In cane a companion is not present the res- cuer holds one end of the rope' and throws the othei end to the person in. the water, If the person is not strong enough to grasp' the rope, it is pos- sible to'pass one end of. the rope around your own body and the other one around a tree on the shore and. crawl to'the person who has ,broke through the ice.' en y Ii e ni n1 I r-1 n t�� population.

These isolated cases are evidence of an approaching storm which may be delayed, but - which on the other hand'' is liable to burst forth into a regular epidemic at any time. 'Unless people guard themselves by vaccina- tion, smallpox will find a 'fertile field for reaping a grim •toil,,in Ontario this winter. I When an epidemic does occur, it usually starts mildly enough, but in. a short time the entire community is threatened. Such an epidemic occur - 11 red only recently in Hudson in Michi- gan. An '.epidemiologist- was accord- ' despatched to the scene by the State Department' of . Health, but when he arrived there he found a rigorous program of vaccination al- ready under_ way. School children were treated thus, then the factory "There ars other methods whereby o Si a skater may be reached who has broken through the ice.

Broken trees and saplings can be thrown to the vietini and be so arranged across the hole byy himself that he can rest on the sapling and extricate himself from his difficult position. In case you break through and go completely under the ice, open lour eyes and look above so that when you come up you can head for the brightest spot of light cast by the break in the ice.

Three Awards for Life Saving.

The removal of the Russian cap tf to Moscow meant a sentence of !, against Petrograd, which is an ientire- ly artificial city. Without a 111"'geogra- phical or economic adv ages, built on a marshy swamp, p riodioally de- vastated by Roods, t1re;Iijormer capital owed Its existence toj? 'the Rat of Peter the Great: It co_ survive only as a city of luxuryy''and pleasure, a3 a centre of the •oijurt and of society, of the bureauenacy and of the -army. Other; Eur',eyjiean cities like - Trieste, .Riga aJ74 Vienna ,saw the currents of corni•cial life diverted from them af- t d'tlre World War, but their prosper- y: ens days euro to e y return. On the contrary, Petrograd, having lost its no- aa' oas litical importance as the capital of an 'empire, ,ran never recover. It can neither be revived nor transformed; It can'never adapt itself to the new con- dltions, In • the near future tourists will visit the ruins of Petrogred:.as. our forefathe s would contemplate'the pubs of riredieval Remo. `;After,'elx.

For Petrograd was built on an even more colossal scale than 'Moscow: • Even more than Moscow it is a city of palaces and granite embankment, of spacious parks --and treasu•ree of; art. Its cyclopean monuments 'were the ex- pression of a despotic will which con-'. trolled the labor of .countless slaves. Think of .the Winter' Palace, the ljrrg- est royal residence in the' world. Burned down In 1837, within twelve menthe it was rebuilt a$ a cost of a hundred millidnd of money and thous- ands of human lives.

Guest. WEAK ANAEMIC WOMEN groups were vaccinated first. All known cases were quarantined, report- ed cases were investigated and the local motion picturo houses rendered aid fit spreading advice oa what to do. Too much, praise cannot be accord- ed a community for taking hold as Hudson did in her time of emergency, A few days of prompt and vigorous .1 repressive measures on the. part of the hes th officer and local author-' ities marked a change for the better' ' and the disease is now under control. 1 j The epidemic shows the worth of vaccination as a smallpox preventive. I The disease was stamped out in the Phillipine Islands in 1898,.through; vaccination and quarantine. Only with the coming of forgetful, newer gen- t erations, has smallpox been returning Ito the Islands. Periodic vaccination practiced everywhere would obliterate smallpox from the earth, Choral Music Needs En- couragement. Choral music in Canada requires a staunch backing from the people who can afford to offer their means as a furtherance of this kind of music There are many many choruses vary. ing from good to very bad, but there are so few that are really remarkable that they may be easily counted. As it is now, in some larger places the . cho•ruses are partly paid, due to the inability to secure the right sort of singers. The results of such a chorus rehearsing several times a week would be amazing. The average amateur society has but one rehearsal a week, with usually a large percent- - age of ,absentees, and makes but little artistic progress front year to year Thus these societies are unable to pro duce the greatest choral works, which often lie unnoticed for many years. On the whole,' choral music is -badly in need of strenuous improvement. Reasons for Growth of Auto- mobile Production. 1. Time -saving is 'a major factor in modern buslnese. 2.

It Is so often stormy that the mother does notget him out in the fresh air as often as she should. He catches colds which rack his little system; his stom- ach and bowels getout of order and he yecome0.-pd8n1S1r and cross.

What They Need to Restore Good Health and Vitality. The woman who feels tired out, who aches all over when she glees in the morning, who feels depressed most of the time, needs the help that Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills can give her—new, rich blood and stronger nerves. The number of disorders caused by poor blood is amezing, and most women are careless about the condition of their blood. Their nerves are quickly af- fected; they worry over trifles and do not obtain refreshing sleep. There may be• stomach troubles and• head- aches; shortness of breath and a flut- tering of the heart. This is a condi- tion that palls for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, the blood -improving, nerve -re, storing tonic. Mrs. 'William Henry, Lovett Street, London, Ont., has proved the vahro of these pills, and says: "I had a very severe attack of anaemia. I was always tired and the least thing would make me sick at the stomach. I could hardly go about and suffered terrible pains in my legs from cramps. I had no color in my face and was as white as ar sheet. The doctor gave me several ]rinds of medicine, but could not understand why I did not get results from -it. ..Then I went to a hospital and ,w.as there for three months, but came home no better than when I went. • My friends were wor- ried and feared consumption. While I was still in this condition a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' ,Pink Pills, I tried them and after a time felt they were helping me, and I glad- ly continued their' use, and am thank- ful to say that I am again a well wo- man, and I firmly believe that had It, not been for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I would not have got better." The new sales tax will not increase the price of. Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, as the company pays the tax, You can still obtain the pills through any medi- cine dealer at 60 cents a box, or by mail, post' paid, at this pride, from The, Dr. Williams' Medicine Co,, Brock- ville, Ont, Where it Comes From. Violinists often wonder,no doubt, d ub whence conies the hair on the bows, without which the most eloquent Stradivarius violin is practically voice- less. r The Scientific American informs us that horses are bred in Russia for this purpose. The finest bows are con- structed with hair from white horses, and special ranches are maintained for the breeding of horses whose hair is of that color. The primary sorting of hair takes place at the ranch, from which it goes to the bleacher, who bleaches the hair with sulphur. , It !abound up in hanks of 100 to 150 hairs, and the hanks are then ready for export. One hank us- ually goes to a bow. .0n arrival at the bow factory, or the repair room of a large dealer, the hair is combed and fixed on the end With shellac. The hair is straightened out by means of a special comb. Remit by -Dominion Express Money Order. If lost or stolen you get your money bank. Small Child—"Mumsey, do come and look!

Thomas Landseer, brother of .Sir Edwin,.. the lamou'sanimal painter, was, one of those amusing but discon- certing persons who not only are ab- sent-minded buthave the habit of un- coneciously uttering aloud thought and comments that they have'nointention of making public. ''Called upon once to view' a landscape by a friend, an ama- teur of no more than mediocre ability, he politely said what he honestly could in praise of a miner detail here and there.- Then, much pleased with bmaelt that he. had so tactfully es- caped the ordeal; he murmured a few inarticulate hum's and ha's, took a final look and as he turned away, said under his *breath but quite audibly, "Poor chap! Poor chap! And he thinks he can paint!" Even more embarrassing were his remarks upon another painting; this time by a distinguished .portrait paint- er, whose subject was also a man of distinction as well as of high rank, but one *hose physiognomy was decidedly more striking than beautiful. ' " The gentleman, who was heavily bearded, hada rather fiat nose and heavy over- hanging brows beneath whlch gleamed a pair of small but dark and piercing eyes. Thomas Landseer viewed the portrait with interest and expressed cordial admiration of its execution. Then, to the dismay of artist and sub- ject, both of whom were present, he strolled casually away and, pausing in front of another portrait, one of a charming woman, communed with himself, but audibly:, "Ah, that's better! That's better! The other was a good pleoe of work, but not quite in X's line, They ought to have called in ilidwiu to paint an old chimpanzee like Lord Blank!" Fortunately Lord Blank was a "chim- panzee" with a sense of humor. Ho burst out laughing and insisted that Thomas, . whose apologies when he found he had spoke❑ aloud were sin- cere and horrified, should by way of atoneinent take him to visit his brother's studio. The visit led in turn to both brothers visiting later the peer's castle. There Sir Edwin exe- cuted a splendid portrait, not of the owner, it is true, but of his three dogs. How to Handle Battery. If you use a storage battery you probably have seen the effect of a spilling acid on floors or carpets, . Got a small box, or build one, say three inches larger all around than your bat- tery. Paint or stain the outside to match the furniture. Paint the inside with several coats of heavy paint, or. asphaltum paint, if possible. Have no open cracks. Put casters or easy -slide knobs on the bottom of the box. It. will keep the battery safe, keep acid off the floor and afford a place to keep a receptacle for the hydrometer and a small bottle of: distilled water, all to- gether and all safe. -G. M. C.
