DISTRICT MATTERS
A GENTLE LAXATIVE
FOR THE CHILDREN
Mothers—the surest way of keep-
ing your little ones well and happy—
whether it is the new-born babe or
'the growing child, is to keep their
bowels regular and their stdrnach
sweet. Nine -tenths of all childhood
ailments are the result of clogged
bowels and sour stomach. The most
necessary and the best medicine for
little ones is a gentle laxative—
something that will relieve constipa-
tion; sweeten the stomach and pro-
mote rest and natural sleep. Such
a medicine is Baby's Own Tablets.
They are a gentle but efficient laxa-
tive; are absolutely guaranteed free
from opiates or other injurious drags
and may be given to the youngest in-
fant with perfect safety. They ban-
ish constipation and indigestion; break
up colds and simple fevers and give
the baby that health and happiness
which all children should have. They
are sold by medicine dealers or by
mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville,
Ont.
A NEW "TOE -HOLT!"
A stocking which has outlived its
usefulness because of worn out toes
may be mended in this manner, not
once, but repeatedly, thus giving it
almost unlimited service; something
-greatly to be prized in these days of
top -soaring prices. Press the foot of
the stocking flat as when worn then
cut off the toe for enough back upon
the foot so that no seams will come
across the "bunion joint."
From another stocking, pressed so
that the back seam comes at one
edge, cut a new toe -point exactly like
the discarded one, except for allow-
ing small seams, placing one side of
the pattern along the seamless fold.
This saves a few stitches, and looks
better when the toe is finished. Seam
the edges of the new toe together,
then—and this is the secret of the
method's success—arrange the new
tip so that the seam will be under the
toes instead of at the sides of the
foot. This can be done by joining
the flattened seam to the center of the
stocking foot, and the fold and a
very small portion of the toe -seam
comes on the top of the foot. Unless
sewed very tightly, or with extremely
coarse thread, neither seam of this
new toe will hurt the most sensitive
foot.
A TIGHT POCKET TO FOiL THE
"DIPS"
Despite the efforts of the police,
those most brazen of all the crooks,
the pickpockets, will slip into a city
with a crowd. Crowds are as neces-
sary to pickpockets as to exhibition
managements. They cannot operate
except in a crowd. Pickpockets do
not settle down in a city, like most
other crooks, until they have made
things too warm for themselves.
They follow the crowds. They travel
like theatrical troupes. Fairs, race
meets, conventions and carnivals are
their hunting grounds. Thus they not
only obtain the crowds, hut being with
many strangers they are inconspicu-
ous.
There is only one way to protect
yourself against pickpockets. They
are not purse snatchers. They never
use violence. Stealth is their watch-
word. If they cannot remove your
oryour watch or
wallet v h your roll of
bills withoutro or anybody -bod else
u
Y
y
knowing it they do not attempt it.
Therefore, if your valuables are
hard to get at they are safe. The
rule to apply to yourself is—if you
keep your money in a place that is
':.3f s;nuitiAas:ww:�ib
difficult for you yourself to get at It
is secure.
Ninety per cent. of men kftp their
ready money in their side trouser
pockets and their "roll"in a wallet or
bill fold in the inside pocket on the
right side of their coat. That pocket
is invariably'a loose pocket. And in
summer, the coat is unbuttoned, that
pocket is simply flapping in the face
of the pickpocket.
'At one time the hip pocket was a
favorite place for the wallet, but
times have changed.
Now the pickpocket does not go
rambling through a crowd fishing at
random into every pocket he can get
at. Instead of that he will spend an
hour plying about in the crowd, as
watchful as a cat, until he sees evi-
dence of a good haul. That is when
some man, having exhausted his sup-
ply of small cash, reaches into his
wallet and extracts a new big bill.
The pickpocket has then seen where
the wallet is kept and whether it
looks fat enough to equal the risk.
Then with the assistance of his two
or more helpers he does his jostling
act and lifts the prize.
Pickpockets usually work in threes.
Two to crowd the victim while the
"artist" does the trick. When you
have been in a jostling crowd for an
hour you do not notice anything a-
miss when soraeone jostles you a lit-
tle harder or a little closer than
seems necessary. Having seen where
the wallet or roll is kept, the gang
follows the victim until he is in the
midst of a jam. Then one stands
behind the victim to prevent him giv-
ing way. The "dip" stands right in
front of and against the victim, slight-
ly sideways, and the third member,
standing in front of the "dip," sud-
denly moves clumsily backwards, so
shoving the "dip" heavily against the
victim. The "dip" has the natural
appearance of a man losing his bal-
ance. He clutches at the victim for
support. In that instant his hands,
trained for years on his comrades un-
til they have a conjurer's speed and
dexterity, have made the snatch. The
man behind, meanwhile, having pre-
vented the victim from giving way
before the pressure.
Moat expert pickpockets refuse to
attempt anything but money. Jewels
and watches are too dangerous to
have upon one's person if caught. But
a wallet is quickly dropped.
Women rarely carry enough money
to retake them profitable victims. But
if a woman stands in a crowd with
her bag hanging from her hand at
her side thssre is nothing to prevent
a conscientious "dip" from opening
it and exploring its interior. There
are, of course, pickpockets known
as 'moll buzzers" who specialize on
women. But in the crook world the
name "moll buzzer" is a term of con-
tempt. It is small pickings.
A device used very successfuly by
one gang that operated not long ago
in Toronto was to pretend that a wo-
man had fainted. They had a girl
in their "mob" who stood in front of
the "dip" who was in front of the
chosen victim. Suddenly the girl
would topple over, and in the excite-
ment the "dip" would turn and with
cries of "Give her air!" would press
against the victim and do his work.
Excitement of any kind is a valu-
able cover for the pickpocket.
The rule is—keep your money in a
tight pocket, and when you have to
take out your roll do so as secretly
and unostentatiously as possible.
Pickpockets don't like Toronto. its
systeni of justice is too harsh, in
their opinion. Every mob has a bank-
er resident in some city, usually a-
cross the line. If they do get into
trouble they wire the hawker for bail
money and skip their hail. In To-
ronto the magistrates often refuse
bail altogether! Could anything be
more unkind? And if they do set a
bail it is so high as to be out of the
question.
Then, a mere magistrate can sen-
tence a man to years and years in
prison! Compared with the States,
Canada is, after
all, a most unreliable
place for pickpocket.
Nevertheless—a tight pocket is
best.
75 i'ER CENT. OF FURS ARE
MADE OF RABBIT
The raising of rabbits for commer-
cial purposes is now an industry of
some magnitude.
The commercial
rabbit is not just the ordinary "cot-
ton-tail"
cotton-tail" of the hush. Just as there
are certain "standards" of dogs and
horses so there are of rabbits. At
present there are about. 411 recogniz-
ed standard breeds.
The largest association now
oper-
ating has about 25,000 members
throughout the whole of North Amer-
ica/
A White Flemish rabbit, adjudged
to he the finest specimen in America,
has his life Lnsured for $1,000. Rab-
bits are registered and pedigreed and
records kept just the same as are
horses, cattle, etc. But the breeding
of standard rabbits for show pur-
poses is only a side line.
Rabbits are bred for meat and fur.
Rabbit fur is very rarely, if ever, ad-
vertised as rabbit fur. Nevertheiloss
rabbit pelts have a ready market.
And it will surprise most people to
know the uses to which they are put.

The general objection to rabbit furs
is that they, lack duraidlfty. .This is
somewhat unfair to poor bunny. As -
on many animals there are two kinds
of hair on the pelt of the rabbit, a
soft, downy wool lying deep near the
akin and a long, thick, rough hair
which extends ober the down and acts
as a protection. But in order to imi-
tate the various high-priced furs,
these long hairs are either clipped or
plucked. Thus the down is robbed of
its outer protection and the fur is
weakened. No wonder the rabbit fur
is said to lack durability. If the
outer feathers of the goose are pluck-
ed, the soft down will soon disap-
pear.

(WORK COMMENCED ON NEW
BUILDINGS OF WESTERN
UNIVERSITY, LONDON
The dream of a great University
for Western Ontario at London is
actually coming true. After years
of struggie against seemingly im-
possible odds, ground is already
broken and the construction of the
first unit of an imposing group of
buildings which are to comprise West-
ern University (The Western Ontario
University, London) is under way.
How wonderful this achievement and
its great significance are not realiz-
ed by many. Western University is
to be a magnificent institution and
the centre of education and culture
for the whole of Western Ontario.
The buildings are to be of grey
stone in the beautiful collegiate goth-
ic style. They will go down to fu-
ture generations as London's work
of greatest architectural beauty. The
building site contains more than 250
acres and slopes gently toward the
south-east. The Medway and Thames
Rivers almost encircle the whole area.
The grounds make a beautiful park
containing many wonderful stretches
of lawns and clumps of trees, with
here and there stately elms standing
guard near the river bank. On a
bluff is a grove of pines, while to the
south of the Main Building is a small
bush of hard -wood trees untouched
by the hand of man. The new build-
ings are being planted into the
grounds without disturbing the turf
levels or cutting away a shrub or
tree and will soon become a part of
the landscape.
Plans are also well advanced for
the construction of a Gymnasium
which it is hoped will meet the re-
quirements of both the men and wo-
men of the University. Western is
fortunate in having as a recent ap-
pointment Dr. George A. Smith, a
graduate of Western, who has been
a noted athlete and is recognized as
one of the best men in his line in
Canada. Dr. Smith will assume his
duties as Faculty Supervisor of Phys-
ical Education on the opening of the
fall term. He intends to make West-
ern a leader in clean sport and high
class athletics. He hopes that the
University may soon lead in physical
education and training.
The opinion is gradually gaining
ground that the things really worth
while in university life are available
in as great measure in university
circles in London, Ontario, as in
similar circles elsewhere. Albert
Mansbridge, M.A., of Oxford L.L.D.,
of Cambridge, England, the President
of the World's Association for Adult
Education, and the founder of the
workers' Educational Association,
was invited last winter to visit the
colleges and universities of the States
came to Canada, visiting Toronto, Mc-
Gill and Western 'Universities. Af-
ter being here a while he said, "I per-
ceive that there is a different atmos-
phere in this institution than that
which usually prevails in the colleges
and universities of this Continent. I
have visited practically every acade-
mic centre of importance and have
studied the greater universities in-
timately; I have inspected a large
amount of magnificent equipment and
have seen many wonderful college
buildings ; in fact, I have been
brought into contact with all that
money can buy; but to -day I have to
my surprise sensed the very atmos-
phere that prevails in the great uni-
versities in the Motherland. Here
at Western you have not as yet the
buildings you require but have what
is far morerecious namelythe at-
mosphere of culture. Here is where
men and women may procure a real
education."
The buildings are intended to last
forever. The type of architecture is
so simple and so pure that it will be
in good taste for all time. The
Main Building will possess a thirty-
foot tower in which will be placed
a Memorial to the sons and daugh-
ters of Middlesex County who lost
their lives in the great war. There
will also be a Memorial Assembly
Hall; while temporarily the Library
will be accommodated in this build-
ing. Comparatively few people are
aware that Western University pos-
sesses exceptional library facilities.
Few universities on the continent can
compare with our own Western On-
tario University in this respect. The
Barnett collection and the special de-
partmental libraries aggregating 60
thousand volumes provides a unique

Near the Main Buliding on the north
side is the new Science Building. This
is similar to the Main Building in
type and material. Within it will
be housed the Scientific Departments
of the College of` Arts, namely, Geol-
ogy, Mineralogy, Physics, Chemistry,
Biology, Zoology, Botany, Entomology
and the laboratories and museums
necessary for these Departments. As
the University grows other buildings
will be erected to house these various
Departments' while this building will
be retained for ultimate use by some
one branch of National Science.
Plane are prepared for dormitories
which will be constructed on the
"unit system." It is hoped that each
of the Counties of Western Ontario
may decide to participate in the
building operations of Western Uni-
versity and will provide the means
necessary for a dormitory or resi-
dence either for men or women. These
dormitories will be named after the
Ccunties contributing to their cost.
For forty-four years Western Uni-
versity has been making its contri-
butions to the life and upbuilding of
the community. Sometimes the road
has been extremely difficult and the
tasks have been heavy, but, notwith-
standing the seasons of discourage-
ment, considerable progress has been
possible. There have been from time
to time various manisfestations of
growth. Sometimes preparatory
schools for boys and girls; some-
times a ladies' college or college of
arts, law, theology, medicine or music
occupied public attention. Each
Nourished for a time or until the ed-
ucational experiment fulfilled its pur-
pose. So the process has gone on.
The University has acquired experi-
ence and has been able to adapt it-
self to the peculiar needs of its con-
stituency. To -day there are three
strong faculties, viz: Arts, Medicine
and Public Health, and an extension
Department that compares favorably
with' that of any other sniversity in
Canada. There are one hundred and
twenty-five Professors and Instruc-
tors and eight hundred and thirty-
five students enrolled ; at the pres-
ent time there are three affiliated Col-
leges. The degrees granted by the
Western Ontario University are equal
to the hest degrees of similar char-
acter granted by standard institu-
tions of higher erucation throughout
the American continent. Western
University is a public service insti-
tution, seeking to serve the whole
community and it hopes to make it-
self of value to every man, woman,
boy and girl in Western Ontario who
desires either directly or indirectly
to get a better education.
