Every newspaper one lifts has an article on health prominently displayed. Some- times, indeed, the health aritclo is so impressive that it occupies a place on the front page. This is as it should be, for not until the public are arous- ed to the need of Health wont being done, will anything of great import- ance be accomplished. One reason for this, is lack of funds. Governments and Members of Governments after all only reflects the wishes of the people. If there is no public senti- ment behind the move for health pro- motion, little will be done.' But if the people demand it, if they show un- mistakable signs that they appreciate the value of health work m every community, then great results can be looked for. Slowly but surely the idea is being disseminated that disease prevention is possible in very many instances, where hitherto the idea was held that it was something that just had to Klttg s Scout Ernest Xing of the 60th come something that was more or i less an act of God.

In old Saxon marriages the bride's father handed the bridegroom the bride's shoe and he touched her with it, on the forehead In token of author- ity. school children. This is especially ef- fecive, as the young mind is suscep- tible to new ideas' and impressions, not like the preformed, set potions, prejudices and convictions of later life. Another matter of education is for parents to realize the danger of sore throat in a little child and the grave possibility of it being diphtheria or again to know that physical de- fects in young Children can be to a large extent corrected before the con- dltion becomes chronic or does per- manent injury. Such conditions in- clude decaying teeth and diseased tonsils, adenoids, in short some focus of infection that persistently poisons the system and results in rheumatism or heart disease of childhood or later life. Through publicity the lay mind is kept in touch with the medical world, statistics are provided for publication showing any increase or decrease in certain prevalent diseases, especially those of a seasonal. and communicable nature. The public is also kept in- formed of any new advances in medi- cal science, and of the rules and regu- lations pertaining to quarantine, how to keep well, and the value of periodic physical examination. By immuniza- tion disease prevention can be brought about through the administration of such agencies as anti -typhoid serum, toxin antitoxin for diphtheria, the Pasteur treatment for rabies and vac- cination for smallpox. • Health propa- ganda needs more and more to be varied and up to date in its mode of presentation, so as to attract the at- tention of as large a number of people as possible, and help to prevent dis- ease, and bring about a higher stan- dard of health for all concerned: SATISFIED MOTHERS the sports, Ane Scout's Good Turn.

PALE, WAN CHEEKS AND DULL EYES Is Proof That, the Blood is Thin and Impure. It is the blood that gives color to the cheeks and lips; as well as bright- ness to the eyes. If your blood gets thin the color will fade and the eyes grow dim. By the time this happens You will notice that you tire easily and are subject to headaches and backaches, for the blood goes every- where and the entire system feels the effects when It becomes thin. Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills contain the elements necessary to enrich the blood, and this better blood strengtbens the nerves and all the organs of the body, brings a glow of health to the cheeks, bright- ness to the eyes and a general feeling of renewed health and strength. Miss Florence Johnson, Stratford, Ont., who has proved the value of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills in cases of this kind, says:—"A few years ago I was great- ly run down; my blood was very poor and my nervous system in bad shape. The doctor said my condition was due td improper diet and lack of fresh air. I then commenced eating the food he advised and went out daily for a walk. I did not improve, however, and was much discouraged. A friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I lost no time in getting a supply and can truthfully say that when I had finished the first box I could 'note an improvement. From then on the pro- gress was steady. My complexion, ivhich had been pale and sallow, be- gan to take on a healthy glow, I Pelt- a great deal stronger and my appetite became normal, and goon my health was felly restored. Before using Dr. Williams' Pink Pllis I did not know. anything about their wonderful quali- ties, but now I recommend them to all suffering from similar ailments."

Have you ever wondered how some of the queer words and expressions we use to -day first came Into the lang- uage? The expression "Raining cats and dogs" originated In the days when sea- men 'used to refer to . waves on the water before a storm, us "cat'spaws," we this!)dog has always boen regard- ed in rthern mythology as sym- bolic of wind. Consequently, when a heavy rainstorm was occompanied by high winds, sailors would say "it was coming down cats and dogs," We still use the expression "big wig," although these articles are a fashion of the past. In other days. however, a person's importance was judged by the size of the wig he wore, and therefore the bighest in the land were known to the less fortunate as "big wigs." • ' Pin.money" is an expression that serves to remind us of the days when pins were expensive, and husbands al- lowed their wives special sums for their purchase, Later on the expres- sion was applied to a wife's pocket - money. Another word that has an interest- ing origin is "handicap." This is prob- ably derived from "hand In the cap," as in former times it was the custom to draw lots from a hat or cap. BETTER GREEN TEA IMPORTED. Many think that those who drink Green Tea are more video' Judges of quality than those who drink black. Such would seem to be the case, be- cause some years ago great quantities of poor quality Japan and China Green Teas were brought auto Canada. The demand for this type of tea soon fell off. Now, however, the much finer quality of India and Ceylon Greens, imported mostly by the Salado Tea Company, has sharply revived the de- mand by those who enjoy the distinc- tive flavor of Green Tea, Lessons in "Curtsies" for Presentation at Court.

Shabby But Precious. Dr. Truman, Queen Victoria's den- tist, was a gentleman of alert mind and eccentric habits. He invented an insulated covering for the wires of the submarine cable and made a consider- able fortune therefrom,' He was an enthusiastic collector of rare books and prints; that hobby was the chief JOY of his later years. He was not penurious, but he liked old clothes; and in his old age his at- tachment to garments fit only for the rag bag became the despair of bis household. The most .precious and shabbiest article of his attire was an ancient silk hat. He never wore any other kind of hat, and he had worn the same one for untold years. "Attempts were made e.t his home to get rid of it," records a recent writer, Mr. W. T. Spencer, in a volume of reminiscences, "but he always had the hat repaired. So many repairs were made on it that if you examined it closely you had more difficulty in recognizing the original silk than in recognizing the grafted portions. "One day when he was taking a bath in his house --the tub was of the old- fashioned marble type—he forgot to turn the water off, and it ran over the edge and leaked through the floor. Immediately underneath was the hall, and on the hall table lay that sill: hat of his upside down as he had placed it there. When the bath overflowed the water dripped into the hall and right into the hat! "The hat became a bucket, filling rapidly before the leak was discover- ed, and by that time, as the household were overjoyed to see, the silk hat was bulging woefully. "Surely he'll not be able to wear that old thing again!" they thought. But they reckoned without their mas- ter. " 'Even now I've bad it done up!' he said to me as he restated the adven- ture. And, sure enough, it was on his head. "The very last time I sae- Dr. Tru- man (he died in 1900) he was still wearing the same old silk bat."
