In the year 1919, the nine hives he passe.=sed in the spring increased during the summer 1 to twenty-one, and the honey pro- duced, less that required for winter feed, was 2 r pounds, which sold at from 35 cents to 40 cents per pound. : in 1913, the record of production from . this apiary was 100 pounds per hive, or at prevailing prices, a revenue of $40 from the honey of each hive. ! • Beekeepers Associations.

'M oNTREA'L tit Health ��t:gar:9,�s3W� 19r'�r'9zaDTS"b;�?��3 Avoiding Constipation. Few medicines act with permanent effect on constipation -it is munch easier to prevent than to" cure, and the habit of regularity formed early in life is by far the best preventive. Whop tt baby is a month old it can begin- to form the habit of a regular movement at the same hour every day. In the morning at bath time is usually the most convenient hour. It takes time, it takes patience, and it takes perseverance, but after a few weeks the mother will. be amply re- paid by the ab:eenee of soiled diapers and by the possession of a healthier - baby. Breast fed babes, by the way, are much less troubled by constipation than bottle fed. There are a number: of simple methods which will help a constipated baby; one of the hest is giving orange juice, ctrained, half an hour before the liret feeding in the morning. An- other excellent corrective is one tea- spoonful of milk of magnesia at bed- time, If baby is on a bottle, This can be mixed in his night feeding. Cool boiled water, between feedings, helps to keep a baby well. Many mothers take refuge in castor oil or enemas, but both are'bad. The castor oil relieves the immediate trouble, but is apt to leave baby more constipated afterwards. The enemas, when used frequently; tend to make the muscles of the rectum weak. Older children should be safeguard- ed against constipation by food. As an emergency measure, give one or two teaspoonfuls of milk of magnesia every hour for three doses. • To help establish a habit, resort to liquid paraffin or petroleum, which acts by lubricating the bowels. The dose can be lessened gradually until, when the regular habit has been form- ed, the paraffin has been completely discontinued. Any number of foods will work na- turally to keep a child's bowels in healthy condition. Cooked fruit, for instance, although not berries, and fresh vegetables should be eaten every day. ' Water freely between.meals, with one or two glasses before breakfast, -- also helps. On the other hand,: eating too fast, too much eandy, and di'ink- ing tea or 'cofee, will almost certainly Make Mischief. After children ere three years old, it is still easier to keep them in a regular habit by the food they. eat. Raw fruit, except for bananas, is ex- cellent, or two or three teaspoonfuls of honey for breakfast or supper. Coarse food, such as graham bis- cuit, bran cakes, or bread or biscuit from unbolted flour or whole wheat, are both appetizing and healthful. Bran can be used, either nixed with another cereal or by itself. Another good food which most chi?dren likeis cornmeal bread—or Johnny cake-7-- sweetened ake—sweetened with molasses. Prunes and figs also, are wise additions to tha menu. Morning and Evening. The lruslc of the.darInress slips away; Out of the dusk blooms the flower of clay. And the sweetest thing in the world to ole Is the chatter of children full of glee. Tho patter of feet on the nursery floor, The rap of elves at my chamber door, • All the little ones wide awake, I face the world for the children's sake, In the gathering dusk the dayflower shuts; Wearily plodding in yeas -long ruts I seek my hone; as I turn the key, The chatter of children Welcomes ore. Never was music half so sweet As the merry rush of the little feet; I hear the sound of a blithe uproar As I turn the key in my dear home door; With hurry and flurry the little band i1'ail on lne, storm ine, seize my hand. And then the soft warm cloak of the dusk Wraps the day in a circling husk. The stars coins out, the day is done, Sleep gathers my babies, every one, And what do 1 care for the world's; hard fight, I am safe with my own till the morn- ing light. —Margaret E.
