There are advantages in almost every thing. Even the bald-headed man has Something. to be thankful for. It is .a curious belief, held by many people, that you 'will never find a bald-headed man in danger In dying from consum- pttotl. Bald-headed men are said to seldom suffer from consumption, and that a teenden.cy to baldness is assurance that the dreaded scourage will pass over him whose thatch grows thin. At first glance it would seem bsared to argue that a man's, hair is indicative of his immunity from disease, but a well-known doctor recently declared that in five years during which' he ser- iously added a record of his patients' hair, or lack of it, his case cards have failed to sbow a single instance of 'bald' being entered upon the card of con samtive, We had under treatment more than 700 cases, and he makes the futher statement that in a census of more than 5.000 tuberculosis cases he failed to discover a single sufferer who was bald; tie makes no efforts to explain his theory upon medicial ground§, but simply offers the results of his obser- vation for the benefit of the profession, and has invited his brother physicians to write him on any case of a bald- headed consumtive coming under their observation, but as yet none has turn- ed up,—Tit-Bits.

(Ay te Specialist, On Ontario Department G iP Agriculture, Toronto.) At no time in many years has the, necessity and importance of the home vegetable garden been so clear- ly shown as for this coming summer, France, our wonderful ally, has since tFrench Revolution been a nation tee . French of small farmers, her people of small means cultivating some available land to produce a portion of their own bouseboid foodstuffs and to In- crease the wealth or the nation; Great Britale, threatened with a shortage of foodstuffs, determined to cultivate all available landpossible to offset this.. shortage and we in Canada heading every energy toward facilitating these great nations should do all in our individual power to do something in the hope of help- ing n ourselves and assistling ' the com- mercial vegetable growers who are seriously handicapped by the short- age of labor in the. production of vegetable foodstuffs. ' Every city, town, and village dweller has an op- portunity to help this great work, •1n that there are hundreds of avail- able plots now practically unproduc- tive which could be made grow 'vegettibles ' and thus add to the wealth of the country. Vegetables an Important Food. Mrs, W. J. Wilson, Carp Ont., writes: "1 have used Baby's Own Tablets for the last ten years and can highly re- commend them for babyhood and child- hood ailments. My baby boy was,very delicate; in fact we never thought he would live but thanks to the Tablets he is now a fine healthy boy." Baby's Own Tablets should be kept in every home where there are small children. They regulate the bowels and stomach and never fail to cure the minor ills of little ones. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers. or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., . Brockville, Oat, , , .. BRIDAL SUPERSTIONS , . On the wedding day, according to some superstious people, the bride has to be careful. She must wear: Something old, something new, °teething. borrowed, and something blue. She must see that she has not even a black thread in hor costume, and she must on no account see her bridegroom on the wedding day until she meets hint in the church. She must put her left foot over the step of the church first, and on no accaount look over, her shoulder at any time during the ceremony. Of course, your married life may be perfectly happy although you have done every one of the things here forbidden. Yo Y L ok As U FEEL You know well enough when your liver is loafing. Constipation is the first warning; then you begin to "feel mean all over." Your skin sown gets the had news, it grows dull, yellow, muddy and un- sightly. Violent purgatives are not what you need—just the gentle help of this old. time standard remedy.

Vegetables ebould form an import- ant portion of the daily food of the average human being,tor they possess qualities which we are told are essen- tial in the proper digestion of the heavy foods, such as meats. To help you do your part in your backyard this column will discuss some of the practical' problems in connection v,'itb vegetable growing during the next few weeks. All backyards cannot be prepared in one year to grow 'vegetables of au excellent quality. Some portion of the yard, however, may be devoted to this purpose, or, if it is convenient, there are usually many vacant lots which are not too tar from one's place of abode which possibly could be devoted to ''bo growing of veget- ables. Some Ersentials. • First of all it is essential that the vegetable garden, no matter bow small, be planted according to some plan or 'rule. No one attempts to build a house•or to set out a peren- nial flower border without using some drawing or chart to go by. Why should the vegetable•garden he treat- ed differently? Haphazard planting will prove a failure, and in irder to overcome this it should be remem- bered inlaying out the garden that— (1) Tail plants will bo most effec- tive if placed behind low ones, not intermingled with them. (2) All plants closely allied should be grown together, not in the same row, but iu'rows'adjeiuing one another. (3) The 'fences may bo decorated with vine crops Which may be sup- ported on the fences by means of strings or .lattice work.. (4) A11 quickly maturing veget- ables should, bepiunted ie a portion of the garden by themselves so that tbey may, be, harvested end the ground used, fur .other Crops later on. The work of planning the garden to determine what . vegetables and how moon of each is to bo grown will be influenced by one's, individ- ual tastes. .One should grow an abundance of such crops as ono con- sumes the most.

TIIE iNTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, John xii, 1-11, Memory Verses, 2, 3—Golden Text, Mark xiv, 8—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The passover referred to in verse 1 was the last Om ere He laid down His lite as Christ our passover sacri- ficed for us and concerning which IIB said, "I have heartily desired to eat this passover with you Yore I suffer" (I Cor. v, 7; Luke xxil, 15, margin). Only six days before that the events of this evening transpired. Hgy,Is again in the home in Bethany to which Be loved to come, and they made Him a supper at which Martha Served, and Mary mast surely taave,holped, too, as well as doing the other groat thine recorded is our leseou. Lazarus, who had been -three or tour days in para. dfse, was there, too, but we have ns record of any utterance from him atter his return. It mutt have been with Mai, as with Paul, that it was not pawn -bit for him to utter what he had seen and heard (II Cor. xii, 4, margin). Mary, whose custom was to sit at His feet and hear His word whenever elm could find the opportunity, had ewi- dently taken 1t into her heart that be- cause of the cruel death He was to suffer no friends Bored be near Him at that,time and had therefore obtained some very costly ointment of spikenard with which to anoint Haim beforehand if she should fund opportunity. The occasion had now come and she was ready for it. He will never fail to pro- vide the opportunity for those who de - etre to minister to Elim. Putting the accounts in Matthew, Mark and John together we learn that she pouted the ointment on His head and on His feet mad wiped His feet with her hair. Because Luke does not mention this anointing, but does speak of an anointing and feet washing with tears in the house of a certain Simon by a woman who was u sinner, some have thought that Luke described .this anointing by Mary, but the incidents are wholly different, at a different time in His ministry and under altogether different circumstances. The name of the woman is the incident in Luke 1s not given, and we have no reason to give her a name. The Lord has left her unnamed. Le "e also do so, while we thank God. fn salvation, Re- turning to the ' nt of our lesson. .we note that the _rouse was tilled with the odor of the ointment (verse 8). We think of the sweet perfume that filled the holy place where priests minis- tered to the Lord day by day, and .we remember that the sacrifice of Christ Himself was unto God an odor of a sweet smell, and our service unto Him is spoken of in the same words (Eph. v, 11, R. V.; PhiL iv, 18). It should greatly cheer us to know that He looks upon our ministry in this way. He 'who reads the heart spoke of Mary's ministry as a good work wrought on Him and an anointing of His body beforehand for His burial, and added that wherever the gospel should be preached in all the world this world be her memorial' (Mark sive 6-0). Judas and some of the others Were indignant and. said, "To what purpose is this waste? This ointment might have been sold for more than 800 pence and given to the poor." Judas cared not for the poor, but he was the treasurer and a thief (verses 4-6; Matt, xxvi, 8, 0; Marl: xis, 4, 5). We are not surprised at his finding fault, bl?t it seems unlike true disciples to call anything done for the Lord a waste. Yet there are many professed follower's today who seem to think it all right to spend all they wish on themselves, but to give to the Lord by giving to the poor or to missions Is in their eyes at least unprofitable. flow comforting it must have been to glary to have Him say, "Let her alone; she hath done what she could!" (Mark xis, 6-8.) In much service for Him we may not have the approval of the lead- ers in chervil work, but if Ile approves that is all we should desire, taking as our motto II Tim, U. lo, with the stand taken 'by Paul in Gal: 1, 10; Thos. 4. It is most interesting to note that Mary of Bethany was the only woman who anointed His body for burial. Oth- er worsen bought spices for that pur- pose when it was too late, but never used them. for He had risen when they reached the tomb (Luke e xxiii, 55, 56; ' xxiv, 1.3). Nlcodemus provided about a hundred pounds weight of myrrh and aloes, in which he and Jo- seph. wrapped np the body ween tbey lovingly laid it in the new sepulcher in the garden, wborehl was never man yet laid (John xix, 88-42). In Martha, Mary and Lazarus on this occasion may be seen by combining theme what a well rounded Christian life ought to be. In Martha there 13 quiet ministry without being cumbered; in Mary the worship of true and be- lioving devotion, which is always cost- ly, for even David said, "I will not offer unto the Lord my Clod that which cloth cost me nothing" (II Sam, xxiv, 24). In Lazarus there is the power of a resurrection life, because by reason of him many of the ,sews went away and believed on jeans, but the chief priests consulted to put Lazarus again to death (verses 10, 11). Many came together et this . time simply to see a man alive who bad been dead and not for Jesus' sate only (verse 0), It is, well when our motto in all things is 'Tor testis' sake only," willing to be always delivered to death for Jesus' sake that the life of Jesus may be made -manifest In our mortal bodleS, 1101MIHROMINM1111111611113KONENSIOSINE1111 I "I entreat yeu to speak," he said OUR NEW SERIAL STORY ea simply. 56 THE TRUE LOVE OF Me "Oh, sir, you shame ale," burst out AARON BURR Bwrr.
