ERS $ABP'S OWN TABLETS ALWAYS IN THE HOME Once a mother has used' Baby's Own Tablets for her little oneess she always keeps a supply on hard, for the first trial convinces her there is nothing to equal them in keeping children well. The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach,. thus driving out constipation and in- digestion, colds and simple fevers and snaking teething easier. Concerning .them, Mrs. Saluste Pelletier, St. Dumas, Que., writes:—"I have used Baby's Own Tablets for the past ten years and am never without them in the house: They have' always given the greatest satisfaction and can gladly recommend them to all mothers of little ones."

HALTER -BREAK THE COLT WHILE HE I5 WITH HIS DAM A few minutes' work while the colt is still running with the 'mare will suffice better than the same number of hours when the colt is two sir three years of age for breaking him to the batter. The chief advantage of halter - breaking early. in life is not so much that it is accomplished with less . ef- fort, but that the colt may be handled in any way desired. If .such is the case, he will receive better treatment and better cafe. If halter broken, his feet may be properly cared for and crooked legs and deformed feet pre- vented. Usually no trouble Will be experienced in getting the colt to lead, /but if somewhat stubborn, a Tope may be passed back through the halter ring, and a loop dropped over the rump and placed so that it will bind the colt in the thighs. If this- is hisis pulled upon rather tha the halter, the colt will usually wall up without any- great trouble. If the colt is tied up, a rope should be passed through the halter, and around the belly, ,and tied in that manner. Then when he pulls upon it, it will tighten around belly, and pull there instead of an his head. COLBORNE - Consolidated Sehools.—The meeting of Colborne township ratepayers at the township hall on Thursday last. to hear what Dr. Chisholm, of the Depaiment of Education, had to say on the subject of consolidated schools, was well attended, those present in- cluding a number of ladies., The speaker was present on the invita- tion, of the Farmers' Club, whose president, Mr. W. L. Young, explain- ed the object of the meeting and called on Reeve -Gordon Young to take the chair. The township clerk, Mr. I. Hetherington, was asked to act as secretary. The Reeve briefly addressed the meeting, expressing his sympathy with the movement. Dr. Chisholm in his address referred to the .hundred successful consolidated schools in Manitoba and also to the two in Ontario. He explained- why such schools- were needed. In Col- borne township, with ten schools, the average attendance is only fifteen, covering all the grades, which in znany of the schools means ten classes, showing how little time can be given to any one class while the ex- penditure and energy go on the same as for forty or fifty pupils in the grad- ed consolidated school. He mentioned the frequent changing of teachers in the average rural school, whereas under the new system the position would be more permanent, being bet- ter paid and more attractive in a social way. Under . the present sys- tem the taxation is not evenly distri- buted, while with the consolidated school system the rate would be- equal to all, thus overcoming the high rate on weak sections, Fewer officials would be required. At present it takes thitty trustees to manage ten schools, while the new school would require only six. Having to compete with the- 'urban schools with regard to salary and boarding accommoda- tion, the rural schools are at a dis- advantage under the present system, while with the new system conditions would be changed and a better class of teachers could be secured. The new school would be sanitary and at- tractive, while many of the present schools are neither. Dr. Chisholm said under the present system eighty- five per cent. of the' children do not get past the fourth book. In the new school one room could be allowed for high school work, which would shorten the regular Collegiate period by two years. This would be a great advant- age, as it is not wise to send children away from home to school at an age when they most require their par- ents' care. Many -parents, too, feel they cannot afford to send the children away to school who would be quite willing to give them the time to at- tend the consolidated high school Blass and live at home. Besides, country conditions are ideal for study. The speaker also suggested that even if the consolidated 'school were net possible a " central school should 'be provided where high school work would be taken separately. Five shouldbedriven. These consolidated 'schools were started in Massachusetts forty-six years ago and are still carry- ing on there, Ontario has only two of these schools yet—one at -Guelph, started in 1904, and one in New On 1 tario, the "Hudson," started in 1911, 1 Saskatchewan and Alberta- are estab- 1 fishing four to six a year. The ma- jority of each section is required be- fore the section is taken into the new system. The Government makes a grant of $2,000 to the building cost. r An extra grant from the Department a of Agriculture is given if an assembly hall is built in connection with the school, up to one-quarter of the total cost of such hall. This hall 'would Ibe used' for community gatherings, ; • lectures, etc. The Department also i gives a grant of, from twenty.to thirty Iper cent. of the cost of transporta i ttion, which would be by means of a properly equipped van driven by a reliable driver. Also a grant of $100 was allowed for each teacher per annum. The speaker said the first step was to have a survey by the Department, which was without; cost to the sections..: Dr. Field in address- , ing the meeting said the time was i ripe for these new schools. Inspector J. E. Tom then spoke in regard to the location, and number of schools required in Colborne. He suggested two—one in the eastern and one for the western division. Rev. H. Ken- nedy also spoke favorably of the movement. On motion of Messrs. J. N. Kernigham and R. .M. Young ' it was decided to appoint a committeeto keep in touch with the movement, and on motion of Flessrs. H. Hill and G. Lamb the folloaring commission was appointed; L Hetherington, G., Bisset and J: N. Kernigh'an. On motion. of Messrs. R. M. Young and G. Bean' it was decided to ask the Department of Education to make the survey of the township. A vote sof, thank. was tendered the speakers and the meet- ing closed with "God Save the King." • ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN Estimates made by the bureau of statistics of the Pennsylvania depart - anent of agriculture show that female,- ,farm - household help received -on an a-verage of , x05.33 weekly during the last year. Forty-four women members of the American committee for devastated France including the medical. staff of the American women's hospitals, have received situations from the French government. Women in California are forming leagues, the members of which will wear mourning bands on their.sleeves on the date of execution of each mur- derer in that state in protest against capital punishment. When all the 100,000,000 women voters and the other millions of near voters are represented in Spain this spring one of the most notable Span- iards, Senor Golecoechea, the pres- ent minister of the' interior, will be one of the welcoming board to hold out a glad hand to the international group of feminists. THE BEST TONIC FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE Increase Your Nervous Energy by Building Up the Blood With Dr. • Williams' 'Pink Pills. Nervous people who have not . yet developed a disease that can be' re- cognized and treated by the medical profession have the greatest trouble in finding eelief. Irritation, headache, sleeplessness, nervous indigestion, all these discomforts make life miserable but are endured rather than; run a doctor's bill without hope of recovery. Every such sufferer should know the danger of such a condition to the nervous system. Nervous debility and even paralysis may result if the tone of the nerves is not restored by building up the blood.' As a tonic for the blood and nerves Dr. Willianis' Pink Pills have been used with the greatest success. They have a direct action on the blood and therefore en- able it to carry to the nerves the elements they need to fully restore their normal function—sand at the same time improve the general health. The benefits that follow the use of this medicine, is shown by •the state- ment of Mrs, Jenny Marr, R. R, No. 3, Port Rowan, a well known sehool teacher, who says:—"Some years ago I became greatly rundown, and was in this condition for nearly -a year. A. doctor whom I called in . said I was suffering from complete nervous prostration. It would hardly be pos- sible to tell all the symptoms of my case, but anyone !who has passed through a nervous breakdown will know -what I suffered. As I slid not seem to improve under the doctor's treatment, I decided to. try Dr. -Wil- liams' Pink Pills, andthe decision was - a fortunate one for me, as I soon foundsome relief through the use of the pills, and after taking eight boxes I was fully restored to health. To -clay I am strong and hearty, with- out an ache or pain, and for my pres- ent physical condition I feel I am in- debted to Dr. Williams' -Pink Pills, and can heartily recommend then; to anyone suffering from nervous trou- bles," You can procure Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine or they will be sent you by nail at 50 cents, a box or six boxes for ,2.50 by writing direct to The Dr. Wil - smiles is the longest distance a child 1 liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. CELLS OF BODY TATE IfOREM EXPOSITOR 5 - Proof. That They Do -Not Die When the Tidy Does. Aver was 'there a more con- vincing.PrcW# oldie recently discoir : ered fact that the cells of the body do not die when the body 'dies, but live on, how long no one yet knows, than that contained in an article by Dr. Albert H. Ebeling, of the Rocke- feller Instittte for Medical Research, in the Journal of Experimental Medicine. In this article Dr. Ebe- ling describes his experiences with a piece or the heart of an unhatched chicken. This was, cut out by Dr. Alexis Carrel on January 17, 1912. To=day it is still- alive: Needless to say, the embryo chick from which it i{gas cut has turned to dust -long ago. The fragment is a bit of connective tissue. Not only is it alive, but it has been growing all these seven years. The old cells have been forming new ones, .taking the material for this purpose from the medium in which they have .been -kept. This medium i:: a clot formed by mixing the blood plasma' of adult chickens with an ex- natal, x- u ut of chick embryo in. equal parts. Thr latter is obtained by washing t•,?ven or eight -day old embryos in Tiingeri,' solution, chopping thein up tire, centrifuging for ten minutes and drawing off the super -natant fluid. The, fragments of heart are kept in glasses filled with this fluid and carefully covered. They are left un- disturbed for forty-eight hours and then a fragment is transferred to a black glass, in which it is cut with a cataract knife into two or three pieces as nearly equal as possible. Each of these pieces is washed in. Ringer's solution and placed in a glass with;fresh fresh medium, there to grow undisturbed for another forty- eight hours when they are ready for examination. This process - has been repeated 1,390 times, and the latest strains are still growing• --in fact, they are growing more rapidly than when first the piece was taken. During the first year the growth was slow and irregular. When the strain was twenty-eight ,months old the frag- ments of tissue which showed the maximum speed in growth increased fifteen times their areal forty-eight hours. The seven-year-ol.'strain may sometimes become forty times larger than the 'original *fragments in forty- eight hours. This is probably due to the fact that as time went on the doctors have improved- the. medium and are now using one that exactly suits the connectiTe tissue of the hear t. The speed of growth can be watch- ed under the microscope, and Dr. Ebeling's article is accompanied by soipe splendid photographic enlarge- ments. One of these shows a piece of the tissue magnified 240 times, photographed on April 25, 1919, af- ter forty-eight hours growth; It shows a` mass of living cells of conte nective tissue, each with its' nu eleus shosvipg as a dark spot, .Australia's Big Irrigation Scheme. 'Thirty thousand acres of land will be submerged by the construction of a mammoth dam in southeastern Australia, the object of which is to form a. great irrigation reservoir. Work has started on the structp.re, which will be located on the Murray river a short distance below the con- :duence of f _ Mit to Mitts, Creek with that river. It is estimated that the project will cost $8,000,000 to com- plete. Approximately 43,560,000,- 000 cubic feet 'of water will beaim- pounded. The total length of the dam will be 3,601 feet...This will comprise three sections: An earthen dam, '2,700 feet long; a concrete speedway, 740 feet long, and an outlet works of the same material, 161 feet long. At some points the dam will be near- ly 100 feet in height. The foundation will extend down to -a stratum of granite, 34 feet below the surface`of the earth. Only a comparatively small por- tion.of the dam will be situated in the river bed proper, as the greater part will extend across an alluvial flat on the left bank of the stream. In constructing tee' earthen dain, a concrete core wall will be built, and covered with stone to reinforce the dirt embankment. Thirty-one sluice gates -Will be installed in the spillway section. Water turbines, placed in the dam will furnish power to- oper- ate these. The outlet works will be pierced by eight 6 -foot pipes, equip- ped with valves and capable of dis- charging 8,000 cubic feet of water a second under a 29 -foot head. ---Popu- lar Mechanics. ° Trains Driven by Air. Many people believe that the only way railway trains will be. driven in the future will ,be by means of elec- tricity, but if the new system now being tried on the Italian state railway is as cheap as .experts pre- dict it will be then our railways will be driven by air! By this new system air is com- pressed into big central tanks, from which it is distributed to special air fuel stations along the railway line by means of strong pipes. At these air fuel stations locomotives will be able to „ stop and refill their own tanks with compressed air. It is said that the building of air tanks along the' railway and the laying of pipes will be nothing like so costly as . electrification, which requires not only a third of track, but means altering the engines. With compressed air the modern steam. -engine requires very little .al- teration, and so the enormous ex- pense of a complete new set of en- gines would be dons away with. The fuel is easf enough to get! Moreover, it is absolutely clean, 'and this will be one of the necessary qualities of any motive power of the future.
