Pr. Middleton will' be glad to answer queet:tous .on Public health :let•
firs mrcuch Ibis toluene Addrees hila at the 1'artinmeet Bides,
Toronto,
A few days ago a ne.ttei'.reached Mo
:from a molter in the eountry,'read'ing
.as fell:me; "Our 'baby, seven weeks
,old, had a rash from the Beat. Would
'yeti kindlytell me Whet is best to de
:for it." Thi, is a difficult question to
.an;;wor by letter, and shows tailtat
Pn'biie health officials have to deal
With. In the fast plaice the queition
!should be answered by the family 'Ay-
',
lsician, Ile is the one to visit the child
:and determine what the cause of the
'rash may be. The mother may think
tit is caused by heat and she may be
night, but it is better to have expert
;advice cn the natter. There ave rash -
'es dee to scarlet fever, inelpient
:maples and various other ailments
;Met heve to be into account.
It is for reasons such as this. that
-Public Health Education as fax as
'Child Welfare is concerned, aims to
Impress en 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
without 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
'eonvinead that the sick children had
merely a "sore throat" or tonsilitis.
'Over 60" per cent. of the deaths from
•diphtheria in Ontario last year were
;among' children under five years of
age—that is, children of pre-school
:age who had not 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 es anything
'serious. The idea of calling in a doctor
is only as a lest resort with sere
people,' in fact, yon will sometimes
'hear the expression "I don't think he
is sick enough to sone for a doctor."
The baby is not a toy or .a playtlhing,
but a great rea'ponsibility. Its health,!
'growth and happiness (legend largely
'upon you—the parent. Therefore you
iuust avoid infection by keeping the
baby away from anyone who is not
perfectly well. What seems like a cold,
in the head may turnout to be measles
cr some other disease. Remember that
noeeales and whooping -cough are seri-
cue, diseases for young children. The
older a chis.d is when he comes down

:fatal results, The germs of disease

thing that has not been thoroughly

not let the baby crawl around on a
dirty floor or dusty carpet. Place,him.

baby's room.
Keep flies away front 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.

draw,) and uninteresting actuations with
etudes find •gooci,fellowsllip, A , few
evenings ago I was in a train coming
to Torou o from I31a•olcwater J'unetion
end tibe •eon'perenjerrt was filled with
the ordinary crowd of tired, sleepy in-
dividuate 0)10 SOW travelling at night
After a long journey, 'Yawning, gams
trig listlessly at the notice' prohibiting
sls'ittieg in the train, or looking out
into the dark of evening, everybody,
seent5e'd to be booking on life as a
ooininonflace, without a thrill. Iiut
into the train cavae a young Man we'er-
ing the returned button, and with him
were his 'wife and baby. That charm,
ing little mortal abqut fifteen menthe
old was soon the centre of interest.
II•ardly had its mother get seated
when it wheeled round in her arms
and grabbed a newspaper which a man
was listleswly reading .in the seat be-
hind. Inatanllly the man was Alert
with kindly interest. Not wanting to
have the reader disturbed, the mother
moved over to the seat feeing, but a
ruddy -complexioned old fellow was the
next victim. The little tot promptly
took hold of his ear and tho weather-
beaten stranger turned round startled,
But when he saw that laughing tittle
ocuntenenco he instantly reached
over his horny hand and shook baby's
outstretched palet. The child then
noticed a lady across the aisle eating
an orange and glued its eyes en the
attractive fruit. With the mother's
permission the lady •gavo a sectiou of
the orange to the child, and to show 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 travollieg compavicn not on'y
to its parents., but to every etre-neer
it niet along the way. Its father lo•
marked to ane that the baby wan
breast-fed from birth till it was over
nine months old, which was very ob-
vious.
To rhe, interested in the Welfare of
Children, my admiration of this
youngster was associated with a feel-
ing of regret—regret that there
dwelt*, not be more of these healthy,
happy babies in this Province of On-
tario. They are optimists from birth
and will grow to healthy 'nen and
;women. How often we see the other
extreme, the ill-nourishecl, 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 housetops, from the pulpit and
from every newspatper and avenue of
pnlblicity.in this country.
Good Spirits.
There are three sorts of spirits—al-
ooholic, 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
Me statement that it is unwise, if not
dangerous, to get in low spirits, and
as wines ceases produce that effect,
it is re well to know what those causes
are; and counter then, Forget not
that what we call "spirits" is really
our vitality, thelife principle.
We feel depressed in spirits on a wet
day because the air is laden with va-
por, and has proportionately less ogy-
gen in it. The air, too, is lighter than
usual, and does not balance the air
in our bodies. Hence the depression,
The result is that we work with..dlf t-
oitlty and lees efficiency.
The remedy is to get out 01 doors
and double the normal rate of -breath.
ing. That, az is evident, wilt pump
more oxygen into the system, and the
benefit le immediate, The "Ilte" of
the depression can be felt.
And laugh! Laughter stirs tip 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
of fact, a forced Laugh will soon pi'o-
greas to a natural one. Try. You will
got amused at. yourself, and up will
bound your spirits.
Finally, add to the quicker breath-
ing and the laughter, a loosening ie!
your clothing, Undo neck mid'ivritst-
bands and the like. That's the test
1 little touch. As the proof of elle purl-
' ding is in the eating try this threefold
remedy the next tine you are depress
ed from any cause, and you will find it
a sure cure.
The man who is afraid cf soratching
his hands will not gather many ber-
ries.

Tho pituitary body, another ductless
gland that wo know something about,
is situated in the cranium, It also re-
gulates growth but lnterferense with
its function produces au abnormal
lengthening of the bones. Iu some
cases it produces a disease called
acromegoly in which there is an in-
crease in the size and shape at some
of the structures of the body with .0
gradual diminution el the 'vital powers.
A now era in the interesting ques-
tion of longevity is dawning with a
more concrete conception or the Eune-
tfaus of the ductless glands. Many
conditions — among them premature
senility, the origin et ,which has been
obwcure, are being cleared up, not only
115 the treatment, but in the proVeution
of these affections classed among tho
diseases of old ago.
For instance, arteriosclerosis or
hardening of the- arteries, a condition
exceedingly common in males, has
been artificially produced in rabbits by
the administration of a product secret-
ed by one of the hitherto mysterious
duetlecs glands. '
Tho small bean'shaped organa, "ad-
renals," have a marked influence upon'
the skin. There is e. rare disease of
these glauds in which a white person
resembles au Indian. In even slight
changes of the adrenals, the skin loses
ltd hue of youth and health, becoming'
dark, "bilious," and pigmented. De-
generacy of the thyroid gland 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. Shute they are inter-
related, depending upon each other for
the maintenance et the vital tomes, it
is Main that what affects one will in-
fluence the others.
We have long known that the 'main
element In thyroid secretion le 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
such foods as contain iodine, also by
taking minute doses 01 iodine daily.
The French were the first to throw
light upon the extraordinary role play-
ed by the ductless glands as rejuveae-
tors. Implantation• of the tntere.tital
glands for purposes of regeneration,
isnot new. It was tried on animals in
England over 160 yeare ago. With a
more exteuded (knowledge as to the na-
ture of the secretions yielded by the in-
terstitial glands, we will probably be
Otto to asiniln eter it, as we now do
iodine or thyroid extract, and do main-
tain the integrity of all the.vital forces

Opportunity wandered along
in search of a man who would rise.
He said to the indolent throng:
"here's o chance for the fellow who
tries,"
But each of theta said with a smile,
"I wish I could do it but I'm
Very busy to -clay, and l'in sorry to say
That I re-t11y haven't got time:"
At last Opportunity came
To a man Who was hardened with
cares,
And said: "I now offer the sane
Opportunity that has been theirs.
Here's a duty that ought to be clone.
It's a chance if you've got time to
take it."
Said the man with a grin: "Come
along, pa'es it in!
I'll either find time or I'll make It."
Of ell the excuses there are .
By which this old world is rtconrsed,
This "haven't got time" is by far
The poorest, the Eseblest, the worst.

Courting on • Stilts.
A disastrous fire in the Department
of Landes, in France, has focused at-
tention
stendon on the Cements stilt -walkers of
that district.
Owing to the dampness of the soil
and continuous floods, the people,
mostly farmers and shepherds, spend
the greater phut o£ their lives en stilts,
in the use of which they are expert.
The stilts are strapped below the
knees, the feet being fastened in a
kind of stirrup raised five feet front
the ground. A pole, which the stilt -
walker carries in place of the ordinary
walking -stick, nerves as a rest, the
user propping himself against it when
halting.
The women cf the district are as
skilful as the men in the use of stilts,
and a courting couple striding off to
their trystiug-place on stilts is a com-
mon sight.
A famous stilt•walker of the district,
StIvaiu Donlon, a balker, walked on
stilts from Paris to Moscow, a distance
of 1,680 miles, in (iffy --eight days,
