But when found to be tubercular he was given his liberty. Apparently., abere was no provision for such cases.. Now, once more in court, he was pleading chat he be sent somewhere,. anywhere, for treatment, where some salvage, might. be made of his ruined life, or where, at least; he might be allowed to live out his remaining days. But he was reluotantly thrown back into the world from which he sought to escape. The officers of justice were Powerless to 'do otherwise—because 'there was no provisionfor such cases.' According to a reportrecently is- sued by the Federal Department of health, a very conservative estimate of the ,number of drug addicts in: Can- ada is 10,000: Estimating the cost of the average daily dosage of the consumer, the economic wastage Clue to the loss in earning power of drug addicts, the cost of 2,600' annual arrests made by police in Canada for offences, against the narcotics laws, and the court ex- penses, fees and salaries spent in bringing them to juetice, the enor- mous sum of $20,675,000 is arrived at as the price paid annually for nar- cotics in Canada.. "If only a smallfraction," the re- port goes on to say, "of the stoney thus wasted were spent in the estab- lishing of: hospitals' or other institu- tions, colonies or farms for the cure and, segregation of drug addicts, it would go a long way towards solving the problem of narcotism in this coun- try, and would prevent, to a very great degree, a lot of misery, suffering and crime, not only to our present day society, but to the generations yet un- born: The problem of the narcotic drug hahitin Canada has been traced back at least to the year 1880, when first statistics relating to it were made available, There are now in Canada at least 10,000 bound in abject and horrible slavery—a small city! And yet we have no provision for such cases! V Murdered by a Ring. Rings have been associated with many things, both happy and sinister. it was common in Roman times, and not by any means unknown in the Mid- dle Ages,: to make a rig the instru- ment of death. To carry enough pois- on in a hollow ring to destroy an in- tended victim was one of the recog- nized devices of crime. The signet ring is extremely an- cient, being found in Egyptian tombs. and among Roman deposits. They were more especially useful when writ- ing was the talent of scribes only, and when the only distinctive mark most men, even kings and nobles, could make was the impression of the signet ring on clay or wax. The signet ring largely lost its. usefulness when the adhesive flap of the envelope almost entirely superseded sealing -wax. The plain goldhoop, which we call a -wedding ring, is an imitation of the Roman sign of betrothal. For many Years it was customary in this coon try to inscribe a motto or "posy" with- in this gold hoop. The following are .specimen sentiments: "Our contract washeaven's act." "In thee, my choice, I do rejoice.". "God above, in- crease our love. Rings are seldom worn ou the thumb to -day, but in the fifteenth and six- teenth centuries the thumb was the fashionable "ring -finger." In life, as in a .football game, the principle to follow is "Don't cry, don't shirk; but hit the line hard.'—Theo- dore Roosevelt. . and the human system is nn engine, duiit what power a supply of milk has was 'trihingly demonstrated in (hi - It shows that all this talk of hygien- ists about milk being gone food for cap recently, when a locamotive was children and adults is no idle talk, but run by milk.

Calculations show that this substance' has about the same heat value as medium grades of coal. Several days, previous to the running of the "milk" train, a test of milk as fuel was made at one of the roundhouses of the Rock Island Road. To give the strange 'fuel a chance, a "warmed up" engine was taken. The steam gauge registered 135. Then 125 pounds of the lumped' milli was shovelled in and began to burn vigor- ously. One of the veterans of the roundhouse staff, on watching the ex- periment, exclaimed as the milk began to burn: "That milk stuff: beats any are I ever saw inside a locomotive. It: burns like oil." The steam gauge had started toclimb, and when it reached 200, the engineer who had fired the boiler, threw out his chest and said: "I have the honor of being the first man to fire a locomotive with milk." board, the pressure being kept una form by water: After a thousand years a rival in- strument made its appearance: This was of a aimilar pattern, but, instead of water, weights regulated the pres- sure.

'TALI CAS The parallel between milk as human fuel and engine fuel was pointed out, because after all, the human body is essentially a very intricate machine which ,requires the right kind of fuel as much, if not more than the iron and steel locomotive that pulls a train of cars on the tracks, If all these, young and old, who now use .tea and soiree, would stop, using these beverages and take nure milk instead, they, would soon find an improvement in their gen- eral health and would not regret add- ing the right kind of fuel for. the deli- cate engines of which our bodies are composed.

Here Is a little known stunt by which some per- son may pay his forfeit and pro- vide a vast amount of amusement dor the rest of the party, The person to pay the forfeit is taken out of the room and his friends seat themselves in two rows, facing each other. Each per- son presses the toe of one shoe against the toe of one of the shoes worn by the friend who faces him. The victim is brought in and he is told that he will be blindfolded and asked to walk between the two. rows. If, however, he steps on any one's toes, another forfeit will be demanded. The trick is that each person, as soonasthe victim is blindfolded ' draws his feet under his chair. The victim, unaware of this, passes be- tween the rows, endeavoring might- ily to miss the feet that aren't there, and so adding to the fun of the party.

In the ancient days of Greeceand Rome, a sneeze was supposed .to bear in its train far greater portents than a mere cold. To sneeze whilst rising from the table or bed was said to indicate ap- peraching death. Yet to sneeze be- tween midday and midnight under favorable planetary conditions was an augury of happiness,' Again, if the Greek or Roman turn- ed to the right while sneezing, it was regarded as a Happy omen.
