an the edge of town, lard or three
squares of the main street were light, 1
ed at night by the windows of the
a.
stales; the rest of the town was in
darkness,
"Children, will you go to the post
office, for the mail?" asked the father
after supper.
"'Oh, yes," they answered, "we'll
go!"
"James," said the:father as he went
to the door with them and savr how
dark it was, "youjhad better take your
new flash light and let it shine on the
Path in front of you 1111 you get down
to the main street. There are some
mudholes by the way and a washout
in the .ditch at the second' Corner."
James, the oldest, led the way; the
sister and smaller brother followed
along behind. The night was very
dark; the path was neither straight
rior smooth. James got along well
enough, for he had the flashlight and
shined it down before him. The others
walked as best they could with the
little light that sifted back to thein,
At last, after the little fellow had
fallen several times and the sister
had got her shoes covered with mud,
she called, "James, I think you ought
to hold the light so we can see, too!
You are using it all for yourself."
Without turning his head, James re-
plied, "This is my flashlight;` Father
gave it to me on my last birthday.
Didn't you hear him tell Me to take
along my flashlight?"
"Yes," said the sister, "it is your
flashlight, but I am sure father meant
you to light the path foe all of us. It
would still be your flashlight if you
held it so we could all see tho path.
1 think you could see even better if
you would make it shine ahead instead
of right down on your own feet."
Being thus admonished by his sister,
whom ho loved and respected, James
turned the light ahead and 'found that
it made better walking for himself.
So they went to the post office. and re-
turned in comfort and safety because
the brother had let his light shine so
that the others might see.

"Eric, keep away from that cage!

Are dirty, Eric—keep off then! If

It was like a never-ending gramo-

Aunt Mary never seemed to tire. At
last the little party paused before a
cage, and Aunt Mary consulted her
catalogue.
"This, children,", she announced, "Is

Eric looked cautiously round as he
whispered to Molly, "Can't we push
her in?"

Constipation—that disordered state
of the digestive tract which is nearly
aiwayts caused by improper feeding—
can be readily regulated by the use of
Baby's Own Tablets. These Tablets
are a mild but thoroughly laxative.
They are easy to take and are abso-
lutely free from injurious drugs. Con-
cerning them Mrs. Joseph Dion, Ste.
Perpetue, Que., writes:—"I have no-
thing but praise for Baby's Own Tab-
lets. When my baby was three months
old he was terribly constipated but
tho Tablets soon set him right and
now at the age of fifteen months he
is a big healthy boy and this good
health I attribute entirely to the use
of the Tablets." They are sold by
medicine dealers or by mail at 25

The Stranger Tumbled.
M, Poincare is fond of telling this
story against himself.
One bitterly cold day the winter -be -
'fore last (he says) I was walking hur-
riedly down the almost. deserted Bois
de Boulogne, the collar of my overcoat
turned up about my ears, my head
bent down against the stinging blast.
I wanted to know the time, but I
was unwilling to unbutton my over-
coat in order to get at my watch. Just
then I saw a man of well-dressed ap-
pearance coming along.
I perceived that he was buttoned up
just as I was. Nevertheless, such is
the selfishness of human nature, when
he arrived opposite to me I touched
my hat politely and said: "Sir, do you
know what time it is?"
The • stranger paused, removed his
right glove, unbuttons i his coat from
top to bottom, unbuttoned his under-
coat, and finally pulled out his watch,
while the cold wind beat against him.
Holding up the timepiece he scrut-
inized it an instant, and said: "Yes!"
Then he passed on without another
word.
He had evidently seen through my
little ruse, and acted accordingly. It
served me right.

HEALTH EDUCATION
1'
BY DR. J. J. MIDDLETON
J
Breast feeding seems to be one of
the greatest checks to infant mortal-
ity that is known. It is positively
alarming to take the records in any
community and see the great pre-
ponderance of bottle-fed babies. While
some women through physical weak-
ness probably cannot nurse the babies,
the tendency of the present time is
for mothers to forego breast feeding
on account of the interference with
social duties and ordinary routine of
life that it would entail. Coupled
with this regrettable viewpoint is the
fact of commercialism in the supply
of infant foods. Even cow's milk
which, with a proper percentage of
added sugar and water, makes the
best substitute for mother's milk,
nowadays rarely contains a proper
standard of fat, the high prices of
butter at present tempting many peo-
ple to use the separator at the ex-
pense of child life.
In conversation with a doctor re-
cently in a good sized country town,
he told me the startling news that it
was almost impossible to get pure
milk of sufficient fat standard, on
account of the prevalence of separa-
tors throughout the country. It is
evident that the unfortunate results
of this pauperizing of • the milk is
not realized by the people who do the
separating, for there tis not a man or
woman in Ontario worth the name
who would think of depriving the
children of their only means of proper
sustenance in the early months of
life. It is just the lack of knowledge,
coupled with the desire to make leg -
timate profits from butter, which now
fetches a high price on the market.
This is one of the most important
factors to be dealt with in the present
campaign to build up a more robust
babyhood in this province.
Some of the reasons why a baby
should be breast fed are as follows:—
Breast milk is always ready and is
never sour: it does not have to be pre-
pared or measured; it is nature's
method and was intended for the
baby; it will make the baby strong
and healthy; it is absolutely free from,
germs and dirt; it protects the baby!
from many infant's diseases; it is
safer for the baby; ten bottle-fed
babies die to every one fed on the
breast; it contains the proper elements
of food in the- right proportion for
the growing child; breast -feel babies
seldom have trowel trouble, which is
so fatal in bottle-fed babies especially
in hot weather; the 'baby -will have
the best chance of living if breast
fed.
A normal baby should show the
following points in its development:—
A steady gain in weight; bowel move-
ments every day; a good appetite; no
vomiting; a clear skin; bright, wide
open eyes; very little crying; quiet
unbroken sleep, with eyes' and mouth
closed; a constant growth in stature
and intelligence.
The temperature of the baby's bath
should be from 98 to 100 deg. F., and
it should always be kept warm.
Even a slight chill often brings
disastrous results to one so young.

THE TREASURE
OF GOOD HEALTH
Easily Maintained Through the
Use of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills.
There is not a nook or corner in
Canada, in the cities, the towns, in
villages, on the farms and in the mines
and lumber camps, where Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills have not been used,
and from one end of the country to
the other they have brought back to
bread -winners, their wives and fam
ilies the splendid treasure of new
health and strength.
You have only to ask your neigh-
bors, and they can tell you of some
rheumatic or nerve -shattered man,
some suffering woman, ailing youth or
anaemic girl who owes present health
and strength to Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. For more than a quarter of a
century these pills have been known
not only in Canada, but throughout all
the world, as a reliable tonic, blood-
making medicine.
The wonderful success of Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills is due to the fact
that they go right to the root of the
disease in the blood, and by making
the vital fluid rich and red strengthen
every organ and every nerve, thus
driving out disease and pain, and
making weak, despondent people
bright, active and wrong. Mr. W. T.
Johnson, one of the best known and
most highly esteemed men in Lrnen-
burg county, N.S., says:—"I ale a
Provincial Land Surveyor, and am ex-
posed
xposed for the greater part of the year
to very• hard work travelling through
the forests by day and camping out
by night, and I find the only thing that
will keep me up to the mark is Do
Williams' Pink Pills. When I leave
home for a trip in the woods I am as
interested in having my supply of pills
as provisions, -and on such occasions,
I take then regularly. The result is
I am always fit. I never take cold,
and can digest all kinds of food such
as we have to pht up with hastily cook-
ed in the woods. Having proved the
value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, as
a tonic and health builder, I am never
without them, and I lose no opportun-
ity in recommending them to weak
people whom I meet."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should be
kept in every home, and their occa-
sional use will keep the blood pure
and ward off illness. You can get
these pills through any medicihe deal-
er, or by nail at 50 cents a box or six
.boxes for $2.50 from the Dr. —Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. .

Love.
Love is a power
All over the world,
Wherever you go
Its banner's unfurled.
It waves in the breeze,
And sails tru' the air.
Go where you please,
Love ft is there.
It's out on the ocean,.
It's here upon land,
And causes commotion
On every hand.
It rides on the billows
Or lives in the waves;
Sternness it mellows
And sorrow it laves.
Loye is divine,
It comes from above,
And glistens in sunshine,—
Beautiful love.
It's up in the mountains
And valleys below;
It gushes in fountains,
And sparkles in snow.
It abides in the cities,
Or lives in a town;
And lifts man when he's down.
The needy it pities,
It stalks along hedges
With arrows and quiver,
Or slumbers on ledges
By Love's beautiful river.
It swoops along highways
And over broad plains],
And steals along byways
And along lovers' lanes.
The birds in the woodland
And in the green lea,
All warble of love
To you and to me.

When Bill Nye Sold His Cow.
Bill Nye the humorist once had a
cow he wanted to sell, and he un-
blushingly advertised all her faults
while naming the few virtues she
seems to have possessed, His adver-
tisement ran:
"Owing to my i11 health, I will sell
at my residence in township 19, range
18, according to the Government's sur-
vey, one plush raspberry cow, age
eight years. She is of undoubted
courage and gives milk frequently. To
the man who does not fear death in
any form, she would be a great Loon.
She is very much attached to her
present home with a stay chain, but
she will be sold to anyone who will
agree to treat her right. She is one-
fourth Shorthorn and three-quarters
hyena. I will also throw in a double-
barrel shotgun, which goes with her.
In May she usually goes away for a
week or two and returns with a tall
red calf with wobbly legs. Her name
is Rose. I would rather sell her to a
non-resident, the farther away the
better,"
