There are two 01. three weak points

first is a poor foundation, preventing
good drainage. The second is the
kind of a roof which absorbs the sun's

becomes like an oven. While there is
-usually little choice allowed in the
selection of a site, there -are certain

Speaking of the water euppte re-
minds me of e woman wheat I visited
twiee in the coffisse of two yeare, Site
and her hosberel were pioneers in their
,section, and et was taking peach bard
work and still more patience and grit
to get their little TOM into shape for
profitable farming. The wife was do-
ing. her full share. From the first
she had insisted on keeping eows, for
she came hem a dairy country and
lovew the need of dairy stook not only
for food for her children belt also ter
ferbilizing the land. In fact, -she had
bought the mem 'with her own sav-
ings, and with the help of the children
took fall charge of them-, At the time
of my first visit, on a cold windy day
in late November, I found he with
two of the little boys, esumping and
carrying water to the cattle, The
pump VMS a heavy one, and the stream
of water IS pitifully gender in pro-
poreion to the strength it took to .raise
it. They took turns carrying and
puniping, and all were exhausted. The
-children -were plucky and willing but
they were tired arid cold and it was
growing dark. The mother's few was
white and drawn and at last she saki:
"That wili have to do. The baby is
crying und I can't pump another
stroke! The cows haven't had 'half
enough but I can't help itl"
We went into the house, and I
learned of this woman's pluck. Rather
than give up the -COWS during the
winter, when her huebiand had to work
in the lumber camp, she was facing
the heavy work that it meant. "I get
along all right with everything but
the pumping. The boys are too little
to -do much of it and it is so hard that
it uses me up for my other week. But
I just eannot give up the cows) though
they see not doing nearly as well as
they should and I am almost sure it
is because they are not getting enough
water; From my home training, I
know a good deal about feeding and I
take good .care 'of them We'll get
through till Ben cornes home, some
way, and in the spring they ean get
good water from the lake."
A year later business took me that
way again, and I called to see how
the problem had. worked out. She
remembered me,- as people do, where
visitors are rare.
"You see, re, not pumping this
time!"
"Is your -husband et leome this win-
ter?". I asked.
"Ne," she replied, "but last winter
showed me that I could not do again
what I had then. So in the sumn:er
the chiSdren and I conned money every
way we could. We saved what the
bull calves brought for veal and I sold
two of tee cows to help out. Then we
built a little pump Muse, bought a
gasoline en -gine and pined the water
to the barn and into my Isitehen. I
cannot tell you how different it ha's
made life for mel By spring lust
year I was ready to give up and quit

-As Ernest finishea his protest they
were just approaeltiee the corner of
ehapel and Church streets. Aboet
twenty-flye feet from the cornenthey
Paseed a traffie eigepost that read,
"Straight Traffic at the Next Comer."
"What does that sign moan?" agsed
the -Elector, for he was from out erf
town and Mel not $0811 it before.
"It means," paid his son, "that now
you've passed thet poet you have to
go straight ahead. You can't stop,
and you can't turn."
'Well, 3 guess," said tbe doetor,
as his metleine shot out .of the traf-
fic ento the open street ahead, "that's
as good en illustration as I need. Enl-
oe I've been practioing medicine long

I clone suppose anyone who started
out with a friendly glass now and then
thought he sv.as going to end with
delirium tremens. But before he knew
it, .
he ran by the Mst point of recov-
ery, just as I ran by that signpost,
and after ;that igwas 'straight traffic
at the next corner' for him.
"It reminds me Of one time when I
took -the wrong train at Winnipeg. I
wanted to get off at Norwalk, but I'd
got on a through express to New
Haven, and to New HireeneI went.
First you take the train; then the
train takes you. The dine to do your
thinking about your destination is be-
fore you take the train. You say you
don't want to be everlastingly think-
ing of consequences while you're in

you to 'have to think everiestingly
abouesconsequences after you get out
of e,ollege that I am warning you to
be .careful now. The turning over a
new -leaf idea is a snare laid by the
Devil. What you've written by habit
in your nervous system is written, and
it's always there either as an ally or
as fill enemy. Don't ren past the .sign-
posts, and then expect nature to re-
verse the traffic regulations for your
benefit. Beyond a certain point it's
'straight traffic at the next corner'
for us all."
The School .Bm.;.s as the Cereal-
. ist on the Farm.
To these clays of agricultural ad-
vancement, the farmer muse keep
abreast of the times if he wishes to
make a success out of his labors. As
in other cornenercial pursuits, the
farmer cannot attend to all the small
details. of the farm operations but has
to use ids time supervising the work.
Consequently, if he cannot attend to
everything personally, im must dele-
gate some tasks to, others and it is
here that the school boy comes into
his own. With the training he receives
at -scbool, he gets some idea of botany.
At the sehool, fairs he becomes ac-
quainted with the different grades Of
grain by seeing one boy get first prize
because his sample is clean from
weede and dirt, Mamie in' OiZe and

amine the whole plql; without' thy
trouble. All through the growing sea -
eon he sbould Mgt the plots fre-
quently end pick out all the impurities
sueh as wild oats. Any silents that
are different from the rest of the plot
should be pulled and thrown out, or,
if they heve desirable qualities, kept
end grown the next year, each in a
small separate plot. As the embryo
cerealist will no doubt be eomparing
differeut varieties of oats, barley or
wheat, he should earefully note when
they head out and, ripen, and should
also observe their relative eliferress of
straw. Besides attending to .his small
plots, he can have a tools through the
main farm crops and pick -out the wild
oats or other dangerous impurities
present.
When the crop is ripe he should go
through the plots and eare.fully pick
a Large number of • good, uniform
heads. These he tan now thresh and
Mean up for next year's sowing, He
should have sufficient grain from
these heads to sow eme-quarter acre,
and the third year he should be able
to supply his father with clean, care-
fully grown seed in a large quantity
for the whole farm.
Thus the school -boy will ;serve the
dual purpose f supplying his father
with good, clean, pure seed for general
farm operations ane at the same time
train himself to know the worth of
good seed and to 'be a careful worker.
Wheel he grows up, he will take eis
place amongst the leaders in his com-
munity and raise the standard of
farming in that district. The careful
boy of to -day wile become the careful
farmer •oteto-morrow.
Building For the Future.
One of tho most ianpressive of the
exhibits at the big fairs last fall was
that of the boys' end girls' elebs. The
writer saw three farm girls, about
fourteen years of age, demonstrate
.how to buy cloth. They showed how
to distinguish between wool and cot-
ton, between wool and shoddy, between
silk and imitation silk. The way they
answered questions put to them by the
interested bystanders showed that the
girls understood what they were do-
ing..
Welfare of the Home
Reading to the Children
I have been watching two groups of
little children. at play. One group
spends most of its time trundling
themselves and eaeh ether up and
down the sidewalk in various aorta
of vehicles, kidellie ears, tricycles, toy
automobiles and wagone, in gazing at
the traffic and various happenings of
the streetein gangs to the store for
candy, and now and again chasing
each other about. The other group is
always energetically "'playing some-
thing," timely outdoor games, and
draanatic representations of Indians,
Departments, RodCross First
Aid, glands, fanners, exelorers,, build-
ers. These and eediess other imita-
tive plays 'Eel 'have their turn.
Why simuld the, little boy of the
first group -Mt cheerily on the deer -

Without knowing the exact ciecurn-

Physital Educatioe and Posture.
In any scheme for the upbuilding of
Minute efficiency, physical , education
mast necesserily -be one of the funda-
mentals. It must be acknowledged
thalmthe averege men or woman, boy
or girl is most efficient when he or
she is pimeically fit.
Mstreover, physical edecation, in the
modern sense, does not stop et physi-
cal Meese, but ;tends to mental and
moral fitness as well. The boy whose
nerve cells are fed by the quickened
°Mutation, due to .physical exercise,
and whose mind is rendered alert arid
keen by the demand' fax the quick
response to command en a drill or the
necessity for prompt and decisive ac-
tion in a game, is usually in 'better
condition to solve a problem in maths

- Furthermore, the loyalty, eourage
and social qualities•developed in team
play, together with the self-respect
thatmomes from the erect carriage of
-a well -poised body, strengthen the
moral fibre of the individual and the
nation. ;
The school owes physical training
to your children just as Mule as it
owes them mental training. The edu-
cational program that aimeel at the
production of a few lightning -calm-
latorgeor erudite bookworms rather
than a well-rounded education for
every -pupil would be considered ab-
surd and freakish. In the same way
the physical training that produces
a few spectacular athletes to the neg-
lect of the needs of all the pupils is
fundamentally wrong. When all the
boys and girls of the Country are
placed under the instruction ef ade-
quately trained teachers of physical
education, the work will consist of
corrective and. recreational exercises
I n well-balanced proportions. These
two :forms of exereisce-the first aim-
ing at the production of good posture,
and the second offering the advantages
of healthy sport—will contain also all
the essentials of edecationel and hy-
gienic exercise.
The mother who has net at one time
or another, told her boy or girl to
"stand up straight" or "sit up" is the
exception. Thoughtful parents are
-always concerned 'about the poor pos-
ture of their eitildeen, and rightfully
so. Bad posture is detrimental from
the standpoint of health, appearance,
material advantege and, in a wee', of
character.
When the liody is held erect and
well poised, all the organs are in the
best position for carrying out their
special functions. When this is not
the ease it is 00157' to eee how der-
angements of the health may come
about. This fact, together with the
vastly more' nttractive eppMranee of
the child with good -carriage, is enough
to convince any parent of the import-
ance of any measure designed to se-
cure good pogeoe, It is well, too, to
remember that a well -set up boy is
more 'apt to be mesidered intelligent
and efficient, and more Likely to be
chosen for important work than if he
slouches into en office with an awk-
ward body awkwardly handled.
Elements of bad posture, such as
round shoulders, protruding head,
"away back," fixed or overextended
knees and weak feet, often appear in -
young children, and exercise foe their
correction me-st not be delayed too
long. -A teamed teacher of Physical
education tvill know how to introduce
some of these exercises even in the
first primary grade. And he it under-
stood, on the authority of one -of the
beg teachers of posture in the coun-
try, that only the eoreective type of
exercise will improve pasture.- A boy
inay play footbell or dertgeball until
he is grayhended, or chin the bar a
thousand times, and be as round-
shotikleted (move es in the ease of
chinning the bet) as when he began.
• Ibis- true that work, many games and
'moles exercise the muscles that must
I be Melt up to 1171p1.01,0 poseire, but
1 in these activities the muscles are not
used in co-ordination necessary for
good carriage. This is eci well remg-
nized that the best school systems in-
clude in their phesical education pro-
gram the type' of exercise that
contains this corrective element.
The supervisor of physical education
who limits his activities to making out
a syllabus el exercises for- the use of
untrained teachers, and the holding
of an athletic meet onto a year. is
falling short of the ideal to be desired.

ity can bave £r.y Reel of elms:Mal
edutatien they desire simply by de-
, mending it. While the importance.of
1 this subject can scarcely be overesti-
mated, there are large numbera of
children in Canada who Mee no train-

perative that all parents -who wish
their thedren to have the ben.efit of
careful, scientifi-e physical education
should get behind any movement that
promises to provide it.
Prevention of Tuberculosis.
Health authorities have agreed that
the control of tuberculosis demands
primarily care of the health of chil-
dren. More and more they have found
that it is in childhood that the seeds
of tuberculosis are plarted, Prior to
the year 1882 no one knew what caused
tuberculosis. In- that year, however,
Doctor Koch, the • famous German
scientist, discovered a very minute
germ which he named the tubercle
bacillus and which he demonstrated
was the cause of many different forms
of diseme in various parts of the bady.
Study of the tuberele bacilMs showed
that it grows best in Sink, moist
places an•d that bright sunshine easily
kills the germ. Experience has also
shown that while no medicine which
one can buy will cure tuberculosis,
yese the disease may often be entirely
arrested if the patient lives in fresh
air, eats good food and gets siseficiont
rest.
There is one simple rule to follow,
which will make it very unlikely that
tuberculosis will lay hold on your
child. In fact, by following this rule
children will be protected against
many other diseases. The rule is:
Keep strong. If you keep your body
strong and well, it svill figist off the
germs of disease so that they cannot
harm you. And here are some smeller
; rulessto make you keep strong ;
First. Always breathe fressit
. Neeer sleep, study, work en play in a
; room without a window open.
Second. Eat nourishing food and
drink plenty of pure water. Avoid
food that is hard to digest, like heavy
pastries. Never eat or dtink anything
- that weakens the body.
Third. Make sure that everything
you put into your mouth is clean.
Wash your !hands always before eating
Eine bathe maw whole body often.
Clean yore. teeth eveey day. Do not
sulFlokueith. Exercise every clay in the
open air. Keep your shoulders straight.
Take many deep breaths every day.
Not long ago the teacher in one of
our eity schools noticed that a deliege
child of ten years was coughing a
great deal and growing pale and thins
