John Ward, Vicar of Stratford-on-Avon, to reach five figures when the society sell it at auction in April. Although most of the contents of the sixteen little pocket volumes are notes .and comments on events between 1648 and 1679 of no particular importance, some others refer to conversations with persons who had known Shake­ speare intimately as well as the mem­ bers of his circle in Lot’ll1 London and Stratford. For example, hero is a piece in the 1661-3 volume: “Shakespeare, Drayton and Ben Jhonson had a merry meeting,.ahd it seems drank too hard, for Shake­ speare died of a feavour there con­ tracted.” Dr. Charles Severn, the Registrar to the Medical Society, who exam­ ined tike Diary in 1839 and left com­ ments on certain of its entries', wrote that “it seems reasonale to suppose that this was a matter concerning which the Rev. John Ward would have made inquiries, whenever cir­ cumstances brought the history of Shakespeare into conversation.” In another place the diarist says that “Shakespeare’s allowance for plays a year was so large that he spent at the rate of £1,000 a year.” The diarist is credited by Dr. Sev­ ern with having possessed a copy of the folio edition—which issues is not clear—with the autograph- "W. Shake­ speare,” written on a slip of paper and pasted in. Dr. Severn suggest­ ed that it was probably a genuine autograph obtained by Mr. Ward. In all, there are about twenty pages, for the most part containing anecdotes and episodes concerning the poet, which came to Mr, Ward at second hand and some of them with­ in twenty years after Shakespeare*® death. The following entries show how certain curious subjects were re­ garded at Stratford in’the middle of the seventeenth century: “Dr. Conyers dissected a person not long since, that died for love in London; and they found (at least as they fancied') the impression face made upon his heart.” “When Sir Thomas More was oner him shut why, shut igone;”” “I saw Ben Johnson’s play, called1 the Alychymist, acted, in which two parts were acted well, -the Dr. and the Puritan, the latter incomparably well, at the playhouse, which is the King’c, 'betwixt Lincoln’s ‘Inn Field and Vere Street;” In turning over Diary, it becomes almost Burton, and that, like him, down such passages as fancy.

Even farmers who reap the greatest benefit from the food habits of these birds seem, in large measure, to be ignorant of the good they do. Boys, reared on farms, learn early to shoot them, having con­ ceived the idea that they are pests, and the habit persists in manhood.

Stod­ dard, biologist, of the United States Department of Agriculture, in his quail study in Georgia, jointly spon­ sored by the Department of Agricul­ ture and the local sportsmen of the region. Mr. Stoddard found in more than 1,000 meals of marsh hawks only .two quail, 'but fully 1,000 cotton rats, which rodent in turn was found to have taken 15 .per cent, of all quail eggs destroyed?” Mr. Miller gives the following data on stomach contents of a few of these supposedly harmful birds: “Of 562 stomachs of the red-tailed hawk, from all sections of the coun­ try, only 54 examined contained poul­ try oi’ game, only 51 contained other society, discusses the value of and owls.

Wins Prize A signal tribute has been paid by Harvard University to the quality of Canadian advertising by the selection of the Diamond Jubilee Compalgn of the Canadian Pacific Railway as the best institutional campaign in North America for th,e year 1927. An award of this nature is made each year h7 the Harvard Business School with the object of raising the standard of advertising, and includes a cheque of two thousand dollars to the advertising agency which handles- the campaign, The fortunate winner in this case is Mr. W. P. Tuttle, President of the Ronalds Advertising Agency of Montreal. This is the first occasion in which a Canadian campaign has been so honored. The announcement was made at a banquet held recently at the Faculty Club of Harvard. The Cana­ dian Pacific Campaign was unique in the fact that it was bi-lingual, the adver­ tisements being in both French and English, It illustrated and described the part played by the railway in helping to build up the Dominion of Canada dur­ ing the sixty years of Confederation, and was cleverly built up on;the Idea of the open pages of a book. A sample of this advertising is reproduced above, clearly depicting trans­ portation methods of Canada’s childhood and that of to-day. down condition. I grew so weak that; I had to lie in bed a part of every day. I could not do any work and ; was taking medicine all the time, try­ ing one medicine after another. I was advised to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and I have reason to be thankful that I acted on this advice ,as this was the first medicine that gave me any relief, and in a comparatively . short time restored me to the bless- ’ ing of good health. When I think of the marvellous good these pills did me, I can most highly recommend them to all weak, nervous 'people.'*” If you are at all run-down, ox* weak, you should begin at once to take Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and you will soon be well and strong. These pills are sold by all medicine dealers or will be sent by mail at 50 cents a box by The Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont. ——•—-------— Canadian Asbestos Deposits Canadian asbestos deposits are of particular Interest supplying as they do the largest part of the world’s’ de- 1 mands for the short grades of fibre.

Dr. Mulert, President o fthe Asso­ ciation of German Cities, came right back at the Executive of the Nation­ al Association of German Industries with a lettexr which, as summarized by the Frankfurtei' Zeitung, laid stress upon the fact that immoderate use of alcoholic drinks certainly did have a cohuoction with the cost of municipal adminlstx’gtion, and that it was only fair that persons abusing liquor to such an extent as to become public burdens should at least help pay for tho extra expense they were preparing for the community. The dispute is reported as becom Ing more acrimonious as it continues.

Many mothers give their children solid foods at too early an age and say proudly that theii’ babies “eat everything that grown up people do.” Such a course is almost certain to bring on indigestion and lay the foun­ dation of much ill-health for the lit­ tle one. Other mothers administer harsh, nauseating purgatives which in real­ ity irritate and injure stomach and bowels and at the same time cause the children to dread ail medicine. Absolutely no meat should be given to a child until it reaches the age of 18 months, and then only if approved by the doctor. For medicine, all strong, disagreeable oils and powders should be abandoned and Baby's Own Tablets given instead. Baby’s Own Tablets are especially made for little ones. They are plea­ sant to take and can be given with absolute safety to even the new-born babe. They quickly banish constipa­ tion and indigestion, break up colds and simple fevers and make -the cut­ ting of teeth easy.

A. E. Guest, of Qui- bocolo, West Central Africa, has spent a lifetime teaching natives of Darkest Africa to abandon certain suggestive dances. He has just come to London to. learn that civilization is doing the very steps which he has asked the na-1 tives to omit from their repertoire. ‘ , - ■ ■- ,, , ■ ------ , -“Each kick and each wiggle of 5ler ’ have happened if these dances has its own particular meaning,” Mr. Guest explained, “and I feel certain that if British dancers had any idea of these meanings they would never dance the Heebee-Jeehje ox* the Black Bottom again.” Shocked Beyond Words. The minister was "shocked beyond words,” he said, at an Islington Church. “This is the most serious problem that confronts the- missionary in Af­ rica to-day. One of the chief reasons for the prevalence of this immorality is the performance of dances similar1 to the Black Bottom,” he declared. “The Black Bottom which I saw per­ formed by scores of young people at a London dance hall is nothing more nor less than an adaptation of a na­ tive African dance, tho meaning of which is too horrible to describe.” Mr. Guest hastened to explain his theory. “Until he becomes of a certain age an African boy is not allowed to mix with girls. “On attaining what the tribe con­ siders his manhood, he goes through an Initiation. “This takes the form of a dance exactly like the Black Bottom, which is performed by men wearing gro­ tesque marks. Its actual meahing must be left to the imagination. Gives Right to Wed. “When this dance is over the youth goes and takes as many ‘wives’ as he wants, 30 being about the usual num­ ber.” To dances in general, the ministei’ said, he had no objection, but he knew from first hand observation that the Black Bottom and the Heebie-Jee­ bies were nothing less than exhibi­ tions of primitive animalism. "At Quibocolo,” he said, "we sus­ pended native Christians for even watching the Black Bottom; yet I come home and find my white breth­ ren performing the same immoral dances that are the curse of darkest Africa.

Two Kinds Only There are only two kinds of bears in the United States, according to David Newall, the artist-naturalist writing in the March issue of “Child Life Magazine.” These are the griz­ zly and the black bear. The brown bear, the author of “Cougars and Cowboys” says, is mere­ ly a black bear that forgot to turn black. “Most folks,” he points out, "think that the brown bear is a dif­ ferent kind of a bear, but it is really just a brown-colored black bear. An old mother black bear will often have brown cubs! And when these brown cubs are grown, they may have black babies of their own. Sometimes the brown bears are dark, dark brown and sometimes light brown.” However, brown bears are only found in the west. “Strange to say, the black bears in the eastern states never have brown cubs!” Use Baby ©hicks—we^iat<.’h four varieties of Baby Chicks.
