The indoors Season.
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,

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-

subject to strain are undernourished
and you may have muscular rheuma-

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

most of them do not hesitate to -say so.
If you are suffering from any condi

- 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!

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.

SAVED BABY'S LIFE
Mrs. Alfred Tranchemontagne, St.
Michel des. Saints, Que., writes: --
"Baby's Own Tablets are an excellent
medicine. They saved my baby's life
and 1 can highly recommend them to
all mothers." Mrs. Tranchemontagne's
experience is that of thousands of
other mothers who have tested the
worth of Baby's Own Tablets. The
Tablets are a sure and safe medicine
for little ones and never fail to regu-
late the bowels and stomach, thus re-
lieving all the miner ills from which
children suffer. They are sold by
medicine dealers or by mail at 25
cents a box from The Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co, Brockville, Ont.

Select Your Hens for Breeding
Now.
By Sam W. Knife.
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.

Violin -Value.
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.
