MIDDLETON Provincial Board of Health, Ontario. Dr, Middleton will be glad to answer questions on Public Health "mat- ters attern through this column. Address him at Spadina House,, Spadlne Creeoent, Toronto. Obesity in all cases reeirlts from a distriebaneo of nutrition. ' Too much food of 1111 kinds is eaten and not enough exercise is taken. The body cannot burn the food up into the final products of combustion --carbon diox- ide'and water. The human system; as a r'esuit, uses a makeshift. It con- verts the excess of::food, particularly the starchy foods, into fat and stores it in; the tissues. There is no necese sity fpr this storing up of. fat. If less food were taken and at not so fre- quent intervals, if the body were given time and opportunity to oxidize the, food by work it would take the materials essentially ended, burn up the rest and not be hardened by exces- sive deposit' of fat. Laziness is al- ways an adjunct to fatness. People who love pleasure tend ease, have their pleasure spoiled bee the fat that they accumulate. Iu many of the Oriental races where, on account of the heat and general languor of existence, lit- tle ;or aro exercise is taken, obesity is conmion. Excessive weight is not only a mar to looks but a positive hin- drartee to the comfort and enjoyment of life, There may be interference with the proper action of the internal organs, due to a deposit of fat, as a result, shortness of breath, bronchitis, palpitation and other functional em- barrassments are occasioned.: Infec- tion is also more liable to happen in fat -people because they' have as a rule less resisting power. How then can: obesity be prevent- ed? In regulation of diet, habits and sive diet of starch foods and malt exercise lies the solution. An execs liquors should be avoided. Food is not really` burned up or consumed in the stomach _ but in the lungs and muscles The treatment for obesity is along the above lines. The diet should con- tain as little as possible of starch and' sugar. The daily menu should consist largely of bulky foods containing lit- tle starch or sager. For instance,.a breakfast might, as an example, con- sist Of fresh fruit with a' very small amount of dry toast and in some eases, no toast at all. For lunch the meal should consist largely of succulent vegetables,' with buttermilk, and a fruit jelly for dessert. The evening meal should be more elaborate and may, consist of lean meat, one or two non -starchy vegetables and some stale or toasted broad. .

The following are a few suggestions which may ,prove helpful to those en- gaged in advancing the interests of . music among boys at .1111d -week group, sessions or meetings: If you have a pianist, spend a few moments now -and again singing some of the gongs that appear on your song sheet. Try an informal ting song 'around. the piano after the meeting proper, is, over, Some boys areverrshy at hear- ing their own voices in song, and the advantage of the informalaproach is that it is Halide to make'. the boy feel' more at home. Commence yen the better known songs. Find out what they know well. Discour'age'holiering, but do not be too academic. Close with one of the finer songs, such as "Jost a Song atTwilight" or a good, old hymn that the boys know,_ such as "Faith of Our Fathers" or "I Need Thee Every Hour." In conection with sacred songs, try to put more content and meaning into hymns, 'Lirfk diem up, if possible, with the lives of the men who wrote them. Make the boys acquainted with the circumstances under which they are written. A hymn will mean far more to a boy when it has been linked up with the human element. 'A hymn that once was meaninglese suddenly becomes purposeful under this method. Other suggestions alight be added, but the above, if closely followed, .should tend to improve this individual boy's taste along musical lines. When You Cut Your Finger. A well-known deetor gives advice on the treatment of a cut linger. Here Is, what he says: First of all, thoroughly cleanse the cut of dirt and foreign matter. Warm water is the beet, because it encour- ages bleeding slightly; which, in itself, does good. But if there is profuse bleeding use either cold or very, hot water—both of which cheoh bleed t ng. - Thoroughly disinfect the cut to des- troy troy any germs that may be present. There are several equally good pre- parations reparations for doing this; a weak solu- tion of iodine is good, and no house- hold should be without some. It is especially important to disin- fect any cut, no matter how slight, if there is any infectious or contagious disease in the house, or the conse- quences may be very serious. The cut must be covered,_ and pro- tected. Antiseptic gauze; or boric lint, sufficient thoroughly to cover the eut in the form of a small-pad,•is the best. It may be covered with a small pad of cotton -wool, if any presure is need- ed to stop the bleeding, and fixed in position by a firm, but not tight, band- age. Failing this, ordinary linttmay be used, and, falling•that, a piece of clean linen. - Do not use new linen, and do not be frightened of a little bleeding. Finally there is a very important point. If earth has got into the cut there is always a possibility of tetanus or. lockjaw: True,, the chance is slight,' but as lockjaw is- almost In- variably fatal, it is always very wise to see 0 doctor. In the meantime, as a flr•st-aid pre- caution, the cut must receive a special cleaning. An excellent method is to apply fomentations of boric lint. heredity. -Lit shauld be looks u ons disease. Double chins and rolls of fat, on the back of -the neck are ,danger signs and should be heeded. Those. who develop excess weight must take' advice and be on the alert to ward off lddney or. heart affections, and cur- tainly'.must draw the 'line at etimul- ante . of all kinds. Indolence and d disinclination to ex- ercise should be strenuously combated. Too much sleep or idle lying about should not be encouraged. In most cases people can fight oft fat if they are determined and persistent in their efforts. MOTHERS PRAISE AT EL BABY'S S OWNTABLETS Mrs. L, M. Brown, Walton, N.S., says:—"I cannot .recommend Baby's. Own Tablets tad highly, I have found them invaluable for the ailments of little ones." Mrs. Brown's testimony is the same as that of thousands of other mothers who have used the Tab- lets. To use them once is a sure guar- antee that they will always' be kept in the home as long as there are babies or young children to be 'cared for. The Tablets aro a laxative—mild but thorough In action—which never fail. to regulate the stomach and bowels; relieve constipation and indigestion; break up colds and simple fevers and make tbo dreaded teething period easy. In foot they banish all the minor ills from which little ones suffer.

Why a Circular Motion of Our Bodies Causes Dizziness. Our "bilaneing' machinery eonslsta of val'fous tiny tubes placed near our ears,°each tube containing a certain amount oR buil). This fluid, tie rve luovo our dead, acts rather in the fas- hion of a entre, level. The tubes are placed at different angles,' and are so arranged that the fluid responds to every nigtion. Also, menages are transmitted to the brain, which acts accordingly, So that all OM* time we are moving we are flash. - Ing little' messages to the brain, which in return is directing the body how to meet the movemente by balancing. When, however, we spin round and round, we are giving this fluid a .mo- tion which does, not stop till after we ourselves have come to rest—just in the same way as If we sn:ung n bucket full of water in acircle; the water goes. on moving: even when we have pat the bucket down. The result then is that we are sending a false mesage to the brain. We are tailing it that we are turning rthen.reaily wehave stopped. The brain responds,.pf,course, by sending out the wrong orders, and the effect is that our balancing-me- chinery is upset and giddiness results. BEST MEDICINE SDE EVERD SSE Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I-Iighiy Praised by a Nova Scotia Lady. Among the well known and esteemed' residents of Hemford, N.S., is Mrs, Amanda Woodworth. Some four years ago Mrs. Woodworth had the misfor- tune to lose isfor-tunetolose her husband, and as a re- sult of caring for him during his Ill- ness, and attending to farm duties, she became terribly rundown. Mrs,: Woodworth says she felt as though her blood had turned to water. The least exertion would leave her, tired and, breathless. she was often attacked by spells of weakness thptt left herr almost speechless, and fre- quently Buffered from severe head- aches. The medicines she took did not help her; and she almost despaired of gaining her health, In this condition she one day read in a newspaper 0f a case very similar to her own,_in which health was restored through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. This made her decide to give these pills a trial, After using a few boxes she found the pills were helping her, and she con- tinued their use until her old-time health and vitality were restored. Now Mrs. Woodworth looks after a small 1 farm of fifteen acres, besides• doing all her lronsework, and says she never felt better or more energetic in her life. She gives credit for her present splendid health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which she says are the best meds- dine she ever treed; and strongly re-' commends the pills to all run-down- people. You can got these Pills from any medicine dealer, or by -mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr., Williams' Medicine' Co., Brockville, Ont.

How Can the ` Grading of These Cattle 'be Raised fgorn Common to Good?' In a few' eases 'It' could have been done by better feeding, but in•'the ma- jority of cases th€'feeding was alright. It was the breeding of the cattle which Nae at fault, 1n neac'ly every case if these cattle which graded "common" had been given the advantage of being sired_ by .a pure bredn-ball they would have weighed es; much and :would have been as, good quality as those which graded."good." Ability to carry weight and finish Is a virtue not possessed bythe offspring of serub' bulls. Over four million Hoofs were re- quired to carry the live meat supply to the public markets of the Dominion during 1919. Had the scrub bull been eliminated five years back and better feedingmethods practised over the Same period this meat supply could have been marketed on three million hoofs, a saving of over 25% of the -feed that was required, since the moat economical gains are made by good quality cattle. The average weight per animal mar- keted in Canada during 1919 was 800 ppunds, whereas it would have been possible •to have obtained en average weight of at least ten hundred pounds per animal, which would mean the elimination of 25% of the four million (roofs referred to in the preceding paragraph.
