Canada. Edited by GRANT FLEMING, M.D., 'Associate Secretary CONVULSIONS ' Convulsions, or spasms,. may arise '1. .any one of many causes. Those conditions which . read to ehill in an : adult will often precipitate a convul- sion in a young child.. Convulsions not infrequently atoms at the onset of a communicable disease, during child- ' hood, as they do also when there is inflammation of the brain' or its cov - erings—encephalitis' and meningitis.' A convulsion strikes terror to the heart of those who witness it. It is well to remember that death rarefy -occurs during a convulsion, although the unconsit ons, tee:hehitig body which may turn blue appears to be in ea helpless condition. During the eonvulsfon; •the child -should be protected from, injury; a spoon `placed ,between .the teeth pro- tects the tongue from biting.

Epilepsy, a: disease which is mark- ed !ley periods of unconsciousness ae- conrpanied by convulsions, usually ,be- gine early in life. The cause of epil- • •epsy is unknown. I•Ieredity plays a • definite part. Some cases • are asso- ciated with chronic,alcdholism of the • parents. The typical attack of epilepsy Is ushered i by'an "aura", which is the eaeurrenee of some particular sensa- tion or feeling which precedes the -attack and, as such,; is recognized by 'the patient, The onset is sudden; --Guy Nevili in Canadian National, ' Railway .Magazine, Far those who did not cover their perennials in the fall, it is a very good plan to watch them closely at this time of the year, and as soon as one` sees that the blanket of snow is going, get busy with some dry litter and cover up the routs, It is at this time that so much .of the winter kil- ling is done: the sun gets a little strength in it and the sap stints to more and unless the roots are pro- tected sufficiently . to prevent this, chances are that the hard frost at night will do the harm. Some gardeners around this part find that strawberry- roots respond very well to the above treatment — that is no covering •on • their until February or March, consciousness is lost, the eyes roll up- ward, the face becomes purple and the body rigid for a few seeands; this is followed by jerky convulsive n3ove- ments. The attack Insts for several minutes, after which the patient sleeps from exhaustion. During the attack, the patient should be pro- tected from injury •through falling, striking objects, or, biting, the tongue. Jacksonian epilepsy' is a form of the disease that is due to irritation, of the brain following upon injury, The onset is seen in the twitching which begins at one particular point.:. Consciousness is not lost in most cas- es,' and if it is lost, it happens late to the attack. Petit mat is another forminwhich the loss of, consciousness is enomen- tary and there aro no convulsions. The patient ,stops talking or doing whatever he was engaged in, the eyes stare and the face is pale. After a second or two, the patient, resumes what he was doing, acid possibly Is somewhat dazed, Epilepsy is usually incurable CX - sept where the ill effects of an injury may be corrected by surgery.

Care of Children WEIGIiTS OF DAIRY BUTTER Mart altogether from 'butter in roIIs or lumps of indiscriminate weight as sold by farmers, there is one point with regard to other weights, of dairy butter that is apt to be overlooked, No ,tatter how many, hands packages of batter specified en the Dairy ;Industry Aub .and Regola- tions may pass through, the prints, blocks squares, or pats of butter when solid by all dealers must be ,of the full net weight. Consequently, if such packages of butter are likely to be held for some time before being sold to the consumer, it is 'important that Sutfieient allowance be made to take care of any shrinkage in weights which may take place • .before final sale. Otherwise, adjustments to. bring the weight up to legal stand- ards will be necessary. With reference to weights •of but- ter, the Dairy Industry Act and Re- gulations provide—"No person shall sell, offer or have in his possession for sale (a) any butter moulded or Cut into prints, blocks, squares or part.), unless !such plats, biiocks, squares •or pats are of the full net weight of .one-quarter, one-half pound one pound or two pounds, but noth- ing in this paragraph shall be held' to apply to butter in rolls or lumps of tindiscriminate' weight, as sold by farmers; (b) any butter packed in tins or other packages alleged to contain any definite weight of but- ter unless such package contains the full net weight of butter as alleged, exclusive of the weight of the pac- kage and of any paper, brine, or, other filling." It is the practice with many to make a small. sketch of their garden, and so plan ahead exactly where dif- ferent plants and seeds are to be planted in the spring. While this, perhaps, is not warranted in ,small gardens, the idea is worth passing a- long, It is, however, a mighty good plan to have a amental picture in your mindis eye of your garden and then (after you have thoroughly gone through the new seed catalogues) try and inclade a few new plants, shrubs, etc,, but don't do this at the expense of old and tried favorites. One nt the most interesting things in gar- doning, to my mind, is the expert, melding with something Clew—espec- ially perennials. It is a good plan to look over your seed flats now, making repairs where necessary, and see that they are thoroughly clean. It won't do any Harm to pour boiling water ova. them to kill any insect eggs •or disease germs, Check up on garden tools, a! little time spent sharpening hoes and spades and straightening out the tines of forks and racks now will be well repaid, in so far as the back is Concerned when you start using them in the spring. * * PAGE 7 p n Mamma= IOW NO Household Economics OUR RECIPES FOR TODAY *' Broiled 'Fillets • :i.

This is only one of the choice scenes that can be photographed in lovely Trinidad and the drive itself is very interesting, with a constant change of scenery. There is a track that winds through the mountain for several miles and those who like walking would not be disappginted in follow- ing it as long as they wish. Shaded by various types of trees, one en- joys the scenery at every angle or bend. The clrivo and walk through the woods have been conmnended by visitor's from many parts of North America and from Norway. During the ,tourist season "Lady Chancel- lor's Road" is a regular mecca for visitors, who arrive from Canada by the Canadian National Steamships.

If, however, you were to receive six and a half feet of railroad ticket you would think that you were really going to do soma travelling. It was a ticket of this length; the longest ever' issued Vancouver, that was handed over the counter recently at the ticket office of the Canadian National Railways, when a lecturer stepped up to pur- chase transportation for a tour throughout the West. The traveller was Edna Jacques, 'who left on a speaking tour of Western Canada un- der the auspices . of the Associated Canadian Chubs, Her itinerary op- ened at ,Pouee Coupe, in the Peace River blocic, and the tour, ends some five weeks later at Fort William, Ont. • If in Sweden you should happen to run across ,`Kron IIumnrer", you would discover none other than our old and popular friend Canadian canned lobster. There is a very in- teresting story behind the applica- tion of this name to this trade. Or- iginally Canadian canned lobster was introduced into 'Sweden, via Hamburg, in Germany, states the In- dustrial Department of the Canadian National Railways. The Germans stuck on a label which showed a large red lobster on a white background with a royal crown, and'. the words "Kronen . Hummer." In course of time the label became synonymous with canned lobster in Sweden. Lat- er, when Sweden began to import canned lobster direct from Canada, they adopted a similar label and translated the text into Swedish. "Kron Ilumenet," it is said, is the only brand- of lobster' known in Sweden at the present time, so that the "Kron Hummer" label will con- tinue to monopolize the market and Canadian' canned lobster will still be imported unlabelled, . The lobster fisheries of. Canada are centred in the Maritime Provinces. , There are, according to latest information, 103 canneries in Nova Scotia, 97 in New 'Brnnswiek and 87 in Prince Edward Island. 50 are located in the Pro vince of Quebec. There are none in any of the other provinces of Can- ada.

Even if Shelley wrote an ode about it and Schubert was inspired by it to compose a beautiful melody, the lark is just a bird that damages wheat and other crops. So declare the farmers in the 'vicinity of Norfolk. England, and they have started a war on the songster. The Norfolk' Agricultural Committee has excluded the bird from 'the new order under the Wild Birds Protection Act. Anyone there- fore may shoot it and have lark pie. "The skylark is a niee .bird; !but we can't live by listening to its music," said, George Hewitt, an agricultural leader. The larks are said to invade England in flocks from Germany and Russia,ree L 5 Nature Bunds Your Body -- but you supply the. materials. Wealth suffers if you run short of iron. Your food and drink are the only materials Nature gets to maintain bod- ily strength and well-being. But the tragedy of modern foods is their short- age of iron. Sooner or later this has an effect upon the health. It causes, at first, a run-down condition and simple' anemia; then develops into serious ait- reents, if not checked. This was shown to be true in a group of forty-five people whose blood was examined by a competent authority. In forty cases the blood was thinner and paler than it should have been, due to the shortage of iron, The authority who conducted the tests recorded the exact amount of the shortage, for each person, then put every one of them on ' a 30 -day treatment. The preparation he gave them was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills (called pink .because they have a pink sugar coating). In one month he examined' their blood again • and found that the ted corpuscles and the -iron had definitely increased in every case. This test is a demonstration of what. this fine old remedy can do for you,, if . , . as is likely you need iron. Wouldn't 'you Iike to feel really strong and vigorous again? Wouldn't you like to eat well, sleep soundly, take a keen interest it life around you ? Then put yourself on a 30 -day treatment with Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, Directly you begin taking this reliable old preparation, the recon- structive process will start. The blood will grow richer . . will cars -y more vitality ... and your own feelings will react pleasantly;. Old, aches, and off . days will give way to new vigor and brighter outlook on iife.
