Toronto While the Canadian National Exhi- bition was in full swing last' Fall a• very interesting stranger had a talk with me in the Provincial Board of Health's exhibit in the Government building.' He was an Englishman, well educated and well read, who was in Toronto paying a visit to his son.

Some of the greatest poets have not disdained to write lullabies. here are two cradle -songs, the first by Sir Wal- ter Scott, tate second by Lord Tenny- son: Oh, hush thee, ,my babie, thy sire was a knight, Thy mother a lady, both lovely and bright; The woods and the glens, from the towers which we see, '° They all are belonging, dear babie, to thee. Oh, fear not the bugle, though loudly it blows; It calls but the warders that guard thy repose;• Their bows would be bended, their blades would be red, Fire the step of a Rieman drew near to thy bed. Oh, hush thee, my babie, the time soap will come When thy sleep shall be broken by trumpet and drum; Then hush thee, my darling, take rest while you may, For strife comes with manhood, and waling with day.

This visitor to the Fair had a sug- gestion and an inquiry of his own to offer.

Second: It has been sug- gestedthat the alleged increase of cancer has coincided with intensive production by machinery, commonly associated, as it is, with a compare- tively sedentary life of the operators. Third: One might hazard such an- other suggestion as the poisoning of the air of cities by carbon monoxide fumes from the exhaust of motors :With its deterioration or lowering of health. Fourth: The "wearing out" 'of`our body cells due to the greater intensity of modern life inducing a ,much earlier pre -senile state which ''we know is conducive to malignant disease. Fifth: Notwithstanding that serums and vaccines have been used for more than thirty years, no single case has been reported associating their use with cancer. Sixth: Coley's Fluid, as you know, lies been used for at least thirty years for the. treatment of sarcoma. So it would seem as far as our present knowledge goes that serum inoculation is not associated in any way with the cause of cancer. TEETHING TROUBLES Baby's teething time ie a time of worry' and anxiety to most mothers. The little ones become crass; peevish; their little stomach .becomes deranged and constipation and colic set's In. To make the teething period easy on baby the stomach and bowels must be kept sweet and regular. This Can be done by the use of Baby's Own Tablets— the ideal laxative for little ones. The Tablets are a sure relief for all the minor ailments of childhood such es constipation, colic, Indigestion, colds and simple fevers. They always do good—never harm. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr.'Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. • "There's Something Better in Me." A year ago an employee in an ordin- ary position in a large concern` said to himself, "There's something better in methan this, and I'm going to get it to Work for me!" Ile didn't wait for his resolve to weaken or his' enthusiasm to grow cool, and although a wife and. two children were dependent upon him threw up his job then and there and started' out for himself. To -day this man is doing splendidly in a business of his own, all because he had the faith to act on the belief that there was something better in him than he had been called upon to use in his de- pendent position as an ordinary em-. ployee. "- - Thousands of bright,aatbffloue em- ployees know per? -tatty well that there is bomethingbetter in them than they are ..using," but doubts and fears, the dread of uncertainty, the fear of ridi- cule it they should tail, hesitation to assume unaccustomed responsibility, to take the risk of starting out for themselves, pulling .up stakes and risk- ing everything on the chance of sue- ceeding—prevents :hent from acting on their belief that there is something better in then}. So they hang on to their jobs, hang on year In and year out, every year thinking that the next •Tear they will surely start out for themselves, but the years go on and before they realise it they are in the Clutch of a habit which, dayby day, grows stronger and stronger until they find it practically impossible to break away. Just think this over, and see if it isn't true in your own case. If you feel that there's something bigger and better in you than you have been us- ing; if you feel that you have not yet done the best thing, possible to you, why don't you have a heart to heart talk with yourself and see what is holding you back? Why don't you find it? Don't wait until it is too late. Now is the time to find and bring out the. larger pian or woman within that is clamoring for expression. -0. S. Marden. The Cost of Touchiness.

As the blood Im- proves in quality the tissues osthe body are better nourished and the functions of the body are better per- formed.' This is the reason Dr. Wil - tiaras' Pink Pills have been so suc- cessfnl in the treatment of diseases due to poor, thin blood, and it Is also the reason wily they are so suoce eful in building up strength after fevers and acute diseases, Among those who have used Dr, Williams' Pink Pills with great advantage is Mrs. Helena B. Taylor, Hanover, Ont., who says; °Not long ago I was critically ill. The trouble started with anaemia and a run-down system, and ended`• with pleurisy. I was 'ooni1ned to my bed for three months and three doctors. were in a'ttesulanoe at different times. My life was despairee of, and I was practically living on doctors' medicine, because 1 could not eat. My friends did not expect me to recover. During. my girlhood Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had brought me through a severe at- tack of anaemia, and my mother urged that 1 should try them again, The doctor could not understand why we wanted to try thesce pills, but we de- cided to do so. After taking nix boxes a decided change was taking place. I was actually getting hungry and anxi- ous to live. After using twelve boxes a miracle was worked. I could walk and felt my strength coming back, and people on all sides were asking what was helping me, and we .wens not slow in telling them it was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills: With my health fully re- stored through the use of these pills I am a striking example of what this. wonderful medicine can do, and now 1 never see e; pale or slokly-looking girl or woman that I do not feel like "going up to her+ and eeking why she does not take Dr. Wil'liema' Pink Pills." You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 60 dents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Abbot, in charge net the astrophysical laboratory of the Smithsonian Institu- tion. The so-called 'sun spots are pro- duced by a stirring of the sun's outer layer. By comparing measurement of solar radiation with photographs of the sun he has found that there is an in- crease in heat radiated by the sun on the same day that sun spots form, grow or are brought into view on the visible disk of the sun by rotation.
