Frances Scott, of tate department of Hygiene at Smith; chairman of the conintittee on in- formation of the American Student Health Assdciation. The knowledge and good sense of the students was tested on matters pertaining to exercise, food, posture, proper clothing, sufficient sleep, nutri- tion, &rst aid and mental hygiene. Nutrition bodily mechanics and com- municable diseases were emphasized.. In responding to each question the students were asked to choose the Most logical of three answers suggest- ed. knowledge of bodily mechanics was revealed in a choice of whether "the ideal weight for any individual is best indicated bythe standard tables of average weights, the current fashion iu figures or signs of good health and endurance." According to the test, appetite was either "au in- stinct teIIing us what we should eat, an uueontrollable desire always to be followed, or a cultivated taste quite controllable." Understanding of mental hygiene was judged by the answer to the statement that "ner- vous breakdowns are caused by ex- cessive study, disappointments or fail- ure to solve one's emotional prob- lems."

The best alkali known to medical science is Phillips' Milk of Magnesia. It has remained the standard anti-dcid with physicians in the 50 years since its invention.

To Be Big Industry Australians Find Latest Im- portation to Be Highly Profitable Fruit fanners in Australia are now finding that lemons aro ono of the most profitable lines whiclethey can take up. The trees bear all the year round, and the fruit is in constant demand. .Profits work out at about $1,000 an acre. - There has been much publicity given to "pests," like the prickly pear and the blackberry, which have laid waste vast areas in the Antipodes, that it is as well to consider the other side of the picture occasionally._ For the lemon, like the two "nuisances" men- tioned above, is an importation. On balance, the Australasians have benefitted enormously by the experi- ments made in introducing new trees and plants. Oranges, like lemons, have Proved a very profitable crop—and apple -growing is one of the great in- dustries "down under." Yet when apple trees were first planted in Aus- tralia mogt people thought the venture was simply silly. MAKING A PEST USEFUL. They changed their minds later on —when the fruit began to appear, and the pioneers reaped the harvest they deserved. The apples grown in West- ern Australia sold for $5 each. Accidental importations .may also turn out well, though, naturally, we hear more about those that don't. A case of the first kind was the straw- berry clover, which obtained a footing in Australia in rather a curious way. A piano had been -sent out from Ire- land. It was duly unpacked, and the packing was thrown out. But this packing contained SO; 48 of the straw- berry clover' They germinated, . and the plants appeared. They found Aus tralian conditi-ns suitable, and the. Australians, on their side, found the new arrival useful. So today straw- berry clover is cultivated in Victoria. Even a plant importation which has been condemned as a pest may be of some value. Prickly pear is cultivat- ed in Corsica and California, and some experts believe that it may yet prove useful even in Queensland, where its. spread has caused great losses. Already a vegetable alcohol on which cars can be run has been ob- tained from it, while the leaves yield a size which will, stand up agalns, tropical rain.

'Incidentally, it is ultimately the only condition of real success in busi- ness, So we are careful to betruthfat with our little ones: and to keep faith with them whenever: we make them a promise. But we need noton that account be terribly upset when; we first find out a child in some little variation of the truth. A great deal of.•uneonscious cruelty may be perpetrated if we fait, to realize that a child's intelligence: is limited, and that it is incapable of thinking along grown-up lines,al- though it will imitate. Here is a case in point. Molly, aged six,was passionately fond of a Teddy- bear that had sharedher joys and sor- rows from babyhood. He was very shabby and had lost oneof his eyes, while one ear hung, by a thread, Fail- ing to understand that he was the more endeared to his owner br these accidents,an aunt presented' Molly with a and gorgeously colored monkey.. Molly, as she. bad been taught to do, thanked the donor pret- tily; but the moment her aunt's back was turned she put the smart "new- comer on' the top of a bureau and hug- ged d NoticingTedy. that the new toy never ac- companied. the child for a walk, the aunt was told "he was tired, and bad to rest," or that "he had a cold." On being asked the straight question, "Don't you like your new monkey?" Molly raised•blue eyes In perfect, in- nocence and said, "Oh, yes. He's per- fec'ly lovely .. . . but he isn't very well to -day." "An absolute Ile, for she hates the thing," said her mother, worriedly, "and I ,can't decide whether to scold her for being deceitful or not" Most parents'wili praise Molly for the delicate way she tried to avoid giving pain, rather than blame her for the deceit.
