The greatest savants of every period have shade a study of old age, writes Dr, Charlotte \Vest, Elle Metclielk off, the fahroue Russian hateriologist, thought rte Maud the antidote in the Vulgarian lactic -acid bacillus. Latter' day investigators pin their faith on the ductless glauds. A. fuller knowledge of the remarkable little organs has only conte to us within recent years. Perhaps the most thoroughly .investi- gated is the thyroid gland, situated in tho throat, just below the "Adam's Apple;" insufficientdevelopment of which is responsible for many cases of retarding of mental and physical de- velopment; ,Such conditions as con- genital dwarfism, mental insufficiency and allied states, Improve as if by magic on administration of thyroid ex- tract, When the thyroid gland 1s normally active, the. body is more likely •to re- tain its youthful contour far into "ad- vanced life, Instead of being overbur- dened with superfluous weight, the result of imperfect metabolism, as is the rule after maturity is,reached. This accounts for the astonishing ef- fect of thyroid extract in cases of obesity that yield to 110 other form of treatment, New Era is Dawning. The pituitary body, another ductless gland that we know something about, 1s situated in the cranium. It also re- gulates growth but interferense with 1ts function produces an abnormal lengthening of the bones. In some cases it preduees a disease called acroluegoly in which there is an In - cream in the size and shape of some of the structures of the body with a gradual diminution of the vital powers. A now era in the interesting ques- tion of longevity• is dawning with a: more concrete conception of the func- tions of the ductless glands. Many conditions --• among them premature senility, the origin of which has been rbacure, are being cleared up, not only in the treatment, but in the prevention of the:e affections classed among the diseases of old age. For instance, arterio -sclerosis or -h'irdning of the arteries, a condition, exeeedingly common in males, has bee artificially produced in rabbits by tae adm)ristrttion of a product secret- ed by one of the hitherto mysterious deet;r:.•; glands. The ;:,.all beaushaped organs, "ad - t kava a 1n:eileed influence upon the : izle. Tbc;e is a rare disease of thea glands in which a white person reeembles en .Indian. In oven slight einieges of the adrenals, the skin loses Its hue of youth and health, becoming dark, "bilious," and pigmented. De- generacy of the thyroid glance also .af- fects the skin and its appendages— the hair and nails. Exhaustion of this gland results in all the evidences of premature decay. Regulators of the Body. The ductless glands are the regula- tors of the body. Since they are inter related, depending upon each other for the maintenance of the vital forces, it is plain that what affects one will In- fluence the attune. Wo have long known that. the :nein element in thyroid secretion is iodine. One way in which to enhance the ac- tion of the gland after passing into middle life, and so prolonging youth, is 'by feeding the system largely upon 511011 foods as cofltain iodine,also by taking minute doses of iodine daily. French were the first to throw lis,o upon the extraordinary role play- ed by the ductless glands as rejuvena- tors. Implantation of the intel•st)tal glands for purposes of regeneration, is not new. It was tried on animals in England over 150 years ago. With a more extended kuowledgo as to the no- ture of the secretions yielded by the 1i - Ler:sti1iai glands, we will probably be able to administer it, as we now do iodine or thyroid extract, and so main- tain the integrity of alt the vital forces far beyond throe spore years and ten. Courting on Stilts. A disastrous fire in the Department of Landes, in France, bas focused at- LentIon on the famous stilt -walkers of that district. Owing to the dampnoss of the soil and continuous floods, the people, mostly farmers and shepherds, spend the greater part of their lives on stilts, in the use of which they are expert.

J, MIDDL'ETON Provincial Board of Health, Odtario Dr, Mitlit!etori will he glad to answer questions on Pule! Health : tri- fars lllr0ugb Ibis 00100411, Address 1W1111 at the. Parliauheut Uldl.s,• Toronto, A few day» ago 0 letter reached me from a mother in the country, reading as follows: "Ohr baby, seven weelts old, hada rash from the heat, Weuld you kindly tell me what is best to do for it." This is a difficult question to answer by letter, and shows what Public Health officials have to deal with;. In the first place the gaeetlon should be answered by the fahnilyphy- sician. He is the one to visit the child and determine what the cause of the rash tney be. The mother may think it is caused by heat and she may be right, but •it is, better to have expert advice on the "matter. There are 1'ash- es due to seariet fever, incipient merteles andvarious other ailments that have to he taken into account, It is for reasons such as this that Public Health Education as far as Child Welfare is concerned, aims to impress on mothers the necessity of a thorough 'medical examination of their children regularly. Parents are too prone to diagnose complaints of children and label them this 'or that vrithout any scientific investigation whatsoever. For instance, it is appal- ing to think of the number of deaths of infants and young children from diphtheria whose mothers were firmly convinced that the sick children had merely a "sore throat" or tonsilitis. Over 63 per cent. of the deaths from diphtheria in Ontario last year were among childreh udder five years of age—that is, children of pre-school age who hadnot yet come under the supervision of school medical inspec- tion. Minor defects of all kinds, more- over, go unattended to, and become chronic because either the parent did not notice the defect in the child or. else did not regard' it as aiiything. serious. The idea of callirsg in a doctor is only as a last resort with some people, in fact, you will sometimes hear the expression "I don't think he is sick enough to send for a doctor." The baby is not a toy or a plaything, but a great responsibility, Its health,, growth and happiness dependlargely upon you=the parent. Therefore you must avoid infection by keepingthe baby away from anyone who is not perfectly well. What seems like a cold in the bead may turn out to be measles or some other disease. Remember that measles and whooping -cough are seri- ous diseases for young ohildren. The older a child is when he comes down with them, the less is the danger of fatal results. The germs of disease enter by way of the mouth. Keep playthings and comforters, and every- thing that has not been thoroughly cleaned out of the baby's mouth, Do not let the baby crawl around on a dirty floor or dusty target. Place him on a clean sheet or blanket. Flies carry disease to babies. Screen the baby's room. Keep flies away from the baby and his food at all times.. Cover the crib or carriage with netting to keep out the flies and mosquitoes. A healthy, good-tempered baby is one of the greatest joys of life. Wherever it goes, sunshine radiates from its presence and fills the most drab and uninteresting situations will Allies and good-fsllowellip, A few evenings ago I was in a train coaling to Toronto from Blackwater Junction and the compartment was filled with the ordinary crowd of tired, sleepy in- dividuals one sees travelling at night after a long journey: Yawning, gaz- ing listlessly at the notice prohibiting spitting in the train, or looking out into the dark of evening, everybody seemed to be ioolcil•t on life as a commonplace, without •a thrill, But into the train same a young man wear- ing the retttlmed button, filed with hini were his wife and 'baby. That charm- ing little mortal about ilfteee months old was soon the 'centre of idterest. Hardly had its mother got seated when it wheeled round in her arms and grabbed a newspaper which a man was listlessly reading in the seat be- hind, Instantly the man was alert with kindly interest. Not wanting to have the reader disturbed, the mother moved over to the seat facing, but a ruddy -complexioned old fellow was the next victim. The little tot promptly took hold of his ear and the weather- beaten stranger turned round startled. But when he saw that laughing little countenance he instantly reached over his horny hand and shook baby's outstretched palm, The 'child then noticed a lady across the aisle eating an orange and glued its eyes or, tee attractive fruit. With the mother's permission the lady gave a section of the orange to the child, and to shot, its appreciation, the little one allowed itself to be lifted on to the lady's knee, All the time the baby was smiling and waving its hands at nearby people in the compartment, with the result that everybody was wreathed in smiles. That baby was a tonic—a genial travelling companion not only to its parents, but to every strmlgor it met along the way. Its father re- marked to me that the baby was breast-fed from birth till it was over nine months old, which was very ob- vious. To me, in`erested in: the Welfare of Children, my admiration of this youngster was associated with a feel- ing of regret—regret that there should not be more of these healthy, happy babies in this Province of On- tario. They are optimists from birth and will grow to healthy men and women. How often we see the other extreme, the ill -nourished, pale and crying baby, handicapped in health from the moment it begins its earthly existence. It is a sorry spectacle and there is no need for many of these weaklings, if the mothers only knew and practiced mothercraft, particular- ly the great essential: breast feeding, coupled with proper care of the child during the early months and years of life. In the whole field of Child Wel- fare there is no more important first principle than this—having the child fed at the mother's breast. It is a slogan that should .be preached from the lhousetops, from the pulpit and from every newspaper and avenue of publicity in this country. Obstructed Vision.

WOULD NOT BE WITHOUT MIS OWN TABLETS Mrs. W. Beesley, Mille Roche, Ont., writes: "I have used Baby's Own Tab- lets for the past eight months and would not be without then'. I used thein for indigestion and teething and my baby is cutting his teeth without any trouble whatever. I can highly recommend the Tablets to other moth- ers." What Mrs. Beesley says thous- ands of other mothers say. The Tab- lets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach, thus driving out consti- pation and indigestion and making teething easy. They are sold by medi- cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. The Cloud. To be the cloud for which men pray When earth is parched by high sun's ray; To be a breath of cooling breeze When cities choke for wind of seas; To be a dew on ripening grass When hot days o'er the meadows pass It must be flnealt must be sweet, To heal the earth of withering heat! To be a song when silence seems A pain, an ache, a void of dreams; To be a fragrance and perfume When lives are longing for a bloom; To be a kiss, a hug, a smile That hearts have hungered for the while— It must be fine to serve some end Of sweetness for a human friend! To be a star when night is dark; To be a lyric when the lark Has flown to other haunts of life; To be a memory in some heart That has grown weary of the strife— It must be fine, 0 cloud, like thee To bring the cool breath of the sea; Or rose, to graoe with beauty those Whose lives are empty of the rose! Good Spirits. There are three sorts of spirits—al- coholic, ghosts, and those that are a part of yourself. They are a health barometer,and indicate your state, physically and mentally. Any medical man would corroborate the statement that it is unwise, if not dangerous, to get in low spirits, and as various causes produce that effect, it is as well to know what those causes are, and counter them. Forget not that what we call "spirits" is really our vitality, the life principle. We feeldepressed in spirits on a wet day because the air is laden with va- por, and has proportionately less ogy- gen 01 it. The air, too, ie lighter than usual, and does not balance the air in our bodies. Hence the depression. The result is that we work with dull- tufty and less efficiency, The remedy is to get out of doom and double the normal rate of breath, ing, That, as is evident, will pump more oxygen into the system, and the benefit is immediate. The "life" of the depression can be felt. And laugh! Laughter stirs up the whole system and releases stored ner- vous power or vitality. It may be urged that one cannot laugh if there is nothing to laugh at; but, as a matter t of fact, a torsed laugh will soon pro- t gress to a natural one. Try, You will get amused at yourself, and up will bound your spirits. Finally, add to the quicker breath- ing and tits laughter, a loosening of your clothing. Undo neck and wrist- bands and the lilts. That's the last little touch. As the proof of 111e pud- ding is In the •eating try this threefold 10uhecly the next time you are depress- ed frau any cause, and you will tend it a sure cure.

The origin of national slanders is a mystery. Someone starts them, others continue them, and the rest of us ac- cept then as Gospel, and give them further currency. Englishmen are alleged to be super - shy and reserved, Their life on an is- land is said to be responsible. Rub- bish! They have been, and are, the biggest travellers of all the nations. If Englishmen were shy and reserved they wouldn't have been the pioneers M colonization, Empire -building, con- quest, commerce, and the like. • As a matter of fact, the average Englishman is super -sociable, and if any proof of that is needed it is to be found in the fact that England is, par excellence, the home of sport. Sport demands sociability. Imagine a tennis boom among a "super -shy, reserved" people! Scotsmen are alleged to be mean— unco' careful wi' til bawbees. Thous- ands of jokes have been built up on that slander. But, as a hatter of fact, the Scot, as all who, have had to do with him know, is extraordinarily generous and kind-hearted. Ask the treasurer of any hospital! There's the test. The Irish are dourly slandered. They are alleged to be a gay, witty race, care -fee and careless. This is a slander. The Irish are a sad people. All their beautiful melodies are in a minor key. "Irish humor" doesn't really exist. The Irish are really in- tensely serious. And as to being "careless," it is a fact that they are thrifty, clean, and super -moral. The French are supposed to be ir- responsible and excitable. An obvious slander, which the Great War killed— •Or ought to have killed. Then there is the "wily, unspeak- able" Turk. For a fact, he is about as s.fmple as they make 'em! The Dutch are alleged to be "stolid," and all that the term implies. It's a slan- der, for the Dutch are very much all there! The tale might be continued, but the result would be the same, whether dealing with the "cute" Yan- kee, an kee, the "emotional" Welshman, the "treacherous" Spaniard, or the "gay" Italian. Slanders all! Lifeboat Made of Basket - Work. A basket -work lifeboat seems very frail and delicate for the hard work of getting through rough seas to a ship in distress, yet a boat of this type has Just been invented, and 1t Is claimed that it gives greater safety than the usual kind. The wooden framework of the boat is covered with a cork lining, and over that is laid an outer cover of woven; crate. It Is said that the new boat 11c.ata better than the bouts now in use, and that it is impossible for it to sink. The basket lifeboat is so light and springy that it is less nicely to be ' crushed by swinging against the side' of a ship or by the buffeting of the 1 waves.

Who can enjoy the landscape with- out owning the land. Who can face poverty and misfor- tune with cheerfulness and courage.
