As a matter of fact, even When es- e'enrtielly installed for usefulness, rot - rots can be decorative in effect through ewe -tulle considered place- •memt, and their usefulness can be cos- nertive when the existing contours and the natural lighting of a room ereun pleasant. Mirrors, therefore, deserve theattention of all householders 'in- terested in home'beeutifying. In connection with their location, whether ;fee use or decoration, it is important to stress the fact, that rote tors were •created to effect people; for this emphasizes the desirability of a _ placement 'properly Axed to meet the eyes• of a standing, nensonof average height. Thus, even though the upper portion of a large. mirror may be car- ried to the ceiling in response to some decorative or architectural require- ment, the lower portion should be placed within comfortable view of the human eye. This, of course, applies to wall mir. rors- "for mirrors heve'now'fouad their • way to many other resting placest . Are an instance, they are very charmingly embodied in many of the new scamees, which are to -day a deservedly popular form of lighting fixtures. They are also .occasionally used with very de- tighttel effect as pendants on the val- ance boards which often take the piece of ooev entiouni fabric 'valances as a finish for window draperies. Brighten Dull Corners. Well; •placed mirrors . are nowhere more useful than in smallor 1 ade- quately'Iighted rooms, where they in- evitably teud to an effect of much. greater size and more generous light- ing. Supposing, then, that a little dark -walled room having but one win- dow is so oppressively somber ie ap- pearanee that its usefulness is de- cidedly unpaired. Obviously, a lighter hall color would' transform the room, no light hntes'are invariably specs augmenting and brightening; but, either with or with- out suchia change, a arge mirror, deft- ly eftly hung to face,' the ,window and re - fleet al the light entering there, would satisfactnrdly put somberness to flight: The advantages of using mirrors 'free- ly in hall. decoration are, therefore, readily ajiparent; for, as a general rule, the natural lighting of hale is serious- ly d,nficient. • Nor is the provision of light much better handled fu the case of bath- rooms; strangely enough, too, in view or the intimate connection which out- side light and air bear to human health and cleanliness! The average. 4,: bathroom, indeed, possesses but one window—and that, More often than not, of considerably smeller size than the windows of adjoining rooms. Ample mirrors are actually a neces- sity in ninny bathrooms, as even light-. colored wall are sometimes ineffec- •tual in overcoming the handicap of • windows that are far too small forreal service. Palatable Poisons. Trouble Must be'Treated ' Through the ]Bleed. • The most a .rheumatic sufferer can hope for in rubbing something on the eWol'en, aching joints is a little relief and all the while the trouble is becom- ing mese firmly rooted. It is now 'knownthat rheumatism is rooted in the blood, and that as' the trouble goes on the blood beoomes• still further .thin and watery. To get rid of rh•eunratlsm, therefore, you must go to the root of the trouble inthe blood. That le why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have proved so beneficial when taken for this trou ble. They mare new, rich blood. which eapele- the poisonous acid and the rheumatism disappears. There are\ tlutusends of fernier rheumatic sufferers en Canada, snow weld and strong, who thank .Dr,Williams' Pink Pills that' they are now free from the aches and pains of this dreaded trou- ble. One of these is Mr. Robt. A. Smith, Mersey Point, N:S., who says: —"Some years ago I was attacked with rheumatism, which grew so bad that I could not walk and had to go to ,bed under the doctor's care. It is needless to say that I underwent a great deal of suffering. The doctor's mediciuo did not 'seem to reach the trouble, so when I was advised to try Dr. William's' Pink Pills I d'id• so, and after taking them for sorra weeks I was able to get out of bed. I eon- tlauhd using the pills and, was soon ahle to work, and I have not been troubled with rheumatism since. In other respects also I derived a great deal.of benefit from these piles. and I think them a wonderful remedy." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all medicine deabere'or by mall at 50 -cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. - A man died recently in Montreal from :unite poisoning' said to have been caused by eating stewed rhubarb leaves. These leaves, when cooked as greens, contain a deadly poison called oxalic acid, which _ is used ex- tensively for bleaching. The email amounts found in rhubarb r s�tallts merely impart a pleasant flava as do the tiny quantities of citric acid s in red currants, gooseberries raspber- ries, a fi ries, and semens, although this also is poisonous. In fact, wo at deadly drugs dally end do not know it. The poisonous oil in nutmeg is used • in' medicine as a powerful stimulant; whilst in the process of curing kip- pers andbloaters a poison called for- malin is used, but the amount is so .minute that no injury results. The -dolor of some bacon rind is due to'saltpetre, the principal ingredient in gunpowder, and although the gtian- ttty of this poie0n in bacon is 'smell, to eat en ounce of it would certainly hod's fatal results.. Once in a Blue Moon. The ;expression "once in .a bine ino,om,"_. which. used to- meat', now' u.siraklly means seldom or very rarely. Its origin is elsciire. Some authoettiee think' they see a 'relation between the phrase and the moon .un - (ler certain conditions.: For instance, Brewwer, who iu his "Phrase and Fable" dednee "once In a .blue moon" at "very rarely indeed," says "On De- cember 10, 1883, we had a blue moon. The whiter was unusually mild." Moults of unusual colors, such as green and blue, have been seen after certain volcanic explosions of great. violence, and also occasionally through smoke -laden loge, but inasmuch as "once in a blue moon" •originally meaalt. never, it. 18 not likely that it ere - fere to such lunar phenomena, Over Niagara Falls. livery eecond 205,000 cubic feet Of water flows over Niagara Falls.

Canada has held the premien place; within the Empire ee the greatest pro- ducer of elIrer for the past two de - cedes., During the last flew years Canada has been the third largest pro dicing country in the world, being out- reeked utranked only by Mexico and the United States. Last year (1925) third place was captured. by Peru,, whose produc- tion exceeded that of Canada by slight- by over. one and a half imillion ounces. The principal producing areas, in Canada ars,' in order of their import- ance, Ontario, British Columbia, and Yellen Silver ores have also been found in other parts of the Dominion, but the total production from these areas has .been small. The total re- canted production tothe end of 1925 is 493 million fine ounces, last year's. output being slightly in excess of 20 millions ounces. The market price of silver fluctuates from day to day; tiro highest yearly averages were recorded on the, London market in 1863 and 1854 at $1.348, an in 1920 at $1.348. The lowest pries was in .1915 at $0.519. The total market valise placed on Canada's production during the years for which records are available (188.7 to 1925), based on average mar- ket values from year to year was $318,- 826,880. In 11125 the production was waited at 313,816,742: The mines of Cobalt, South Lorrain, and: Godganda, all in the province of ()ataxic., are at present Canada's prin.- cheat rin.cheat silver producers. Ontario's mines have contributed slightly over 383.3 million ounces to the accumu- lated total of Canada's silver produc- tion, of which only 1.8 million ounces were produced prior to 1903, the year of the discovery of the Cobalt area. The average production in Ontario Por each of the past four years was 10.7 million :ounces, Dividends paid out to the end of 1925 by 'silver companies operating in northern Ontario amount- ed mounted to approximately 392,000,000. Silver production in British Colum- bia and in Yukon is obtained from lead -zine oree. The present rate of production in British Columbia fa about 8,500,000 ounces per annum; Yukon production last year was about 905,000 ounces. There appears to be every reason to believe that the pre- s,ent rate of production of silver in Canada will be maintained for some years to dome. The declihe in pro- duction In Cobalt has been more than compensated by new discoveries and increased production from South Lor- rain and Gowganda, and there has also been an increase in the produc- tion from British Columbia.

That is exactly what happens when the body, is' not able to properly take care of the sugar and starch contained hi the food we eat. What are we eating?

"We are eating much more sugar than any one hi the world ever ate before.

Blind people—those who have ben born blind are exceedingly clever with their fingers', but it is not often that we hear of a watchmaker who was born blind. And yet there have been instances of the kind. • A famous blt:hd watchmaker lived at IIolbeach, in Lincolnshire.' His name was Rippin, and, although completely blind, be could take to'pieces and put together again watches of most deli- cate construction with the greatest ease, and in quicker time than nsost watchmakers who have the advantage of good ,eyesight: - On'one occasion soma of the tiny wheels: and screws used in his trade were staler from him, but the thief was captured with the property on his person, and Pippin identified them by toasch.

The Tablets are the very best medicine a mother can give her little ones during the dreaded teething time because they regulate the stomach and bowels and thus drive out eousti- patiou and indigestion; Prevent colic and diarrhoea and break up colds and simple fevers. Concerning Baby's Own Tablets, Mrs. John A. Patterson, Scotch Vil- lage, N.S. says:—"I have six children, and a;2'the medicine they ever get is Baby's Own Tablets.

Health P ership and the Individual's -Responsibility. Industrial Hygiene means promo- tion of the health of industrial .works ere. This necessitates the most prac- tical co-operation between the two great groups concerned, the employ- ers, who are responsible for health conditions in the plant, and the em- ployees, who are responsible 'los health conditions in the homes, and, mare important still, for their own vate' health habits. The benefits to health resulting from good working conditions (such as adequate light, ventilation and temperature and facili- ties for npurlshment and cleanliness) are enormously minimized if not entire- iy counteracted unless' the individual employee Is a partner in the health campaign, is convinced of the import- = ee mportonce of such factors, and tries to ob- tain them in his home. Health can not be imposed on anyone; to some extent each man must be a esti- starter. ' Broadly speaking the health factors, which are the individual's private re- sponsibility are housing or rooming ar- rangements, food, sleep and personal hygiene: The importance of these things cannot be over emphasized—if bad, they can shatter the strongest Iphysique; if good, they can Conserve and strengthen the most dedicate. The problem is iar.for men and women Talc and Soapstone Produc- tion Higher. According to statistics issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, there was an appreciable advance in the production of talc and soapstone in Canada during 1925. Shipments total- led 14,474 tons valued at $206,835 in 1925 as against 11,332 tons at $154,480 in 1924. Tho Ontario production of talc was obtained from deposits in Hastings County. Practically all of the Quebec shipments consisted of soapstone blocks for use in lining the alkali re- covery furnaces of sulphate (ltr:tft) pulp Mille. A small tonnage of ground talc was shipped from a de- posit at Wolf Creek, Victoria Mining Division, British Columbia. but most difficult for women who are apt to be hampered by small means, ;It is for this reason that the Depart- ment of Health brought out the well- known ellknown book on the subject—"Health Confessions of Business Women," a book by business women themselves for business women, covering all the personal factors which bear on health.
