The time of the year is at hand when the temperature and the state of the atmosphere expose us more par- ticularly to the diseases of the breath- ing organs; Bronchitis, broncho-pneu- 1 mania, colds, pneumonia,pleurisy, and all others of the relentless and merci- less pulmonary troubles. The number of people affected by these diseases In- creases considerably during the fall of the year, and the ravages made con- tinue to exist until the spring.. These diseases are often very easily spread and they are always dangerous. If they do not kill they cause misery and loss. We must not forget that these dis- eases are due to germs which are transmitted from one person to an- other and that therefore they are often preventable. Badly heated homes, lack of ventila- tion, unsuitable clothing, threaten us withdecreased powers of resistance, which render us more liable to colds. Patients suffering from bronchitis, coryza (cold in the head), sore throat, even in a mild form, must at once re- ceive attention, otherwise they lay themselves open to complications, as well as exposing to contagion the other persons with whom they come into contact. Some people have careless manners, end without consideration for their neighbors, they cough without cover- ing their mouths with a handkerchief. They sneeze in the same manner or spit on the 'floor. Such facts are observed daily, either in public buildings, in the tramcars, or in any other form of public convey- ance, not taking into account what happens on the street. Avoid these unhealthy practices, and prod will do your share toward thesafe- guarding of your own and the public health, Not a T ger-Man Reggie — "I—an -don't think the brute likes me."

People with thin blood are more sub ject to headaches than full-blooded persons and the form of anaemia that afflicts growing girls is nimoat always. accompanied' by headaches, together withdisturbances of the digestive or- gans,, Whenever you have constant or re curring headaches and pallor of the face, they'show that the bloodis thin and, your eSiorts should be directed toward building up, your blood. A fair treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will do' this, and the rich, red blood made by these pills banishes the headache. Mire disturbances to the health are caused by their bleed than most peo- ple have any idea of. When. your blood is impoverished; the nerves suf- fer from lack of nourishment, and you may be troubled with insomnia, neur- itis, neuralgia or sciatica. Muscles subject to strain are undernourished and you may have muscular rheuma- tism or lumbago. If your blood fa thin and yon begin to show symptoms of any of these disorders, try building up the blood with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and as the blood is restored to its normal condition the trouble will disappear. There are many people who owe their present state of good health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and most of them do not hesitate to -say so. If you are suffering from any condi tion due to poor, watery blood, or weak nerves, begin taking Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills now, and note how your strength and health will im- prove. You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail, at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co„ Brookville, Ont. - The Hill of the Winds. We went to the Hill of the Winds On an amber afternoon ' From Its crest we looked between ce- dar Isles Where a river ran for winding miles By shelving banks and sedgy isles Like a placid long lagoon. There was never a cloud in the vault: The vast blue vault of the sky, For a winnowing wind swept cease- lessly Out of the west where the free winds be, And it sang sweet songs to us, and we Were glad as the wind went by. We were glad of the wind and sun, Of the heights and the depths below— Of the ox -eyed daisies with beck and nod, Of the glint and the toss of the golden- rod, Of the sheen of the moss and the scent of the sod, With the joy that lovers know. Now is the age of the year When the heavens are blurred with rain, When the airs are chill and the mists are gray, Sweet, let us take the upward way, Let us go back to that perfect.day And the Hill of the Winds again! —Clinton Scoilard. EASY TRICKS No. til Magnetic Silver Two matches and a half dollar are used In this trick which can best be performed while you are seated at tae table. -One .match is placed across the other 50 that it is balanced, with neither end touching the table The Performer explains that a pelf del - lar acte toward a match as a magnet acts toward a steel ueedle and pro- ceeds to prove, by demonstrating, that there is sense in that nonsense. The Halt dollar le held near the end of the upper match. The per- former erformer slowly draws it toward him- self—and the match swings 'round toward him. The spectators sus- pect threads but they can examine the matches and the coin all they like. The corn has nothing to do with the trick—except to provide an ex- cuse for the foolishness about'mag- netisin. A real magnet or another match would do just as well. While. the performer is holding the coin near one end of the upper: match, he is breathing gently toward the other end. That, of course, makes the match swing around on its axis -and that's the trick.

Too many poultry breeders leave the selection of their breeding hens till January or February, instead of se- lecting them in the Fail, when they go into their winter quarters. Of course it is not suggested that they should be mated upthen, but by pick- .ing out the most desirable birds for next year's breeders they can be separated,allowed free range, if it's available, until real severe weather sets in. Eggs from these birds during the winter months should be a'second- ary consideration only. The main point is to have them healthy and in good vitality when eggs are required for hatching. Therefore mash and other egg producing feeds should be limited, supplemented by a body and muscle building ration. Care must be taken -not to over feed, or by spring the liens will be too fat to lay. If you have any hens which have layed right up to October or Novem- ber, hang right onto them; also if you havo trap -nested keep your 150 -egg birds and over. If you have a surplus of hatching eggs from such stock they are readily disposed of, and even if they only lay a couple of settings of eggs you know you may have chicks well worth while from their eggs. While your breeders should have good care and attention, abundant ex- ercise is absolutely necessary, with- out which you cannot expect the muscles and functional organs to have the energy needed for subsequent' utilization or the power to resist ad- verse influences. Do not contemplate using pullets and hens which you have "forced" for eggs, under artificial lights, as the re- sults in fertility are usually disap- pointing, Keep an eye on your cock- refs, pick out the quick maturing, large framed and good typed birds to head your pens. If two or more males are to be used in one pen, get them accustomed to each other before breed- ing season; this will insure peace and contentment in your breeding quarters. Breed only from good males, for re- member, the male bird is 50% of your breeding pen. Wood -Fold. Those who have lived ' near forests aver Iteep. Something within them kin to every, tree, Something of wind and rain and sun- shine free; ° Their vagrant thoughts roam far afield to deep And woodsy places where Pan's -goat- hoofs leap And dryads peer through houghs of ash and oak; Strange rustic memories their dreams invoke And stray leaves rustle always through their sleep. They never lose their love of wander- ing, Though Fate should stay dor years their town -bound feet; They never fail to hear birds caroling, Although no wings sweep through the street; And, grid within their inmost souls apart, They hold the magic of'the forest's heart. —Charlotte Becker. 1 It is estimated that the United States holds 45 per cent. of the world's total of gold money. 0'f the remainder the British Empire holds about 12% per cent; France, 11. per cent.;`Japan, ta per cent.; - Spain, .5 per cent.; and Germany and 'Holland about 2% per cent. each.

How do you value your musical in- strument; by its market value or by 1 the effect you get out of it? At a con- ! cart, threeyoung ladies were awaiting in breathless expectation the appear- ance of a well-known violinist, and fll- 1 ing in the time with excited converse- , tion as to their own experiences. They were evidently violinists themselves and had learnt to play the principal Pieces in the programme, besides play- ing in professional or ,amateur orches- tras. But some of their ideas were not quite what they should be. "Do you know," said one of them, "I played ion a £4,000 Strad the other day. Some { friends of nslne had this and an Amati as well, The Amati only cost £700; but wasn't it comic, the people them- selves preferred to .play on the £700 one!" She had not realized that mar- ket value is fixed by many things be- sides intrinsic value and artistic ef- fect. Got » COL f* ?
