Future of -Canada Depends on Traiat-
ing • of Her Coming Citizens.
We believe that there is no nobler
calling than that of the teacher. And
we do not niean especially the advanc-
ed teacher, the learned professor with
his trailing degrees. We mean,
above all, the thousands of women all
over this broad Canada of ours teach-
ing thousands of little children the es-
sence of life. Those women, with
their humble, constant, patient, ill -re-
warded industry, are making the
future of this nation and the future
of the world. It depends upon them
primarily • whether democracy shall
work out to slow, enduring triumph
or to gigantic disaster.
They are 'conscious of the vastness
of their task and try to perform it
worthily. No doubt many of them
are careless and negligent -and think
mainly of themselves; but the great
mass labor tirelessly and with daily
prayers that they may put into those
children's hearts some little seed that
will go on and prosper to the glory
of God.
What the difficulties are no one
knows who has not closely watched
the effort. The children are so often
unresponsive and wayward and in-
tractable and easily misled, rarely if
ever appreciative of the care and love
bestowed upon them. The parents
are seldom thoughtful to praise, and
are often ready to find fault, convinc-
ed that, if Willie does notado well,
anyone but Willie—or themselves—
is to blame.
The reward is meagre in dollars; in
;hanks, more meagre still. The teach-
er must .find it ehiefiy in the conscious-
ness of having done her best, and
that is a consciousness often denied
to those by whom the very best Is
;lone, Only -rarely does one among
hundreds of pupils who come later to
look at their teacher's work with love
and gratitude think to tell her of it.
But what a ray of sunshine that
means! If you have prospered in
the -world and are ]Sappy and success-
ful; and feel that you owe it very
largely to her who formed your char-
acter' in school, write and tell her so.
You will give more pleasure than you
can imagine.
Willie Only Resting,
He had yelled steadily for twenty
mit Utes. Then he stopped, and all
.was quiet.
"I am glad to see you have stopped
crying, Z 'illie," said his mother.
"I ain't stopped," exclaimed Wil-
lie, indignantly. "I was only restin'i

Styles for Spring 11
There will be two fashionable sil-
houettes this spring. The slim sil-
houette, with its straight, clinging
lines will continue to be first in favor,
as it has been all through the winter,
but the new barrel skirt will give wo-
men a chance to indulge in the bouf-
fant effect, which will, doubtless, be
welcomed by those who 'nave complain-
ed of being tired of the eternal
straight line.
True to its name, the new silhou-
ette is in the outline of a barrel, bulg-
ing at the hips and drawn in at the

ways of accomplishing this puffiness
over the hips. One is by the clever

draping of the material at the Waist-
line somewhat after the fashion of the
"peg -top" skirts that were used some
years ago. This type of the barrel
skirt is shown in the sketch, which 11-
lustrates a dress of figured pongee
with sleeves and belt of plain pongee
in natural color. The skirt narrows
down to two yards at the hem; for the
narrow skirt, especially in this toren,
is to come in with the spring, fasli;ign
authorities says. This silhouette has
also been named the "howling -pin;"
and looking at the whole silhouette
from shoulder to ankles, and not mere-
ly from the waist downward, the name
is indeed most appropriate.
Perhaps the most generally favored
of all fabrics this spring will be satin.
It is to be used for one-piece dresses,
for suits, and for sepal'ate coats. This.
material will also be in demand for
eveninggowns and afternoon dresses,
and for these its popularity will be
shared by charmeuse, which is very
closely related to satin. The suits
and dresses of satin will be decorated
with braiding and embroidery, and
much of the embroidery will carry out
the Oriental colorings which are dis-
tinctly in vogue this season.

But Ts Made Well and Strong By
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Mr. R. J. Thompson, of Uxbridge, Tells
the Story of His Terrible Trouble
and Almost Miraculous Cure.
Uxbridge, Ont., Apr. 2nd. (Special.)
—Mr. R. J. Thompson, living near
here, had fourteen convulsions in one
afternoon. The doctors did not think
he could live. To -day he is well •aad
strong. He says Dodd's Kidney Pills
did it. But let him tell his own story:.
"I am delighted with Dodd's Kidney
Pills," Mr. Thompson states. "I have
only taken eleven boxes and I feel like
myself again.
"I was taken i11 very suddenly. I ate
my dinner and went to take a man
home. I just got about three-quarters.
of a mile when I was taken with •a con-
vulsion fit. I had fourteen that after-
noon and the third day I had nine
o== 0otors said I• could 'not live
and if I did I would never be able to
do anything again, as I. had chronic
Bright's Disease. But thank God I am.
doing my own work once again, by the
use of Dodd's Kidney Pills." •
Bright's Disease is the most advanc-
ed stageof kidney disease. It can be
avoided if the earlier stages of kidney
trouble are remedied by the use of
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
BRITAIN'S NEW INDUSTRIES.
Leather Goods, Toys, Chinaware, Now
Made in United Kingdom.
Leipzig, Germany, has lost its fam-
ous fair. Bustling British traders
have grabbed it holus bolus and estab-
lished it in London town, says a Can-
adian in England. Germany had al-
most a monopoly o? the leather trade
before the war. But you should see
the splendid 'display of leather goods,
purses, handbags, picture Mimes,
writing pads, toilet and jewel -cases
they are turning out in English fac-
tories these days dressed and in suede
effects—not a shoddy article in the
show. The daintiest 'Viennese pigskin
jewelcase could not vie with those
which British workers are now mak-
ing.
Tin soldiers—whole divisions of
them—presently caught the visitor's
eye as he wandered among the
streets of booths which filled a huge
section of the building. Grenadiers,
artillerymen, infantry, army service,
engineers, and army medical corps
painted•in the bright colors of their
own regimental full dress stood
among cannon and howitzers, past
which squadrons of Lifeguardsmen
and Hussars charged with supreme
disregard for machine guns.
Toys to delight the heart of the
most fastidious child abounded in
this section. One dealer exhibited .a
rocking -horse whose front legs work-
ed like a pendulum, causing the ani-
mal to progress in stately manner
about a nursery as each see -saw of the
back rockers lifted the forelegs free.
What rafts of wooden animals, what
array of dolls, whose china heads,
hands or feet are no longer German
as of yore. Toy telegraph keys, and
one with an electric buzzer for teach-
ing ambitious youngsters wireless,
were among the features.
Numerous manufactures in which,
owing to indifference, the Hutt had
`almost acquired control of the world's
markets, Were here •exhibited, And
'the British article is almost invariably
a far better looking and more durable
affair than the cheap German . goods.
Germans are a cheap nation anyway
and they like shoddy goods. British

brushes, hair brushes, clothes brushes,

In china, England has always been
supreme in both the very best and the
very cheapest, In the medium and
largely dealt in grades, Germany was
a strong competitor, but from this line
Germany will henceforth be debarred.
England's .potteries are determined to
even here outdo her.
Quite likely the white buttons on
your shirt or your aprons are made
of 'compressed milk, treated with
acids:' Germany had control of this
mammoth industry before 1914. The
Huns called the material "Galilith."
England's chemists have discovered
a ,,good commercial process of mak-
ing this material. It has illimitable
uses., Brush backs, chessmen, but-
tons by the hundred million, check-
ers, poker chips are made from it, and
numerous good ivory imitations. Even
the, colored ivory -appearing ornament-
ation and the pretty green jade-look-
in'g edging on jewel and ladies' small
dressing cases are generally nothing
less than this substance.
Lead pencils are another line of
manufacture once in the hands of the
Huns to 'a very large extent. Remem-
ber the Faber pencils? English mak-
ers are fashioning as good a pencil as
ever the Hun turned out. England is
eonsufeing all the present output,
while China takes the culls. One
dealer told me he was full up with or-
ders for the next four months.

to be seen at the third annual fair of
British industries, held under the au-
spices of the Board of Trade.

CARE OF HOUSE PLANTS.
Keep house plants as close to the
glass as possible, so they will have all
available light, and turn them around
frequently to prevent their growing to
one side.
Do not let plants suffer for water
or moisture, the sun drys out the soil
in, the pots quickly at this season.
Overhead watering or syringing will
be beneficial
On pleasant days admit fresh air
freely, avoiding cold draughts striking
the plants.
If insects appear they must be kept
down by spraying with insecticides.
Liquid manure can be used to ad-
vantage now that the plants are be-
ginning to grow, particularly for
plants likely to get pot bound.
Water seedlings carefully that have
been started in the house. Do not keep
them too warm, and give sufficient air
to make them stocky. Thin the plants
out so they will not become drawn;
that is tall and spindly, and transplant
as soon as they are of sufficient size
into shallow boxes of soil, giving each
plant sufficient room to develop.
