LUNG -FISH VENTURED ON LAND And That Accounts for Man's Presence on Earth To -day. The mudskipper or walking -fish, found in tropical African rivers., climbs the roots of the mangrove trees and makes his way along the muddy banks, using his fins for legs. This fish is going through the same process that mil- lions of years ago resulted in life moving out of the sea onto the land. Secrets of Science. way onto the land. k nese developed gills sunk far back into their bodies where they were protected 'from the e rapid evaporation of the raeisture. By David Dietz. Probably the most important singl step hi the, evolution. of life from en siewpoint is that life expanded from he ocean and took possession of drf and. All life is dependent upon water. Jan is just as much dependent upon vater as is the fish. Without water, we could neither di est our food nor breathe. We thin f breathing air. But the air must b issolved in the moisture in our lungs dere we can make use of• it. Creatures which live in the water beret the air dissolved in the water. The fish does this by means of its Ills. The gills are thin membranes :rough which the air dissolved in the ater is absorbed and taken directly .to the blood. There have been many different In- Lsions of the land by life -Seem the 3.,ter in the early history of the earth. The first was probably that of plant e, , Certain sea plants which grew ar the shore were left without water len the tides receded. et first these- died, but gradually ints developed with tougher outer urs which enabled them to 'hold re moisture within themeelves and is to exist for periods away from ocean. Lnimals followed plants in the exo- 1 of the sea. LIFE WAS A ;EDEN Restored to Health Through the Use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "It is a pleasure," says Mrs. Ross Boulter, of Victoria, P.E.I., "to tell you of the new health and strength I got through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Before taking the pills life was a burden to me.. I was so badly run down that I did not know what to do, My blood seemed to have turned to water, I was very pale, constantly tired, and was losing flesh. It was a Arial to attempt housework. Added to this Iehad a bad cough and nay hus- band and friends thought I was'going into consumption. The medical treat- ment I was taking did not appear to do me any good, and I had about given up hope when a friend urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I got six boxes and found so much benefit from them that 1 got .six more boxes. Be- fore these were all taken I was a new woman, restored again to good health. I gained in weight, the cough left nee, my appetite returned and I once more had a good color. Better still, I was able to do my housework without fatigue. Needless to say I always re- conurtend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to ailing friends, and I hope this will be the means of pointing the road to good health to some other sufferer."

Certain ones of these worms are also believed to have been the an- icestor of present-day insects. But. the most important invasion of the land was the invasion by the fishes, In the case of the fish the gllIs gradually replaced by a bagiike growth from the. throat, the primitive lung swimming -bladder. Fortunately we have an example still on earth fo-day of how this came 'about. In Australia there are -certain rivers whiij dwindle to shallow pools in the dry season. Here we find a fish known as the lung -fish, which, when the water in the pools becomes stagnant and the air dissolved in them becomes ex- hausted, rises to the surface and gulps Similar lung -fish are found in parts of South America and Africa.

The arrangements for the various activities connected with the Ontario Dental Health Day to be held on Wed- nesday, October eflth, are now well un- der way, and this dental health educa- tional effort promises to be a great success. This is the first time that an educational campaign of this kind has ever been attempted in Canada and the Hon. Dr. Godfrey, Minister of Health, and his Department, are to be congratulated far initiating this im- portant public 'health endeavor. The fact that mouth infections and dental sepsis cause a vast amount of ill health is now generally recognized and the value of a movement which will tend to prevent tooth decay and pyorrhea will be appreciated by the general public. The popularity of the effort is demonstrated by the fact that all the prominent health, educational and social welfareorganizations in the province are co-operating in a most enthusiastic manner. One of the activities being organized is the 'pro- viding of free dental examination and advice; over a thousand dentists will have a part in this survey and it will be extended to every part of the pro- vince. In every section of Ontario those who desire will be able to get the Service and, in a nunab.er of districts free X-ray pictures will also be avail- able. The general public educational cam- paign. will consist of newspaper ar- ticles, motion pictures and radio talks. Public meetings and mass meetings for school children will also be held. The service clubs are giving prizes. to the children writing the, best essays or pre- I paring the best posters on Dental Health. The merchants are arranging for suitable 'window displays and be"' ' ness concerns have offered to enclose dental health teafiets in the communi- cations sent out to their customers and - clients. The Ontario Motion Picture Bureau is contributing the motion pic- ture films and the various exchanges are distributing them to the theatres. This has been made possible through. the courteey of the Teronto Film Board. A short dental health film vill be shown in ea.cli of the larger heatres in Ontario. Dental Health concert programmes, including a short alk on the prevention of mouth clis- ases, will be broadcasted from the adio stations. t t r Christianity counters the maxim, "No one is good enough to be another inalfs master," With "No ane is too, goad to be another mr-i's servant."

It is native to Canada and Is commonly found in hedges, in dry woods, along country roads and, all too often, even in city parks. Poison Ivy is a low shrub. The leaf is large, re- sembles that of the Virginia. Creeper but is divided into three distinct leaf- lets; it is of a bright green color which changes to autumnal shades. Children are quick to recognize it, and should not go where it is liable to be found until they can recognize it and know the danger of touching it. In the city of Hamilton the Horticul- tural Society, co-operating with the School Medical Officer, supplied a specimen of the plant to each of the city schools; this was used for teach- ing the children to know the plant and how to. treat ivy poisqning. Cattle .can eat poison ivy without any 111-eff.ects, but dogs.are poisoned by it. When a human 'being is affect- ed, it shows as an inflammation of the skin' immediately or within a short tine after corning in contact with the leaves, although some people are so susceptible that they are affected_ If they merely pass the plant and do not touch it. The poison can also be car- rie.d on clothing, tools, etc. What to do: Treatment must be prompt. Hot solution of baking soda, Qr vinegar, or salt (4 tsp. to 1 pint) are recommende.d, as they are easy to get in any household. Good strong yellow laundry soap (because of the antis.eptic action of the potash) is most helpful when used promptly to wash the parts affected; it is a wise Precaution to carry a piece of this kind of soap in your pocket when going for a tramp in the woods, and to use it freely after an outing. In severe oases, apply clean Cloths soaked in hot boracaic acid (4 tsp. to 1 pint), changing frequently. Very severe cases should be seen by a doc- tor. -,.......,---e-seeseeesees----aeseesseeesseeesseeseseess TOU ARE CORDIALLY INV/TED TO rsEAR BY RAD100Ahril3rotlan Sciences, entitled ............44 0.0 "'' ouleast et a Free Lecture on ,.2.24.019,16244{111111161,464Male.....11.......140.101111•MCW,M1,1,0,1.'flil,1110.1.111.1401/IIMPart.1111....11111 Christian Science 4' it'a Visitor to ethe Exhibition will be welcomed at Massey Relatio.-1 to the Deellny of " 14.4.041111.1.4.03120.11....61.1111 Station 0.1C.(1.L„ 367 (lete.ximite and Reelable Battery Company) SUNDAY, SEPT. 13, AT 300 P.M.
