"Of themselvea, these small matters are unimportant, but the habit of close observation is important; it has led many to success, and the lack of it has,' led many to failure." The children were silent until Mr. Ward took up his evening paper. Burt whispered to his sister, "How many of his questions can you answer? L can't answer any of them." "I can't now," Ella whispered back, "but T am going to find out all of the answers," "We can learn about the sheep and the cow right away," said Butt eager- ly. "And we can find out about the watch, too," answered Ella. "Let's make out a list." I should .like to get the encyclo- paedia and find something hard' to ask him; said Burt—"but :he said 'about familiar s objects' "—Youth's Companion. "Have youseen the new moon this evening?" said -Grandpa Ward, as he came in where the children were play- ing.. "It is a mere rim of light''' "Where is it?" asked Ella eagerly. "Where is it?" repeated her grand- father. "It is Where it usually is when it's new.' -Suppose you look it up?" Outdoors the children ran, and 'they returned presently with, the statement that it was "up over the stable," which was true enough, but which Burt said was in the west. After their grandfather had ex- plained what was meant by the ex- pression "horns of the moon," he ask- ed which way they pointed. That madeanother trip of inspec- tion necessary. When the children came back, Grandpa Ward asked whe- ther the horns of the moon always pointed in the same direction. "I suppose so," Burt replied. "You do not seem very positive about the regular habits of a long- time acquaintance," said Mr. Ward, with a twinkle in his eye. "Why not look the matter up? You do not want to belong to that great class that have eye`&. that see not, do you?" "I hope not," said Burt. "Let me ask you about a few com, mon things. How many seed cells are there in an apple?. Which way do the seeds point, toward the stem or to- ward the blow? How does a sheep lie down and get up, like a cow, or like a horse?" "0 grandpa!" cried the children in dismay. NERVODU CHILDREN Hard Study and Too little exercise Leads to St.. Vitus Dance, • There is much criticism of modern educational methods that require too inuoh work of school children, allow- kets in Great Britain, the West In- dies, and the American Atlantic Coast States, they expect a business which will tax all their available faeilities. In the meantime, it is shown that one mill in Vancouyer is working over- time on new orders, which will keep price trouble is being Sought in plans for the organizing of a central selling agency, similar to that operating in the State of. Washington. The mill mon on the coast say that stooks of lumber all over the world are badly in need of new supplies. If from the confidence engendered by the harvesting of a good crop, build- ing resumes its former activity in Prairie Provinces, and vesselsare able to clear to newly developed mar- ing them too little time for play and preventingauilicient out-of-door exer- cise, When the study of music or'any other accomplishment, with the neces- eery practice, is added the strain, is• increased. Under these conditions the blood .becomes impoverished and fails to, nourish the nerves. The child be- it bust fora considerable period, and other lumber men are in daily expec- tation of orders for largo quantities of building materials' for reconstruc- tion in Europe. There are evidences that the clear spruce of British Col- umbia is meeting with/aver for the construction of aeroplanes,. and sev- eral small supplies have been deliv- ered. The credit situation in the Province is improving, and it seems to be the general opinion that obligations have been well met when conditions are considered. Lumbermen report that their collections are satisfactory. The weaker dealers are not in the market to any extent,. and the stronger firms are able to meet demands made upon them. Export 'lumber ie' sold on a basis of cash on delivery. The Department of. Agriculture for British Columbia,' reports by wire that the agricultural situation is dis- tinctly encouraging, and that weather conditions are favorable for growth., Increases are reported.in land'clear- ing, and in the areas devoted to crops of all kinds. The profits of poultry raising have been reduced to some ex- tent owing to the high price. of grain, but there has been satisfactory in- crease in dairying. In small fruits there is a fair crop. . The selling or- ganizations have been improved, and prices have been excellent so far. Truck farming is increasing, and the British Columbia produce is largely displacing imports from the United. States. The prices for beef, pork and mutton are good and likely to so con- tinue. There is a satisfactory in- crease in hog raising. The establish- ment of public markets is proving very satisfactory, and is reducing the cost of living. Unskilled labor at low prices is plentiful; skilled labor is difficult to obtain, and fairly good prices are paid. The report adds that comparatively little grain will be im- ported from the Prairie Provinces this year on account of the larger area sown. The tendency appears to be for city people to exchange town properties for farm lands, and many appear to be anxious to leave the town and engage in agricultural work. A large increase in production is looked for in the next few years. Controls Liquor Sales. Under the powers conferred by the Defence of the Realm Act the Brit- ish Government by an Order -in -Coun- cil decided to take over the control of the sale and supply of intoxicating liquors in many districts where war material is being made and loaded, unloaded or otherwise dealt with. The districts affected include the city of Bristol and surrounding towns, Avon- mouth, Newhaven, Southampton, Newport, Cardiff, Barry, Barrow -in - TWO WOMEN HEROES., Aid Belgian Soldiers in the Firing Line. cornea restless, and twitching of the muscles follow. Sometimes the child stumbles in walking and drops what it triesto hold. Pallor, listleesneas and irritability are symptoms that early show that the blood and nerves are failing to meet the demands made upon -them, and that St. Vitus ,dance' has fastened its hold upon the child. In this condition there is no tonic can equal Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, which build up the blood, strengthen the nerves and safely help to meet the demands of the growing child. Out- of-door - exercise, nourishing food, plenty of sleep with these tonic pills Will cure .even the most severe cases of St, Vitus dance. We offer the fol- lowing proof: "Up to the age of ten years," says Mra. Johnson, of Hem - ford, N.S., "my son Calvin was as healthy and rugged as any child could be. Then he began to complain that his eyes hurt him, and of pains in the head, and began to fall back in his Studies at school. Then I noticed a twitching of the muscles of his face and arms, and later his whole body seemed to be in constant motion. Our family physician was called in and pronounced the trouble a severe at- tack of St, Vitus dance. He was un- der the doctor's treatment for some three months, but did not seem to im- prove: We had taken him from school, and were careful that nothing should excite him, but notwithstand- ing he grew worse, and the least start would bring on attacks of hysteria. This; went' on for some months until Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were ;brought to my' attention, and we decided to give him this medicine. After using a few boxes there was a noticeable improvement, and by the time he had taken nine or ten boxes he had recov- ered his ..former good health. There has been no sign of a return' of the trouble, and I can scarcely say how thankful we feel for the complete restoration o four son's health." Parents who find their growing boys or girls becoming nervous should lose no time in giving them Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. You may ward, off an attack of St. Vitus dance, or if the trouble has reached that stage the Pills will effect a cure.

Few more splendid tales of devo- tion, courage and self-sacrifice have come from Belgium than the story of the gallant work of two English- women on 'behalf of the Belgian sol- diers in the trenches. They are Mrs. Kurcker' and Miss Chisholm, who went outto the Belgian trenches, and they have been there—the only two women ,allowed in the firing line of the 3rd Division—ever since last September. They spend their whole day in rescuing and caring for the sick and wounded, whom they them:- selves hem?selves carry to a little hut they have built a quarter of a mile from the payments for the real estate they the trenches, having already been had purchased long before, in the shelled out of two houses' which they bad been using as hospitals in Pervyse, where for months they lived in a cellar 10 feet square, night and day by candlelight, only twenty yards behind the trenches, ` and in which they nursed the wounded and spent the whole of their existence in their work of self-sacrifice and devotion. For this they have received the order of Leopold, which was conferred on them by King 'Albert himself. Fre- quently they have to go out them- selves entirely unaided to bring iii the wounded in the midst of a heavy fire to their little hut. In addition to this work, they devote themselves to the special care of those who are suffer- ing from shock or from those •acci- dents which are inseparable from so fierce a campaign as the present. It is impossible in a brief way to give any adequate idea of the splendor of the self-sacrifice:.of these two devoted women, or any teal con- ception of the value of the work they are carrying onion behalf oftheBel- gian soldiers, though . it has twice been ,specially mentioned in de- spatches.

He says: "For years I was a coffee drinker until at last I became a terrible suf- ferer from dyspepsia, constipation, headaches and indigestion. (The ef- fects on the system of tea and coffee drinking are very similar, because they each contain the drug, caffeine.) "The different kinds of medicine I tried did not cure me, and finally some one told me to leave off coffee and take up Postum. I was fortunate in having the Postum made strictly according to directions on the pkg., so` that from the start I liked it. "Gradually my condition changed. The old troubles disappeared and I began to. feel Well again. My appe- tite became good and I could digest food. Now I am restored to strength and health, can sleep sound all night and awake with a fresh and rested body, "I am really a monument built by Postum, for I was a physical wreck, distressed in body and mind, and am now a strong, healthy man.

But it also seems from the reports, that the days of disci- pline have resulted in the formation of a new perspective towards busi- ness generally, and the revival which now appears to be imminent will find a people without illusions and with a moreintelligently directed courage waiting to take advantage of its op- portunities. These reports to. the C. N. R. are supplementary t6 those published recently in connection with the survey of trade conditions in Can- ada, which was conducted by that company,. In British Columbia, the worst ef- fects, commercially, of the war over- seas, have been experienced by the men engaged in the lumbering indus- thy. The demand for building mater- ial from the people in the Prairie Provinces fell off sharply almost im- mediately after the outbreak of hos- tilities, and has not yet returned to its fernier volume. This undoubtedly adversely affected a number of small- er operators, or at least those enter- prices lacking adequate backing, but the larger concerns which were well financed have been able to easily wea- ther the re -adjustment period. At present, it would 'appear that the mills in British Columbia would be doing a much larger business if Ships were available to move the product to its destination, A shortage, of bot- toms as a matter of fact, appeara to e the chief handicap.

The British Empire is mobilizing its industries for the manufacture of shells at last in the tenth month of the war. • When shall we mobilize our scientists? asks a British writer. The urgency of this question' is em- phasized by the news that the French Academy' of Science is about to be placed in the closest possible touch with the French army. Officers are to', inform the academy of new needs as they arise and to submit questions for solution. Thus in pre- sent conditions wire entanglements are usually removed by a very clumsy process—using high -explosive shell to tear down their supports. It might be possible to devise some more ef- fective scientific means of achieving this end. Similarly with gas. The present idea is to meet poisonous gas by the issue of respirators. It would be better and quite as practicable to neutralize the asphyxiating gas with some other gas or vapor. To give an example, chlorine fumes would be rendered harmless by soda solution sprayed. In place of choking vapor there would be a snowfall of a solid viscous substance, chlorine of sodium, or common salt. The Germans mobilized their scientists and physicists for military purposes as they mobilized their whole nation.

Immediately after the military au- thorities had removed the last of the horses housed at the grounds over the winter, a meeting of the chairmen in charge of the different branches of the livestock department at the Ex- hibition met and decided to at once seek Government co-operation in the work of disinfecting and cleansing the grounds.

J z Will Quickly Cure British Brain Best. The scientists have given them various kinds of asphyxiating gases and bombs charged with formaline and other choking fumes. They have turned out high explosives in gigantic quantities and of relative stability. When the allied blockade interfered with the supply of ni- trates—and nitric acid is an essen- tial ingredient in every explosive— the German chemists produced their plant by which nitrogen was extract- ed from the air. They have antici- pated every move of the allies and have sprung surprise after surprise upon us. There is an ill-founded idea that the British are inferior to the Ger- Relieves Fullness After Meals.

"Drink plenty of cold water, but do not gulp it. "Never drink with meals, but im- mediately after. "Eat plenty of fruits and vege- tables.
