Long before the papers were off the press, before daylight, the cities, towns and villages - of the greater part of the Civilized World, were in an uproar. What did the blowing of train whistles, the shrieking of sirens,. the ringing of bells, the shouting of humanity mean? To many minds it suggested the end of the Great War, but to thous- ands of fathers and mothers it meant the return of their sons from the scene of battle. It meant that the anxious hours were practically over. It was not long before the troops began coming hone and bravely they marched, but as they filed past, in imagination, one saw those who bad gone so heroically away with them, but who bad not come back. The tragedy of it all! On the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice we are observing Remembrance Day. We are honoring the memory of those who paid the supreme sacrifice in order that we might live in freedom. We realize that this honor of Remembrance be- longs not only to those who will not none back, but also to those who have returned, many of them to live through days, months and years of suffering and torture, both physical and mental. The majority of the soldiers of '14- 18 who have come back are carrying with them constantly some reminder of those awful days, but they are bravely facing their life task with no wish for favor or partiality. Those who have died for their Country and those who . are carrying on in their respective districts are today still throwing down to us the Botanists anticipate the first weeks of Winter with real pleasure, for then is the time that the cone -bearing ev- ergreen trees and shrubs may be stu- died with concentration --the pines, hemlocks, spruces, firs, sequoias, cy- presses, cedars and junipers. The pines and their relatives (coni- fers) are an ancient race; they are said to have existed before the ad- vent of broad-leaved trees. Coal measures reveal the fossil remains of prehistoric conifers which had reach- ed their prime when the more vigor- ous broad-leaved trees appeared and drove thein to the swamps, mountains and sea coasts: All members of the pine family are either trees or shrubs, varying from ,tow creeping forms (junipers) to the largest forest trees (red cedars). Most species of the group are ever- green, with hard -surfaced leaves, ei- ther needle-like or scale -like in form. The flowers, which appear in the spring, are of two kinds: the male or pollen flowers and the -female or ovulate flowers. After the pollen is shed in clouds of yellow dust the Male flowers usually drop off, though they may sometimes be found in a withered condition clinging to a branch. The female flowers grow in- to the familiar - cones. The cones, when mature,- liberate the ripened seeds, .which are often provided with a thin membraneous, wing -like ap- pendage for dispersal by wind. The seeds of . several species of pine are said to be edible. The pine family is of great econ- omic importance and it has claimed the aesthetic attention of writers and artists clown through the ages.- Who has not beard of "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine,' admired well-known paintings' of pines,and read of the romantic soughing nines, In the Book of Kings it is said of a member of the family: --"And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that as c.. Lebanon even unto the hyssop that, springeth out of the wall." The Ce- dar.. of Lebanon is 'not a. Canadian species. It is anticipated, however, that fu- ture articles will discus5. the identity and economic importance of some Canadian species which may be en- countered during those winter ram- , Hes that botanists :love so well when "It is nipping• andaneager air." - But hark!

PEG BOTANICAL NOTES FOR NOVEMBER (Experimental Farms Note) "The month of November And the weather a subject for prayer. It is difficult for plant -lovers to understand why the poets malign this month. Thomas Hood is particularly abusive. In his opinion there is: "No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease— No comfortable feel in any member No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees, No-vember!" Nevertheless November undoubted- ly posseses charm.

Holley Four-year-old George was deeply absorbed in malting- something with his tinker toys. I wondered what it might be and paused for a few more.- eats oments beside, him to watch: Soon he' looked up smiling and explained, "It's a wagon, Mother. See! This is where you back the horses in." I knew at once what had led him to want to construct a wagon. - We had just returned from a visit to his grandparents. While there, George had watched the horses being hitched to the wagon and grandpa had taken him for a ride. He was living the experience all over again now in his play. He viewed his tinker -toy wagon very thoughtfully. "Now I need a horse," he said. • Ile looked around for something to fi11 this need and decided to make a horse from a little set of wooden blocks that. were intended for making dolls. There was no piece large e- nough for the body, btth 'he spied a round ice-cream container among his playthings and was sure it would do. With a' little help from his older broth- er, who cut holes in the box where legs could be pushed through, the horse was fashioned and back between the shafts of the tinker -toy wagon, where it was made secure with some string that also served as the reins. The child was happy over his success in making a toy horse and wagon and pulled them about from one room .to another. Play of this kind has interested George for several months how. As new activities come within the range Of his experience he eagerly tries to dramatize then. This is a normal im- pulse. To be sure, some children do not show so strong a desire to imi- tate, but opportunities to do so should be given to them constantly. Parents fail, often to understand such play and to see the possibilities that it holds for the child's growth. Consequently, they often overlook his need for alarger range of experiences. Ile will profit richly by being taken on excursions of one kind and anoth- er, suited to his age, where he can see new sights, hear new sounds, and observe a wide variety of activities. Ideas for things he can do and the 'things he can make himself come thick and fast after such experiences. If he is supplied with blocks, toy auto- mobiles, and perhaps a train ,he will live over in his play much that he has seen. If he has a hammer, and some nails, a little saw, and scraps of lum- ber, he will work for long periods of time making things, gaining rapidly in the ease and confidence with which he is able to carry out his ideas, and in skill in using his hands. There are other advantages, too, of- ten overlooked. His vocabulary will increase to take, in all the words de- scribing his new experiences. His speech will improve as he has more to talk about. He becomes more self- reliant. He does not have to ask, "What shall I do. now, Mother?" for the days are scarcely long enough for all the interesting things he finds to do. Furthernone, problems of behaviour have little opportunity to develop when a boy or girl is so happily occu- pied. Arany a child who has struggled seemingly with but little success, to overcome bad habits, has been lifted quite above them and they have van- ished, when his world was enlarged and he found himself confronted with new and. challenging outlets for his energy.

HOW TO FLY THE FLAG Armistice and such like days always make us feel that we should know a little more about our flag than we do and the manner in which it should be, flown. The Union Jack is a symbol of so much that is great and precious that it is always becoming to treat it. with the greatest respect and rever- ence. And this calls for the exercise of formality and etiquette. The fol, lowing- rules of flag etiquette, com- piled with the authority of the De- partment of National Defence, will therefore be of interest and will repay clipping and preservation: ACCIDENTS AND COMPENSATION There were 6,556 accidents reported t o The Workmen's Compensation Board during the month of October, as cornpa'red with 6,876 during Sep- tember, and 5,726. during October a year ago. The benefits awarded amounted to $585,314.60, of which $466,243.03 was for compensation and $119,071,57 was for medical aid. • Td date this year there have been 58,225 accidents reported to the Board as compared with 50,371 during,the same period last year, and the bene- fits,awarded to date this year amount to $5,014,570.57, as against $4,458,- 104.76 4,458;104.76 to the end of October last year. l 1. The only authorized flag for,use on land, throughout the British. Em- pire, is the Union Flag, commonly dal - led the Union Jack. 2. The Union Flag is the National Flag of Canada as of all other parts of His Majesty's Dominion, and may be flown by all British subjects (Can- ada Gazette, vol. XLV, page 4674). 3. The Red Ensign, with the arms of the Dominion of Canada in the fly is intended to be used by Canadian merchant vessels and may be display- ed - on suitable - occasions from all buildings owned or occupied by the Canadian Government and situated without Canada. (By order -in -coun- cil, Jan. 26, 1924). 4. Ships owned by, the Canadian Government departments use the Bri- tish Blue Ensign with the Canadian coat of arms in the fly. 5. Ships of. the Royal Canadian Navy fly, at the stern, the British White Ensign; and at the bow the Canadian Blue Ensign. 6. The Royal Canadian Air Force is authorized to use the Royal Air Farce Ensign, ofwhich the following is the correct description: "Light blue, in the dexter canton the Union, and, in the centre of the fly of the flag three roundels superimposed, red up- on white upon blue." 7. The flag should not be hoisted be- fore sunrise, nor allowed to remain up after sunset. 8. In hoisting the flag, the broad white strip in the cross of St. Andrew should be next the mast head; if re- versed, it is an indication of distress. 9. When the Union Flag and other flags are displayed together as in street decorations, the Union Flag should fly to the north on streets run- ning east and west, and to the east on streets running north and south. 10. It should always be carried up- right and never allowed to touch the ground. 11. When being raised at half-mast the flag should first be raised to the mast head and then lowered. 12. For indoor decorations, the flag may be caught up in many artistic fashions and used with bunting, gar- lands, etc., but it should never be below a person sitting. 13. It should never be used as a cover for table, box or desk, and nothing should be placed upon it. 14. When the flag is used at the un- veiling of a statue or tablet, it should not be allowed to- fall to the ground, but should be raised and al- lowed to wave, forming a feature of the ceremony. 15. When troops with uncased col- ors are passing, spectators should stand at attention, and all male Brit- ish subjects should raise their hats, 16. When the' National Anthem. is played or sung, all persons within hearing should stand at attention, men with heads.uncovered. Note -The "Jack" is a flag to be flown only on the "Jack Staff," i.e., a staff on the bowsprit or forepart of the. ship. It is believed "Jack" is de- rived from the abbreviated name of the reigning sovereign, King James I., under whose direction the flag was constructed, and who signed his name "Jacques." HOME IMPROVEMENT LOANS Ottawa, October 28th: --Honourable C. A. Dunning, Minister of Finance, announces that Home improvement loans in cities and towns of Canada with population of 5,000 or upward. numbered 18,258 and - amounted to $7,420,379.95 on September! 30th, ac- cording to reports sent in by the lending institutions. These tetals should not be confused with those covering loans for all Canada (both rural and urban) under the plan, which - numbered 26,686 and amounted to $10,385,035,48 on Octob- er 15th last.

To get the utmost in flavour and quality from tea is an art, but it is an art in which anyone can produce a masterpiece: by following these sire - pie directions: Run the `cold' tap a few seconds be- fore filling your kettle (never use stale water or water :from the 'hot' tap). See that the water it boiling furiously and not ' just steaming. Scald out a crockery tea-pot,measure in to it a teaspoonful of good quality tea for 'each person and one for the pot, add the boiling water and steep for five minutes before serving. Nothing else soothes our tired bo- dies or give us the same comfort and pleasure that we get from.a good cup of tea. Surely it is Worth our while to make it carefully.

A HEALTH seavice OF rue CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA HEADACHE Pain means that some injury is being done the body. The body may suffer from certain forms of injury without experiencing pain. The se- verity of the pain may have no re- lationship to the severity of the in- jury. For all practical purposes, we! may take it as a safe guide that pain , is a reliable sign of danger in that it indicates harm or injury to the body. One form of pain with which most people are familiar is headache. Headaches, like other pains, mean , that something i s wrong inside the body, There are many va- rieties of headache described as sharp. or dull,' frontal or occipital (front or back of head), morning or even- ing. Headache is the most common symptom which: we experience. There is practically noillnless which may not give rise, to headache. It is often the first evidence ;of the onset of dis- ease. Even more often it is the re- sult of indiscretions in eating or drinking, lack of exercise, constipa- tion, or neglect of some other health need of the body. If a headache is "severe or annoy - Ing, it is quite natural that relayl should be sought. In many ways, the public are informed as to how relief from pain may be secured by She use of this or that drug. Drugs however, are of value only when properly used, that is, when prescrib- ed by someone wlio knows the con- dition of the patient and the action of the drugs. The victim of headache who knows that his headache has resulted front obvious causes from previous experi- ence has no reason to seek medical aid. If it Ts exercise or fresh air he needs, -then he knows where to get these; he can look after his, diet and elimination if they are at fault. There is another group of persons who, in spite of taping reasonable care of their bodies, suffer from per sistent, severe or repeated headaches. Such a person is very foolish to re- ly upon self-medication. - These forms of headache are so often.'' a symptom of abnormal states inside the body that he should seek. the cause rather than merely treat the headache. ' One of the most common causes of headache is eye -strain, which can be relieved by properly -fitted, glasses and in no other way. It is obvious ' that if a particular; headache is a symptom of anaemia or nephritis, or if it, is due to emotional causes, if the, treatment is to be successful it must be directed towards the re- sponsible cause. Do not overlook the possible ser- iousness of headache. Attend to it premptly, and properly, and save . yourself trouble.
