Van Dyke. It is monotony that kills. We sometimes' hear of people who die of hard work but I 'clpn't believe ' many seeple kill themselves working. Lots of the people who work the hardest are the healthiest and happiest peo- ple going. But they are the sort of people who introduce a bit of variety into their work. The doing of the same old thing every day is bound :o become . monotonous and house-. Keepers often think they have the most monotonous job going, but .hat is a mistake, Housework is much more varied than lots of jobs and, as the housekeeper can plan he own worlc, she should see that it loesn't become a dreary round. For it is a well-known fact that work which is performed by a bored and ;weary worker is not of as high a xuality as that turned out by a worker who is keen and alive to the So far -- and yet' „,po near! "I must call John by Long Distance and let him aknow, I gothere all right. Then neither of . us will be worry - lag. It's' wonderful to be able to visit you like this, nd yet keep as close touch with home as if I were there. What must it have been like in the old days, before Long Distance made it possible?"

The question as to whether women are "persons" is to be carried to the. Privy Council. The Supreme Court of Canada -recently decided that Wo - Men were net included in the ,word "perspns'' in the B.N.A but, some western women were not satisfied and permission was asked and has been granted to carry the case to England. ': Taking to task the American and Canadian medical colleges for their alleged insufficient teaching in obstetrics, 'Dr, A. M. Mendenhall of Indianapolis, charged before , the Association of Obstetricians; •Gyne-. colgists and Abdominal Surgeons re Gently that ten_ per cent, of the. deaths in obstetrical cases were dir- ectly traceable to operations. Dr. Mendenhall stated that thirty-five per cent. of the practice: of young doctors was in the field of obstetrics and declared that only four per cent.' of the teaching hours of the average medical course was devoted to this branch of surgery. Canadians are becomingvery' much ,concerned, and rightly so, over the high rate of deaths amongst woman in childbirth.

Both the Greeks and Romans had little squares of linen, antes- ters, no doubt, of :oar modern hand- kerchief.

They do not hesitate to send their good money away for many things they need, and which could just as sat- isfactorily and much more prompt- ly be supplied- by their home mer- chants and dealers. No business, no matter of what nature; can -long exist on this sort of patronage. Nor _ is it fair to expect that it should. 'tale public expect to receive services ag and when thay demand jt; but many do not do their part in malting this possible. - There are manufacturing industries with fairly complete equipment wi}ich becajrse of such lack 'of consideration, are idle much of, the time.
