GRANDMOTHERINCs

It was not surprising that 1 Certo
Reed was in low spirits. iiia futile
received a note from the princip
of the high school saying that Me
ton's work Was unsatisfactory, an
hinting that the root of the troubl
was laziness. The interview that fo
lowed was not a cheering one. Th
atmosphere was so chilly at home tha
Merton decided to go to see hisggran
mother.
As he approached the house, a ben
form rose from an onion bed in th
garden, and Merton r (cognized h'
grandfather, whom ha had not expec
ed to find at home.
"Your gaandmother . has goo t
make a call," said the old gentlema
after an interehamtge of greeting
Then, ignoring' the disappointment i
the boy's face, he added, "Isn't this
fine day Makes a fellow glad to b
alive, doesn't it?"
"Drell, I don't know," replied Mer
ton gloomily. "I guess my being alio
isn't any great advantage to me or t
anybody else."
That was the line which he had h
tended to take with grandmother; an
although he had a different audienc
he went on: "I'm no good. I don
amour?, te any more than that wee
you just pulled up."
"That weed would have amounts
to something if I had let it stay," re
marked his grandfather.
"There is nothing to me," persiste
Merton. "I shall never accoinplis
anything."
"Oh, yes, you will!" said grand
father. "You can at least do a lot o
harm." "
"Oh, I don't mean to do any harm,'
said Merton. "But I guess I shal
never do any good, either. I shall b
just a cipher."
"That's a hard stunt, my boy," sai
grandfather. "I never saw anyon
succeed at it quite. A chap I one
knew, Jeff Dutton by name, cam
about as near it as ,anyone could; bu
even he amounted to something, as
found to my cost. Jeff's mother had
a summer cottage at Hunter's Cove
Jeff was four or five years older tha
I, a great flabby fellow. The time
speak of, Mrs. Dutton had asked m
te take a lady visitor of hers over t
the steamboat landing. It was a two
mile row, and I was to have fifty cent
for the job.
"We were a little late in starting
and the wind wan pretty fresh, so that
it would have been guite.a hard .row
anyway for a twelve -year-old boy. But
I could have made it if Jeff at the
last minute hadn't decided to add his
weight to the expedition. That made
difference enough to beat me. I rowed
with.alI my might, with no assistance
from Jeff; but the steambtiat went off
without my passenger. Jeff stood up
and waved his hands for the captain
to stop, but he only tipped over the.
!boat.
"We got no more harm than a good
ducking; but the lady hired the man
who had come to our rescue to take
her back, and in the excitement the
fifty cents that was coming to me
seemed to be forgotten. At any rate,
I never got it.
"You couldn't say .that Jeff hadn't
amounted to anything that time. Ile
had amounted to about a hundred and
eighty pounds. I guess it was so with
Jeff as long as he lived. He was al-
ways a dead weight in the community.
Never could seem to push, but he al..
• ways held back; and, of course, even
hi doing that he counted for some-
thing. I don't believe that you can be
a cipher, either, even if, as you say,
you haven't any brains to speak of."
"I don't know that I said just that,
grandfather," interrupted Merton. "I
guess I have some brains."
"So much 'the better," said the old
gentleman briskly. "Not going, are
you ? I expect your grandmother
hack soon."
"Yes, I must be getting home,"
said Merton. "I have some studying
to do."
"Merton has just been here," saki
grandfather when his wife returned.
"Oh, I'm so sorry that I was away,"
said she. "Did the dear boy want any -
'thing?"
"Well, as near as I could guess,"
said lie, "he wanted a little grand -
mothering. I'm afraid I'm not much
good* at it," he added modestly, "but
1 did my best."

A TONIC- FOR THE NERVES
The Only Real Nerve Tonic is a
Good Supply o;t Rich, Red
i ootl.
"If people wottid only' attend to their
blood, instead of worrying thelliselves
ill," said an eminent nerve specialist,
"we doctors would not see ,our cou•
suiting rooms crowded with nervous
wrecks. More people suffer: from'
worry than anything else."
The sort of thing which the special-,
ist spoke of is the nervous run-down'
condition caused by overwork and the
many anxieties of to -day. Sufferers
find themselves tired, nmoraso, low-
spirited and unable to keep their
minds on anything. Any sudden noise
hurts like a blow. Tliey are full of
groundless fears, and do not sleep well.
at night. Headaches, neuritis and
other nerve pains are part of 'the
misery, and it all comes from starved
nerves.
Doctari 'g the nerves with poisonous
sedatives is a terrible mistake. The
only real nerve tonic is a good supply
of ric'h,`•red blood. Therefore to cure
nervousness and run-down health Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills should be taken.
These pills actually make new, rich
blood, which strengthens the nerves,•
improves" the appetite, gives iiew�
strength and spirits, and nma,kes hither-
to despondent people bright and cheer-
ful. If you are at all "out of sorts"
you should begin curing yourself to-
day by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
You can get these pills. through any
dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50
cents a box. or six boxes for $2.50 from

Housing Shortage in Britain.
Lecturing before the Society of
Architects, Sir Charles Ruthen, a mem-
ber of the Council, produced figures
as to the country's housing needs,
showing that even if the output of
bricks increased two hundred and
fifty per cent. it would be some fifteen
or twenty years before the present
shortage would be overtaken, says a
London despatch. At the present time
seven million people were improperly
housed. The facts, he stated, showed
the impossibility of the production of
brick houses and the crying need of
the immediate use of wood in building.

Cure For Insomnia.
To refrain from worryi to do a day's
work, and at the end of it, go to bed
and to sleep. It is a master recipe for
insomnia. Some of the nervous people
who complain of wakefulness should
study it carefully. It is a creed of
deliberate intention, and, what is
more, anybody who chooses to live by
it can do so.

Toronto University
Memorial.
A rally for the Blue and White as
well as a test of the loyalty of the
Alumni of the University of Toronto
is the campaign for half- a million dol-
lars which is now being carried on by
the Varsity Memorial Committee, the
desire being to perpetuate in a Mem-
orial Tower and Gateway and the es-
tablishment of scholarships the re
cord set up in the Great War by near-
ly six thousand graduates and former
students of the big Canadian institu—
tion. For the past two 'weeks a:apirit'

raised the "drive" will 'continue
.I
throughout the entire world.
But the campaign has More ambi-
tious motives that the creation even
of scholarships for maimed heroes and
the dependants of gallant Varsity men
who Pfeil, for when the money has been
collected thousands of Alumni will
have been got in touch with and the
ties binding them to the old school
will be of a durability hitherto un -
thought pf.
"The campaign to raise a half -mil-
lion -dollar Fund with which to per-
petuate -the memory of the graduates
and students of the University of To-
ronto who made the supreme sacrifice
in the Great War will commend itself
to all Alumni of this great educational
institution," declares Mr. R. A. Cas-
sidy, an old U. of T. graduate, who is
in charge of the campaign, adding:
"The amount is small in the light of
the Huge sum subscribed or asked for
other leading universities in North
America. Harvard is in the midst of
a canvass of its graduates and friends
for an endowment fund of fifteen and
a half millions. Princeton is seeking
fourteen millions from its Alumni and
well-wishers. Cornell has launched a
systematic solicitation for five mil-
lions. McGill secured a million and
a half within a week, although the
initial objective was but one million.
The citizens of Halifax thought enough
dl Dalhousie..University to oversub-
scribe a fund of four hundred thous-
and dollars within a week, and when
Mount Ellison, in New Brunswick,
needed endowment, a quarter of a
million was easily obtained from a
small constituency.
"But in none of these sacred efforts,"
went on Mr. Cassidy, "was there the
inspiratice that should be in the
sacred cause undertaken by the Alum-
ni Association of the University of
Toronto. The desire to honor the
heroic dead here is spontaneous and
general. It was at first but a matter
of deciding how it should be done,
Opinion throughout Canada was can-
vassed and the outcome was the de-
cision to have the bulk of the Fund
used for scholarships for soldier -
students or their dependants and the
erection of a Tower and Gateway, be-
tween the east wing and Hart House,
including a structure In which the
names of those who fell are to be re
corded."
A Memorial Committee, going still
further into `a review of the campaign,
was appointed at a general meeting
of Alumni last Spring and it was final-
ly decided that local and special
scholarships can be provided by any
eommmmunity or individual and be de-
voted to specific purposes indi(•ated
by the donors. This, it • was agreed,
would permit wile latitude to the
Alumni Associations scattered
throughcut the Dominion and provide
amiple opportunity to graduates of
means to help returned soldiers of
ability in their efiorts to obtain a col-
lege training.
Se partial canvass for subscriptions
was carried on in Toronto last 11Iay,
htil local conditions compelled sus-
peission until the Fall. Solicitation
in the city during the past fortnight
has been attended by success, and
still the fight goes on to reach every
graduate and former student through-
out the world. Campaign committees,
organized in counties throughout On-
tario, in every large city in Canada
outside of Ontario, in a number of
centres in the. United States, and in
Loudon for the British Isles, have clone
and are doing excellent work, and it
is now practically assured that the
larger objective of the drive—to lay
the foundations for Alumni Associa-
tions wherever University of Toronto
men and women are found in groups—
will be attained.
"It is hoped," says Mr. Cassidy,
"that the time will soon come when
distance from Toronto will mean as
little to U. of T. men and women as
distance from Cambridge does to
Harvarclites. A Harvard graduate is
