"'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.

A Wonderful Opportunity. The children—Eric and his little sister—found Aunt Mary altogether too strict. She certainly fried her best to amuse them, and one morning took. them to the zoo. But it was a failure. "Eric, keep away from that cage! Molly, your hat's crooked! Those seats Are dirty, Eric—keep off then! If you bite the finger of your glove again, 11olly, I shall take you straight home!" It was like a never-ending gramo- phone record on good behavior, and 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 an ant -eater," Eric looked cautiously round as he whispered to Molly, "Can't we push her in?" Not In League of Nations.

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."

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. There have been women Freemasons in France since 1785, while in Spain women are admitted to many of the ordinary lodges on equal terms with men. 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.

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. . Joy for the Wife.
