A cup of tea con- tains no nutriment other than that in the sugar and milk. Tea, like coffee, contains a stimu lating drug, caffein. Some people seem to carry off a good deal of this drug without herrn. There is, how- ever, a wide variation in susceptibility to it. To most people it has a de- cidedly stimulating effect. Stimu lation means that you are borrowing from the future and that the later' years of your life—the time when you will most need your physical resources --will have to pay your early loans. Tea is not, therefore, a desirable beverage for children. In making tea boiling water should be poured oven the leaves, and the brew should be light. Tho tea itself should not be boiled. One of the evils of tea drinking is that it deadens the sense of fatigue. This is often described as "refresh- ment." ' It is a misleading term. Tea does not correct the fatigue; it mere- ly masks it. When you are drunk with tea, so to speak, you do not realize how tired you are, and you are likely to go beyond your health- ful limit. Fatigue is nature's signal that poisons have accumulated and that"you should take rest in order to get rid of them. Tea only adds an- other poison. The swilling of tea is a harmful habit for people who are already • carrying; an excess of fat. The sugar in the tea is fattening, and the in- take of liquid with meals has a tend- ency to increase the girth. When used for washing down the food, tea has a restraining effect upon . the digestion. It may, therefore, be harmful inderanging the appetite and upsetting, the stomach. Tea ie. particularly vicious for peo- ple ' with weak nervous systems, and even in normal persons may induce nervousness and insomnia. Strong tea contains enough tannin actually to tan leather.

Under a Stable Government the Holy Land May Again Prosper. It is one of the romances of history which will be noted more particularly when the hurly-burly of the war has ceased, that the advance of the Brit- ish force which took the town of Gaza was across the very wilderness in Which the 'Children of Israel sojourn- ed for forty years ere • they reached the Promised Land. It is not improb- able that the world : will learn some morning of the fall of Jerusalem, the accomplishment of a task which has been in hand,off and on, for seven hundred years. The present derelict state ` of the Holy Land must not be regarded as its natural aspect. There can be : no doubt that in the Bible diys it was one of the most fertile lands in the world. That was when primitive im- plements were used in agriculture. How much more fruitftri might it be to -day under the stimulus of modern methods ? Ancient prophecy says that after Armageddon the Holy Land shall be restored to its ancient people, the Jews, and it certainly looks as if the fulfilment' of this promise were at hand, or, at lealst, its practicability. •1f a stable government under the British or French be established, there can be little doubt but tens of thousands of Jews will return to the Old Country. Land 'Worked this year for the first time will be in better shape another year, providing it is cultivated 'she en- tire season, keeping theweeds out and the ground as mellow as possible.

W, CHORAL PERFECTION OF J3IR.DS«, Unlike Human Beings, the Feathered Songsters Never Make a Discord.' It is a well-known fact that while human beings must : be trained for years and years before they can ar- rive at any choral perfection birds can, no matter in how`great numbers, sing in unison and produce ':c,no dis- cord whatever. Even the best of sing- ers when singing together ''cannot avoid an occasional clash of tone and the production of disharmony. Man, with all of the training which genera- tions enera-tions. have given him, cannot approach the birds for purity of tone. Although every species of bird in the forest met in: a glade and sang to gether, the result would bepleasing to the ear, Each bird warbles in a different key, singing a song totally distinct from its mate, yet perfection is obtained, a fleet of fighting ships was prepared, The explanation of this hes in . the and there .presently ensued a battle of A Great Remedy R 1.

A Remarkable Example of One of Natures Little Jokes. Nature is not ordinarily to be ac- cused of trying to be funny, but once in a while she seems to indulge in a bit of humor on her own accoul}t. Of this a very remarkable example is found in a species of Crab plentiful in Japanese waters, it bears on its back a Japanese face. It is the pace of a fierce warrior of old Japan. The Japanese have a tradition to ac- count for this curious phenomenon: The story harks back a few centuries, to a period, when the seas that wash the shores of their archipelago were much beset by ferocious pirates. To put a stop to their depredations fact that birds, never singout of tune, their notes are always pitched exactly on the key and no gradations of tone enter into the chorus to produce jar- ring sounds. A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN Can be Averted by Feeding the Starved Nerves With Rich, Red Blood. Nourish your nerves—that is the only way you can overcome life's worst misery, nervous exhaustion. The fits of depression and irritation, the prostrating headaches,the weak- ness and trembling of the legs, the unsteady hand and the imperfect di- gestion that mark the victim of nerve weakness, must end in nervous breakdown if neglected. Nourish your nerves by the natural process of filling your veins with rich, red, health -giving blood. Your nerves are crying out for pure blood and the mission of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is to _make new, rich blood. This: explains why these pills ,have proved successful` in so many eoses .f,n voouediscasF that narjr Aith eii `' 'For. example, Mr. , Wilfrrd.:Donald, West Flamboro, Ont., says :—"Before I began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills .I was in a serious condition. I was not only badly run down, but my nerves seemed to be completely shat- tered. I slept badly at night, and when I got up in the morning was as tired as when t went to beds •`I seem- ed to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown. At this stage I began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In the course of a few weeks I felt much relief, and continuing the use of the pills they completely restored my health. I can now sleep soundly, eat well, and am enjoying complete freedom from the old nervous trou- bles."

Some Amusing Instances Which Com From England. One of the most amusing instances of the fussiness of red-tapeism is told by a certain officer who was sent on a special mission to Liverpool, says an English writer. He returned his ex- penses to the authorities on the offi- cial form, one of the items being "Porter, 6d." The form came back with the official instructions: "Major -- should have returned the item as 'porterage.'" Major --- me the alteration, and then glancing through the remaining items, found "Cab, 2s. 6d.," which he thoughtfully transformed to "Cabbage." An officer who is a very busy man once, in a rush, sent for twopenny - worth of pins and a file for papers, which cost him half -a -crow. Later, he got an imposing communication, set out on foolscap paper, pointing out that pins being provided at the public expense, a form—XL41578-32 -should have been sent in for diem, and that Form YNP87690 should have been sent hi to meet the Case of files for papers. A certain South of England Work- house had been turned into a military hospital. The matron wanted some chimneys swept, and the local sweep offered to do them for fifteen shil- lings, On writing to the War Office for permission, the Army sweep was' sent from an adjacent town. He climbed bodily into the lower part of a wide chimney, and stuck there, The local sweep offered to extricate the Army sweep for fifteen shillings. An urgent wire was despatched to the e the most desperate kind with the pirate fleet—the buccaneers being formidably organized. The pirates were defeated, their ships sunk; and, no quarter being given, they were wiped out to the last man. That was the end of organized Piracy in.. those waters. So far, the story is historically authentic. One is at liberty to believe or not the theory entertained by the Japanese to this day, that the souls of the men slaughtered and drowned in that battle entered the bodies of crabs. If you discredit the idea, they will show you the crabs, every one of which has the fade of a Japanese fighting man on its back. Further- more, the face, with its bloated fea- tures, is that of a drowned man. A curious point about this taira crab, as it is called, is that it has a set of supplementary legs, by the help of which, if it happens to be turned over, it can run swiftly ono its back.

As it is easier 'for children to learn than it is for adults, they should be given the opportunity whenever possible.

As the suits are easily made at home, the children could afford to have them ready for a rainy day, especially as they save good clothes and furnish so much genuine fun. On an extremely hot day, thus equipped, they may frolic in the back -yard with the hose. ,When .Your Eyes Need Care UseAursne Eye No Smarting—Feels s Pine—Acts Quickly, Try it for Re wcalc, Sore Ryes and Granulated.ltyeude.

GUARD BABY'S HEALTH IN THE SUMMER The summer months are the most dangerous to children. The com- plaints of that season, which are chol- era infantum, colic, diarrhoea and dysentry, come on so quickly that of- ten a little one is beyond aid before the mother realizes he is ill. The mother must be on her guard to pre- vent these troubles, or if they do come on suddenly to cure them. No other medicine is of such aid to moth- ers during hot weather as is Baby's Own Tablets. They regulate the stomach and bowels and are absolute- ly safe. , Sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
