Public Stealth mat- ters through this column. Address him at Spadina Ilouee, Spadina Crescent, Toronto, lie Once in a while our set ideas about [efficiency ficiency receive something of a shock. In a" large industrial plant one of the chief aids to efficiency is the good health of the workers, and in these days of strenuous health props ganda, one would expect to find every means taken to safeguard the health ' of the workers. A few days ago I visited one of the largest industria plants in the world. IIere, thought I would be efficiency reduced to a fine art. nivel cog would be oiled and running smoothly, and every work- man would be on the job. This was aetually the situation as far as pro- duction was concerned. There was no delay in the output of the product. The workings of the various, depart- ments was a model of efficiency and co-operation. The thousands of work- men were all busy at their respective jobs and each man knew his own par- ticular work well and was doing it we'.�1, Eut from the standpoint of health, it was a the matter. .As I pass- ed along from .department to depart- ment; there were many conditions no- ticeable that could be improved upon ,from the health standpoint. To begin with, there was the question of vary- ing temperatures. Now it is very dif- ficult to maintain a uniform temper- (ature in different parts of the work- shop, especially one where there are furnaces and ovens. The point is that the material for such work should be stored in the room where the furnace or blow -pipe is, so that the workmen do not need to go and transport the unfinished material to the scene of op- eration. This is exactly. what I saw happening. ^ Men working!, before a Alberta towns and an additional acre- age of 2,346 put under•, preparation: Probable Erection of Plant. All summer a field expert of the promoting company was in the area superintending the planting and other operations, ad aiding the farmers with advice. Recently representatives of the company made a ,survey of these plots and declared themselves entirely satisfied with the prospects. As a re -i suit it is understood that a sugar beet plant will definitely be erected in Southern Alberta some time next year, merely tine location of this establish- ment being in question, though the city of Lethbridge is thought to be favored. At the sametime attention has been directed to other areas in the same regard. Experiments carried on for years have established the fact that a sugar beet of unsurpassed quality can be produced in Manitoba, the soil of the Red River Valley, similar to that about Grand Forks in North Dakota, where the culture has been succese- fully established, being particularly , .well adapted to beet production. In- vestigations have been carried on in this area all summer by two repre- sentatives of an American concern, and it is considered a distinct proba- bility that in the near future a plant for the manufacture of beet sugar will be established at, Winnipeg.Plans have already been made to line up the farmers to produce a sufficient quan- tity of beets and an endeavor is. being made to interest local capital in the establishment of such a plant, hot fire had to get from a distance the iron bars which were to be heated. In -several eases they were required, in ' getting the material, to pass through a cool; even draughty corridor, leav- ing' them liable to catch colds, pneu- - monis, "lumbago and such troubles di- rectly injurious to health, and even to life itself, if serious complications should set in. Not only that, but the 1 expense of having men sick and delay- , ing the output of the factory, was a distinct eeonomdc disadvantage apart from the actual clanger to health. As for the lighting facilities,: they were, to say, the least, very inadequate, and the use of various kinds of artificial light was a source of great .eye -strain. One of the essentials of good hygiene in a workshop or factory is freedom, as far .as possible, from obnoxious gaees or odors. The presence of these gases was at once noticeable on enter- ing the plant and must surely prove injurioustothe health of the worleers. Even the washing facilities were very inadequate and scores of men left the plant grimy and dirty rather than. waste the time in waiting their turn to get at the wash basins. The cloak rooms also were far too small and not properly arranged to suit the conven- ience of those having to make use of them. These superficial observations were made in the course of a brief visit to the plant in question, one of thee finest and most up-to-date indus- trial concerns in the country, from a commercial point of view, the re- sources behind it being unlimited. It shows, however, that far greater in- terest . will have to be talcen by em- ployers and employees alike, if the health of the workers is to be ade- quately safeguarded. Fishing Cats of St. Ives. A place where grown men play mar bles with the zest of schoolboys, and where cats catch live fish among the rock peols when the tide is out. Such a place does exist, and in the quaint oldfishing town of St. Ives, in far- away Cornwall, England, these things may be seen. In the cool of the evening,: along the broad road bordering the sheltered harbor, numerous groups of hardyfish- ermen, with sea and sun-tanned corn- . Plexions, play marbles for hours at a time, surrounded by many interested onlookers. Grizzled old marrinera, many of whom preserve the old Cornish custom of wearing small gold earrings, pace the quay -side in parties, of three or four, following the "wall, four steps and turn" which is all they are able togdo on the clear apace on the decks of tbeir luggere. There is a legend about the cats of St. Ives, but there was surely ;never another fishing town with so many cats; Each morning, when the night's ()etches of mackerel, dogfish, and skate are brought ashore, the fish are clean- ed on tables placed near the water's edge,' and scores of cats have 'a Mori• ells feed an the offal These sleek, well-fed; and exception- ally friendly animals delight in a romp over the sand and in dodging the wives. Afterwards they will watch for hours by some shallow pool for some unsuspecting Ash or small crab which ventures from its retreat from a bunch of seaweed or rock. A• Ponderous Eve.

And, taking off his cap, he gazed at It and said reverently: 'Thank God, I did that job well!' "I happened to overhear the remark, and I spoke to slim. Then he told me the story of that bit of work. When I heard the young man's remark and saw the light in his eye, John, I knew then, if I had never known before, that work is a holy thing! Right wages and just treatment for workmen are proper adjuncts, but above and beyond thorn your bit of work is holy to you, "The Bible speaks of the 'worlmran that needeth not to be ashamed: That young man toiling in the dirt and din of the stone works fashioned his bit with his soul in his job and found at last his work crowning a glorious Pil- lar! That is true of all good work; sooner or later the finished worst will be crowned. Then who can measure the joy of the workman, And if that bit of work happens to be the crown- ing piece of a welahewn character, calling forth the praise of the Great Master, 'Well done, good and faithful servant!' the joy of the workman will not be measured by time or by any- thing that belongs to the world of time!"

"Genius without work," wrote Sam- uel Smiles, "is certainly a dumb oracle: and it is , unquestionably true that the men of highest genius have been Pound invariably to be amongst the most plodding, hard-working and intent men, their chief characteilstio apparently consisting simply in their power of laboring more intensely and effectively than others."

Before pre- senting the trick put the four of hearts face flown on the table. On this, face upward, put the two of hearts, On this, face downward, petit the five of hearts, On the face of the pack put the three of hearts: Pick up the three cards with your right hand, holding them as if they were only one card, This can easily be done if you hold the cards with your fingers at one end and your thumb et the other and slightly bend: the cards; the convex side to- ward the spectators. Hold the pack with the other hand, the three of hearts toward the spectators. Show that the three is on the pack and the four in your right hend. Rub the face of the four against the face of the three. ' The three changes to a two, the beet in the center seemingly joining itself to the four because that card changes to a five. The trick is that when the rein- forced four is placed on the pack, the right hand carries away only the five. Try the trick with the cards in your hands and it will present no difficulties.

There must be no guesswork in the treatment of pale, anaemic girls and children. If your daughter !e languid, has a pale, sallow complexion, is short of breath after slight exertion or on going up stairs;if she has palpitation of the heart, a poor appetite, or ee ten- dency to faint, she has anaemia—the medical name for poverty of the blood. Any delay in treatment may leave her weak and sickly for the rest of her life. Delay may even result in con- sumption, that most hopeless of dis- eases. `When the blood is poor and watery give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills coupled with nourishing food; and gen- tle out-oadoors exercise. The new, life-giving blood which follows a fair use of Dr. Williams` Pink Pills stimu- lates the nerves, increases the appe- tite and brings the glow of health to pale cheeks. Mrs. W. E, Armour, alavelock, Ont, says:—"My little girl got into a very poor state of health. She was weak, very much run down and as the doctor did not seem to de her any goody I thought I would try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After taking six boxes of the pills she got nice and rosy and strong again. I would re- commend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to anyone weak and rundown," You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine: or by snail postpaid at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co.; Brocicville, Ont ZR -3 Predicted in 1840.

CONSTIPATED CHILDREN Constipation is one of the most com- mon ailments of childhood and the child suffering from it positively 'can- not thrive: To keep the little one well the bowels must be kept regular and the stomach sweet. To do this noth- ing can equal Baby's Own Tablets. They are a"mild but thorough laxative; are pleasant to take and can be given to the newborn babe with perfect safe- ty.

They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville,, Ont, Animal Suicide. It is sometimes stated that'animals know, what is .good for them, as in- stanced by the fact that dogs are often to be seen eating blades of grass, which we like to think ere selected by them for medicinal purposes. But this idea is not always borne out by the facts, particularly in the case of do- mestic animals. Heifers, bullocks, and cows seem utterly unable to resist the peculiar attractiveness of the yew tree; wherever it is accessible, and on eating it almost invariably die. Cows will pick up anything, as witness a re- cent case where some cows devoured red lead with fatal reeults. There is a celebrated treatise by a nobleman in which he seeks to prove that the horse is a fool because it will endeavor to strangle itself in its stable, if there appears to be the slightest chance of successful suicide. Amongst. wild animals t1. t example of apparently,foohsh suicide is that of the migration of the lem- mings, a point which has never yet been satisfactorily explained. Roughly speaking, every ten years or so, these little rodents collect together in the mountain districts., of Norway and march in one mass down to the Bea, where those which have escaped dogs, oats, men, andowls are comfortably drowned. The old idea that they were marching to return the lost continent of Atlantis, although picturesque, does net seem useful as an explanation, "Holy Year" in the Roman Catholic Church begins on the eve of next Christmas Day and lasts twelve months.

One day, while Partridge was mak- ing a trip in the country, he took din- ner at an inn, and when about to re- sume his jourey, the hostler warned him that it was about to rain, Part- ridge paid no attention and set out, but soon returned, having been drench- ed by a heavy shower. ITe was so impressed by the hostler's weather wisdom that he offered the man a crown to tell how he could pre- dict with so much certainty. "Easy enough;" was the reply. "We have Partridge's Almanac here." "Ale yes, to be sure," said Partridge, smiling, "I had not thought of that." "And that man," went on the hostler, "is such a liar that when I eaw the almanac set down to -day as fair, I knew it would rain." Partridge paid the crown in silence. Religion of the Future. The religion of the future will not be gloomy, ascetic or maledictoly, It will not deal chiefly with sorrow and death, but with joy and life.
