'ive been sincere? A.re we consistent
when we talk so much about patriot-
ism?. Patriotism has been defied as
"'devotion to the welfarq and interest
of one's country." As Bolingbroke
said, "Patriotism must be tounded en
great.. principles and supported by
peat virtues,"
• Obviously, then, the nation that. is
Most patriotic and 'the people who are
moat patriotic,' are those who are
'b'rffanizing best for the efficient physi-
cal anci mental development or wel-
fare -of the most valuable. asset .the
nation possesses, namely, the boys.ancl
girls.. It seemed to require a devast-
ating war such as we have passed
through to impress on the nations of
the world the significance of the re-
mark made by one of 'Great 13nitairt's
greatest statesmen, that "Public
health is the foundation of national
strength and human happiness." The
Rt. Hon.•David Lloyd George practi-
cally reiterated this hist August while
advising the establishing of a Depart-
ment of Health for Great Britain,
when he said that if Great Britain had
been caring for the health of her peo-
ple for the past tixenty-five years as
she should have heeli, she would have
had over a million more men to put
in the field, and tlr war would have
been over months before it ,was.
Fortunately, there is evidence of an
awakening in all nations, especially in
Great Britain and the United States.
These nations have spent mfilions
since the war began in Child Welfare
—amounts far in advance of what
would have been entertained for one
moment previous to the war. In fact,
this is true to a greater tQr less degree
of all nations. Il; may be interesting
to our readers to know that some of
the more enlightened communitieS are
now spending nearly as much money
on the care of the expectant mothers
of one race as theY tiee on the expect-
ant derseY cow and BerIcshire sow,
and OUT babies are fast falling le liee,
in mahout' importance with the yoking

layer same the barbaeie egos when

Child Welfaep have found th.einselvee
confronted ot eve4E turn with evideeee
of man's inhumanity, to man, eelmeial-
ly througei eine of omission or, ehell
we 0ay, through cold indifference. It
theme almoet theredible that the att.
tilde a society towards the thild could
ever have been anything but tender,
It has taken over 2e900 yeaes of so-
called Christian civilization for na-
Cons to realize them thligettlepe to
the child, The awakening fiest oc-
curred in a national way' In cothection
with the development of the child's
mind. Consequently, under the Tru -
alley Acts whict Ilea been in foroe
siace 189e, it was made compulsory
Der every child t� attend school until
fourteen Years of , age. This was an
excellent move, but in making it it
was not theageized that a pre -requi-
site foA a good citizen is a sound mind
in a sound body. „..
Gelton, in his study of distinguished
men of seience, in England, found that
of these who had attainedgreat
eminence, 95 per cent. werannen of
unusual energy and .were the children
of parents' noted for their energy.
Physical growth, then, seems' to be
both a sign of mental growth and a
condition essential to •inental • power.
"The elay cottage," as 'Locke design-
ated Our bodies, is more than a mere
shelter for the mind; it must also act
as m support and an instrument of the
mind. In other words, a sound body
is essential as a safe dwelling place
for a sound and developed mind. Her-
bert Spencer once\ Said: "The first re-
quisite for any individual is that he
be a . good. animal." Professor Tait
McKenzie has said: "After the war
Great Britain will become like a beat
in which there is no room for the man
who cannot pull his own weight." 4 .
Plainly, then, any nation is coinmit-
ting snicicle. that does not see to it
that the physical deVelejiment of every
child is kept in advaitge.ef the mental;
for the foundation of accomplishment,
national or personal, mast rest on the
Physical as well as the mental ability
to accomplish what is attempted, and
the nations that have vision to' see and
act on this will 'outdistance those that
have not.
It must be apparent then tliat every
ctild, in the interests of the' state as
well as in his Own interests, is en-
titled ;tobe well born, and, being well
born, is entitled to the best physical,
mental and mcimal development of
which he ie capable. -
A New Barn Started Them.
A new Mall moved into our neigh
boyhood. It was the spring of the
year when most forks were- not very
busy—waiting 'foe -"the frostto get

fore the neighbors heard Rounding and
other sounds from the home of the
new MAIL
"Ahal New lords, new laws!" they -
laughed and Welled up to see what
was going on. The old barn was re-
ceivirig a transformation that made
it the pride of the neighbOrhood; the
old house jumped up a foot and a
half to a new wall; other improve-
ments took place all round the place,
until people wondered where it was
going to end, It will be a long time

which were weatherbeaten and grey

Eti and His Sons, 1 Sant, 2: 12-17'; 4:
1-18. 'Golden Text.—Rom. 6; 23.
2: 12-17. Sons of Belial meant
"worthless fellows" or "vile fellows."
The word "belial" means "worthless-
ness," but the later Jews made it a
proper name, hence our spelling of it
with a capital letter. ,
The latter part of v. 12 and v. 13
should be rendered, as in the margin
of the ',Revised Version'"they know
not (or did not regard) the Lord, nor
the Custom (thee is, the cuetomary
share) of the priests from the people."
They demandeciethe pick Of the choice

the pot and should 'have received their
share as described in vv. 18-14. Theta
ie 110 doubt thaethe sons of Eli might
have been- vestraieed by their father
from this coarse and greedy conduct
if he had chosen to exeraise his
authority. He contented himself -with
a gentle rebuke and remonstrance (2:
22-25), to which they gore no heed.
The Ain of the young men was very
great before the Lord. •
Eli, the chief 'priest of Shiloh, re-
ceived a warning, -first from an lie-
named- prophet, who predicted the
downfall of his house and the, death of
his sons, and second from his own
servant and pupil, Sameel, to whom
there came sa divine revelation by
night (the 2; "27-8: 21). The gentle -
nese, the kindliness, the simplicity of
the old priest, aral the submissiveness
with which he received..tiote rebuke
from the mouth of the boy whet served
hiriVare very attractive, even though
W0 must deplore the vv,eakneete' which
permitted his sons to continue in their

Shaded Rhubarb Was Best. •
I once found some rhubarb growing
in a shady place. When I boolced
some of it I thought I had discovered
the finest variety of rhubarb in the
world. I took up the roots, set them
in my garden, and gave them good
cultivation in the full sunshine. When
I cooked some of the stalks, I found
they made sour and unpleasant sauce.
Since then I have been a firm believer

. Keeping Down Apple Scab.
` Spraying keeps the leaves healthy
enabling the trees to form latge.-fruit
spurs, and by covering the fruit with

tion or Bordeaux mixture, the attack
porfevaerid.
pptleeserib and ether diseases 18
Apple scab is most prevalent in wet
seasons, as the spores require water
for germination, Serious losses from
this disease often occur even when
the trees are sprayed, due to the fat
that at some time during the season
too long a period is allowed to pass
without spraying the trees. This has
been especially true when there have
been frequent showers during the first
half of May or in July and August
when little spraying has been done.,
The character of the weathea..ean-
not be forecast for any considerable
time, and as the sprays are of a pre-
ventive nature, it is important that
the spraying be done just before a
rain, or at any rate near ereaugh to
the rainy ',period so that the foliage
and fruit will be covered. If this can
be clone there will be little danger of
attack 'by/ fungi, since the spores of
fun-gi cannot germinate where there
la even a thin filin of a fungicide.
According to the coedition,of the
weather there is danger from the at-
tack of the fungi from the time the
first leaf -buds open until the fruit has
!been harvested, and even after the
apples are in barrels the scab spots
may enlarge.
In ordinary seasons we can figure
that a 'thorough application of limo -
sulphur solution to the leaves. and
401118 will only protect them from at -
lack for two weeks; and if the wea-
ther is dry its effects may last for
three or four weeks. From this, it
can be seen that in order to hold
apple scab (pear slab is a nearly rel-
ated disease and the following holds
true with it also) in check we should
make the first application as soon as
any green growth shows on the trees,
and repeat every two or three weeks
up to the first; or even the middle of
August in wet summers.
What is known as the "pre -pink"
spray, or early cluster -bud, should not
be omitted. Use one gallon of Limo.
sulphur to forty gallons of water, and
repeat in' ten or twelve days if the
buds have not opened. Spray again
as soon asithe fruit has set, and con-
tinue the applications cm winter ap-
ples until August first, or,even later.
At no thine should more than four
weeks elapse without spraying and St
should not he delayed more -than two
or three weeks in wet seasons. In
most, if not all of the epplications, an
arsenical should he used,
By following these suggestions and
spraying, the trees thoroughly, from
ninety-five to ninety-nine per cent, of
the fruit will be free from apple scab
and worms.
Fistula and Poll Evil.
,I How comes it that so many farm
horses suffer from fistulous withers
or poll evil? The answer to th,is
tion is difficult to find in sorne in-
stances, but plain in many others.
Bruise is the common cause of
fistula of the withers, which is char-
acterized by formation of a laege, hot,
painful swelling at the highest point
of the withers, or larther forward,
where the top of the collar Ades. Pus
t forms, burrows, breaks forth, or is
liberated by lancing, and the condition
then existent is termed a fistula,
Poll evil is of exactly the seine
character, the swelling occurring at
the poll or nape a the neck and from
How To Make Spray Mixtures.
Pour the dissolved copper sulphate
and the milk of lime into the sprayer
tank, or into a supply tank, at the
same time. • Add enough water to
make fifty gallons.
For Bordeaux 4-0-50 use six pounds
pf lime instead of four.
To make self -boiled lime -sulphur 8-
8-50, use eight pounds of unslaked
lime, eight pounds of flowers of sul-
phur, fifty gallons of 'water. Place
the lime An a barrel and add almost
enough water tO•oover the 111250. When
the lime begins to slake odd the sul-
pbur, which should be made into a
paste by mixing it with water. Stir
the cooking mixture and add water as
needed to keepkit in the form of a
thick paste, which should become thin-
ner as the mixture cooks. In ten' Or
fifteen minutes the heat from the
slaking lime will cook the mixture and
enough cold water should be added to
make fifty gallons. This 18 the stand-

there slightly forward toward the
forelock. In both cohditions an abscess
results from bruising, and the pus
burrows, forming pipes and pockets,
and tissues, e.specially cartilage, be-
come diseased or dead.
Poll evil is generally caused by the
animal throwing up its heacrand strik-
ing the poll upon a low beam, rafter,
branch of a tree, or other object. Oe-
casionally a case ie caused by a tight
halter or bridle strap, or by infection
of a wound. Fistula of the withers is
caused by bruising upon a hard ob-
jet when the horse rolls, or lies down
in the stall; or may be caused" by
irritation from a badly fitting collar,
or swaying of the wagon pole, or from
a blow or kick, .
It is a fine practice to let every -"-
herd-worked farm horse have a roll
on grass after the harness las leen
removed in the evening, and if it can
be allowed at noontime so much the
better. Carefully examine the place
where the horses are to roll and re-
move every hard object that might
bruise the withers, If cases of fistula
or poll evil have been prevalent a
careful search should be made for the
object that caused the bruises. On
one farm 1370 found that horses were
hitting their heads on a big, horizontal
branch of an 011it tree under which
they had to para. on their way to pas-
ture. The path was narrow at that
point and the horses, in squeezing
through, sometimes reared and hit the
branch. See to it, also, that the har-
ness 24 so adjusted and 'so free from
sharp or rough points that it does
not irritate, bruise or cut the top of
the neck or head.
When a horse has bruised its with-
ers or poll, retire it from work, Pat
on the bruisedspot a cold, wet com-
press moistened with a lotion com-
posed of two drams of sugar of lead
and half a pint of vinegar per quart
of cold water. This is poisonous, so
care must be taken to keep the lotion
away from persons and animals. In
very hot weather, when water can not
be kept cold, use a 1081031 composed of
one ounce each of powdered saltpeter
and chloride of ammonia per quart of
water. This mikes e cooling lotiou
which stays cold, and evaich will be
found useful in treating all hot and
painful bruises or sprains.
If pus forms, and that is indicated
by heat and pain persistent in the
swelling, and by softening or point-
ing at one part, it must be liberated
by lancing. The operator should lay
open every pipe and pocket to secure
free drainage. Such cutting may safe-
ly be done in the region of the with-
ers, but lancing at the seat of the poll
evil is a dangerous business and should
bo clone only by a trained expert. The
surgeon also 'edit cut away all dead
and diseased cartilage, or other tissue,
swab the wound with t,incture of
iodine, and then pack the cavities full
of antiseptic gauze saturated with an
antiseptic and stimulating solution.
Among new treathnents for such cases
is the 'fiNing of the cevities with bis-
ntertrthaprte, or packing them with con-
od lye, after amaying lard or
