The Radio and Geography. The whole earth is beginning to be fairly well harnessed up with networks of both communication and measure- ment; much filling remains to be done, but above all the large links must be accurately measured. Originally the distances between the continents could only be measured when cables were laid, and it required the undivided ser- vice of a. whole cable during periods of time camparison—an expensive pro- cess. Now large radio stations trans- mit some system of time signals, pre - tenably either seconds beats or a scientific vernier series as do the French stations, and these are re- ceived at the various observatories of the world where accurate clocks are maintained and frequent star obser- vations are used to check them. Dif- ferences of longitude are deduced from these almost daily throughout the year and the results show very interesting s}'stematic cyclic changes of a frac- tion of a second which are far above any errors to be expected from either the clocks or observations, and these are being studied by international co- operation among the observatories, In this work' the Dominion Observatory is taking an active part.

There is not a nook or corner in Canada, in the cities, towns, villages and on the farms, where Dr. Williams' Pink .Pills have not been used and from one end of the country to the other people sound their praise. You have only to ask your neighbors and they can tell you of some run down Canada's Oil Refineries With the exception of the United States, Canada ranks as the greatest user of automobiles in the world, on the basic of population.

Wade -Earners and Wages, The average number of wage -earn- ', ers engaged in these refineries, was 2,938, and the wages, paid allowed a per capita payment of $1,175 or a total sum of $3,451,642. Wages paid to 272 salaried employees amounted to $371, j 676, or an average of $1,366 each, The total wage and salaried employees was 3,210, while wages paid totalled $3,- 823,318. The selling value at the refineries of the total production was $37,866,907.

Along in the early thirties most folks start taking on weight. Some of the thinner ones look on this tendency to fill out with a great deal of satlss faction, especially if the scales tell them they are approaching the aver- age weight for persons of their age and inches, Been physicians and heal workers' have often assumed that those tables of average weights, which we frequently see published on a card beside the scales, are the normal weights. They have considered that the body machinery of adults who were 20 per cent. or more above or be- low these figures was more or less seri- ously impaired. Now, however, the mortality experi- once of insurance companies has de- monstrated that these average weights may net be the best weights. Their statistics show that when we follow these average figures we may Just be man, suffering woman, ailing youth, taking our ideas from the bad habits or unhappy; anaemic girl who owes of the big majority.

BABY'S GREAT DANGER DURING MOT WEATHER, More little ones die during the hot weather than at any other time of the year. Diarrhoea, dysentry, chol- era infantum and stomach troubles come without warning, and when a medicine is not at hand to give promptly the short delay too fre- quently means that the child has passed beyond aid. Baby's Own Tab- lets should always be kept in the house where there are young chil- dren. An occasional dose of the Tab- lets will prevent stomach and bowel troubles, or if the trouble comes sud- denly the prompt use of the Tablets will relieve the baby.
