HEALTH EDUCATION

directly or indirectly. With a little
thought one can understand what a
wide subject child welfare is, It goes
back to the beginning of things and
takes into consideration the health of
the parents as well as of the children.
There is something in heredity. As a
child often inherits the looks and
physical appearance of the parents,
SO it inherits some of their health
characteristics and their freedom
from or susceptibility to certain dis-
ease or weaknesses. Child welfare feeding is difficult to carry on success -

feeding an infant is by nature's way,

One of the most important features
of child welfare work is the reduction

Canada, of infants under one year of

WOMAN'S HEALTH
WHEN FORTY-FIVE
A Critical Period When Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills Are a Real
Blessing.
At special periods a woman needs a
medicine to regulate her blood supply,
or her life will be a round of pain and
suffering. It is at such times that Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills are worth their
weight in gold, for they make the new
rich blood thatbanisb.es the symptoms
of distress that only women know.
The better blood that comes with .the
use of these pills strengthens every
vital organ and brings womanly
health and happiness, This is fully
proved by the case of lira. G. Wit-
thuhu, Arcola, Sask., who says:—"I
am one of the many for whom Dr,
Williams' Pink Pills have done won-
ders. About three years ago I was so
weak that I could not do my house-
work, or even go about without feel -

gested that an operation was the only

EASY TRICKS
The Disappee.ring Tumbler
This Ns a favorite trick with sew
oral 'professional magiclana. If you
will practice It, you will discover
that It mill make a veritable settea-
tion when you perform It. It is per.
formed while the performer Is seat-
ed at the dinner table.
A coin is borrowed and marked
and is placed on the table in front
of -the performer. A tumbler is in-
verted over the coin. A ebeet of
newepapar is placed over the tum-
bler and is moulded to its shape.
The performer makes a few mystic
passes over the hidden tumbler and
lifts it, seemingly aurprlsed to dis-
cover that the Coln has not van-
ished. He repeats the perform-
ance. Againthe coin does not
vanish,
"This Uma it has got to go!" he
exolainia, "One! Two! Three!
Go!" As be says "go" he strikes
the tumbler with his open palm.
No harm is done, however, for the
paper collapsed. The tumbler has
vaaiebed! The coin is still there
—its mission being merely to mis-
lead the spectators as to the pur-
pose of the trick.
The secret is almple, The sec-
ond time he lifted the tumbler all
eyes were on the coin. The ma.
gieian took advantage of this to
let the tumbler slip out of the pa-
per into his lap. The moulded pa-
per, holding the form of the 'tum-
bler, looks exactly as it did and
the absence of the glass is: not
suspected. The magician makes a
sort of runway of his legs and lets
the tumbler slide, noiselessly to the
floor. When he strikes the paper,
he gives the tumbler a shove with
his foot so that 'when it is die -
covered it will be as far away from
Ulm as possible.

Mexico is often referred to as the
"storehouse of the world" because of
the great fertility of its soli and its
almost inexhaustible natural re-

Storms in Music.
Although music is not first and
foremost a descriptive art, certain
passages echo the moods of Nature as
they appeal to the composer.
Among classical composers, Handel
Included the "hailstone" chorus In
"Israel in Egypt." More famous is the
thunderstorm in Beethoven's "Pastoral
Symphony," where at least four dif-
ferent incidents falthfully portray not
only the first drops of rain and the
distant thunder, but all the feelinge
of depression and apprehension they
inspire.
Beethoven employs. the piccolo to
depict the whistling 01'the wind. This
instrument la used for the same tour -
Pose by Wagner in "The Flying Dutch-:
man." One of the finest storms in
music is that depicted in the prelude
to Wagner's "Valkyrie." The ata°•
oath scale played in the bass by the
etrings gives the dull monotony of the
pouring rain, while the other Instru-
ments join in as the storm rises to its
climax with a•l'ong. roll of thunder on
the kettledrums.
Both Chopin and Debussy have re.
corded their impressions of a rainy
day in pianoforte .music: the former
in the "Raindrop" Prelude, the latter
in "A Garden In the Rain.". Debussy
has likewise given us his idea of antl-
cyclonic weather in summer in that
dreamy- work, "Phe Afternoon of a
Faun," Even Wuguer deserted his
atorms and tempests on occasion, In
the "Valkyrie" prelude he deptoted the
storm tearing through the forest, but
in the second act of "Siegfried" he re-
presented, with the aid of the plceolo
and violins In tremolo, the gentle
breeze soughing in the trees on a flue
