In consequence they are often !cooped up in overheated, badly venti- lated rooms and are soon ,seized with colds or grippe. What is needed to keep the little ones well is Baby's Own Tablets. They will regulate the stomach and bowels and drive out colds, and by their use the baby will be able to get over the winter season in perfect safety. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers• or by mall at. 25 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont. Clean Pulp From Paper Currency. The investigative, work of the For- est Products Laboratories of the For- estry Branch of the Department of the Interior is becoming more extensive each year. Recent results arrived at show that absolutely clean pulp can be recovered from the condemned paper currency withdrawn from circu- lation, by the Department of Finance. Experiments at the laboratories have also demonstrated that fire -killed and superficially charred spruce and bal- sam fir can be used successfully for pulp manufacture. Important work is also being accomplished in the treat- ment of woods to render them fire -re- tardant. A recent visitor to this country re- that many stout people could reduce marked on the number of stout people if they only practiced self-control, but. he saw here. Thisfood for thought, they do not put forth any effort to do so., In' fact they eat too much food altogether, and in addition, take foods rich in fat, that only aggravate the condition. If overweight is due to disease, the trouble could easily be; detected through physical examination, by a physician. In this case the pa -i tient would most likely be put on a' i inatin as far as pos- sible diet,elm P g sible the fodstuffs rich in fat -forming material. A fortunate feature of this import - as it raises the question of whether we as a people are guilty of over- eating. I say "guilty" Intentionally, for over -eating in the sense that it endangers health and leads to ineffi- ciency, is really a crime, As far as actual disease is concerned, there are certain diseases that have long been ' known to be associated with stoutness or overweight. The actual danger comes • from the deposition of fat around and in the vital organs of the body, which may cause interference ant problem of reducing overwei ht g is with the action of the heart, kidneys that the condition can be controlled. and blood vessels; Diseases of these Even when"stoutness" is present for organs are a common association of some considerable time, as for a per - overweight, and it may be that over- rod of years, it can be reduced with d f Th 1 ti f th roblem weight oes prove an important factor sa ety. a sou ono e p The family budget should irc'uda g an appropriation for training in char- acter building.

Some stout people who neglect to reduce their weight do so from a mistaken idea. They think that controlling their diet means re- ducing the amount taken to almost the point ofstarvation, or at least keeping them perpetually hungry. They argue that life is short and that it is not worth while denying oneself the simple daily pleasures, one of which is included under the heading 'of "a good appetite." The general plan for weight reduction is to ar- range the menu in an attractive way which will at once provide sufficient food to satisfy hunger and at the same time Contain a reduced number of calories or heat units. Diets can be arranged for each individual by his physician, but in the main, the plan is to restrict starches and sugar^ and fatty meats, and make the chief What is the cause of overweight? It appears to be mainly due to the taking of more food than the body needs, and the consequent storing up of the surplus in the form of fat. Overweight may occur at any age, but it is most likely to appear a age of thirty. As people grow older they tend to take less and less exer- cise, While at'the same time the am- ount of food eaten does not decrease and sometimes actually increases. This is especially true with regard to work- ers in the cities whose habits of life are as a rule more sedentary than ,those of the country. Less and 'less of the food they take is consumed by —: actual work and more is stored in the form of fat. Overweight may occur in two or three ways, first, there may be a hereditary tendency to this con - fter the DELIVERED TO YOU POSTPAID, 3 Pairs "$2.00 4 Pairs 6 Pairs $3.00 Men's, Women's and Boys' Sizes 1 to 3. only.

Only eat three times a day and never between meals. If candy must be taken, eat it at the end' of a meal as dessert. The foods that are not rich' in fat consist in general of the bulky vegetables, fruits, lean meat and fish without fat. Do not depend on drugs for weight reduction. Most of the drugs used sire harmful and poisonous. --- Remit by Dominion Express Money Order,; If lost or stolen you get your money back. Butterfly a Delicacy..

While it is not yet possible to ac- curately forecast radio reception con- ditions, considerable progress has been 'made toward establishing the re- lationship between weather conditions and radio reception, according to'en- gineers of The Marconi Wireless Telegraph . Company of Canada Limited Generally speaking it has been found that when the weather is un- seasonable or when there is a sudden or decided change in the weather recep- tion conditions will be bad, according, to these authorities. Cold weather ' in summer, warm days in winter or, a change from cold and crisp to moist and snowy weather will invariably bring about poor reception conditions, Fading, both of the slow and rapid variety, has been found to be almost as bad for radio reception as static. Fading is almost inevitable when the weather changes, it is stated. Every effort is being made by radio engineers in all parts of the world to determine the relationship between radio reception and the weather so definitely that foreasts as to radio re- ception will be as accurate as those now issued by the meteorlogical bur- eau about the weather. When this has been accomplished it will mark a bigs-forward stride in radio receiving. For Every 111—Mrnard'e Liniment.
