This open life in the forest is a form of recreation in regard to which Canadians are es- pecially%privileged, and it is a particu- larly valuable and health -promoting form in these clays, when so many people live in crowded cities. Camp- ing in the woods will doubtless in- crease in Canada from year to year, and so long as campers are careful with 'fire their presence' does the forest no harm: It has been noticed, however, in many quarters, that.. too often in the past the trail of the camper has been marked by• forest fires. If during the coming season every . camper will determine that neither from his camp -fire nor from his pipe will he permit fire to escape into the forest, a great stride forward will he made in forest protection. Let all unite in preserving this great na- tural resource of Canada. The loss of population in France due to the war has been estimated at 4,000,000.

Once the water used for drinking purposes becomes -infected there is no telling where the damage will endo or how many people Will suffer. The reason for this is obvious. Drinking water is used by everybody in the commun- ity, and should it become contaminated is liable to infect every individual with diseases such as typhoid fever, dysentery or cholera. The victims may include visitors who drink the water, and develop the disease after leaving the district, thereby causing suspicion of the water supply of ether localities where the infected persons actually reside. It .consequently is very difficult sometimes to trace the origin of outbreaks such as typhoid, and the disease thus gets a chance to spread. " A recent example of this kind oc- curred in Buffalo where a remarkably large number of cases of typhoid were reported. The water supply of Buf- falo was examined chemically and bacteriologically, and declared free from typhoid contamination. Where then did these people contract the dis- ease? It was found that one of the patient had arrived in Buffalo from Maryland a week or two before he developed symptoms of typhoid. An- other drunk water in a country village he had been visiting shortly before he took ill. No less than fifteen of the. typhoid cases calve from Jordan, On- tario, and the value of intercommuni- cation between Medical Officers of Health here becomes evident, for the health commissioner of Buffalo im- mediately notified the Provincial Board of Health, Ontario, As a re- sult, the Chief Medical Officer sent an epidemiologist to Jordan without de- lay to investigate the local conditions and analyze the water. The source of the .pollution was found at once. A well located near the Dominion Can- neries was found to be contaminated with typhoid, evidently from one or two flush closets that were in the immediate neighborhood. The Pro- vincial Board of Health forthwith had the offending well closed, and no fur- ther cases have occurred. • An inter- esting feature : of the infected well at Jordan was that twelve `persons' inoctt- fated lust year with the preventive typhoid serum escaped the disease, al- though they drank the contaminated water which made the others • ill. The value of preventive inoculation against typhoid in the country is thus apparent, and it would be a :wise mea- sure if District Medical Officers of Health would encourage everyone to be inoculated with the antityphoid serum, especially during the Fall months when the disease is especially prevalent, or where the water supply is derived from wells or other sources which may be liable at _any time to contamination. As a further preventive measure it is wise for everybody to boil their drinking water if obtained from wells. during the Fall months of the year. No !natter how often the water is analyzed, infection is liable to get in at any time, with serious results. No cesspool, privy or latrine of any kind. should be tolerated within eighty feet of a well, the discharges from a single patient having been known to perco- late' through the soil and infect large volumes of water. By boiling the water or adding chlorine in proportions recommended by the local Medical Officer of Health, all bacteria can be destroyed. Typhoid and dysentery bacilli can be killed in NEEDS GREAT CARE - When thel3lood'l3econtes Watery a Breakdown Follows. javery woman's health Is dependent upon the condition of her blood. How many women suffer with headache, pain in the back, poor appetite, weak digestion, a constant feeling of weari- ness, palpitation of the heart, short- ness of breath,, pallor and °nervous- ness? Of course all these symptoms may not be present --the more there. are the worse the condition of the blood, and the more necessary that you should begin to enrich it without delay. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a splendid blood -building. tonic,. Every dose helps to make better blood which goes to every part of the body and brings new health to weak, despondent people. Dr. Williams' Pink Pi11n are valuable to all women but they are particularly useful to girls of school age who becomd pale, languid and ner- vous. There can be neither health nor beauty without red blood which gives brightness to the eyes and color to the cheeks and lips. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills build up the blood, as is shown by the experience of Mrs. Jos. E. Veniotte, West Northfield, N.S., who says: "For several years I was - in a bad state of health. .I was pale and nervous, my appetite' was poor, and I suffered from weakness, head- aches and a feeling of oppression. I. got so nervous that I was afraid to stay in the house alone. All this time I was taking medicine, but it only did not help me, but I was growing weak- er. eaker. Finally I decided to try Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, and after using six boxes I felt much better. I had a bet- ter appetite, slept • better ' and felt stronger. However, I continued tak- ing the pills for a couple of months longer and now I .am feeling as well as ever I did. I give all the credit to Dr. Williams' Pink Pi11s, and hope that my experience may be of benefit to some other weak woman." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine oar by' mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Hills of Home.

' The train was very late, and to make matters worse it was head up fre- quently between the stations. 4 At last they reached a station where an inspector came down the train to examine the tickets. "Where for?" he demanded, as he looked into the compartment occupied by the three men. "Cork," they replied "in unison. "Then you're all Cork," replied the inspector wittily. "Yes," replied one of the three men; "and if your train was all cork, too, maybe it would be easier to draw. At present it's the best stopper I've seen." He Knew How to Do It. A lady took her four-year-old girl to a photographer. The child couldn't be made to keep still. He of the camera was as sauve as he could be, and work- ed every device of gentle persuasion to make the little wriggler sit with- out moving. Finally, he said to the despairing mother: "Madam, if you will leave the little dear alone with .me a few minutes, I think I can succeed." The mother had scarcely withdrawn when she was summoned back. by the triumphant photographer, who said he had taken a satisfactory negative. When they reached home the moth- er asked: "Nellie, what did the man say to you when I left you alone with him?" "He said," replied Nellie, 'Sit still, you little rascal, or I'll shake you." Thus, when fate my spirit brings To the ordained end of things, I shall come as now I come Through far spaces wearisome, Through the shrouding veils that lie 'Twixt time and eternity; Till they blaze against the sky Gold and jade—the hills of home. A War Mystery Solved. The mystery about the "Big Bertha" which shelled Paris from a distance of 75 miles during the war, has been solved. The Allied officers who have been trying to Sind out why guns of the supposed dimensions were not surrendered by the Germans under the treaty, and why they could find no trace of them anywhere in the war area, have at last discovered that the, •"supergun" never existed.

The ,Tablets are an ideal medicine forr lit- tle °ones. They are a gentle but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels, sweeten the stomach, banish constipation and indigestion, break up colds and simple fevers and make teething easy. Concerning them Mrs. Philippe Payers, St. Flavien, Que., writes: "Baby's Own Tablets have been a wonderful help to me in the case of my baby and I can strongly recommend them to other mothers." The Tablets are sold by medicine deal- ers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. Canadian Trees for British Forests. The demand far timber during the war aroused interest in Great Britain in the subject of forestry. It was seen that even in the thickly populated Motherland there were very consider- able areas which would give a greater return in growing trees than if hand- led in any other way. In fact, as foresters have been pointing out for years, many areas cannot be made to produce anything but trees. The Bri- tish Forestry Commission have under- taken a programme of planting and seeding these. It has been found that certain Canadian trees do well in the that fell into the streets of Paris were British Isles, and through the Forestry ten minutes by the followirig method, Branch of the Department of the In - fired by ordinary naval guns of twelve suitable for villages„ summer camps,. terior, a quantity of tree seeds has or fourteen inches.

"Tanlac has completely restored my health and I feel finer than in years," was the straightforward statement made recently by Mr. George W. Logan, of Peabody, Kansas, U.S.A., one of the most prominent stock -deal- ers in tock-deal-ers.in the Middle West. "It has not only made a new man of me but I have actually gained thirty-five pounds in weight and feel as well as I ever did in my life. I am tellingall my friends about Tanlac but they can see for themselves what it has done in my case. "When I began taking Tanlac I was in an, awfully run-down condition. I was away off in weight, felt weak and nervous all of the time and couldn't take any interest in my work or any- thing else. My main trouble was indi- gestion. Nothing seemed to agree with me. At times I would have dizzy spells and at other times my back would ache so bad that I could hardly get up and down in my chair. This is just the condition I was in when I started to take this medicine, It took just six bottles to make a well man of me. I now have a fine appetite, everything tastes good and my diges- tion is perfect. "My wife was also troubled with in- digestion at times and it relieved her the same way. You may publish my statement wherever you like and if anyone doubts it, just tell them to see me." Tanlac is sold by leading druggists everywhere, Walk With Your Feet Parallel, Advises Doctor. Mothers who train their children to walk with toes pointing outward and counsel their little girls never to wear high heels when they grow up have been told they were all wrong by Dr-. W. II. Thethowaa, orthopedic surgeon in an address at the` Institute of • Hy- giene, in London. "To walk properly," he said, "the feet should be kept absolutely paral- lel. The 'quarter to six' attitude is one of the big mistakes of physical training. Three minutes to twelve and three minutes past is what you want when standing. - "A long stride is not good for the feet. A. slow, short step is better, for it makes you rise on the toe. "Never discourage a child who is turning his toes • in unless he has an actual deformity of the foot. He is probably trying to cure himself of knock-knees or weak ankles." Reasonably high heels are very ex- cellent things, the surgeon said. Low heels are all right for children, or for adults with a perfect foot, but unfor- tunately no foot is perfect. Good Pasture. Smithson called one day on an old school friend, and was shown into a room where his chum's sister was busy arranging some dried grass she had collected. "What a quantity of dried grass you have collected, Miss Ritchie! he said. Then his humor burst forth. "Nice room for a donkey to get into." "Then make yourself at home, lir. Smithson," said the girl, pleasantly. If all the Houses and buildings in London were placed side by side in a long line, they would reach across the three great continents of Europe, Asia, and America. ASPIRIN "Bayer" is only Genuine Lifelong Health Conditions Noted in One Certificate. A very comprehensive form of health certificate is proposed for use in Germany. If adopted, it would from` a record of the health of each individual at any stage of life, and at death would furnish a complete his- tory of that individual's whole physi- cal life. This record would constitute a single health certificate, in which would be combined the certificates of birth, of vaccination, the health re- ports of school medical examiners, and in later life the reports of health -in- surance societies, in which all Ger- mans in industrial life are registered. The result would be of value, during the life of the individual, in furnish- ing any attending physician with a complete family. history; and after death, these certificates would be col- lected in a central bureau, where they would furnish material for the study of heredity.
