The Worth of Music.
A half hour or more spent in listen-
ing to good vocal music or instrument-
al music after a long day's contact
with the friction and asperities of this
work -a -day world will act as a balance
wheel to restore the jaded soul, the
. perplexed mind, the tired body,
The man who is worried, or excited,;
or downcast, will find in good music
a stimulus, or, it may be sedative,
which will go far to correct the strain
and stress under which hie whole be-
ing has been laboring. It will inspire
him withnobler thoughts, purer vision,
peace and calm. In these days of agi-
tation and unrest, when the very foun-
dation of established institutions seem
sometimes to be crubing and we won-
der what cateolysm impends, music,
good music and an abundance of it,
will prove a powerful corrective, and
an agency which will heal the sick -
nese in the .human soul and „help to
restore c:iviliztaton.
The worth of music has not been as
generally'reeognized as it should have
been.
Music has the same effect on men in
civil life as inarmy life, and, during
these days of upheaval, of, discontent,
of mental and moral dislmtregratlon, it
can'be used as a potent and -effectual,
means to offset these maldgn In-
fluences and to recreate a happy and
contented spirit in the minds of our

HEALTH EDUCATION
BY DR. J. J. MIDDLETON
Provincial Board of Health, Ontario
Dr, efidd?eteg will be glad to answer questions on Public Health n
fere through this column, °Address him at Spadtne Home, Ipadlan
Crescent, Toronto.
Health rules tire good for children.
Their young minds -assimilate knowl-
edge very readily, and good advice
given early in life in a sympathetic
and attractive way often makes a
lasting impression.
The value of good health and the
advisability of maintaining good
health as a bulwark against the at-
tacks of such diseases es tuberculosis
should ever be impressed on children
as well as adults. When the constitu�'
tion is robust, when good health is
much in evidence, there is not so much
danger of disease germs as in the
person who is weak or anaemic or
generally below the normal standard
of health.
•
What should the child learn then,
that may be of benefit to him in ward-
ing off sickness. Here are some things
to remerr`i er:
Go to bed early, and get plenty of
sleep. When tired or ill, rest by lying
down -not sitting up.
Live in the open air all you can and
keep the windows open night and day
It
sano d that the air may always be fresh
clean.
Clean night air with open windows
is safer than dirty night air with the
windows shut.
Daily exercise in the open air is,
invaluable.
Admit sunshine and light into the
house. Clean the windows. Sunshine
and daylight kill the germs and
strengthen the body.
Eatplain, clean, nourishing, fresh
foods. Oatmeal porridge, bread and
milk, buttermilk, lentil or pea soup,
all are good.
Let your clothes be few in number,
loose in fit, light in weight, woollen in
texture.'
Keep yourself and your home clean.
Clean teeth, clean clothes, clean body,
clean hair (girls' should be in plaits
or tied back in school). Soap and
water aided by fresh air currents and
sunshine will keep the home clean.
The germ of tuberculosis grows
with difficulty in a healthy body.
Therfore observe and practice the
laws of health,

Pumping Water With a Belt.or
It is said. that an English invent
has constructed a pump without cylin-
ders or buckets that will lift a thous-
and gallons of water an hour from a
depth or 800 feet even when worked
by hand.
It consists. simply of a spiral spring
belt, a grooved weight that turns with
the bottom loop of the belt and holds
the -belt in place, and a driving crank
and pulley for turning the belt. The
coil -like cable is carried down to any
depth. by the grooved weight. The
water is held in the noshes of the
spiral spring by capillary attraction
as it is drawn up, and is discharged
only when the coils turn over at the
top.
One authority has called the new
pump "a mechanical impertlnnenco."
Artificial Light fol -:Extra Eggs.
By E. W. Knife.
The use of artificial light is simply
to induce the hens to eat a greater s
quantity of feed, This, of course, with
proper exercise, results in Increased
egg production. Therefore It matters °
little when the lights. are turned on,
Some people prefer morning, and turn
ou a couple of hours before sunrise.
In this case, scatter the grain ration
in the litter after dark the previous
evening, and when the hens get off
Till CAUSE OF SICKNESS EASY TRICKS
No. 51
Almost Always Due to Weak Thought Foretold
and In poverig ed Y31nod.
Apart from accident or Illness • due
to infection, almost all 111 -health arises
from one or two reasons. The mistake.
that people make is in not realizing
o,
c".that both of theeo • have the same
cause at the root, namely poor blood,
ghtEither bloodleeeness•: or some' other
,
ms trouble of the nerves will be found to
be the reason for almost every ail-
.inent. If you are pale, suffering from
Headaches, or breathlessness, with pal-
pitation of the heart, poorappetite
and weak digestion, 'the cause is al-
most always poor blood, If you have
nervous headaches, neuralgia, sciatica
and other nerve pains, the cause Is ex-
hausted nerves; But run down nerves
are also a result of poor blood, so that
the: two chief oausee of illness are one
and the same,
If your health is poor; if you are
pale, nervous or dyspeptic, you should
give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair
trial. These pills aot directly on the
blood, and by enriching ft give new
strength to worn out nerves. Men
and women alike greatly benefit
through the use of this medicine. If
you are weak or ailing, give Dr, Wil-
liams' Pink Pills a fair trial and you
will be pleased with the beneficial re-
sults that will speedily follow.

pills: you can . get them by mail at 50

Windmills May Become
Popular.
Windmills may prove to be the solo
tion of the fuel and power problems
so pressing in both Great Britain n and
America. The high cost of coal, the
great initial expense of utilizing "white
coal," or hydroelectric power, and the
tying up of water power everywhere
by corps, pations, make the use of wind-
mills increasingly important to the
mall factory owner and individual in
he suburbs or open country.
By means of wind turbines and a
ompact storage battery it is possible
to generate and save electric current
sufcient to light and heat the ordinary
dwelling, besides furnishing power for
the farm machinery and even. for
small factories. The wind turbines
work without rest and in their perfect.
ed form require little attention, as
r automatic governors prevent over-
charging of the storage batteries.
Time was when windmills were seen
everywhere. Then cheap fuel and
gasoline motors superseded •them, but
t I with the increasing cost of all fuel
they stand more than a fair chance of
coating into their own again.
the roost in the morning they will im
mediately get busy scratching fo
their feed. Then feed your hot mash
at noon, and your grain late in the of
Minoan again. Others prefer con
tlnuing daylight, by artificial 'means
until 8,80 or 9'p.m., feeding grain abou
7 anis hot mash at noon, grain again
about 8 p,m. and 7 p.m,
Others, Including Professor Graham's
farm, believe in supplying an "even
Ing lunch" by.turning 'on the lights
tor an hour, from 8 to 9 p,m„ then
feeding the extra feed of grain.
It will pay anyone who keeps a flock
of 50 or more hens to have light in-
stalled, as the use of same increases
egg production from 1/3 to % more
than when lights are not used. This
does not necessarily mean a greater
egg production throughout the year,
but it does mean getting the most* eggs
when prices are highest.
Electric light is, of course, the most
convenient form of lighting, as the
lights can be switched on and off by
'an alarm clock. But If lou have not
electric light do not despair. A plant
with about 2,000 birds a short way
from Toronto uses gasoline lanterns,
which being the safest lantern made,
giving a 300 candle power light, has
also a great advantage, for when gaso-
line is turned oft the light does not go
out for a few minutes, thereby giving 1
the birds a chance to get back to
roosts, With a lantern it is almost
necessary to use lights lir either of the
0 evening methods suggested.
