"If people would only attend to their blood, instead of worrying themselves i11," said an eminent specialist, "we doctors would not see our consu'ting rooms crowded, with nervous wrecks. . .More people suffer from worry than anything else." The sort of thing which the spec- ialist spoke of is the nervous run- down condition caused by overwork and the many anxieties of to -day. Suf- ferers find thems..ives tired, low- spirited and unable to keep their minds on anything. Any sudden noise hurts like a blow.

Within them .were cooked dainty dishes to tempt the, appetite of our second Henry. And since that time —seven centuries and more ago ----the kitchen has ministered right royally • to the board of every Sovereign who has worn the crown of England. Twice the third of our. Henrys tried his renovating hand on it; but al- though torches have given place to candles, candles to gas, and gas to electric light, and though its culinary equipment has often been renewed, King George sees his kitchen to -day pretty much as our Plantagenet Kings saw it. ' Even t ve mac 1 of, its presentequipment is hoary with age. There is a meat - screen of oak, hined with metal, which proudly flaunts the Tudor bd e, in honor of.Henry VIII. 'There are two ranges, in which many a joint was cooked for the "Merry -Monarch" and his fellow -revellers, 'and there are utensils still in daily use which were doing good service before Trafalgar was fought. • A Vaulted Cathedral. •As this thicient• door opens ponder- ously, and we enter tors kitchen of romance, our eyes are dazzled by the glitter of the enormous ,copper pots and pans which flash their ruddy fires around the walla. It is only when ours eyes become accustomed to the glitter that we realize- the .vast proportions and the vaulted' dignity of the room we have entered. At each end of it Is an enormous range, with a -screen of oak fashioned in Stuart days. There are four tables solidly fashioned from beeches which once spread their shade in Windsor Forest. Of these, one is used for luncheon and second -course work, an- other for soups and sauces, and a third dor entrees, while ,the fourth is re- served for the kitchenmaids, who are responsible for all plain fish, the stewards' room and the servants' hall. There are stoves—miracles of mo- dern perfection—adapted to the most delicate of cooking; a tiny range, specially designed by the Prince Con- sort for the roasting of game by char- coal; and a wonderful serving -table of hollow steel, on which the dishes are kept hot by steam.. There are brobdingnagian stockpots of copper, stew -pans, braising -kettles, and so on through the widest range of cooking utensils, which line the walls in dazzling phalanaxes. And over all, the vaulted roof, with its rows of ven- tilating windows, rises high as the • roof of a shall cathedral, The Chef and His Staff. The ministers of this 'temple of gas- tronomy are a small and perfectly - trained army of master -cooks and ap- prentices, yeomen of the kitchen, as- sistant cooks, roasting -cocks, scourers, green -office risen, kitchen -maids, and so on, each of whom, clad its spotless linen, discharges his or her'cluty with the precision of a highly -trained sol- dier. Even in the thick of preparing the • largest and most elaborate Royal ban- quet, the great kitchen machine moves j with absolute smoothness and regu- larity. Everything is in its appointed place. Such smooth perfection of working could only be ensured under the direc- tion of a very competent chef, and 'King George's chef is ane of the king's of his craft. 1t el€vetl o'clock every morning he makes his appearance in his office, and arranges the meuu for the day.

The Finishing Touches. Little four-year-old Edwin, While out walking with his nurse, happened to pass a blacksmith shop just as the smith was shoeing a horse. On reach- ing home he astonished his mother by saying: "Oh, rnanima, I found the place where they make horses. I saw a elan milia' on the feet." It is better to pay a debt than to•get a preaent.

Canada conducts a large and grow- ing whale industry off the Pacific coast of Vancouver Island, with three whaling stations; 432 whales were caught in 1919, running from 20 to 90 feet in Iength, averaging a ton in weight for each foot of Iength. The catch produced 2,107,924 gallons of whale oil, 540,280 gallons of sperm oil, 8,450 tons of fertilizer, and 1,400 tons of whalebone, n*thing being wasted.
