Sun Life Etttrblishes Great Record. The fiftyt'ourth annual report of the Sun Life Assurance Company of Cana - de, now being published, once again shows inspiring gains both in re- soureee ankle tl‘e spread of the Coin- Pauy's operations. All previous -re cords of the Company, outstanding as they have been, havebeen greatly overreached. 43,671 new policies were issued and paid for during 1524, In addition, a large block of. profit- able British and foreign business has been, acquired from a big American company by re -assurance, as well as the business of a Colonial - company. operating in the East, The world-wide organization of the Sun Life easily act mita of the absorption of this business to advantage. The policies of a small Canadian company werealso as- sented; In earnings from investments the Company's experience has been par- ticularly gratifying. Both in the in-. crease in market, value of securities held, amounting to $6,331,877, and the. profit on sales wherein the increased vales of securities has been capital- ized, is reflected the wisdom of. the Company's early policy of investment in longterm bonds and similar securi- ties. While it is expected that this in- creased ncreased value will he permanent, pee-' Bible fluctuation has been amply pro- vided for in the contingency account. The rate of interest earned on the mean invested gleets advanced to 6.38 per cent. This is exclusive of profits frome sales and represents. a substantial gain over the previous year's very satisfactory earnings. Policyholders received or had al- lotted to them profits of $0,681,062 during 1924. That the future position of the Com- pany shall be' even more solid and se-. cure, the reserves of its entire life assurance contracts have been valued at three per cent., while a special an- nuity reserve of $750,000 has been set up beyond the amount required by the Government's standard. —ti For First Aid-•-Minard's Liniment HEALTH EDUCATION (' °, " BY DR.

' Breast feeding seems to be one of the greatest cheeks to infant mortality that is known. It is positively alarm- ung to take the records in any com- munity and see the great preponder- ance of bottle-fed babies. While some women, through physical weakness, probably, cannot nurse their babies, the tendency of the present time is for mothers to forego breast feeding on account of the interference with social duties and ordinary routine of life that it would entail. Coupled with this regrettable viewpoint is the fact of conlme cialism in the supply of in- fant foods. Even cow's milk, which with a proper percentage of added sugar and water, makes the best sub- stitute for mother's milk, nowadays rarely contains a proper standard of fat, the high prices of butter at pres- ent tempting many people to use the separator at the expense of child life. In conversation wither doctor recently in a good-sized country town, he told me the startling news that it was al - meet impossible to get pure milk of sufficient fat standard, on- account of the prevalence of separators through- out the country., It is evident that the unfortunate .results of this pauperiz- ing of the milk is not realized by the people' who do -the separating, for there is not a man or woman in On- tario worth the namewho would think of depriving the children of their only means of proper sustenance inthe early months of life. It is just the lack of knowledge, coupled with the butter which now fetches a high price on the market. This is one of the most important factors to be dealt with in the present campaign to build up a more robust babyhood in this province. Sonic of the reasons why a baby should bebreastare, as follows: Breast milk is always ready' and is never sour; it does not have to be prepared or measured; it is nature's method and was intended for the baby; it will' make the baby strong and healthy; it is absolutely free from germs and irt; it protects the baby from many infant's diseases; it is safer for the baby; ten bottle-fed ba- bies die for every one fed on the breast; it contains the proper elements of food in the right proportion for the growing child; breast-fed babies sel- dom have bowel trouble, whichis so fatal in bottle-fed babies, especially in hot weather; the baby will have the best chance of living if breast fed. A. normal baby should show the fol- lowing points in its- development: A steady gain in weight; bowel move- ments every day; a good appetite; no vomiting; a clear skin; bright, wide open eyes; very little crying; quiet, unbroken sleep, with eyes and mouth closed; a constant growth in stature and intelligence. The temperature of the baby's bath should be from 98 deg. to 100 deg. F., and it should always be kept warm. Even a slight chill often brings dis- astrous results. Gross Neglect.

'Yet, I Call malts it so that you will be tired long before you are able to carry it out of the room." That sounds ridiculous anti the statement is usually challenged. The trickster is right, however. With his penknife he cuts off a microscopic bit of wood and asks the Spectator to carry that out of the room. The spectator realizes that if he is to carry it out, a tiny splinter ata time, he will indeed be tired long before' he succeeds inremoving the stick and he will make a mental note not to be so eager to challenge the trickster's next. statement, (Clip this out and paste it, with other or the series, in a scrapbook.) %ill"a Good Pure Bred Sire Pay7, A bull will sire anyv here from one hundred to several hundred calves during his lifetime. Suppose we placete number of calves at one hundred, and suppose the calves by one bull are worth an average of $5.00 per head more than were the calves by another bull, what would this mean? It would mean that one bull would be worth to his owner $500.00 more than the other bull, except the small difference in interest on investment. If the difference in value of the calves were $10.00 per head, the differ- ence in the value of the bulls would be $1000.00 and correspondingly greater for wider differences in the value of the calves. There are cases Where steers by a good bull have brought $60.00 per head more than steers of the slime age by inferior or scrub bulls. These figures should make any man pause before buying an inferior bull merely because the price is low. It is true that merely paying a high price for a bull does not make him a good one, and excellent bulls are of- ten bought at very modest prices; but it is equally true that really gooll:bulls are always worth the money paid for them, while -inferior bulls are dear at any price. No man can afford to use a scrub bell. A good 'bull at $1,000.00 is cheap- er than a scrub bull received asa gift, 1 A girl who weighs many an oz Used language I will not pronoz.

Many otherwise practical people also take care to place ilio right foot first when entering a house. The origin of the very common superstition with regard to the right foot is easily aecoltnted'for by associa- tion. It is a psychological offspring of the Word "right," and its meaning of "iii' conformity withmoral law, per- mitted by the principle, which ought to regulate conduct," and so on. The word as applied to the side of the human body which is toward the east when the face is turned to the north is of exactly the same derive- itou, and owes its present application to the feet' that most people are "right-handed," and therefore the right as 'the figures given above amply hand is the right hand to do things Prove- v'itlt It is also worth noting teat steers by good bulls have "tapped" the open market ' in Canada and . the United States, and still hold several' open market high price records..
