Influenza is highly communicable. ,The disease, though it may 1,3e severe,is of it- sel rarely fatal. . The sey9rity of even the mild case is remark increased by respiratory or intestinal corripli- cations, ,t " How to Avoid Flu" t:(1) Avoid crowds. ,(2) Exercise in the open air. c(3) Get sufficient sleep in a well ventilated ro011)..

How to Know " Flu The disease usually starts rather abruptly with an "out of sorts" feeling - indefinite pains and ach- es, cold in the head or slight cough,- fever, and sometimes vonaiting or diarrhoea. Neglect of these symptoms of onset may lead to pneumonia and change a mild case into a severe one. spired all her writings, her influenceS, her foreign missionary' work. That so filled her life that she realized the blessedness of "the pure—or single minded—in heart," the outward and visible sign of which was as becom- ing "as a little child,"—the Passport according to Our blessed Saviour to the kingdom of heaven. "From glory unto glory," is an es- pecially appropriate hymn for the ap- proaching New Year's festival, with its clear-sighted lines:— "And closer yet and closer the gold- en' bands shall be, Uniting all who love Our 'Lord in pure sincerity; And wider yet and wider shall the circling glory glow, As more and more are taught la; God that mighty love to know." Purely political movements like that of the League of Nations catch the public eye and sound efficacious, but GrOd as a concentrating Force, Militia' love of Him as Father Creat- or, Redeemer of all, furnish the only sure and certain hop.e of peace on earth and a realization d the essen- tial brotherhood of man! It is a fine thing to start upon a New Year with an expressed desire to draw near to God. that He may may draw near to is, and lead us on daily from the increasing. glories of life and of this universe to the great- er glory of the life that endureth for ever in His own heaven. . And that, not merely from a selfish hope of securing one's own happiness but from an earnest desire to help, ac- cording to one's little or great ability, to promote the love, peace and hap- piness of the whole circle of hum- anity. The tune "Tours" by the renowned has been adapted to this hymn in European musician, Berthold Tours, some of the hymn books. How to Fight "Flu " (1) Go to bed immediately.'

"But °uteri° has a rauel lieater populstion than the western provinces.

The western provinces would have to build entire new roads, an, the' cost to British Columba in parti- cular would be much heavier per cap- ita than to Ontario." "But don't you thintt that many motorists would prefer to travel around by way of the United States in preference to traversie.g the bleak country north of Lake Superior?" asked the Star. -Virtually every national highway in the United States passes through hundreds of miles of desert," prompt- ly replied Mr. McKay. "Yet that seems no bar to the motorists' enjoy- ment of the trip. I believe that the motorists want such a highway, and It M up to the Government to pro- vide them with it. The Federal Gov- ernment have been paid for it many times over by inaport duties on auto- mobiles, and the automobite owners have a right to insist that it be built with Federal aid." KIWIS GROW SCARCE. • Much of the Wild Life of New Zea- land Is Disappearing. Th.e development of wild bush land and swiftly extending, areas of cultivated land in New Zealand is considered the cause of tlae dis- appearance of much of the wild life for which that country was once famous. An eminent naturalist,, Mr. R. Palle, in an Auckland college, recent- ly said: On account of the clatruction a the bush many species of native birds had been reduced almost to tile point of extinction. He said the gen- eral opinion was that the kiwi was almost ex-It:net, but this was not a fact. Kiwis were never seen by day, but came out at night. In places la the north of Auckland it was not an uncommon thing for dogs to bring one or two in a 'week. "The kiwi is by no means as rare as is often stat- ed and with 'reasonable protection ,should be with us for many years," said Mr. Fella. Mr. Falla said the hula commenc- ed to decrease in numbers about 1907.. The last hula seen was at the head of the Wanganui ,river in 1914, and since that time there had been no reliable report of one having been noticed. "'Ile blame for this must be laid at the door of the collectors, who, whe.0 it was known the bird was becoming rare, combed.' the Dom- inion from one end to the other for thebirds," said Mr. Fella. 'They took them away in pairs, and as the huia always hunted ha pairs, it was a fairly easy matter to catch them." Zdtachine Marvels.

Sack Dunn Won Medal for Disobed- ience of Orders. What becomes of V.C.'s? Most adult readers will remember Bugler Jack Dunn, V.C., who won the covet- ed laonor at the age of fourteen in the Boer War. The writer of this ar- ticle says a frienie in Australia tells of Mr. Dunn having to give up his post as chief steward of a liner jour- neying between Sydney and. the Phil- ippines because the line has changed hands. Jack Dunu won the V.O. for dis- obedience, really. He was given the order to sound the retreat at the ac- tion of Modeler River. The fourteen - year -old boy refused to blow it. He swara the river, and as he climbed out on the bank his bugle arm was hit by an enemy bullet. uBt he took the bugle in his other hand and blew the attack, The soldiers, inspired by his courage, swept the enemy before them and won the action. After the war the music -halls supported him for a while. BILLIARDS. Considerable Transformation Since It Was First Introduced. The game of billiards has under- gone considerable traasformation since it was first introduced. The game. first became fashionable when recommended to Louis XIV. by his doctors. In the early eighteenth century the table was square, with three pockets only on one side. In the middle was set up a small arch of iron, and be- yond this was a mark, called the king, and the player had to drive the mark without upsetting either. 13y a statute not very ancient, bil- liards was declared to be an unlaw- ful game in Eugland, and it was an offence, punishable by a tine 01 ten pinnate, to keep a table itt a public - house. The original game, which. seems to have been a kind of cro- quet, was played on the ground, the playeae kneeling. The Lombards. Lombard street, the principal henk quarter of the city of London, takes !II Mete its name from the "Lombards," so- called Italian goldsmiths and money- lenders, who settled there in the he - ginning of the twelfth century. They were then commonly called "Longbeards," and the name of the thoroughfare was spelt indifferently Longbord and Langeberd. A century or so later it had become corrupted into Langbourne—that is, 'long brook" --.--and this misleading title is — still retained for the ward in which FL.: It Is situated.
