown by the case of Mrs. Norman
Selfrfed, West Montrose, Ont., who
says; " "It would be hard for me to
overstate the benefit I have derived
from the use of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, Before I began taking the pills
I was very nervous, weak and run
down- I could hardly do my house-
work, and as there is a great deal of
work to do about a home on a farm,
I felt very much discouraged. One
day while reading a newspaper 1 saw
an advertisement of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills and decided to give them a
trial. I could notice beneficial effects
after taking a box of the pills, and by
the time I had taken a few boxes, I
could again do my work with ease,
was no longer weak or nervous, slept
well at night, and awoke in the morn-
ing feeling well and strong. I ant
happy to say that tate pills so greatly
benefitted me."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by
all dealers in medicine or will be sent

Saving Big Trees.
A public-spirited organization call-
ing itself the "Save the Redwoods
League," is at the present time mak-
ing gt'eet efforts to secure the preser-
vation of some of the giant trees in
California, which are in a way the
most interesting 05 created things.
They are by far the most ancient
of living things. Many of these trees
were well grown and flourishing dur-
ing
uring the lifetime of Christ. Some of
them were living when King Solomon
reigned in Jerusalem, when the pyra-
mids were built and when Babylon
was at the height of its glory and
power. Their years can be counted by
their rings of annual growth.
Unfortunately, nearly all of the,sur-
viving giant redwoods are on land bee
lengths to private owners, most of
whom are disposed to log them off, re-
garding their money value as of maga
importance than any sentimental con-
siderations attaching to them. The
league hasundertaken to obtain pos-
session of some of the tracts by pur-
chase.
Many of the giant 'trees are more
than 800, feet tall. "Old Goliath,"
which was blown down in a storm a
few years ago, had a circumference of
more than 100 feet at the base, and
one of Its limbs was eleven feet In
diameter, The "Father of the Forest,"
now Iying, prone, has had its heart
eaten out by fire, so that one can ride
erect on horseheck through its trunk
for a distance of eighty-one feet.
When standing it was more than 100
feet In height. The "Mother of the
Forest," long ago stripped of Its bark,
measures (without the bark) forty t
three and a half feet 3n girth seventy
feet from the ground. It is estimated t
to contain 527,000' feet of sound inch e

—Henry YanDyl[e,
Father and Son.
We will hazard the assertion that
by far the greater number of men
whose lives are useful, fruitful and
reasonably happy had fathers wle
made friends of their boys, and the
the greater number of men whos
lives are wasted or evil had father
who never made friends of their boys
It is from the father the boy .shout
get his first lessons fu: good humor
sportsmanship, generosity, good fel
lowship, perseverance, industry—in
deed, in all the qualities that shoal
eventually enable him to bear Weasel
as he should in the rough-and-tumbl
of lite. From the mother comes usual
ly the fostering of the gentler an
more spiritual side of his nature; bn
that outgrowth is likely to be arrest
ed and may even die unless it is ac
companied by growth of the manila
virtues. Those may be fostered 1
school, by teachers and by associate)
with other boys; but there Ls no In
fluence so potent in nourishing them
in shaping the boy's character as tha
of the father who makes a friend o
his son.
Paternity implies nearly always
some measure of affection, but it does
not always imply some measure of
friendship. There are many fathers in
the world who have a kinder and more
tender feeling for their boys when
they are away from them than when
they see them. The nervous, irritable
father whose high-spirited son 1s a
source of annoyance rather than of
pleasure, the overworked father who
comes home too tired to have any zest 1
for play, the preoccupied father who'.
cannot shake off his problems and
troubles, the self-indulgent father who
regards his home as a sanctuary for
himself and wants only to be let alone
with his newspaper, his magazine and
his pipe—none ot them is by way of
cultivating his boy's friendship. None
of them is meeting in the proper spirit
the responsibilities of parenthoad—
aven though they may all be taking
proper measures for the health and
schooling of their children.
Friendship requires a certain
amount of effort, a certain amount of
self-sacrifice, yielding frequently your
awn desires to those of the person
that you befriend. The father who
reads aloud to his boys and discusses
with them the books that they read,
who helps them with their lessons,
who teaches them the use of tools,
the names of trees and flowers and
birds, who mattes holidays and Sun-
days all occasion for giving pleasure;
to them rather than for seeking it for'
himself, serves not only his sons but
his country.

Yap Money.
The island of Yap is noted, among
other things, for having the most ex-
raordinary currency in the world.
Besides the ordinary shell money
here Is a stone coinage, consisting of
alcite or limestone disks that vary
rem six inches to twelve feet in diam-
ter. The larger stones, which are
rather tokens than money, are piled
p round the chief's treasure house
and seldom change hands In the trans-
actions in which they figure, though
he ownership changes. One huge ref,
r stone coin, was lost in a storm 1
while being ferried from one place to
nether, but is still regarded as valid
honey and has been used many times
a medium of trade, although it Iles'
at the bottom of the sea, Evidently
here something to be learned from
Yap, To lose your coney and still have
the use of it appeals even to a dull
ancy; and life could hardly grow

d It takes extremes—either of adver-
t sity or of prosperity—to bring out the
real character. We find certain hien
who have inherited preposterously
d large sums of money going all to

ardship. Quite as bad as to be prodi

Character Is not to be simulated.
' Now and again one encounters the
man who thinks he can go to the
stores and buy the makings of a
gentleman. The swagger outfit of ex-
! teasels will not do-. It remains obvi-
1 ously an outlet, merely the external
raiment, entirely separable from the
substance and the spirit of a man.
I How amazing is the difference be-
tween two that are fashioned criginal-
ly in God's image and of the sane
clay! One breathes benignity and the
other is malign, One is spiritual, the
other is of the earth earthly, One has
only commonplace ideas and a torpid
imagination, the other abounds in
bright and delicate fancies and a
quick and humorous sympathy, so that
the association is a pleasure all too
brief and rare.
To keep a character worthy of one's
own respect implies self-control, Nor
will the respect of others be won if
we have reason to despise ourselves.
