Condi- tions make it necessary for the motor er to keep them in the house: They are often confined to overheated, bad- ly ventilated rooms and catch colds which rack their whole system. To guard against this a box of Baby's Own Tablets should be kept in the house and an occasional dose given the baby to keep its stomach and trowels working regularly. This will not fail to break up colds and keep the health of the baby in good condi- tion till the brighter days come along. The Tablets are sold by medicine alealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

MOST SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF TUBERCULOSIS At a recenttuberculosis congress held at Salt ,Lake City, Dr. F. M, Pot - tenger, of Monrovia, Cal., outlined the iaethhodo of treatment,whioh &sad'prow- ed most successful. The following is summarized from the New York Med- ioai Journal's report of the address: Rest is one of the most important and motet helpful measures:- Every patient who has active tuberculosis should be put to bed and taught to rektor and rest. This should be col- leted until all [periods of active toxemia are past and the patient can foe else without danger of causing toxic symptoms. This may mean three months in early oases; it may .mean six, eight, twelve or even more lin the advanced oases. And during n11 this time the physician must keep the patient happy and contented so ebat he will co-operate wholeheart- edly. Food hole heart- FFood is an important factor. Three goad meals a day consisting of foods pi' all classes, including a plentiful sti*ly of those rich in vitamins, cairn -ftp milk ,'eggs and green 'rege- habiies, 3s' the beat for most patients. Bxerci1ee 'hominids ae 'important a part of the 'hteatraenb-r+w en the thine e for its employment eoraes - as de rent when it is indicated. After a pl'o- lon'ged . period of rent, exercise must be presonibed cautiously. I usually get the patient up Mostly, not increas- ing tie time of fitting up Wt first more than ten minutes a day. After a patient has been sitting ep three [hours without tiring, I let him play around outside of his room or bunga- low until he gets accustomed to light exercise. After this procedure has been followed for a few days, walking is begun. At first the distance for- ward is increased by fifty feet a day; later it is increased by a hundred or two hundred feet. This exercise must be carried out carefully and nothaphariardly. Every- thing that is done for the tuberculosis patient should be dove with care and exactness. The time in bed, the ex- ercise, the food, the way to make beet use of open air, the mental attitude —in fact, everything must be pre- scribed in minutiae for each patient. Generalizations have a bad influence and I know of eating more hazard - pus to the tuberculosis patient than over-exertion. It is no longer necessary to insist that the tuberculosis patient should be treated in the open air. Our ideas regarding open air have changed very much since we have learned that it is the •mechanical effects of the im- pact of the moving air upon the deli - rate nerves of the skin and not the oxygen content. that makes open air so superior to the air in closed rooms. Some patients fear draughts of air. If they will live entirely in the open, or in rooms witb large openings in- stead of small windows they will avoid the force of the air which is present when forced through small openings and which is commonly known as draughts, and get the full benefit of the grooving air without getting its chilling effects. Heliotheraphy is a valuable adjunct to treatment. At first a small area should be exposed, and this should be increased each day until the entire body is exposed. The time of ex- posure, too, should be increased by about ten minutes a day until an hour has been attained. While taking sun baths patients may either lie down, sit or walk. according to their desires, their physical strength and the ar- rangements for privacy. The pa- tient's head should be shielded from the sun during the bath, and if faint- ness or headache should supervene, cold cloths or ice should be applied to the bead. While the sun's rays in the mountains, the desert and at the seashore may be -most efficacious be- cause of their greater content of chemical rays, value can be derived from this measure wherever the sun shines. And throughout it •all the patient must be kept happy and,contented. TREAT RHEUMATISM THROUGH THE BLOOD Liniments and Rubbing Only Give Temporary Relief. .Rheumatism is a trouble extremely dufiieuit to get rid of. If a tendency to rheumatism is established in the system it makes itself manifest by a return of the acute spains with every spell of bad weather. This is why so many people think the trouble is due to cold or damp. The fact is known, however, to medical men, that with the appearance of rheumatism there is a rapid thinning of the blood, and that the rheumatic poisons are only expelled from the system when the blood is restored to its normal condi- tion. This means that bo drive rheu- matism from the system it must be treated through the blood, and for this purpose Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have been very successful, as they build up and enrich the blood, thus easing the taohing, swollen joints and benefitting the health . of the sufferer in other ways as well. Among the rheumatic sufferers who ,have satisfactorily used this medicine is Mrs. James Gillen, Charlottetown, P.E.I., who aaye: "For three long months I 'suffered to tlbly fram rheumatism. I was so bad that I could not do my housework, and even to attempt to walk caused me agony. I spent a great deal of money on liniments and medicines without getting the least benefit, and my con- dition was *table. At this stage my attention was called to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I began baking this medicine, and shall always praise the clay I did so. Before long there was no doubt that 'I had at last found something that would give me relief. I gladly continued using the pills with the result that I am now as well as ever I was, 'able to do my housework and care for my children. Since that time one of my daughters fell into an anaemic condition and was obliged to discontinue going to school. I gave her Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and now she is as healthy a ,girl as there is in the city.

He 'stamped 'himself even then upon my mind as one, who had no conception whatever of the meaning er I pressure of fear. Acquaintance ripened rapidly into friendship, and 'fuller knowledge of , his practice in the hunting field ' confirmed my clear conviction that he was the bravest man I ever saw riding to 'hounds." When he left Oxford Jadk Scott became a student in the chambers of Lord Birkenhead, who was then Sir Frederick Smith, and he showed great industry ane ability without any special promise of "that inde- fineble compound of qualities which is the soil of great forensic success." " In August, 1914, the was a junior officer in the Sussex Yeomanry, burning to get to the front as soon as possible. It seemed to him that the swiftest way would be through the air force, •and though he had never been in an airplane, and was more than thirty years old, the prospect of air fighting made auoh an irresistible appeal to thim that , he was transferred to that branch , of the service. Says the Lord Chancellor; "Quite early in the war he joined the R.A.F., and thereafter commenced • an Odyssey of hazard, adventure and terrible accidents which can 'hardly have been ex- ceeded in the annals of the air." On one occasion before he went to France his machine collapsed when he was 2000 feet in the air. During the terrible fall_ that fol- lowed he was working and trying and testing, and when some 60 feet from the ground he regained a degree of control that saved his life, but left him permanently a cripple. For months he lay in hospital, and in that time the doctors had no assur- ance that he would ever lt'ave his bed, but his constitution and his pluck triumphed. He hobbled forth and for a while did some staff work for the R.A.F. Then 'he determined to go to France and take part in the fighting. "To fight in an air- plane," he said, "was one thing a lame mean could do as well as another." His own doctor said he ' was quite unfit to go, and we infer that Lord Birkenhead tried to have him kept in England. He succeeded. for only a month, and then Jack Scott, the embodiment of gaiety, told him one evening that he had been • accepted and was off for the front. "It was not an exaggeration to say that in a service manned by heroes he was universally admitted within three months to be one of the most brilliant and daring. Major Bishop, V.C., was under his com- mand in the squadron, and he him- self told me at a later period that for cool and unshakeable courage he never in his extperience met i Scott's equal. Readers of Bishop's book will remember the part played by the 'Major' in one of its most thrilling episodes. The `Major' ' was Jack Scott. He had accident I after accident, and escape after escape, and those who knew him began to say that he bore a charmed life. And he continued to fight in the air until Armistice Day, com- manding the 60th Squadron, and habitually violating the rule, which in the later :stages of the struggle ' forbade the commanding officers of squadrons to engage personally in air combat. When positively re- fused to obey, saying: 'I will not send boys to fight unless I 'go with them. Lower my rank, if you like, and then I can fight.'" The Lord Chancellor continues: "He met with accident after acci- dent, until hardly a rpart of his body was quite unseatheej, but it seemed as if no risk or combination of risks could destroy so tenacious a life or daunt a spirit so buoyant." Yet it happened that Jack Scott, taking the first holiday which the had allowed himself in fifteen months, caught a cold at St. Moritz and un- wisely took no ,precautions, with the result that double pneumonia set in, and, after a few days' illness, death came. He was made Air Secrebary by Winston Churchill, a position he held under Captain Guest, and the Lord 'Chancellor quotes 'his official superior as predicting that one day he was likely to be chief of the air staff. The Lord Chancellor's tribute concludes:— "I oncludes;"I know of no character in history or fiction of w,homi the more don- stantly reminded me than of 'Valiant' in `Pilgrim's Progress' walking into the dark river. And, like Valiant, he, too, during foul years of cool and inextinguishable daring, might have asked with the same contempt, '0, Death, where is thy sting? 0, Grave, where is thy victory. A more constant heart never beat for those 'he loved, nor a more valiant one for England." We fail to see the virtue of sen',nc- ing that Toronto bandit to life ma- prisonment in penitentiary and then one hour in jail. Seems to us the "life" is quite enough.—Sudbury News.

There are approxi - Mately 1,600,000 ,torsos in Canada, all of which are used as a source ot pnotor power. One and a balf mil- lion may not seem to be a large number, but it we were to place the horses in, the Dominion bead and Lail In one ,long parade line, they would reach from Halifax to •Vancou- ver.

The farm. horse as a farm motor differs from• the mechanical farm motor In that It 1s self t',ding, self I aintaining, self reproducing, and suit controlling. These goal, ties give the horse a' tremendous advantage over the mechanical devic' s used for field work on the farm:. and for haulage on the roads. The Horse Largely a Self Feeder. Self feeding meaus a lot. There is no carburetor ou the horse; nor are spark plug required. Green grass, good clean hay and outs, the pro- ducts of the fields in which the horse labors, produce the energy that keeps • up the horse's body, and keeps him going as a motor while labor is be- ing performed. The Animal Motor a Reliable One. Within the horse's body cavity there is a wonderful sell' maintain - lug motor. The heart, the lungs, and, the digestive organs mak,- an engine combination of great efnrmocy. This hidden motor made of 11, ab, blood and tissue keeps tight, and makes its own repairs. Furthcrutvre, the horse motor develops pep, ur places in reserve energizing substances that may be need on demand. The mech- anical motor when at n•t does not Improve nor grow strouger as does the horse, but frequently wastes or rusts. The high cost of gasoline; oil and motor mechanic serve..., together with the too frequent neglect that is accorded tractors on many farms, has reacted to the advantage of the faithful horse. Old Dobbin Has Horse Sense. Old Dobbin, is also peesessed of horse sense. No mechanical motor yet devised has possessed thta func- tion. unestion. Fuel for the horse motor is grown on the farm, and alt profits remain on the farm.. There Is no tax on it either.—Lionel Stevenson, Secretary Dept. ot agriculture,' Toronto. ANNUAL INVENTORY. 1 Keep a Record of What You Own and What It Is Worth. The man on the land can learn much about his own farming opera- tions by taking an inventory each. year. No form of record will give so much Information about the year's worlc as will an inventory properly lak'm at a definitely fixed date each year. The usual time for taking an inventory of the farm business is in March, when there is toast feed and unsold 'produce on hand. The in- ventory of any ordinary farm can be taken in a half day, so there is no excuse on account of shortage of time. The information gleaned about the farm business. through the study made possible by inventory taking : is worth many times the expenditure o&.tlme and effort. For convenlece in keeping the farm inventory any blank record book with pages wide enough to per- mit spacing for a number of columna eau be used, and if ruled to accom- modate the entries for a number of years so much the better.{ --L. Steven- son; Secretary, Dept. of Agriculture, Toronto. How to Select the Reveling Rain. Select a rant that 1» asesaes scale, .but not to the extent" that he is lack- ing In quality.
